Chapter 71

Su Ci narrowed her eyes.0

She watched the video where a girl sat down not far from Lu Zhe, removed her hat, and took small sips of water. Su Ci examined the girl, who had fair skin and a gentle appearance, though not particularly beautiful. The girl finished drinking, took out a tissue to wipe her sweat, and didn't exchange any words with Lu Zhe. It seemed as though she had simply coincidentally sat next to him.0

Su Ci then shifted her gaze to Lu Zhe. He was half-lowered his head, and only his well-shaped lips and chin were visible under the brim of his hat.0

The video was short, only about a minute long.0

Su Ci habitually saved the video and sent a message to Shen Xue: "Keep it up!"0

What did "keep it up" mean?0

Shen Xue, the tool person, immediately understood Su Ci's intention. Su Ci wanted her to keep filming videos of Lu Zhe.0

Yesterday, Shen Xue had been worried that the girl sitting next to Lu Zhe might have a crush on him. Clearly, she had overthought it, as the girl didn't interact with Lu Zhe at all.0

At school, rumors had started circulating that Lu Zhe had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Apart from Su Ci, it was unlikely that any other girl at school would like Lu Zhe.0

...0

That day, Su Ci woke up early. As she left her room, she saw Ji Chi closing the door and walking towards her.0

He greeted her first, "Good morning."0

"Good morning," Su Ci replied, glancing at him. She noticed that after just a few days of military training, he had tanned.0

Ji Chi's features were already sharp and cold, but after nearly a week of military training, he seemed like a sharpened blade, exuding a more intense aura.0

She felt Ji Chi was undergoing a transformation.0

Ji Chi nodded at Su Ci and then passed by her, heading downstairs.0

Su Ci followed behind him.0

Little Fatty's life value had only two hours left.0

She had already sent someone to guard outside the Ye family's house. If Little Fatty left, they would send her a message.0

"Ci Ci, why are you up so early today?" Su's Mother was a bit surprised. She was well aware that her daughter liked to sleep in.0

Su Ci sat down next to her mother and said, "I'm going to take Ning Ning and Little Tiancai to school later."0

The two little ones, hearing that their sister would take them to school, their big eyes lit up.0

Meeting their surprised gazes, Su Ci smiled, "Why are you looking at me? Do I look especially pretty today?"0

Across the table, Ji Chi, who was quietly eating breakfast, couldn't help but glance at Su Ci. His gaze quickly swept over her fair, delicate face.0

For the first time, he found that Su Ci was quite self-confident.0

After breakfast, it was 7:30 a.m., and the sun was already out.0

The sunlight at this time wasn't too strong; it was warm and pleasant, accompanied by a gentle breeze. Walking outside, one's mood was light and cheerful.0

Su Ci walked in front, with Little Su Ning and Little Tiancai on either side of her, each carrying the school's uniform backpacks.0

Ji Chi had originally planned to take the bus to school, but seeing the slender figure in front of him, he unconsciously slowed his pace and walked behind the three of them at a leisurely pace.0

He suddenly felt that today's weather was very nice.0

The car was already prepared.0

Before getting into the car, Little Su Ning turned around and waved at Ji Chi, "Goodbye, Chicken Wing Brother."0

Ji Chi's lips curled slightly, "Goodbye."0

After getting into the car, Su Ci received a message from her bodyguard: Little Fatty had left the house.0

The car stopped at the kindergarten gate. Su Ci escorted Little Su Ning and Little Tiancai to their classroom, where they happened to meet Little Kuaile, who was being led by a teacher.0

"Ci Sister," Little Kuaile's big eyes lit up. He hadn't seen Su Ci in a long time.0

"Good morning, Little Kuaile," Su Ci noticed that Little Kuaile had grown taller.0

Although Little Kuaile had lost his legs, his upper body, including above the knees, would still develop. In the future, prosthetics would be customized according to his growth.0

"Ci Sister, are you taking Ning Ning and Tiancai Brother to school?" Little Kuaile already knew that Su Ci was the sister of his two good friends.0

