《The Eloping Female Supporting Character Transmigrates and Changes Her Fate!》 Chapter 1 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation When she woke up in the chaotic hotel room, she was greeted by all kinds of wine bottles and the terrible appearance of the woman in the mirror. Her hair was a mess, and her skin was dull. Her big, unfocused eyes reflected a look of exhaustion, while her dark circles were practically dropping off her face. Her whole body was shriveled like a withered flower. When she unlocked the phone¡¯s screen, the girl on the screen had the same facial features as the girl in the mirror, but she was exuding a noble air with a pampered look. Zhou Miao sat in front of the mirror, combing her hair as she sighed. Her hair, which was initially as luscious as seaweed, was now yellowed and full of split ends. It remained tangled no matter how much she combed it. It seemed that the life of the original owner was really terrible now. This initially beautiful face was now like a bright pearl covered in dust, becoming a broken stone without any attraction. The phone rang, and it was the Cheng family¡¯s housekeeper. Her anxious voice on the other end rang out, ¡°Second Young Mistress, come to the hospital quickly! Second Young Master is acting up again!¡± She sighed, went downstairs, and took a cab to the hospital. Several doctors had to work together to restrain the tall man on the bed. If Mother Cheng weren¡¯t present, these doctors would have restrained Cheng Heng, who had gone berserk, with belts. ¡°Did you get through to Zhou Miao¡¯s phone? Did you find her?¡± Mother Cheng paced back and forth in the room, watching Cheng Heng go crazy in the room with a very anxious expression. ¡°Miss Zhou is already on her way. Madam, don¡¯t worry¡­¡± The housekeeper comforted Mother Cheng. ¡°Huh? Second Young Mistress?¡± Based on the original owner¡¯s memory, Zhou Miao successfully recognized Mother Cheng, who was standing outside the ward in a gloomy mood, and the man who kept struggling in the patient¡¯s room. He was even using his body to hit the bed¡¯s headboard. That man was Zhou Miao¡¯s husband, Cheng Heng. He broke free from the doctors like a madman, without any heed to his hands that had turned red from knocking on the bed frame. According to the original owner¡¯s memory, the Second Young Master of the Cheng family suffered from nonverbal autism since he was a child, accompanied by severe loss of pain sensation. A year ago, Cheng Heng had disappeared once. When he returned after his disappearance, his autism degenerated into a more severe form, whereby he had a tendency to hurt others and himself, which was quite dangerous. The reason such a beautiful woman like the original owner married such a dangerous and autistic person was that he had no interest in anything in the world except the female original owner. And the Cheng family loved Cheng Heng dearly. As long as it could bring a slight fluctuation to Cheng Heng¡¯s world, they would even pluck the stars in the sky for him, not to mention a mere woman. And the original owner was forced to marry Cheng Heng. Of course, she was extremely unwilling, so she cheated on her husband and ran away from the marriage. The outcome was, of course, extremely tragic. Zhou Miao took a deep breath and walked into the patient¡¯s room under Mother Cheng¡¯s expectant gaze. Zhou Miao¡¯s arrival was like a tranquilizer. The moment Cheng Heng saw Zhou Miao, he quieted down and obediently lay back on the hospital bed, his eyes fixed on Zhou Miao. In Zhou Miao¡¯s memories, the first time the original owner met Cheng Heng, Cheng Heng used this kind of gaze to stare at her. It was also because of this that Mother Cheng thought that Cheng Heng liked Zhou Miao. Zhou Miao walked toward Cheng Heng. Cheng Heng, who had calmed down, looked like a normal person, a rather handsome one too. Zhou Miao looked at him and reached out tentatively to tug at his hand. Cheng Heng¡¯s hand was very big, almost twice the size of Zhou Miao¡¯s. His palm was a little hot from the struggle just now, but his fingertips were icy cold. Zhou Miao held his hand tightly, gently comforting him. The moment she touched Cheng Heng¡¯s hand, a small window popped out of Cheng Heng¡¯s head, and there was a crying emoji inside. Zhou Miao looked at that emoji and was even more confused. Was this some kind of novel design? [Hey, Master!] A small round-faced hamster was perched on the window sill, looking extremely cute. [Do you see the emotion monitor? The expression displayed there represents Cheng Heng¡¯s current mood.] Zhou Miao looked around. It seemed that the other people couldn¡¯t see the emotion monitor, nor could they see the hamster that was talking. [Don¡¯t worry! Only you can hear me!] The hamster jumped down from the window and waved at Zhou Miao. [These expressions represent Cheng Heng¡¯s current mood. Like this one, it means that he is very sad. When he is happy, he will show a smiley face.] [The smiley face is different from other expressions. It can be exchanged for Good Luck Points.] Good Luck Points? [That¡¯s right. Your good luck in this world right now is 0, so your appearance and condition are terrible. This is because the female host¡¯s sister, Yu Ying, took away your luck here. Due to the loss of luck, your health points are now at their lowest level.] Could it be that she had gone to hell right after she transmigrated? [Actually, you¡¯ve already died once from alcohol poisoning in the hotel. If your luck is still 0 for the next three days, then you¡¯ll lose your life after three days.] Three days? Zhou Miao was screaming madly in her heart. Three days! She might only have three days left to live. [Is there any way for me to survive?] Zhou Miao asked in her heart tentatively. [You will be fine as long as you can get a smiley face! One smileyface corresponds to one Good Luck Point!] [As long as I get a smiley face, I can live and revert to my original appearance?] [That¡¯s right, Master. Besides letting you live, smiley faces can also help you treat Cheng Heng¡¯s illness.] It seemed that as long as she could make Cheng Heng happy, not only would she be able to live, but she could also revert to her original beautiful, vibrant appearance. It was good as long as there was a solution. Zhou Miao asked the hamster to hide first, then turned to the doctor next to her. ¡°Is there anything unusual today?¡± ¡°There was nothing unusual today. We were just doing a routine examination. We didn¡¯t know why the patient suddenly started to go crazy. We were also very surprised¡­¡± Zhou Miao surveyed the patient¡¯s room. It was the most luxurious room in the sanatorium. There was a large square outside. As it was Children¡¯s Day, there were pigeons being released outside right now. Zhou Miao drew the curtains shut so that Cheng Heng wouldn¡¯t be able to see the pigeons flying past the window from time to time in the room. Sure enough, Cheng Heng gradually relaxed, and the expression on the window on his head also became somewhat calm and dazed-looking. Chapter 2 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Mother Cheng heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this scene. She was also very relieved that Zhou Miao could come over today. After all, her daughter-in-law had always despised Cheng Heng. Although Mother Cheng knew that no one would be willing to live with a violent autistic person, she still hoped for a miracle. When Cheng Heng¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Miao, the spark of hope lit up in Mother Cheng¡¯s heart. Initially, because of Zhou Miao¡¯s indifference, the spark in Mother Cheng¡¯s heart had disappeared, but now it seemed that the miracle she had been looking forward to had appeared again. After the routine examination, the doctor gave some simple instructions, which were still the same precautions issued earlier. Cheng Heng¡¯s illness did not improve or worsen, but if it worsened, there was no way to reverse it. Zhou Miao sighed. It sounded like there was still hope. After that, Zhou Miao accompanied Mother Cheng and Cheng Heng back home. As soon as he got home, Cheng Heng sat next to the coffee table in the living room and began playing Sudoku. Zhou Miao was not interested in these things related to numbers. Simply looking at these things gave her a headache. However, she thought that since these were things that Cheng Heng liked, she sat down beside him and did the puzzle with him. Cheng Heng was very good-looking. He was not as handsome as those young movie stars with sharp brows and bright eyes, but he had a kind of simple and innocent good looks. A handful of diamond fragments seemed to be sprinkled inside his slender eyes. His nose and mouth were very delicate, and his jawline was well-defined. When he lowered his head to fill in the numbers, his fringe fell down to cover his eyes, and his eyelashes drooped down. He pursed his lips in deep thought, exuding a vague sense of youthfulness. If it weren¡¯t for his autism, he would probably be a man who would make girls¡¯ hearts flutter. When Zhou Miao thought of how great the pressure of her task was, she began to guide Cheng Heng in a pretentious display. ¡°This place is a three¡­¡± Cheng Heng glanced at Zhou Miao, his eyes somewhat reproachful as if saying, ¡°Stupid. Cheating.¡± Zhou Miao awkwardly closed the page showing the Sudoku results she had just found and quietly sat by Cheng Heng¡¯s side. During this period, she searched for details about Cheng Heng in the original owner¡¯s memory, but there was nothing in the original owner¡¯s memory except for her dislike for Cheng Heng. What Cheng Heng liked to eat, what he liked to play¡­ everything was a blank. Her memories of Cheng Heng comprised only fragmented and unclear bits and pieces. Zhou Miao held her forehead. It seemed like making this youngster happy would be a big problem. While Zhou Miao was in deep thought, Cheng Heng had already completed the Sudoku puzzle and was looking at her. ¡°You¡¯re done. Can you give me a smile?¡± Zhou Miao looked at Cheng Heng tentatively and gave him a big smile. The frame above Cheng Heng¡¯s head still showed the same dazed expression without any change. He said slowly, ¡°Go upstairs¡­¡± Zhou Miao led Cheng Heng upstairs. Cheng Heng started to write and draw on the computer in his study. Zhou Miao decided to go and look for other clues. As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Yu Ying coming upstairs. As soon as the other party saw her, she broke into a warm and beautiful smile immediately. ¡°Miaomiao, you¡¯re finally back.¡± Her smile seemed to be dipped in poison, and the longevity locket on a red thread dandling on her chest looked strange and terrifying. It did not look like the kind of jewelry that people her age would wear. Zhou Miao searched for information about Yu Ying in her host¡¯s memory. Yu Ying was the child of the host¡¯s aunt and, therefore, the host¡¯s cousin. After the host¡¯s parents passed away, the host lived with her aunt and the others. In fact, Yu Ying was now the original owner¡¯s sister-in-law. She married Cheng Heng¡¯s older brother, Cheng Tai. Yu Ying didn¡¯t look like this before. She was just a little prettier than ordinary people. However, Yu Ying¡¯s face was very exquisite now, like a female movie star. She had delicate eyes and a petite nose. The beauty mole in the middle of her cheek further ramped up her beauty factor tremendously. In addition to these, there was also a faint rose scent on her body. It was not like perfume but more like a body fragrance. Thinking about it carefully, Zhou Miao recalled from her memory that the original owner¡¯s appearance gradually became uglier as Yu Ying¡¯s appearance became nicer. Zhou Miao looked at her carefully, wondering if Yu Ying¡¯s change was related to the Good Luck Points the system mentioned. ¡°Miaomiao, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you staring at me?¡± Yu Ying chuckled softly. When she smiled, she squinted her eyes until they looked like wisps of silk. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just felt that your face looked fake.¡± Zhou Miao opened her mouth and said in a probing manner. Yu Ying was stunned for a moment, but then she recovered and smiled warmly. ¡°Sister, you must be really mad with Brother-in-law. It¡¯s okay. I know it¡¯s not easy for you. I have an event to attend tomorrow. Why don¡¯t you come with me¡­¡± Zhou Miao looked at her coldly. ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to see your hypocritical face.¡± Yu Ying heard that Zhou Miao¡¯s tone wasn¡¯t very friendly, so she just smiled. ¡°You must be tired from taking care of Brother-in-law today. Go to bed early.¡± She left after saying that. Zhou Miao noticed that when Yu Ying left, she put the longevity locket on her neck into her clothes unnaturally. [System, system, is there a problem with that longevity locket? Is my luck points related to my appearance?] Zhou Miao called out to the system hamster in her heart. [Master, you¡¯re right. That longevity locket locked Master¡¯s luck points to Yu Ying. In fact, all of that belongs to Master, and Good Luck Points are related to appearance.] [Does that mean I can get my looks back if I get my Good Luck Points back?] Zhou Miao asked. [Yes, and a smiley face can restore 1% of your Good Luck Points and 1% of your appearance. Moreover, these Good Luck Points originally belonged to you, so Yu Ying won¡¯t be able to snatch them away again.] Zhou Miao thought for a moment. The most important thing now was to get her Good Luck Points back. Not only did she have to keep herself alive, but she also had to get back her appearance. Pushing open the bedroom door, Zhou Miao saw that Cheng Heng had already changed into red plaid pajamas. He was sitting on the edge of the bed holding a bear plush toy, looking at the other side in a daze, and the expression on his head was a big crying face. Zhou Miao followed his gaze. There was a small bed on the other side of the bedroom, and there was a neatly folded blue silk nightdress on the bed. It seemed that the original owner had not slept with Cheng Heng on the same bed previously. So Cheng Heng was angry now that she didn¡¯t bring him to bed? Zhou Miao took a deep breath and sat beside Cheng Heng. Cheng Heng turned his head to look at her. Zhou Miao held her breath nervously as she raised her head to look at the emoji box above Cheng Heng¡¯s head. Chapter 3 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The angry face in the emoji box flipped and turned into a dull and expressionless face. Zhou Miao felt discouraged immediately. What? They were going to sleep together, and this youngster still wasn¡¯t happy? ¡°Pajamas¡­¡± Cheng Heng slowly opened his mouth. Cheng Heng¡¯s voice was actually quite alluring to her ears. It was low and slightly hoarse. If it were in the world before Zhou Miao transmigrated, he would definitely have no problems being a voice streamer. Zhou Miao looked at the blue nightdress on the bed and understood what he meant. Autistic people generally had some obsessive-compulsive disorders, such as liking clothes with specific patterns, dividing up their own territory and not allowing others to invade, or compelling people around them to follow a certain order. Zhou Miao looked at herself in the mirror. A blue plaid nightdress. It seemed that the rule that Cheng Heng wanted others to follow was to wear clothes with plaid patterns? Could I get a smiley face if I follow this rule? Of course not. Walking out of the bathroom, Cheng Heng looked at Zhou Miao in a daze, and the expression above his head still had not changed. Zhou Miao heaved a deep sigh. It seemed that this youngster was indeed not easy to serve. Zhou Miao lay down on the bed, but Cheng Heng was still sitting on the edge of the bed. Zhou Miao, who was already exhausted after a busy day, became even more tired. She gave Cheng Heng a kick with her foot. ¡°Are you going to sleep?¡± Cheng Heng looked at Zhou Miao but did not say anything. However, an angry expression appeared on the blank face in the emoji box. Zhou Miao couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. She kicked him again. ¡°If you¡¯re not sleeping, I¡¯m sleeping.¡± Cheng Heng was still unmoved. Zhou Miao pursed her lips. ¡°Please yourself.¡± She turned around and closed her eyes. There were still two days left. She had to get a good rest to get her spirits up and make good use of these two days to let herself survive! Zhou Miao did not see that long after she fell asleep, Cheng Heng also slowly lay down beside her while hugging the bear plush toy. His beautiful eyes were like a handful of scattered gemstones in the night. He stiffly reached out to touch a specific part of Zhou Miao¡¯s face. The expressionless face in the emoji box above his head seemed to be on the verge of curving up the corners of its mouth, but the moment he touched her, it suddenly stopped and turned back into an angry face. When Zhou Jing woke up, it was already ten in the morning. She opened the bathroom door in a groggy state and stood in front of the basin, looking for a towel and toothbrush. Plop! The soft sound of clothes dropping to the ground scared her. She turned around and saw a pile of purple plaid sportswear on the floor. Cheng Heng, who was topless, stood in the middle of the clothes. His attractive torso and abdominal muscles were exposed in the open, like a piece of white chocolate. Before transmigrating, Zhou Miao had also seen many men with good figures, but Cheng Heng was different from those men who were full of muscles. His body had the slender feel of a teenager. His muscles were not very big, but the silhouette was very attractive. Zhou Miao¡¯s face turned red. What kind of extraordinary creature did she sleep next to last night? Cheng Heng didn¡¯t say anything. He just glanced at her indifferently and took off his sweatpants without paying any heed to her. Before the sweatpants fell to the ground, he carefully took the hamster brooch off his sweatpants and placed it on the bathroom shelf. Zhou Miao felt like she was burning up. Why was this man taking off his clothes in front of her? His legs were also very alluring, with a sickly pale color. His ankles were thin, but his thigh muscles looked very strong. Zhou Miao quickly glanced at it. The size of that thing was even more¡­ Zhou Miao quickly turned around and brushed her teeth, staring straight at the mirror. What was he doing? In a spot where Zhou Miao could not see, a faint blush appeared on Cheng Heng¡¯s dazed expression. The breakfast at the Cheng family was very sumptuous. The table was filled with porridge, side dishes, and exquisite snacks. However, the strange thing was that all the snacks were made into cute animal shapes. The pink piglet was a red bean bun, and the golden chicken was a walnut bun. Cheng Heng quietly held the duck-shaped barbecued pork bun and nibbled on it. ¡°Mother, we are having breakfast so late?¡± Seeing Mother Cheng sitting at the dining table, Zhou Miao greeted her. ¡°Yes, Cheng Heng usually goes out for a walk in the morning, and we have breakfast late.¡± Mother Cheng smiled when she saw Zhou Miao. Zhou Miao was now willing to eat with Cheng Heng. It seemed that she wouldn¡¯t have to worry so much in the future. Zhou Miao sat in her seat and looked at the table of cute animal desserts. A bold idea suddenly appeared in her mind. ¡°Mother, does Cheng Heng like small animals?¡± ¡°Yes, Little Heng has liked these little animals since he was a child. He also likes animal toys. It¡¯s a little bit embarrassing.¡± ¡°So he likes small animals?¡± Zhou Miao rested her chin on her hand and a new idea formed in her mind. ¡°Second Young Mistress, let me take care of such matters. You should go and rest first.¡± The housekeeper at the side was a little worried as she watched Zhou Miao busy herself with the flour dough and red bean paste. Chapter 4 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The Second Young Mistress had not stayed at home since she married into the family. Now, she was busy in the kitchen like a totally different person. Although the housekeeper was very relieved, she was still afraid that Zhou Miao could not cook and would burn the kitchen down. Zhou Miao ignored the housekeeper¡¯s worry and carefully poured the flour dough into the plate, then wrapped the red bean paste in it before closing the grilling pan. After a while, a few carp-shaped pancakes were ready. The golden color was slightly burnt, and there was a beautiful pattern of a small fish. There was also the faint fragrance of red bean paste. Cheng Heng would definitely like snacks with the shapes of small animals, right? Zhou Jing took the plate to the study on the second floor, where Cheng Heng was currently writing and drawing on the computer. Although Cheng Heng had autism, his grades were good, and he was also very talented in the arts of drawing and photography. Before the incident a year ago, when Cheng Heng¡¯s loss of speech and loss of control were not too noticeable, he could still work in a specific office area in the company. However, now, he could only sit at home and do design work. Cheng Heng¡¯s daily life was also very routine. In the morning, he would take a walk near his home, and after breakfast, he would work in his study at home. In the afternoon, he would have some entertainment, and then at night, he would read a book before sleeping. People with autism were very sensitive to rules. Once something changed the rules in their lives, it could be fatal to them. A white plate was placed on the table. The man at the table was wearing wired headphones, and on the computer screen was a drawing of a sound system in the shape of a clownfish that was almost finished. Cheng Heng ignored Zhou Miao and continued to draw. Zhou Miao saw that he was almost done, so she sat on a stool at the side and looked around the room. The room was so neat that it bordered on obsession. The books on the shelves were arranged according to their numbers and colors, and the collections on the shelves were also neatly arranged with small labels. One of the labels was shining. Zhou Miao squinted her eyes to see clearly, but she still couldn¡¯t see it clearly in the end. [Master, congratulations on discovering a side quest!] The hamster¡¯s cheerful voice rang in her ear. The little hamster sat next to the shiny label, swinging its short legs and gnawing on half a pine nut. A side quest? [The side quest is to travel to the past and change some events, which are beneficial to Cheng Heng¡¯s recovery.] Zhou Miao was delighted to hear that. Wasn¡¯t this a great opportunity? [Give me the side quest now.] [I¡¯m sorry, Master. You have to use a smiley face to exchange for access to the side quest, so you can¡¯t enter for the time being.] Haha! Profiteers! [That¡¯s why Master needs to get hold of a smiley face quickly!] Zhou Miao sat beside Cheng Heng like a deflated rubber ball. Cheng Heng finished drawing and looked at the carp pancakes on the plate. His Adam¡¯s apple twitched. Zhou Miao saw his tiny movements, and she presented the plate to Cheng Heng like she was presenting a treasure. Cheng Heng took a look, picked up a piece of carp pancake, put it in his mouth, and took a bite. Zhou Miao stared at the expression above his head, but that small, dazed face still did not smile. ¡°Why is this young master so hard to please?¡± Zhou Miao suddenly had the urge to flip the table and leave. She grabbed a piece of carp pancake and shoved it into her mouth. As soon as she bit it, the hot red bean paste burned her, making her breathe out frantically. Zhou Miao looked at Cheng Heng, who was eating in big mouthfuls by her side. He had really lost his sense of pain. The pancake was so hot, yet he could still swallow it. She was afraid that he would be scalded and develop a mouthful of blisters later¡­ She grabbed Cheng Heng¡¯s hand and gently blew on the red bean paste that was still steaming under his stunned gaze. Cheng Heng¡¯s gaze was still dazed without any fluctuations. He simply allowed Zhou Miao to blow as she pleased and then let her offer the pancake to his mouth. Cheng Heng took a small bite from her hand, and his wet lips touched Zhou Miao¡¯s fingertips. His ears were slightly pink, and he didn¡¯t quite understand what this meant. He simply lowered his head and continued to nibble gently on the carp pancake. Cheng Heng¡¯s lips touched Zhou Miao¡¯s fingertips more and more often. Zhou Miao also felt that it was strange, so she returned the carp pancake to Cheng Heng¡¯s hands and sat down to continue eating her own piece. [Master! There¡¯s a smiley face!] The hamster¡¯s irritating voice suddenly rang out. In the emoji box above Cheng Heng¡¯s head, a big smiley face appeared, with a faint blush. Did that mean¡­ she survived? In the blue dialog box, the big smiley face was shining like a gold nugget. Oh, God! This was gold! This was a treasure! Zhou Miao almost wanted to kneel down in front of Cheng Heng. This precious smiley face had saved her life. She looked at Cheng Heng, who was sitting at the table and eating the carp pancake quietly. The other party was eating the carp pancake without a word, and there were traces of red bean paste on the corner of his mouth. Could it be because she touched his body? Chapter 5 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation As Zhou Miao thought of this, she gently caressed the corner of Cheng Heng¡¯s mouth with her hand, helping him to wipe off the red traces at the corner of his mouth. The smiley face smiled even wider, and a large number ¡®2¡¯ appeared on the lower left corner. [It¡¯s smiling! It¡¯s smiling!] The hamster cried out excitedly. This Master was too capable. In just two days, she had already obtained two smiley faces. With these two smiley faces, it could eat cotton candy tonight! [Then, can I exchange for Good Luck Points?] Zhou Miao asked the hamster. [Of course! Master, touch Cheng Heng first and retrieve the smiley faces. I¡¯ll exchange them for you now. Your appearance will also change accordingly.] Zhou Miao reached out to touch Cheng Heng¡¯s face lightly. Cheng Heng raised his head up from eating the carp pancakes and looked at Zhou Miao. His eyes were blank, and his puffed-up cheeks looked a little like that dumb hamster from the system. Zhou Miao touched his face again as if she was possessed. Cheng Heng¡¯s face was also dyed a faint pink, making him look extremely cute. The moment she touched Cheng Heng, she found that her short and rough fingers suddenly became slender and fair, and her nails became nicer-looking. [Just 2%, and it is already so effective?] [Yes, Master. Also, a friendly reminder. If you use smiley faces to exchange for Good Luck Points, you can¡¯t use them to complete the transmigration side quest anymore. So, when you get more smiley faces in the future, you have to distribute and use them wisely.] The hamster¡¯s voice rang out. Zhou Miao acknowledged his words in her heart. If her hand had changed, did that mean that the other parts of her body had not changed? With this thought in mind, she turned on the camera on her phone and looked at her face. It was still that same sallow face with dark circles that almost fell off her face. Her hair was still yellow and dry, but her complexion was a little better¡­ [Hamster, Hamster, can¡¯t I choose which part of my body to be changed?] [No, you can¡¯t. The appearance restored by Good Luck Points is random. You can¡¯t set any rules, Master.] Although rules could not be set, Zhou Miao had a strange guess in her heart. She had touched Cheng Heng with her hand just now, and her hand had become nice-looking. Did that mean that whichever part of her body she used to touch Cheng Heng would become nice-looking? Thinking of this, she suddenly leaned close to Cheng Heng¡¯s face, wanting to try to kiss his face and see if her mouth would change. The hamster didn¡¯t expect its Master to be so aggressive, and it covered its eyes instantly. She stopped ten centimeters away from Cheng Heng¡¯s face. Cheng Heng¡¯s ears and face had turned bright red, like a red hawthorn. The lines of his side profile were so attractive, and the outline of his brow bone to his jawline was like the work of a skilled sculptor. He was eating with his cheeks puffed up in a cute way. He didn¡¯t avoid her, as if he was still looking forward to something. Zhou Miao looked at his side profile and suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. She suddenly got up and walked out of the study room, then leaned against the door of the study room, stroking her pounding heart. ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s take it slowly. I must not be tempted by evil thoughts,¡± she thought. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Little Sister?¡± Yu Ying¡¯s voice suddenly rang out. She was walking upstairs with a facial mask on. ¡°I¡¯m fine. What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Looking at your panicked appearance, I thought that Brother-in-law had gone crazy and hurt people again.¡± Yu Ying had probably just finished applying her facial mask. Her hands were circling her face to promote the absorption of the facial mask¡¯s essence. ¡°Why? Is it because there aren¡¯t enough things from Brother-in-law for you to meddle in that you have to poke your nose into your little brother-in-law¡¯s matters? ¡°Zhou Miao laughed scornfully. She had plenty of words to say to this kind of smiling two-faced weasel. ¡°I didn¡¯t realize that Big Sister still likes to snatch other people¡¯s things so much.¡± ¡°Little Sister, what are you saying? I didn¡¯t steal anything from you.¡± Her eyes were icy cold, but she was still smiling. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Big Sister. You¡¯ll understand in the future.¡± Zhou Miao winked at her and smiled. Yu Ying was a little confounded. The little sister in front of her didn¡¯t seem to be the sister who had lost all her attractiveness, but the radiant little sister from the past. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about, but my new blind box series will be released tomorrow. If you¡¯re willing, I can bring you around and show you the world.¡± Yu Ying was now a famous designer in the trendy toys circle, and Zhou Miao also majored in design. When Yu Ying was in her fourth year of University, she released her first set of trendy toys blind boxes, the Rocking Chair Bear series. Due to this blind box product, she became a famous trendy toys designer in the industry. ¡°Did she steal all these talents too?¡± Zhou Miao thought. ¡°It¡¯s fine. There¡¯s no need. I¡¯m just a student. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Big Sister, you should take care of your health. Why is your face looking a bit lop-sided?¡± Zhou Miao looked at Yu Ying and revealed an evil smile. ¡°Hurry up and check yourself in the mirror, Big Sister.¡± Yu Ying glared at her resentfully, then hurriedly ran into the room and looked at herself in the makeup mirror. Chapter 6 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The woman in the mirror was still dazzling. There was still a faint rose fragrance on her body, and the beauty mole was still on her face¡­ She squinted her eyes at the mirror. ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯m still that gorgeous ¡®genius designer¡¯ Yu Ying. How can I become ugly?¡± she thought. ¡°No way, no way,¡± she said as she looked at the mirror with a twisted smile. How could something that was already in her hands change just because of a few words from her Little Sister? It must be an illusion, an illusion! She then took out another Rose Facial Mask and applied it to her face. She couldn¡¯t let anything go wrong at the press conference for the blind box¡¯s new series tomorrow. Meanwhile, Zhou Miao had a good night¡¯s sleep. When she woke up, it was still very early. The sky was slightly bright, and Cheng Heng was sleeping soundly before her, holding a small bear plush toy in his arms. This bear plush toy looked very much like the Rocking Chair Bear designed by Yu Ying. Zhou Miao was a little confused. She switched on her phone and searched for the picture. Although the bears looked very similar, this particular bear design had never appeared in Yu Ying¡¯s design series. Could it be an exclusive design? Zhou Miao was a little confused. However, the most important thing right now was to please the person in front of her. Thinking of this, she placed an order for bear cookies online from the nearest cake shop. Wasn¡¯t it just feeding biscuits? It was such a simple way to obtain them! Before the cookies arrived, the guests had arrived. It was Mother Cheng¡¯s youngest sister, Su Shu. She had brought her son, Lu Yan, to ask Cheng Heng to go to the art studio. The art studio was in a house in the suburbs belonging to the Su family. It was Mother Cheng¡¯s property. The scenery there was very picturesque. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the art studio was a luxuriant mountain forest. Different types of flowers bloomed in different seasons. Sometimes, there were deer darting through the woods. It was a delightful place to draw. Lu Yan and Cheng Heng were drawing in the studio, while Zhou Miao was chatting with the two elders in the living room outside. Su Shu knew that Zhou Miao didn¡¯t like to hang out with Cheng Heng, but she was surprised to see that she was willing to come out with Cheng Heng. ¡°Miss Zhou, don¡¯t you have to take care of your aunt lately?¡± she asked carefully. Zhou Miao was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized that this might be an excuse used by the original owner to shut Mother Cheng up. ¡°No, my aunt has been in much better health recently. It¡¯s more important for me to take care of Cheng Heng now.¡± Su Shu sized her up and didn¡¯t quite understand, but she still nodded her head. ¡°I also hope you and Cheng Heng can get along well.¡± Most of the conversation between the two elders was about the Su family. Zhou Miao felt bored after listening for a while, so she left with the excuse that she needed to check on Cheng Heng. When she said she was going to check on Cheng Heng, she could feel Mother Cheng¡¯s eyes lighting up. ¡°Your daughter-in-law has really changed.¡± Su Shu looked at her own sister, who was on the verge of crying, and felt a strong pang of heartache. ¡°Yes, I thought it was strange too, but it¡¯s good that things turned out this way. I thought she was simply going to get through the two-year contract just like that, but now it seems she¡¯s willing to try.¡± ¡°That two-year contract might not work any more by then, Big Sister.¡± Su Shu looked at her sister and comforted her. ¡°We agreed that if Little Heng doesn¡¯t return to normal within two years, or if she doesn¡¯t want to continue with the engagement, she can leave. After all, I¡¯m a mother too, and no mother would want her child to waste her entire life on¡­¡± ¡°It will be okay, Big Sister. Our Little Heng just has a different way of expressing himself. He¡¯s not a bad child.¡± ¡°Idiotic Brother, I¡¯ll draw you another big ugly face!¡± ¡°Hmph! I really don¡¯t know why Big Brother is such a little idiot.¡± Zhou Miao walked to the door of the studio and heard the child¡¯s voice, calling out the word ¡®idiot¡¯ repeatedly and happily. She pushed open the door and saw Cheng Heng with his face drawn full of patterns and Lu Yan, who was sitting on the high stool in front of Cheng Heng. Lu Yan was holding a brush and painting on Cheng Heng¡¯s face. Cheng Heng¡¯s originally handsome face had a beard and strange dark circles under his eyes. Now he looked like a hybrid derived from crossing a giant panda with a hamster. His eyes were dull and emotionless, but when he saw Zhou Miao, his eyes moved slightly, as if brimming with a bit of tears. Zhou Miao felt as if her heart had been hit violently. She quickly walked up and snatched the paintbrush from Lu Yan¡¯s hand. ¡°How old are you already? Still playing such childish games? You¡¯re bullying your brother!¡± When Lu Yan saw that the person who had entered was a haughty and beautiful older sister, he took a step back in fear. However, he still pursed his lips and said, ¡°Hmph! I asked Brother to let me draw on him if he is not an idiot. Brother did this willingly!¡± What an unreasonable child! Zhou Jing raised her hand and was about to hit Lu Yan¡¯s butt. Chapter 7 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Lu Yan looked at the fiendish-looking Zhou Miao and the hand that was about to land on his butt. Suddenly, he sat down on the ground. The child¡¯s big eyes were filled with tears, but he still pulled a long face vehemently to stop himself from crying. ¡°Big Brother can¡¯t talk. Big Brother is an idiot. Big Brotheris really an idiot.¡± Lu Yan shouted resentfully. Children of this age had their own system of understanding the world, but they didn¡¯t have the ability to think in other people¡¯s shoes. That was why Lu Yan had treated his Big Brother in this way. In the child¡¯s eyes, Cheng Heng was a big, quiet idiot who couldn¡¯t speak. The child called Cheng Heng an idiot to tease him, but he was just acting according to his own thoughts. Although children appeared innocent, their naivety was sometimes even more hurtful than the devious scheming of adults. Zhou Miao looked at Cheng Heng, who had been painted as a giant panda. He lowered his head and looked only at the paint box in front of him in a daze. The emoji box above his head still had a dazed expression. Zhou Jing sighed. She knew that Cheng Heng couldn¡¯t feel pain in his body, and now it seemed that sometimes he couldn¡¯t feel this kind of malicious taunting from others. ¡°Big Brother is not an idiot.¡± Zhou Miao squatted down and stroked Lu Yan¡¯s head. Lu Yan¡¯s small face was tensed up. As he was holding back his tears, his nose had turned red, and he looked like he would rather die than submit. ¡°Big Brother only feels the world differently and expresses himself in a different way from us. There¡¯s nothing wrong with him.¡± Zhou Miao explained patiently. ¡°Not everyone who doesn¡¯t know how to speak is an idiot¡­¡± Lu Yan was somewhat convinced by Zhou Miao, but he still refused to admit it. ¡°No! Let Big Brother prove it to me!¡± Zhou Miao looked at Cheng Heng, who was sitting there in a daze, and felt that she was caught in a dilemma. How could he prove it? ¡°Do you have drawing homework to do? How about you let Big Brother do up one drawing according to your topic?¡± Zhou Miao looked at the empty drawing board, and an idea formed in her heart. Lu Yan nodded in agreement with Zhou Miao¡¯s suggestion. ¡°Then pinky swear with me then. If Big Brother can draw it, we won¡¯t think of him as an idiot anymore.¡± Seeing that Lu Yan had agreed, Zhou Miao¡¯s voice also became much gentler. Lu Yan had not cried earlier, but now he was choking back his tears a little. His eyes were red as he hooked his pinky with Zhou Miao¡¯s. ¡°Is that alright?¡± Zhou Miao turned her head to look at Cheng Heng. Cheng Heng stared at Zhou Miao blankly, as if he did not quite understand her purpose, but he still nodded obediently. He then sat in front of the easel and began spreading out the canvas. The two of them, one tall and one short, began to draw. This time, the theme of the homework assigned by Lu Yan¡¯s teacher was toys. Lu Yan drew his favorite Ultraman, while Cheng Heng drew the little bear that he often hugged. Little Bear was lying on the red plaid bed sheet, its eyes empty and black. The clothes on its body were not as exquisite as ordinary dolls, but rather, it was wearing torn clothes. However, the clothes were torn in a very artistic fashion and were made up of all kinds of patchwork rags. Zhou Miao looked at the lifelike Little Bear on the paper and thought of the bear that Cheng Heng had been carrying these few days. It seemed to be wearing the same clothes. What did this outfit represent? On the other hand, Lu Yan had also finished drawing. On the paper, there were pieces of things all over the place. The little monster had a big head and a small body. Ultraman¡¯s two protruding eyes looked like a small goldfish. Zhou Miao snickered out loud. Lu Yan¡¯s face turned red. He wasn¡¯t very good at drawing, so he felt a little embarrassed when he saw that his Big Brother was drawing very well. ¡°Alright, alright! Big Brother won. Big Brother is not an idiot.¡± Lu Yan pursed his lips. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Zhou Miao stroked Lu Yan¡¯s head. ¡°Then do you want to apologize to Big Brother?¡± Lu Yan stood there, a little embarrassed. ¡°If you apologize and wipe the paint off his face, I can reward you with some nice snacks!¡± Children of this age were still very innocent. Upon hearing that there were nice snacks, Lu Yan took the wet tissue from Zhou Miao¡¯s hand and stood in front of Cheng Heng with his head lowered. ¡°Big Brother, I¡¯m sorry. Let me help you wipe your face.¡± Just as Lu Yan was about to reach out and touch Cheng Heng¡¯s face, Cheng Heng suddenly turned his head to the side and stared at Zhou Miao with a lost look. ¡°Let him help you wipe it.¡± Zhou Jing nodded. ¡°He wants to apologize to you. He won¡¯t hurt you.¡± Cheng Heng obediently turned his head back and allowed Lu Yan to wipe his face. Zhou Miao could not help but laugh. Why did this Cheng Heng look like he had found a backer? Just now, when she was not around, he obediently allowed himself to be bullied by a child. Now that she was around, he became tough. Lu Yan still couldn¡¯t wipe Cheng Heng¡¯s face clean after a while. Zhou Miao thought about it and decided not to make things difficult for the child. She walked over and took the wet tissue to help him wipe it. The wiping was fine, but then Zhou Miao saw a smiley face appear above Lu Yan¡¯s head. On the other side, the blank face in the emoji box above Cheng Heng¡¯s head also smiled obediently. Huh? Could it be that she could also harvest other people¡¯s smiley faces? Chapter 8 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation [Master, you can¡¯t.] The hamster crawled out from behind the dialog box and looked at Zhou Miao with its cheeks puffed up. [You can only collect other people¡¯s smiley faces once, and you can only do this by touching Cheng Heng.] Zhou Miao cursed the profiteer hamster in her heart, but she still retrieved the smiley face. ¡°Cheng Heng, say thank you.¡± She said as she helped Cheng Heng wipe his face. Cheng Heng looked at her, his eyes sparkling with tiny stars. His eyes were usually bright, but they were unfocused as he cast his gaze around in confusion. However, Zhou Miao could feel that when Cheng Heng was looking at her, his eyes were focused fixedly on her. Cheng Heng licked his lips. The tips of his ears had long been dyed a faint pink because of Zhou Miao¡¯s actions of wiping his face. The evening light cast its rays gently on his face, and the fine and tiny hairs on his face blurred his face profile. Zhou Miao was waiting for him to speak. He looked at Zhou Miao, and the room fell into silence. After waiting a long time, Cheng Heng slowly said, ¡°Thank you.¡± A flock of birds suddenly flew past the window, their huge wings brushing past the floor-to-ceiling window as they shrieked loudly. In the next second, the raised easel smashed a large hole through the floor-to-ceiling window in front of them, and the glass shards flew in all directions. Zhou Miao¡¯s first reaction was to protect the two of them behind her so that they wouldn¡¯t be hit by the flying glass shards. Fortunately, Zhou Miao¡¯s reaction was quick, and Lu Yan wasn¡¯t injured. However, her arm suffered a long cut by the glass shards. On the other hand, Cheng Heng seemed to feel nothing at all. He picked up the glass shards and held them in his hand. His hand was quickly cut by the glass shards, and the red blood smeared on the blue glass made it look like a red carp. His eyes were blank, and the expression above his head was one of fear and anger. Mother Cheng and Su Shu heard the noise and rushed over. Su Shu held Lu Yan up to check if he was injured. Mother Cheng tried to snatch the glass shards from Cheng Heng¡¯s hands, but Cheng Heng simply held on to them as if he found them fascinating. Zhou Miao walked over and pried his fingers away one by one, cleaning out the glass shards. Cheng Heng wanted to grab those fragments again, but he suddenly stopped when he saw Zhou Miao. ¡°You¡¯ll get hurt.¡± Zhou Miao said, ¡°Look, it¡¯s bleeding¡­ It¡¯s very painful to bleed or get injured. It¡¯s not a good thing.¡± Zhou Miao raised the wound on her arm in front of Cheng Heng. She wanted to get Cheng Heng to understand that it was wrong to hurt himself like this. Cheng Heng¡¯s eyes were still blank, but he didn¡¯t touch the glass shards again. ¡°It¡¯s not a good thing¡­¡± he muttered to himself. ¡°It¡¯s not a good thing.¡± After calming Cheng Heng down and applying medicine for him, Zhou Miao went to the living room to look for Mother Cheng. ¡°How is it?¡± Mother Cheng was very anxious. ¡°I¡¯ve applied medicine on his wounds. He¡¯s resting now.¡± Zhou Miao looked at Mother Cheng, whose eyes were red, and sighed in her heart. ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen him so unafraid of pain.¡± Zhou Miao shook her head. ¡°He¡¯s even clutching the glass shards in his hands.¡± Mother Cheng sighed. ¡°All these years, our family didn¡¯t dare to use anything that contained glass. It¡¯s because of him. He¡¯s not afraid of pain, and he doesn¡¯t even cry. Even when he gets beaten up, he doesn¡¯t scream or cry, like he does not feel anything.¡± ¡°Has he been like this since he was young?¡± Zhou Miao was a little puzzled. ¡°Yes. He was bullied by a kid in the same class on one Sports Day. Some kid tripped him up deliberately, and he fell down a few times. When he came home to shower, I realized his leg was bruised.¡± ¡°At that time, I thought he was not good at sports, but later, I realized why he kept tripping. But it¡¯s too late. He had an unhappy childhood just like that. This child¡­¡± Mother Cheng took out a photo from the photo album. In the photo, Cheng Heng was covered in mud, standing among a group of bright and beautiful children. His face was covered in gray blotches as if he had just rolled in the dirt. There was a faint light at the edge of the photo, and Zhou Miao thought she was seeing things. [Ding! Master, you have found two tokens. You can exchange your smiley faces with me anytime to start the mission.] The system hamster¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in her ear. [How many smiley faces do I need for the two tokens I found?] [The photo token needs 2 smiley faces in exchange. Token X needs more than 500 in exchange, so it will not be displayed for now. Master¡¯s current smiley face balance: 2] It seemed that she could only make one exchange first. [I¡¯m doing the photo mission.] [Okay. The mission will be carried out when Master is sleeping. Please be prepared.] After chatting with Mother Cheng for a while, Zhou Miao also planned to go upstairs to rest. There was a small balcony in the bedroom of this house, with a small swing for two people. Chapter 9 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation When Zhou Miao entered the room, she saw Cheng Heng wearing earphones and sitting alone on the swing. In the emoji box was an emoji of a sleepy person wearing large earphones, and Cheng Heng on the swing also had his eyes half-closed. Zhou Miao sat down, carefully took off the earphone on one side of his head, and put it on her ear. Cheng Heng turned to look at her but said nothing. The song that Cheng Heng was listening to was very soothing. Zhou Miao, who had initially only wanted to take a nap, fell asleep unknowingly. The noisy kindergarten was filled with children wearing exquisite school uniforms. This should be a kindergarten for elite families. It was playtime for the children. Some of the older children in the field were playing football, while others were fiddling with plastic bowls and the like on the stone table nearby. It looked like they were playing house. This was the scene in front of her the moment Zhou Miao opened her eyes. Was this the mission that the system said she had to do after transmigrating? [Yes, this is the place where Master has to undertake the mission.] What was the specific mission? [You have to locate the mission yourself.] Zhou Miao pursed her lips. This was just great. That critter took her smiley face and didn¡¯t care about anything else. She still had to locate the mission herself. Just as Zhou Miao was puzzling over what to do, a group of people in the small field in front of her caught her attention. A group of boys in small two-piece suits was surrounding something, and some unpleasant words were heard. Zhou Miao walked over to take a look inside. It was a group of boys surrounding a little boy. They kept pushing him and calling him a little idiot. What kind of kindergarten school bullying was this? Why did they start doing this at such a young age? ¡°What are you doing? How can you bully others at such a young age?¡± None of the children turned around to look at Zhou Miao. It was as if she did not exist. She reached out to pull the little boy in the lead, but her hand simply went past the little boy¡¯s shoulder. So she didn¡¯t have a physical body here! She took two steps forward and saw the little boy who was being surrounded. He was wearing the same school uniform as they were, but his uniform was covered in a lot of dirt. The shirt that was exposed below the school uniform was in a red plaid style. ¡°Cheng Heng?¡± she asked in bewilderment. To her surprise, Cheng Heng, who kept his head lowered as he was surrounded, actually raised his head to look at her. His eyes were very bright, but they didn¡¯t seem to have much focus. He only seemed to be able to focus the moment he saw Zhou Miao. This was Cheng Heng when he was young? ¡°Cheng Heng, just be the idiot that you are! You can¡¯t talk anyway, so you can¡¯t play house in our group!¡± The little boy in the lead grabbed a handful of earth and threw it at him. Cheng Heng simply lowered his head silently, as if he couldn¡¯t feel anything. ¡°What if Cheng Heng tells the teacher we¡¯re bullying him?¡± The little boy beside him frowned and looked worried. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. That little idiot can¡¯t speak! Even if he told the teacher, there¡¯s still Brother Cheng Tai!¡± Brother Cheng Tai? Wasn¡¯t that Cheng Heng¡¯s biological older brother? The way things were progressing was not quite the same as what Zhou Miao had expected. After kindergarten¡¯s dismissal, Zhou Miao and Little Cheng Heng returned to the Cheng family together. ¡°Why is there so much dirt today? Did you fall into the sand pit again?¡± Mother Cheng looked at her dusty son and patted the dirt off Cheng Heng¡¯s body with some heartache. ¡°Mom, I heard from the kids in the middle class that Little Heng went to the sand pit to play by himself. The teacher didn¡¯t stop him, but I pulled him out later. I¡¯ll definitely protect my little brother tomorrow and make sure he doesn¡¯t go to the sand pit.¡± Cheng Tai, who was standing on the side, explained with a straight face, like a little adult. Mother Cheng sighed. ¡°I know. Our Little Tai is so sensible. You even know how to protect your younger brother.¡± Mother Cheng stroked Cheng Tai¡¯s head. ¡°You two can go and play.¡± After the two children ran far away, Mother Cheng¡¯s eyes reddened again. She even sighed deeply. ¡°Madam, don¡¯t worry. Although Young Master Cheng Tai isn¡¯t your biological son, he¡¯s very sensible. I¡¯m sure he¡¯ll take good care of Second Young Master in the future.¡± Cheng Tai wasn¡¯t Mother Cheng¡¯s biological son? And Cheng Tai had been bullying Cheng Heng since childhood? Zhou Miao furrowed her brows. This did not correspond to the scenario she had in mind. In the bedroom, little Cheng Heng was sitting on the bed motionlessly, still wearing a red plaid shirt. It was already 9:30 pm, the time for a child to go to bed, but this child was still staring at Zhou Miao in front of him. ¡°Little Heng, why didn¡¯t you change into your pajamas?