Psst! We're moving!
Chi Suisui froze for a moment before her lips curled into a smile.
“If you want me to call you, just say so,” she teased, tapping her cheek. “Why bother with hints? This isn’t a reading comprehension test.”
He Xingwang raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
“Call you hubby, hubby hubby.” Chi Suisui slid off him. Since giving birth, she had become more affectionate.
She wrapped her arms around He Xingwang’s neck.
The room suddenly filled with an intimate atmosphere.
Ever since the baby was born, they hadn’t resumed their marital intimacy, and with Zhi Zhi sleeping in their room at night, it was even less likely.
“Ma... Ma...”
As they gazed at each other, little Zhi Zhi on the bed suddenly called out, abandoning her toys to crawl toward them.
Chi Suisui immediately let go of He Xingwang and turned to embrace her daughter. “What did Zhi Zhi just say?”
Nestled in her arms, Zhi Zhi’s round eyes stared at her, silent as if her earlier words were an illusion.
Her tiny mouth revealed newly grown teeth, like grains of rice—white and adorable.
Chi Suisui occasionally liked to touch them, finding them irresistibly cute.
“She’s still learning to talk. It’ll improve over time,” He Xingwang reassured her. “Next month.”
“What if she can’t by next month?” Chi Suisui asked.
“Then the month after that.” He Xingwang saw no issue, easily following her train of thought.
“…”
As the saying goes, babies sit at seven months, crawl at eight, and teethe at nine. But Zhi Zhi was different.
At six months, she could crawl all over the bed. By seven months, she sat steadily and played with toys, already starting to grow teeth.
When it came to speaking, perhaps to prove herself or because her first word was “Daddy,” two months later, she began frequently calling out “Mommy.”
Whenever she saw Chi Suisui, she beamed and called out nonstop.
Chi Suisui used to find unruly children annoying, unwilling to deal with them. But with Zhi Zhi, her entire heart was devoted to her.
Before revealing the baby’s gender, online speculation leaned heavily toward a boy, given the two powerful families involved.
Discovering it was a girl was a slap in the face for those assumptions.
After Zhi Zhi turned eight months old, she began sleeping in her own room, accompanied by an auntie at night, no longer in the master bedroom.
During these months, Chi Suisui and He Xingwang’s lives became quite subdued.
Once Zhi Zhi was taken back to her room, the couple naturally reignited their passion. The leisurely days Chi Suisui had enjoyed were gone.
After all, a man who had abstained for so long couldn’t be restrained.
At first, Chi Suisui could match him, even teasing him a bit. But eventually, she couldn’t keep up, melting into a puddle.
Now, her faint milky scent lingered, and the parts of her body meant to gain weight had grown slightly fuller than before, constantly tempting He Xingwang.
Of course, the result was Chi Suisui sleeping like the dead the next day.
Fortunately, He Xingwang still knew to be mindful of her well-being, exercising restraint. At most, they’d wait two to three days between sessions, allowing Chi Suisui to breathe a sigh of relief.
Afterward, lying in bed, she moaned, “How am I supposed to work tomorrow?”
“Taking a day off won’t hurt,” He Xingwang replied, his voice still hoarse, like gravel wrapped in silk—undeniably sexy.
“You make it sound so simple,” Chi Suisui muttered, intending to glare at him but too exhausted to move. Instead, she ignored him and fell asleep.
With such exertion, sleep came quickly.
He Xingwang listened as her breathing soon faded into a steady rhythm. Closing his eyes, he drifted off as well.
________________________________________
As Zhi Zhi grew day by day, her features blossomed.
Her formal name was He Zhiwei, but everyone had grown accustomed to calling her Zhi Zhi or Zhi Bao. Even Zhi Bao herself referred to herself this way, always prefacing her sentences with “Zhi Zhi” or “Zhi Bao.”
“Zhi Zhi ate two bowls of rice today.”
“Zhi Bao was very well-behaved today.”
Every time she spoke like this, everyone couldn’t help but chuckle.
When Zhi Zhi misbehaved, Chi Suisui would call her by her full name: “He Zhiwei, are you still eating?”
Zhi Zhi would obediently sit down.
During Qi Churui’s vacations, he often visited. Zhi Zhi’s love for beauty began showing early on, favoring this handsome uncle.
Whenever he came, Zhi Zhi clung to him like glue.
At lunch, she refused to sit in her chair, insisting on sitting on Qi Churui’s lap, cooing sweetly, “I don’t want any of you.”
Chi Suisui asked, “Then what do you want?”
Zhi Zhi covered her face, peeking out with her big, grape-like eyes. “I want Uncle to feed me!”
Even at such a young age, she knew how to be shy.
“All you do is cling to your uncle,” Chi Suisui teased. “Why don’t you just go live with him and skip coming home?”
