Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The night returned to its lonesome status.

Shen Qinghao laid on her bed, resting her head on her palms, while her beautiful almond-shaped eyes stared straight at the ceiling.

She was running through the memories of her previous lifetime and discovered that there were a few plotlines that were gradually changing. This indicated that both her and the Shen family’s eventual end were susceptible to change.

Thud, thud, thud.

Shen Qinghuan heard a few knocks against her room door. Father Shen kept his voice soft as he gently called from outside, “Huan Huan, are you asleep?”

Earlier, when Shen Qinghuan returned home, she had not seen Father Shen. After all, most businessmen tended to be very busy. However, it was only after having gone through a lifetime that she finally understood how foolish she had been when she argued with her parents in her youth.

“Not yet.” Shen Qinghuan jumped off of her bed before pushing open her room door.

Father Shen was holding a cup of warm milk, something he always did every night. “I was worried you may be feeling unhappy because of today’s exam. I fell asleep early and forgot to bring you your milk in time.”

When Shen Qinghuan received the glass cup, her fingers were slightly stiff.

The Shen family did not have any curfews, unlike what others believed. It was just that, no matter how busy Father Shen was, he would always watch to make sure Shen Qinghuan had her warm milk at this time.

At a social drinking event, Father Shen had heard from an experienced traditional chinese medicine master that drinking milk was good for the skin. Since then, he formed the habit of giving Shen Qinghuan some milk every night before she slept.

In her previous life, Li Xiaojie had made a call to their home to share that Shen Qinghuan did poorly in her high school entrance examinations and was feeling depressed. She even claimed that Shen Qinghuan had suicidal thoughts.

At the time, Shen Qinghuan only wished to be with Wen Huaibei, so she absolutely refused to go along with her father’s wishes to remain in A School.

In fact, prior to leaving school, Shen Qinghuan even tore apart the admissions letter Father Shen had obtained for her through his own connections. She had completely let him down.

“Father.” Shen Qinghuan finished the milk with loud gulps. “Don’t worry. Your daughter is a little cockroach that refuses to die. I won’t be upset over such a small setback.”

Father Shen hesitated for a moment. He felt that his daughter seemed to have changed, but he could not pinpoint the changes accurately.

Shen Haotian only managed to obtain his precious baby daughter when he was in his middle-age. That was why, even if Shen Qinghuan desired the stars in the sky, he would do his utmost to satisfy her.

“Do you wish to stay in A School with Xiaojie?” Shen Haotian received the empty glass from Shen Qinghuan and asked.

In their previous life, Li Xiaojie had similarly failed to be admitted into A School. However, because Shen Qinghuan had insisted on going to a vocational school, and the admission Father Shen had begged for could not be wasted, it eventually landed in Li Xiaojie’s arms.

Right now, Shen Qinghuan absolutely would not allow such a good thing to happen to Li Xiaojie!

As Shen Qinghuan thought about this, she subconsciously gave Shen Haotian a hug.

Her embrace came without warning and left Father Shen overwhelmed with pleasant surprise.

Shen Qinghuan leaned against Father Shen’s shoulder and gloomily responded, “Papa, if I really manage to be admitted into A School, then in the future, I’ll definitely become a scholar that even our ancestors will be proud of.”

“You ah, you’re already an adult, yet you’re still acting spoiled.” Shen Haotian patted Shen Qinghuan’s back as he warmly responded, “I don’t need you to do anything like that. I only hope for you to grow up safely and happily.”

Shen Qinghuan felt her nose turning sour.

However, Father Shen assumed he had said something wrong to hurt his daughter. He searched through his pockets for quite some time but failed to find a single tissue. Instead, he brought his own bank card out. “Tomorrow, call Xiaojie out to accompany you. Go take a look around and see if there are any fun places to visit. Take it as an opportunity to relax now that the entrance examinations have ended.”

Her silly father.

Shen Qinghuan was deeply moved and felt her urge to cry increasing.

Other families waited for their children’s results to be released before bringing them out to play. But Shen Qinghuan was especially supportive. He did not wait a single moment to give Shen Qinghuan his card.

She naturally could not accept this.

Shen Qinghuan shook her head and returned the card to Shen Haotian.