¡± Zhou Miao said in a voice that she thought was very gentle. The little boy was stunned for a long time before slowly asking, ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°Little Heng, I¡¯m Sister Angel. I¡¯m here to help you go to sleep.¡± Zhou Miao stared into Cheng Heng¡¯s eyes and said sincerely. Chapter 10 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The young Cheng Heng¡¯s face was round like a small bun, and Zhou Miao had to resist the urge to reach out and rub his face. ¡°There are no angels¡­¡± Little Cheng Heng pouted, and there was finally some expression on his blank face. ¡°But you see, only you can see me, right? Only the children who are being protected can see their own angels.¡± Zhou Miao continued to spout nonsense with a straight face. Little Cheng Heng seemed to believe her words. He changed into blue plaid pajamas and lay on the bed obediently, but he still kept his eyes open, refusing to sleep. Zhou Miao looked at the time. It was already 10:30 pm. She was beginning to feel exasperated. 10:30 pm was too late for a child to still remain up. ¡°Little Heng, if you can¡¯t sleep, Sister Angel can sing you a lullaby.¡± Zhou Miao racked her brains and sang the lullaby that she had learned when she was young over and over again. She hummed the parts where she couldn¡¯t remember the lyrics. She was not good at singing and was so out of tune that the melody was almost unrecognizable. Little Cheng Heng gradually fell asleep in the off-key singing. Zhou Miao looked at his small round face that still had some baby fat and couldn¡¯t help but want to touch it. She reached out her hand to try. The moment she touched him, she felt the child¡¯s warm and tender tiny face. Hey! She could actually touch Little Cheng Heng. She tried to lift his hand and found that she was able to lift up the child¡¯s chubby hand. In this case, if those children still bullied Cheng Heng tomorrow, she only needed to grab Cheng Heng¡¯s hand and beat them up, and her task should be considered complete, right? Thinking of the photograph that was the mission¡¯s token, Zhou Miao thought that it shouldn¡¯t be that simple. What was the solution then? As she thought about it, she fell asleep on Cheng Heng¡¯s bed. When Zhou Miao woke up, Cheng Heng had already finished washing up and was standing at the table, packing his small school bag. He wasn¡¯t wearing the dirty school uniform from yesterday. Instead, he was wearing a red plaid sweatshirt with two thin cords dangling from the hood, which made him look cute and lovely. These clothes¡­ were the same as those he wore in the photograph? Zhou Miao felt very clear-headed all of a sudden. There were many fun games on Sports Day in the kindergarten, and the grouping was also arranged by the teacher. Cheng Heng was assigned to a two-person team for the three-legged race, and the one in the same group as him was the child who took the lead in bullying him yesterday. This child was a little taller than Cheng Heng, so he deliberately moved his left foot forward a little more and successfully brought Cheng Heng down while he himself stood firmly. ¡°Brother Cheng Tai told me to teach you a lesson. I didn¡¯t expect you to put up no resistance at all. You¡¯re really an idiot, hahaha!¡± The child whispered in Cheng Heng¡¯s ear. Zhou Miao couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and walked to Cheng Heng¡¯s side. When that child tried his tricks again, she grabbed Cheng Heng firmly, who was about to fall down, and that child, caught off guard, fell down hard, ending up with his entire body covered in earth. ¡°Teacher, Cheng Heng tripped me on purpose!¡± The boy who had fallen down did not give up and sat on the ground, crying. The parents and teachers in the audience hurriedly ran over to separate the two children. All the children were staring at Cheng Heng, but he didn¡¯t react. Mother Cheng checked Cheng Heng to see if he was injured. A teacher with poor observation skills asked, ¡°Little Cheng Heng, why did you trip your classmate up?¡± Mother Cheng rolled her eyes vehemently at the teacher. Zhou Miao looked at Cheng Heng. Then thinking that she was doing something wrong with good intentions, she said, ¡°Little Heng, tell the teacher that he tripped you first.¡± Cheng Heng looked at Zhou Miao and hesitated for a long time. ¡°He tripped¡­ me first¡­¡± His voice was very soft, and the teacher standing at the side looked at him. ¡°Then tell me why he tripped you?¡± Mother Cheng rolled her eyes again. ¡°Teacher, let¡¯s not blame the child for now.¡± ¡°Little Heng, tell the teacher that he has been bullying you with many people.¡± Zhou Miao said to Cheng Heng at the side. Cheng Heng looked at Zhou Miao, seemingly not understanding what she was saying. ¡°Little Heng, go on. Tell the teacher.¡± Zhou Miao was extremely anxious, and wished she could speak for Cheng Heng. ¡°Sister Angel helped you up when you fell just now. It¡¯s time for you to repay Sister Angel. Tell your Mommy and Teacher that this little kid bullied you and threw sand at you.¡± Mother Cheng looked at Cheng Heng and touched his face with heartache. ¡°We won¡¯t play with this child anymore. Little Heng, be good.¡± Cheng Heng¡¯s lips moved, but he still did not say anything. Zhou Miao was really anxious now. ¡°Go on, say it.¡± Mother Cheng also realized that her son seemed to have something to say. ¡°He¡­ hit me¡­ threw sand¡­¡± As Mother Cheng listened, she frowned and looked at the teacher next to her. ¡°Teacher, Cheng Heng said that he was bullied by this child before. Please investigate this matter.¡± Chapter 11 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation [Photograph Mission is completed. You will be sent back to your original time and space.] The hamster¡¯s voice rang out. Zhou Miao was planning to say something to Cheng Heng, but her vision suddenly turned black. When she woke up again, she was sitting on a small swing. Next to her, Cheng Heng didn¡¯t sleep. He just stayed quietly beside her, perhaps thinking about something. The sound in her earphone was still playing the same song. The simple strumming of the guitar accompanied the deep male voice. The window was opened, and the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard floated onto the small balcony. Zhou Miao gently pulled Cheng Heng¡¯s hand, wanting to see how the wound on his hand was. Cheng Heng didn¡¯t struggle and allowed her to hold his hand. He still had a dazed expression on his face, and the way he looked at her was still the same. [System, system, I don¡¯t seem to sense any changes.] The hamster was listening to music with its legs crossed. When it heard Zhou Miao¡¯s call, it started to explain. [The corresponding number of smiley faces required for each mission is different. When more smiley faces are used, more significant changes will be seen. Since you only used two smiley faces now, there is no way to see the changes.] Zhou Miao felt a little discouraged. So such a rule existed too. [Then can I save up to 500 to take on another mission?] [Theoretically, it should be possible, but I don¡¯t recommend that, Master. The more smiley faces the mission requires, the more dangerous it is.] However, when she transmigrated over there, she was like a spirit without a physical body. What danger could she be in? [I can¡¯t reveal this yet. This is a function that will only be unlocked later.] Zhou Miao cursed the unscrupulous system in her heart and brought Cheng Heng to bed. It was probably because she had completed the mission that she slept very soundly. She fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow, but Cheng Heng didn¡¯t fall asleep. He kept looking at her with his eyes open. ¡°Sister¡­ Angel¡­¡± His voice was very soft. He reached out and touched a particular part of Zhou Miao¡¯s face, then shook his head. ¡°Still¡­ not¡­¡± At this moment, on the other side of the city, the after-party for the press conference to launch the ¡°Rocking Chair Bear New Series¡± was not over yet. Yu Ying held Cheng Tai as they glided through the beautiful clothes and glamorous make-up, greeting everyone with winsome smiles. Today¡¯s press conference was indeed a great success. 50 million orders were placed once they went online, resulting in a complete sell-out. Her talent was always so readily embraced by the masses. ¡°Ms. Beautiful Designer, would you be willing to grace our latest variety show with your presence?¡± The person who spoke was a famous producer of variety shows in the industry. ¡°Of course I¡¯m willing.¡± Yu Ying nodded with a bright smile. She was always like this, always able to get all kinds of opportunities. Not only were her works popular, but her beauty also attracted attention easily. ¡°But I¡¯ve always been curious. Why does Ms. Beautiful Designer always wear this longevity locket necklace? It doesn¡¯t match our fashionable Designer Yu¡¯s taste.¡± The producer asked jokingly. ¡°This is my family heirloom. I always wear it to show my respect to the elders in my family,¡± Yu Ying answered. ¡°I didn¡¯t realize Designer Yu was such a filial person.¡± When she heard the producer in front of her starting to compliment her, Yu Ying thought in her heart, ¡°What a bunch of idiots. This kind of longevity locket is not some family heirloom. It was just something to steal Zhou Miao¡¯s talent and looks.¡± She remembered clearly that she had been outshone by Zhou Miao in everything since she was young. Zhou Miao¡¯s talent in design was greater than hers, and her looks were also countless times better than hers. At that point, Yu Ying was, at best, an ordinary art designer. She received a miserable monthly salary and faced the danger of baldness. Even if she got married, she could only marry a poor man and live a life of basic necessities every day. However, ever since she obtained this treasure and got hold of Zhou Miao¡¯s beauty and talent, everything changed. She still remembered the scene that inexplicably appeared in her mind at that time. She was sitting at her desk and was being reprimanded by her leader after her proposal got rejected. The huge billboard on the building next to her office had Zhou Miao¡¯s face printed on it, with the title ¡°New Beautiful Designer ¨C Zhou Miao.¡± She was arguing endlessly with her ordinary ugly boyfriend over a 1000 yuan Western meal, while Zhou Miao sat elegantly in the middle of the banquet held by the wealthy family, receiving everyone¡¯s envious gazes. Yu Ying looked at the building outside the window. The building with Zhou Miao¡¯s Billboard in the scene was now replaced with her billboard. Yu Ying was beautiful and graceful on the billboard. ¡°Everything you have is mine. I won¡¯t let you take it back.¡± Yu Ying touched the longevity locket on her neck and laughed scornfully in her heart. Chapter 12 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Yu Ying touched her face and suddenly remembered that her husband had told her a few days ago that the idiot of the Cheng family was acting up again. She snickered scornfully. ¡°That¡¯s great. Zhou Miao, you can bear all this pain while I lead my happy and fortunate life,¡± she thought. At this point, she still didn¡¯t know that the little sister she had thought she could confidently get rid of immediately would soon take back everything! When Zhou Miao woke up, the sky was dark and gloomy, and there was no sunlight. The bedroom was quite dim. Cheng Heng had already woken up and was sitting on the swing. He didn¡¯t look too happy. In the emoji box above his head, a crying emoji was silently shedding tears. What was going on? Was it because he couldn¡¯t go for a walk? Zhou Miao walked to the side of the swing. Cheng Heng turned his head to look at her, which was a rare sight. He was wearing red plaid sportswear and a wired headset. His fringe was long, and his slender eyes were hidden behind. Zhou Miao could not see his eyes clearly. ¡°Shall we go out today?¡± Zhou Miao asked tentatively. After transmigrating over, Zhou Miao had taken a look at the host¡¯s dressing table and wardrobe, which were completely empty. The host really despised Cheng Heng to the core. She probably didn¡¯t live in the Cheng family¡¯s residence at all. Since Zhou Miaowanted to cure Cheng Heng and take back her luck, she had to live her life properly. ¡°People¡­¡± Cheng Heng shook his head and said something that Zhou Miao could not understand. He probably meant that there were many people outside. ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s fine even if there are many people. I¡¯ll protect you.¡± In the mall, Cheng Heng obediently held Zhou Miao¡¯s hand. He was wearing his favorite red plaid shirt and carrying a backpack that was covered with small hanging toys. In addition to animal-shaped food, Cheng Heng also liked all kinds of small animal plush toys, just like a small child. He cowered timidly behind Zhou Miao with his head lowered, slightly hunchbacked, like a little quail. If he lowered his head any further, he would practically bury his head into Zhou Miao¡¯s body. In the emoji box above his head was an emoji of someone covering his eyes and trembling. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Zhou Miao¡¯s grip tightened a little, and she smiled as she looked at Cheng Heng. His trembling expression calmed down a little, and his trembling was no longer so vigorous. In the beauty products shop, Zhou Miao used the last bit of the original owner¡¯s savings to pick a full set of high-end cosmetics and skincare products for herself. Although her Good Luck Points were insufficient now, in order to remain as radiant as before after restoring her looks, the current maintenance regime was necessary. Under the guidance of the sales assistant, Zhou Miao tried some of the more versatile lipsticks. Although the girl in the mirror still looked haggard and rough, she looked much better after applying the lipstick. There were people coming in and out of the store, all of them girls who were excitedly trying out lipsticks. Cheng Heng was being squeezed here and there until he became fearful, and could only stick close to Zhou Miao. The distance between the two was getting closer and closer. When Zhou Miao finished putting on her lipstick and turned her head to show it to Cheng Heng, their faces came close to touching, and their breathing intertwined. It was the first time Zhou Miao was so close to Cheng Heng¡¯s face. She was a little flustered. ¡°¡­ Does it look good?¡± In a moment of anxiousness, even her voice trembled as she spoke. Cheng Heng stared at her for a long time, then pointed at a particular spot on her face and shook his head. ¡°No¡­ ugly¡­¡± Zhou Miao pursed her lips. This fellow had no sense of aesthetics! After buying clothes and cosmetics, Zhou Miao brought Cheng Heng to a premium grocery store that sold all kinds of cups, plates, accessories, and toys. Zhou Miao was also a girl, and she liked all kinds of little gimmicks. If only she could buy some to decorate her empty room. In the premium grocery store, she saw a headband with a toy. She took the headband down from the shelf and put it on Cheng Heng¡¯s head. The expression above Cheng Heng¡¯s head showed a puzzled look. Zhou Miao pulled him to the mirror. The man in the mirror was wearing a rabbit hat. By tugging at the dangling cords on it, Zhou Miao could make the rabbit¡¯s ears flop up and down, making him look so adorable. Zhou Miao clutched the straps and played with the rabbit¡¯s ears. The Cheng Heng in the mirror looked a little silly and cute. ¡°So cute¡­¡± Zhou Miao could not help but exclaim in admiration. Cheng Heng¡¯s face turned red, and a smiley face suddenly popped up in the emoji box above his head. The hamster that was lying on the dialog box was shocked. [It¡¯s smiling again! It¡¯s smiling again!] Zhou Miao looked at Cheng Heng in front of him, who was already so embarrassed that his ears were all red. Did his smiley face pop up because she said that he was cute? What a narcissistic man! She repeated the same trick and put a headband with puppy ears on his head. He lowered his eyes like an obedient puppy. ¡°This one is also cute¡­¡± Chapter 13 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The puppy-like man¡¯s face was also burning red. Under the smiley face above his head, a small number 2 appeared. Zhou Miao used the same method and tried on the hamster hat and rabbit headband, and got 8 smiley faces. [Hamster, I want to exchange them for Good Luck Points.] [Okay, okay. Do you want to exchange it for 8 Good Luck Points?] The hamster said obsequiously. [No need. I¡¯ll exchange it for 6. I¡¯ll use the remainder for the next side quest.] The hamster was silent for a moment, then said with a frown. [Master, you haven¡¯t found the token for the next mission, and the number of smiley faces you need for the next one isn¡¯t 2¡­ but 6¡­] [Huh?] Zhou Miao took out the hamster toy from the shopping bag and gave it a punch. [Master, the number of smiley faces required for future missions will only increase. It might even¡­ increase exponentially¡­] It was an exponential increase. This time, it was 6. Could it be 36 next time? This hamster was really a profiteer. [So, Master, please reconsider how much you want to exchange.] [2¡­] She gritted her teeth. The side quest was more important to her. In order to save Cheng Heng, it didn¡¯t matter if her appearance recovered a little slower. After sending out the two smiley faces, Zhou Miao looked at her own reflection on the phone screen. It was still that same haggard and rough face. What had changed exactly? When they got home, Mother Cheng was instructing the domestic helpers to prepare dinner. Tonight¡¯s dishes were more sumptuous than usual. ¡°Do we have guests today, Mother?¡± ¡°Today is Friday. Little Tai and Yingying aren¡¯t busy and don¡¯t need to work overtime. My younger sister¡¯s family is here too. We can all have dinner together.¡± Seeing Zhou Miao¡¯s shopping bags of various sizes, Mother Cheng was a little puzzled. ¡°Did you go shopping?¡± ¡°Yes, I bought some daily necessities for myself and some¡­ toys for Little Heng.¡± Zhou Miao felt a little guilty. At that time, in order to make Cheng Heng happy, she had bought all those headbands and whatnots. She didn¡¯t know if Mother Cheng would tick her off. Mother Cheng didn¡¯t reprimand her. She only sighed softly and brought Zhou Miao to the bedroom, handing her a bank card. ¡°This is a supplementary card to Cheng Heng¡¯s card. If you need anything, don¡¯t use your own money. Just use the money in this card.¡± She then took out a mythical winged-lion bangle made of rose quartz crystal. The clarity and color of the crystal were top grade. The rose quartz crystal had a faint purple tinge to it. This item looked like it was worth a fortune. ¡°This was supposed to be given to you when you two got married, but¡­¡± Mother Cheng didn¡¯t know how to broach the subject. ¡°I know, Mother. It¡¯s fine. I will take good care of Cheng Heng. I was not sensible in the past.¡± Zhou Miao looked at Mother Cheng and said, ¡°But these¡­¡± ¡°Just take it.¡± Seeing the look in Mother Cheng¡¯s eyes, Zhou Miao couldn¡¯t bear to see her like this, so she put the things away in her pocket. The family dinner that night was very peaceful. As Zhou Miao and Cheng Heng¡¯s relationship had improved these days, Mother Cheng was very happy. She also greeted everyone at the dinner table in a good mood. ¡°Mom¡¯s in a good mood today.¡± Cheng Tai looked at Mother Cheng with a smile. ¡°It seems that my brother has been recovering well recently.¡± ¡°You¡¯re very sensible too. I¡¯ve heard about the company¡¯s performance these days from your father. The new product that you and Yingying developed is selling very well. Your father and I don¡¯t have to worry so much with you two around.¡± Mother Cheng said as she looked at her sensible eldest son. Only Zhou Miao was muttering in her heart. This Cheng Tai was such a sanctimonious person. Now he seemed to care so much about his younger brother, but when he was young, he had caused Cheng Heng a lot of harm. He also appeared to be a very shrewd and scheming person. ¡°Sister-in-law, it¡¯s been hard on you having to take care of Little Heng. Let me offer you a toast.¡± When she was toasted out of the blue, Zhou Miao raised her glass in a nonchalant gesture, but she was still a little doubtful. After the meal, everyone left and and carried on with their own life. Zhou Miao strolled around the mansion, wanting to see what kind of layout the Cheng family¡¯s residence had. Walking to the end of the corridor on the top floor, Zhou Miao saw a door that seemed to lead to the attic above. ¡°Sister-in-law.¡± It was Cheng Tai. ¡°Why are you strolling around here?¡± She adjusted her expression and looked at Cheng Tai. ¡°I¡¯m just taking a walk. I haven¡¯t had a good look around this house.¡± ¡°Sister-in-law, it seems you weren¡¯t familiar with the family previously. But now that you¡¯re willing to take care of my brother the idiot, I¡¯m very pleased. I thought you¡¯d leave this place.¡± This sentence sounded like a compliment, but it also had a strange undertone. ¡°It¡¯s my duty, and Cheng Heng is no idiot either. It¡¯s not very nice for a Big Brother to say this about his own Little Brother, is it?¡± Chapter 14 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Cheng Tai¡¯s expression remained unchanged. He simply smiled. ¡°In that case, thank you for your trouble, Sister-in-law. I still have some work to do. Please help yourself.¡± Zhou Miao was no longer polite. She turned around and was about to open the door and go up to the attic to take a look when Cheng Tai¡¯s voice rang out behind her again. ¡°Sister-in-law, you don¡¯t have to open that door. Because Cheng Heng was locked in there once before, that door is now locked.¡± The moment he finished speaking, the door seemed to emit a faint light. A token? [Master, the token and smiley faces required for the second stage are ready. Please choose whether you want to enter.] Zhou Miao let go of the door handle and confirmed with the hamster in her heart. The place where Zhou Miao woke up from her transmigration this time was actually the bathroom, and she was placed right in front of the mirror. What was this place? She looked at herself in the mirror. It wasn¡¯t a withered flower branch but a great beauty with a curvaceous figure. The blue plaid pajamas that initially lay flat in front of her chest had actually become full. In fact, the pajamas even looked a little too small. Her hair was like thick seaweed permed into big waves that cascaded down her back, and there was a beauty mole in the middle of her cheek. This tiny dot added a bit of charm to her already dazzling and gorgeous face. What was going on? Was this what she really looked like? She reached out to touch the faucet, but her hand still went through it. Although there was a reflection in the mirror, there was still no physical body. Where was Cheng Heng now? He should be nearby, right? Then, she turned around and saw Little Cheng Heng surrounded by bubbles and all kinds of rubber duckies in the bathtub. He looked a little older than the last time, with a silly mushroom hairstyle, as if he was wearing a helmet. He was submerged in white foam, and only his round head was exposed. He saw Zhou Miao and moved his lips, but after a long while, he only uttered, ¡°Sister¡­ Sister Angel¡­¡± At this moment, a servant suddenly pushed the door open and barged in. She was a little angry and chided, ¡°Second Young Master, are you done?¡± Little Cheng Heng looked at her without saying anything or moving. The servant cursed as she walked out. ¡°It¡¯s so troublesome to serve an idiot. Even taking a bath is so troublesome. I really don¡¯t understand why the Old Master and Madam threw that idiot to me while they went on a business trip. Seriously!¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough, Sister Shuping. Don¡¯t be so calculative with an idiot. It¡¯s a good thing that Madam and the Old Master aren¡¯t around. We can still secretly steal some of the bird¡¯s nest that Madam bought to drink.¡± Outside the door, a younger maid said. This was the first time Zhou Miao had seen such an arrogant servant. Before transmigration, Zhou Miao was also born into a rich family, and no servant dared to treat the master¡¯s family like this. She walked to the bathtub, took Cheng Heng¡¯s hand, and used it to feel the temperature of the water. Good grief! They didn¡¯t add hot water. Cheng Heng was so cold that he kept trembling, but his expression was still blank, as if he couldn¡¯t feel the bone-piercing cold. She couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. She grabbed Cheng Heng¡¯s hand to turn on the hot water tap. She didn¡¯t expect it to turn on, but it seemed she could still do some things through Cheng Heng. The hot water slowly neutralized the cold water. Cheng Heng¡¯s face gradually recovered its rosiness, but his face seemed to have turned red. ¡°Clothes¡­¡± His voice was still very soft. So he was shy. Zhou Miao turned around and let Cheng Heng put on his clothes. After Cheng Heng took his bath, Zhou Miao coaxed him to sleep by singing like before. She was about to go and take a look at the attic that was the token, but when she walked to the second floor, she saw the two servants from earlier. The older servant was holding a bowl and gobbling down the food. The fragrance of bird¡¯s nest porridge spread out from the dining room. ¡°Sister Shuping, these are all high-quality goods. It¡¯s good to be rich.¡± Next to her, the maid who was also eating said. ¡°That¡¯s right. There¡¯s also the ginseng and cordyceps that Madam prepared for that idiot. They¡¯re all high-quality goods. We¡¯ll eat them tomorrow to nourish our bodies. He doesn¡¯t know anyway.¡± ¡°But will the Eldest Young Master¡­¡± the maid asked. Shuping smiled. ¡°Cheng Tai is a scheming kid. I don¡¯t think he treats his younger brother well. After all, he¡¯s just a child that Madam and Old Master adopted from a poor relative of the Cheng family. He¡¯ll probably be a tool to take care of that idiot in the future.