One Year Left to Play-Chapter 112 - 35: Someone Wants to Trick Me into Having a Daughter Again

"..."

Zhang Hao and Aprile Clark were both speechless. Such a forgetful little girl, how could her family dare take her out with such recklessness?

"Aprile, should we call the police?"

"Wouldn’t it be enough to call security?"

"No, those security guards are too ugly. What if they scare this cute little girl?"

Leaving her to the security and leaving? That would be too irresponsible. The security guards at the school gate look fierce. What if they scare the little girl into tears?

"..."

Aprile Clark was speechless at Zhang Hao’s fixation on looks, but fortunately, she was confident in her own appearance.

"But we have an interview to go to, no time..." Compared to Zhang Hao, Aprile Clark was much more composed.

"Why don’t we take her to the interview with us? We can figure out how to find her family afterward."

"Would she be willing? She seems quite wary."

"She looks a bit dim. Maybe if we buy her a lollipop, she’ll come along with us..." Before Zhang Hao could finish his sentence, the little girl on the opposite side exploded: "You’re the dumb one!"

The moment of overflowing maternal love had passed. Aprile Clark replied nonchalantly, "Alright, alright, you’re not dumb, just look a little not so smart. We have things to do, so are you coming with us or staying here?"

Aprile Clark didn’t lack compassion, but with a stranger’s little girl, she thought it was normal to just look after her for a bit and then hand her over to the school security.

As she had something important to do herself, a bit of dismissiveness in her tone was inevitable.

The little girl was irritated! She thought that this lady was already smitten by her cuteness. Unexpectedly, this lady turned out to be the one with just a fleeting interest, while the pesky lamp-post-like guy was worried she’d get scared and wanted to take her with them.

After some thought, this guy and lady should be good people. Follow them first and after they’re done, help find Dad...

"Take me with you," said the little girl as she stood up.

"Who taught you to speak like that? You should be polite, you know." Zhang Hao ruffled the little girl’s hair.

The little girl disdainfully brushed away the hand ruffling her head. Knowing the situation was against her, she gritted her teeth and said, "Please take me with you."

Although she used the word "please," it carried the tone of a command.

Zhang Hao was helpless. It seemed this little girl was a 90s kid. Sure enough, 90s kids were not to be trifled with, though most of his own memories were also from the 90s... But only by leaving school did those 90s kids within the country realize how hard-hit their generation was.

As for the 90s kids in other countries, Zhang Hao didn’t know, but his own country’s 90s kids had it tough, missing the fastest periods of national development, not even having the demographic dividend anymore. They belonged to the unique generation of only children, yet after marriage, a young couple needed to support seven or eight elderly people, and couldn’t even afford to raise children...

It was then that Aprile Clark noticed this little girl had something unusual about her. Besides being pretty, her attire was extraordinary—the T-shirt was Givenchy, no less than several hundred or even a thousand US dollars.

The main campus of USC was quite large. Actually, there was still half an hour until the appointed time, but Aprile Clark was busy rushing to the interview location, precisely because the place was a bit far. In the end, the little girl, sounding quite commanding, insisted that Zhang Hao carry her because she was too tired to walk...

Upon reaching the interview location, Zhang Hao went in first to have a scheduled conversation with the admissions office’s responsible person. There wasn’t any trouble, and he sorted out the early admission procedures smoothly, receiving a full scholarship with waived tuition fees, even higher than the scholarship for playing NCAA if he went to college...

Now, whichever university he chose to attend was completely different. As long as his SAT scores met the requirements, no school would reject him, especially those in the United States. Recruiting him would mean the school gained an NBA player as a student, and if he were to achieve something in the future, he would be a sports star coming from that university. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After Zhang Hao’s interview ended, it was Aprile Clark’s turn.

Encouraging herself, Aprile Clark handed the little girl over to Zhang Hao to look after and entered the admissions office classroom.

Seeing no one around, Zhang Hao couldn’t resist poking the little girl’s face with his fingers, asking, "Little girl, we’ve known each other for so long, but I still don’t know your name?"
