The Boss is Reborn with his Little Fairy

In the corner, there were two not very tall tree trunks. Gu Ting directly let Wen Ke’an sit on his shoulders and easily lifted her up.

Wen Ke’an was too skinny. She hadn’t been eating well these days and had lost a few more pounds.

Before Wen Ke’an could find where the little birds were, she heard Gu Ting slowly speak, “Why have you lost weight again?”

“I haven’t,” Wen Ke’an looked down at him and seriously argued, “I’ve been eating a lot recently and have even gained weight.”

“The way you are, I can tell by just holding you,” Gu Ting responded.

“…………”

“The bird’s nest is on a branch in front of you. Just move the leaves in front of you, and you’ll see it.” Seeing that Wen Ke’an didn’t want to discuss weight issues, Gu Ting took the initiative to change the subject.

Following Gu Ting’s hints, Wen Ke’an shifted the leaves in front of her and really saw a nest of newly hatched baby birds.

“There really are birds!” Wen Ke’an exclaimed in surprise.

“Did you think I was lying?” Gu Ting chuckled.

The mother bird wasn’t there, and the baby birds were quietly resting in the nest.

Wen Ke’an didn’t dare to touch them; she just observed from a distance for a while.

Some of the baby birds were already starting to grow feathers. Wen Ke’an didn’t recognize their species, but their feathers looked very pretty.

After watching quietly for a while, Wen Ke’an smiled, “So cute.”

In her previous life, during the time she was ill, she liked keeping small birds at home. At that time, Gu Ting needed to work during the day, and those little lives kept her company for a long time.

“Grow well,” she wished softly.

After finishing, she quietly let go of the branch she was holding, and it returned to its position, covering the bird’s nest again.

“Let’s go back to the classroom, or we’ll be late,” Wen Ke’an looked down at Gu Ting and said with a smile.

The final competition was fast approaching, and more than half of the class was participating. These days, many were intensely reviewing for finals, creating a particularly good study atmosphere in the class.

In the past, the class would be noisy during breaks, but now everyone stayed quiet, even if they wanted to play, they went outside to avoid disturbing those who were studying.

Wen Ke’an had also been working very hard recently, reviewing late into the night every day. Afraid that she wasn’t getting enough nutrition, Gu Ting stocked her desk with fruits and nuts.

At certain intervals, Gu Ting would remind Wen Ke’an to eat.

When Wen Ke’an focused on solving problems, she sometimes took two bites of fruit and left it on the desk, not wanting to eat anymore.

The fruit wasn’t spoiled, and throwing it away would be wasteful.

Gu Ting would then play the role of the human garbage bin and eat all her leftovers.

Everything seemed normal until the afternoon before the competition. During a self-study session, Gu Ting was called out by the class teacher.

Wang Yilin took Gu Ting to a quiet corner nearby and asked with a helpless expression, “Have you been bullying Wen Ke’an recently?”

Gu Ting was stunned, “Why do you ask that, teacher?”

Wang Yilin’s expression was complex, “It’s just that a classmate told me that you always take Wen Ke’an’s fruits.”

“……….”

“If you have any difficulties, you can talk to me,” Wang Yilin said.

“………”

Gu Ting was silent for a moment, “Okay, I understand, teacher.”

“Don’t always take others’ fruits. We have fruits in our school’s supermarket.”

“Mm.”

Seeing Gu Ting being so obedient, Wang Yilin still felt quite gratified. She patted Gu Ting’s shoulder and said earnestly, “Alright, study well and don’t cause trouble.”

On Friday afternoon, after the last competition, Wen Ke’an finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just after stepping out of the examination room, Wen Ke’an saw Gu Ting waiting for her in the corridor.

“How did you do?” Gu Ting walked to her side and asked softly.

“Should be okay,” Wen Ke’an answered with a smile.

Having finished the exam, Wen Ke’an relaxed. She didn’t really like comparing answers afterward. She had done her best, and what will happen, will happen.

“How about you, how did you do?” Wen Ke’an asked, looking up.

“Don’t know,” Gu Ting shook his head.

“It’s okay, we both did our best!” Wen Ke’an comforted him, “I’ll treat you to something nice after school today!”

Perhaps due to not performing well in the competition, Gu Ting was in a noticeably low mood.

Wen Ke’an spent the entire evening cheering him up, agreeing to almost everything he wanted. Gradually, Gu Ting’s mood improved.

After spending some time outside, by the time Wen Ke’an got back to the shop, it was around 8 PM.

A few days ago, a video by Fu Huan boosted a lot of local customers to come and spend. The shop was crowded again, with queues extending long, even at 8 PM.

The sales were so good that Wen Qiangguo and Liu Qing were struggling to keep up, so they had hired a few more employees.

Now, Liu Qing mainly handled the front sales, and Wen Qiangguo was primarily in the kitchen.

On Saturday, since Wen Ke’an had nothing much to do at home, she decided to help out at the shop.

As she approached the shop entrance, she noticed a lot of lights opposite at Li Yueyue’s marinated food chain store, like they were filming something.

“What’s that about?” Wen Ke’an asked, puzzled.

