Chapter 17: Chapter 17 His Child Came to Repay a Favor
“Yiyi, look, my hand is all better now! I bought these snacks especially for you as a thank you for always carrying my backpack.” Shen Zhaozhao stuffed the snacks into the other’s arms before they could even speak, wearing a pleadingly cute smile on her face.
Oh, she really is a clever little cutie!!!
“Are you sure all of these are for me?”
Sheng Chuyi glanced at the snacks, which were all the kinds she liked herself.
Shen Zhaozhao nodded her little head vigorously. As long as she didn’t admit it, they were for him.
“Fine!”
Sheng Chuyi stretched his hand towards her.
“Huh?” Shen Zhaozhao was a bit stunned.
He actually wanted them?
But, didn’t he dislike snacks?
“What, weren’t they bought for me?” Sheng Chuyi scoffed inwardly, not fooled by her little schemes.
The little girl looked at the full bag of snacks with reluctance. She had spent her entire month’s allowance on them.
Shen Zhaozhao swallowed hard, her eyes hopeful, “Can you leave some for me?” Seeing that Sheng Chuyi didn’t respond, she quickly added, “Even just one packet!”
“No!” Sheng Chuyi took the bag of snacks from her hands.
“Not even one packet?” Shen Zhaozhao stared intently at the bag in his hands, her little face falling.
Woo, her happiness was gone!!!
——
During the first exam in elementary school, Shen Zhaozhao scored zero, her eyes red as she left the school.
It just so happened that Daddy Zhaozhao was coming home from work and, seeing his precious daughter’s condition, he immediately asked, “What’s wrong, sweetheart? Did someone at school bully you? Tell Daddy, and I’ll teach them a lesson.”
“It bullied me.”
Upon seeing Daddy Zhaozhao, Shen Zhaozhao felt so wronged and handed him her test paper with a big zero on it.
Daddy Zhaozhao studied the blank paper carefully several times, even rubbing his eyes vigorously before looking up and asking, “Sweetheart, did you take the wrong test paper? There’s nothing written on this one!”
Shen Zhaozhao said with a pitiful face, “I read through it, knew everything, and just handed it directly to the teacher.”
“…”
Daddy Zhaozhao took a deep breath.
Don’t be mad, don’t be mad, his child was here to repay a favor.
How could she study properly, what if she learned too much? What if she left him to go far away for college? What if she never came back?
She needs to stay by his side!
After all, someone still needs to sweep the streets, and someone needs to pick up the rubbish on the roadside.
Daddy Zhaozhao took several deep breaths to calm himself, then squeezed out a smile towards Shen Zhaozhao: “Sweetheart, hungry? Let’s go home and eat, Daddy will make you braised spareribs.”
Scoring zero was just that; there was no room for regression, only progress from now on!
That evening, Daddy Zhaozhao posted the zero score test paper on TikTok: “Without surprises, the entire district’s streets will be swept by my daughter. Other parents, please educate your children well and don’t compete with her for the job.”
No sooner had he posted it than a slew of comments appeared:
“Let your daughter keep the roadside steps cleaner next time, or my son won’t sleep comfortably!”
“Please, have your daughter be careful not to sweep away my son’s bowl placed on the roadside.”
“Tell your daughter to sweep aside, don’t block my daughter from catching the northerly wind!”
“You’re overdoing it, at least leave one street for my daughter…”
“…”
Daddy Zhaozhao spent the entire evening reading comments on his phone, somehow becoming fond of the idea of street sweeping.
It’s a decent job, after all!
