Cha Cha changed the habit of sleeping late in the morning.
She set an alarm at six o'clock in the morning. She managed to get up from the bed despite being too sleepy to open her eyes. After taking her breakfast, she went to Shen Zhi's door to wait for him.
Shen Zhi came out on time pushing his bicycle. Cha Cha’s eyebrows brightened and began chatting about boring things.
She talked while he listened.
When they reached the alley, Cha Cha sat in the back seat of Shen Zhi's bicycle, carefully putting her hands on his waist.
It was the end of summer and early autumn, so the wind was blowing gently.
Chacha raised her face and her black pupils looked at the boy’s profile. His jawline was perfect, his nose was tall, his lips were red, his teeth were white, and the dazzling sunlight poured on his delicate skin, making it more brilliant.
No matter how many times Cha Cha looks at him, she would never get tired of it.
Shen Zhi is really good-looking and his body smells good.
A light and faint fragrance.
Cha Cha said softly spoke, “A Zhi."
The boy turned his face as he answered with a low and sweet voice, “Huh?"
Chacha whispered in her heart: Let's be good friends for life, OK?
The girl hid her words inside the bottom of her heart because of shyness. She changed her words and said, "I just want to call you. Your name sounds nice."
Shen Zhi's body became tight. He was a little at a loss after being praised and the tips of his ears became red without anyone noticing.

After her daughter went to school, Chu Qingying cleaned the kitchen and planned to go to the flower shop.
She had just finished changing her clothes when the doorbell rang.
Chu Qingying went to open the door, "You..."
However, the latter words stopped abruptly when she clearly saw the other person. Chu Qingying subconsciously wanted to close the door. However, the strength of the man's wrist was ten times that of hers. His five fingers firmly controlled the door frame and his leather shoes were pressed on the edge of the door. She tried to close the door, but it wouldn’t budge.
Jiang Chengzhou's compelling gaze was fixed on her face. The man's aura was even more majestic than it was a decade ago and his whole body was cold.
Chu Qingying was so frightened that tears almost fell. The fear in her bones surged the moment she saw this man. Over the years, she tried hard to forget that memory. Unfortunately, it was all in vain.
She remembers every minutia clearly.
The year she met Jiang Chengzhou, she was still an ignorant and naive student who had just entered university.
But she didn't know how the youthful girl got Jiang Chengzhou's favor. She was forced to marry him.
Chu Qingying hadn't even enjoyed a normal University life when she was taken to his home and held captive by him. He was pathologically possessive and hid her from the world. (TN: He's insane)
She escaped several times, but Jiang Chengzhou was like playing a cat-and-mouse game, breaking her last shed of hope.
He could always find her easily. Even in airports, railway stations, and bus stations. No matter what kind of transportation there is.
Her disobedience angered Jiang Chengzhou. As a result, Chu Qingying was imprisoned in his high-end apartment on the twentieth floor for almost four years with the doors and windows all locked.
The only person she could see was Jiang Chengzhou. She had to beg him if she wanted to go out at least once. Chu Qingying's eye sockets turned red from fright and her body trembled slightly.
Jiang Chengzhou squeezed her chin and sneered, “What are you crying for?"
He raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Good job hiding our daughter under my nose for so many years and even secretly giving birth to her."
When Chu Qingying heard him speaking about their daughter, she suddenly became nervous. Her voice tremblingly said, “What do you want to do? Don't you hurt my daughter?"
Jiang Chengzhou wished he could tie this woman to his home right away, but he held back knowing that he couldn't act too hastily, or it would be too bad to scare her away.
He smiled, “What nonsense are you talking about? Cha Cha is also my daughter. Of course, I want to take her home."
Chu Qingying was weak by nature so her tears kept falling. Her eyes flushed, “No way."
Jiang Chengzhou really wanted to take her daughter away from her. She cannot accept it.
Jiang Chengzhou laughed when he heard this, "Why can't I? Do you want to rob me? Do you have the ability to grab something from me?"
Chu Qingying couldn't beat him. The Jiang family was powerful and influential. Jiang Chengzhou had never been a vegetarian in all these years. He’s someone who can make anyone suffer by simply moving his fingers.
Jiang Chengzhou held back his desire, "Jiang Chen knows that he still has a younger sister and he is very happy about it. I can't bear to see the siblings separated."
When Chu Qingying heard her son's name, she was in a daze and her tears kept streaming.
She was forced by Jiang Chengzhou to leave her son, but she didn't mean to leave her son behind.
Jiang Chengzhou saw the acceptance and didn’t want to push her to a dead end. He wiped the tears on the woman's cheek with his fingertips, "Yingying, I'll give you..."
Chu Qingying interrupted him, her red eyes looking at him pitifully. She grabbed a hold of his hand and begged, “Jiang Chengzhou, let's talk."
Jiang Chengzhou raised his eyebrows and answered, "Okay."