Zhi Zhi uncovered her face. “I love Mommy the most.”
Qi Churui’s heart melted. He pinched her chubby cheeks, neglecting his own meal to feed her bite by bite.
Chi Suisui warned, “Don’t spoil her too much. No one will be able to handle her later.”
Zhi Zhi, now aware of the meaning behind the words, puffed out her chest and promised, “Zhi Zhi will be very good!”
Qi Churui nodded in agreement.
Chi Suisui was amused by these two—they were truly precious.
After turning two, Zhi Zhi’s abilities became evident. She surpassed her peers in both speech and cognition. In short, she was a little prodigy.
Chi Suisui was astonished. “How is my daughter so smart?”
He Xingwang sat there, flipping through the latest newspaper, and responded seriously, “If she weren’t smart, that would be the problem.”
“Little He, you’re getting a bit arrogant.”
No sooner had Chi Suisui spoken than Zhi Zhi, freshly awakened from her nap, descended the stairs with the nanny. Holding onto the railing, she shuffled down step by step.
Her little legs struggled with the stairs, taking forever to descend a single step.
A journey that should have taken seconds stretched into five minutes.
Once on flat ground, she ran excitedly, her shoes making a “tap tap tap” sound against the floor.
“Daddy, Mommy.”
Zhi Zhi’s hair had grown longer. Chi Suisui styled it differently every day, creating countless hairstyles. The house was filled with hair clips.
This bright and clever two-year-old hugged Chi Suisui’s leg, pointing to her hair. “Hair, hair.”
Zhi Zhi was quite vain.
If the nanny didn’t style her hair nicely, she’d wake up with her hair loose, wrinkling her little nose until she felt properly dressed.
Her hair bounced with every movement, soft and adorable—an irresistible sight.
As Chi Suisui tied two buns atop her head, she said, “Zhi Bao, soon you’ll start school.”
“Will Daddy go with me?” Zhi Zhi asked with wide eyes.
“You’ll go alone,” He Xingwang put down his newspaper, shattering her fantasy.
He expected Zhi Zhi to be upset, but instead, she burst into laughter, secretly delighted.
Chi Suisui raised an eyebrow. “Your daughter doesn’t need you anymore.”
He Xingwang: “...”
Zhi Zhi quickly added, her voice sweet and sticky, “Not true.”
Satisfied with her hairstyle, she walked over to He Xingwang, climbed onto his lap, and snuggled into his embrace—a sight so heartwarming it made one’s heart flutter.
“When will Zhi Bao start school?” she finally couldn’t resist asking.
“In two months,” Chi Suisui replied.
There was no need to search far; Zhi Zhi would attend the best kindergarten in Nancheng. From the school to the teachers, everything was top-notch.
Zhi Zhi quietly cheered.
Afraid her excitement might show, she quickly covered her mouth, pretending nothing had happened.
He Xingwang’s lips curved upward.
This daughter of theirs was truly a clever little imp.
________________________________________
On the day of enrollment, it was He Xingwang who took Zhi Zhi to school.
Chi Suisui had something to attend to, leaving him to handle it. Outside the kindergarten during the enrollment season, luxury cars lined up, subtly competing with one another.
In contrast, He Xingwang remained unusually low-key, not wanting the outside world to know which school his daughter attended.
But paparazzi were everywhere.
That day, Zhi Zhi wore a dress, little leather shoes, and a small crown gifted by Song Miaoli—blinging and sparkling.
She looked like a little princess.
In the brief moment He Xingwang stepped out of the car holding Zhi Zhi, they were photographed. The snow-white, adorable Zhi Zhi clung to his neck, munching on candy.
The reporters dared not offend the He Corporation and ultimately blurred the photo heavily.
[God He taking his child to school is something I never imagined.]
[What’s wrong with being a doting dad?]
[If I were God He, I’d hold Zhi Zhi close too. Even through the mosaic, I can tell how cute she is.]
[Upstairs, your eyesight is impressive.]
Netizens buzzed about the photo for hours, but He Xingwang had already taken Zhi Zhi inside and handed her over to the teacher.
Zhi Zhi was in the toddler class. Most of the other children either clung to their parents or sat crying loudly.
By comparison, she stood out like a crane among chickens.
Some kids, upon seeing such a pretty Zhi Zhi, forgot their tears and tugged at their parents’ clothes, clamoring to meet the lovely little girl.
Seeing the expressionless He Xingwang nearby, the parents quickly whisked their children away.
He Xingwang crouched down and softly instructed her, “Don’t be naughty at school. If anything bad happens, call me, okay?”
Zhi Zhi kissed him on the cheek. “Okay!”
He Xingwang glanced around the classroom. “If boys talk to you, what will you do?”
Zhi Zhi answered quickly, “Ignore them.”
He Xingwang smiled. “Not ignore—just keep some distance while talking.”
