Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

At 8:00 AM on June 28th, the Yanzi Martial Arts Academy opened on time!

Zhou Yanqian put on his unique senior brother martial arts uniform, put his hands behind his back, and even his obedient hair was styled with hair gel by his father, revealing his fair and full forehead.

He kept a straight face and looked very serious, but his round face and chubby cheeks still made him look adorable.

He paced back and forth in the classroom, occasionally glancing at himself in the mirror to make sure he still looked perfect before continuing his walk.

But I was feeling frustrated. Why hadn't class started yet?

The store opens at 8:00, but the first class doesn't start until 8:30. He arrived at 7:30 and had been waiting for a long time!

Zhou Linxu sat on a sofa bench nearby, rubbing his forehead in exasperation: "Baby, stop spinning around like that, you're making Daddy dizzy."

Zhou Yanqian walked up to him again with her hands behind her back, looking disgusted: "How can you be so useless! You'd faint if I walked around the classroom twice."

Zhou Linxu said helplessly, "Yes, yes, yes, it's Dad's fault for being useless, but aren't you tired of walking around? Will you still have the energy for class later?"

Zhou Yanqian thought for a moment, then swaggered over to Zhou Linxu's side.

Zhou Linxu picked him up: "Come here, let Daddy feel if you're sweaty."

Zhou Yanqian took a deep breath: "No."

But I was still touched on the back.

Sigh, these two people are getting more and more casual with him.

Zhou Linxu touched his smooth skin, but his gaze was elsewhere. There were only a few students and parents chatting here, and no one paid attention to the father and son.

Zhou Yanqian leaned against his elderly father. None of the children he knew had come. Jinxi was outside greeting the parents.

It's absolutely amazing...

"Awesome!"

Before he could even utter the last word, he heard a familiar voice calling his name.

Zhou Yanqian looked over and, sure enough, it was Gu Mingzheng.

Gu Mingzheng also put on martial arts clothes and looked quite professional.

He had a smile on his face, and was holding Li Tangyun and Gu Xiang's hands, looking rather silly.

Ever since guessing that he might also be reborn, Zhou Yanqian has found him increasingly strange.

When did Gu Mingzheng take acting classes? He can't even recognize a child in the play.

However, since the adults were still around, Zhou Yanqian didn't want others to notice anything amiss, so he nodded calmly and said, "Zhengzheng."

Zhou Linxu put him off his lap and stood up as well.

Gu Xiang said, "Mr. Zhou, you're here so early?"

"I didn't have anything planned for the weekend, so we came over together," Zhou Linxu said. "Good morning, Mr. Gu."

The two men started exchanging pleasantries again.

Zhou Yanqian walked up to Li Tangyun and said, "Good morning, Aunt Tangyun."

Although Gu Mingzheng has a strange arrogance, Aunt Tang Yun and Uncle Gu are still very nice people.

Zhou Yanqian remembered all the proper etiquette.

Li Tangyun bent down slightly and patted his head: "Good morning, Zan Zan. You look really good and energetic in this outfit today."

Zhou Yanqian said modestly, "Thank you, Auntie. Aunt Tang Yun, you look beautiful today too!"

Zhengzheng scratched his head, "Zanzan, what about me? I look great too, why don't you compliment me?"

Zhou Yanqian glanced at him; it wasn't surprising that he couldn't tell the difference.

Gu Mingzheng's acting skills are truly amazing!

If you asked him to say something like that, he would have to remain silent.

Zhengzheng tilted her head and asked curiously, "Zanzan, why are you looking at me?"

Zhou Yanqian took a deep breath: "...You're good-looking."

Zhengzheng raised both of her little eyebrows: "Thank you, Zanzan! You look especially beautiful today!"

Li Tangyun said, "You two cute little kids, go and play."

Zhengzheng was naturally happy to oblige; he was now extremely curious about every corner of the place!

He then took Zan Zan's hand and said firmly, "Zan Zan, introduce yourself to me!"

"Okay," Zhou Yanqian readily agreed.

Even if it's just the two of them alone, he can think of a way to test this "Best Actor".

Zhou Yanqian was very familiar with every part of the martial arts hall. He led Gu Mingzheng around, introducing everything, and then suddenly asked, "By the way, how's Yunran doing lately?"

Zhengzheng looked confused: "What Yunran? Zanzan, is she your new friend?"

Zhou Yanqian kept his eyes on Gu Mingzheng's face. He was bound to be moved when he suddenly heard the name of the person he liked.

A fleeting micro-expression doesn't lie.

Gu Mingzheng showed no micro-expression at all, and looked completely bewildered when he heard Shen Yunran's name, as if he really didn't know Shen Yunran.

Zhou Yanqian unconsciously picked at his fingers again. Could it be that he was really overthinking things?

Zhengzheng didn't hear Zanzan's reply, so he waved his little hand in front of Zanzan's eyes: "Zanzan, why aren't you talking to me?"

Zhou Yanqian came to his senses: "It's nothing, Yunran just... got a stain. The martial arts uniform needs to be washed carefully because it's white, so don't let it get stained."

Zhengzheng looked down at her martial arts uniform: "Don't worry, my housekeeper washed it very clean, I guarantee there won't be any other colors."

He smiled and said, "By the way, Zan Zan, my mom gave me more money in my Little Genius lottery account. I'll treat you to milk tea after class!"

As soon as Zhengzheng got off the bus, she saw the milk tea shop across the street. It looked delicious!

Zhou Yanqian waved his hand: "I can't drink recently."

Zhengzheng asked in confusion, "Don't you like to drink it?"

"No, I've been sick lately and can't drink," Zhou Yanqian said, sounding a little frustrated.

If Jinxi and Zhou Linxu find out that he secretly drank milk tea, they won't be able to keep their snacks either.

Zhengzheng said "Oh," and then said, "Okay, I'll treat you to a drink when you can drink more."

"We'll talk about it later," Zhou Yanqian said. "I'll tell you when I can drink more."

Looking at Gu Mingzheng's silly expression, he added, "It's on me."

Although he didn't have much money on his watch, it wasn't enough to use Gu Mingzheng's money.

With age comes greater responsibility!

Zhou Yanqian grabbed Zhengzheng's chubby little hand: "Let's go, class is about to start, I'll take you downstairs."

Zhengzheng made two "oh" sounds: "Okay then! Zanzan, I'll go first, I'm the older brother!"

Zhou Yanqian was speechless. Why did everyone have to be called an older brother or sister when all these little brats were actually the same age as him?

Judging from Zhengzheng's silly expression, he's probably just overthinking the whole "rebirth" thing.

He pulled Zhengzheng along, taking a step ahead, unaware that a string of indistinct code flashed quickly in Zhengzheng's eyes.