An elderly man passing by overheard and explained, “It seems a local food show is filming there.”

A food show for the local TV station.

Not paying much attention, Wen Ke’an was in the shop when suddenly there was a commotion outside.

Wen Qiangguo immediately ran out upon hearing the noise.

Wen Ke’an followed and saw her mother arguing with Li Yueyue.

“Why did you put this here in front of our shop?” Liu Qing was furious.

For better filming tomorrow, Li Yueyue had put a large white board blocking their shop entrance.

Li Yueyue sneered, “I put it on the road, not in front of your shop. Are you at the front door of your house? Is the street your property? Why are you so controlling?”

“Being so close to our store’s entrance is unacceptable!” Liu Qing insisted.

Li Yueyue refused to move and said confidently, “If our filming doesn’t turn out well, will you take responsibility?”

“How it turns out has nothing to do with us! What you’re doing is wrong!” Wen Qiangguo was also angry and stood by Liu Qing.

“I think you’re just jealous!” Li Yueyue started to act up, “Our store can get a city food show to film here, but yours can’t. Aren’t you just jealous!?”

Seeing more onlookers gathering, Li Yueyue shouted, “Jealous or not, our marinated food is the most popular!”

…

After a long stalemate, Li Yueyue finally agreed to move the obstructing sign a bit after being persuaded by her store employees.

Back in the store, Li Yueyue turned to the employees, with a stern face, “This show is a big deal, organized by top management with great expense. Be on your best behavior and don’t mess it up, got it!?”

Li Yueyue waited anxiously for a long time. It was almost eleven, and the filming team still hadn’t arrived.

Frustrated, she said, “How can they have no sense of time? It’s been so long, and they’re still not here? Really, these TV people are such a hassle!!”

Shortly after her complaint, the production team finally arrived.

Li Yueyue immediately changed her expression, smiling as she greeted, “Oh, Director Wang, you’re finally here!”

“Mm.” Director Wang glanced at Li Yueyue indifferently, “Is everything ready? If so, let’s start filming.”

“Yes, everything’s ready!”

The television crew’s efficiency was low, taking the entire afternoon without finishing the shoot.

As night fell, they finally wrapped up.

Because of the shoot, Li Yueyue’s store couldn’t sell anything all afternoon.

Though very dissatisfied, Li Yueyue still put on a polite front, “Thank you so much for your hard work today, Director Wang.”

“No problem.” Director Wang’s cold attitude showed his disdain, as he looked at the other staff, “Pack up and let’s go!”

As things were being packed up, a staff member suddenly asked, “Where’s Xiao Qi?”

After a moment, Xiao Qi came in holding a bag of marinated food.

“What are you holding?” someone curiously asked.

Xiao Qi smiled, “The marinated food from the shop across the street is incredibly popular, so I bought some out of curiosity. It’s actually quite tasty.”

“Want to try it, Director Wang?”

…

The show aired quickly. On Saturday night, Wen Ke’an watched the show online. Though expected to be on TV, it was only online.

Due to the blogger’s popularity, it had many viewers.

Perhaps carelessly edited, Wen Ke’an saw their store and many customers lining up outside.

The footage contrasted their bustling shop against the emptiness of Li Yueyue’s store.

Then she saw the online comments:

“Wow, wow, what’s with the long line across the street??!”

“I know! The shop across sells amazing marinated food!!”

“Hilarious! Why does this shop seem less popular than the other?”

“It made me too curious. I must try it when I get a chance! I’ll go to the shop across the street and give it a taste!”

“”

After watching the video, Wen Ke’an was stunned for a moment. She suddenly felt that Li Yueyue would be infuriated if she saw this video.

Wen Ke’an immediately showed the video to Liu Qing.

Liu Qing was watching TV in the living room. At first, she didn’t want to watch the video, but under Wen Ke’an’s strong recommendation, Liu Qing decided to take a look.

After watching the video, Liu Qing couldn’t help but laugh, “This feels so satisfying. She deliberately tried to block our shop with a whiteboard, but didn’t expect that the line at our shop would be so long, right? Haha!”

Wen Qiangguo also came over to watch the video again. The comments on the video kept increasing. Whenever he saw someone praising their marinated food for being delicious, Wen Qiangguo couldn’t stop smiling happily.

The group watched the video in the living room for a while. Then Wen Ke’an had a sudden idea and looked up at Wen Qiangguo, “By the way, Dad.”

“Yes?”

Wen Ke’an voiced her thoughts, “Our business is doing so well. Have you thought about opening a chain store?”

“A chain store?” Wen Qiangguo was taken aback.

“Yes, just like the marinated food shops across from us. If we succeed, we can create our own brand,” Wen Ke’an said.

“Our own brand?” The idea of potentially having his own marinated food brand excited Wen Qiangguo.

“Yes!”

“Great, then I’ll research this for a few days and find a place to open a branch!” Wen Qiangguo said enthusiastically.

On Tuesday afternoon, the results of the final competition were finally announced.

This meant that today, they would finally know which ten students would go to the provincial competition.

Not only were the students excited, but the teachers were also very enthusiastic, all hoping that their own students would make the list.