Zhi Zhi pinched her ears. “Zhi Zhi understands.”
The classroom was noisy. When the teacher entered and saw him, she hurriedly greeted, “Mr. He.”
Turning to Zhi Zhi, she asked, “So this is Zhi Zhi?”
Zhi Zhi politely replied, “Hello, teacher.”
The teacher was pleasantly surprised. Having such a well-behaved child in the toddler class was rare. She had been nervous all night upon hearing she’d be teaching God He’s child, fearing problems.
He Xingwang’s tone was calm. “Thank you for your trouble, teacher.”
The teacher smiled gently. “It’s my duty.”
With many parents present, He Xingwang left, and the teacher moved on to speak with others, leaving Zhi Zhi alone.
Unable to sit still, Zhi Zhi wandered around the classroom, feeling exasperated by her crying classmates.
Seizing a moment when the teacher wasn’t looking, she slipped out to explore other classrooms.
The kindergarten had older classes. After wandering the corridors for a while, Zhi Zhi discovered a classroom.
Though noisy, it held a handsome older boy.
Peering through the window, she stared intently at him before boldly pushing the door open. Grabbing a small stool, she plopped down beside him.
The handsome boy glanced at her.
Only then did Zhi Zhi notice his blue eyes, like glass marbles. Unable to resist, she blurted, “Pretty brother, what are you reading?”
Leaning closer, she saw a page of English.
Chi Suisui hadn’t intentionally taught Zhi Zhi bilingual skills or enrolled her in early education—she wanted her childhood to be fun.
So when Zhi Zhi saw the English on the page, her first reaction was to treat it like pinyin, but she couldn’t decipher it. Puffing her cheeks, she frowned in frustration.
Shifting on her seat, she cupped her face and asked, “Why aren’t you talking to me? Isn’t Zhi Zhi cute?”
Even Song Auntie wanted to sneak her home because she was so adorable.
The handsome boy’s hair was black, his bangs soft and hanging over his forehead.
“Are you reading a fairy tale book?”
“What’s your name?”
Zhi Zhi rambled on, occasionally catching a glimpse of those beautiful blue eyes before he returned to his book.
Receiving no response, she quickly changed tactics. “Pretty younger brother—”
“You talk too much.”
Zhi Zhi found his voice enchanting. “You’re speaking!”
Just then, the teacher entered, spotting the unfamiliar little girl. Gently, she asked, “Little one, which class are you in?”
Zhi Zhi replied, “I’m in this class.”
Teacher: “...”
She tried another question. “How long have you been attending school?”
Still in her baby voice, Zhi Zhi answered, “Zhi Zhi has been in school for a year.”
Beside her came a light laugh.
Zhi Zhi quickly turned her head to see the handsome boy’s lips curve slightly—he looked stunning. She giggled along.
The teacher understood the situation.
“Liang Yan, help me keep an eye on this little student,” the teacher instructed. “I’ll come back to take her away later.”
Liang Yan silently nodded.
Unable to determine Zhi Zhi’s age, the teacher could only guess and inquire with other teachers outside. Thankfully, the clue “her name is Zhi Zhi” helped.
When the toddler class teacher arrived, Zhi Zhi was sprawled on the table, chattering nonstop. “Brother Liang Yan, why are your eyes blue? Mine are black. I know—you secretly dyed your eyes, right?”
She pointed to her hair. “Like dyeing hair.”
Looking like a miniature adult.
Liang Yan closed his book and asked, “After all that talking, are you thirsty?”
Zhi Zhi shook her head, then nodded. “Thirsty.”
Liang Yan poured her a glass of water. The little girl sat on the chair, her feet dangling, swinging her legs as she sipped slowly from the cup lid.
When the toddler class teacher arrived, Zhi Zhi refused to leave.
Fearing trouble, the teacher hesitated. Finally, Liang Yan spoke slowly, “Teacher, let her stay here.”
“Are you sure?” the teacher asked.
Liang Yan nodded. “I’ll look after her.”
Zhi Zhi bobbed her head like a pecking chick. “Zhi Bao will be looked after.”
In truth, there was no need for supervision—wherever he went, Zhi Zhi followed. This little girl who had suddenly latched onto him seemed determined to stick around.
When Chi Suisui arrived to pick her up in the evening, her daughter had already settled into the older class, nodding along to the lesson.
After school, Zhi Zhi happily bid farewell to Liang Yan.
Chi Suisui glanced at the boy’s strikingly handsome face, then at her daughter’s bright, starry-eyed gaze.
Zhi Zhi chirped, “Mommy.”
Chi Suisui hummed, “What is it?”
Zhi Zhi whispered, “I want to dye my eyes green.”
That way, she could have uniquely colored eyes like her handsome brother, different from everyone else’s.
“...?”
Chi Suisui replied, “Why not dye your hair green instead?”