"Yes, I also wanted to see you," Su Ci greeted the kindergarten teacher and then led Little Kuaile to the side, "I know that there's a child in your class who bullies you, right? Sister will help you teach him a lesson, okay?"0

Little Kuaile shook his head, "Ning Ning and Tiancai Brother protect me. No one bullies me."0

Su ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‍Ci smiled. It seemed that the three little ones got along very well.0

"Sister," Little Kuaile looked at Su Ci, blinking his big eyes, a bit unsure and a bit lost.0

He pulled up his trouser leg, revealing the prosthetic underneath, "My feet scared the other kids, and they cried. Will they hate me now?"0

Ye Shangjin had called him a monster, but he didn't eat people. He wasn't a monster.0

Before, he had thought that being able to walk was a happy thing, but now his feet made others cry.0

Little Kuaile wasn't feeling very happy anymore.0

Su Ci crouched down, making eye contact with him. The little guy's big eyes were black and shiny, pure and innocent.0

Su Ci softly told him, "No, they just don't know you well yet. In the future, they'll understand that you're a kind and lovely little angel, and they'll all like you very much."0

Little Kuaile's eyes lit up. He believed whatever Ci Sister said.0

Su Ci patted his head, "Ning Ning and Little Tiancai like you very much. You have two good friends."0

Children were easy to comfort, and Little Kuaile immediately felt better.0

Su Ci said, "Don't think too much with your little head. Just stay happy and cheerful."0

After chatting, Little Kuaile waved goodbye to Su Ci and slowly walked to the classroom. He had already gotten used to the prosthetics and walked like other kids.0

Su Ci didn't leave. She checked the time and found there was still over an hour left.0

Soon, she saw the Old Lady leading Little Fatty walking over.0

Little Fatty was wearing a red T-shirt today, and his body was so plump that it seemed ready to burst out of his clothes. He was holding a giant hamburger in his hand.0

Every time she saw him, he was eating so much high-calorie food. No wonder he was so fat.0

"Shangjin, Grandma's leaving now. There are chicken legs in your backpack. If you get hungry during class, remember to eat them," the Old Lady said, worried that her grandson might get hungry.0

Little Fatty took a big bite of the hamburger as he walked and went straight into the classroom.0

The kindergarten teacher took the backpack from the Old Lady, feeling quite helpless.0

The school rules stated that children couldn't bring other food in, and the school provided breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks, so the kids wouldn't get hungry.0

However, this Old Lady was very stubborn and difficult to communicate with. Sometimes, dealing with such unreasonable parents was a headache for the teachers.0

During class, Su Ci stood outside the classroom and watched. She had already communicated with the kindergarten leaders, and two bodyguards were hidden in the shadows.0

Su Ci stood in an inconspicuous spot and looked inside.0

It was time for breakfast. The teacher distributed milk and bread to each child.0

After finishing his breakfast, Little Fatty, taking advantage of the teacher's inattention, threatened the child next to him to give him half of his food.0

Su Ci was speechless. Little Fatty had fully inherited the Old Lady's domineering (stubborn and unreasonable) nature.0

During class, the other children sat properly with their hands on their desks, listening attentively to the teacher's story. Meanwhile, Little Fatty fidgeted in his seat, moving around like a plump, restless worm.0

The kindergarten teacher had to call out Little Fatty's name several times, but after a while, he would start fidgeting again.0

Eventually, the teacher had no choice but to let him be.0

When it was time for free activities, Su Ci noticed that the other children played together in groups. Little Su Ning and Little Tiancai, along with Little Kuaile, gathered together to study building blocks, while only Little Fatty sat alone at his seat, with no one to play with.0

He played with his toys by himself, occasionally glancing at Little Kuaile and the others from a distance.0

Su Ci suddenly felt that the lonely Little Fatty was quite pitiful.0

The next moment, Little Fatty stood up and walked over to Little Kuaile and the others.0

Then, he reached out and pushed over the castle they had built.0

Su Ci was stunned. She retracted her earlier thought about Little Fatty being pitiful. No wonder no other child wanted to play with him; he was a little tyrant.0

Outside the classroom, Su Ci had been standing for nearly an hour. She was thirsty and tired.0

