Pei Zhili was stunned, his heart was gradually filled with a sour feeling, and was about to overflow.

"Yeah." He responded, with an imperceptible tremor in his voice.

"As for whether he did it on purpose, it doesn't matter. I'll figure it out, don't worry." Jiang Tingxia continued to reassure him, "But thank you for reminding me. I'm very happy."

If he didn't care about her as a mother, he wouldn't need to care at all. Why would she tell him these things?

And she was not at all reluctant to express her feelings to him, letting him know that everything he did would get her feedback, instead of being ignored.

As an orphan, she knew all too well what those neglected children wanted most. What they wanted was simple: care from those close to them. Even just a few words could make them happy all day.

Since she now has the opportunity and ability to care for others, why not make good use of it?

In short, she would love these three children well, letting them know that they could be loved in this way, and their inner wounds would slowly heal.

She doesn't believe they can still grow crooked!

Pei Zhili stared at her bright and warm smile in a trance, and after a few seconds he said, "I'm going to school."

"Okay, the midterm exam is coming soon, come on." Jiang Tingxia patted his shoulder, "I'll make you a strawberry cake when I come back tonight."

"Okay." Pei Zhili curled the corners of his mouth, then turned and went downstairs, his steps extremely brisk.

In the room, Jiang Qixing slept until noon. After his fever subsided, he felt much better. He propped himself up and sat up, only to find someone in the room.

Yes...Mom.

She was sitting on the sofa by the window, looking at something on her laptop. She raised one hand and hooked the hair scattered around her ears behind her head, revealing her fair and delicate profile.

The midday sun shone in and fell on her, outlining her whole body as beautiful as a painting.

Has she been watching over him all this time?

Jiang Qixing was a little dazed for a moment.

At this moment, Jiang Tingxia noticed the movement over here and turned to look. Seeing that he had woken up, she quickly put down the computer and walked towards him, "Xiaoxing, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

As she spoke, she reached out and touched his forehead. She found that the fever seemed to have subsided, and she couldn't help but smile, "The fever is gone, that's great."

Although Jiang Qixing did not resist being touched by her, his expression was still a little unnatural, "I'm hungry."

Thinking that sick people have poor appetites, Jiang Tingxia asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you."

"No." Jiang Qixing was not interested. Then he thought of something and looked at her and said, "Cake, strawberry flavor."

Jiang Tingxia, "..."

Good man, does he know that Pei Zhili likes this? Even though Xiaoli is not at home, he still deliberately makes such a request?

She was becoming more and more curious about the conflict between the two of them, but neither of them wanted to talk about it. It was really a headache. She had to find a way to find out clearly so that she could find the right solution.

Thinking about it, Jiang Tingxia smiled nonchalantly, "Okay, then strawberry cake."

...

As soon as school was over in the evening, Pei Zhili packed his bag and was about to leave. Several of his followers immediately came up to him and said, "Boss, you haven't been to happy with us for a long time. Is there something on your mind?"

Pei Zhili glanced at them and said seriously, "I want to study."

"What, studying? Boss, are you okay? Don't you hate studying the most?"

"My mom likes it."

Followers, "???"

They were completely confused, "Boss, that's your stepmother, right? Why do you listen to her so much?"

Pei Zhili said dissatisfiedly: "What stepmother? I say again, she is my biological mother. If you see her, be careful."

The followers were even more confused. At this moment, someone accidentally saw someone standing outside the classroom and immediately started gossiping, "Hey, boss, the school beauty is waiting for you."

Pei Zhili raised his eyes lazily and found Su Cheng standing outside the classroom. He didn't know when he came.

When he looked over, she looked away a little embarrassedly. Normally, she would not come to see him unless she had something to do, but today was a new experience.

Pei Zhili walked out with his schoolbag and stopped in front of her. "What's the matter?"

Su Cheng, “…”

She could clearly feel that ever since Pei Zhili left with that woman in the box that night, his relationship with her seemed to have become distant. He hadn't looked for her in the past few days, but he used to look for her every day and get angry when he couldn't find her.

But now... she seemed to have become a dispensable person.

Is he really in love with someone else?

Su Cheng was a little uncomfortable with his coldness and a little panicked. If this was true, she didn't know how to explain it to her family?

If she didn't get any more benefits from him, her parents would definitely beat her severely. And last night, her mother told her to find a way to get Pei Zhili to help transfer her disappointing brother to the best Chongyang Middle School.

It was a so-called private aristocratic middle school. The annual tuition was shockingly expensive, not something an ordinary family like hers could afford. She had to rely on Pei Zhili. As long as he asked, it would be a matter of minutes.

Outside the classroom, the setting sun shone through the branches of the camphor trees, casting spots of light on the corridor. Two good-looking people stood together, and the picture was as beautiful as an idol drama. The students were all watching with gossip.

Su Cheng handed him a lunch box and whispered, "Um... I made some snacks for you. I learned how to make them recently. I wonder if you like them?"

From the transparent glass cover you can see some animal-shaped cookies, which are small and cute.

Before, Pei Zhili would have definitely accepted it. But now, he inexplicably lost interest. He wanted to go home as soon as possible because there was a small cake waiting for him at home.

That is not something this kind of biscuit can compare to, even if Su Cheng put his heart into it.

The students were all waiting for Pei Zhili to pick it up, but he didn't move at all. Instead, he said something to Su Cheng. Su Cheng's face suddenly changed, and he stood there at a loss.

Pei Zhili walked past her and left.

Su Cheng stood there stiffly, thinking about what he had just said to her -

"No thanks, someone made me some snacks."

So, did he really fall in love with someone else?

So what should she do...

Before, she couldn't stand his control and wanted to break away from it all the time. But now he seemed to have let go of her and no longer restrained her, and she just couldn't accept it.

The students around were talking about it. Su Cheng felt a little embarrassed. He bit his lip and turned to run away.

...

Pei Zhili returned home as quickly as possible. As soon as he entered the door, he accidentally glanced towards the restaurant. Then, his face changed instantly!
