Ms. Liu: â...â
She thought that these children needed to be baptized by the societyâs socialism.

After the chaos in the morning, all the little friends around them started to discuss the program for competing with other classes.
As the largest school in the Empire, Jiyue had many activities for students.
The confused little thing learned that their class was going to compete with the class next door.
As for what kind of competition, she had no idea.
Su Ruirui humphed coldly, âThose people look down on us all the time...â
The boy mumbled, âWhatâs so good about them?â
In a noble school, they were raised to practice all sorts of talents and etiquettes, but not every child was gifted.
The children in the class next to them always mocked and make fun of them and it was nothing strange that they were unhappy.
Ye Sang rested on her desk and blinked her pretty eyes as she watched Shen Yao sitting there alone, not knowing what she was thinking about.
âSister...â She slowly dragged her footsteps over and leaned her baby fat-filled face in, âAre you competing?â
Ye Sang remembers that the female lead in the novel mastered all sorts of talents.
Shen Yao leaned back and frowned at how close she was, âOf course.â
Her mother compared her to others despite the fact that she was already good enough.
But she wasnât good enough in her motherâs eyes.
The little thing swayed her head, âT-Then what about Sangsang?â
Everyone else decided to participate but she didnât know what she wanted to do.
Shen Yao curled her lips up and her brows furrowed at the muddle-headed girl, every single word filled with disdain, âYou can just watch from under the stage.â
The little thing looked silly and adorable and she was a suitable candidate for their classâs mascot.
Ye Sang said âohâ and covered her bag, returning to her seat obediently.
The teacher was fast with marking and gave the test back in the afternoon.
Su Ruirui and Ye Niannian were mumbling something about the test, Shen Yanâan and Shen Yao looked careless.
Only Ye Sang looked at the crosses on the test, puffed her round face, and sighed.
She didnât want her butt to get hit again.
But...
Daddy Huo was overseas and he wonât be able to hit her.
The little thing slowly shoved the test into her small bag and heard the teacher clearing her throat while instructing seriously, âBecause we had a test today, take it home and make sure your parents sign the test today.â
Ye Sangâs strand of hair stood up and blinked, unable to understand why she wanted their parents to sign it.
The little thing went home with the driver dispirited. She pressed her round face against the window and sighed.
For the first time, Ye Sang thought it was so hard being a human.

After arriving at the Mu family, the little thing was still pouting bitterly. Her loose bun trembled slightly and her pink little dress made everyone fall in love with her.
The housekeeper forced his lips to curve up and asked the little girl, âMiss, whatâs wrong?â
Her bitter expression was cute too.
Ye Sang glanced around and covered her bag while replying, âSangsang had a test today...â
The housekeeper frowned slightly but nodded and smiled kindly, âA test, and...?â
Somethingâs wrong?
The little thing stared at her toes, âThe teacher said my parents need to sign it...â
The housekeeper immediately understood what she meant.
Her father was overseas and they didnât know who her mother was, so it was difficult for her to get the task done.
Ye Sang dragged her voice on and swayed her head, âAnd Sangsang needs to fix the wrong answers.â
If she knew why she was wrong, she wouldnât have gotten them wrong.
Why would they make it so hard for a baby like her?
Ye Sang couldnât think through it and gave up. She patted her little bag and ran inside the house with her short legs. Her dark eyes turned into crescents and she asked, âGrandpa, when is Uncle Mu coming back?â
Housekeeper Mu checked the time and replied with uncertainty, âPerhaps around eleven at night?â
Their mister never came back before. He didnât know how their young miss pissed their master off but now heâs coming back at a fixed but late time.
Ye Sang nodded and slowly said âohâ. She poked her watch slightly with her soft and white fingers, puffing her cheeks while running into her room.
*
Back in her room, the little thing threw herself on the bed and turned around to meet with the puppyâs unhappy eyes.
âWoof.â You know that you need to come back after all this time?!
âWoof woof woof.â Your father, I, am starving!
It wagged its tails in protest.
Ye Sang angrily looked away and ignored it. She played with her watch and made a call just like how Huo Yao taught her.
She felt wronged.
Cheap daddy would never call her first.
Thatâs too much to handle!
And Daddy Shen, what happened to visiting her?
The little thing buried her face in her blanket in grievance and the call went through after a while.
âDaddy.â She obediently curled up in the blanket and acted cute. Her pretty eyes were dark and she was sobbing slightly, âSangsang misses you...â
She missed her grandpa, missed her mommy and daddy.
Huo Yaoâs side sounded a bit noisy. The man felt blank for a second as it was his first time hearing the little thing say that she missed him.
He lifted his hands up and stopped those shareholders who were speaking with saliva flying everywhere.
âMiss me?â The man looked down and his voice was hoarse like he hasnât had water for a long time. His cold voice sounded gentle and for once, Huo Yao didnât tease her but said, âDaddy will come back earlier, okay?â
Who knew how horrifying his gentle expressions were to those shareholders.
Special Assistant Zhao sighed in exhaustion.
Since they arrived at Country M, their boss had been fixing those problems with projects and contracts day and night. He didnât know why his boss had to work overtime like that when they could get it done in a month.
When Ye Sang called, he finally understood why.
So it was all for their young missâs sake.
He sighed.
Look how scary a man was after being a father.
Being single is much happier.
*
The little thing swayed her legs and forced her sobs back, telling Daddy Huo what happened at the kindergarten.
Huo Yao didnât look impatient at all until the last part. He quietly and gently leaned against the chair, but Ye Sang didnât speak again for a while.
Until a soft voice came from the other side, âDaddy...â
He then realized that she probably fell asleep from exhaustion.
âLittle idiot.â
