Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1395 - 1384: The Young Master of the Prestigious Family

Zhao Yao silently scrubbed the shoes, her heart full of grievance and confusion at this moment. She didn’t understand why Mom had never liked her since she was little. Was it because Mom suffered too much when giving birth to her? Or was it because she was a girl?

From as far back as she could remember, her life had been filled with endless housework and never‑ending scolding. She even had to do her homework in secret, and Mom didn’t like it when her grades were too good.

But she still didn’t dare relax, because the teachers said that studying was the best way to get ahead in life. Sometimes she thought, if she made something of herself in the future, maybe Mom wouldn’t have to work so hard to make money, and then she might treat her a little better? Or maybe once she had the ability, she could get away from this family?

Since she had almost no time to study at home, she studied like mad at school. Only when she saw her grades did she feel a faint hope of continuing to live.

No matter how little Dad and Mom cared, she would never allow her grades to slip. It was precisely because her grades were good that she could feel kindness from others, and that kept her from filling with hatred toward the world.

Zhao Yao took on all the housework Qian Lan Ya assigned without complaint, hypnotizing herself over and over: as long as she held on a little longer, once she was an adult and in college, everything would be better.

She didn’t know that the greatest noble in her life had already appeared, and soon she would no longer need to endure.

The next day, Zhao Yao again hurriedly finished the housework before rushing out the door. She had no pocket money for the bus, so she could only run to school every time. But maybe because of this, her physical condition was actually pretty good; she rarely got sick, and even if she did, she got better quickly even when Qian Lan Ya refused to give money for treatment.

As usual, she ran along the road, dodging pedestrians and bicycles. Normally she could make it to school just in time before the bell rang, but today a small accident occurred.

To save time, she always took the shortest route. There was a section where she had to cut through a path in a park. At this hour, there were usually very few people there, but today a man in a wheelchair appeared on this small path, and his wheelchair had even tipped over. He looked like he was in a lot of pain.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Yao went over to help the man. She thought, if she was late, she was late; missing a bit of morning reading shouldn’t affect her grades.

"Sir, are you okay? Let me help you." The wheelchair was heavy, and Ye Qiu was heavy too. It was obvious that Zhao Yao was struggling a lot.

Hiding in the shadows, Aunt Mei and Uncle Li were terribly anxious, but Ye Qiu had instructed them beforehand that no matter what happened, they were not allowed to appear unless he called for them. Otherwise, they would have rushed over already.

The young master had only just mustered the courage to go out. What if they, acting on their own, hurt his pride? The two of them didn’t dare move without permission. Seeing Zhao Yao appear, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when they saw how much she was struggling, they grew anxious again.

"Thank you, kid." Ye Qiu showed a warm smile. "I’ve really troubled you. I must have delayed you from getting to school, right?"

"It’s fine." Zhao Yao used all her strength and finally set the wheelchair upright, then let out a long, heavy breath. She then realized that this handsome man had been staring at her the whole time, though his gaze wasn’t annoying at all.

She touched her cheek and asked, a little embarrassed, "Did something dirty get on my face?"

"No." Ye Qiu kept smiling. "I just feel like we’re quite fated to meet. Don’t you think we look a bit alike?"

Do we?

Looking at the man in front of her, Zhao Yao wondered in her heart. She had never thought of herself as pretty: her hair was dry and yellow, her skin rough, her lips thin and not rosy, even her eyes were single‑lidded. She didn’t look like anyone else in her family. The only decent features were her face shape and nose. The teacher said she’d definitely look good with makeup in the future, but she herself felt it leaned a bit masculine.

"Maybe it’s because we both have high noses?" Zhao Yao joked. "How could I be as good‑looking as you, sir?"

"No, you really are very good‑looking, kid. Please don’t belittle yourself." Ye Qiu said this in a very sincere tone.

Meeting his earnest gaze, Zhao Yao felt her mood brighten for the whole day. Even being late no longer felt so upsetting.

"Thank you." She showed a heartfelt smile.

"Today it should be me thanking you." Ye Qiu shook his head. "Here, this is for you, as my way of saying thanks."

He slipped off a beaded bracelet from his wrist and was about to put it on Zhao Yao’s hand as he spoke.

Zhao Yao hurriedly pulled her hand back and refused, saying quickly, "No, I can’t take it. This was just a small favor. How can I accept something so valuable?"

She wasn’t stupid. At a glance she could tell the man in front of her wasn’t an ordinary person, and this bracelet definitely wasn’t cheap. How could she accept it?

She glanced around, then pressed her lips together and asked, "Sir, did you come here with your family? If not, I can push you out of the park. I’m going to be late for school."

"Mm, they should be here any minute. Since you won’t accept my gift, can you at least tell me your name?"

"My name is Zhao Yao."

"I’ll remember it. My name is Ye Qiu. I hope we’ll meet again if fate allows."

"Goodbye." Zhao Yao waved, then quickly ran off.

Watching Zhao Yao leave, Ye Qiu called Aunt Mei and Uncle Li out. "Take me to No. 2 High School."

"Huh? But young master, what are you going to No. 2 High for?" Aunt Mei asked in confusion.

"The girl who just helped me is from No. 2 High. She didn’t want to accept my thanks, so I can only go to her school and explain things for her. Otherwise, if she gets scolded by her teachers because of me, that wouldn’t be right."

At these words, Aunt Mei smiled. "That’s how it should be. Let’s go then."

"Get in touch with a milk tea and pastry shop, and order some things to be delivered to the teachers and her classmates, as a way of saying thank you for her willingness to help others."

"Alright, alright!" Seeing him so patiently arranging all this, how could Aunt Mei disagree? The young master’s willingness to interact more with the world only made her happier!

From then on, she too sincerely thanked that student just now. If they had run into someone cold‑hearted today, the young master might have become disappointed in the world again.

The Ye Family’s efficiency needed no praise. Just after Zhao Yao reached school and was made to stand outside as punishment for being late, the discipline director personally came to tell her to return to class. Less than ten minutes later, large amounts of milk tea and pastries were delivered to the classroom. The homeroom teacher, smiling gently, had her stand up to receive praise.

"I misunderstood Zhao Yao today. She was late because she did a good deed. These milk teas and pastries were sent by the person she helped, as thanks for Zhao Yao’s help today. The discipline director also said our class won’t be docked conduct points today; instead, we’ll be awarded an extra point. Let’s give Zhao Yao a round of applause for encouragement and thanks!"

As soon as the homeroom teacher finished, the class erupted in cheers, their eyes full of gratitude and joy as they looked at Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao was stunned, yet also felt an immense warmth and emotion. This was the first time she’d ever been so welcomed by her classmates, all because of that man named Ye Qiu. He was really so kind! Just for such a small thing she’d done, he thanked her like this and even came in person to explain for her.
