I Want To Move In Next Door-Chapter 1095 - 1092: Favored with a Smile (4)

Han Yixiao, upon hearing this, immediately curved her eyebrows and eyes into a smile and began nodding enthusiastically.

Instead of dining out, the two returned home, and just like when Han Yixiao used to hide at Zhang Cheng’s place after being beaten up by Chi Rong, he washed his hands and headed to the kitchen to cook dinner.

Han Yixiao nestled at the dining table, spreading out her textbook, sneaking glances at Zhang Cheng while working on her assignments.

Zhang Te, serving dinner, glanced at Han Yixiao’s workbook as he emerged from the kitchen, noticing several mistakes. His brows furrowed, he put down the plate in his hand and, raising his finger to the workbook, he started: "This problem, this one, and this one... you got them all wrong!"

Han Yixiao looked up innocently at Zhang Cheng, clearly not understanding where she had gone wrong.

Zhang Cheng had intended to explain the problems to her along the way, but upon closer inspection, he found that there were very few correct answers throughout her entire workbook. Pressing the bridge of his nose, he couldn’t help but suggest, "Miss, how about this: go wash your hands and eat, and after dinner, we’ll start over from the beginning, okay?"

After hearing this, Han Yixiao immediately closed her workbook and hopped off the dining chair to wash her hands.

After dinner, Zhang Cheng cleaned up the table and truly began to go over the problems with Han Yixiao. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

She understood all the questions; although she appeared to listen attentively, her thoughts had already wandered far away, revolving around Zhang Cheng by her side.

Once he finished explaining, Zhang Cheng rewrote the problems, then placed them in front of Han Yixiao: "Try doing them again on your own."

After a pause, Zhang Cheng spoke again: "I’m going to take a shower and will apply medicine on you after I come out."

Han Yixiao, nibbling on the end of her pen, nodded and then hunched over the table, diligently working on her problems just like a primary school student doing homework.

Zhang Cheng watched her for a while and saw that Han Yixiao had answered several questions, each correctly. He stood up with a sense of achievement and went to take a shower.

After his shower, as Zhang Cheng came out of the dressing room and was about to check how Han Yixiao was doing with her problems, his phone rang. It was work-related and the call dragged on; by the time the matter was resolved, nearly an hour had passed, and even his hair, which he hadn’t dried, had naturally dried on its own.

Putting down his phone and stepping out of the bedroom, he was about to ask Han Yixiao, "Have you finished the problems?" but the words froze at his lips.

Perhaps because she had been waiting too long for him, Han Yixiao had fallen asleep on the table.

Zhang Cheng slowed his pace and walked over. He had been about to wake her, but seeing the dark circles under her eyes, he uncharacteristically dismissed the thought.

Had she stayed up late last night?

Thinking this, Zhang Cheng removed the workbook pressing under her arm, glanced at the completed problems—all correct—and then tidied up the scattered textbooks and workbooks, placing them to the side. Bending over, he picked her up and carried her to the guest bedroom.

After laying Han Yixiao on the bed, Zhang Cheng fetched the bag of medicine that Xie Lin had prepared, returned to her side, and began to carefully change her dressing.

Perhaps the girl was sleeping so soundly, or maybe his touch was gentle enough, but she did not wake up even as he finished bandaging the scalded area with gauze.

Zhang Cheng packed the medicines back into the bag, reached for the remote, and turned off the bedroom’s main light before preparing to leave. But just as he moved, his hand was grasped by hers...
