The curtains in the classroom fluttered as the wind blew, and Zhou Miao gazed outside in boredom.

This class was an art lesson. Cheng Heng was drawing, and he was still drawing that bear.

However, Little Bear’s clothes were torn and tattered, and he looked aggrieved.

Zhou Miao looked at Cheng Heng’s drawing and kept thinking that this bear looked very familiar.

Its eyes were spaced wide apart, and it had round ears and an unhappy drooping mouth, very much like the one Cheng Heng hugged to sleep.

The scene in front of Zhou Miao shook and became a little blurry. Zhou Miao stroked Little Cheng Heng’s face. “See you next time, Little Heng.”

Cheng Heng’s hand didn’t stop drawing. When he finished the last stroke and looked to the side, there was only the curtain being stirred up by the wind.

“I don’t see… Sister Angel…”

On the completed drawing, there was a Little Bear with wings.

When Zhou Miao woke up, Cheng Heng had already returned from his walk. The sun outside was very pleasant today, with the rays streaming through the curtains and scattering on the bed.

Cheng Heng sat on the bed and looked at her with a long face.

Zhou Miao pinched his face without realizing what she was doing.

Cheng Heng was already a twenty-year-old man. He had already grown up, and his face no longer had the baby fat of Little Cheng Heng.

Cheng Heng’s face was dyed a faint red because of Zhou Miao’s actions.

“Feeling shy?” Zhou Miao was probably not very clear-headed after waking up, as she reached out and pinched Cheng Heng’s face again.

The expression above Cheng Heng’s head suddenly turned into a smiley face.

She tried to pinch his face again, and the number of smiley faces increased to 5.

Good heavens! So he liked physical contact?

The last time she hugged him, it was the same. This time, it was the same when she pinched his face…

“Morning.” Zhou Miao rubbed and flattened Cheng Heng’s face a few more times, but the number of smiley faces no longer increased.

Zhou Miao caressed his hair and got out of bed. The voice of the hamster suddenly rang in her mind.

[Master, you need 30 smiley faces for the next mission. You can start saving up now.]

30? Profiteer!

Zhou Miao was punching the hamster wildly in her heart, then she suddenly thought of something else.

[Can this smiley face be exchanged for materializing a physical body in the mission?]

Zhou Miao recalled that when she pushed over the vase, her hand had indeed touched the vase.

[Yes, the exchange rate is 1 smiley face for 1 minute.]

[Then why wasn’t I discovered just now?] Zhou Miao asked.

[I was afraid that you would be discovered just now, so I interrupted the materialization. So now, there are still 20 seconds left. You don’t have to use up the time you exchanged for in one go. You can interrupt and stack it up as you wish.] The hamster explained.

[However, if you get injured or die there, your wounds will also be brought back to the real world.]

[Die?]

Zhou Miao was a little doubtful. Were there such dangerous missions?

[Yes, the missions further down will be more dangerous. It may even be life-threatening.]

Zhou Miao sighed deeply. So that was how things were? It seemed that she had to learn some martial arts to protect herself.

[If I bring something over, will it also materialize?]

[Yes.]

Zhou Miao thought that maybe she should think of a way to get some self-defense weapons to bring over in case of an emergency.

Zhou Miao thought about this as she went downstairs, and she bumped into Mother Cheng downstairs.

“Good Morning, Mother.”

Mother Cheng looked at her and smiled.

“I just heard from Little Ying that Little Heng drank alcohol at the banquet yesterday. Fortunately, you were there. Otherwise, I don’t know what kind of trouble would have happened.”

“It’s my duty.” Zhou Miao nodded and smiled.

Mother Cheng took out a small box. Inside the box was a pair of pearl ear studs. The color was shiny and smooth, sparkling with a dazzling luster.

“This was given to me by a sponsor a few days ago. I noticed that you don’t usually wear jewelry, so I am giving it to you. Take it as a token of my gratitude for taking care of Little Heng.”

“Mother, these are all things I should do.” Zhou Miao did not want to turn the task of taking care of Cheng Heng into something that could be used to exchange for material benefits.

Although Zhou Miao treated Cheng Heng as a mission at the beginning, after these few missions, her feelings towards Cheng Heng had changed somewhat.

Little Cheng Heng, who had sealed himself in a small world, and Cheng Heng, who held his own world in a daze, both occupied very different places in her heart.

“It’s fine. You can keep it. Our Cheng family’s daughter-in-law also deserves this good jewelry.” Mother Cheng placed the box in Zhou Miao’s hands.

“Good Morning, Mother. Good Morning, Little Sister.”

Yu Ying happened to go downstairs at this time and saw this scene. Her expression changed slightly, but she didn’t say anything.

“Little Ying, did you deal with the waiter who spilled wine on Little Heng?”

“It’s been settled. Don’t worry, Mother.” Yu Ying omitted the details of how she settled the matter.

“Little Sister, this ear stud looks like it is of good quality, but the jade coin that my mother gave you last time is also very nice. Why aren’t you wearing the jade coin?”
