“Hey, hey, why are you here?”

It wasn’t just Xu Youyou who remembered this girl named Miaomiao, she likewise remembered Xu Youyou.

Thinking of Xu Youyou’s words last time she was crying, the little girl frowned and climbed down from her mother’s arms. She quickly stretched out her hand to pull Xu Youyou. As for why she wanted to pull her, just pull her first!

Xu Youyou naturally wouldn’t be caught by the other girl. She quickly ran in the opposite direction.

This aroused the little girl’s desire to win and her two short legs accelerated as well.

The two children began to run in circles around the adults.

“Stop right there!”

“Not stopping! I’m not stopping! Catch me if you can!”

“Stop! Huff, huff!”

“Bleh, bleh, bleh~”

Seeing Xu Youyou making faces, the adults who originally wanted to stop the two: “……”

They seemed to be having a lot of fun, so maybe they should just leave it alone for now.

Xu Wenyin saw that Xu Youyou had the upper hand, so she did not take action for the time being, but most of her attention was still on Xu Youyou. If the situation went wrong, she wouldn’t care whether she was rude or not. She would only feel bad for her own child!

“Ms. Xu, what a coincidence.” The girl’s parents were the first to greet her, “You and Mrs. Lu are also here?”

The couple obviously knew Qin Yiren, and there’s a hint of familiarity in their tone.

“Mr. and Mrs. Liu.”

Qin Yiren smiled faintly. She didn’t expect Xu Wenyin to have crossed paths with these two people. She herself had only met the couple a few times, but her brother seemed to have a good relationship with Mr. Liu.

Jiang City’s economy has been developing rapidly in the past two years. Many people have seen this precious land and want to get a share of the pie in advance. President Liu was one of them.

The adults didn’t chat for too long before a tanned and tall soldier came out of the training camp to hurry things along.

“Sister-in-law, don’t worry, we’ll take good care of Chenjun.”

This last sentence was addressed to Qin Yiren alone.

Except for Qin Yiren’s husband, who’s a soldier, all the children who came this time came through various channels. The Liu’s, for example, were standard businessmen.

After what happened to Xu Wenyin, they saw that the same three-year-old child, Xu Youyou, was smart, sensible, and courageous, but what about their family’s child?

She couldn’t even argue with others!

The couple learned from their mistake and took advantage of the fact that the old lady wouldn’t be back home for half a month, so they decided to send their spoiled daughter in for a good workout.

It was said that one could foresee a person’s future according to their personality when they’re young, and if they didn’t correct it in time, this girl would be a good-for-nothing!

Of course, only the Liu’s themselves knew whether there was any special thought behind being in the same grouping as Lu Chenjun.

“I don’t want! I’m not going!”

Sure enough, the little girl realized that she wasn’t there to play. Her parents wanted to leave her and she immediately started crying. She even wanted to rush over and hug her father’s legs and not let go.

But the tall soldier had sharp eyes, or maybe he had just seen too many children like this.

With swift movement, he grabbed the restless girl. Unable to move her hands or feet, the girl was carried away like a pig about to be slaughtered.

“Waah, Mom, Dad!”

Listening to the girl’s mournful cries, Xu Youyou took the initiative to hold Lu Chenjun’s hand and waved her other hand toward Xu Wenyin and Qin Yiren. “Mom, Aunt Qin, Juanjuan and I are going in. I’ll take good care of Juanjuan~”

——What a well-behaved and sensible child!

Mrs. Liu, who was originally a bit reluctant, now strengthened her resolve once again. Looking at the three little ones leaving, she couldn’t help but look at Xu Wenyin. “Ms. Xu, how do you teach your child? Can you give us a few tips?”

Xu Wenyin didn’t expect anyone to ask her such a question, and she couldn’t help feeling a little proud.

Her family’s Youyou was really great!

But thinking of social etiquette, Xu Wenyin showed a humble smile. “No, no, it’s Youyou who’s sensible.”

It seemed that she had been invisibly shown off?