She checked the time and found there were still fifteen minutes left.0

Soon, it was time for outdoor activities, and she saw the children lining up.0

Su Ci reached the corner, not intending to disturb the children's class.0

The kindergarten teacher led two rows of little children out, and the lawn was set with many amusement facilities, which were the children's favorites.0

Su Ci hid in the corner and saw her brother having a great time. Little Kuaile, except for the previous time when he went to the amusement park with Lu Zhe and Su Ci, rarely had the chance to play on the slides in the park.0

This was his first time playing, and he was a bit nervous.0

Due to the prosthetic limb, his movements on the slide were a bit clumsy, but when he slid down, his little face was filled with the same joy as the other children.0

"Kuaile, let's go again," Little Su Ning held Little Kuaile's hand and walked up the small staircase next to the slide.0

Little Tiancai stood guard beside them understandingly.0

Su Ci's gaze shifted to the little fatty not far away.0

He stared longingly at Little Kuaile and the others, and when Little Kuaile looked at him, he would glare back fiercely.0

"Shangjin, why aren't you playing?" The kindergarten teacher noticed Little Fatty standing alone and asked him to join the other children.0

Little Fatty snorted and turned his head, "I don't want to play with them."0

The kindergarten teacher was troubled, as this child was unmanageable, and if she disciplined him too much, his parents might complain to the school.0

The kindergarten teacher said softly, "If you don't want to play, then stand under the tree. It's too sunny here."0

Little Fatty reluctantly walked to the shade of the tree.0

Su Ci glanced at the time; Little Fatty's life value was less than ten minutes.0

So, where did he fall to his death?0Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As Su Ci was puzzled, Little Fatty seized the moment when the teacher was overseeing the other children and quietly slipped away.0

Su Ci: ......0

So, it's no wonder he fell from the building with such an unruly, disobedient, hyperactive child.0

Su Ci wanted to see what Little Fatty was up to.0

She followed him.0

Little Fatty headed upstairs.0

Su Ci narrowed her eyes and followed him up.0

First floor.0

Second floor.0

Third floor.0

Seeing Little Fatty heading to the rooftop, Su Ci was exhausted and couldn't help but speak up, "What are you going up there for?"0

Little Fatty, slow to react, noticed someone following him.0

He was so startled that he stumbled and fell to the ground, "Are you a bad guy?"0

Su Ci retorted, "Have you ever seen a bad guy this pretty?"0

Little Fatty shook his head, "No."0

The older sister in front of him was as beautiful as a fairy.0

"Why are you going to the rooftop?" Su Ci looked down at Little Fatty, who was sitting on the ground.0

Little Fatty instinctively covered his pockets with both hands, "I won't tell you."0

Su Ci glanced at his life value, which was down to five minutes.0

She took a deep breath, ready to chat with this little brat until time ran out.0

Su Ci said, "Did you hide food in your pockets?"0

Little Fatty was surprised, "I won't share my food with you."0

He hugged his pockets even tighter.0

Su Ci asked him, "Did you run up here to hide and eat snacks secretly?"0

Little Fatty turned his head, very arrogant, "None of your business."0

Oh, so that's it.0

Su Ci was speechless. So, he ran upstairs to eat alone and then fell to his death?0

Was the Ye family really planning to spoil this child rotten?0

"Don't worry, I won't eat your stuff," Su Ci asked Little Fatty, "Am I pretty?"0

Little Fatty reluctantly nodded. This older sister was the prettiest he had ever seen.0

"Do you know why I'm so beautiful?" Su Ci's dark eyes gleamed with mischief, "Because I never overeat."0

She took out a small mirror from her bag, opened it, and placed it in front of Little Fatty, showing his face, "Look at you, aren't you ugly?"0

Little Fatty, although chubby, was fair and tender, not ugly, but very cute. However, his bossy and unreasonable personality made him unpopular among the adults, especially among the many lovely and well-behaved children.0

"No one told you that you're so fat. If you keep eating like this, you won't just get uglier, you'll turn into a pig," Su Ci glanced at Little Fatty's life value, which was down to four minutes.0