¡± ¡°So the Eldest Young Master isn¡¯t their biological son. Then we can eat whatever we want. I don¡¯t think he¡¯ll say anything.¡± ¡°They¡¯ll be back the day after tomorrow. Let¡¯s hurry up tomorrow night. If we really can¡¯t do it, we¡¯ll lock the idiot in the attic.¡± Shuping laughed arrogantly, as if she had already regarded herself as the master of the house. It seemed like Zhou Miao was tasked to get rid of this old woman this time. How should she solve this? Should she still use the same method as last time? However, what if Mother Cheng didn¡¯t listen to Cheng Heng when he told her? Would these maids bully little Cheng Heng even more? She reached the attic as she mulled over these thoughts. Chapter 15 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The attic wasn¡¯t full of junk as she had imagined. It was a dovecote filled with all kinds of pigeons, and there was a very large window. Many wealthy families would raise pigeons, and some would even specially train competition-level pigeons to participate in competitions. It seemed that Old Mr. Cheng also had such a hobby. She looked at the pigeons. Their flapping sounds were deafening, echoing through the attic. Cheng Heng had been locked up with these pigeons before, so was that why he became afraid of them later? If they didn¡¯t lock him up in the attic, would he not be haunted by this sort of thing in the future? The next day was a weekend. The two children didn¡¯t have to go to school. Cheng Tai was doing his homework in his room, while Little Cheng Heng was sitting in the study and drawing alone. At this point, his drawing ability was already very strong. ¡°Little Heng, why aren¡¯t you doing your homework?¡± Zhou Miao sat on the sofa at the side and looked at Cheng Heng, puzzled. Little Cheng Heng paused for a moment before taking out his homework from his bag. Every question on it had been done, the handwriting was neat, and the process was clear. Although Zhou Miao¡¯s mathematics was not particularly good, she could still see that Cheng Heng¡¯s answers were almost 100% correct. ¡°Amazing!¡± She praised him. Little Cheng Heng pouted, his face was a little red, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a little smile. ¡°He likes to be praised so much when he¡¯s young. He¡¯s so adorable!¡± Zhou Miao thought. ¡°Little Heng, do you miss your Daddy and Mommy?¡± Zhou Miao asked. Mother Cheng and Father Cheng had gone on a business trip for about a week, and she didn¡¯t know if Cheng Heng missed them. Little Cheng Heng looked at her with a puzzled look. ¡°What I meant is, since you haven¡¯t seen Daddy and Mommy for a long time, do you suddenly want to see them? If you want to, we can give them a call. Shall we?¡± ¡°Young Master, it¡¯s time for lunch.¡± The young maid from yesterday called out to Cheng Heng to come for lunch. The Cheng family¡¯s lunch was in the style of light congee and side dishes. There was ginseng shredded chicken congee, saffron pork ribs soup, stir-fried cabbage¡­ However, Zhou Miao¡¯s sharp eyes discovered that Cheng Heng¡¯s bowl only had a simple, shredded chicken congee and pork rib soup, and did not have those tonics specially bought for him. This was what the two servants had said yesterday. They had gone too far! They were receiving salaries, yet they still abused the employer¡¯s child! ¡°Young Masters, I¡¯ll bring the desserts.¡± Shuping used a cloth to carry the boiling hot white fungus soup. It was still steaming hot, probably just taken off the stove. Zhou Miao furrowed her brows. What kind of situation was this? Couldn¡¯t they cool it down a little? For some reason, Shuping¡¯s hand slipped, and the entire bowl of soup fell on Cheng Heng. Little Cheng Heng only looked at them in a daze and did not move. ¡°Aunt Shuping, you should help my brother apply some medicine.¡± At this moment, Cheng Tai was acting like a little master. Shuping brought Cheng Heng upstairs. The servants¡¯ room was next to the attic. She was taking Cheng Heng to the servants¡¯ room to apply medicine? Shuping took out the medicine and haphazardly pulled up Little Cheng Heng¡¯s clothes to smear some medicine randomly on his wound. The sharp-eyed Zhou Miao saw that there were many green and purple bruises on Cheng Heng¡¯s body, as if they were all caused by being pinched. The next second, Shuping pinched him hard. ¡°You¡¯re causing trouble for me every day, you troublemaker.¡± Little Cheng Heng looked at her without saying a word, but he pushed her hand away when she wanted to apply the medicine on him again. Shuping was furious. She yanked him up as if she wanted to give him a slap. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You¡¯re not satisfied with me serving you?¡± She pushed Cheng Heng into the attic next to her and scolded fiercely, ¡°If you weren¡¯t born in such a rich family, who would care about you?¡± Zhou Miao¡¯s jaw was about to drop from shock. This servant was way too arrogant. She pulled Little Cheng Heng¡¯s hand and tried to push this woman away, but the child¡¯s strength was too weak, and he was still ruthlessly thrown to the floor. The door to the attic was closed with a loud bang, leaving only the sound of the pigeons flapping their wings. Such noises frightened Cheng Heng. He slowly squatted down, trembling and screaming. Shuping seemed to have gone far away, and no one here could help Cheng Heng. Was this how he was bullied by the servants in the past? ¡°Little Heng, Little Heng, look at me!¡± Zhou Miao shouted loudly, and slowly took the small child into her arms, covering his eyes. ¡°Look at Sister Angel. Don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t be afraid¡­¡± Cheng Heng was comforted by her actions and stopped screaming, but he still trembled slightly. ¡°Look, they¡¯re just little birds. They won¡¯t hurt you. Look.¡± She held Cheng Heng in her arms and left a small gap for him to see outside. The pigeons simply flew in and out of the skylight and did not come near the two of them. Suddenly, a pigeon swooped down as if it was going to peck Cheng Heng. Chapter 16 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Zhou Miao hugged Cheng Heng and turned away. The pigeon did not peck them but simply turned around and flew away. Cheng Heng gradually stopped trembling and stayed in her arms to watch the pigeon. Suddenly, the door to the attic opened. Mother Cheng, who was on a business trip, rushed in and hugged Cheng Heng tightly. ¡°Little Heng, are you hurt?¡± Zhou Miao grabbed Cheng Heng¡¯s small hand and pulled up his shirt. A large patch of scald injury and all kinds of bruises appeared before Mother Cheng¡¯s eyes. Mother Cheng¡¯s expression changed from heartache to anger. ¡°Little Heng, who bullied you?¡± She looked at Cheng Heng, hoping that he could reveal the culprit. Cheng Heng¡¯s mouth was stammering. His speech impediment was still very serious. Mother Cheng sighed. ¡°I heard you call me to say that you miss me. I took a private jet back immediately. How did it end up like this in just a few hours? Who bullied you, Little Heng?¡± Zhou Miao said anxiously at the side, ¡°Tell mommy it¡¯s Aunt Shuping. It¡¯s Aunt Shuping¡­¡± ¡°Forget it, Little Heng. I will investigate thoroughly.¡± Mother Cheng picked up Cheng Heng and prepared to apply medicine for him. ¡°Shuping¡­ Aunt Shuping¡­¡± Cheng Heng¡¯s voice was as soft as a mosquito¡¯s. Mother Cheng looked at Cheng Heng in disbelief. That honest maid dared to bully her son behind her back! Shuping, who was standing at the door with a fawning expression, had already started to tremble. She began wailing loudly as she trembled. ¡°No, Young Master was¡­¡± ¡°No need to explain. Pack your bags and go back today. I¡¯ll get the housekeeper to get your salary ready for you.¡± Mother Cheng¡¯s face turned icy cold. ¡°Housekeeper, prepare two more servants for the Second Young Master. If you discover these servants bullying the Young Master, report it to me, and I¡¯ll reward you with two months¡¯ salary.¡± The housekeeper nodded in acknowledgment. Zhou Miao heaved a sigh of relief. The matter had finally been resolved. Initially, she had wanted to ask Cheng Heng to call Mother Cheng and ask her to come back earlier so that she would discover the two maids stealing food to eat. She didn¡¯t expect Mother Cheng to take a plane back immediately after hearing the child whisper, ¡°I miss Mommy¡± over the phone. Shuping left the Cheng family in a sorry state. However, Zhou Miao was not transported back like the last time. For some inexplicable reason, she actually stayed a little longer, all the way until Cheng Heng fell asleep. It was already past bedtime, but Little Cheng Heng refused to close his eyes and kept staring at Zhou Miao. It was no use even when Zhou Miao sang a lullaby out of tune. ¡°Quickly go to sleep.¡± Zhou Miao sat by Cheng Heng¡¯s bed, patting him gently. He eventually closed his eyes unwillingly. Zhou Miao felt her vision turn black, and the scene in front of her disappeared. Little Cheng Heng opened his eyes and saw an empty room. He closed his eyes and opened them again. He was still in his bedroom, and there was no one else. ¡°I miss¡­ miss Big Sister¡­¡± When Zhou Miao woke up, it was very bright outside, and she was in a good mood. She drew the curtains aside, and the sunlight from outside the window streamed into the room. The second mission was also very successful! The door opened, and the adult Cheng Heng stood behind her. He was still in his sportswear, and he was wearing a rabbit-eared hat on his head in a goofy manner. Before Zhou Miao turned around, the rabbit¡¯s ears were flapping on his head, like the tail of a little puppy that was wagging for joy when it saw its owner. When Zhou Miao went downstairs for breakfast, she ran into Mother Cheng. ¡°Good Morning, Mother.¡± Mother Cheng saw that Zhou Miao was in a good mood and also smiled. ¡°Morning.¡± ¡°Are you going out today?¡± Mother Cheng asked. ¡°I should take Cheng Heng out for a while. Nothing much happened when he went out last time. I think it would be good for him to interact more with the outside world.¡± Mother Cheng nodded in agreement with Zhou Miao. ¡°But, Mother, I want to ask you something. Why is the attic upstairs locked?¡± ¡°Oh? That was originally the place where Cheng Heng¡¯s father raised pigeons, but a shameless servant locked Cheng Heng in there. I was afraid that these servants would do something similar again, so I locked the room and stopped raising pigeons.¡± ¡°What happened to the servant after that?¡± ¡°She was fired. I guess she should be working as a cleaner now.¡± Mother Cheng said. Zhou Miao nodded to indicate she understood. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, ¡°Mother, where is she working as a cleaner now?¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The stench from the temporary toilet at the construction site was unbearable. A woman wearing a mask with sweat all over her forehead was cleaning the place, scrubbing the indescribable disgusting stains on the ground. This was a construction site on the outskirts of Cirrus City. The woman wearing a mask was a cleaner with the construction company. It was said that she used to be a high-ranking maid, but after an accident, she was now working as a cleaner with the construction team. A few young men walked into the toilet, cursing and swearing, and cursed at her when they saw her. She quickly took the cleaning tools and walked out of the toilet. She waited under the scorching sun for the men to finish using the toilet. She had experienced the lifestyle of the rich when she worked with a wealthy family before. She claimed that she was very capable and she had no choice but to work here due to circumstances beyond her control. The workers did not like to interact with her, and a few young, aggressive ones would swear at her to vent their anger. A luxury car was parked outside the construction site today. The woman narrowed her eyes and looked at the car¡¯s logo with two overlapping Ms. Her previous experience working in a rich family told her that this was a Maybach. In Cirrus City, people who could afford such a car were as rare as a comet. Such people were either rich or noble. ¡°Shuping, what are you staring at? Are you done cleaning the toilet?¡± The person-in-charge of the construction site berated from afar. Shuping retracted her gaze and walked into the toilet silently. Why would such a rich family come to this kind of construction site? When Shuping entered the toilet, she didn¡¯t notice a man who passed by her staring at her face. As soon as Shuping walked in, she heard a clatter outside, followed by a splash. A basin of cold water was suddenly thrown over her head. ¡°Fuck! Who the hell¡­¡± Before she could finish scolding, she realized that the door that had just been closed was locked. ¡°Help, help! Who locked the door? Open the door!¡± Unwilling to give up, Shuping pressed herself to the ground and looked outside through the crack at the bottom of the door. There was a man wearing exquisite leather shoes standing outside. Although the material of his leather shoes was not the best, it was obvious that he was a fairly rich man. ¡°Sister Shuping, I¡¯ve spoken to the person in charge of the construction site. The workers will be given a break this afternoon, and they will go off for dinner at night. No one will open the door for you until late at night.¡± ¡°Who the hell are you!¡± Before Shuping could finish her sentence, memories flashed through her mind. The face of the man at the door and the car outside¡­ Wasn¡¯t that the Cheng family¡¯s car and their chauffeur? Why was he here? Was the Young Master she had locked up before here to take revenge on her? She pounded madly on the door, hoping that someone would let her out. However, the people at the construction site were already preparing to go for their meals, so no one could hear her shouting. ¡°Is everything settled?¡± The moment the driver got into the car, he heard Zhou Miao¡¯s inquiry. ¡°It¡¯s settled, Second Young Mistress. The workers all left when they heard you were treating them to a big meal. No one will open the door for her.¡± Zhou Miao smiled. ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to you for finding out where she¡¯s working now. I¡¯m sorry to have troubled you to make this trip with me.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Back then, Sister Shuping was too arrogant. We didn¡¯t really like her.¡± Zhou Miao looked at Cheng Heng beside her. He had just seen the entire process of the driver locking Shu Ping inside. He didn¡¯t say a word except to look at Zhou Miao with a blank expression. ¡°We¡¯ve locked the old witch inside!¡± Zhou Miao said, ¡°The bad witch has been punished!¡± Cheng Heng¡¯s face was still blank, and the expression above his head was that of a sleepy dazed look. It was all in vain again! Zhou Miao was a little disappointed that she did not get a smiley face. However, she quickly thought of something else. ¡°I¡¯ll bring you to buy some animal toys and carp pancakes, okay?¡± ¡°Carp¡­ pancakes?¡± Cheng Heng looked at her with his head slightly tilted. ¡°It¡¯s like what you had the last time. The one that looks like a fish, with red bean filling, and it tastes sweet¡­¡± As she spoke, the expression on Cheng Heng¡¯s head suddenly turned into a smiley face. ¡°Carp pancakes¡­¡± He lowered his head and pursed his lips. The corners of his mouth seemed to curl up a little. It was really amazing. Did she just see Cheng Heng smile? There weren¡¯t many people in the downtown area on a weekend afternoon. Zhou Miao brought Cheng Heng to a small stall selling carp pancakes. They stood there looking at the stall vendor making the pancakes. The aroma of red bean and malt rose with the sizzling sound. Cheng Heng held Zhou Miao¡¯s hand tightly, and his eyes lit up as the golden carp pancake was taken out of the pot. Cheng Heng took the carp pancake from the stall vendor and ate it in small bites with his head lowered. A smiley face gradually appeared above his head. Zhou Miao held his hand and strolled around aimlessly for a while. Then she saw that Cheng Heng¡¯s eyes seemed to be staring at a specific store. Zhou Miao followed his gaze and looked in the same direction. She felt that her jaw was going to drop in the next second. Chapter 18 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The shop was very small, but there was a red plaid costume displayed in the small window, as well as a furry cat ear headband and a cat tail. Although the cat ears looked normal, the length of the costume was between a swimsuit and a bra. Cheng Heng saw Zhou Miao looking in the direction he wanted, so he stretched out his hand and pointed. ¡°Ears¡­¡± Zhou Miao pulled his hand down. ¡°Okay, okay. You get back into the car first. I¡¯ll help you buy it, okay?¡± Cheng Heng¡¯s eyes were blank, but when he saw Zhou Miao¡¯s expression, he nodded eventually. He lowered his head and returned to the car, nibbling on the carp pancake. Zhou Miao sighed and asked the driver to remain in the car. Then she mustered up her courage and walked into the store. That was really too much. Could these adults-only erotic shops not make things with plaid or animal designs! Cheng Heng finished two carp pancakes, but Zhou Miao had not returned. He held the third carp pancake and stared out of the window blankly, hoping to see Zhou Miao return with the cat ears he wanted. Zhou Miao¡¯s face was very glum. She carried a few big black bags and walked back to the side of the car. These bags looked very classy, and they were even inlaid with gold. Fortunately, it was a self-service shopping store. Otherwise, Zhou Miao felt that she was about to gouge out a villa with her feet. When Cheng Heng saw Zhou Miao, his eyes lit up. Zhou Miao took out the cat ear headband she had just bought and put it on Cheng Heng¡¯s head. This kind of thing was usually inlaid with black lace and bells, and it would tinkle when touched. Zhou Miao looked at Cheng Heng¡¯s goofy appearance and felt lost for words in her heart. ¡°Red plaid¡­¡± He cheered up momentarily as he wore the cat ears, then mumbled as he rummaged through the bag. Zhou Miao bought all the animal-design headbands in one go. Cheng Heng took out the red plaid costume from the heap of headbands and handed them to Zhou Miao. ¡°You¡­ wear this.¡± His eyes were sincere and bright. Zhou Miao looked at his hopeful eyes and also blushed. Although she knew he only liked the red plaid design, this costume was really¡­ If it wasn¡¯t for Cheng Heng¡¯s special condition, Zhou Miao would definitely shout that he was acting like a hooligan before giving him a slap. ¡°I¡¯ll wear it for you when we get back.¡± Zhou Miao stuffed the clothes back into the bag haphazardly and promised him. ¡°Honest, honest. I¡¯ll definitely wear them when I go back.¡± Cheng Heng looked at her and smiled, and the number beside the smiley face above his head increased. [Master, there are 5 smiley faces now. Do you want to¡­] The hamster started working again while chewing on cotton candy. [Exchange! Exchange for Good Luck Points!] Zhou Miao agreed immediately. 5 smiley faces could be exchanged for five Good Luck Points. This should allow her to see which part of her appearance had changed, right? As soon as she handed over the smiley faces in her hand, Zhou Miao felt that the scraggly hair scattered initially over her shoulders suddenly felt much smoother. She swept her hair to the side and saw that her initially dry and yellow hair had become as smooth as silk. It was slightly curled and felt very good to the touch. She immediately felt her mood lighten. Looking at Cheng Heng wearing a strange headband in front of her, she thought that the man in front of her was really too cute. Cheng Heng went out for two days in a row, and nothing happened, which made Mother Cheng very happy. Before dinner, she asked Zhou Miao what she would like to eat, and specially cooked Zhou Miao¡¯s favorite squirrel fish, a dish made from deboned, deep-fried mandarin fish. Yu Ying was also having dinner at home today. Seeing Mother Cheng cooking, she gritted her teeth in her heart, although she didn¡¯t show it on her face. In order to encourage Yu Ying to work harder, Mother Yu would make Zhou Miao¡¯s favorite food and give her very nice presents when Zhou Miao scored higher than Yu Ying in the exams or won the drawing competition. Due to this, Yu Ying had been secretly trying very hard, swearing that she would surpass this younger sister. Now, even though she had clearly accomplished a lot, why did it still feel like she had to compete with Zhou Miao? Zhou Miao was in a good mood today and had a great appetite. She was feasting on the squirrel fish and didn¡¯t even look at Yu Ying. ¡°Little Miao hasn¡¯t come to look for me recently. I didn¡¯t realize you were accompanying Cheng Heng.¡± ¡°I was busy.¡± Zhou Miao didn¡¯t even raise her head. Not a single word of Yu Ying¡¯s trouble-stirring statements enter her mind. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you recently. When did you buy new jewelry? Why didn¡¯t you show them to me instead of hiding them in your clothes?¡± Zhou Miao had been wearing the bangle with the crystal mythical winged-lion that Mother Cheng had given her. When she heard Yu Ying¡¯s question, she took out the crystal bangle. Yu Ying stared at the bangle, her eyes flashing with disbelief. If she wasn¡¯t mistaken, this piece of crystal used to be Mother Cheng¡¯s dowry. It was a piece of crystal worth tens of millions. Mother Cheng had never been willing to make it into anything, but now she gave such a precious thing to Zhou Miao! Yu Ying raised her head to look at Zhou Miao¡¯s face. She then discovered something even more incredible. Chapter 19 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Zhou Miao still had that pale, wan appearance, and her face was still very haggard. However, her hair was black and shiny, like seaweed cascading down behind her. A few locks of bangs adorned her cheeks, which made her look a little delicate and pretty. Yu Ying felt alarmed and touched the longevity locket in her clothes. There was probably no connection. The longevity locket was still there, so she must be seeing things. ¡°Big Sister, what¡¯s the matter? You have been staring at me all day.¡± Zhou Miao raised her head and looked at Yu Ying with a steely gaze. ¡°Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you have time next week. The Yu family¡¯s holiday resort is opening for business. My parents intend to invite the rich and famous in Cirrus City to the banquet, and they hope you and Cheng Heng can attend.¡± It was not a big deal to attend her uncle¡¯s banquet, but it was a bit strange to invite Cheng Heng. With Cheng Heng¡¯s illness, he couldn¡¯t communicate with people normally. Due to this, he couldn¡¯t even go to work at the office of Cheng¡¯s Group. How could he possibly attend such a banquet? ¡°My parents also want to see you and Brother-in-law. Isn¡¯t Brother-in-law acting more normally recently? In this case¡­¡± ¡°Little Ying, if Little Miao isn¡¯t willing, then you don¡¯t have to make her bring Little Heng. The in-laws can¡¯t be so unreasonable, right?¡± Mother Cheng interrupted Yu Ying. What did she mean by normal? Did she know what she was saying? How could she be so stupid? ¡°I know. I¡¯m sorry, Mother.¡± Yu Ying quickly apologized. ¡°I¡¯ll bring Little Heng along. I¡¯d like to see my aunt too. I wonder how she¡¯s been doing lately.¡± Zhou Miao raised her head and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s fine, Mother. I will take good care of Little Heng.¡± Mother Cheng looked at Zhou Miao¡¯s determined expression and thought to herself that she really didn¡¯t choose the wrong daughter-in-law. ¡°Alright,¡± Mother Cheng agreed immediately. ¡°Then I¡¯ll get the company¡¯s stylists to come over next week. When the time comes, you and your husband will go there like a good-looking couple. You won¡¯t bring embarrassment to the Cheng family either.¡± On the day of the banquet, Zhou Miao regretted agreeing to Yu Ying¡¯s request a little. Cheng Heng was wearing a red plaid shirt and black slim-cut pants. He pushed the unmentionable red plaid costume Zhou Miao had bought earlier on her. ¡°This¡­¡± His eyes were bright, as if he knew he was going to some fun place. ¡°I¡¯ll wear this when it¡¯s just the two of us. I can¡¯t wear this outside.¡± Zhou Miao looked at Cheng Heng and frowned in warning. ¡°I can¡¯t wear this, okay? I can¡¯t.¡± Cheng Heng pursed his lips, looking as if he would not leave the house if Zhou Miao did not wear this plaid costume today. ¡°There are many bad people outside. It¡¯ll attract bad people if I wear this. They¡¯ll¡­ they¡¯ll come and take all your toys away, and then kidnap me.¡± Cheng Heng didn¡¯t know much about the world outside, so when he heard that they would snatch his toys away, he believed Zhou Miao¡¯s words. Eventually, he allowed Zhou Miao to wear the evening gown that she had ordered originally. It was a black and red gown with a matching shawl, which could enhance her somewhat shriveled figure. After putting on the clothes, Zhou Miao asked the make-up artist to help cover the small flaws on her face. After putting up the makeup, her face looked a little prettier, but she still looked a little haggard. ¡°Madam, don¡¯t stay up too late. Otherwise, you won¡¯t be able to cover up your dark circles,¡± said the makeup artist. ¡°Alright.