As expected of a businesswoman, Mrs. Liu quickly changed her expression. “Youyou is really the cutest little girl I’ve ever seen. I hope Miaomiao can become good friends with her. Look at how destined their names are. One is Youyou and the other is Miaomiao. They’re even the same age, hahaha. “

Although Mrs. Liu didn’t know the specifics of Xu Wenyin’s background and had never met her before in their circle, based on the fact that Xu Wenyin was able to befriend Qin Yiren alone, Mrs. Liu wouldn’t easily offend her.

She was even glad that her daughter didn’t really hurt anyone that day, and she and her husband made amends in time.

Otherwise, the situation would definitely be awkward now.

Mrs. Liu was just about to take advantage of the opportunity to chat with Qin Yiren and Xu Wenyin about the children and promote their relationship, but she found that Xu Wenyin’s expression froze.

Xu Wenyin’s mind suddenly spun!

Miaomiao, surnamed Liu, and was the same age as Youyou.

Moreover, she was from Jiang City!

No matter how she thinks about it, this Liu Miaomiao should be the one who bullied Xu Youyou in high school for three years, and caused her to miss one exam at the college entrance examination. Xu Youyou could have gone to one of two excellent universities in the capital, but in the end, she could only go to an ordinary second-tier university!

Holy sh*t!

It’s actually her!

Xu Wenyin’s fist clenched instantly. The girl would stay with Xu Youyou for seven days, Xu Youyou wouldn’t be bullied, would she?

The image of Xu Youyou with tears in her eyes seemed to appear in her mind. Xu Wenyin turned around, wanting to rush in and bring Xu Youyou back.

Fortunately, Qin Yiren pulled her back in time.

“I said how come you didn’t look reluctant at all just now.” Qin Yiren looked at Xu Wenyin amusedly as she appeared like she was going to save the child or something. “Don’t worry, it will be safe inside, I promise!”

After being stopped, Xu Wenyin seemed to have calmed down. Xu Youyou was looking forward to this training, and she couldn’t let her child down.

Thinking about it carefully, this Liu Miaomiao was only three years old now, and Xu Youyou wasn’t the insecure and sensitive child she used to be. She had not suffered any losses during their two meetings. So maybe, probably, she’s being overly nervous.

It’s just a mini-boss at stage one. If they’re afraid of this, how would they fight the ultimate big boss in the future?!

Xu Wenyin, who had been helping others with power level in the game recently, had obviously been influenced to some extent. After comforting herself, she quickly said goodbye to Qin Yiren, thinking that she would feel assured once she got home to ‘communicate’ with Xu Youyou.

If that Liu Miaomiao really dared to bully Xu Youyou, she would hack the Liu’s official website!

Qin Yiren who was left behind: “……”

Sister, did you forget that we came in the same car?

Regardless of the adults’ misunderstanding, Xu Youyou and Lu Chenjun had already entered the base and saw the other two children who were training with them this time.

Both boys.

In fact, this was normal.

Generally, few parents were willing to send their girls to training camps. Xu Youyou and Liu Miaomiao were both in special circumstances.

“Hello, my name is Qian Xin, you can just call me Xiao Pang^[1]Little Fatty.” One of the boys, who was a little chubby and looked as soft as a big white steamed bun, showed an honest smile. “He’s Liu (different from Liu Miaomiao’s) Yanzhi, we’re both three years old~”

Liu Yanzhi, who was next to Qian Xin, smiled slightly. “Hello.”

He looked very polite, with a hint of charm in his actions, just like those big brothers in ancient costumes on TV!

Xu Youyou quickly memorized their names, and then she smiled and lifted Lu Chenjun’s hand. “Hello, my name is Xu Youyou, and he’s Juan— no, his name is……”

“Juanjuan, what’s your name?” Xu Youyou looked at Lu Chenjun without any semblance of embarrassment.

It seemed that Aunt Qin had mentioned his name once, but Xu Youyou always called him Juanjuan, and Qin Yiren also always called him by his nickname. As time went by, she completely forgot what Juanjuan’s real name was.

A certain curly-haired boy named Lu Chenjun: “……” I don’t want to talk.

“Idiot! Big idiot! Xu Youyou is a big idiot!”

Before Lu Chenjun could say anything, Liu Miaomiao started to mock with reddened eyes.

