Adored by Him: My Blissful Days as the Girl Next Door

Qian Yonggui has his father handling things on that end, so Shi Yang is fully focused on the Naughty Castle installation and selling kindergarten supplies.

Shi Yang is busy with work, and Zhao Meimei is busy copying and catching up on her winter break homework.

When Zhao Meimei, carrying her backpack and two packs of milk candies specially prepared by Shi Yang’s mother, knocked on Xu Xu’s door, she was immediately greeted with a warm welcome from Xu Xu, who was thrilled to tears.

When Xu Xu pulled Zhao Meimei into his embrace, she suddenly realized that Xu Xu had grown so tall without her noticing. She looked up at the nose tip touching her forehead in surprise and exclaimed, "Xu Xu, have you grown taller again?"

Xu Xu tightened his arms around her as if holding a long-lost treasure, hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly let go, slightly lowering his head to look at Zhao Meimei.

Zhao Meimei got slimmer; her previously chubby cheeks had slimmed into a pointed chin, her face lost its excess flesh, making her eyes and brows stand out, and she blossomed into the unique delicate beauty of a teenage girl.

Xu Xu picked up slippers for Zhao Meimei to change into and led her back to his bedroom.

A heavy book was spread open on Xu Xu’s desk. Zhao Meimei casually tossed her backpack and milk candies onto Xu Xu’s bed, went over to take a glance, and found that it was an original English novel, densely packed with words that left Zhao Meimei mind-boggled.

Xu Xu pulled her by the arm to sit side by side on the bed, asking with concern, "Where have you been? I’ve looked for you several times, but your family was never home, and the grocery store was closed. Did something happen?"

Zhao Meimei told him about her grandmother falling ill in detail.

Xu Xu was shocked upon hearing this; his face changed color: "What? Does this mean your family really has to move back to your hometown?"

Zhao Meimei’s hometown is in the south, far away. If they really moved away, it would be hard to see each other again in the future.