Little Fatty looked at his round face in the mirror, not as pretty as the older sister's. He pouted, "Grandma says it's a blessing to be able to eat, and being fat is a fortune."0

Su Ci felt helpless. She thought it was terrifying how some older people held onto outdated and unfounded beliefs, thinking that being fat was a blessing.0

They didn't realize that a child's body becoming too obese, without controlling their diet, could cause serious harm, leading to abnormal bone development, affecting health, and even triggering various diseases.0

This wasn't loving the child; it was harming him.0

"Your grandma must not have told you that fat kids are more prone to sickness and become stupid," Su Ci said.0

Little Fatty's mouth flattened, "You're lying."0

Su Ci knew it was no use reasoning with this Little Fatty. "I'm so pretty, how could I lie? I'll tell you, because you eat too much and are too fat, the other kids don't like playing with you."0

She directly stabbed at Little Fatty's fragile little heart.0

Little Fatty glared at Su Ci angrily, "I don't want to play with them."0

Su Ci glanced at the life value, which was down to three minutes.0

She smiled and continued to tease Little Fatty, "If you keep eating, you'll get even fatter and uglier, and you won't be able to walk. When someone beats you, you won't be able to catch up. Then, all the kids in kindergarten will laugh at you as a fat pig, a monster."0

"But, you're already a little fat pig, a little monster," Su Ci remembered how he bullied Little Kuaile.0

Little Fatty was so upset by Su Ci that he burst into tears, "I'm not a fat pig... I'm not a monster."0

Su Ci was ruthless, "I'm a beautiful fairy, and I say you are, so you are."0

Little Fatty cried even harder. In the Ye family, he was the little tyrant, spoiled, and in kindergarten, he bullied others. This was the first time someone called him ugly and said he was a fat pig.0

Little Fatty, though domineering and unreasonable, was merely a four-year-old child. Upon hearing such words, his delicate little heart was shattered.0

Su Ci leaned on the stair railing, changing to a more comfortable position, looking down at Little Fatty crying, not intending to comfort him.0

Let him experience what it feels like to be scolded and disliked, and what it's like when no one indulges or spoils him.0

Su Ci took out a tissue from her bag and threw it into Little Fatty's hand, "Cry, and when you're done, wipe your snot yourself."0

"You're bad, you're bad, I'll hit you," Little Fatty tried to get up and push Su Ci.0

"If you hit me, I'll throw you down from here, try it," Su Ci wasn't going to indulge him. Little Fatty was a little devil, and she would be even more of a devil.0

Oh, the pretty older sister was so scary.0

Little Fatty was too scared to hit her.0

In an instant, he cried even harder.0

Su Ci found it noisy and was about to tell Little Fatty to shut up when the next second, she received a golden cotton candy.0

She looked at Little Fatty's wrist, where the grid had turned yellow with five segments.0

That meant Little Fatty could only live until he was fifty.0

Among all the people she had saved, his lifespan was the shortest. She didn't know if it was due to his obesity.0

Receiving the golden cotton candy, Su Ci became less impatient. She softened a bit, "Alright, stop crying, or I'll throw you down."0

Little Fatty choked.0

This pretty older sister was so terrifying and annoying.0

The kindergarten teacher, realizing Ye Shangjin was missing, panicked and started looking for him.0

If the parents found out they had failed to supervise him, the consequences would be severe.0

One teacher stayed in the classroom to watch over the other children, while the other teacher found the security guard and searched the school for the missing Ye Shangjin.0

"Could the child have run out of the school?" The teacher was frantic, and if the child was really lost, not only would she be fired, but she might also be held responsible.0

"We need to check the surveillance to be sure," the security guard said.0

"Hurry up and check."0

Just as the teacher was on the verge of tears, she saw the beautiful girl appear, and behind her was Ye Shangjin.0

The kindergarten teacher was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran over.0

“He just ran upstairs by himself, wanting to go to the rooftop, which is very dangerous,” Su Ci said to the teacher. “Although Ye Shangjin is mischievous and hard to manage, as teachers, you should treat all children equally and have the responsibility to supervise every child.”0

Little Fatty is problematic, but he is only a four-year-old child. If he really fell from the building, the main reason would still be the negligence of the kindergarten teachers.0

