During breakfast, there were only three people sitting at the table. Jiang Tingxia raised an eyebrow and said, "I say, don't you ask why your father didn't come down?"

Jiang Suisui swallowed the food in his mouth and asked perfunctorily, "So, why didn't Dad come down?"

Pei Zhili continued to eat breakfast, not interested in the topic. It would be better if the old man was not there, so that he could sit next to his mother all the time.

Jiang Tingxia laughed, "Because I punished him by making him kneel on a durian all night last night, and I let him sleep when I got up."

"Why?" Jiang Suisui was a little surprised.

"It's because he didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a father and didn't take good care of you that a good family ended up like this. Of course I have to punish him."

“…” Jiang Suisui remained silent and did not leave.

In her memory, her father always left them to the care of a nanny. Later, when they grew up, they no longer needed a nanny, but he still did not participate in their life. It did not make much difference whether or not this father was there.

Jiang Tingxia sighed, "I know this punishment isn't enough to offset his irresponsibility. But are you willing to give him a chance to reform? I believe he'll become a good father."

Jiang Suisui thought about it and said politely, "Okay!"

Pei Zhili still didn't say anything, as if he remembered something bad. His thin lips were pursed into a cold straight line. He also lost his appetite. He put down the half-eaten toast in his hand and picked up the milk to drink.

Jiang Tingxia noticed his reluctance. It seemed that the conflict between him and Pei Yanzhou was very deep, and he had never said anything. She had to find a time to communicate with him properly.

But now was not the time. She pretended to be angry and said, "Xiao Li, how can you, a senior in high school, only eat so little? That won't do. Eat everything in front of you."

Seeing her stern face, which looked serious but not fierce at all, instead showed her concern for him, Pei Zhili's gloomy mood suddenly improved a lot, and he picked up the bread again, "Oh."

After breakfast, Jiang Tingxia personally packed their lunch boxes into their school bags. Pei Zhili picked up the school bags and suddenly called her before leaving, "Mom."

Jiang Tingxia said, "Hmm?" "What's wrong, baby?"

Pei Zhili's eyes flickered and he looked away, as if a little embarrassed. "Well, I have a basketball game tonight. Can you... come and watch?"

Jiang Tingxia's eyes lit up, and she agreed without a second thought, "Okay! Where are you competing? Do you want me to bring some bouquets, banners, or something to cheer you on?"

"The school gymnasium. It doesn't have to be so troublesome, as long as..." He raised his eyes to look at her, his ears slightly red, "as long as you can come."

"Yes! I will definitely be there!" Jiang Tingxia nodded seriously.

Pei Zhili then turned around and walked out of the villa gate. As he walked down the stairs in front of the door, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.

Although the smile of joy that came from the heart was very shallow, it was so novel in the eyes of the driver, Uncle Zhang, that his jaw almost dropped.

This young master had a bad temper, was gloomy, and moody. Even when he smiled, it was always a sneer. He had been a driver for the Pei family for several years, and he had never seen him smile like this. Today, the sun rose from the west...

Jiang Tingxia watched the car drive out of his sight, then turned back, but was caught off guard by a big hand around his waist, and the next second his whole body was held in a strong and broad chest.

The man rested his head on her shoulder, saying nothing, but holding her tighter and tighter.

Jiang Tingxia was almost out of breath and reached out to push him, "Pei Yanzhou, what's wrong with you? Are you still not awake?"

"..." Pei Yanzhou breathed heavily, then raised his head from the crook of her neck, looking at her with a pair of dark-circled eyes, his voice slightly hoarse, "It's because I woke up and saw that you were not there, so I panicked."

He immediately rushed out of the room, looking for her everywhere, until he saw her standing at the door, his heart, which had been hanging in his throat, finally fell.

Jiang Tingxia's heart suddenly softened. She reached out and hugged him back, smiling and saying, "Why are you panicking? I'm still here, aren't I?"

"I'm just panicking. So, next time, if you get up earlier than me, you have to wake me up. I don't want to see me the only one left in the room." Pei Yanzhou was still scared.

He knew clearly that even though Jiang Tingxia had returned and the previous trauma had gradually healed, it still left an indelible scar in his heart. Whenever he couldn't see her, he would become extremely nervous, fearing that she would disappear again...

Jiang Tingxia's eyes were a little hot, and she turned around and kissed his chin, "I know."

Just as she was speaking, she suddenly flew into the air and was picked up by Pei Yanzhou and walked upstairs.

The servants who were cleaning all looked over with gossipy expressions. Jiang Tingxia felt embarrassed and whispered, "Hey, Pei Yanzhou, what are you doing so early in the morning? Can you please pay attention to the impact?"

"This is my home. I can do whatever I want." Pei Yanzhou lowered his eyes to look at her, a smile in his dark eyes. "Today it's your turn to accompany me to catch up on my sleep, but if you want to do something else to help me cheer myself up, I'd be happy to do that too."

Butler Zhong happened to pass by, and it was unknown whether he had heard it. Jiang Tingxia's ears felt hot, and he reached out and pinched Pei Yanzhou's waist, cursing, "You old pervert!"

Butler Zhong, "?" They're not talking about him, right?

...

In the early winter evening, the sky gradually darkened and yellow leaves slowly fell outside the classroom window.

"Jiang Qixing, how do I solve this problem? Can you teach me?"

"Yeah, Jiang Qixing, tonight's homework is really hard!"

In the back of the third grade classroom, Class 1, most of the students had already left, but Jiang Qixing was still sitting there, showing no sign of leaving. He was surrounded by several girls, each pretending to ask him questions but actually staring intently at his beautiful, delicate face.

There were also a lot of girls crowded outside the classroom, pushing and shoving each other to look inside.

Jiang Qixing seldom came to school, and it was rare to see him. Unfortunately, no matter how enthusiastic they were, Jiang Qixing didn't react at all, as if he treated them as invisible people, and just scribbled on his sketchbook.

There were already several cats drawn on it, and each one was lifelike.

But something went wrong as he was drawing. For some reason, the last cat he drew turned out to be Hello Kitty...

The girls around looked at each other, with expressions of surprise and astonishment on their faces.

It turns out that Jiang Qixing likes cats and Hello Kitty. He actually has a girlish heart!

By the time Jiang Qixing realized what was happening, the drawing was already complete. His eyes suddenly turned stern, and he fiercely crossed out Hello Kitty with his pencil until it turned into a black mass.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. From time to time, he would think of the woman who looked exactly like his mother, and the way she held his hand and put a Band-Aid on him with a worried look on her face...
