The next morning
Chi Zaozao knew that Jin Chengzhi was coming to pick her up, so she got up very early.
Yet, even so early, Ye Que had already stepped out before her.
Chi Zaozao felt somewhat disheartened, skipped breakfast altogether, said a quick word to her parents, and then headed to school.
Just as she reached the gate of Yujing Garden, she saw Jin Chengzhi.
She had heard him say before that he would come to pick her up, assuming he might take a taxi or drive himself, but she never expected…
He was on a bicycle.
However, a bicycle was not bad either.
She walked over, greeted Jin Chengzhi with a beaming smile, "Hi, senior."
The man turned around, saw Chi Zaozao hopping and running towards him, looking utterly joyful.
The man, who never smiled, found himself breaking into a smile at the sight of her at this moment.
That smile, like sunlight breaking through on a winter's day, was warm and heartening.
