Chapter 1: The Angel's Kiss

  "Su Xiaoqing has arrived…… Deaf Su Xiaoqing has arrived……" "Deaf Su Xiaoqing…… Hey! Yun Zhenhai, why aren't you running away yet? You'd better be careful or your ears won't hear anything!" A mischievous kid shouted at Yun Zhenhai. Seeing all the other kids teasing me and making fun of my left ear, I felt sad and ran out of the classroom to the playground, sitting on a seesaw and crying quietly... Yun Zhenhai chased after me, looking at me with concern and speaking softly, "Su Xiaoqing, don't cry! They're not here anymore!" I looked around and indeed, those annoying kids were nowhere to be seen. Wiping away my tears, I asked Yun Zhenhai, "Why didn't they run away when they saw me like the others? Am I that ugly? Is my left ear really that scary?" "No, you look just like an angel!" "Yun Zhenhai, what's an angel?" I curiously asked. "I told you, kind people are angels! Those who bully others are devils! So those kids who bullied you are devils!" My eyes widened in curiosity as I asked again, "Really?" Yun Zhenhai nodded his small head firmly and said, "Yes, really!" "Why didn't you bully me like the others?" "Because you're an angel, and I don't want to be a devil! So I'll protect you!" I got down from the seesaw and walked up to him. "Thank you, Yun Zhenhai!" "No need to thank me! You're an angel, so of course, I'll protect you!" Yun Zhenhai confidently said with a smile... When I got home that evening, my mom saw me and asked, "Why do the kids at school all dislike you? And they even call you 'Deaf Su Xiaoqing'! Is your left ear really that scary?" She gently stroked my hair and hugged me tightly. "Xiaoqing, you're a child kissed by an angel! Nobody will dislike you!" I looked up at her with innocent eyes. "Really?" "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?" "That's great!" I happily jumped up. "Today, a friend told me that I'm an angel and said those who bully me are devils!"

  "Look! Deaf Su Xiaoqing is here!" A child about the third grade of elementary school shouted to the children nearby "Run quickly! Su Xiaoqing has come".

  I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a pang of sadness and hugged you tightly again. Choked with sobs, I said "Yes! My little Qing is an angel!" "What's wrong?" "Nothing! I just feel so moved because our little Qing is an angel!" ...About the "Angel's Kiss"...... Four years ago, one evening, a little girl fell ill and suddenly developed a high fever. Her father rushed her to the hospital in a panic. Unfortunately, they missed the best time for treatment, and the little girl became deaf in her left ear. From then on, she couldn't hear any sounds with that ear. "Why can't you hear with your left ear?" "Little Qing, it's okay! Because our Little Qing is very well-behaved, so the angel just kissed our Little Qing's left ear, that's why it can't hear for a while!"

  "Did the angel really kiss my left ear?" "Of course!" "Xiao Qing, this is your Uncle Cao." My mother said to me. I took a look at this so-called Uncle Cao and didn't know what to do! Sigh... seeing his appearance, forget it! Let's just call him Uncle Cao. I stood up and said "Uncle Cao, hello!" "Ah! Xinyu, your Xiao Qing is really beautiful and well-behaved!" That Uncle Cao stroked my hair and said. "Hehe, no way!" I replied with a bit of embarrassment. Not long after, that Uncle Cao left our house. "Xiao Qing, what do you think of Uncle Cao?" pointing at the back of Uncle Cao's figure, my mother asked me. "Not bad! What's wrong?" "Today, Uncle Cao said he wants to marry me! What do you think?" Ever since eight years ago, when Dad passed away due to illness and left me and Mom alone, she had been shouldering all the responsibilities of our family by herself. Back then, we were very poor, even struggling to solve our hunger problem! But she always reserved all the food for me to eat, while she herself wouldn't dare to eat a single bite! Now that life is a bit better, it's time to consider her own happiness in her later years! I couldn't let her suffer anymore! It's already not easy enough... I said seriously. "I think Uncle Cao is pretty good! You can accept his proposal!" Hugging me tightly, she asked "Xiao Qing, do you really think so?" "Mm... must be happy..." After Uncle Cao married my mom, we moved from our original rural small house to a grand villa! And I transformed from Cinderella to a little princess...

  Uncle Sī Kōng is very good to me, treating me like his own child! Because when he was young, he only focused on his career and never thought about starting a family, so he never got married... As for me, it's as if we were destined to meet! Hehe! I also hope that the so-called mysterious... "Little Qíng, Uncle has arranged for you to attend a noble school!" Uncle Sī Kōng said to me, and I was taken aback by his words. My response was "Thank you, Uncle, but isn't that a noble school? It doesn't seem quite suitable for me..." "Why wouldn't my child be suited to attend a noble school?" Hearing Uncle Sī Kōng's words, I felt truly moved! I never thought he would treat me like his own biological daughter! Did my previous words hurt him deeply? I quickly apologized and said "Uncle Sī Kōng, sorry! I didn't mean it that way! I just thought..." Uncle Sī Kōng smiled warmly and said "It's okay, my dear daughter! I understand what you meant. But now that you're my child, how could I let you attend a school like that?" "But..." "No buts about it! By the way, Little Qíng, doesn't your hearing aid need to be replaced? We'll go buy a new one together tomorrow!" "No need, Uncle Sī Kōng! Mine still works fine!" "You're such a child, I'm your father now, and we have money! If it can be replaced, we'll replace it..." "I..." Uncle Sī Kōng walked out of my room, and as he closed the door, he said "Little Qíng, I really hope that one day you'll call me 'Dad'! Goodnight, sleep tight!" He left my room, and I lay in my large princess bed, feeling like everything was so unreal. But just now, Uncle Sī Kōng's words were so heartwarming and touching!

  Yes! Everyone already treats you as their own daughter! What are you still being stubborn about?! Uncle Si Kong is a heavenly sent knight to protect me and...
