He loved to eat!
Seeing how aggrieved he was, Jiaojiao was afraid he might really cry, so she didn’t tease him anymore. She pulled on Xiu Xi’s hand and passed a few pieces of chocolate candy to Xiaodong, who immediately beamed with joy.

"..." Jiaojiao, looking at Xiaodong’s face full of anticipation, found it hard to tell him that she and Xiu Xi had actually decided to skip to the fourth grade next semester.
It might be the last time they would skip grades; after reaching the fourth grade, they would steadily continue their studies from there.
But looking at Xiaodong, who was so full of hope for the future, she decided to give him the chance to dream. Otherwise, life would be too bitter.

At night, Shu Jiao was going through the accounts with a ledger when Jianguo came out after taking a shower, hugged her from behind, and inhaled the scent of her soft neck, thinking how every part of his wife was fragrant.
Shu Jiao, ledger in hand and being nudged persistently, pushed him away impatiently, "Don’t cling to me. Sit here."