If they had supervised him, the accident wouldn't have happened.0

Hearing this, the kindergarten teacher was stunned, then her face turned pale with shame.0

It was as if her dark secrets had been exposed.0

She had indeed, because of Ye Shangjin's mischievous nature and unlikable demeanor, unconsciously neglected him.0

Su Ci stopped there.0

She lowered her eyes to look at Little Fatty beside her, “Stop thinking about eating all the time. If I find you fatter next time, I’ll still call you Fatty.”0

Little Fatty sniffled, feeling like crying again.0

After saving him, Su Ci returned to the car and finally breathed a sigh of relief.0

Although the process of saving Little Fatty was smooth, without any accidents or complications, she had stood outside the classroom for over an hour, and her legs were already sore.0

Su Ci leaned back in her seat, letting the driver take her back to the Su family home.0

At that moment, her phone received a message.0

It was another video from Shen Xue.0

Su Ci perked up and opened the message.0

In the video, Lu Zhe was practicing military boxing.0

The young man's gaze was sharp, his movements were crisp and decisive, and there was an indescribable fierceness about him that was captivating.0

Whether it was the bow stance punch or the horse stance strike, every move of Lu Zhe's was filled with explosive power.0

Su Ci was completely entranced, her eyes curved into a smile, instantly turning into a fan girl.0

After finishing the routine, the instructor dismissed them to rest.0

Lu Zhe sat down alone on the stone steps, while others gradually began to rest.0

Su Ci noticed that the girl this time did not sit next to Lu Zhe but walked to his front side.0

The girl kept her face turned sideways, chatting with the girl next to her, her smile never fading.0

Then, the girl picked up her water bottle, ready to drink.0

When she twisted the cap, her hand slipped, and the cap fell to the ground, rolling backward.0

The video was far away, and there was no sound, so Su Ci couldn't hear what the girl said, but she could guess that the girl was asking Lu Zhe to pick up the cap that had rolled to his feet.0

The girl took back the water bottle cap from Lu Zhe's hand, smiled, and thanked him, then turned back to continue chatting with her friend.0

Su Ci narrowed her eyes.0

Then, she saw the girl take out some candy and distribute it to those around her. Finally, she turned around and handed the candy to Lu Zhe, asking if he wanted any.0

Under the brim of his hat, Lu Zhe's cold, stiff face showed a faint expression. Through his mouth movements, Su Ci knew he said: "No, thanks."0

Su Ci felt a bit annoyed. She sent a message to Shen Xue: What's that girl's deal?0

Tool-person Shen Xue: Which girl?0

Shen Xue didn't understand what Su Ci meant. She also opened the video Su Ci had sent her, watched it once, and then replied: You mean the girl sitting in front of Lu Zhe?0

Su Ci: Yeah.0

Tool-person Shen Xue: I don't see anything wrong with that girl.0

Her water bottle cap fell, so she asked Lu Zhe to help pick it up. As for the candy, she gave it to everyone around her, so it wouldn't be right not to give some to Lu Zhe behind her.0

Su Ci likes Lu Zhe too much, which is why she can't stand any girl having the slightest contact with him.0

However, I think Su Ci's worry is unnecessary.0

I don't see any indication that the girl has feelings for Lu Zhe.0

Shen Xue couldn't see any issues, but Su Ci was different. She had been in the entertainment industry before, where there were all kinds of skilled characters. There were many people with exquisite acting skills.0

Playing small tricks and using little schemes were things that, in her eyes, weren't so easy to get away with.0

On the playground, the instructor called everyone to gather.0

Lu Zhe quickly stood up.0

The girl followed behind Lu Zhe, catching up to him and kindly patted his back, "Lu classmate, your shoelace is untied."0

Lu Zhe lowered his eyes and saw that the lace on his left shoe was indeed loose. "Thank you," he said.0

He bent down, his long fingers deftly tying the shoelace.0

After Lu Zhe straightened up, the girl gently said, “You're welcome.”0

Then, she ran to join the gathering.0

The girl had just unintentionally given Lu Zhe a kind reminder.
