Before I knew it, it was time for kindergarten to let out.

Having endured the torment of nine years of compulsory education in her previous life and fought fiercely in the college entrance examination, Shen Zhi still found kindergarten content, even in aristocratic education, to be a piece of cake.

It felt so relaxing, like being on vacation. It seemed like we were just eating, drinking, and having fun all the time, and before we knew it, school was over.

When school was over, Shen Zhi and her classmates lined up in a small row, holding hands as they walked towards the school gate.

Because it's a prestigious private school, there are always all sorts of luxury cars parked at the school gate, as well as itasha (decorated cars) made specifically for their children.

Even Mr. Chen, the homeroom teacher who prided himself on having seen many big scenes, still widened his eyes when he saw the stretch Lincoln.

In particular, five handsome men of different types and a distinguished old gentleman were standing in front of this gleaming Lincoln.

"Welcome home, Miss!" The butler, with his sharp eyes, saw Shen Zhi swipe her card to leave the school gate and immediately instructed the bodyguards next to her to clap and cheer.

Shen Zhi stopped halfway through her journey, her small lips tightly pursed.

How embarrassing.

How could I be so embarrassing?

Shen Zhi kept her eyes straight ahead, pretending not to see her five cousins ​​and grandfather, and asked in a self-deceiving manner:

"Wow, who are they here to pick up?"

Li Xiong & the five brothers of the Five Elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth): ...

"Miss, you're joking. Let me help you with your schoolbag." The butler chuckled twice and immediately ran over.

The other bodyguards weren't idle either.

Some people sprayed confetti into the sky, others carried schoolbags, some massaged shoulders, and others inquired about the situation with Teacher Chen. The scene was exaggeratedly frightening.

Teacher Chen was also dumbfounded.

She had indeed been told by the principal that Shen Zhi's family situation was special and that she needed to be treated with more care, but she never expected that she would be the eldest daughter of the Li family!

A real gem has emerged from her class!

Fortunately, this little princess doesn't have a spoiled attitude. On the contrary, she's very easy to talk to, well-behaved, and sensible.

On her very first day at school, Shen Zhi became the most popular girl in her class.

After getting into the car, Shen Zhi hesitated for a while before taking out six small candies from her pocket, wrapped in shiny candy wrappers.

It was a reward from the teacher for her excellent performance in class today.

Seeing his sister's actions, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth instantly perked up.

Li Xiong looked at her expectantly and asked, "Zhizhi, is this candy you're giving us?"

Shen Zhi nodded, then shook her head.

"I was originally going to give it to you, but... you guys are being too dramatic, I don't like it."

"So, I'm taking Tangtang back! I'll give it back to you after you stop doing this tomorrow!"

Li Xiong & the five brothers of the Five Elements: !!!

"No way!" Li Xiong's mind raced, and he immediately shifted the blame to the housekeeper. "It's all the housekeeper's fault for coming up with such a terrible idea! We just wanted to pick up Zhizhi, then go home as a family and have a simple dinner!"

The five older brothers nodded in unison.

The butler could only give an awkward smile when he met Shen Zhi's probing gaze.

"Yes, yes, it's me..."

"Alright then, I'll share the candy with you all. But we can't be so extravagant tomorrow, what if the other kids don't want to play with me?"

Children's minds are simple, but their parents are cunning.

She doesn't want to be treated specially all the time.

Li Xiong secretly winked at the butler. At the same time, the inflatable celebration gate that had been prepared outside the Li family's castle was being hastily removed.

Shen Zhi handed out candies to her brothers one by one. Each of them treated the candies with great reverence, and no one was willing to open them and eat them directly.

This is the first piece of candy Zhizhi gave them, and they will treasure it and use the most advanced technology to preserve it forever when they get back!

That night, the night was gentle.

Li Miao drank a shot of espresso, then walked to Shen Zhi's room with a normal expression, knocked lightly on the door, and waited until the girl's soft and obedient voice called out "Come in" before turning the doorknob.

"Zhizhi, Third Brother can't sleep."

Li Miao was wearing pajamas and looked quite troubled.

Shen Zhi had already taken a shower and was lying on the bed, feeling soft and comfortable, holding the little white rabbit doll she had brought back from China in her arms.

That's right.

She had promised Sanshui that she would sing him a lullaby during the day.

Shen Zhi's bed was very large; even if Li Miao slept on it, he wouldn't feel cramped.

