Sheng Zhiyan remained indignant. “Uncle, I’m not messing around. I was seriously waiting for Little Jiu!”
As he spoke, he expectantly asked Su Jiu, “Little Jiu, do you want to have supper? There’s a street nearby with a lot of delicious food. Shall we go and eat?”
The man beside him could not bear to look at her. He covered his eyes with one hand.
Little Master, didn’t you hear what her father said just now? He asked you to go back and sleep. If you want to woo his daughter, you can’t ignore what her father said.
Sure enough, after hearing Sheng Zhiyan’s words, Su Shengjing felt even more disdain. “It’s already so late. Are you really taking my daughter out? You can’t just go anywhere you want!”
“Uncle, I will take good care of Little Jiu. Even if I lose myself, I will not lose her!” Sheng Zhiyan solemnly promised.
The corners of Su Shengjing’s mouth twitched. When Su Jiu saw that her father was about to get unhappy again, she hurriedly said to Sheng Zhiyan, “Big Brother, I’ve played for the whole day. I’m exhausted, and I want to sleep.”
When she said this, although Sheng Zhiyan felt a little regretful, he still nodded. “Okay. Little Jiu, rest early. We can go out and play tomorrow.”
He purposely lowered his voice as if he were coaxing a child. Toward Su Jiu, this irascible young master had a change of personality. His temper became exceptionally good, and he was rather patient.
Su Jiu smiled at him. “Okay! Big Brother, you have to rest early too. Goodnight!”
She said goodnight to me. Overjoyed, Sheng Zhiyan vigorously nodded. “Goodnight, Little Jiu! If you dream tonight, you must dream about me!”
Ah, if only Little Jiu could say goodnight to me every day. But the only way to make that happen is to marry her in the future, right?
If I marry her, she would be my wife. She would sleep with me every night, just like my parents sleep together. Wouldn’t that mean that I can say goodnight to her every day?
Perfect!
Sheng Zhiyan suddenly became excited. His childish heart began to stir.
Su Shengjing’s mouth twitched. He really wanted to kick this kid.
Asking her to dream of him? How shameless!

Due to Sheng Zhiyan’s involvement, Su Jiu did not spend much time with the little villain. A few days later, Su Shengjing had to go back to work, so Su Jiu had no choice but to follow him back to the capital. The following semester, she did not meet the little villain and only called him from time to time.
She was relieved to know that he was doing well.
After the end-of-term examinations, winter vacation began. Winter in the capital was frosty. The temperature could reach below minus ten degrees Celsius, and it often snowed. The entire city was covered in white, and sparkling icicles hung from the treetops. It was a scenery that could not be seen in the south.
There was less than a month to the New Year. Su Jiu started to consider if she should invite the little villain and Auntie Song to the capital for the new year.
She did not know if they were willing to come back; it was very likely that they were not.
It didn’t matter. As long as she coaxed her father and blinked her large eyes at him, he would definitely be willing to let her visit them.
As she was thinking, her cell phone suddenly rang.
Su Jiu froze and quickly took out her cell phone from her pocket.
Her father had specially bought this phone for her so that she could contact him and her mother.
Most children her age hadn’t been given cell phones yet, so Su Jiu did not have many numbers in her contacts. She only had her parents’, Auntie Song’s, Old Master Su’s, Uncle Sheng’s, and Sheng Zhiyan’s, Han Siye’s, and others’ numbers.
Seeing the caller ID on the screen, Su Jiu suddenly laughed.
