Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu were stunned upon hearing this, then they both looked at Jiang Mianmian in unison, "Mianmian, you’re going to Capital City, why didn’t you tell mom and dad?"
Jiang Mianmian looked innocent and confused, "... I just found out too."
But she then remembered that she indeed had mentioned this to Yu Cheng over the phone.
At that time, they had only talked about the summer vacation but hadn’t specified which summer, and who could have expected that Yu Cheng was the type to act immediately upon saying something?
Although Jiang Mianmian felt that this was rather sudden, Yu Cheng had come all the way to pick her up, so she felt bad about not going.
After all, Capital City was so far away, and it would hurt his feelings to make him take the trip for nothing.
Of course, another reason was that Jiang Mianmian herself also wanted to see Capital City.
In her nine years of life, she hadn’t even been to the county town.
She scratched her face and said, "Mom and dad, I forgot. I did indeed mention to Brother Yu about going to play in Capital City this summer vacation but forgot to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu turned to look at each other and knew that neither had any objections to the matter.
They were not conservative parents and felt that if their daughter wanted to go out and see the world, it was a good thing.
Plus, since Yu Cheng had come all the way to pick her up, they couldn’t let him make the trip for nothing.
Thus, Jiang Changhai waved his hand and said, "Alright, Mianmian, if you want to go to Capital City, dad will buy you the train tickets for next Monday. This Thursday is your grandpa’s birthday, we must wait until after celebrating your grandpa’s birthday before you can leave. Buddy Yu, you’re not in a rush, right?"
Yu Cheng smiled, "No rush."
With that, Jiang Mianmian’s trip to Capital City with him was settled.
After dinner, Jiang Mianmian thought about the gift for being first in her class that Yu Cheng hadn’t given her yet.
She cozied up to Yu Cheng with a smile, "Brother Yu, you promised me a gift for coming first, you haven’t given it to me yet?"
"I’ll give it to you now."
Yu Cheng raised his hand and ruffled her fluffy hair, then turned around and took his heavy backpack.
Immediately, an expectant expression appeared on Jiang Mianmian’s tender face, then she saw him pull out four thick, finely-bound editions of the Four Great Classical Novels, along with more than ten books of internal learning material for various middle school subjects.
"What do you think? Do you like them?" Yu Cheng asked confidently, patting the stack of thick books.
Little Lamb was a little bookworm who loved reading. Giving her so many books and materials, she ought to be happy, right?
Jiang Mianmian looked lifelessly at the two thick stacks of books, barely controlling herself not to cry out loud.
What kind of mortal suffering was this? Yu Cheng, we’re not supposed to suffer . Why would you do this to me?
She was already barely keeping up with the materials provided by the system and the reference books from her two teachers, and now he was sending her more books.
Seeing her expression was off, Yu Cheng raised an eyebrow and asked, "What’s wrong? Little Lamb, don’t you like them?"
What could Jiang Mianmian say?
She bravely put on a smile, "I like them, haha, I really like them a lot."
Watching from the side, Su Wanyu, who understood her daughter’s lazy nature all too well, immediately schadenfreude, "My girl, you better not fail to appreciate Yu Cheng’s kindness. These are the books Brother Yu brought all the way from Capital City."
Jiang Changhai looked at his daughter’s pitiful face, struggling to express her misery, but unlike his wife, he didn’t tease her.
