“This Zhou Miao is really not bad. She doesn’t seem to come from a humble family. She has good taste.”

“That’s right. Previously, that Yu Ying only cared about attracting other people’s attention. She didn’t know any manners.”

“That’s right. The first time Yu Ying came here, she only cared about how she dressed. She even made a mistake in table manners.”

“I thought that since they were a family, the younger sister wouldn’t be any better. But this younger sister is really different.”

When Zhou Miao heard such words, she simply smiled slightly. Her mind was filled with tonight’s mission.

Mother Cheng was very happy today and said a lot on the way back.

Zhou Miao also asked about Cheng Heng and Bai Yue.

“Little Yue couldn’t see because his brain was injured while he was trying to save Cheng Heng. When we arrived at the hospital, the child was already… sigh.” Mother Cheng felt very regretful.

“It’s a pity for that child. He should have had a bright future. Cheng Heng, this child…” Mother Cheng sighed. “It’s been hard on you taking care of him. He has been plagued with illness and disasters for his whole life. Sometimes, I think that if I had hired a private tutor for him at home after that incident in the second year of junior high, then there wouldn’t have been so many things happening later.”

“What happened in the second year of junior high?” Zhou Miao was a little puzzled.

When Zhou Miao reached home, it was already 12 am.

Cheng Heng had just finished taking a shower and walked out in his pajamas. There was a bath towel on his head, and water was dripping down his hair.

“Why didn’t you dry your own hair?” Zhou Miao stood up and reached out to help him dry his wet hair.

He was very tall, about a head taller than Zhou Miao. At this moment, he was obediently bending over and letting Zhou Miao dry his hair.

The grown-up Cheng Heng was tall, and his body frame was also big. When he bent down, the shadow his body cast enveloped Zhou Miao. Zhou Miao had a false impression that the other party was hugging her.

After drying his hair, Cheng Heng obediently lay on the bed. Usually, he would have been asleep by this time, but today Zhou Miao did not know why he was still up waiting. His eyes were wide open, and he was unwilling to sleep.

“What’s wrong?” Zhou Miao asked.

Cheng Heng pointed at his ear. “Touch it again…”

“Are you going to sleep after I touch it?”

Cheng Heng nodded obediently.

Zhou Miao’s heart seemed to be filled with gentleness. Based on Cheng Heng’s previous daily habits, everything was done seamlessly, and what should be done at each time period was regulated.

However, now, she had become his exception.

Zhou Miao reached out to touch his ears. His ears turned red, and the expression above his head turned into a smiley face.

Cheng Heng’s wish was fulfilled. He obediently closed his eyes and fell asleep with the little bear in his arms.

The noisy crowd and the middle school students in uniform bustled through the small alleys.

This location was Cirrus City’s Zoo. Zhou Miao had seen it on TV before, and those children in uniforms were the students of Cirrus City’s First High School.

It was probably a spring outing today. The children were carrying their school bags and looking at the various animals in the zoo excitedly.

Zhou Miao looked at the junior high school students passing by her and found Cheng Heng’s figure amongst them.

Cheng Heng was in the last row of the line, obediently carrying a school bag with a teddy bear hanging on it. He wore a red plaid artist’s cap and held a sketchbook in his hand. The cover was also a red plaid design.

Cheng Heng should be in his second year of high school by now. Boys at this age were lanky, and they had already started to grow tall. Zhou Miao stood behind him and measured with her hands.

Now, Cheng Heng was only three or four centimeters shorter than her. Next time, he would be taller than her.

Zhou Miao suddenly had the thought of teasing him. She patted Cheng Heng’s shoulder lightly, and then when Cheng Heng turned his head, she dodged to one side so that he could not see her.

When Cheng Heng felt the pat, he only turned his head back and smiled slightly. The second time he was patted, he opened his mouth. “Sister Angel.”

“You’ve found me!”

“Yes.” Cheng Heng pursed his lips and smiled slightly. Zhou Miao had never seen Little Cheng Heng smile, so when she saw his smile, she could not help but smile slightly too.

Zhou Miao followed the group for a while, and then the teacher announced they were free to do their own things. They were to gather again at the north gate at 6 pm. The crowd dispersed, and Cheng Heng also headed in one direction.

“What are we going to see, Little Heng?” Zhou Miao walked with him.

Cheng Heng didn’t reply and simply walked forward in his own direction, walking and stopping intermittently. He turned his head to look at Zhou Miao, and after confirming that Zhou Miao was still behind him, he continued walking.

“I’m not leaving,” Zhou Miao said.

Cheng Heng led her to the bear exhibit, which was full of adorable bears.
