Li Jianyue carried out the tiny item that she had meticulously prepared. It was a wish bottle.

It was filled with origami stars, from top to bottom, all you could see were multi-colored stars. It was like a rainbow, from red, orange, yellow, green, blue to purple and since the color of each layer was distinct and extremely vibrant, it made it look even more spectacular.

Li Jianyue stuffed the wish bottle into Li Mosen’s hands and said, “Here, this is for you.”

A radiant smile appeared on her tiny face as she continued, “It took me a long time to prepare this. I have yet to make a wish but since you’re so unhappy today, you can make a wish first. Hurry up and make a wish.”

Li Mosen looked at her, disbelief evident on his face; he then prodded her on the head as he snorted, “You’re a big girl now and yet you still believe in this?”

“What’s wrong with that?” Li Jianyue challenged confidently and stuck her arms out. “I just want to believe in it. It’s a form of well-wishes after all. There’s a saying that you’ll achieve what you desire if you believe in it. My belief in this will make my wish come true.”

Li Mosen laughed and continued to watch her helplessly.

Li Jianyue was furious at him for making fun of her and reached over to snatch the bottle back. “Return it to me if you don’t want it!” she roared.

Hugging onto the tiny bottle in his arms, Li Mosen turned and dodged her. “It’s unreasonable to ask someone to return something that you’ve gifted them,” he replied.

“You’re so annoying!” Li Jianyue yelled, her tiny face turning red with anger.

Li Mosen chuckled and rubbed her head. “Alright. I like it very much,” he consoled.

“I don’t believe you. You’re lying to me,” she said.

“I mean it,” Li Mosen insisted. Holding the wish bottle close to his chest, he asked, “How long have you been folding these origami stars?”

“Pretty long,” Li Jianyue huffed. “I secretly folded these by myself. I intended to use it to make a wish,” she muttered sulkily.

“What do you want to wish for?” Li Mosen asked as he gently caressed her head. “Let me see if I can help you to realise it.”

“You certainly can’t,” Li Jianyue declared.

“How would you know if you haven’t even told me what your wish is?” Li Mosen countered.

Upon hearing what Li Mosen said, she eventually agreed as she found him rather persuasive.

She then blinked innocently, her huge eyes glistening and looked at him earnestly before saying, “I want to skip a few grades and become a junior high school student right away and eventually make it into the same university as you.”

Li Mosen was stunned by her words, he never expected Li Jianyue to make such a wish.

Li Mosen gazed at her and his heart softened. After pondering for a moment, he concluded, “That’s indeed quite tough to attain.”

Li Jianyue’s face flushed pink with anger and she balled her hands up into fists. “You’re asking to be hit,” she bellowed.

Li Mosen pursed his lips and beamed as he asked, “Which university do you want to study in?”

“Kingstown University!”

“Don’t you want to go somewhere else?” Li Mosen asked.

“No,” Li Jianyue replied confidently. “Why would I want to go elsewhere? Dad and Mom are here and now, you’re back too. I just want to study at Kingstown University.”

“The cutoff point for Kingstown University is 985. Do you think you can make it?” Li Mosen questioned.

Li Jianyue instantly lost all confidence and hesitantly replied, “Well... I guess other schools are fine as well. Kingstown University of Foreign Languages and Kingstown Prefectural Business School are pretty close to home too. I wouldn’t need to live on campus.”

Li Mosen’s grin widened. “Nobody would choose a school based on that. You simply chose it because it’s close to home? These schools are top-ranked schools,” he pointed out.

“I know,” Li Jianyue snapped in frustration. “Well, I’m looking into it, aren’t I? Besides, I’m only a sophomore. How could you be sure that I won’t be able to make it into these schools? My academic grades are great. Besides, aren’t you tutoring me as well?”

“Yes, that’s true, you have a point,” Li Mosen agreed.

When Li Jianyue saw how half-hearted he sounded, she felt so cross and wanted to ignore him. “You and Brother Chu will be tutoring me. With your help, I’ll definitely make the mark,” she declared.

“Brother Chu?” Li Mosen repeated with his eyebrows slightly raised. He then took a step forward and asked, “What are your thoughts about the things that Granny Rong said to you today?”

Li Jianyue blinked and asked, “What are you referring to?”

“What do you think?”

Li Jianyue then came to a sudden realization and exclaimed, “Oh, you mean the part where Granny Rong told me to date Brother Chu?”

Li Mosen frowned in slight displeasure. But just as when he was about to reply, a boy outside the room asked, “Who wants to date me?”
