Knock, knock!

There was a soft knock at the door, and her mother entered the room.

“Hua Hua, why aren’t you sleeping yet? It’s almost midnight.”

Yun Hua paused and stared at the notebook’s filled pages. She stood up and stretched as she turned to hug her mother, clinging to her like a koala.

“Mom, why aren’t you sleeping yet? I’ll sleep soon.”

“Your dad is working overtime. I’m waiting for him to get back before I sleep. Hurry up and go to bed. You still have to wake up early tomorrow,” said Jiang Huanqing.

Yun Hua frowned.

Working overtime? How can he be working overtime now!

It’s only September now. It’s not the holidays. Work at the security firm should be quite manageable. There should be no need for overtime.

He said it’s overtime, but who knows where he really is!

Yun Hua instantly knew that her father had to be with Xiao Qiuci and Xiao Ruyue!

Her heart ached for her mother.

“Why is dad always working overtime,” Yun Hua grumbled. “Mom, you’ve gotta dress up more. We’re not in the countryside anymore. People in the city pay a lot of attention to their appearances. It’s not about dressing neatly; it’s about looking good and putting on makeup… Mom, you would look years younger if you dressed up! Dad is always outside, dealing with young and beautiful women… Aren’t you scared that he’ll fall for someone else, mom?”

“What nonsense are you spouting!” Jiang Huanqing glared at Yun Hua. “Your dad isn’t that kind of person. I trust him. Okay, hurry to bed now, and stop thinking about nonsense like that!”

Yun Hua gloomily watched her mother walk away. Mom’s so kind, and she trusts dad so much. She does not deserve to be treated like that!

Yun Congjun is to blame for everything. All cheating men are scum!

Not to mention how this man treated me for his illegitimate daughter, Xiao Ruyue!

After her mom left, Yun Hua reorganized the novel’s outline and characters in her notebook before putting it in her drawer and went to bed.

She had to wake up early in the morning for a run. She had to get her body ready for the school’s sports day!

Yun Hua got up at five in the morning.

She ran to school after drinking some water.

During summer, the sun was already rising at five in the morning. Many senior citizens were already exercising. Though it was a little early, it was not deserted.

To protect herself, Yun Hua put a short metal rod in her bag. Online shopping was not as developed as it was back then, or else she could have gotten pepper spray!

Yun Hua ran all the way to school, and as it shows, people did not usually run into bad guys unless someone was out to get you.

When Yun Hua arrived at school, she ran a few laps around the track.

She did not run fast; she was just running to recover her muscle memory.

When she washed up and returned to the classroom, the classroom was chaotic.

The class monitor, sports monitor, and the learning monitor—Li Sixian, He Yuxiang, and Xiao Ruyue—were holding signup sheets for the sports day.

It was easier to get people to sign up for the guys’ events, but it was much tougher on the girls’ side.

The 100-meter sprint and long jump events were easier, but practically none of the girls were interested in the longer track events!
