Zhang Xiaohao was sleeping soundly, vaguely feeling his body shaking violently.
He didn’t pay much attention to it and continued sleeping.
Gradually, the shaking became more intense.
Opening his eyes, he was greeted by Li Jingru’s watery, large eyes.
"You’re awake!" Li Jingru said shyly.
"Hehe," Zhang Xiaohao smiled playfully.
"I know you’re leaving today. I don’t have anything to repay you with, so I can only thank you in this way!" Li Jingru said boldly.
"Silly girl!" Zhang Xiaohao touched her face affectionately.
At that moment, there were no words.
With a carp’s flip, he turned over and took the initiative, launching an attack.
The living room finally quieted down; after washing up, the two of them entered the bedroom.
"Ah! Tangtang, you’re awake!" Seeing that Tangtang was already awake, Li Jingru quickly rushed over.
She swung her right hand back and forth in front of Tangtang’s eyes.
"Tangtang, can you see now?" Li Jingru asked eagerly.
"Little Auntie, what are you doing? Tangtang still can’t see!" Tangtang blinked and said.
"Ah! How can this be?" Li Jingru exclaimed anxiously.
"Little Auntie, I’m just teasing you. Tangtang can finally see the light again," Tangtang said excitedly.
"You little scamp, Tangtang, how dare you trick me! As a punishment, you have to eat more later," Li Jingru said.
Overcome with emotion, she hugged Tangtang, and tears streamed down her face.
"Stop crying, or you’ll turn into a big tear-stained cat," Zhang Xiaohao laughed.
"Brother Hao, thank you!"
"Big Brother, thank you!"
Li Jingru and Tangtang both spoke at the same time.
"Alright, no need to thank me; we’re all family here," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Okay," the two nodded.
"By the way, Jingru, which hospital did you take Tangtang to for the surgery?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Holy Red Bright Hospital, why?" Li Jingru asked, puzzled.
"No reason!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
In his heart, he took note of the name, determined to uproot this malignant tumor when he visited the U.S.
Suddenly, a sound of a hungry stomach emerged.
The three of them exchanged glances.
"You two sit here. I’ll go and cook for us," Li Jingru said with a smile.
After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Big Brother, I saw everything that just happened," Tangtang blinked and said.
"Ah! What did you see?" Zhang Xiaohao said speechlessly.
"Big Brother, Little Auntie is a really good person. You must treat her well in the future!" Tangtang said, shaking Zhang Xiaohao’s hand.
"Tangtang, don’t worry. I will definitely take good care of you both from now on," Zhang Xiaohao laughed.
"Yay! I knew Big Brother is the best," Tangtang said with a smile.
After a while, the door opened again.
"Brother Hao, Tangtang, the meal is ready. Let’s eat!" Li Jingru said.
As she spoke, she walked over and embraced Tangtang as they headed outside.
"Not bad at all! Six dishes and one soup, quite a feast!" Zhang Xiaohao laughed.
"Big brother, my Little Aunt’s cooking is really good, you should try it," Tangtang said.
Picking up the chopsticks, she placed a slice of pork kidney into Zhang Xiaohao’s bowl.
"..." Zhang Xiaohao, with a full head of black lines, silently gave Li Jingru a look, just as Li Jingru glanced over as well.
When their eyes met, in a flash! Li Jingru’s gaze immediately reddened, and she lowered her head, quietly serving dishes to Zhang Xiaohao and Tangtang.
The meal ended in a warm and cozy atmosphere.
After putting down his chopsticks, Zhang Xiaohao said,
"What are your plans for the future?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"I am thinking of quitting my job as a flight attendant to find a new job, preferably as a teacher, to take care of Tangtang while waiting for you!" Li Jingru said, lowering her head.
"Hmm," Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
He took out his cell phone, found Principal Qian’s number, and dialed it on speakerphone.
After ringing for a while, the call was answered.
"Commander, what instructions do you have for me?" a respectful voice came through the phone, from Principal Qian.
"Old Qian, no need to be nervous, I just wanted to have a chat," Zhang Xiaohao said lazily.
"Commander, I’m not nervous! Please, give your orders," Principal Qian replied respectfully.
"Old Qian, let me ask you, does our school have an affiliated elementary school?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Commander, yes, the best First Experimental Primary School in Nanhua City is under my jurisdiction," Principal Qian said.
"Oh! You have authority over that too?" Zhang Xiaohao asked curiously.
"Yes! It’s because it’s the affiliated primary school to Nanhua First Middle School that I have such authority," Principal Qian explained.
"Does the school need any teachers?" Zhang Xiaohao asked again.
"We already have enough teachers, but we’re lacking a Deputy Director of the Academic Affairs Office!" Principal Qian was very sociable.
"Old Qian, thank you! I appreciate your intention. I’ll send someone to see you in a while, and you can make the arrangements then," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Commander, rest assured, I will arrange everything perfectly!" Principal Qian assured, patting his chest.
"I trust your work," Zhang Xiaohao said.
He hung up the phone and put it away.
Zhang Xiaohao thought for a moment and, as if performing a magic trick, took out a package of Big Bear cigarettes and placed it on the table.
"Ah! Brother Hao, where did you get these cigarettes from?" Li Jingru exclaimed.
"Yeah, big brother, can magic really conjure things up out of thin air?" Tangtang blinked her large, adorable eyes and asked.
"Some things must remain secret!" Zhang Xiaohao smiled mysteriously.
Before the two could continue to inquire,
"After a few days, you go to Nanhua First Middle School and look for Principal Qian. He’s the head of the school. Just tell him I instructed you to come and then give this to him; he’ll know what to do with the rest," Zhang Xiaohao instructed.
"Hmm, Brother Hao, you’ve gone out of your way for me," Li Jingru said.
"Do we still need to stand on ceremony with each other?" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a checkbook and a pen.
With brisk strokes, he wrote out a check for two million, tore it off, and handed it over.
"Ah! Brother Hao, what’s this?" Li Jingru asked, puzzled.
"Why ask so many questions? Just take it," Zhang Xiaohao said irritably.
He forcefully stuffed the check into her hand.
Before she could finish her sentence, Zhang Xiaohao interrupted firmly.
"If you’re going to be my woman, then hold on to it!" Zhang Xiaohao declared.
"Hmm," Li Jingru blushed and nodded, tucking away the check.
"Tangtang, be good. From now on, you must listen to Little Aunt at home, got it?" Zhang Xiaohao said, smiling as he stroked Tangtang’s little head.
"Big brother, are you leaving now? Can’t you just stay and not go anywhere today, and spend the day at home with Tangtang?" Tangtang shook Zhang Xiaohao’s arm, her eyes full of hope as she spoke.
