Chapter 50 (1/2)

Xiaotu’s father froze, reached up to touch the stubble on his face, and then couldn’t help but chuckle.

Xiaotu’s mother walked up, and, upon seeing how her daughter was all dolled up, she smiled and said, “Well, well, Xiaotu appears prettier than usual today.”

“Of course, I put powder on.” Xiaotu gazed at her mother proudly as she boasted, “Auntie Zhou helped me put it on.”

“Yes, and I see she gave you a red dot as well.” Xiaotu’s mother said with a pleasant expression.

“Yes.” Xiaotu nodded happily.

“Xiaotu looks so gorgeous.” Xiaotu’s father was all smiles as he scooped up Xiaotu, placed her on his shoulders, and said in a low voice, “Let’s go! We’re going home.”

Xiaotu couldn’t do anything but giggle.

Three days after Xiaotu’s father had returned home, Cheng Zhiyan sat at his desk reading and doing his homework.

Even though his surroundings were quiet, for some inexplicable reason, he felt like he couldn’t concentrate.

He kept feeling that…something was missing…

Cheng Zhiyan spun his pencil in one hand, while his other hand propped up his chin. His eyes fell on the notebook on the desk. It had become densely filled with problem-solving steps without him even consciously realizing it, yet for some unfathomable reason, he felt as if these problems had never even crossed his mind.

“What exactly was wrong with him?”

Cheng Zhiyan turned his head to look out the window, and there was a chubby little pigeon sitting on the bare tree branch.

COO,COO,COO. The pigeon tilted its head and stared back at him.
