In a classically styled manor in Country M, two people, one older and one younger, sit in a study, the atmosphere tense.

Suddenly, the younger one spoke up, "Uncle."

The white light shone on his face, revealing skin so white it seemed translucent. His lips, pale and dull, were tightly pressed together, and his thin, pointed face lacked any plumpness, indicating that he was in poor health.

Her long, dark hair was tied into a ponytail, and her almond-shaped eyes held a maturity and calmness beyond her years. Her long eyelashes drooped down, concealing the emotions in her eyes.

He stood ramrod straight, his hands clasped on his knees, exuding a cool and aloof air.

Across from him sat an adult man with slicked-back hair, a handsome face, and a furrowed brow, silently watching the stubborn child before him. Through her figure, he seemed to see his former older sister.

Recalling that scene, his sister's hysterical state, tears wetting her exquisite makeup, yet unable to conceal her superior features, she went mad in front of him, and the crisp sound of porcelain shattering echoed in his ears.

" Lin Ting! Lin Ting! He lied to me! He lied to me! What should I do? Lin Ting, tell me, what should I do!"

Suddenly she picked up another doll, "I still have Suisui, my Suisui."

What he did was slap her across the face, his tone full of exasperation. " Lin Wanjun! What are you doing? You've ruined yourself for a man. I'll take Suisui away. You'd better watch yourself."

He had just taken a step when he heard her voice behind him. Turning around, he saw a handprint on her face, her eyes vacant. She said, "His name is Suisui, the 'Sui' in 'better to be shattered jade than whole tile.'"

After speaking, he lowered his head, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.

He stood quietly for a while, then lifted his foot, behind him he could hear her incessant muttering.

As soon as he stepped outside, four-year-old Suisui stood at the door. When she saw him come out, she looked up with her bright eyes, which were full of confusion and bewilderment.

After a moment, Lin Ting reacted and responded with a "Hmm."

"I want to go back," Suisui said calmly.

"You shouldn't go back," the man refused without hesitation.

"She's still there." Suisui looked up, her gaze unwavering.

" Suisui."

It's Suisui, not Suisui; Suisui have their eyes downcast.

Suddenly, I heard my mother's gentle voice.

On the lawn, a woman and her child were playing happily, their laughter echoing across the entire lawn.

" Suisui, Mom's Suisui, Mom hopes Suisui will be safe Suisui sound every year."

The scene shifts to him standing in the doorway, peering through the crack at the messy living room and his mother's words, "Better to be a broken piece of jade than a whole piece of tile."

Later, his uncle took him away from that house and went to River Moon Bay.

The next day, the two heard the news.

Lin Wanjun went mad on the spot and castrated Jiang Yushi. She sat beside him, sipping red wine and watching him wail on the ground. The servants in the villa had long been dismissed. It wasn't until Jiang Yushi fainted from the pain that Lin Wanjun took pity on him and ordered someone to take him to the hospital.

Jiang Yushi had no other illegitimate children besides Suisui, so Suisui was Jiang Yushi only offspring.

Upon waking up, Jiang Yushi into a rage and locked her in a mental hospital; she was probably not very insane at that time.

The Lin Family originally wanted to intervene, but she stopped them because the Jiang Family was Suisui, Jiang Yushi was just working for the Suisui.

"Are you sure?" Lin Ting sighed, and finally gave in.

"Um."

I will go back with you.

Suisui opened her mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Ting the next second.

"Obedient."

After a moment of silence, Suisui nodded, got up and left the study. She paused at the door, turned back, and said, "Goodnight, Uncle."

"Good night."

Suisui returned to her room and silently looked at the white photo next to her desk. It was a picture of her and her mother, Lin Wanjun.

The mother in the photo is smiling happily, her eyes full of joy, unlike now. I remember the last time I saw her at the mental hospital, her thin figure sitting quietly by the window, the sunlight shining on her, only the occasional sound of her breathing proving that she was still alive.

"Mom," she murmured Suisui.

His eyes flickered slightly as he recalled the child he had met at River Moon Bay, named Chaochao. He was only five years old at the time, and Chaochao was two years younger than him. The first time they met, Chaochao called him "sister."

After he corrected her, she kept pestering him. He liked quiet, but Chaochao was too noisy. He didn't like it, but he didn't dislike it either.

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered that my uncle had mentioned that Chaochao's father said Chaochao wanted to invite me to his home, but my uncle insisted on taking him abroad at the time, so I refused.

I picked up my phone from the table, found Chaochao's number, thought for a moment, and sent him a message.

" Chaochao, I'll be going back in a couple of days."

"Hey, Chaochao, tell Daddy if Suisui is looking for you." Gu Wancheng looked at Chaochao, who was drawing seriously, and suddenly felt like gossiping.

Chaochao looked up in confusion, but the word " Suisui " jolted her awake. She quickly said, "It's Suisui. He said he'll be back in a couple of days."

After saying that, Chaochao started laughing happily again.

It really is Suisui.

Gu Wancheng thought to herself, "It seems that Suisui doesn't really dislike Chaochao. She even sends messages when she comes back."

So it turns out they were mutually attracted.

"The cookies are ready," Guan Xuanhua called out.

Gu Wancheng was about to stand up when Bo Yizhou pressed her down and whispered, "I'll go."

After saying that, Bo Yizhou strode over, put on oven mitts, and took their plate of cookies out of the oven.

In an instant, the entire classroom was filled with the milky aroma of cookies, making the little ones' mouths water.

"You can't take it now." As soon as it was placed on the table, Chaochao reached out to take it, but Gu Wancheng stopped her.

"Wait a moment, it's still very hot."

Chaochao withdrew her hand, staring longingly at the plate of sweet cookies in front of her.

The cookies cooled down quickly. Gu Wancheng picked one up and handed it to Chaochao. Chaochao's eyes lit up, and she quickly took it, opened her mouth wide, and stuffed it into her mouth.

"It's delicious." Chaochao nodded.

Gu Wancheng handed another piece to Bo Yizhou, her eyes smiling, "The second piece is for our great contributor."

Bo Yizhou raised an eyebrow, took it, and the next second put it directly to Gu Wancheng's lips. While Gu Wancheng was stunned, he said, "Take a bite."

Gu Wancheng was taken aback and hesitated to take a bite, but Bo Yizhou urged her on.

After a while, Gu Wancheng opened her mouth and took a bite, while Bo Yizhou stuffed the rest into his mouth.

The cookies were delicious, sweet, and Gu Wancheng suddenly blushed.

"Is it good?" Bo Yizhou asked.

"These are the best cookies I've ever eaten." Gu Wancheng's face cooled down, and she said seriously.

"Then have another piece." With that, Bo Yizhou picked up another piece and held it to his mouth, watching him take a bite before eating it.

The Guan Xuanhua behind him looked on in disbelief; Bo Yizhou and his wife actually interacted in this way.

After the parent-teacher meeting, the school provided individual bags with cute patterns for the remaining cookies. After packing the cookies,

Teacher Yu informed us that there was no class today, so we went home together.

It's just noon now, perfect time for lunch.
