The day for school arrived swiftly.
Zhouzhou rolled over, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a gleaming golden schoolbag resting on the bedside table beside her.
The drowsiness vanished instantly, and Zhouzhou sat up in one swift motion, rushing to the edge of the bed, unable to contain her joy as she hugged her schoolbag, her little mouth unable to close from excitement.
The schoolbag, still in Zhouzhou's favorite golden hue, was crafted in the shape of a large ingot, albeit a chubby one, with a widened base for convenient book storage. It was designed to be lightweight, making it effortless to carry.
Zhouzhou was over the moon with happiness, quickly slinging her small schoolbag over her shoulder and darting out.
With pride, she twirled around in front of Qin Lie.
"Daddy, is my schoolbag pretty?"
Qin Lie had placed the schoolbag there himself last night, though he pretended to notice it now and nodded in agreement.
