Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Has My Brat Finally Seen the Light? Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Has My Brat Finally Seen the Light? When Zhaozhao fell, she struck her knee on a stone, causing a soft tissue contusion. Luckily, the bone was fine, but her knee swelled up significantly.
To facilitate a swift recovery, the doctor suggested she limit bending her knee for a while.
So, Chuyi got her a wheelchair.
Upon leaving the hospital room, Chuyi wheeled her into the elevator where a mother and her son, about four or five years old, with a sturdy look, were already present. The boy kept staring curiously at Zhaozhao throughout.
Zhaozhao smiled at them.
The boy moved closer to his mother and then asked crisply, “Mommy, is that sister a cripple?”
Before he could finish, the young woman covered his mouth and looked up embarrassedly, giving Zhaozhao a sheepish smile.
Zhaozhao, already feeling that being in a wheelchair was a bit much, smiled awkwardly when she heard him and then heard Chuyi say sternly, “Sister is not a cripple. Her leg is just injured.”
The little guy was startled by Chuyi’s stern look and hid in his mother’s embrace.
After getting out of the elevator, Zhaozhao looked up at Chuyi and said, “Why were you so serious just now? You scared the little kid.”
Chuyi didn’t respond but helped her sit in a chair in the lobby while he went to return the wheelchair.
When he got back, he picked up Zhaozhao from the chair and headed outside.
The people around them all looked over.
Suddenly being watched by so many people made Zhaozhao even more embarrassed.
She thought it would have been better to stay in the wheelchair.
Fortunately, Zhaozhao’s knee swelling had gone down by the next day. It was still a bit painful, but she could walk on it if she pushed herself.
Everyone suddenly noticed that over one weekend, their class’s top student and the new transfer student had become much closer.
Especially the top student, who used to be unapproachable, now carried the transfer student’s backpack every day and even provided a full service of fetching meals and water.
Everyone was speculating about their relationship.
Especially Wei’an, who actually saw the two of them coming out of a villa together.
Unsurprisingly, their parents were called to school.
To avoid embarrassing Zhaozhao, Suxin dressed up specially and appeared in the homeroom teacher Xu Caiyun’s office.
“Hello, I am Zhaozhao’s parent.”
Xu Caiyun stood up from her seat, “Hello, I’m her homeroom teacher. Please take a seat.” After finishing, she glanced at the time, then took out her phone and said, “Please wait a moment, I’ll call the other parent.”
Just as her call connected, Suxin’s phone started ringing.
Xu Caiyun couldn’t help but turn to look in Suxin’s direction.
The latter smiled and said, “If everything is as expected, the parent of the other student you are trying to reach should also be me.”
Xu Caiyun, holding her phone, looked at her in surprise.
Suxin: “I forgot to introduce, I am also Chuyi’s mom.”
Suxin smiled and explained, “Our families have known each other for generations. Zhaozhao’s parents are not in Jing City, so they asked my husband and me to take care of her. That’s why I am here as her parent.”
She had thought the two kids were from the same family.
“That’s right,” she continued, “Recently, there have been some rumors in the class about the two kids. It seems there are signs of puppy love. Based on my observations, they indeed spend a lot of time together, so I thought it necessary to discuss this with you as a parent.”
“My boy is finally coming to his senses?” Suxin said, unable to hide her excitement.
Her excitement seemed to carry a hint of thrill.
