Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

At this moment, Su Fengnan had just finished eating and was fed a full meal by Zhou Chenyu. She was leaning back on the sofa, feeling drowsy.

Zhou Chenyu originally wanted to talk to her about meeting her grandmother, but the little girl was so sleepy that her eyelids were drooping.

He had no choice but to give up, turning what was about to come out into a concerned message: "Nanbao, go to your room and get some sleep. I'll wake you up when it's time."

He gently patted her shoulder, trying to help her up. Su Fengnan looked up and almost bumped into his chin.

"Um... I'm going home to sleep," she mumbled sleepily, getting up to walk out.

How could Zhou Chenyu let her go back? He reached out to stop her and led her towards the bedroom: "Don't go back, just sleep here. I'll take you to school in a bit."

Su Fengnan was no match for his strength and was taken to the bedroom.

"This is my room. Take a nap, and I'll wake you when it's time."

Before Su Fengnan could react, Zhou Chenyu pressed her down onto the bed, took off her shoes, and covered her with a blanket in one swift motion.

"Sleep well, so you'll have the energy for class this afternoon. I'll be in the study and wake you up when it's time."

After saying that, he kissed her forehead, then turned and left the room without hesitation.

Su Fengnan was completely dazed. By the time she came to her senses, she was already lying on Zhou Chenyu's bed. A faint, cool fragrance lingered around her nose, exactly the same as his scent, making her feel at ease.

She propped her head up and looked around. The room was predominantly gray and white, spacious, bright, clean, and gave off a tranquil and comfortable feeling. Every corner was full of design sense, with smooth and simple lines. Whether it was the bedside lamp or the wall art, everything exuded unparalleled quality.

It's clear that the house hasn't been renovated for very long.

She lay down and closed her eyes, still pondering: What exactly does Zhou Chenyu do? Should she seek his help in her career plans? As she thought about it, she drifted off to sleep.

In the study, the music player was playing Su Fengnan's a cappella rendition of "By the Lake Baikal," her pure voice seemingly transporting the listener to the tranquil shores of the lake.

Zhou Chenyu's gaze lingered on the photos on the table—moments he had secretly captured at the chrysanthemum exhibition. In the photos, Su Fengnan was either smiling gently or deep in thought; each photo exuded an unintentional beauty and vividness.

He gently stroked the photo with his fingertips, and the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up.

His little girl was truly a rough gem, full of endless potential. He felt incredibly fortunate to have met her during the most beautiful years of her life.

He even found it somewhat unbelievable that he could be so captivated by such an ordinary girl. It was as if he had discovered the most precious treasure in the world, something he longed for but could not obtain, yet he was filled with joy.

Is this destiny? If so, he prayed sincerely that this bond would flow like a gentle stream, never running dry.

Just as I was immersed in these wonderful thoughts, my phone alarm suddenly went off, breaking the tranquility of the study.

Zhou Chenyu got up to call her, but there was a knock at the door. He went to open it, and Su Fengnan was standing there, looking at him with a smile.

"Brother Zhou, I should go to school now."

Zhou Chenyu walked out of the study: "Okay, I'll see you off."

"No need, it'll be quick walking there."

"Let's go." Zhou Chenyu took her hand and walked out.

Su Fengnan quickly grabbed his arm: "Wait a minute, there's something I almost forgot to tell you."

Zhou Chenyu stopped and turned to look at her: "What is it?"

Su Fengnan smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling: "My monthly exam results are out."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chenyu looked at her with a gentle expression and doting gaze, waiting for her to speak.

Seeing that he didn't ask any questions and was just staring at her like that, Su Fengnan gave up and said nervously, "665."

"What?"

"Oh well, never mind if I didn't hear you!" Su Fengnan pouted and turned to walk towards the door.

"Okay, I heard you." Zhou Chenyu grabbed her and put his hands on her shoulders to make her face him. "Nan'er, I was worried that you would get tired from working too hard. But I'm genuinely happy for you. Your good grades are all thanks to your own hard work."

After saying that, he pulled her into his arms.

Su Fengnan tilted her head up in his arms: "It's mainly because you helped me with math, so I want to reward you."

Zhou Chenyu's eyes lit up with surprise, and she felt a surge of joy: "Really? A reward for me?"

"Okay, as a reward, I'll cook something delicious just for you, okay?"

Zhou Chenyu tenderly kissed her forehead: "Okay, I'll eat whatever Nan'er makes, just don't overwork yourself."

"Then let's do it this weekend. I'll make it at home this weekend."

"Okay, sure. But... Grandma would like to see you this weekend too."

"Huh? So soon?" Su Fengnan's face tightened; this meant she was about to meet the parents.

"Don't be nervous, Grandma is easy to get along with. There's no rush, there are still several days left. You should go to school now." Zhou Chenyu let go of her.

"Okay, sure." Su Fengnan nodded obediently, and the two walked out the door together.

……

Ning Xiaojun hadn't really figured out how to talk to Su Fengnan at noon. They were just chatting about going out, and before they got to the main topic, Zhou Chenyu interrupted them.

Now, on her way to school, she has sorted out her thoughts.

Su Fengnan got out of the car and saw Ning Xiaojun on the roadside near the school gate.

"Junjun, wait for me!"

Ning Xiaojun turned around and saw her, a grin spreading across her face: "Hurry up!"

Su Fengnan turned around and waved to the car: "Brother Zhou, I'm leaving, bye-bye!"

After saying that, they ran over, and the two of them walked into the school arm in arm.

Zhou Chenyu wanted to say a few words of advice but didn't have time. He smiled helplessly and drove away.

Zhang Li, who had deliberately hidden in the convenience store near the school gate, witnessed this scene clearly.

This time, she saw it clearly—Su Fengnan and that man were definitely connected. She wanted to send Su Fengnan to hell, to make her despised by everyone.

"Hey, are you going to buy it or not? If not, please move over."

Zhang Li was standing in front of the shelf, blocking others from taking things. Only after being yelled at did her gloomy expression soften.

"Sorry, I didn't notice. You can take it." She quickly stepped aside.

The girl who had taken her things was from Class 1. Seeing that she didn't look well, she kindly offered, "You don't look well, do you need any help?"

"It's nothing, just a bit of a stomachache. You know, girls have those days every month."

"Oh... okay." The female classmate was a little embarrassed. "Then you should be more careful."

After saying that, he paid and left.

Zhang Li casually picked up a few snacks from the shelf, paid for them, and slowly walked into the school.

These little snacks are the best way to win people over. She often does this, and as long as someone eats her food, they won't disrespect her.