¡± Ever since she had transmigrated here, she had slept well every day. How could the problem be due to her staying up all night? It seemed that she had to quickly regain her Good Luck Points and restore her appearance. The Yu family was not a wealthy family. In the past, they only had a little bit of money. They only secured the holiday resort project because of the Cheng family¡¯s influence. The rich and famous in Cirrus City also understood how this family rose to the top. Although they all came to congratulate them, the way they looked at Father Yu and Mother Yu was a little derisive. What ability could these people have when they relied on marrying their two daughters into a wealthy family to rise to the top? Furthermore, they made Zhou Miao marry that idiotic son of the Cheng family. Wasn¡¯t this more akin to selling his niece for glory? Before the banquet started, Mother Yu called Zhou Miao over and said she had something to give her. Zhou Miao was worried about Cheng Heng, so she arranged for Cheng Heng to sit at a table in the corner of the banquet. ¡°I¡¯m going to look for my aunt now. Little Heng, you stay here first. Don¡¯t move or run around, understand?¡± Cheng Heng looked at her and slowly nodded. Chapter 20 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Mother Yu brought Zhou Miao to a small room. This was probably the holiday resort¡¯s office. Once the door was closed, the noise from the banquet outside was cut off. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Aunt?¡± Mother Yu¡¯s full name was Song Hui. She was just like her name, kind and virtuous, so Zhou Miao did not bear any grudges against her. Song Hui took out a small box. Inside the box was a copper coin made of jade. The copper coin was wrapped with a red string. It looked like it had been around for some years. ¡°This is an item your father left behind that I found a few days ago.¡± She just found it a few days ago? Zhou Miao felt that this was a little strange. ¡°In the future, people will visit our house often, so your uncle and I renovated the house. Then, we found it in your parents¡¯ previous room.¡± Hearing this, Zhou Miao¡¯s frown deepened further. ¡°We also accidentally found a secret compartment on the wall in your father¡¯s study.¡± Zhou Miao¡¯s parents had passed away at an early age. At that time, they had given the company and the house to their younger sister and brother-in-law. All these years, they had lived together in the house of Zhou Miao¡¯s parents. Now that Zhou Miao was not staying there, they renovated the house that Zhou Miao¡¯s family had lived in before. Zhou Miao took the box and didn¡¯t say anything more. She only felt sad for the original owner. Someone suddenly knocked on the door of the small room. It was Yu Ying. ¡°Mom, Dad asked you to go out and have a drink with Cheng Tai.¡± Yu Ying was wearing a beige pearl cheongsam today, showing her fair, delicate skin and slim figure perfectly. Her hair was piled up high, making her look elegant and dignified. ¡°Little Miao is here too.¡± She looked at Zhou Miao and revealed a smile. ¡°Why didn¡¯t Little Miao watch over Brother-in-law carefully? Who knows whether Brother-in-law¡¯s illness may act up again if Little Miao is not around?¡± Zhou Miao looked at her icily and did not speak. It was Song Hui who tried to smooth things over. ¡°Yingying, don¡¯t say anymore. Your sister will feel sad. It¡¯s not easy for her to get rid of that idiot now that she¡¯s back.¡± This sentence made Zhou Miao understand some things. According to the original owner¡¯s memory, her aunt and uncle treated her very well. They were very considerate and caring, and would reward her when she achieved good results. They cared about her growth like real parents. Why, then, was Mother Yu mocking her now and renovating her house without her consent? It seemed that Song Hui was actually as bad as Yu Ying after all. She was just acting in front of the original owner so that she would be willing to marry an idiot. That was why the original owner had given up on herself. Zhou Miao recalled the scene she saw in her mind when she had just transmigrated. According to the original premise, after the original owner was robbed of everything, she finally left the Cheng family under the temptation of a profligate womanizer. Later, she died of alcohol poisoning and drug overdose, becoming a living joke in Cirrus City. She understood now. This time, she would not let them succeed. ¡°Cheng Heng is not an idiot,¡± Zhou Miao said slowly. ¡°Big Sister, you should take care of yourself. You don¡¯t even like to let your hair down anymore. Did you damage your hair when you permed it?¡± Zhou Miao looked at her hair that was bundled up, and noticed that her hair ends were a bit yellow and dry. She immediately understood what had happened. ¡°You¡­¡± Yu Ying was about to refute but was interrupted by Song Hui. ¡°Let¡¯s go out. We don¡¯t want to keep Cheng Tai waiting. We want to discuss our future cooperation with him.¡± Hearing the name Cheng Tai, a victorious smile appeared on Yu Ying¡¯s face. That was right. No matter what this younger sister said, Yu Ying was still the Eldest Young Mistress of the Cheng family and a famous designer too. It was better than marrying a trashy idiot. The banquet had been in progress for a while now. Zhou Miao walked out of the office and looked around, searching for Cheng Heng. At this moment, there was a slight commotion in the corner of the banquet hall. A waiter ¡®accidentally¡¯ spilled an entire tray of wine on Cheng Heng. Cheng Heng didn¡¯t have much of a reaction at first. However, the waiter kept wiping his clothes with a napkin and even knelt on the ground to apologize. The people around them were attracted to the man who was sitting in the same place in a daze. ¡°Which family¡¯s young master is this? How can he be so rude?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know? This is the idiot with autism, the one from the Cheng family.¡± ¡°Why did he come out to embarrass himself? Why didn¡¯t he stay at home?¡± The waiter did not seem to hear the guests¡¯ discussion. He even brought a glass of wine and placed it at the side, replacing the glass of water. ¡°I¡¯ll apologize to you. Please drink this glass and take it that you¡¯ve forgiven me.¡± Zhou Miao had instructed the service staff here in advance not to pour wine into Cheng Heng¡¯s glass. In Cheng Heng¡¯s condition, it was not suitable for him to drink, not to mention that Cheng Heng could not see or taste the difference between wine and other beverages. Cheng Heng didn¡¯t pay attention to these people and ate in a daze. He even lifted the glass of wine to his mouth. Chapter 21 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Don¡¯t drink!¡± By the time Zhou Miao rushed over, Cheng Heng had already drunk half a glass of wine, and his entire body was swaying slightly. Zhou Miao pulled the waiter away and glared at the people around them. When Cheng Heng saw her, his originally emotionless eyes slowly showed a little emotion. ¡°So spicy¡­¡± He looked at Zhou Miao, and there were some tears in his eyes. ¡°Spicy?¡± Spiciness was a sensation of pain. Logically speaking, Cheng Heng should not have tasted spiciness, so why did he suddenly feel that the wine was very spicy? Before Zhou Miao had time to be puzzled, Cheng Heng had already plastered his hot face onto Zhou Miao¡¯s hand dizzily. As he rubbed against her hand, he began tugging at his clothes. Zhou Miao saw that the situation wasn¡¯t progressing in a positive direction, so she asked the waiter to get her a room. The holiday resort wasn¡¯t open yet, so there were many empty rooms. When they got to the room, Cheng Heng was still in a dizzy state. Zhou Miao took off Cheng Heng¡¯s coat. The wine was also spilled on his pants, which needed to be cleaned immediately. Zhou Miao cupped Cheng Heng¡¯s face in her hands. ¡°Your pants are wet now. You have to take them off or you will catch a cold.¡± Cheng Heng was already dizzy from consuming the half glass of wine and did not know that he had to take off his pants. Instead, he kept rubbing his hand against Zhou Miao¡¯s hand, acting coquettishly as he rubbed. ¡°I miss¡­ Sister¡­¡± Zhou Miao had no other choice but to let this guy carry on in this manner. She reached out to help him take off his wet pants. When she was removing the pants, she couldn¡¯t avoid touching some unmentionable part. The actual size of that part made Zhou Miao¡¯s face turn red, and she felt like she was about to get drunk from that taste of alcohol as well. Cheng Heng obediently allowed Zhou Miao to take off his clothes. His eyes were misty, and he seemed to be on the verge of crying. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?¡± Zhou Miao looked at him and asked with concern. Cheng Heng looked at Zhou Miao, who was close to him, and reached out to hug her. Their bodies were entwined tightly together. Cheng Heng¡¯s body was almost naked, exuding the pheromonal scent of a mature man. The muscle lines on his arms were very attractive, and when he hugged her tightly, he exerted a little strength, which accentuated his muscles to perfection. ¡°If you¡¯re feeling unwell, let¡¯s go home first, okay?¡± Zhou Miao cajoled the other party in a low voice. His body temperature seemed to have been raised by the alcohol. Lying in his arms, the heat from his body surged over her body. Her face was already a little red, but now it was burning even more. ¡°Get up first.¡± ¡°Hug, hug¡­¡± Cheng Heng murmured in her ear uncomfortably, his hot breath blowing on her ear. Zhou Miao tried to hug Cheng Heng¡¯s waist gently. Cheng Heng rubbed against her hair in satisfaction and acted coyly, his breathing gradually calming down. Zhou Miao¡¯s hand touched the skin on Cheng Heng¡¯s waist, and she could feel it was so hot that it seemed to burn. Zhou Miao was a little dizzy. She didn¡¯t know what to do. Was she just going to let him hug her like this? Or should she do something else? [Master, congratulations! You obtained 6 smiley faces.] The hamster¡¯s voice interrupted Zhou Miao¡¯s thoughts. Zhou Miao raised her head and saw the small number 6 under the smiley face above Cheng Heng¡¯s head. Why was there a smiley face this time? Was it because he hugged her? Or was it because he had rubbed against her? Was it because she had taken off his clothes? Zhou Miao hugged Cheng Heng a little tighter, and the small number started to jump. 7¡­ 8¡­ The number rose rapidly and only stopped at 26. Zhou Miao was shocked. So she could obtain smiley faces like this! If physical contact could get her smiley faces so quickly, would she have to hug Cheng Heng more often in the future? This way, she would be able to earn enough smiley faces earlier. However, this sounded too evil. In terms of emotional development, Cheng Heng still seemed to be a child. Just as Zhou Miao was mulling over what to do, Cheng Heng seemed to have drifted off to sleep. Zhou Miao slowly disentangled herself from his embrace, straightened her clothes, and prepared to go out to find some clothes for Cheng Heng. In the banquet hall, she saw Yu Ying talking to the earlier waiter. True to Zhou Miao¡¯s expectation, Yu Ying was unwilling to give up any chance to embarrass her. [Hamster, Hamster.] [Yes, Master?] [I¡¯ll use 10 smiley faces to exchange for Good Luck Points.] [No problem.] ¡°You did well today. I¡¯ll transfer the payment to your card.¡± Yu Ying was talking to the waiter about what had happened today. All along, Yu Ying liked to use money to bribe these lower-level workers and make them do some dirty work. The waiter nodded in acknowledgment. He looked at the young, accomplished designer in front of him, who had a successful career and wonderful marriage at such a young age. He sighed in his heart, but he suddenly felt a little bewildered as he looked at Yu Ying. ¡°Miss Yu, is the mole on your face natural?¡± Chapter 22 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Yu Ying was stunned. ¡°What do you mean?¡± The waiter smiled in embarrassment. ¡°I always thought that the mole in the middle of your cheek was natural, but it seems that your makeup has fallen off.¡± He was still a little afraid of exposing someone with an almost perfect persona. Yu Ying narrowed her eyes and took out a small mirror from her bag. She still had that fair and delicate face with exquisite facial features and contours, but the small signature mole in the middle of her cheek seemed to be gone. The mirror shook and reflected the longevity locket on her chest. The silver longevity locket seemed to have turned vaguely black. It must be because she didn¡¯t maintain it regularly. Silver accessories were prone to oxidation. It seemed that if the longevity locket got knocked around just a bit, it would affect the items she was stealing. It did not matter. She just had to take care of it, and those things would still be hers. Yu Ying took out an eyeliner from her bag, looked in the mirror, and drew the small beauty mole on her cheek. At this moment, Zhou Miao had already found a set of clothes for Cheng Heng. Walking into the room, she saw Cheng Heng sitting there in a daze. His upper body was naked while his lower body was covered by a blanket. ¡°Are you feeling better? I¡¯ve found some clothes. Let¡¯s go home now.¡± Cheng Heng raised his head and gazed at her. His dazed eyes brightened for a moment, and he stared at her face for a long time without moving. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there something on my face?¡± Zhou Miao touched her own face and asked. Cheng Heng¡¯s hand gently touched a part of her cheek. ¡°It has changed back.¡± His words did not make any sense at all. Had her appearance changed back? She had only recovered 10% of her looks. Surely the change could not be that great? ¡°Put on your clothes first. Let¡¯s go home.¡± Zhou Miao carried the clothes and comforted Cheng Heng in a low voice. Cheng Heng looked at her and suddenly pulled her into his arms. Caught off guard, she sat on Cheng Heng¡¯s lap suddenly. Zhou Miao jumped in shock and hurriedly broke free, stuffing the clothes into Cheng Heng¡¯s arms. ¡°Change into your new clothes first. I¡¯m going to the bathroom.¡± Did she¡­ touch something just now? Zhou Miao stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, looking at her own flushed face. Cheng Heng¡¯s sudden action frightened her, and the thing she touched also made her feel a moment of fear. Too many things had happened tonight, and she felt that her thoughts were a mess. In the mirror, her face was still rough and haggard, but there seemed to be something different about it. Zhou Miao scrutinized herself carefully and found that there was a small mole in the middle of her left cheek. This small mole added a touch of coyness and made her bland face more recognizable. Was Cheng Heng referring to this mole when he said it had changed back? Zhou Miao walked out of the bathroom. Cheng Heng had already put on his clothes, but his face and the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he looked extremely aggrieved. ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± Zhou Miao held his hand and locked her fingers with his, pulling him out of the room. ¡°Madam, Zhou Miao and the Second Young Master have gone home.¡± The waiter said in a low voice as he poured wine into Yu Ying¡¯s glass. ¡°Has the Second Young Master gone crazy?¡± ¡°No, he only threw a tantrum in front of some guests and didn¡¯t do anything else after that.¡± Yu Ying furrowed her brows. Initially, she had thought that she could embarrass him, but she did not expect that this Zhou Miao was actually able to soothe the drunk Cheng Heng. Not only had she changed, but she had also become smarter. ¡°Ms. Yu, thank you for your invitation. I thank you on behalf of the Business Alliance of Port City.¡± A man¡¯s voice suddenly rang out behind her. ¡°Ms. Yu, thank you very much. Although Port City and Cirrus City are very far apart, the Business Alliance of Port City would love to have the opportunity to collaborate with the Cheng¡¯s Group, Ms. Yu.¡± The one who spoke was one of the invited guests to this banquet. He was called Andy, and his Chinese name was not known. It was said that he hailed from an old aristocratic family in Port City. His family had connections with corporations dealing with foreign capital. His family business was vast and powerful, but his identity was mysterious. ¡°I¡¯m also looking forward to it.¡± Yu Ying was very happy to receive appreciation from such a character. She clinked glasses with the man and smiled politely. The next second, she saw the jade coin hanging on the man¡¯s body. Under the dazzling light of the banquet hall, it exuded a warm glow. Wasn¡¯t this the item that was found in Zhou Miao¡¯s house earlier? Yu Ying looked at the jade coin in a daze, and some images suddenly flashed in front of her eyes. Zhou Miao was standing in an ancient, traditional large mansion. Everyone was surrounding her like stars surrounding the moon. There was an elder beside her holding her hand, sobbing silently. There was a red string in front of her chest, and on the red string was the jade coin. Chapter 23 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After the banquet, Zhou Miao kept Cheng Heng company as he worked during the day and spent several peaceful days. Although Cheng Heng¡¯s illness was very serious and he had difficulty communicating with people, he was very talented in drawing and design. He also majored in design at university and was very gifted in designing furniture and trendy toys. After graduating from university, he had worked in the company for a while, but because of his illness, he couldn¡¯t even do this job anymore. He could only return home first to do some design. Cheng Tai was now in charge of marketing and sales. It could be said that Cheng¡¯s Group relied on the two designers, Cheng Heng and Yu Ying, to produce good products. Knock! Knock! Zhou Miao opened the door. It was Yu Ying. She was standing at the door with a plate of carp pancakes. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°We haven¡¯t chatted for a long time. I don¡¯t have much to do at the company these two days, so I thought of having a chat with you.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± Zhou Miao searched through the original owner¡¯s memories. In the original owner¡¯s memories, this older sister had mocked her quite a few times, whether implicitly or explicitly. Those seemingly warm words of comfort were full of condescension towards the original owner in reality. It was no wonder the original owner chose to run away in such a situation. ¡°I¡¯m keeping Cheng Heng company. I¡¯m not free.¡± Zhou Miao closed the door in a bad mood. ¡°Wait! There¡¯s something I want to talk to you about.¡± Yu Ying stopped her from closing the door. ¡°Mom said that Uncle and Aunt left you a jade coin. I have a friend who does appraisals for jade accessories. I was thinking of taking it for an appraisal¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s a memento from my parents. Would I care if it¡¯s real jade? Or are you telling me I should sell this?¡± Zhou Miao had never heard of such a flimsy excuse. ¡°No, although it¡¯s a memento, it¡¯s always good to ascertain its value.¡± ¡°No, thanks.¡± Zhou Miao¡¯s voice was icy cold. ¡°But I have a friend who specializes in repairing silver accessories. Your longevity locket looks a little blackened. Do you want me to help you get it repaired?¡± Yu Ying covered the longevity locket on her chest and took a step back. ¡°I¡¯ll find a professional to fix it. You don¡¯t have to worry about it. Have an early rest.¡± Zhou Miao gave her a meaningful look, then walked past her and re-entered the bedroom. Once inside the bedroom, she looked at the jade coin in her hand. This jade coin must have some special meaning, or Yu Ying wouldn¡¯t be so anxious to snatch it. ¡°Little Heng, do you have a safe or something? It¡¯s a place where you keep your treasures and don¡¯t let others see them.¡± Cheng Heng looked at her for a while, then silently opened the cabinet under the desk. There was a box inside with a combination lock. ¡°I¡¯m going to put my things in there for a while. Help me keep them safe.¡± There wasn¡¯t much in the box except for a few gold bars and a stack of yellowed books, one of which was emitting a golden light. Had she found a token? [Congratulations, Master. You have found the 4th token. This time, you need 15 smiley faces for this transmigration mission. Do you wish to exchange?] Such a coincidence. It must be heaven¡¯s will! Exchange, exchange, exchange! Zhou Miao cheered in her heart. Ding, ring, ring¡­ The ear-piercing ringing of the elementary school bell woke Zhou Miao up from her sleep. This time, she woke up in a primary school. The school was decorated in a western style, with white roofs and red walls. It appeared very classy. ¡°We can just put our names on the idiot¡¯s homework. He can¡¯t speak anyway, so we won¡¯t be exposed.¡± ¡°I want the book for art homework.¡± ¡°I want the math exercises book. I didn¡¯t do any homework during the summer break.¡± The place she had transmigrated to was the art studio at the end of the corridor. Two children in the fourth or fifth grade were tearing open the exercise books in their hands and wrapping them with another cover on the outside. During Zhou Miao¡¯s school days, she had encountered some students ripping out the inner pages of other students¡¯ homework books, then wrapping them with external covers that had their own names on them, pretending that they had already done their homework. This was especially prevalent for homework issued for summer and winter vacations. The teacher usually wouldn¡¯t look at the specific content. He would simply give a quick glance and be done with it. These two children were too mean. How could they do this? ¡°What are you looking at? You¡¯re an idiot. Even if you don¡¯t do your homework, the teacher won¡¯t scold you.¡± One of the boys shouted at the other side of the classroom. ¡°I don¡¯t dare to call him an idiot. He even wrote our names into the duty roster book when he was on duty last semester. Also, he often scored 100 points in mathematics. I don¡¯t know if he¡¯s really an idiot or just pretending.¡± Another boy said as he tugged at the child who was scolding out loud. Looking in the direction they were staring at, there was a little boy standing by the window. The golden rays of the autumn sun shone on his face, and he sported a round mushroom head hairstyle. His entire person was in a daze. It was Little Cheng Heng. The two boys locked the classroom door after splitting the loot. Zhou Miao grabbed Cheng Heng¡¯s hand to try and push open the door, but the door was securely locked by the two and did not move an inch. Chapter 24 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Zhou Miao pulled Little Cheng Heng¡¯s hand and knocked on the door. No one heard the knocking from here, probably because the students outside were having a free period to do whatever they wanted. Cheng Heng stood where he was and did not pick up his school bag or look at his torn homework book. He only stared fixedly at Zhou Miao. ¡°I¡¯m Sister Angel. Do you still remember me?¡± Zhou Miao looked at him. Cheng Heng pursed his lips. ¡°Sister Angel¡­¡± ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Seeing that Cheng Heng remembered her name, Zhou Miao felt somewhat proud. ¡°Do they take your homework and divide it up every time? Just like what happened earlier?¡± Cheng Heng reverted to his silent and dazed appearance. ¡°You have to know that what they¡¯re doing is wrong. They want you to get scolded by the teacher, which is not a good thing. Besides, if the drawings and questions that you worked so hard to complete were taken away by them, you¡¯ll have nothing left. Do you understand?¡± Zhou Miao half-squatted in front of Little Cheng Heng, gently pinching his chubby face. ¡°Next time, if they try to steal your homework again, you have to tell your mommy and the teacher, understand?¡± Cheng Heng nodded doubtfully, as if he didn¡¯t quite understand. ¡°Cheng Heng, why are you here? It¡¯s time to hand in your homework. Where¡¯s your homework?¡± The door to the art classroom was pushed open, and a girl in a school uniform stood outside. The girl was probably the daughter of some wealthy family. Her skin was fair, and she was sporting a princess¡¯s hairdo. Her eyes and brows were exquisite, and she had a kind of petulant air about her that came from being raised in a rich family. ¡°Why did they lock you here again? I¡¯ll go and tell the teacher!¡± The little girl saw the scattered books and stationery on the ground. She picked them up and handed them to Cheng Heng with a frown. ¡°Why don¡¯t you hit them? They bully you like this every day!¡± The girl looked at Cheng Heng. Cheng Heng was still standing in the same place, his eyes as calm as an ancient well. ¡°Come back to the classroom with me first.¡± The girl pushed the door open and walked out. Cheng Heng stood in the same place without moving. ¡°Little Heng, let¡¯s go back to the classroom first, okay?¡± Little Cheng Heng nodded slightly and followed the little girl. ¡°Cheng Heng, why aren¡¯t you saying anything? Where¡¯s your homework?¡± The little girl kept talking along the way. ¡°Those naughty boys are bullying you. You should be fighting them!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve been silent all this time. I saved you. Why aren¡¯t you saying thank you?¡± The little girl pouted and complained with a face full of displeasure, but the corners of her mouth were slightly curled up. Zhou Miao could tell that this little girl seemed to like Little Cheng Heng quite a bit. ¡°Cheng Heng, you have to repay me in the future. I was the one who saved you!¡± The little girl stood at the door of the classroom and instructed Cheng Heng. Zhou Miao laughed in spite of herself. A child¡¯s adoration was still very cute. If only Cheng Heng could act like a normal child, then he would probably have many friends like this little girl. ¡°Bai Yang, have you found Cheng Heng?¡± The form teacher asked the little girl. ¡°Have you finished collecting the homework?¡± ¡°Teacher, someone locked Cheng Heng in the art classroom. He hasn¡¯t given me his homework.¡± Bai Yang seemed to be the class monitor of this class. ¡°Cheng Heng, where¡¯s your homework?¡± Cheng Heng didn¡¯t respond and simply sat in front of his desk. ¡°Little Heng, tell them that your homework was taken away by those few students.