Good Evening, Mr President!

Chapter 58: Give me a present.

The book was dripping wet as though it had just been taken out of the water. Laughing helplessly at this, he hastily pulled out a few pieces of tissue from the tissue box and helped her to wipe the wet pages dry.

Halfway through, Chi Zuxu found several familiar-looking words in the pages of the book, which instantly attracted his attention and halted his hand movements.

There were many instances of a familiar-looking name written on plenty of the book’s empty spaces — Chi Zuxu.

It could be found in many pages of the book.

Sometimes, there would only be a single word ‘Zu’ or ‘Xu’.

The silliest thing the man found was on the page whereby it narrated the story ‘Qimin Yaoshu’ by Jia Sixie. The lass had actually circled the author’s name and wrote ‘Chi Zuxu’ beside it.

Since he had never heard of this classical story before, he naturally did not know the meaning behind it and only found it amusing. He could imagine how inattentive this child had been during her classes.

As his gaze landed on that tender and rosy-looking sleeping face of hers, his dark orbs could not help softening a bit.

He lightly scooped up her head and made her lean back against the chair instead before taking a piece of tissue and bent down, with bowed head, to carefully wipe the drool at the corner of her mouth away. A chuckle escaped his lips. “You’re still a child indeed…”

After that, he carried her out of the study.

He was especially careful and gentle when tucking her into bed. Still, his movements awakened the girl.

“Uncle…”

Opening her bleary eyes, Chi Yi hooked her arms around her uncle’s neck longingly. “What time is it?”

He pulled her arms down and tucked it under the blanket, instead. “It’s past midnight. Go to sleep now.”

“What about you?”

“I’m heading to bed, too.”

“Oh…”

With a blink of her bleary eyes, she smilingly asked, “Can I get a present from you if I get into the top thirty of my class for this exam?”

“What do you want?”

The man parted the long fringe away from her face.

“It’s a secret.” She shut her eyes in an adorable move before peeling her eyelids apart again. “It’s something you’re able to give me, anyway.”

“… Fine.”

He promised her with a nod of his head.

After smoothing the blanket for her and saying good night, the man left her bedroom and retreated to his study.

There were still several key points of her exam syllabus that he had yet to finish highlighting.

Never did he think he would ever be refreshing his knowledge of the high school exam syllabus. It was quite a weird feeling.

The next day when Chi Yi entered the study to pack up the books she needed for classes that day, she realized, with much shock, when she flipped through the books, that the key points had all been highlighted by the man in just one night.

Did he… sleep at all last night?

She was very skeptical about this.

Still, she felt moved and her heart ached from his tender actions.

The girl then seriously packed all the textbooks she needed into her backpack, including that drool-stained history book.

She thought, I will really be letting Third Uncle down and his hard efforts go to waste if I don’t see any improvement this time!

So, I must put in a lot more effort and work hard!

Ah… Also!

In order to get the present as promised, I must strive hard to get into the top thirty!

The very thought of her desired ‘present’ sent the lass giggling in delight.