Their classmates in the classroom saw Chacha and Shen Zhi entered together and were not surprised.
The two of them are neighbors and childhood sweethearts, therefore, their relationship is better than ordinary classmates.
Cha Cha just walked towards her seat with her schoolbag and found that her deskmate was being bullied.
Yu Gu is a boring gourd and can go all day without having to say a single word.
The boys in the back row don’t study well and only rely on Yu since he doesn’t speak up. They insisted, "Yue, lend me your pen."
Yu Gu's expression was cold, holding a pen tightly in his hand. He was obviously reluctant to let him borrow it.
The boys had gathered around his table laughing, “Why are you so stingy? Isn't it just a pen?"
Yu Gu held the pen silently.
The boy asked with a mocking tone, “Eh, are you dumb? A dumb straight-A student?"
Chacha walked over, watching them with her beautiful eyes, then slowly said, "Last week, you guys got beaten up by Class III. Now that you couldn’t bully the other class you end up bullying our class. You guys are really capable.”
The faces of a few boys turned red and blue with what she said, then they snorted, "No, we’re borrowing."
Chacha's eyes widen making her look a bit fierce and cute. She said, "Don't bully my deskmate in the future."
Chacha was sympathetic towards Yu since he had been following her since they were children.
When she was a little girl with pigtails at the age of five, she patted little Yu on the shoulder like a big sister and said she would protect him in the future.
"So, you were not scared, are you?"
Yu Gu shook his head, then took out a piece of chocolate from his bag and placed it on her soft palm, "For you. You eat it."
The chocolate was from Yu Gu's father who brought it to him from abroad on a business trip last week.
"Thank you."
She peeled off the chocolate packaging, placed it on her teeth, and took a bite.
The delicate and beautiful young man turned his eyes to look at her intently. Then he asked, "Is it delicious Chacha?"
Chacha nodded, “It's delicious."
When Yu Gu heard her say it was delicious, he grabbed a bag of chocolate from his schoolbag and gave it all to her.
Chacha ate two pieces by herself and divided some pieces for Chen Xinyi at the back table.
She didn't notice how Yu Gu became a little unhappy.
After the morning class, Cha Cha was called to the office by the teacher.
Jiang Ruan had a bump on her forehead and cried all night. She couldn't wait to complain to the teacher and vowed to get Chacha in trouble.
Jiang Ruan's head teacher softly comforted Jiang Ruan. He turned his face and looked at Cha Cha with a serious expression. Then he sharply asked, “Classmate Jiang Ruan said you deliberately caused her to fall and hit the wall. Was there such a thing?"
Cha Cha was very calm as she shook her head, “No."
The head teacher curled her eyebrows, “Then how did she hit the wall so deliberately?"
Chacha said solemnly, “Maybe she has an underdeveloped cerebellum, so she couldn’t stand firmly." (TN: haha savage Chacha)
Jiang Ruan glared at her with red eyes, “You!"
Jiang Ruan's teeth itched in anger, "You deliberately avoided me, causing me to hit the wall."
Chacha thought for a while, before seriously saying, “Teacher, I didn’t know Classmate Jiang would rush over suddenly. After all, I don't have eyes behind me."
Jiang Ruan's homeroom teacher was left stunned and speechless.
However, the daughter of the Jiang family got injured in school, so he had to give an explanation. He said, “A classmate in Class 2 testified that you tripped classmate Jiang which caused her to fall. How about you apologize to classmate Jiang and write a reflection, then the matter is over."
Chacha, who grew up in a single-parent family can tolerate anything as much as she can. But Jiang Ruan was obviously deceiving and bullying others by taking advantage of the situation.
Chacha pursed her lips and said, “The students in Class 2 are really pitiful."
"?"
Seeing the teacher's eyes turning strange, Chacha said in her natural tone, “They have bad eyes."
"..."
"Well, they might necessarily not have bad eyesight. Maybe it's because they have eaten too many poisonous mushrooms this season which made them have hallucinations. Otherwise, how could they see me stretch out my feet and trip up classmate Jiang."
The teacher was afraid to get sick in anger if he continues talking to her. He coldly said, "Call your parents over tomorrow."
Outside the office, Jiang Ruan victoriously walked past and sneered at her, "The mud legs dared to upset me, even if her mother cries tomorrow and apologizes to me, I will let Dad get her expelled."
(TN:[泥腿]Mud legs is often used as a disparaging term for peasants, referring to hillbillies, uneducated, and outdated people)
"Ruan Ruan, your family treats you very well."
Eating expensive food and wearing the most expensive fashion, she is living the best of life. She doesn't even care about bracelets worth tens of thousands of dollars. Her school uniforms are all custom-made and the fabrics are different from theirs. Jiang Ruan answered indifferently, “Of course, I am Grandma’s favorite. Also, for my birthday this year, my Grandma said that she would give me a Villa.”
The little follower said, “Compared with you Chucha is really shabby, and the clothes she usually wears look very cheap."
Jiang Ruan hummed, “How is she worthy to be compared to me?"
It may be a girl's intuition, but from the moment her brother went to look for Cha Cha and talked to her like a treasure, Jiang Ruan sensed a crisis and instantly hated her very much.
Cha Cha's ears automatically blocked their conversation and returned to the classroom with a frown. She worried about calling her mom.
Chen Xinyi patted her shoulder before she covered her face with a book. Then she spoke in a low voice, "Chacha, the Head Teacher said that our class will have a transfer student next week."
Cha Cha laid on the table, feeling listless, “Oh."
Chen Xinyi said, “I heard that it’s a girl and she studies very well."
Cha Cha said, "Don't worry, no one can surpass Shen Zhi."
Chen Xinyi saw her decadent expression and asked curiously, “What's wrong with you?"
Chacha said miserably, “Wooooo, the teacher wants to call over my mom." Then added, “Why don't these teachers have any other tricks besides calling the parents?"
Chen Xinyi patted her head, "So pitiful."
Forget it, Chacha had a few hundred dollars in her piggy bank. It should be enough to invite someone to act as her parent.
After school, Cha Cha returned home in despair. She took off her shoes and put down her schoolbag, then meekly spoke, "Mom, I'm back."
She stepped on the floor wearing her bear-printed socks, "Mom, I want to eat fish tonight..."
The rest of her words were swallowed back into her throat.
Chacha looked at the strange man in the living room. She was too small and needed to lift her neck to see his face. She was stunned, "Hey, did I go to the wrong house?"
※※※※※※※※※
Chacha: Sorry, I'm sorry to disturb you by going to the wrong set!
Jiang Chengzhou: My daughter, my QAQ

TN:
Chacha is so funny hahaha love her
