“I did not see my brother doing his homework, Teacher. I’m sorry to have caused you trouble. I’ll tell Mom when I get home.”

Cheng Tai stood in front of the teacher like a little adult, talking nonsense with a serious face, which made Zhou Miao absolutely furious. This brat, Cheng Tai, harbored evil intentions from such a young age!

The teacher didn’t seem to want to meddle in this matter. He agreed with Cheng Tai’s words and allowed the children to return to their seats.

Cheng Heng had been wronged. He sat in his original seat in a daze. He didn’t say anything and continued to do his own things silently.

Zhou Miao knew that now was not a good time to seek justice, so she sat down silently beside Cheng Heng.

Cheng Heng sat in the corner of the classroom. He didn’t have a desk mate and was placed far away from the other students. During lessons, the teacher wouldn’t look in his direction either.

This class was a language lesson, but Cheng Heng didn’t want to listen. Instead, he sprawled on the desk and drew silently.

There was a little bear in the drawing, and Zhou Miao found it very familiar. She looked down and saw that it was the little bear on his clothes.

Zhou Miao’s heart went all soft, and she said in a low voice by Cheng Heng’s ear, “Little Heng, you must pay attention in class, okay?”

Cheng Heng slowly put away the art book, opened the language textbook on the desk, and seemed to pay attention in class.

The teacher who was writing on the board in the front row turned his head and saw Cheng Heng, who sat up very straight and seemed to be listening attentively. He felt very surprised.

Wasn’t this child not interested in his lessons?

Zhou Miao stayed in the classroom the whole day and finally thought of a way to help Cheng Heng.

She could touch Cheng Heng’s hand, so she could grab his hand and write a note to his mother so as to alert her to deal with this matter.

At night, Cheng Heng and Cheng Tai were doing homework together.

Cheng Tai quickly finished his homework and went out to play, while Cheng Heng remained sitting in the same place, drawing.

Zhou Miao saw Cheng Tai leave and stood beside Cheng Heng, saying, “Little Heng, let’s write a note for Mommy, so she will know that our homework was taken away by those naughty kids.”

Cheng Heng stared blankly as if he did not know what had happened. He allowed Zhou Miao to grab his hand and write a paragraph on the paper.

The gist of the paragraph was that Cheng Heng’s homework had been switched by two naughty kids today, yet Cheng Tai said that Cheng Heng didn’t do his homework.

The note was written in a crooked manner. Zhou Miao grabbed Cheng Heng’s hand to tear the note off, preparing to go out and give it to Mother Cheng.

Just then, Cheng Tai, who had gone out to play, stood at the door and blocked Cheng Heng’s way. He asked with ill intentions, “What is Little Brother going to do? What’s that note in your hand? Can I take a look?”

“Little Heng, hide the note and don’t show it to Big Brother.” Zhou Miao instructed from the side.

Cheng Heng obediently put his hands behind his back and took a step back from Cheng Tai.

Cheng Tai looked at Cheng Heng, his eyes flashing with a malicious glint. “Little Heng, why are you keeping secrets from your Big Brother?”

He reached out to snatch the note from Cheng Heng’s hand.

Cheng Heng retreated again and again, refusing to let Cheng Tai see the item in his hand.

Zhou Miao became anxious, but she could not grab Cheng Heng’s hand and beat up Cheng Tai.

Cheng Tai had already snatched away the item in Cheng Heng’s hand. He was looking at it with a malicious glint in his eyes.

“Little Heng, when did you learn to rat on people?” He reached out and was about to tear up the note in his hand.

Zhou Miao reached out and knocked over a vase on the table. The sound of the vase shattering made Zhou Miao a little puzzled. How was she able to touch things now?

However, before she could think further, Mother Cheng, who was in the living room next door, had already rushed over.

Cheng Tai froze on the spot, the half-torn note still in his hand. Cheng Heng stared blankly at some unknown spot.

Cheng Tai hid the other half of the note in his hand behind his back. It contained the part which said that he had framed Cheng Heng.

“Mom, I was trying to read what Little Brother wrote just now, but I accidentally touched the vase.” Cheng Tai handed the other half of the note to his mother with a calm expression.

Mother Cheng’s eyes became stern as she read the contents of the note.

She called the servant to sweep up the broken pieces on the floor and went out.

She probably went to look for Cheng Heng’s teacher.

Cheng Heng still didn’t quite understand what had happened and simply did his own things.

Zhou Miao thought that she would immediately return to her original time and space, but she did not. When she woke up from the sofa in Little Cheng Heng’s bedroom, Little Cheng Heng had already packed his things and was ready to go to school.

What was going on? Was the matter not resolved?

Zhou Miao followed Cheng Heng to school.

The two mischievous little boys had been transferred to another class, and the teacher had also clarified the matter in class to exonerate Cheng Heng.

An ordinary child would jump with joy when he encountered this kind of thing, but Cheng Heng still had a blank look.

Zhou Miao looked at Cheng Heng, wondering when this mission would be completed.
