The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Time during the gaokao always seems to fly by. As the final exam neared its end, Yiyi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She glanced at her test paper one last time and began to pack up her stationery.

"Ring ring ring..."

The bell rang, and once the proctor collected all the test papers, the students swarmed out of the exam hall. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Yiyi followed the crowd out and immediately saw Fei Erya waiting there, "Erya, turns out you’ve already come out."

"I just came out not too long ago. Yiyi, how do you feel? Did you do well?"

Seeing Fei Erya’s nervous look, Yiyi couldn’t help but say, "The exams are over. No matter how much we think, it won’t help. Let’s wait until we come back to school to check the answers. In the meantime, we should relax for a few days; otherwise, it’s not good to keep stressing."

"Yeah, you’re right."

Fei Erya had been quite concerned about her grades, but seeing Yiyi so carefree, she realized that whatever the results, it’s already decided. So, they might as well relax. "Yiyi, I’ll go back and tell my dad today that I’d like to stay at your place during the summer holiday."

"Sure, after we finish filling out our preference forms, we can go somewhere together."

"Yeah, yeah."

Thinking about going out with Yiyi made Fei Erya happy. Being at home every day was a bit awkward, even though her mom and sister’s attitude towards her had changed. She couldn’t quite pinpoint why, but she felt more relaxed around Yiyi.

Hearing Fei Erya’s plan, Yiyi nodded and said, "Right, when you go home, tell your dad."

After chatting a bit more, they waved goodbye and went their separate ways.

When Yiyi got home, Ding Yuejun was already waiting there. However, she didn’t ask much. She just brought out a bowl of mung bean soup, "Yiyi, you must be thirsty after the journey. Have a bowl of mung bean soup first. I’ll cook later."

"Mom, it’s just the two of us. So, why not just make some seafood noodles? I feel like eating that."

"Sure, then we’ll have noodles for lunch."

Ding Yuejun, seeing that her daughter had mentioned what she wanted to eat, headed to the kitchen to prepare. Thankfully, she had bought plenty of ingredients today, so there was more than enough for seafood noodles. Based on Yiyi’s preferences, she added clams, red prawns, crab, and eel paste into Yiyi’s noodles. Hers included almost the same ingredients. Finally, she added a handful of greens and sprinkled some spring onions. The seafood noodles were ready.

"Yiyi, dig in while it’s hot."

Smelling the delicious seafood noodles, Yiyi picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing her daughter start eating, Ding Yuejun also began to eat slowly.

The mother and daughter had a simple meal, cleaned up, and then rested on the sofa. Ding Yuejun started asking her daughter about her summer plans, "Yiyi, what are your plans for the summer? Maybe you should rest at home first. You’ve been studying so hard, you deserve a break."

"Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. I want to rest at home for a few days, then maybe go to Jidong Island with Erya. I heard the scenery there is beautiful."

Seeing her daughter already had plans, Ding Yuejun quickly said, "Alright, then when the time comes, I’ll go with you."

"Mom, just focus on your things. Erya and I aren’t kids anymore; we don’t need you to come with us."

Hearing this, Ding Yuejun didn’t insist and decided to discuss it with her daughter later, "Alright, but make sure you rest well these next few days."

The next day, Ding Yuejun got up early to prepare breakfast. Seeing that her daughter was still asleep, she didn’t wake her. She had a simple breakfast and then left for the clothing store.

When Yiyi woke up, it was already past nine.

As she sat up, she was still a bit groggy. Realizing how late it was, she quickly went to freshen up, ate the breakfast her mom prepared, and headed out to the post office.

Before the gaokao, Gu Tingyu had specifically called to wish her success and mentioned that there would be a package arriving in a few days, instructing her to pick it up from the post office. Judging by the timing, it should be today.

"This is your package." The staff handed a large package to Yiyi and asked her to sign.

After signing for it, Yiyi carried the package home. Upon opening it, she found a huge plush bear inside.

Seeing such a big brown plush bear, Yiyi couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. So, Gu Tingyu sent her this bear all the way to her. She didn’t even know what to say. Then she noticed an envelope at the bottom. Opening it, she found a letter from Gu Tingyu.

’Yiyi: I heard you girls like these fluffy things. Do you like this bear? It took me several days to pick it. I think you’ll like it. Next time, if I see something nice, I’ll buy it for you. Also, wishing you get into your dream university. I’ll wait for you in Shangjing.’

After reading the letter, Yiyi couldn’t help but chuckle. It seemed Gu Tingyu specifically asked around about girls’ preferences. But she wasn’t interested in plush bears. She would have preferred some books instead. She wondered whom he asked for such a suggestion.

After holding the bear for a while, Yiyi felt a bit warm. It wasn’t the best weather to cuddle fluffy things. After placing the bear on a chair, she heard a ’thud...’ as if something heavy dropped. "Huh... what’s that?"

Picking up the entire bear, Yiyi curiously examined it. She reached inside where she felt something hard, and after fumbling for a bit, she found a hidden opening. Reaching in, she pulled out an exquisite wooden box from inside the bear.

"So, the real gift is here?"

Curious, Yiyi opened the box and found a translucent Jade Bracelet inside, with a small card below it.

’Yiyi, this is my real gift to you. Were you surprised? Hope you discover this bracelet soon. Once you find it, wear it, and I hope it brings you good luck, helping you get into your dream university.’

Reading what Gu Tingyu wrote, Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

She never realized Gu Tingyu could be so... mischievous. What if she never noticed?

But seeing how thoughtful Gu Tingyu was, her heart felt sweet. She put on the Jade Bracelet, finding it a perfect fit.

Admiring it for a while, Yiyi grew increasingly fond of it. Finally, she happily hugged the plush bear and returned to her room.

After tidying up, Yiyi set off for the clothing store.

When Ding Yuejun saw her daughter arrive, she quickly said, "Yiyi, why didn’t you sleep a little longer?"

"Mom, it’s almost noon."

But Ding Yuejun thought it was fine for her daughter to sleep late. However, she keenly noticed the bracelet on Yiyi’s hand and asked, "Yiyi, when did you buy the bracelet?"