¡± Zhou Miao used his finger to point at those naughty boys for Cheng Heng to see. Those naughty boys were all sitting up straight with righteous looks on their faces. How could they be so naughty at such a young age! ¡°Snatched away¡­¡± Cheng Heng¡¯s voice was very soft, but the teacher still heard him. ¡°Snatched away?¡± The teacher looked at Cheng Heng with a puzzled look. ¡°It was those two students. Tell the teacher they snatched it.¡± Zhou Miao said anxiously by Cheng Heng¡¯s ear. Cheng Heng slowly stretched out his hand and pointed at the two naughty boys. ¡°Them.¡± Zhou Miao thought that this time, Cheng Heng only needed to identify the two children. ¡°We didn¡¯t! The idiot is talking nonsense!¡± The little boy who was pointed out immediately stood up and said loudly. ¡°Yes, Teacher. We did the homework together during the summer break. We can vouch for each other.¡± The other child looked at Cheng Heng with resentment. ¡°It must be because Cheng Heng accused us of not following the school rules the last time he was on duty, and this time he wants to slander us for not doing homework!¡± Cheng Heng looked at them without any reaction. So it was this sort of collective bullying. No normal student would be able to refute this sort of allegation, let alone someone in Cheng Heng¡¯s condition. ¡°Bai Yang, go to Class Five in sixth grade and call Cheng Heng¡¯s brother over.¡± Zhou Miao frowned. Shouldn¡¯t such matters be investigated carefully before being dealt with? Cheng Tai was also an elementary school student, but he was one grade higher than them. What was the use of calling him? Chapter 25 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°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. Chapter 26 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The curtains in the classroom fluttered as the wind blew, and Zhou Miao gazed outside in boredom. This class was an art lesson. Cheng Heng was drawing, and he was still drawing that bear. However, Little Bear¡¯s clothes were torn and tattered, and he looked aggrieved. Zhou Miao looked at Cheng Heng¡¯s drawing and kept thinking that this bear looked very familiar. Its eyes were spaced wide apart, and it had round ears and an unhappy drooping mouth, very much like the one Cheng Heng hugged to sleep. The scene in front of Zhou Miao shook and became a little blurry. Zhou Miao stroked Little Cheng Heng¡¯s face. ¡°See you next time, Little Heng.¡± Cheng Heng¡¯s hand didn¡¯t stop drawing. When he finished the last stroke and looked to the side, there was only the curtain being stirred up by the wind. ¡°I don¡¯t see¡­ Sister Angel¡­¡± On the completed drawing, there was a Little Bear with wings. When Zhou Miao woke up, Cheng Heng had already returned from his walk. The sun outside was very pleasant today, with the rays streaming through the curtains and scattering on the bed. Cheng Heng sat on the bed and looked at her with a long face. Zhou Miao pinched his face without realizing what she was doing. Cheng Heng was already a twenty-year-old man. He had already grown up, and his face no longer had the baby fat of Little Cheng Heng. Cheng Heng¡¯s face was dyed a faint red because of Zhou Miao¡¯s actions. ¡°Feeling shy?¡± Zhou Miao was probably not very clear-headed after waking up, as she reached out and pinched Cheng Heng¡¯s face again. The expression above Cheng Heng¡¯s head suddenly turned into a smiley face. She tried to pinch his face again, and the number of smiley faces increased to 5. Good heavens! So he liked physical contact? The last time she hugged him, it was the same. This time, it was the same when she pinched his face¡­ ¡°Morning.¡± Zhou Miao rubbed and flattened Cheng Heng¡¯s face a few more times, but the number of smiley faces no longer increased. Zhou Miao caressed his hair and got out of bed. The voice of the hamster suddenly rang in her mind. [Master, you need 30 smiley faces for the next mission. You can start saving up now.] 30? Profiteer! Zhou Miao was punching the hamster wildly in her heart, then she suddenly thought of something else. [Can this smiley face be exchanged for materializing a physical body in the mission?] Zhou Miao recalled that when she pushed over the vase, her hand had indeed touched the vase. [Yes, the exchange rate is 1 smiley face for 1 minute.] [Then why wasn¡¯t I discovered just now?] Zhou Miao asked. [I was afraid that you would be discovered just now, so I interrupted the materialization. So now, there are still 20 seconds left. You don¡¯t have to use up the time you exchanged for in one go. You can interrupt and stack it up as you wish.] The hamster explained. [However, if you get injured or die there, your wounds will also be brought back to the real world.] [Die?] Zhou Miao was a little doubtful. Were there such dangerous missions? [Yes, the missions further down will be more dangerous. It may even be life-threatening.] Zhou Miao sighed deeply. So that was how things were? It seemed that she had to learn some martial arts to protect herself. [If I bring something over, will it also materialize?] [Yes.] Zhou Miao thought that maybe she should think of a way to get some self-defense weapons to bring over in case of an emergency. Zhou Miao thought about this as she went downstairs, and she bumped into Mother Cheng downstairs. ¡°Good Morning, Mother.¡± Mother Cheng looked at her and smiled. ¡°I just heard from Little Ying that Little Heng drank alcohol at the banquet yesterday. Fortunately, you were there. Otherwise, I don¡¯t know what kind of trouble would have happened.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my duty.¡± Zhou Miao nodded and smiled. Mother Cheng took out a small box. Inside the box was a pair of pearl ear studs. The color was shiny and smooth, sparkling with a dazzling luster. ¡°This was given to me by a sponsor a few days ago. I noticed that you don¡¯t usually wear jewelry, so I am giving it to you. Take it as a token of my gratitude for taking care of Little Heng.¡± ¡°Mother, these are all things I should do.¡± Zhou Miao did not want to turn the task of taking care of Cheng Heng into something that could be used to exchange for material benefits. Although Zhou Miao treated Cheng Heng as a mission at the beginning, after these few missions, her feelings towards Cheng Heng had changed somewhat. Little Cheng Heng, who had sealed himself in a small world, and Cheng Heng, who held his own world in a daze, both occupied very different places in her heart. ¡°It¡¯s fine. You can keep it. Our Cheng family¡¯s daughter-in-law also deserves this good jewelry.¡± Mother Cheng placed the box in Zhou Miao¡¯s hands. ¡°Good Morning, Mother. Good Morning, Little Sister.¡± Yu Ying happened to go downstairs at this time and saw this scene. Her expression changed slightly, but she didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Little Ying, did you deal with the waiter who spilled wine on Little Heng?¡± ¡°It¡¯s been settled. Don¡¯t worry, Mother.¡± Yu Ying omitted the details of how she settled the matter. ¡°Little Sister, this ear stud looks like it is of good quality, but the jade coin that my mother gave you last time is also very nice. Why aren¡¯t you wearing the jade coin?¡± Chapter 27 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Yu Ying had been so anxious about not being able to get the jade coin that she didn¡¯t sleep last night. Now that Mother Cheng was here, she wanted to see what secrets the jade coin held. ¡°Why would I bring so much jewelry with me?¡± Zhou Miao laughed, staring at Yu Ying with icy cold eyes. ¡°What jade coin?¡± Mother Cheng asked. ¡°It¡¯s a memento left behind by my parents. Big Sister wants to get an expert to appraise it for me.¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s a memento, just keep it well. Didn¡¯t the Cheng¡¯s Group and the Bai Corporation have a jewelry collaboration recently? The Bai Corporation is a very established company in the production of jade accessories. Whatever design you want, just discuss it with them.¡± Mother Cheng looked at Yu Ying. Although Yu Ying came from a humble family, she had always been careful with her words and actions. She was well-behaved and polite. Mother Cheng didn¡¯t understand why she was so anxious to see her little sister¡¯s belongings. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m just curious. Since it¡¯s a memento, then Little Sister should take good care of it. It¡¯s my fault for not handling this matter well.¡± Yu Ying could no longer maintain the smile on her face. Just then, Yu Ying¡¯s phone rang suddenly. It was her Special Assistant who was usually in charge of managing her schedule. ¡°Assistant Su, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Director Yu, please come to the company. There are some problems with the latest product.¡± Yu Ying¡¯s eyes darkened. Ever since she had stolen Zhou Miao¡¯s appearance and talent, her design ability had improved by leaps and bounds. Her works were usually sold out once they were launched. What was going on this time? She grabbed her bag and ran out in a hurry. She didn¡¯t see Zhou Miao, who was staring at her back, nor did she notice her appearance in the mirror at the entrance. [Smiley face exchange completed. Reminder again, the next mission requires 30 smiley faces. The current number of smiley faces is 0.] Zhou Miao sat in front of the vanity mirror and looked at her own face. It seemed that her fatigue and edema had been reduced a lot, and she looked a little more energetic. [Why did I only get a mole from 10 smiley faces last time, but this time, with 5 smiley faces, my entire complexion and constitution have changed for the better?] [I¡¯m not sure about the specific mechanism. It¡¯s random every time. Maybe it is determined by the level of importance the Master assigned to the facial features.] Level of importance? Was this mole more important to the original owner than her appearance? Zhou Miao didn¡¯t understand. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Half an hour after launch, the sales for the new product was only 5 sets?¡± Looking at the data handed over by her assistant, Yu Ying felt her head buzzing. ¡°Are there any abnormalities in the number of views and exposure? Did the promotion and server operations go according to the original plan?¡± ¡°It had three million views in the first half hour, but the sales were quite low. The view stats are almost zero now.¡± Yu Ying switched on her iPad and browsed through the promotional images, but she couldn¡¯t figure out what went wrong. Knock! Knock! There was knocking on the office door. The director of the public relations department stood in front of Yu Ying. ¡°Director Yu, many fans said that our products are ugly after they were launched for sale. Our reputation is getting worse and worse. If this continues, I¡¯m afraid that those who bought our products before will want to return them.¡± Yu Ying was furious as she gazed at the sad-looking teddy bear toy on the website. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the product this time? It¡¯s still the same quality and design. Don¡¯t you think it looks good? Doesn¡¯t it look good?¡± The Special Assistant and the public relations director exchanged glances with each other, and neither of them dared to speak first. ¡°People nowadays are getting more and more difficult to please.¡± Yu Ying threw her belongings on the floor violently. ¡°This time, we¡¯d better use designer Cheng Heng¡¯s work. Produce a new series as soon as possible. I¡¯ll redesign it here and give you the design draft later.¡± Yu Ying said as she turned on her computer and drawing tablet. As a talented genius designer, she had never been so humiliated before. ¡°Director Yu, you don¡¯t have to worry. Designer Cheng Heng still has many designs. It would be best if you rested for a while. You don¡¯t look too good.¡± Yu Ying frowned. She didn¡¯t look good? How could this be? Ever since she possessed Zhou Miao¡¯s looks, her complexion had always been very good, and her skin had been rosy. How could such a thing happen? She flipped open the small mirror in front of the desk and looked at her face. Even with the liquid foundation, her face was still very pale. The dark circles and laugh wrinkles couldn¡¯t be concealed, and her originally tight face even showed signs of edema. How could this happen? She was the most beautiful designer. How did she become so haggard-looking? Chapter 28 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°You guys can go out first. Special Assistant Su, please help me make an appointment with some beauty services. I need to rest for a while, so we¡¯ll use Cheng Heng¡¯s designs first.¡± Special Assistant Su and the public relations director looked at each other, then walked out of the office. ¡°I used to think that Director Yu was a fairy who could design and maintain herself so well. She worked with President Cheng in such perfect harmony too.¡± ¡°Sigh! She¡¯s just an ordinary person who¡¯s more hardworking than us, so she¡¯ll definitely be tired at some point. Besides, President Cheng didn¡¯t like her simply because of her beauty. I heard that she¡¯s a great benefactor to President Cheng.¡± ¡°Sigh! Director Yu¡¯s life is so blessed.¡± The stylus pen glided across the tablet, and the little bear on the computer screen appeared to be in a daze. It didn¡¯t have its original spirit, and the modeling didn¡¯t look harmonious. ¡°What¡¯s going on? This isn¡¯t my original design level.¡± Yu Ying frowned. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me? Why can¡¯t I create the original work? Why is it so strange?¡± She took out the longevity locket that she was wearing, and sure enough, there was a big black patch on it. Did her talent disappear because of this flaw? How did this happen? Yu Ying was originally a student with average grades in the design college. She was only at the level of an ordinary designer. She had relied on the talent she got from Zhou Miao to achieve her current accomplishment. Now, all these things seemed to have been returned to the owner. How could this be? Yu Ying threw her stylus on the desk, suppressing her urge to sweep everything on the desk to the floor in a fury. She was now the most beautiful designer in Cirrus City and the wife of the Cheng family¡¯s eldest young master. Even if she stopped designing in the future, she still had her husband and this face. She touched her face, and a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes. No, it was impossible for her not to do design. These things were all hers! They were all hers! ¡°Little Miao, come here. This is the company¡¯s financial report for this month. I¡¯ll let you have a look too. In the future, if there¡¯s a chance, you can learn how to run a company too.¡± Mother Cheng placed the documents in front of Zhou Miao. ¡°Recently, Cheng Heng¡¯s illness has improved a lot. I was thinking that he could return to the company to work. If he does, you can also do some related work.¡± Zhou Miao was a little surprised. She was only a student at a design college. Surely she did not have the authority to touch such documents? Mother Cheng saw her confusion and smiled. ¡°The Cheng family runs a big business, and I hope that you and Little Heng can help to run the business. The Cheng family business is the blood, sweat, and tears of his father and I.¡± Zhou Miao understood Mother Cheng¡¯s unspoken meaning. Although the Cheng parents had handed over the management of the company to Cheng Tai, they were still not at ease. Cheng Tai wasn¡¯t their biological child, so Mother Cheng must have some misgivings. Zhou Miao looked at the strange share ratio on the financial report and was a little confused. ¡°Why is our share only 10% for this collaboration with the Bai family?¡± Mother Cheng sighed. ¡°It¡¯s a long story. We owe the Bai family a debt of gratitude. Speaking of which, we¡¯re going to have a meal with the Bai family in two days. Cheng Heng will also be there, so I¡¯ll leave him in your care.¡± Zhou Miao saw an unfamiliar name in the column for the person in charge of Bai Corporation. The unfamiliar name was glowing. Was this a token? The person in charge of the Bai family was actually a young girl? Zhou Miao looked at the elegant woman across the dining table and was slightly puzzled. She felt that the girl in front of her looked familiar. ¡°My brother is ill this year, and my parents went back to their hometown to deal with some matters, so I¡¯m the only one here for dinner.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, Little Yang. It¡¯s hard on you too to support the Bai family all by yourself.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Uncle Cheng and Aunt Su¡¯s care that our Bai family can continue to operate like before. However, I have never met Sister-in-law ever since Brother Cheng Heng got married. After our meeting today, she¡¯s indeed special.¡± The woman raised her wine glass at Zhou Miao. Her eyes were smiling, but there was a tinge of resignation. Zhou Miao suddenly understood who she was. Although her facial features had developed after growing up, she could still figure out what the woman looked like when she was young. She was Bai Yang, the little girl who unlocked the classroom door for Cheng Heng! ¡°You too, Miss Bai Yang.¡± Zhou Miao raised her glass towards her from afar. ¡°Little Yang, are you still single? Aunt can help you find a blind date.¡± Mother Cheng entertained Bai Yang warmly. Bai Yang¡¯s eyes seemed to sweep over Cheng Heng in a half-hearted manner, and the light in her eyes dimmed. ¡°It¡¯s fine. After breaking off the engagement with Brother Cheng Heng that year, I no longer think about this matter. The most important thing for me now is to take good care of Big Brother. If Big Brother doesn¡¯t recover, I can¡¯t be at ease.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really hard to recover from that illness. It¡¯s better for Little Yang to start a family as soon as possible¡­¡± ¡°Engagement?¡± Zhou Miao heard the keyword. Had this Bai Yang always been engaged to Cheng Heng? Chapter 29 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Zhou Miao turned her head to look at Cheng Heng. Cheng Heng was focused on dealing with the rabbit-shaped coconut bar dessert on the plate as if everything else on the table had nothing to do with him. Zhou Miao reached out to grab his hand and asked in a small voice, ¡°You were engaged to Bai Yang?¡± Zhou Miao¡¯s ear was leaning close to Cheng Heng¡¯s ear, and Cheng Heng¡¯s ear was suddenly flushed slightly. He didn¡¯t speak, but the expression above his head turned into a big smiley face. Huh? Was it because of Bai Yang? ¡°I was engaged to Cheng Heng since I was a child, and I¡¯ve liked him since young.¡± After finishing their meal, when the car drove over, Bai Yang suddenly said. ¡°I¡¯ve liked him since I was a child, and I also knew what problems he had. I¡¯ve always thought that he would definitely recover.¡± Her voice trailed off. ¡°So you canceled the engagement because of this?¡± Bai Yang shook her head. ¡°Didn¡¯t Mother Cheng tell you?¡± Tell her what? Zhou Miao was feeling even more confused. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You don¡¯t need to know all this. Even if the incident with my brother didn¡¯t happen, I would still not marry Cheng Heng.¡± Her eyes were a little sad as she said this while looking at Cheng Heng. ¡°Cheng Heng, do you still remember who I am?¡± Cheng Heng didn¡¯t look at her as if he didn¡¯t understand what she was saying. ¡°He doesn¡¯t remember who I am. With his illness, there¡¯s no way he would care about someone he was not interested in.¡± Bai Yang¡¯s smile looked somewhat desolate. ¡°The scenery at the Bai family¡¯s holiday resort is very nice. If you have time, you can bring Cheng Heng there to visit. I will definitely give you a warm welcome.¡± Zhou Miao didn¡¯t know what this girl had experienced, but looking at her appearance, she felt her heart choking up. The Bai family¡¯s car arrived. Bai Yang smiled at her, got in the car, and left. When Bai Yang arrived home, Bai Yue was sitting on the sofa in the living room. His empty eyes were unfocused as he slowly groped around on the coffee table. ¡°Brother, what are you looking for?¡± Bai Yang hurriedly ran over. ¡°I want to watch TV for a while. Can you help me find the remote control?¡± Bai Yue stood up and stiffly turned his head to look for Bai Yang¡¯s position. His eyes were big and very beautiful, but his eyeballs were trembling, and his eyelids were drooping. ¡°In the future, just leave this kind of thing to the maids. You don¡¯t have to do it yourself.¡± Bai Yang turned on the television and helped Bai Yue to the sofa. ¡°The doctor said that the blood clot in my head won¡¯t go away. I¡¯m destined to be blind for the rest of my life. How can I not learn to be independent?¡± Bai Yue¡¯s face carried a helpless smile. ¡°Besides, I still have to go to the company in the future. I can¡¯t let you carry the burden of the Bai family alone.¡± Bai Yue reached out and touched his younger sister¡¯s face. ¡°It¡¯s alright, Little Sister. I can do it.¡± Bai Yang turned around and wiped away her tears. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Brother. If it weren¡¯t for that incident, you wouldn¡¯t be like this¡­¡± she said. If it wasn¡¯t for her stubbornness back then, how would her big brother have turned into a blind man who couldn¡¯t take care of himself? ¡°The Cheng family has tried their best to compensate us, but it¡¯s God¡¯s will that I became sick. There¡¯s no need to feel bad about it,¡± said Bai Yue. ¡°Besides, if it weren¡¯t for me, you would have married Cheng Heng by now. I¡¯m at fault in this matter too. Little Yang, don¡¯t make things difficult for yourself.¡± Bai Yang nodded her head and softly acknowledged him. Zhou Miao and Cheng Heng took another car back home. Cheng Heng leaned close to Zhou Miao, and it seemed that he was even leaning his head on her. Zhou Miao¡¯s thoughts were interrupted by his actions. She was initially engrossed in thinking about what had happened to Bai Yang¡¯s older brother, but the round head that suddenly leaned over caught her off guard. ¡°Little Heng, is there something between you and Bai Yang¡¯s older brother?¡± She leaned in and whispered in Cheng Heng¡¯s ear. Cheng Heng didn¡¯t speak, but the expression above his head turned into a smiley face again. Damn it! Was this man having a reaction to the name Bai Yang? Could it be that he liked Bai Yang in the past? Zhou Miao dragged herself away from Cheng Heng to create some distance, feeling slightly angry. Looking at Zhou Miao¡¯s expression, the expression above Cheng Heng¡¯s head changed from a smiley face to one of an aggrieved look. ¡°What are you feeling aggrieved for? I should be the one feeling aggrieved. Why weren¡¯t we engaged? ¡± When Zhou Miao said these words, even she herself was shocked. Although she had gotten along very well with Cheng Heng during this period and had also discovered the cute side of this man, was she jealous now? ¡°I¡¯m not.¡± Cheng Heng looked at her and pursed his lips, and his face became synchronized with the aggrieved expression above his head. ¡°Then, can you tell me what happened between you and Bai Yang¡¯s older brother?¡± Zhou Miao asked. Cheng Heng only stubbornly stuck his face close to her as if hoping that Zhou Miao could talk to him by his ear. Zhou Miao took a deep breath and asked beside his ear, ¡°Did something happen between you and Bai Yang¡¯s older brother? ¡± Cheng Heng¡¯s face instantly turned red, and the tips of his ears turned pink. Chapter 30 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation No way! Did Cheng Heng really like Bai Yang? ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Cheng Heng slowly opened his mouth, and after he finished speaking, he turned his head around and rubbed the tip of his ear lightly against Zhou Miao¡¯s lips which were very close to his face. The smiley face above his head had its mouth wide open and was laughing so hard that one could almost see its stomach. The number on the lower right corner was also jumping madly. Was this guy teasing her? Zhou Miao¡¯s thoughts were quickly dispelled. Cheng Heng didn¡¯t understand things like the love between men and women, so how could he tease people? Furthermore, after saying this, Cheng Heng sat back down with a red face, but his face was still blank. It seemed that she wouldn¡¯t be able to get anything else from Cheng Heng, but she had another discovery. It seemed that Cheng Heng liked it when she touched his ear, and a smiley face would appear whenever she touched it. Zhou Miao felt as if she had found the password to unlock abundant wealth. When they got home, Yu Ying was sitting by the coffee table making tea. When she saw Father Cheng and Mother Cheng, she smiled warmly. ¡°Father, Mother, I¡¯ve made some tea. It¡¯s Da Hong Pao oolong tea, which my parents just sent over today.¡± Mother Cheng looked at Yu Ying and smiled with gratification. ¡°You¡¯re so busy with work, yet you still take the trouble to make tea for us.¡± ¡°It¡¯s almost year-end. I wanted to take a break, so I came to pay my respects to you two.¡± She had an elegant smile on her face, but Zhou Miao could see that there was something unusual hidden under her smile. To be honest, Yu Ying¡¯s foundation was too thick today, and her face seemed a little swollen. She did not appear as noble and gentle as before. In fact, she looked a little more haggard. Her long hair, which she used to let down, was now coiled on the top of her head and a few locks of tangled and withered yellow hair peeped out from under the hair net. Yu Ying¡¯s original appearance wasn¡¯t stunning. Her parents¡¯ looks were just ordinary. She simply inherited their strengths and was a little better looking than ordinary people. Moreover, in the past, Yu Ying was weaker than Zhou Miao in everything. Therefore she was depressed and dazed, and had a tired and aggressive look on her face every day. After Zhou Miao snatched her Good Luck Points back, Yu Ying¡¯s fatigue and edema became more serious. ¡°Big Sister, are you very tired recently? You have dark circles under your eyes. You need to rest well.