Sweetlove: Spoiled by My Childhood Sweetheart

Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Dummy, Wishes Won’t Come True If You Say Them Out Loud

Qin Suxin saw that he was the only one to look back and couldn’t help but lean forward to look behind him and asked, “Weren’t you going to call for Zhaozhao? Where is she?”

“She went to school!” Sheng Chuyi said with his head down.

“This early?”

Qin Suxin was startled, then glanced at her son’s face and said, “Did you two have a fight?” These two kids are always inseparable; if Zhaozhao went to school without waiting for him, it must be because this brat made her angry.

Sheng Chuyi pursed his lips and said nothing.

“Alright, then you should eat quickly too!” Qin Suxin urged him.

After finishing breakfast, Sheng Chuyi went to school alone.

When he arrived at the classroom, he saw that Shen Zhaozhao was already sitting at her desk.

Upon seeing him enter, the little girl’s big eyes flickered like a startled little rabbit, and she quickly turned her head to look the other way.

Sheng Chuyi’s eyes darkened slightly as he walked over, and after sitting down, he took out a bottle of yogurt from his bag and placed it in front of Shen Zhaozhao.

He just couldn’t bring himself to say the words “I’m sorry.”

The little girl sat up straight, neither reaching for the yogurt nor looking at him.

During the first class, the homeroom teacher brought in a new student.

It was a girl who was very cute, named Sang Youyou.

“Who would like to sit with the new student?” After introducing the new student, the homeroom teacher asked everyone.

“Teacher, me, me, me…” Shen Zhaozhao was the first to raise her hand.

Sheng Chuyi frowned with his beautiful brows and looked over at her.

To think that before she always fought to sit with him, and now she actually wanted to sit with someone else.

“Fine, then Shen Zhaozhao you can sit with Sang Youyou in the front!” the homeroom teacher instructed, pointing to the front seats for the two of them.

Then, he made the boy who was originally sitting up front move to sit next to Sheng Chuyi.

All day, Shen Zhaozhao was playing with the new student.

During that time, Sheng Chuyi looked over at her many times, but that girl only had eyes for the new student and didn’t look back even once.

Finally, school was over.

The two of them walked home, one after the other.

Shen Zhaozhao opened her front door to go inside and realized Sheng Chuyi had followed her in.

“Why are you following me?” For the first time, the little girl initiated conversation with him.

Sheng Chuyi opened his mouth and said, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to be mean to you yesterday. Can you please not be mad anymore?”

Shen Zhaozhao bit her lip and said nothing.

She didn’t want to forgive him just like that; she wanted to stay angry for another day, no, three more days.

…

In the blink of an eye, the two youngsters’ tenth birthday arrived.

Since they shared the same birthdate, both families celebrated it together every year.

This year was no different.

Both families had specially arranged a trip to the seaside resort.

On the birthday itself, they booked a five-star restaurant by the beach and dressed up the two little ones like a little princess and a little prince.

Sheng Chuyi was wearing a little face, uncomfortably tugging at his little suit, disliking this kind of attire.

On the other hand, Shen Zhaozhao really liked the princess dress she was in.

Besides that, they had prepared a huge cake for the two.

Before eating the cake, they had to make a wish and blow out the candles together.

The flickering flames illuminated their fair little faces.

The two little ones closed their eyes and after a while, opened them again.

“We can blow out the candles now!” Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t wait to call to Sheng Chuyi.

The two little heads leaned in together and blew out the candles with combined effort.

“What did you wish for, Zhaozhao?” Qin Suxin asked with a smiling grin.

“My wish is to grow up fast, so I don’t have to take exams or do homework,” Shen Zhaozhao said loudly.

Qin Suxin burst into laughter.

Zhaozhao’s mother felt somewhat embarrassed and didn’t want to admit that this girl was born to her; what should she do?

Sheng Chuyi glanced at Shen Zhaozhao and said, “Dummy, a wish won’t come true if you say it out loud!”

“Ah?” Shen Zhaozhao suddenly became flustered, “What should I do? Can I make another wish?”

“Of course not,” Sheng Chuyi said, “A person can only make one wish at a time.”

“Alright then!”

Shen Zhaozhao hung her little head low, slightly unhappy, but quickly cheered up when she thought about getting to make another wish next year.

Curiously, she looked at Sheng Chuyi and asked, “What did you wish for, Yiyi?”

Sheng Chuyi gave her a look as if staring at a dimwit, “I told you, a wish won’t come true if it’s said out loud.”

“Alright!” Shen Zhaozhao finally gave up on asking further.
