So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

Chapter 110 The aloof academic genius is totally in love with him! (20)

Chu Yu hadn't expected him to be so nervous, so she quickly explained:

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you'd like to come over for dinner? Aunt Su cooked lots of delicious dishes~"

Song Zhihuai breathed a soft sigh of relief. "Will this bother your family?"

"No, my parents aren't home, and Aunt Su took a break after cooking, just like the other maids. I'm the only one at home."

Are you home alone?

"Yes what's the matter?"

The little girl's voice didn't sound particularly emotional, but he was still a little worried.

"Wait a moment, half an hour at most, is that alright?"

"Okay~"

Song Zhihuai arrived at the Chu family villa in just over twenty minutes.

When the doorbell rang, Chu Yu was sitting on the sofa, holding potato chips and watching a variety show.

After quickly cleaning up the mess, I put on my slippers and ran to the door to open it.

Song Zhihuai was carrying a bunch of things, and she instinctively reached out to take them, but he dodged her.

Was it not for her?

The boy immediately saw what she was thinking and explained with a smile, "Of course it's for you, but with me around, there's no reason for you to carry anything."

Chu Yu smiled, no longer dwelling on it, and led the people to the restaurant.

Song Zhihuai was stunned when he saw the table full of dishes. He thought the girl was just exaggerating, but it really was a huge table full of food...

Aunt Su probably planned all along that the young girl would invite him to her house for dinner.

Song Zhihuai placed the things he was carrying on the kitchen island, and Chu Yu then realized that he had actually bought cakes from her favorite shop!

Wow! Did you just buy this?

After washing his hands, the boy began to unpack the cake box with his head down. "Well, I was planning to bring it to you later after I bought it, but I got your call while I was in line."

Chu Yu rested her arms on the island platform, leaned forward, and said with a smile, "Oh? It seems that Teacher Song and I are still very much in sync~"

The boy, who was diligently working on the cake, paused, quickly lifted his eyelashes to glance at her, and then continued with his work.

"But why are they sending me a cake today? It's not my birthday!"

Could it be that he's going to say this cake is to celebrate the motherland's birthday?

Song Zhihuai had already arranged all the cakes and pastries he bought on the pastry tower and put them into the refrigerator.

After doing all that, he turned around and explained seriously, "Who said you can only eat cake on your birthday?"

Chu Yu choked for once, "That makes sense!"

The boy raised his hand and gently ruffled her hair, saying, "The little princess can eat her favorite cake whenever she wants."

Little princess...

Why does this person seem like they've suddenly been possessed?

"Okay, let's go eat first, okay?"

Chu Yu hadn't recovered from the shock when the boy gently pulled her wrist and led her to the sink.

The two were more than 20 centimeters apart in height. Song Zhihuai stood behind her and could easily reach her. He turned on the tap, tested the water temperature, and then took her small hand and placed it under the warm water to rinse it.

She remained dazed until she was brought back to the dining table.

As Song Zhihuai picked up his chopsticks and served her food from her plate, he said gently, "If my behavior makes you uncomfortable or you don't like it, you can tell me, and I won't do it again."

He was trying to get closer to her, cautiously and tentatively.

I was afraid of disturbing her, afraid that she would find it offensive or dislike it.

"No, it's fine..."

Chu Yu replied softly, then took her plate and began to eat earnestly with her head down.

The only sounds in the large room were the occasional clinking of chopsticks and plates.

Song Zhihuai looked down at the girl's fluffy hair, his smile filled with unintentional doting affection.

The little girl is shy.

He didn't continue the previous topic, but picked up the serving chopsticks and started putting her favorite dishes on her plate.

Has no one been home these past few days?

He wanted to ask her why her parents weren't home, but he was afraid of touching on something that might upset her, so he changed the subject and brought it up tactfully.

"Yes, my parents are still on a business trip abroad and can't come back. Aunt Su and the other maids have been given five days off."

Originally, they only had a maximum of three days off, but Chu Yu felt that there was nothing to take care of while staying at home, so she simply let everyone rest for two more days.

Everyone has had a tough time.

Song Zhihuai didn't care about any of that. What he cared about was the girl's feelings. When she talked about her parents not coming back, her expression and tone were completely normal, just like on the phone earlier.

It seems she's not just pretending to be strong; she's genuinely gotten used to it.

For some reason, after confirming this, he didn't feel any lighter; instead, a subtle, persistent pain welled up inside him.

"So how have you been eating these past few days?"

Chu Yu was about to suggest that she could order takeout when she suddenly remembered something and changed her mind, saying with a smile, "If I don't have anything to eat, would Teacher Song consider coming over to feed me?"

The boy continued picking up food with his chopsticks, recalling the refrigerator full of food he had seen while cleaning the kitchen earlier, and replied without changing his expression, "Okay, I'll cook for you."

Chu Yu: "?"

She just agreed like that, all innocent and sweet?

"Uh, I was just kidding. Uncle Wang is on holiday too. My home is so far from your workplace, so don't bother. Aunt Su stuffed the fridge full of delicious food for me!"

I originally just wanted to joke around with him, but I didn't expect him to agree so readily.

Song Zhihuai looked at her with a serious expression and said in a low and gentle tone, "I'm worried about you being home alone. It's okay, I can ride my bike back and forth quickly, it won't take up much time. It's settled then."

For the first three days of the holiday, his boss scheduled him for the evening shift, from 4 p.m. to midnight.

During the day, he has plenty of time to take care of the little girl's daily needs.

In just a few minutes, Song Zhihuai had already quickly arranged the next schedule in his mind.

She didn't feel there was anything wrong with staying at the Chu family home to take care of her.

After dinner, Chu Yu was led to the sofa to rest by Song Zhihuai, while he went back to the kitchen to clean up the dishes.

After he finished tidying everything up, he coaxed the little girl back to her bedroom for a nap.

"Sleep well for an hour, and I'll wake you up when it's time, then I'll cut you a little cake, okay?"

"Okay."

-

For five whole days, under Song Zhihuai's care, Chu Yu successfully transformed into a giant baby.

Song Zhihuai took on almost all the work of the previous four or five servants by herself. Every day, apart from eating and sleeping, she had nothing to do but entertain herself and study.

On the last day before get out of class ended, Chu Yu leaned on her desk and turned to look at the boy next to her who was helping her with her homework.

"Song Zhihuai—"

"what happened?"

"You've spoiled me so much these past few days. What am I going to do when you're not around anymore?"

Aunt Su and the others took good care of her, but it was nothing compared to Song Zhihuai's boundless pampering and indulgence.

"I'm available whenever you need me."

Chu Yu was taken aback and looked up at him. The boy's dark eyes were full of seriousness and a restrained, inexplicable emotion.

Her eyes crinkled into a smile, "Really?"

"Yes, really, I'm at Your Highness's beck and call."
