Chapter 318: Grow Up

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chuchu was already in junior high school.

The curriculum in middle school was obviously more difficult and boring than that in primary school. It was difficult not to doze off in class. She didn’t know why she was so sleepy. She just felt that sometimes, she couldn’t help but doze off.

The teacher often reminded this little sleepyhead. He knew that her grades had always been good when she was in primary school. Why did she lose all her motivation after attending junior high school?

Qu Zhi had also come to school many times because of this matter, but it was useless. It didn’t seem like Chuchu was slacking off, but that she really didn’t rest well.

Chuchu was also very distressed because she had no way to control this matter.

She really wanted to learn. She wanted to listen but she couldn’t.

Later on, she checked again and found that she had insomnia.

She was very excited when she slept at night and couldn’t fall asleep. During the day, she was super sleepy and had to endure it until she became a giant panda.

Chuchu was at the age where she had a young and pretty face, but there were already dark circles around her eyes. When she walked, she looked like a zombie, her expression stiff and listless.

The doctor prescribed her some medicine and told her to go home and lie down for a few days. It would be best if she could recuperate before going to class.

Chuchu’s eyes lit up again. She raised her head and looked at her mother, “Can I really not go to school?” Was she really sleeping at home?

Qu Zhi’s heart ached when she saw the dark circles under her eyes and touched her face.

She had been focusing on Sisi for the past few days and hadn’t paid attention to Chuchu’s condition. She seemed to have been very quiet recently. Qu Zhi thought she was too stressed from her studies and only wanted to do her homework.

Qu Zhi felt a little guilty when she saw that the child was relieved. She would definitely spend more time with her child when she was done with her family matters.

They returned home in the afternoon. Chuchu grabbed some osmanthus cakes steamed by Auntie Hui and placed her school bag outside her bedroom door.

“I’m free!” Qu Zhi heard the sound of her being slammed onto the bed, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

When she went to see her again during dinner, Chuchu had already fallen asleep.

Her sleeping posture was still the same as when she was young, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws. She didn’t even cover herself with a blanket, and she slept as comfortably as she could.

But now, the child’s hands and feet had grown up. Her face was smooth and fair, her lips were red and her teeth were white. She looked a little like a young woman.

Qu Zhi was a little touched, and all kinds of emotions surged in her heart.

She was actually a little unfamiliar with the little girl in front of her. At this time in her previous life, Chuchu had already gone to boarding school. The day she sent Chuchu to boarding school was the last time she saw Chuchu. At that time, her face was still young and her eyes were filled with curiosity toward the unknown.

Since then, the child had grown a hard shell and did not seem to need her anymore. When she came back and spoke to her face to face, she had already graduated from university.

At that time, she was already an adult.

Qu Zhi had missed too much of the process.

In this life, she had finally made up for it a little.

She originally wanted to spend a few days with her child to relax, but something suddenly happened to Qu Jun, so she had no choice but to go back.

Without a doubt, Huang Qing would definitely not do anything. Qu Can definitely not do the dirty and tiring work. The only one in the family who could be ordered around was that pitiful little girl.

Qu Zhi thought about it for a long time and decided to set off the next morning.

She was afraid that Chuchu would still be asleep when she set off in the morning, so she wrote a note to Chuchu seriously.

“Chuchu, Mommy has to go back to Su City to deal with some things. You and your sister have to be good at home.” Although she knew that her words were a little too plain, she didn’t know how to explain these things between adults to Chuchu.

She stuffed the note into Chuchu’s door, just like how Chuchu passed notes to her when she was young.

Just as she was about to leave, there was a rustling sound at Chuchu’s door.

A piece of paper was gently pushed out.

It was crooked like a little bug.

Qu Zhi found it funny.

She squatted down and unfolded the note. On it was written delicate and pretty words. “It’s okay, Mom. I’ll take good care of my sister. I’ve grown up. P.s.. The grown-up Chu Chu!”