¡± Zhou Miao tried to sound her out. Yu Ying smiled unnaturally and touched her cheek. ¡°I¡¯ll rest well. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± ¡°By the way, Mother, Cirrus City¡¯s Fashion Week has sent an invitation to our company. Do you still want me to attend it with you? ¡± Cirrus City¡¯s Fashion Week was held twice a year, inviting the rich and famous, and celebrities from Cirrus City to attend. Many endorsements and collaborations were negotiated and inked during Fashion Week. Yu Ying and Mother Cheng had attended it twice before. Her reputation as ¡®Cirrus City¡¯s most beautiful designer¡¯ was born from her stunning performance at the Fashion Week. At that point, she had just stolen Zhou Miao¡¯s looks completely. She wore a long white dress and looked like a Greek sacred priestess. The media fought to gain her favor, and she became a popular person in Cirrus City, a winner in life in everyone¡¯s eyes. ¡°If you¡¯re so tired, it¡¯s good to rest for a while. This time, let Little Miao come with me.¡± ¡°Sure. I¡¯ll prepare a gown for Little Sister and coach her on the Fashion Week etiquette.¡± Yu Ying was stunned for a moment, but she quickly suppressed the jealousy and hatred in her eyes. She was the virtuous Eldest Young Mistress, and it was her duty to ¡®take care¡¯ of her little sister. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Mother will take care of me. Big Sister, rest well, and don¡¯t tire yourself out.¡± Zhou Miao looked at her with a smile. ¡°Yes, Little Ying. You have to busy yourself with the company and take care of Cheng Tai. You need to rest well. You look very haggard now.¡± Mother Cheng had been concerned about her, but in Yu Ying¡¯s eyes, this concern seemed to be trying to take something from her. Her expression became unpleasant. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go upstairs and rest. Enjoy yourselves at Fashion Week.¡± This sentence was practically said through gritted teeth. When Zhou Miao went upstairs, she happened to meet Yu Ying, who was coming out of the bedroom. She had just removed her makeup, and her face was even more haggard than before. Zhou Miao couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°What are you laughing at? I¡¯m just in bad shape, that¡¯s all.¡± Yu Ying looked at Zhou Miao with a frown. ¡°I didn¡¯t say I was laughing at you.¡± Zhou Miao retorted sarcastically, ¡°But the condition of your face is really not very good recently. Would it be better to change your plastic surgeon?¡± ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? I didn¡¯t have plastic surgery!¡± Yu Ying¡¯s face darkened. Zhou Miao looked at Yu Ying and revealed an innocent smile. ¡°But Big Sister is quite different from before. They all say that you are a pure, natural beauty. You won¡¯t break down, right?¡± The phrase ¡®natural beauty¡¯ was like a knife stabbing into Yu Ying¡¯s heart. Her already ferocious-looking face revealed a menacing smile. ¡°Don¡¯t gloat too early. When I¡¯m better, I will still be that beautiful designer!¡± ¡°Then I hope Big Sister recuperates quickly.¡± Chapter 31 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Zhou Miao pushed her away and walked into her room. Zhou Miao didn¡¯t care what this sister of hers wanted to do. Once she got her Good Luck Points back, they wouldn¡¯t be taken away by Yu Ying again. Now, her top priority was to experiment with the wealth password she had just found. Yu Ying stood behind Zhou Miao and glared at her fiercely. She then dialed her assistant¡¯s number. ¡°Special Assistant Su, help me find the best silver repairman in Cirrus City. I have something very important to repair.¡± Zhou Miao counted in her heart. Just now, in the car, she had only lightly touched Cheng Heng¡¯s ear and obtained 6 smiley faces. In the room, Cheng Heng was wearing red plaid pajamas and sitting on the sofa, seemingly in a daze. Zhou Miao walked over and sat beside him, using her hand to touch his ear lightly. His face turned red, and the expression above his head turned into a shy face. It seemed that it was useless to use her hands. Zhou Miao gently leaned against him and used her lips to touch his ear. Cheng Heng¡¯s ear was soft like a fluffy cloud, and Zhou Miao felt an urge to bite it. Cheng Heng¡¯s face suddenly turned completely red. He swallowed his saliva and turned his head to look at Zhou Miao. His eyes were a little dazed, and a large smiley face appeared above his head. Zhou Miao struck while the iron was hot and pressed her lips against Cheng Heng¡¯s ear, sliding them along its outline. The smiley face on Cheng Heng¡¯s head jumped madly, and the number kept rising. After Zhou Miao finished kissing Cheng Heng¡¯s left ear, she went to kiss his right ear and repeated what she had done to his left ear. The smiley face above Cheng Heng¡¯s head did not change, but the speed at which the numbers jumped slowed down. Zhou Miao raised her head to look at the smiley face, not realizing how ambiguous the distance between her and Cheng Heng was at this time. She was now straddling Cheng Heng¡¯s body, her hands on his shoulders, almost wrapping her arms around his neck. Cheng Heng¡¯s face was frighteningly red. His body was stiff, and he did not move. ¡°Why did it stop increasing?¡± Zhou Miao looked at the number that had stopped jumping and was a little confused. Did he need intimate contact with other parts of his body? Or was there a need for deeper contact? Zhou Miao saw many scenes flashing through her mind that she shouldn¡¯t have seen and her face turned burning red as well. She turned her head and gently bit Cheng Heng¡¯s ear, and the number on his smiley face suddenly increased by 5. So she could do this too? Zhou Miao lightly bit Cheng Heng¡¯s other ear again, and there were 5 more. Gosh! She had really obtained the wealth-unlocking password. As long as she had intimate contact with Cheng Heng, she would be able to get a smiley face. Zhou Miao went all out. She gently cupped Cheng Heng¡¯s face, her fingers caressing his face. Cheng Heng¡¯s face was almost completely red, and his eyelashes fluttered as if he did not dare to look into her eyes. More than a dozen smiley faces appeared above his head. Zhou Miao¡¯s hand slowly moved down, caressing his collarbones and Adam¡¯s apple. Cheng Heng stayed at home all year round. His skin was very delicate and very fair, and the slightly cold sensation felt like mutton fat jade to her hands. Wherever Zhou Miao touched, his skin would turn a faint pink color. When Zhou Miao¡¯s hand touched his Adam¡¯s apple, his Adam¡¯s apple moved, and he let out a soft groan. ¡°You like this?¡± Zhou Miao looked at him. ¡°Yes.¡± Cheng Heng¡¯s voice was as soft as a mosquito¡¯s, and his entire body was completely red. Zhou Miao gently rubbed his Adam¡¯s apple, and the number of smiley faces on his head also jumped continuously. Zhou Miao was only focused on touching him and looking at the numbers, not realizing the fact that she was already sitting on Cheng Heng¡¯s lap. Just as Zhou Miao was happily touching him, Cheng Heng leaned forward. Zhou Miao was shocked by his sudden closeness and subconsciously backed away. Forgetting her awkward posture, she lost control and fell backward. Just as Zhou Miao felt she was about to hit the floor, Cheng Heng¡¯s hand held onto her waist firmly. His eyes were dazed, but they were shining brightly as he looked at her, and his mouth was still unconsciously groaning. ¡°What are you groaning for?¡± ¡°Touch¡­ touch me¡­.¡± Cheng Heng seemed to have used up all his courage to say these words. As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head, almost shrinking into his clothes. Zhou Miao did not think much of it initially, but looking at their posture at this moment, as well as Cheng Heng¡¯s cute actions, her thoughts became a little confused. This kind of touching could be regarded as heavy petting between lovers. If they went any deeper, it would be like the foreplay before a certain kind of exercise¡­ She held onto Cheng Heng¡¯s shoulder and slowly sat up. Cheng Heng grabbed her hand and placed it on his collarbone. Zhou Miao felt her body temperature rise in an instant. The man in front of her also emanated hot air, and her face was almost red from the heat. ¡°Touch me¡­¡± Cheng Heng spoke again. Chapter 32 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Zhou Miao bent her fingers and was no longer as calm as before. She only touched his collarbone randomly, her mind filled with some very daring scenes. Cheng Heng¡¯s earlier subconscious groaning, his body temperature slowly rising from the rubbing, and the gradually quickening breathing of the two people, all made Zhou Miao¡¯s thoughts run wild. ¡°No more touching. No more touching.¡± Zhou Miao felt that the tension in her brain was about to snap. Cheng Heng did not understand those things, but she was very clear. Teasing Cheng Heng in such a bold manner made Zhou Miao feel ashamed and guilty. After being rejected, Cheng Heng raised his head and looked at her with a lost look. ¡°Little Miao cold¡­ must make hot¡­¡± Zhou Miao stroked his head and shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not cold anymore. I don¡¯t need you to keep me warm. Can you go and take a shower now?¡± The expression above Cheng Heng¡¯s head turned into an aggrieved face, and he even puffed up his cheeks, looking very pitiful. Zhou Miao ruffled his hair. ¡°Alright, alright. Go and take a shower first.¡± After Cheng Heng went to the bathroom, Zhou Miao began to count the number of smiley faces she had now. There were about 70 of them. The next mission would require 30, and she had already found the token. Didn¡¯t that mean that she could start the mission now? [Hamster, show yourself. I want to start the next mission.] [I¡¯m sorry, Master. You haven¡¯t found the token for the next mission, so it can¡¯t be activated.] [Huh? Then what about the token I found two days ago?] Zhou Miao thought of the shining name she saw that day. [I¡¯m not sure how many smiley faces that token requires, but it should be around 60, so I can¡¯t activate it yet.] Zhou Miao was totally dejected. It looked like she had to think of a way to find the token. In the next few days, Zhou Miao was preparing for the Fashion Week and learning about the different brands in this world. Before Zhou Miao transmigrated to this world, she could be considered fair, rich, and beautiful. She also knew a lot about such activities. She only took a quick look and basically understood everything. What was even more surprising was that Zhou Miao found that her sense of aesthetics and judgment when looking at these things were much sharper, and some design inspiration even gushed out into her mind. This should be the talent of the original owner that was brought back by the recovery of Good Luck Points. She tried to sketch out the inspiration. Although her skills were rusty, it looked pretty good. She put away the paper and saw that Cheng Heng had been looking at the sketch in her hand. ¡°Is it good?¡± She unfolded the drawing. It was a dress that she had designed. The expression above Cheng Heng¡¯s head turned into one of deep thought. He took the drawing from Zhou Miao¡¯s hands and in less than ten minutes, perfected the design draft. He even drew a small bear as a watermark on the lower right corner. Zhou Miao focused her eyes and looked over. That little bear was flashing with light. It was a token. She happily took the drawing. ¡°Our Cheng Heng is really good at drawing.¡± The expression above Cheng Heng¡¯s head suddenly turned into a smiley face. His cheeks were red, like a child who was embarrassed after being praised. And Cheng Heng¡¯s lips were also pursed in a smile. He looked very charming. Zhou Miao exchanged smiley faces with the hamster. She planned to come back after the Fashion Week catwalk show to embark on the mission. Zhou Miao¡¯s appearance had recovered a lot, and now she could be considered quite delicate and pretty. She put on the blue starry dress she had prepared and followed Mother Cheng. When the crowd saw that Mother Cheng didn¡¯t bring Yu Ying with her, they all came forward to greet her. Although Yu Ying had also learned etiquette seriously, she would often show her timidity on such occasions. However, Zhou Miao was different. Her dignified and confident demeanor made the rich ladies praise her endlessly. Zhou Miao saw Bai Yang here. Bai Yang had brought a man with her. The man¡¯s eyes looked empty, but this kind of emptiness was different from the emptiness in Cheng Heng¡¯s eyes. This man was blind! ¡°Miss Bai,¡± Zhou Miao greeted her. ¡°Miss Zhou, this is my brother, Bai Yue.¡± Bai Yang introduced. Zhou Miao sized him up, at the same time thinking about what exactly happened between him and Cheng Heng at that time. ¡°Miss Zhou, I¡¯ve heard so much about you. I hope you will have a good time today. If you like the events organized by the Bai family, we¡¯ll also invite you to our exhibition at the end of the month.¡± Zhou Miao nodded to accept the invitation. She was very curious about what Mother Cheng meant by the Bai family being a benefactor to the Cheng family. After the show, the organizer would give each invited guest a purchase list, and the rich and famous people could order some new products in advance. Mother Cheng told Zhou Miao to pick some, which would later be used as company benefits and gifts for other rich wives. Zhou Miao chose a few pieces, and Mother Cheng was very satisfied with them. She never knew that this daughter-in-law had such good taste. To reward Zhou Miao, she bought Zhou Miao the latest set of jewelry from the jewelers participating in today¡¯s Fashion Week. A few rich ladies who were close to Mother Cheng also looked at Zhou Miao in a new light because of this act. Chapter 33 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°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. Chapter 34 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Cheng Heng found a corner to sit down, then he opened his sketchbook, and started drawing. He drew two strokes before looking up to see if Zhou Miao was still there. His actions warmed Zhou Miao¡¯s heart. Little Cheng Heng seemed to be very concerned about her. She did not know if he had thought of her in the days that she was not around. Zhou Miao sat down next to Cheng Heng, looking at what he was drawing. The drawing was a cute little bear. Cheng Heng really liked little bears. Cheng Heng drew quietly, the sketch pen making scratching sounds on the paper. Zhou Miao kept him company quietly like this. When he turned his head to confirm that Zhou Miao was still there, she moved closer to him so that he did not have to worry that she would leave. ¡°Cheng Heng, Cheng Heng, the teacher said to meet at the South Gate at half past six.¡± Suddenly, a boy in school uniform dashed over and shouted at Cheng Heng, ¡°Idiot, did you hear that? Gather at the South Gate at half past six.¡± Cheng Heng kept his head lowered and continued drawing, ignoring the boy standing in front of him. The boy looked very impatient. ¡°Why was I sent to inform you? You don¡¯t understand what I say anyway.¡± Zhou Miao noted down the time and accompanied Cheng Heng as he continued drawing. After Cheng Heng finished drawing, he handed the drawing to Zhou Miao. Zhou Miao wanted to take the drawing but found that the drawing simply passed through her hand and fell to the ground. Cheng Heng pursed his lips, picked up the drawing, and stubbornly stuffed it into Zhou Miao¡¯s hands. Every time it fell, he would pick it up. Zhou Miao¡¯s heart ached a little. She exchanged some materialization time with the hamster and took the drawing. The drawing was of a cute bear. It wasn¡¯t in a realistic style, but it was a cute bear wearing a small skirt. The bear was smiling brightly on the paper. ¡°Little Heng, let¡¯s put the drawing in the school bag, okay? You can give it to Sister Angel before Sister Angel leaves.¡± ¡°Leave?¡± Cheng Heng caught the keyword. His eyes drooped, and he looked very disappointed. ¡°Don¡¯t go.¡± ¡°Because I¡¯m an angel, I have to go up to the sky to cultivate, so that I can always be with Little Heng in the future.¡± Zhou Miao could not bear to see Cheng Heng¡¯s dejected expression and started to make up a story. Cheng Heng raised his head and looked into her eyes as if to confirm that she wasn¡¯t lying to him. ¡°Of course. I won¡¯t lie to you. After a long, long time, when you¡¯ve finished high school, senior high school, and university, I¡¯ll be done with my cultivation, and I¡¯ll be able to stay with Little Heng forever.¡± Cheng Heng nodded, stood up, and started to enjoy himself in the zoo with Zhou Miao. The autumn afternoon sun wasn¡¯t that hot anymore. Zhou Miao followed Cheng Heng and strolled leisurely in the zoo. Cheng Heng didn¡¯t like crowded places. The places they walked were mostly small paths in the woods. When they reached an uphill road, they suddenly heard the clattering sound of a small cart. Zhou Miao focused her eyes and looked. A small cart was rolling down the slope and was currently heading in Cheng Heng¡¯s direction, but Cheng Heng did not notice it in the slightest. He only looked at Zhou Miao, who was shouting at him. ¡°Watch out!¡± In a moment of desperation, she exchanged materialization time with the hamster and pushed Cheng Heng to the side. However, the small cart hit Zhou Miao violently, and the branches on it stabbed her. The sharp branches scratched her arm, leaving several wounds. The staff member who was pushing the small cart quickly ran over. ¡°Miss, are you okay? I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± The staff member had just lowered his head to tie his shoelaces when the small cart rolled downhill. He had only seen Cheng Heng and thought the small cart would bump into him. In the end, a girl suddenly appeared out of thin air, and he felt like he was seeing things. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± she said. Zhou Miao stood up and looked at Cheng Heng. ¡°Little Heng, are you alright? ¡± Cheng Heng hadn¡¯t been hit by the small cart, so Zhou Miao breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the wounds on her own body. They were only small scratches, not deep, but blood was seeping out of them. ¡°I¡¯ll get you two band-aids. My office is nearby.¡± The staff member walked away. Zhou Miao did not have much time. She did not stay where she was to wait for the staff but instead walked off with Cheng Heng. When they reached a place where no one was around, Cheng Heng stopped and looked at the blood on her arm. He grabbed her arm and gently blew on her wound. ¡°It¡¯s bleeding.¡± Cheng Heng frowned. ¡°It will hurt.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m fine as long as Little Heng is fine.¡± Zhou Miao patted his head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s just a small wound.¡± ¡°Need to apply medicine¡­¡± Cheng Heng dragged her, wanting to go to a nearby pharmacy. ¡°There¡¯s no pharmacy here. It¡¯s just a small wound. Maybe it¡¯ll heal by the time we get there.¡± Cheng Heng shook his head and stubbornly pulled her along. The physical body materialization time Zhou Miao had exchanged ended, and she reverted to her original state. The wounds disappeared miraculously. ¡°Look, Sister used magic to heal the wounds.¡± Zhou Miao showed Cheng Heng¡¯s her original wounds. There were no traces of the wound anymore, and her skin was as clean as new. Chapter 35 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry. Let¡¯s go and meet up with the teacher.¡± Zhou Miao patted Cheng Heng¡¯s head and led him to the South Gate. The South Gate of the zoo was a little remote. Zhou Miao found it only after making many turns, but there was nothing outside the South Gate. There was only a wide, empty road and a large piece of wasteland. Zhou Miao thought it was strange. Why would the teacher ask the students to gather here? It was already 6:20 pm, but there were no students here. There was only a middle-aged man sitting in the guard house. The middle-aged man was also very surprised to see Cheng Heng. ¡°There¡¯s nothing outside this gate. Why are you here?¡± Hearing the middle-aged man¡¯s words, Zhou Miao also thought it very strange. He was right. There were no means of transportation here, and it was not convenient to flag a cab. Thinking of the boy who had suddenly come to inform them, Zhou Miao realized with a sense of foreboding this boy must have lied to Cheng Heng. Why would he do this? Zhou Miao hurriedly led Cheng Heng in the direction of the north gate. By this time, Cheng Heng¡¯s parents had received a call from the teacher. The teacher said that a student had reported that Cheng Heng had left the zoo, saying said that he wanted to go home. Now they couldn¡¯t find him. Cheng Heng¡¯s parents wanted to enter the zoo to discuss with the staff and check the surveillance cameras to see where Cheng Heng had gone, but the zoo had closed, and all the staff had gone home. Mother Cheng stood at the entrance of the zoo, crying. ¡°Where did that child go? Why did he go out alone? I told you not to let this child go on an outing¡­¡± Father Cheng was also very distraught. He frowned and called someone he knew to call the police. Just as they were feeling anxious, Cheng Heng¡¯s figure appeared at the end of the road. He carried his school bag and walked over, his face covered in dirt. ¡°Little Heng! Little Heng!¡± Seeing Cheng Heng, Mother Cheng was on the verge of tears. Zhou Miao stood at the side. Mother Cheng couldn¡¯t see her. She sighed deeply and thought of what Mother Cheng had told her about Cheng Heng getting lost in the second year of high school. In the original time and space, Cheng Heng listened to his classmate¡¯s words and walked out through the south gate. He walked aimlessly along the road for one whole night before he was found by the police. It was also because of this that Cheng Heng¡¯s condition, which had shown signs of improving, worsened. At that point, Cheng Heng already had some reaction to other people¡¯s words, but the classmate he trusted lied to him. The snail that had been slowly crawling out of its shell shrank back. Thankfully, Zhou Miao had already changed everything. Although she did not manage to change the trouble-making students, she made it so that Cheng Heng did not walk on the road for one whole night in vain. When Cheng Heng returned home, Cheng Tai had already finished his homework and was watching TV downstairs. When he saw his parents and Cheng Heng, he was surprised at first, but then he smiled happily. ¡°You have found Little Brother. It¡¯s been hard on you, Dad and Mom. I¡¯ll bring him to wash up.¡± Seeing the sensible Cheng Tai, Cheng Heng¡¯s parents smiled with relief and asked Cheng Heng to follow his older brother to wash up. Cheng Tai took Cheng Heng upstairs and walked to a place where his parents couldn¡¯t see. The smile on his face disappeared at once, and his eyes became judgmental, ¡°Didn¡¯t Zhang Yi tell you to go to the South Gate? How did you find your way back? How come you didn¡¯t get lost outside?¡± Cheng Heng did not react to his words. He just kept fiddling with the little bear toy hanging on his bag. ¡°Why were you born into this family? You¡¯re not worthy!¡± Cheng Tai¡¯s words gradually became unpleasant, and he even pushed Cheng Heng. Suddenly, Cheng Tai felt a massive force yanking him to the wall. He turned around and saw only air. ¡°You pulled me?¡± Cheng Tai glared at Cheng Heng. After that, an even greater force yanked Cheng Tai to another wall. Cheng Tai looked at Cheng Heng, who was standing in front of him at the same spot without moving at all. Such a supernatural event made Cheng Tai a little scared. What was yanking him? Cheng Tai didn¡¯t dare to turn back to look, nor did he have the mood to question Cheng Heng. He walked past Cheng Heng and left with a frightened face. Cheng Heng returned to his room, took out the drawing he had just finished, and handed it to Zhou Miao. Zhou Miao counted, and there were 15 smiley faces left. She exchanged for one minute of physical time. Under Cheng Heng¡¯s expectant eyes, she took the drawing, rolled it up gently, and put it in her pocket. ¡°I¡¯ll keep it safe.¡± Cheng Heng smiled, the corners of his mouth raised high. The next second, his smile disappeared. Sister Angel had gone back to cultivate, and the rolled-up drawing fell to the floor. Cheng Heng pursed his lips, picked up the drawing, and wrote a small ¡°1¡± on it. When Zhou Miao woke up, the sky was still dark. Cheng Heng was changing into sportswear, ready to go out for a walk. Chapter 36 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Seeing that Zhou Miao had woken up, Cheng Heng walked to the front of Zhou Miao and stared at her face seriously, as if to confirm something. After a while, he pointed at Zhou Miao¡¯s arm with his finger. Zhou Miao was thoroughly confused by his actions. She turned her head to look, and there were small scratches on her arm, like the scratch marks left by tree branches. [Hamster, Hamster, what¡¯s going on?] [Master, the injuries you received when you used materialization will still remain on your body, so you should be careful when you use materialization while carrying out your missions.] While Zhou Miao and the hamster were conversing, Cheng Heng had already found the medicine box and taken out the ointment. Cheng Heng took the cotton stick and the ointment and studied them carefully. Then he gently applied a small amount of the ointment on Zhou Miao¡¯s arm. Zhou Miao looked at his gentle movements and felt the hot sensation on the wound. ¡°It¡¯s just a small wound. There¡¯s no need to apply medicine.¡± ¡°It will hurt.