Father Cheng had almost forgotten how long it had been since Jiujiu had called him 'dad'.
Today, when Jiujiu suddenly called him 'dad', Father Cheng was simply overjoyed. Even now, his heart was still filled with joy.
After dinner, Father Cheng saw Jiujiu go upstairs, so he followed her upstairs. After staying in his study for half a day, he could not help but run to Jiujiu's room to look for Jiujiu.
Now that he saw Jiujiu reading and doing her homework as usual, Father Cheng was particularly touched. He raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of Jiujiu's head as he said in a low voice, "How have your studies been? Is there anything you don't understand? "
Father Cheng asked this because Jiujiu's grades were very poor. She was so poor that she only ranked 43rd in the class in the last monthly exam.
However, there were only 50 students in the class.
Jiujiu's grades were simply at the bottom.
Father Cheng even threw a tantrum at Cheng Jiujiu because of this. However, at that time, Cheng Jiujiu was so stubborn that she almost turned into a demon. She did not think that Father Cheng threw a tantrum at her because her exam results were too bad. Instead, she thought that Father Cheng threw a tantrum at her because he did not like her anymore.
It was also because of this that Father Cheng increasingly felt that Jiujiu's temper was strange. He was somewhat unwilling to take the initiative to get close to her.
Although they were still related by blood, he really could not afford to love her anymore.
But now, Jiujiu took the initiative to admit defeat and called him Father Cheng. Moreover, she looked like she was concentrating on her studies. Regardless of Jiujiu's grades now, Jiujiu's attitude made Father Cheng happy.
Because of work, Father Cheng had always been cold and hard to outsiders. However, he was a little soft in front of Jiujiu, which was rare.
Now that Father Cheng had taken the initiative to ask her, Jiujiu naturally replied loudly, "Pretty good. I believe that I can get into the top ten in this mid-term exam."
Hearing Jiujiu's promise, Mr. Cheng was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Even if Jiujiu didn't mean it, Jiujiu's attitude was good, which made Mr. Cheng even happier.
Father Cheng raised his hand and rubbed Jiujiu's little head again. He pursed his lips and pretended to be serious as he said, "If you can get into the top 30 of your class for the middle school entrance exam, I'll give you a reward."
"Really?" Hearing that there was a reward, Jiujiu immediately raised her little head, her big eyes shining with desire.
Jiujiu had inherited all the good points of her parents, so naturally, she wasn't ugly.
In the past, because she was overly skinny and always had a gloomy face and a gloomy aura, she gave people an unapproachable feeling.
Although Jiujiu was still a little too skinny and her face was yellow from malnutrition, the corners of Jiujiu's lips curled up into an innocent smile. The way her eyes sparkled with anticipation made her look exactly like a naive little girl.
When Father Cheng saw Jiujiu's innocent smile again, he was especially touched. His expression became much gentler as he raised his hand and rubbed Jiujiu's little head. After whispering a few words of encouragement to her, he turned around and left.
However, Father Cheng's footsteps were brisk no matter how one looked at it.
Since Luo Su had said during dinner that he would buy Jiujiu clothes tomorrow and Jiujiu had left a good impression on Father Cheng yesterday, early on Saturday morning, Father Cheng took Jiujiu, Luo Su, and Luo Yanqing to a large shopping mall in the city to do some shopping.
The clothes that Luo Su bought for Jiujiu didn't suit Jiujiu's temperament. Jiujiu picked out the best among the short ones and found clothes that matched her temperament as much as possible.
Out of habit, Luo Yanqing walked up to Father Cheng and wanted to hold his hand. However, before she could do so, Jiujiu directly held Father Cheng's hand.
Father Cheng lowered his head and looked up at Father Cheng like a little girl who was waiting to be praised by her father. Jiujiu called Father Cheng obediently. Father Cheng's heart instantly softened and his temperament became gentle.
At this time, Jiujiu tilted her head slightly and gave Luo Yanqing a provocative and complacent smile. Luo Yanqing was so angry that her face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Father Cheng was particularly eager for family affection. Besides, he hadn't been close to Jiujiu for a long time. These days, Jiujiu had behaved so well. Father Cheng naturally allowed Jiujiu to hold his hand.
Luo Yanqing had long been used to holding Father Cheng's hand. She had long regarded herself as Father Cheng's child. Now that Father Cheng's side was occupied by Jiujiu, Luo Yanqing's face instantly showed a disappointed look.
Seeing Luo Yanqing following behind Father Cheng with a disappointed look, Luo Su glared at Jiujiu fiercely. She quickened her pace and walked to Luo Yanqing's side. She took Luo Yanqing's hand and comforted her in a low voice, "Qingqing, follow your mother."
Hearing Luo Su's voice, Luo Yanqing raised her head listlessly. After glancing at Luo Su, she still stared straight at Father Cheng's back.
Luo Yanqing almost couldn't take her eyes off the interaction between Jiujiu and Father Cheng.
Jiujiu was eccentric and temperamental. However, Jiujiu was well-behaved and sensible. In particular, her mouth was as sweet as honey. Moreover, she was very good at coaxing people and making them happy. Therefore, she was very lovable.
Father Cheng originally didn't guard against Jiujiu. Now that he met Jiujiu's performance, he was almost instantly captivated by Jiujiu.
Although it was Luo Su who brought up the matter of buying clothes, Father Cheng was now more enthusiastic than Luo Su.
Whether it was Jiujiu's clothes, shoes, or even accessories such as hats, Father Cheng wanted to give advice to Jiujiu.
When they were almost done shopping, Father Cheng had already bought several sets of clothes for Jiujiu.
Father Cheng was not satisfied, so he directly took Jiujiu to eat.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Father Cheng took Jiujiu to the amusement park to play.
When they went back in the afternoon, Father Cheng and Jiujiu had a lot of fun. Whether it was Luo Yanqing or Luo Su, both of them felt as if they had swallowed a stone in their hearts. It was extraordinarily heavy.
Luo Yanqing had been paying attention to Jiujiu and Father Cheng's affairs, so she didn't buy any clothes.
During the weekend, Jiujiu read and studied at home. When she went to school on Monday, Jiujiu put on the new clothes that Father Cheng bought for her.
When Father Cheng bought clothes for Jiujiu, it was naturally Jiujiu who chose them herself.
Jiujiu had a sharp eye. Naturally, the color and style that she liked were the most suitable for her. Even if Jiujiu was only 30% beautiful, she could improve it to 50% with Cheng, not to mention that Jiujiu was originally very beautiful.
After putting on the new clothes, Jiujiu walked into the classroom as if she had changed her head and face. Many students didn't dare to recognize her.
Although Jiujiu was still Jiujiu, she looked a little different.
Jiujiu gave up the bright clothes and put on the cold clothes. Coupled with her gloomy face, she inexplicably gave off the feeling of a cold beauty.
Many students in the class subconsciously looked at Jiujiu a few more times. They even whispered that after the weekend, Jiujiu's appearance directly improved by several levels. It was really incredible.