She cried so heart-wrenchingly just now, but when she really couldn’t see her parents and was frightened by the stern-faced soldier, she slowly stopped crying on her own. Now that she had a chance to laugh at Xu Youyou, she immediately forgot her sadness.

“Humph~” Xu Youyou ignored her.

Her mother said that ignoring people was the best form of contempt.

Although she didn’t understand what ‘contempt’ meant, she’d listen to her mother.

“Alright, his name is Lu Chenjun.”

The soldier who brought them there left at some point and was replaced by an instructor who looked more serious and fierce. “I don’t care what you’re like at home, you have to listen to me when you’re here, understand?!”

The last word was almost roared out, which sounded a bit scary. Liu Miaomiao, with still reddened eyes, seemed about to cry again.

As a result, the instructor glared, and Liu Miaomiao was so frightened that she hiccuped and hid behind Xu Youyou, whom she hated.

After all, compared to the other children who were all strangers, she at least knew Xu Youyou.

In fact, Xu Youyou was also startled, and she reflexively held Lu Chenjun’s hand again, as if it could give her strength.

Fortunately, Lu Chenjun’s reaction was as calm as ever, which gave Xu Youyou a little more confidence.

Juanjuan wasn’t afraid so she shouldn’t be afraid either!

With an inexplicable desire to compete, Xu Youyou straightened her chest and looked directly at the instructor.

It’s just that this kind of action that she thought was cool, in the eyes of the instructor, was like a little kitten baring its teeth without even having sharp claws.

To show polite fear would be too soft.

“Alright, since this is your first time here, I’ll explain the rules first!”

Seeing that he had successfully intimidated the children, the instructor tried his best to use words that even a small child could understand and explained the matters that they should pay attention to in the next few days.

In fact, it was quite troublesome to train three-year-olds.

They couldn’t really hit them, plus the children’s physical strength was limited, so they had to make sure they wouldn’t crush the children’s potential. After all, they were still too young and they as the instructors couldn’t do more harm than good.

During these seven days, the main task was to teach the children some training methods and what they could do when facing danger. Especially unruly children like Liu Miaomiao, who must be educated properly.

If all goes well, this training will continue for several years, and the content will definitely become increasingly demanding as the body matures.

In August, the weather in Jiang City was really hot.

The instructor said he wanted to take them to where they would be staying, but he was walking way ahead, and the few children struggled to follow behind.

At first, it was fine, but after walking for about five minutes, Liu Miaomiao was the first one who couldn’t bear it.

“Car! I want a car! Miaomiao can’t walk anymore!”

“There are no cars here. Either walk there by yourself or sleep here tonight! No one will come to take care of you!”

The instructor’s cruel words prevented several children from having any objections.

Even Liu Miaomiao, who was good at throwing tantrums and rolling around, didn’t dare to yell like before.

Children also know how to assess the situation. Liu Miaomiao knew that there was no grandmother or parents who would ache for her, and the fierce monster in front of her wouldn’t feel sorry for her either, so she wiped away the tears that fell unconsciously and wanted to continue walking.

Who knew that someone wasn’t paying attention?

“Thud’.

Liu Miaomiao fell directly to the ground. Fortunately, it was a green lawn, so she wasn’t injured except for being a little dirty.

“Wuuwuu.” The little one still couldn’t hold back. “I want Mom and Dad, wuuwuu.”

Xu Youyou was also a little uncomfortable from the hot sun, but she looked at the pitiful Liu Miaomiao, bit her lip, and then she extended her other free hand. “Get up. Walk faster and we’ll get there soon.”

Although she still didn’t like Liu Miaomiao very much, leaving people alone like this wasn’t something Xu Youyou could do.

At the same time, Qian Xin and Liu Yanzhi also came over to help Liu Miaomiao up and patiently comforted her. It could be seen that the two boys’ family education must be very good.

Liu Miaomiao stood up again and glanced at the three. She lowered her head and it was unknown what she was thinking, but soon her two sweaty little hands tightly clasped the hands on both sides.

The three groups of people who were originally scattered finally joined hands and followed the instructor, heading toward their goal.

Just like five kittens walking side by side at a slightly messy pace, no one was missing.
