The next day, in the early morning, Luo Shuyan bathed and packed her school bag. It looked like she was planning to go to school.

Luo Tianyuan wore his shirt and put on his necktie. When he saw his daughter, he immediately stopped fondling his clothing and asked, “You want to go to school today?”

Based on his plans, he was going to take the rest of the days in the week off for her from her class teacher. After all, there were only 2 school days left in the week.

She could go back to school next week, so he wasn’t expecting her to want to go to school so soon.

Luo Shuyan also thought that she didn’t seem to make sense at times.

She wasn’t sure how others would react if they were her. Would they have had more wisdom to handle the situation?

She’d always been a good child, and since it’s been established that she can’t tell others about the dream she had, she would obediently obey. What would happen if she were to try to divulge her weird dreams again? Sure, she had been sneezing, and she wondered what more could happen.

In comparison to the dream that she had, at this moment, she was more worried about whether her father found her recent actions weird.

Since she had nothing to do at home, and she was bored at her father’s company, she would rather go to school. Time would pass very fast if she were to go to school with the other kids and play games with them during class.

“Mn, midterms are approaching. This is our first important exam after entering primary school. The teachers care a lot about our performance.”

“Mn.” Luo Tianyuan said, “Grades aren’t our primary concern. We should focus on your health. Even if you don’t do well academically, it doesn’t really matter.”

In an era where ‘taking exams, getting tips, and gaining mark improvements’ were what all students aspired to do, Luo Tianyuan’s statement was surprising. If Luo Shuyan’s class teacher were to hear him say that, the teacher would be shocked.

Yet, Luo Tianyuan had the ability to do so.

In his opinion, as long as he worked hard to earn money, it didn’t matter if his daughter had good grades. He would ensure that his daughter had a good life.

After having those dreams, Luo Shuyan wasn’t as surprised about her father’s wealth.

As for how it felt to be second generation rich?

She didn’t think much about it. She did feel better about her father buying the apartment next to theirs, but that didn’t change her life.

Oh wait, there was one change: She didn’t spend as frugally as before.

Shen Yan hadn’t expected Luo Shuyan to go to school today. He didn’t need his mother to remind him as he took his breakfast and followed Luo Shuyan downstairs.

”Luo Shuyan, my mother wants me to go to school with you for today, and come back with you as well,” Shen Yan said.

He didn’t sound like he was doing it voluntarily, so Luo Shuyan didn’t take him seriously. She nonchalantly said, “It’s alright, you don’t have to. It’s fine if you don’t want to walk with me.”

She knew that boys this age were shy. They weren’t willing to play with girls, so it was no brainer that they would feel even more awkward to go to school together.

She appreciated Aunty Shen’s kind gesture, but she didn’t want Shen Yan to force himself to do something that he wasn’t willing to do.

Since he didn’t want to walk with her, she had no reason to force him, after all, she was a kind child.

Boys will be boys.

And Shen Yan had always been someone who acted cool and collected.

Shen Yan froze. “These two are separate matters. Even if I don’t want to walk with you, I’ve told my mother that I would do so. Anyhow, wait for me after school.”

Fine, after all, she didn’t care who she walked home with after school.

“Sure. Though, you really don’t have to force yourself, if you don’t want to…”

Before she was done, he coldly interrupted her, “No one can force me to do anything. I’m merely someone who sticks to my word. I always fulfill my promises.”

“You’re so cool,” Luo Shuyan said and glanced at him through a side eye. “Alright then, thank you.”

Shen Yan ignored her.

He didn’t feel at ease to let her walk with her deskmate; her deskmate who only knew how to scream when in danger.

Luo Shuyan was timid, and her friends were even more timid. They were doomed.

Since Uncle Luo was kind to him and his mother, he wanted to return the favor. In the future, he’ll go to and back from school with Luo Shuyan. Besides, it didn’t cost him anything extra, and it’ll prevent any mishaps from happening again.

After a few days, Luo Tianyuan’s good friend, Song Qianjin, paid him a visit from Shen Zhen.

Song Qianjin was in charge of the retail fashion side of Smile-yan Fashion. He was a straight-laced man whom Luo Tianyuan trusted the most. They grew up together, and were more than just normal friends. Song Qianjin brought a giant teddy bear for Luo Shuyan, and it was about the size of the little girl.