Shen Zhi thought for a moment, then shifted her little bottom to the side and patted the spot beside her:

"Brother, why don't you sleep with Zhizhi?"

Shen Miao's scheme succeeded, and he went to Shen Zhi's bed with a satisfied heart.

The little girl covered him with the blanket, afraid he would secretly keep his eyes open and not sleep, and covered his eyes with her soft little hands:

"Brother, close your eyes, Zhizhi is going to sing."

"it is good."

Shen Miao's voice was deep and magnetic, and even his breathing became lighter.

I felt so happy inside. So this is what it feels like to be coaxed to sleep by Zhizhi.

"The dark sky hangs low, accompanied by bright stars, fireflies fly, fireflies fly, who are you thinking of..."

Shen Zhi changed to a different song; her voice was soft and sweet, with a magical, soothing quality.

Shen Miao originally thought she wouldn't feel sleepy, but perhaps because she had just drunk coffee and the caffeine hadn't taken effect yet, her thoughts gradually drifted away as Shen Zhi sang.

It felt like being in a tranquil forest, surrounded by the noisy yet peaceful chirping of cicadas.

Outside in the corridor, Li Sen had just finished his work.

He is deaf, but his brain is fully developed, making him well-suited for research in the laboratory.

I happened to pass by Shen Zhi's room and noticed that her door was not closed, with a crack through which a warm yellow light shone.

He approached without making a sound to disturb her, instinctively wanting to check if his little sister Zhizhi was asleep.

A child this age probably kicks off the covers while sleeping, so as the older brother, I should also take care of my younger sister.

But when you look up, you can see the little girl's shadow projected on the wall under the lamplight.

The mouth opens and closes slowly and clearly.

"The stars in the sky weep, the roses on the ground wither, the cold wind blows, the cold wind blows, but as long as you're with me..."

Li Sen followed Shen Zhi's lip movements, silently repeating each word.

As he read it aloud, he realized that it sounded like a nursery rhyme.

When I was little, my grandmother sang for my other brothers.

When Grandma finished singing, everyone applauded and praised her for singing well.

He couldn't hear, so he could only clap and smile along with everyone else a beat behind.

For a moment, Li Sen felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

Who is Zhizhi singing to?

Li Sen was initially just curious.

But as soon as he stepped into Shen Zhi's room, the once silent world was suddenly filled with intermittent sounds.

It started with just a few simple words.

Then it turned into a complete, soft nursery rhyme.

It was so gentle and soft, like an evening breeze carrying it to his ear, that it quietly entered his peaceful world.

"The insects fly~ The insects fly~ Who are you thinking of~"

After Shen Zhi finished singing the last line, Li Miao's breathing became even.

The little girl smiled, she really is a little genius at putting people to sleep!

Just as she was about to lie down, she looked up and saw a figure standing at the door, which startled her so much that she gasped softly.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the person was Li Sen.

"Second brother? Why are you crying?"

"Zhizhi...can you sing one more song, just one more song for your second brother?"

Shen Zhi's mind was blank, and she didn't immediately realize that her second brother couldn't hear her.

But seeing how sad her second brother looked, she obediently sang the whole song again.

After he finished singing, Li Sen smiled happily, his eyes shining as he looked at Shen Zhi.

That look in his eyes was like gazing up at the bright moon in the sky, filled with beautiful longing.

"Zhizhi, you sing so beautifully!"

This time, he heard it clearly.

As I got closer to Zhizhi, even the tinnitus I had at the beginning disappeared, leaving only Shen Zhizhi's clean and healing singing voice.

Shen Zhi chuckled after being praised.

But the next moment, she realized what was happening.

"Second brother, you can hear me?!"

Shen Zhi asked in surprise, her voice a little loud, waking up Li Miao who had just fallen asleep.

"Zhizhi? What's wrong?"

Shen Zhi pulled Li Miao to sit up, eager to share the good news with those around her: "Third Brother! Second Brother can hear us!"

"He just heard me sing and even complimented me on my singing!"

Now, Li Miao was wide awake.

Her eyes were fixed on Li Sen at the foot of the bed, oblivious to the strange expression on his face: "Second Brother?"

Li Sen's initial joy was extinguished by half the moment Li Miao woke up and spoke.

He can hear now.

But... it seems he can only hear Zhizhi's voice.
