The morning sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Mei's fair and tender face.

Hmm~ I stretched out my limbs and yawned.

"Opening her eyes, looking at the familiar ceiling, it was definitely her home," Mei guessed, "I guessed that Ryoma must have carried me back."

Then, Mei climbed out of her crib and went to the hallway outside.

The maid in the house picked her up when she saw this.

Mei struggled, trying to get down. After getting down, she slowly walked towards the bathroom.

Seeing this situation

"Little Mei, do you need to use the restroom? Let me help you." The maid picked her up and carried her to the bathroom.

"I'm so embarrassed, I just wanted to go to the toilet by myself." Mei's face was bright red.

After the meal, Mei found Butler Li. She said pitifully, "Uncle Li."

Butler Li looked at Mei and asked, "What's wrong, Miss Mei?"

"The hospital, take me to the hospital to find my mom," Mei pleaded, looking weak and helpless. (I'm so disgusted, I can't believe she's acting like this.)

"This..." Butler Li was in a dilemma. He knew about her mother's situation, and for Mei, who was not even two years old, this was undoubtedly a painful blow.

Mei noticed his predicament, silently took out a small knife, and held it to her own neck.

Seeing this, Butler Li was terrified. "Miss, don't do anything foolish! I'll take you there, okay?"

After hearing this, I put the knife down. Butler Li quickly took the knife away from me.

"Waaaaah, who said children are innocent? This is so unfair! Is this a child who is not even two years old?" Butler Li thought bitterly.

I had no choice but to take Mei to the hospital by car.

Following Butler Li, I saw my mother in her hospital bed again.

"Mom," she called softly.

"Mei, what brings you here again?" Her voice held a hint of surprise. At the same time, she looked at Butler Li with a slightly reproachful gaze.

What you mean is, why did you bring my daughter here and let her see me like this? Don't you know it will leave a psychological scar on her?

Butler Li smiled bitterly to himself: "Your daughter is too clever. Even with a knife to her throat, I still wouldn't give in?"

Watching the mother and daughter, Butler Li quietly left the ward.

The mother and daughter talked for a long time. She was very happy that her daughter could speak before she was two years old, because she was very satisfied that she could express her love for her daughter before she had much time left in her life.

During the next few days of her holiday, she would have Butler Li take her to the hospital to visit her mother every day.

As time went by, her health deteriorated, to the point that she needed a ventilator.

Until one day, she spoke tremblingly in bed.

"Ya... Yi, if... Mom leaves you one day, what... what will you do?" She made up her mind and asked this question.

Mei suddenly fell silent, looking at the woman before her. Mei lacked the innocence of a child; her soul had long since matured. Mei knew that this mother was about to leave her forever.

After a long silence, Mei decided to let her leave with peace of mind.

"No, because Mom and Mei made a pinky promise that she would never leave me. If I can't see Mom for a day, I know she will become the brightest star in the sky, watching over me forever. So Mei still has hope for the future because Mom is always by my side." Mei smiled with relief, tears slowly streaming down her face.

With all her might, she hugged Mei tightly. "Yes, Mom has watched you grow up." (I really, really want to spend more time with you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mom can't watch you grow up anymore.)

After that day, Mei never saw her mother again. She heard from Butler Li that her mother had passed away.

That night, Raiden Ryoma returned home very early and saw Mei crying with her head buried on the sofa.

He hugged her and patted her back.

Mei looked at Raiden Ryoma, buried her head in his chest, and cried bitterly.

That night, all was silent—

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The golden sun shone on the girl's face. She stretched roughly and sat up, pulling her disheveled hair back.

Picking up my phone, I exclaimed, "It's already 7:30!" and jumped out of bed.

Looking at the photo of his mother from when he was a child on the bedside table, he said, "Good morning, Mom, I'm going to school."

Now, Mei has been in this world for seven years. Unlike when she was two, she is no longer physically disabled and doesn't need anyone's care anymore. She chooses a pair of sweatpants and a white long-sleeved shirt. On the other side of the wardrobe, there are many dresses and other items that the maids have bought for her. Mei glances at them and then ignores them.

If Mei were a boy, she would be very handsome, but unfortunately she's a girl. After living together for seven years, the former Hu Ritian still hasn't gotten used to women's clothing. Every time he tries to, he feels a strong sense of shame and gives up.

Most importantly, he didn't want to forget his past as Hu Ritian, which included his pride and sense of accomplishment.

Mei opened the door and found a maid. "Sister Aki, could you help me fix my hair?" Mei said.

Xiao Qiu, this maid, has been laid off by Raiden Ryoma in recent years because Mei has grown up and become more mobile. This left behind the new Xiao Qiu and the original butler, Li.

"Miss Mei, are you really not going to wear the dress I bought for you?" Xiao Qiu asked Mei as she led her to the dressing table and braided her hair.

"No," Mei rolled her eyes at her.

"But you look really good dressed, please~" Xiao Qiu still wouldn't give up.

"I don't want to wear a skirt, it feels chilly, I don't want to wear one," Mei still refused.

This answer left Xiao Qiu speechless. "Then what will you do in the summer?" Xiao Qiu continued to ask.

"Short-sleeved shirts with long pants, plus a trench coat, and the pants must have a zipper so they can hold things," Mei replied.

Xiao Qiu: "……………".

"Sigh," Xiao Qiu sighed. She finished braiding Mei's hair.

"By the way, Sister Xiaoqiu, could you teach me how to braid hair sometime?" Mei said.

"What, you suddenly want to learn this?" Sister Xiaoqiu asked curiously.

Mei closed her eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "One day you and I will be separated, and then no one will braid my hair."

"Hehe, okay." Xiao Qiu readily agreed.

After her hair was braided and tied up, Xiao Qiu suddenly reached out and hugged Mei from behind, taking advantage of her.

Mei blushed, but was mostly speechless.

"Never mind, I'm leaving." Mei left without even glancing at her.

"What's wrong? Why are you so shy? So cute." Xiao Qiu carefully recalled the feel of her hand.

However, the maid named Xiaoqiu couldn't understand why Mei, such a cute girl, would refuse to wear a skirt and instead wear boys' clothes.

Although Mei and Aki are in a master-servant relationship, Mei is completely unpretentious and polite to the butler and others, while Aki is lively and enthusiastic towards her. As a result, the two have always had a very good relationship.

After a quick breakfast, I went to elementary school.

As I stepped out of the house, the housekeeper was already waiting.

Butler Li opened the car door, bowed slightly, and said, "Miss, please get in the car."

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Li," Mei replied politely.

He then got on the bus and lay down in his seat.

“This is the life of the rich,” Mei recalled.

Thinking back to the novels I used to read, I was envious of those rich kids who did whatever they wanted at school and showed off everywhere.

Thinking back to my days as a slacker, I was well-behaved and low-key at school. Although I was somewhat handsome, my grades were just average, and I had very little presence. I didn't dare confess to the pretty girls in my class, afraid they wouldn't like me back, which was really embarrassing ╯▂╰.

Looking back on my academic career, I feel it was quite a failure, with too many regrets.

However, in this life, and now that she is a rich young lady, she must go to school to make a name for herself and find a couple of underlings.

"It's a new day again." Mei is now very much looking forward to school.