¡± Cheng Heng still persisted in applying the ointment, and even put on a band-aid with a bear design. His movements were very careful as if he was treating a rare treasure. After he was done, he pushed the door open and went out for a walk. Zhou Miao, who was left in the same place, felt as if her heart was immersed in hot water. The boy in her dream just now had also anxiously wanted to apply medicine on her wound, and now Cheng Heng was doing the same. Slowly, unconsciously, Cheng Heng seemed to be starting to walk out of the shell that trapped him. Zhou Miao did not know that an even bigger surprise was waiting for her. In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend again, and it was time for the Cheng family to have dinner together. On such days, there would be more things on the table that Cheng Heng couldn¡¯t eat. Both Yu Ying and Cheng Tai liked spicy food. Although Cheng Heng couldn¡¯t eat spicy food, Mother Cheng didn¡¯t want everyone in the family to go without it, so she ordered the housekeeper to make a few spicy dishes for Yu Ying and Cheng Tai. Cheng Tai still acted like a good brother. At the dining table, he kept putting food into Cheng Heng¡¯s bowl and asked about Cheng Heng¡¯s condition. ¡°Sister-in-law, it¡¯s been hard on you too.¡± Cheng Tai looked at Zhou Miao as he raised his glass. His eyes were calm, and his smile was perfect. In the past, Zhou Miao would definitely have thought that Cheng Tai was a great brother, but now, she didn¡¯t dare to think so. Since Cheng Tai had done so many bad things when Cheng Heng was a child, he probably wouldn¡¯t change when he grew up. ¡°If there¡¯s anything you need my help with, I can also help.¡± Yu Ying also chimed in. Recently, she had undergone several medical beauty procedures and even specially put on a mole, but the rough impression on her face had not been removed. Even at the Cheng family¡¯s dinner table, she still put on makeup, afraid that others would see through her. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I can handle it myself. Thank you, Sister and Brother-in-law.¡± Zhou Miao gave a toast without any change in expression, thinking that this couple in front of her really had no flaws in their act. ¡°You¡¯ve indeed worked hard during this period.¡± The one who spoke was Father Cheng. Recently, he had also noticed that Cheng Heng¡¯s condition seemed to be better than before, that Cheng Heng could hear other people talking. ¡°Recently, Cheng Heng¡¯s condition has improved greatly, thanks to you.¡± Suddenly, Cheng Heng, who was sitting next to him, knocked over a glass. With a splash, the water spilled all over the floor. Cheng Heng did not bother with the glass but frantically grabbed Zhou Miao¡¯s glass. Before Zhou Miao could snatch the glass, he had already taken a gulp of the wine. Everyone gathered around to check what had happened to Cheng Heng. Yu Ying snickered scornfully in her heart. It was impossible to take care of a person like Cheng Heng. No matter how capable Zhou Miao was, how could she be better than a doctor? Even the doctors felt that Cheng Heng couldn¡¯t be cured, let alone her, Zhou Miao! Zhou Miao snatched the wine glass and looked at Cheng Heng¡¯s contorted face. The expression above his head was also contorted, and he opened his mouth to breathe. Huh? Breathing through the mouth? Zhou Miao asked tentatively, ¡°Did you taste something spicy?¡± Cheng Heng looked at Zhou Miao and opened his mouth slightly. ¡°Want to drink water.¡± Zhou Miao brought over a cup of milk for Cheng Heng to neutralize the spiciness. Cheng Heng gulped down half a cup, and his brows finally relaxed. He sat on his seat and pointed at the plate of spicy chicken. ¡°Spicy.¡± His single word shocked everyone present. Spiciness was a sensation of pain. Now that he could feel spiciness, did it mean that his inability to feel pain was changing for the better? Mother Cheng¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. ¡°Make an appointment with the doctor immediately. We¡¯ll have a health check tomorrow to see if our Cheng Heng is getting better.¡± Cheng Tai patted his mother¡¯s back gently and even handed her a tissue. ¡°It¡¯s good that Little Brother¡¯s illness can get better. Mom, don¡¯t be so agitated. I believe this is just the beginning. He will get better and better in the future.¡± His expression was sincere as if he really hoped that Cheng Heng would recover. Chapter 37 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Zhou Miao glanced icily at Cheng Tai and Yu Ying, then turned to Cheng Heng. ¡°We won¡¯t eat spicy food anymore. If we see that kind of food, we can¡¯t touch it, understand?¡± Cheng Heng nodded his head under her gaze. The next day, the doctor came to the house early in the morning and did a series of tests on Cheng Heng. Zhou Miao did not know much about these medical matters and only watched Cheng Heng obediently undergo the examination. After the doctor finished the examination, he asked Mother Cheng and Zhou Miao to step out. Mother Cheng asked anxiously, ¡°Doctor, how is Little Heng? Has his condition improved?¡± ¡°Although he went berserk twice recently, according to the indicators, I think the patient¡¯s condition can be considered moderate,¡± said the doctor. As soon as he said this, Mother Cheng¡¯s tears fell, and her lips quivered. ¡°Good, good¡­¡± ¡°Although he has recovered some sensation of pain, it¡¯s still not stable,¡± said the doctor. ¡°Can he recover completely?¡± Zhou Miao asked somewhat nervously. She had already completed several missions, and she hoped that Cheng Heng¡¯s illness could really get better. ¡°There are very few cases of complete recovery in the past, but looking at the current situation, there should be a chance of complete recovery. Miss Zhou, you have taken very good care of the patient.¡± Zhou Miao felt that the big burden in her heart had been lifted. Looking at Cheng Heng sitting in the room obediently with his head lowered, holding the little bear plush toy and an emoji with a yawning expression above his head, her eyes softened a little. ¡°He can stop taking the medicine for a while. Miss Zhou, please spend more time with the patient. This is beneficial to his emotional stability.¡± Hearing this, Mother Cheng looked at Zhou Miao gratefully, her tears falling non-stop. The three of them walked to the living room. Father Cheng, Cheng Tai, and Yu Ying all stood up. As there was a health check today, the three of them took leave to wait for the results at home. Seeing the tears on Mother Cheng¡¯s face, a trace of gloating flashed through Yu Ying¡¯s heart. Cheng Heng¡¯s condition must have worsened again. She knew it. With Zhou Miao¡¯s paltry ability, how could she possibly help to alleviate Cheng Heng¡¯s condition? Yu Ying put on a concerned expression and went forward to help Mother Cheng. ¡°Mother, why are you crying? Although Little Brother is seriously ill, you should take care of your health too. Don¡¯t be too sad.¡± Cheng Tai also supported his mother, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. The Cheng family still has me. I¡¯ll do my part well.¡± Yu Ying saw that her mother was crying so hard that she couldn¡¯t speak, so she walked over to Zhou Miao and said, ¡°Little Sister, if you need any help, you can come to me¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing that needs help. The doctor said that Cheng Heng has recovered a little, so you don¡¯t have to worry about him.¡± Yu Ying¡¯s face froze for a moment, but she quickly adjusted her expression. ¡°I see. You¡¯ve worked hard, Little Sister. If you need any medicine or physiotherapy methods, you can let me know.¡± ¡°Miss Yu, you don¡¯t have to worry too much. Cheng Heng can stop taking his medicine during this period. We¡¯ll prescribe other medicine again when he has recovered some more.¡± The doctor at the side spoke, and his words felt like a hard slap on Yu Ying¡¯s face. ¡°Is that so¡­¡± Yu Ying¡¯s smile had almost vanished. ¡°Will there be any risk of his condition getting worse?¡± Zhou Miao said, ¡°Big Sister, you don¡¯t have to be so worried. Cheng Heng¡¯s condition will not worsen. You should hope for a better future. If Cheng Heng¡¯s illness were to worsen, what good would it do you?¡± She couldn¡¯t stand Yu Ying¡¯s hypocritical appearance of pretending to care about Cheng Heng even though she clearly wanted Cheng Heng to die of his illness. ¡°Sister-in-law, Little Ying is also concerned about Cheng Heng. It¡¯s just that the way she asked was not very appropriate. You don¡¯t have to make things difficult for her.¡± Cheng Tai walked over and held Yu Ying in his arms. ¡°Since Little Brother is fine, you can take care of Mom and Little Brother first. Little Ying and I will go back to the company first.¡± Zhou Miao gave a disdainful snort and ignored this pretentious couple. ¡°I know you care about your brother-in-law, but your sister is always like this. Please don¡¯t be angry with her.¡± Sitting in the car, Cheng Tai comforted Yu Ying. He took Yu Ying¡¯s hand with the hand that wasn¡¯t holding the steering wheel, and his fingers rubbed the back of her hand a few times. Yu Ying held his hand. ¡°I also hope that Little Brother can get better. That way, you¡¯ll have less burden.¡± Cheng Tai laughed. Why was his wife still so innocent? What good would it do him if Cheng Heng recovered? He might even be kicked out of the house after his authority was removed. However, Cheng Tai liked Yu Ying¡¯s kind personality. The car stopped at the traffic light. Cheng Tai turned to look at his wife. It would have been fine if he hadn¡¯t looked, but with this glance, he almost missed the green light. The honking sounds behind them rose and fell. Cheng Tai looked at Yu Ying¡¯s face, his eyes darkening. Chapter 38 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Hearing the honking sounds, Cheng Tai turned around and continued driving. Yu Ying thought about Cheng Tai¡¯s actions and turned on her phone camera to look at her face in confusion. It was a face full of fatigue and edema. The originally flawless skin with no pores to be seen now had pimples and acne marks. ¡°Were you very tired lately?¡± Cheng Tai asked. ¡°Yes, I am not in good shape recently.¡± Yu Ying suppressed the panic in her heart and took out a powder compact from her bag to touch up her makeup. She had already put on her makeup flawlessly at home, so why did she still look like this¡­ Could it be that something had happened to the longevity locket again? It seemed like she had to hurry up and repair the longevity locket. If she lost either beauty or design talent, everything she had would fall apart. Zhou Miao was eating the bird¡¯s nest porridge gleefully as she looked at herself in the mirror. She had fair and delicate skin, long and thick hair that cascaded down, and a beauty mole decorating her cheek. Although her facial features could barely be considered delicate, she already possessed the shadow of a beauty at first glance. She had just exchanged 10 smiley faces with the hamster. At this moment, Cheng Tai should be with Yu Ying now. She wondered what the Eldest Young Master would think when he saw Yu Ying¡¯s face had suddenly turned ugly. Thinking of this, she felt that she had finally given vent to her anger. [Master, a friendly reminder. The number of smiley faces you need next time is 50.] The hamster¡¯s words suddenly entered her mind. Zhou Miao suddenly felt a little discouraged. 50 smiley faces? It was better to kill her. The smiley faces were needed to restore her Good Luck Points, to activate missions, and she had to reserve some to use on materialization¡­ It was difficult to start a business! Zhou Miao walked into the study with a snack in her hand. Cheng Heng was working. The most important thing now was to quickly get smiley faces. Zhou Miao sat beside Cheng Heng, and only then did she realize that he was not drawing but flipping through a very old sketchbook. The sketchbook looked like it had been exposed to the wind and the sun. The edges were yellow, and a few pages showed signs of being torn and pieced together. On every page, there were hand-drawn teddy bears. Some were wearing dresses, some were singing, and some were drawing. In short, there were all kinds of designs. There were about 300 pages in all. On the last page, there was a teddy bear in a small two-piece suit holding a graduation certificate. This page was also the most badly damaged one. It had been torn and pieced back together. Cheng Heng saw her walking over and moved the book in front of her to read it with her. ¡°Did you draw all these?¡± Zhou Miao asked. ¡°Uh-huh.¡± Cheng Heng replied, and the expression above his head displayed a little proud face. ¡°It¡¯s so pretty. Can Little Heng teach me how to draw?¡± Zhou Miao found a piece of paper and got Cheng Heng to hold her hand to teach herself how to draw. Such a position was too ambiguous. Zhou Miao¡¯s entire body was nestled in Cheng Heng¡¯s embrace. Cheng Heng¡¯s hand held her hand as he drew lines on the paper. Zhou Miao felt that she was surrounded by Cheng Heng¡¯s breath. That hot breath infused with the scent of men¡¯s pheromones almost made her face red. Cheng Heng¡¯s breath fell on her ear, gently brushing past her ear. Zhou Miao unconsciously shifted in Cheng Heng¡¯s embrace, hinting to him that he should not hug her so tightly. Just as she finished shifting, the little red expression above Cheng Heng¡¯s head revealed a smile. Good Lord! This worked as well? Although Zhou Miao was also a little shy, she still didn¡¯t let go of this opportunity to get a smiley face. She simply put down the pen, turned around with a beaming smile, and gently stroked Cheng Heng¡¯s face and ears like before. The number next to the smiley face jumped a few times, and Cheng Heng¡¯s breath and his body temperature became hotter. ¡°Touch¡­¡± Cheng Heng said. Zhou Miao¡¯s fingers touched the places she touched last time. Eyes, nose, lips¡­ Each spot would yield 1 or 2 smiley faces. Zhou Miao looked at the person in front of her up close. As she touched him, his slender eyes took on a watery look. Zhou Miao brushed his fringe aside and locked eyes with him. Her fingers touched him gently, and his smiley faces continued to increase. Although it was different from the massive flood of smiley faces last time, it was still better than nothing. She touched him again and again, and the number finally stopped at 40. Zhou Miao carefully put the smiley faces away. This time, she had to plan carefully. First, she would save 30 for the mission, and the remaining 30 would be used to exchange for Good Luck Points. After exchanging 10 Good Luck Points, Zhou Miao felt that there were suddenly many things in her head. She thought about it carefully and realized that it was actually knowledge about art and design. She was thinking about these things while nestled in Cheng Heng¡¯s arms, completely unaware that the man in front of her had already begun to unbutton his shirt. Chapter 39 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Touch¡­ here.¡± Cheng Heng grabbed her hand and placed it on his collarbone. Zhou Miao got a big shock. She looked at the person in front of her. He had unbuttoned the top two buttons of his red plaid shirt, exposing his fair collarbones in front of her eyes, which felt very warm against her hand. Zhou Miao wriggled out of his arms. ¡°That¡¯s all for today!¡± Zhou Miao made an X with her fingers. ¡°We can¡¯t touch anymore.¡± She really couldn¡¯t do it anymore. If this continued, she would really lose control. On the other side of the city, the exhibition hall jointly built by the Bai Corporation and the Cheng¡¯s Group was open today. Celebrities from all walks of life and luminaries from the art world came. In addition to looking forward to the out-of-print exhibits in the exhibition hall, everyone was also looking forward to the Eldest Young Mistress of the Cheng¡¯s Group introducing the collection to everyone as a live broadcast commentator. Although this beautiful designer was not a movie celebrity, she was famous in Cirrus City because of her beauty. Her works were also very well-known, and she was even more influential than some movie stars and internet celebrities in Cirrus City. In the office, Yu Ying found the best makeup artist in Cirrus City to do her makeup. ¡°Miss Yu, you¡¯re really a natural beauty. It¡¯s rare to find someone with such good features and proportion.¡± The makeup artist complimented Yu Ying. As the makeup artist had spent a lot of effort to cover up her acne marks, Yu Ying¡¯s face was still very stunning after the makeup was done. Her figure was also one in a million. ¡°I was born with it.¡± Yu Ying saw that her beauty had no flaws and revealed a proud smile. Now, she could return to her original state with some simple touch-ups. When she repaired the longevity locket, she would still be the great beauty from before. ¡°Miss Yu, aren¡¯t you going to memorize your lines? When I was doing makeup for those celebrities in the past, they would memorize their lines while doing their makeup.¡± ¡°Of course I don¡¯t need to. These exhibits are already in my head.¡± Ever since Yu Ying took over Zhou Miao¡¯s appearance and talent, she had been proficient in the content of art history and art appreciation. She was shocked when she first located these things in her mind. Fortunately, she took everything from Zhou Miao. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t be able to squeeze a word out about these exhibits with those years she spent in the design college. She put on her microphone, straightened her clothes, and walked out of the dressing room. The hall outside was filled with media reporters and celebrities from the art world, including the head of the Bai family, Bai Yang. Yu Ying raised her chin and looked at everyone with a classic smile. ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m Yu Ying, the design director of Cheng¡¯s Group. I¡¯m also the manager of the exhibition hall.¡± Her every move was being shown to the audience in Cirrus City through the internet. ¡°Yu Ying is too beautiful. Look at her facial features and her figure.¡± ¡°Why are we worshiping movie stars? Look at Yu Ying, who is a famous designer and got married to such a good husband. She¡¯s so beautiful too. She¡¯s the one we should be worshiping.¡± ¡°People dabbling in arts are really different. The posture, the way she speaks¡­ even the most popular celebrity can¡¯t do it!¡± The entry ¡®Yu Ying, beauty and talent in one¡¯ had already become a hot search phrase in Cirrus City. Yu Ying listened to her assistant¡¯s report through her earpiece. The corners of her mouth curled up gleefully as she led the audience to the next exhibition hall. ¡°Everyone, please take a look. This is¡­¡± Yu Ying was about to introduce the next item on display when her mind suddenly went blank. She couldn¡¯t say a word as she stared at the painting. She searched her mind desperately but could not think of anything. Damn it! Why was the longevity locket having so many problems recently? Although the celebrities below the stage didn¡¯t say anything, they all frowned. The people watching the live broadcast on the internet also sent question marks. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Didn¡¯t they say she was a talented woman? Why didn¡¯t she memorize the commentary well?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me she doesn¡¯t know? How can a great designer forget her lines? ¡± ¡°Bet you guys didn¡¯t know, right? She didn¡¯t even sell many of her previous product. It seems like she really can¡¯t do it¡­¡± Bai Yang saw Yu Ying¡¯s expression and gestured for the live broadcast to be cut off. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you not memorize your lines well? ¡°Bai Yang asked. ¡°I¡¯m not in good shape. I¡¯m familiar with this kind of artwork, so there¡¯s no need to memorize it.¡± Bai Yang frowned. ¡°Can we still continue with the broadcast?¡± Yu Ying shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not in good shape.¡± The live broadcast was suspended just like that, but the internet was abuzz with noisy speculation. Zhou Miao was holding a bag of potato chips and munching while reading the news on her phone. Yu Ying¡¯s image of a talented woman had collapsed halfway. Some people on the internet said she was just a pretty but empty vessel while others said that her designs were done by ghost designers. Indeed, people would get their retribution for doing bad things. They deserved it! Zhou Miao judged silently in her heart. She did not notice that Cheng Heng, who was sitting on the sofa initially, had suddenly sneaked to her side. Chapter 40 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Do you want to eat this?¡± Zhou Miao raised the bag of chips and asked. Cheng Heng¡¯s face was leaning very close as if he was begging her to touch him, but Zhou Miao did not fall for it and pushed the bag of chips in front of him. ¡°Give me a smile. Give me a smile, and I¡¯ll give you.¡± Cheng Heng probably understood it as if he smiled, Zhou Miao would touch him. He raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile, innocent and cute. A smiley face also popped out above his head. Zhou Miao took out a piece of potato chip and fed it to his mouth. Cheng Heng bit the potato chip, but his smiley face disappeared immediately. ¡°Men are really hard to please,¡± Zhou Miao thought. She put down the potato chips and touched Cheng Heng randomly for a while, until the number of smiley faces stopped increasing. At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. It was Bai Yang. Bai Yang invited her and Cheng Heng out for a meal. Although she did not know what Bai Yang wanted, Zhou Miao still agreed. ¡°Yu Ying has already dropped the ball twice in the collaboration with our family.¡± During the meal, Bai Yang complained as she ate. This time, it was not only Bai Yang and Bai Yue who joined them for a meal. There was also a general manager from their company called Gu Shuo, who was in charge of the exhibition hall¡¯s business. ¡°So I was thinking, could Cheng Heng take over the design work for the Bai family in the future? I will talk to Brother Cheng Tai about this later. I wanted to let you know in advance and hear your views on this matter.¡± Cheng Heng didn¡¯t go to the company to work now, but he still maintained his work intensity. It was not an issue at all to take on such a job. ¡°Cheng Heng¡¯s condition is pretty good now. I think your proposal is feasible.¡± Zhou Miao agreed and looked at Cheng Heng, who was eating silently at the side. ¡°That¡¯s good. Chairman Bai was worried that you wouldn¡¯t agree to it,¡± Gu Shuo chimed in. Zhou Miao looked at him and thought that he looked familiar. ¡°I¡¯d like to ask for your help with the exhibition hall as well. You¡¯re a designer, so you should have a good understanding of aesthetics. I hope you can help me produce a new version of the commentary. After the live broadcast incident the other day, Yu Ying kept turning down this request. She even said that she could let you take over the job.¡± Zhou Miao laughed when she heard that. Yu Ying was pushing the things she screwed up to her? Yu Ying probably didn¡¯t realize that the talent and knowledge that belonged to Zhou Miao had returned to her. Zhou Miao agreed with a smile. Bai Yue, who had been silent all this while, finally opened his mouth. ¡°Thank you, Miss Zhou and Little Heng. I really have to thank you for supporting my sister all this time, allowing the Bai family business to continue.¡± He held the wine glass and offered it over to Zhou Miao, fumbling around to find Zhou Miao¡¯s location. Zhou Miao felt her heart ache. If it wasn¡¯t for that accident, Bai Yue would have been a handsome and elegant young man. Zhou Miao intercepted his direction and clinked glasses with him, saying thank you softly. She didn¡¯t notice that the expression above Cheng Heng¡¯s head had suddenly become angry. The emoji¡¯s cheeks were puffed up, and its eyes were wide with anger as if it had seen something heinous. Zhou Miao also clinked glasses with Gu Shuo and Bai Yang. When she clinked glasses with Gu Shuo, an angry expression appeared above Cheng Heng¡¯s head. Zhou Miao saw his expression and was extremely puzzled. Why was this little youngster throwing a tantrum? This meal was very harmonious. Zhou Miao roughly understood the projects the Bai Corporation and the Cheng¡¯s Group were collaborating on, as well as the exhibition hall project. In addition to these, she also knew that Gu Shuo was Cheng Heng¡¯s junior high school classmate. ¡°Looks like I must have seen him before during the last mission. No wonder he looks so familiar,¡± Zhou Miao thought to herself, but she still had a vague sense of strangeness. After the meal, they stood by the side of the road, waiting for their drivers to drive the cars over. Cheng Heng¡¯s face was expressionless, but the expression above his head was still pouting angrily. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry anymore. My hands are cold, so warm them up for me.¡± Zhou Miao put her hand into Cheng Heng¡¯s pocket and interlocked her fingers with his. She moved close to Cheng Heng¡¯s ear and acted coy. The angry expression above Cheng Heng¡¯s head was replaced by a smiley face. Suddenly, a drunkard rushed out of nowhere, waving something like a steel pipe. He went into a drunken frenzy on the road and staggered towards Cheng Heng and the others. Although Zhou Miao was afraid, she still protected Cheng Heng with her body. That drunkard seemed to have suddenly seen something. He swung the rod and rushed over. The rod was about to hit Cheng Heng and Zhou Miao. At the critical moment, Zhou Miao, who was shielding Cheng Heng, pushed him down. That rod landed on Zhou Miao¡¯s back. It was not a fatal injury, but it was so painful that it made her feel somewhat dizzy. Her vision went black for a moment, and some images and sounds seemed to appear in her mind. ¡°Little Miao, you have to take good care of that jade coin¡­¡± Were these the memories of the original owner? Before Zhou Miao could think about it more deeply, the pain spread up her back. Everything turned black before her eyes, and she fainted.
