Chapter 1095: Dream Strategist
"My name is Zhao Ming," the boy piped up with a dazzling grin that made his cheeks puff like steamed buns. "Don’t be fooled by how skinny I look—I love eating. All kinds of delicious food. That’s because my mom is a chef, and thanks to her, I’ve been exposed to the magic of gastronomy from a very young age. One day, I’m going to become a world-famous foodie!"
The teacher beamed as the classroom filled with light applause, the kind reserved for charming children who dream big and speak even bigger. "Thank you to our three new students for sharing," she said, clapping along. "You were all wonderful. Now, let’s hear from Su Li and Gao Ming!"
Su Li froze for a second, momentarily stunned. He had planned to say he wanted to become a police officer—something noble, straightforward, and already well-received. But someone had already beaten him to it. Repeating the same dream would make him seem terribly unoriginal.
Gathering his courage, he straightened his spine, walked up to the front, and caught the encouraging eyes of Miss Wang, the teacher, who smiled warmly at him. That spark of encouragement gave him inspiration.
With a sudden burst of confidence, he declared, "My name is Su Li. When I grow up, I want to create a brand new career called... Dream Strategist! Just like Miss Wang, I want to guide and help kids turn their dreams into reality and light up the world with their aspirations!"
The classroom erupted into giggles and laughter—not the mocking kind, but the delighted kind, as if they’d just discovered a classmate with a wildly creative mind. Several students immediately decided they had to befriend the new boy after class.
Outside the classroom, Gu Zi, who had been holding her breath, finally relaxed. Thank goodness, she thought. At least he didn’t say he wanted to grow up and butcher pigs.
Miss Wang chuckled, her fondness for Su Li instantly deepening. "And what about you, Gao Ming?" she asked, glancing at the boy beside him.