As soon as the rankings were released, the entire office was in an uproar.

Wang Yilin remained rather calm because she hadn’t expected much from her class.

Many top students participated in the competition, but her class’s results were generally average, so she didn’t think any of her students would be in the top ten.

Just as Wang Yilin was about to go and check the results list, several teachers turned back to look at her in shock, “Teacher Wang! Your class is amazing!!!”

“What’s wrong?” Wang Yilin instinctively felt that it must be something good.

“Two students from your class! First and second place!”

“Huh?” Wang Yilin was left standing there, stunned.

It took her a while to ask, “Wen Ke’an and who else?”

In several competitions, Wen Ke’an had always been the top scorer in the class. Once, Wen Ke’an even ranked sixth!

“Gu Ting!”

“Wait, what??” Wang Yilin was bewildered, “Who did you say???”

“Gu Ting! He came in second!”

“?”

—–

The class leader brought the results from the office and looked towards Gu Ting as soon as they entered the classroom.

It was the long break in the afternoon, and Gu Ting was outside playing basketball.

When Wen Ke’an returned from the restroom, she found the class in an uproar.

As soon as they saw Wen Ke’an, many classmates surrounded her, “An’an! The competition results are out!”

“How did it go?” Wen Ke’an asked.

“You got first place!!!”

Her classmates were more excited than Wen Ke’an herself.

“And do you know what the most surprising thing is?”

Before Wen Ke’an could speak, the classmate continued, “Gu Ting got second place!!!”

“Huh?” Wen Ke’an was taken aback.

“Gu Ting got second place???” Wen Ke’an couldn’t believe it and asked again.

“Yes, yes!”

“”

Wen Ke’an felt that she had been tricked again.

Previously, when Gu Ting was in a bad mood, she did everything to cheer him up. Hugs and kisses—all given upon demand!

But! He! Was! Fooling her!!?

Gu Ting had just finished playing basketball and was about to return to the classroom when he saw a very angry little girl walking towards him.

Gu Ting instinctively took a few steps back but was immediately cornered by Wen Ke’an.

Wen Ke’an looked up at him and asked, “Why did you lie to me?”

Gu Ting was momentarily stunned. “What’s wrong?”

Wen Ke’an replied, “You actually did very well on the test!”

Gu Ting pretended to be surprised. “Really? What rank did I get?”

“Second place!” Wen Ke’an said.

While Gu Ting was pondering how to appease her, he saw the girl in the school uniform beside him take a step forward.

She came up to him, directly grabbed the collar of his uniform, and pulled him downward.

Gu Ting obediently lowered his head, and then he felt a kiss on his cheek.

“You did great, here’s your reward,” Wen Ke’an said with a smile, looking at the baffled Gu Ting.

“Not mad anymore?” Gu Ting asked, looking down at her.

“This time, since you did well, even if you lied to me, I’m happy.” Wen Ke’an replied happily, “We can participate in the competition together next week!”

The warm sunlight bathed the girl as her smile radiated sweetness.

Gu Ting couldn’t resist poking her cheek dimple and asked, “So happy?”

“Super happy!”

In fact, what made Wen Ke’an happy was not just that both of them made it to the finals, but because she felt their fates were different from before.

It’s like participating in such competitions and even getting good rankings—something she never dared to dream of in her past life.

She felt that in this life, both she and Gu Ting were gradually improving.

—–

Just as they returned from the sports field, they encountered Wang Yilin standing at the entrance.

“You two, come with me,” Wang Yilin said, looking at them.

Wen Ke’an originally thought Wang Yilin came to discuss the competition, but the homeroom teacher’s first question left her stunned.

“Are you two in a relationship recently?”

Gu Ting did not speak immediately. He looked at Wen Ke’an, then turned back to Wang Yilin, and asked, “Did someone report us?”

Wang Yilin replied, “That’s not the point right now.”

Gu Ting smiled and then said, “Didn’t you suspect a few days ago that I was bullying her? How come today you’re saying we’re in a relationship?”

Yilin Wang knew that Gu Ting wouldn’t tell the truth, so she turned to Ke’an Wen and gently asked, “Is he your boyfriend now?”

Ke’an Wen stayed silent for a while before replying, “He’s not my boyfriend.”

When Ke’an Wen said that, Yilin Wang didn’t ask further. She believed Ke’an Wen wasn’t the type to lie.

“Well, both of you did very well in the exam. Come by my office tomorrow to fill out a registration form.”

Yilin Wang felt very proud thinking about her students taking the first and second places. She tried to suppress her smile to look more authoritative, “Keep up the good work for the final round!”

After Yilin Wang left, Ke’an Wen lowered her head and started to walk forward, only to be blocked by Gu Ting the next second.

Ke’an Wen looked up and saw Gu Ting staring at her. He slowly asked, “Not your boyfriend?”

She knew he would definitely question her!

She replied earnestly, “No, he’s not.”

Gu Ting was silent for a few seconds.

Before Gu Ting could speak, Ke’an Wen smiled and tugged at his hand.

The golden sunset lit up the corridor.

Ke’an Wen looked up at him and smiled, “Aren’t you my dearest husband?”
