Chapter 352: Shi Ran Still Wants Her Daddy

Sheng Hanyu placed the food container into the kitchen, then came out and naturally took Shi Youxuan's hand, pulling her into the Study.

Closing the Study door, Shi Youxuan asked, "Something up?"

"Something is up."

Sheng Hanyu said there was something up but didn't say what it was, just stared at her infatuatedly.

Finally, he made Shi Youxuan feel self-conscious—she hadn't washed her face yet.

"Don't look at me, or I'll dig your eyeballs out," she warned fiercely.

The other party, however, wasn't afraid at all: "Dig away, as long as you dig them out yourself, I'm willing!"

Shi Youxuan:...

Sheng Hanyu continued: "As long as you don't regret it, then go ahead and dig."

Shi Youxuan was stubborn: "Don't try to scare me, I wasn't raised on fear."

Sheng Hanyu: "I'm really not scaring you, I'm serious. If you dig my eyes out, don't you have to be responsible for the rest of my life? As long as you agree to be responsible for me, I'm willing."

Shi Youxuan:...

She never knew when Sheng Hanyu had become so eloquent.

No, that's not right—it's glib and thick-skinned.

She gently spat out one word: "Scram—"

Sheng Hanyu, of course, would not scram, and said considerately: "It's still early, go back to sleep for a while. I'll call you when it's time to get up."

It was indeed a bit early, but with him guarding outside, could Shi Youxuan possibly fall asleep?

She shook her head: "I'm not sleeping anymore, I'm going to wash up."

Brushing her teeth and washing her face, she then applied light makeup and tied her long hair into a ponytail at the back of her head.

Shi Youxuan took a beige suit out of the wardrobe to change into, and chose a pink children's outfit for Ranran, holding it up against her daughter's small frame; it was quite nice and suitable for today's occasion.

The little one was still fast asleep, curling herself into a ball while sleeping; she was always like this.

Shi Ran lacked a sense of security; although she appeared lively and cheerful on the surface, the environment she grew up in made this child different from other children.

Shi Youxuan kissed her daughter's forehead and gave her a hug.

The little one was very unhappy about being disturbed; although she hadn't woken up yet, she subconsciously swatted with her hand.

Just as Shi Youxuan was preparing to leave, the little one suddenly called out: "Daddy."

"What did you say?" She looked at her daughter in shock.

Shi Youxuan thought the child had woken up, and thought Sheng Hanyu had told her something yesterday that she didn't know about, but the little one's eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes didn't even flutter.

She must still be asleep, talking in her sleep.

"@#￥%*, Daddy accompany me to school%…………￥" Shi Ran was indeed talking in her sleep, muttering a bunch of things Shi Youxuan didn't understand.

She didn't understand the rest, but she understood that middle part!

She sat on the edge of the bed, tears falling down in a rush.

Shi Youxuan realized she had still taken things too simply; she thought that as long as the child had food, drink, clothes, and shelter, plus her own love, she could have a wonderful childhood.

Now it seems that is really not the case.

Last night, Sheng Hanyu told Shi Ran that her "Daddy is dead," and although Shi Ran didn't appear very sad, she called for Daddy in her dreams.

Shi Ran was pulled out of the warm quilt by her mother, her morning grumpiness off the charts: "Hate it, I don't want to get up!"

"Don't want to go to school either?" Shi Youxuan said softly.

"Mom, what clothes am I wearing today? Is the school far?" The little one scrambled up from the bed in one motion and jumped onto the floor to wash up in the bathroom.

Brushing teeth and washing face, she finished in two minutes.

Water droplets were wet only on her cheeks, and the areas outside her cheeks were dry!

Shi Youxuan shook her head, and the little girl made a bitter face: "Mom, that's good enough. Today is meeting the Principal, it's not good to be late."

"You won't be late. Go back and wash again, and brush your teeth again too," Shi Youxuan ordered.

Since returning to Jiangzhou, Shi Youxuan had wanted to start cultivating her daughter's ability to be independent; she never helped with things the child could do herself, but she would check, and if it wasn't good the first time, then a second time, and if it wasn't up to standard the second time, then a third—good habits had to be formed.

Although the little girl was reluctant, she still obediently went back to wash up again. This time it took a bit longer, but it was clean!

"Very good, eat breakfast!"

Shi Youxuan nodded with satisfaction and turned to go to the dining room.

Shi Ran: "If it's made by you, I won't eat it."

Shi Youxuan:...

Sheng Hanyu heard this from outside and laughed "giggle," incredibly happy.

"Ranran, breakfast was made by Uncle, eat without worry."

"Good morning, Uncle!"

Hearing Sheng Hanyu's voice, Shi Ran's little face glowed with excitement, and she immediately ran out, "Uncle" this and "Uncle" that, chattering non-stop.

During breakfast, Sheng Hanyu didn't lecture Shi Ran on what to say when meeting the Principal later, but instead told her that after leaving school, he would take her shopping, they would eat out at noon, play video games in the afternoon, and watch a movie in the evening...

This day was arranged quite fully.

"Yay, yay! Is Mom coming with us?" Shi Ran's eyes curved into crescents with happiness. Hearing about playing, she wished she could go out right now—it would be best if she didn't even have to meet the Principal!

Shi Youxuan glared at her: "Behave yourself, remember you are a little girl, you need to leave a good impression on the Principal and teachers. If they don't want you, I won't want you either."

She wasn't scaring the child; it was just that Shi Ran was truly too worrying.

She was a handful back in kindergarten, always fighting with the boys, and she was worried Shi Ran would cause trouble at school!

After the meal, the three of them set off for the school.

The school was a famous aristocratic primary school in Jiangzhou, with expensive tuition and strong teaching staff; both the software and hardware were the best in Jiangzhou.

There is a downside, too—it is especially hard to get into!

The school has very strict requirements for its students; every student who wants to enter this school must pass a rigorous examination to get in.

As long as the exam is not passed, then sorry, even if the parents have any amount of money, it is useless!

Therefore, Shi Youxuan was very nervous, so nervous that her palms were sweating, and she kept urging her daughter: "Be polite, be polite, be polite, don't be nervous, be lively, generous, interesting, serious..."

Shi Ran:...

"Mom, why do you look more nervous than me?"

Shi Youxuan did not admit it: "Don't talk nonsense, I am not."

Sheng Hanyu whispered in her ear: "Relax, I bought this school."

Shi Youxuan:...

The Principal's office.

The Principal was a middle-aged man in his fifties, short and chubby.

He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his round, chubby face, was dressed in blue overalls and a white shirt, and even when he wasn't speaking, he looked smiley.

He looked very kind, and coupled with what Sheng Hanyu had just said to her, Shi Youxuan's nervous mood was finally relieved.

However, she soon discovered that she had misjudged him.

Although the Principal looked kind and spoke in an easygoing manner, he did not give Shi Ran any special treatment just because she was brought by the boss himself—the required exams were not reduced by a single bit!

First was the written test.

It was taken right in the Principal's office; Shi Youxuan glanced at the test paper—the difficulty was not high, it was alright.

During the time since returning to the country, she had taught her daughter quite a few simplified characters, so this test paper should not be difficult for Shi Ran.

The test paper was finished quickly; the teacher took it, looked at it, and immediately frowned: "How could it be like this?"

"What's wrong? Let me see." The Principal took the test paper, smiled, and then crumpled the test paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
