So that’s how it is!
Chi Zaozao looked at the man at the bottom of the stairs, her eyes red, throat raw, and chest heavy, feeling very uncomfortable.
She wouldn’t accept it, couldn’t accept how he had spoken of her so harshly.
She took a deep breath and glared at him in rebuttal, “Ye Que, how is my thinking dirty?
I just like you, I want to be with you forever, is that wrong too?”
He stood at the lower end of the staircase, and she at the top, their gaze locked.
It was the first time she had looked at him with tears in her eyes, pitifully wanting to break down and cry.
He remained as cold as ice.
Initially intending to go upstairs, he now turned around, with his back to her, decisively leaving the house.
Chi Zaozao chased down the stairs, yelling at his receding figure, “You’re just a cold-hearted jerk, you don’t know what love is, what do you know?
Why do you speak about me like that?
So what if my thoughts are dirty?
So what if I want to sleep with you every day?
Bastard, if you leave, don’t come back!”
Xue Rong quickly followed and hugged her, “Alright, Zaozao, stop making a fuss, Ye Er is a jerk, we shouldn’t stoop to his level, okay?”
Seeing him resolutely drive away, Chi Zaozao felt a deep sense of grievance and burst into sobs in Xue Rong’s arms.
“Mommy, mommy, what did I do wrong?
Why does he despise me so much?
I’m not neglecting my studies, I’ve been trying, these past few days, I’ve been trying!
He’s not blind, he can see, why does he talk about me like that?”
“Yes, yes, Ye Er is blind, Zaozao, you’re an adult now, stop crying, haven’t you had dinner yet?
After dinner, Mommy will take you to the movies, okay?”
Chi Zaozao left Xue Rong’s embrace, sniffed, and pouted her lips, “Mommy, I’m not a little kid anymore, why are you still trying to coax me with that?
Forget it, I’ll eat something first and then go study.
The college entrance exam is in a month, and I’ll definitely try hard.
I’m going to get into University A, and we’ll see what he can say to dismiss me then.”
Xue Rong laughed, “That’s right!
If we don’t show him our achievements, he’ll think women have nothing better to do all day.
Zaozao, you go for it, Mommy believes in you.”
Chi Zaozao was amused by Xue Rong’s encouraging gesture, she giggled through her tears and headed towards the dining room, sniffing along the way.
After eating, she went upstairs to study.
Two days later, Tang Wanjun returned.
Upon returning, he resumed his role as Chi Zaozao’s tutor.
Only three days remained until the college entrance exam.
But, during these two days, Tang Wanjun suggested, “Zaozao, let’s not study today, how about I take you to the movies instead?”
Chi Zaozao worriedly said, “The exams are coming, and you still feel like taking me to the movies?”
“It’s precisely because the exams are coming that we need to relax!” he answered.
Chi Zaozao felt that made sense; for nearly two months leading up to the exams, she’d been buried in books, almost turning into a bookworm.
So to relax and prepare for the exam, she should indeed go out and have some fun.
“Okay, you decide.
What movie shall we watch?
But after the movie, you have to accompany me to the amusement park,” she stated.
Tang Wanjun was only too willing, “That’s already in my plans, haha!”
The two of them chatted as they drove to the nearest cinema.
They bought tickets for “My Old Classmate,” a film starring the popular actor Lin Gengxin and actress Zhou Dongyu.
Chi Zaozao quite liked these nostalgic movies.
Holding the movie ticket and a tub of popcorn, she followed Tang Wanjun into the cinema.
