“Hahahaha.”

Gu Weiyi’s reaction caused the other adults around to let out a good-natured laugh, but they didn’t think much of it.

After all, he’s just a three-year-old kid. What would he know about love? It’s probably just because of Xu Youyou’s cuteness.

Among the boys, Lu Chenjun and Liu Yanzhi were both good-looking, and so was Gu Weiyi.

Among the girls, Xu Youyou can be said to be the cutest in the class, or even the prettiest in the entire kindergarten.

As long as nothing happened to her face, it can be expected that Xu Youyou would be a great beauty not inferior to Xu Wenyin when she grows up.

Although Liu Miaomiao’s appearance wasn’t bad, upon closer inspection, her eyes weren’t as big and her facial features weren’t as exquisite as Xu Youyou’s. Overall, her look was slightly short.

In addition, today was the first day of school. Xu Wenyin learned from books that the so-called first impression was very important. For the sake of her child’s happy kindergarten life in the future, this old mother especially learned a complex and exquisite double-bun hairstyle from an online video tutorial.

Paired with a pretty and simple little dress and leather shoes, Xu Youyou looked a little cuter than usual today, like an exquisite Barbie doll. Even Qin Yiren couldn’t resist kissing her in the morning.

She even inwardly thought that having a daughter was indeed good; she could do all kinds of exquisite hairstyles on her head, dress her up beautifully, and make her wear a variety of little dresses.

If Qin Yiren had a daughter, even if she wanted the stars in the sky, she would be willing to pluck them all for her, unlike……

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, it would just give her a headache.

“Xiao Lu.”

Lu Chenjun’s sudden call made Xu Youyou incline her body out of habit, thus releasing Gu Weiyi’s grip on her pinky. She asked, “Juanjuan? What is it?”

Lu Chenjun didn’t say anything. He just stepped forward and held Xu Youyou’s hand, then silently looked at Gu Weiyi, making the shy little boy lower his head again.

Qin Yiren: . “…..” Pfft—

She forced back her laughter and stepped forward to smooth things over. “Alright, Juanjuan, leave Youyou be. The teacher is here, come and sit down.”

Because this kindergarten was bilingual, it naturally had experienced teachers who graduated from prestigious universities.

Otherwise, Qin Yiren wouldn’t have chosen this place.

After all the parents and their children were sitting down, Teacher Xu, who was in charge of this small class, came in front.

She looked less than forty, with a kind and gentle face, and she spoke in an unhurried manner. She seemed to have a special charm, which gave people a good first impression.

“Parents and children, hello……”

Teacher Xu said her opening words and her gaze calmly swept over Qin Yiren’s side, where the most important children were.

With her qualifications and experience, she was originally teaching children in an aristocratic kindergarten in the capital. Now that she’s there, it was naturally because someone paid a large sum of money to hire her.

The purpose, of course, was to educate the children in this class well.

After all, building a child’s foundation was very important. If they were taught badly, it would be really difficult to reverse.

After saying a few things and letting the children come in front to introduce themselves, it was time for the parents to leave.

Soon, there were only eleven children left in the classroom, five girls and six boys, and the extra one being Gu Weiyi.

Teacher Xu first led everyone to play a few small games. After seeing that they weren’t so constrained, she started telling stories and it was already noon before they knew it.

The childcare auntie took the children next door to wash their hands before returning to the classroom. They saw that the tables and chairs, along with their lunch had already been placed in the center, but they had to eat by themselves, which was no problem at all for these children.

This kindergarten also has requirements when enrolling students. They must learn at least some basic skills such as eating, using the toilet, and drinking water by themselves.

In other words, the children there have already surpassed a portion of their peers in terms of doing things independently.

While eating, Xu Youyou and the others naturally chatted about the things they didn’t manage to finish discussing after they parted ways last time.

“It’s this Sunday, you’re all coming, right?”

Qian Xin waved his little hands, very excited.

“My mom’s cooking is really delicious!”

It turned out that this Sunday happened to be Qian Xin’s birthday. He originally wanted his parents to invite Xu Youyou and the others, but he didn’t expect that they would all be in the same class. They must come!

Birthday party?

This was the first time Xu Youyou had been invited to attend a friend’s birthday.

Birthdays for children in the orphanage were very simple. They would just sing Happy Birthday together and maybe have an extra chicken leg for dinner or some small gift. There’s not even a birthday cake.

It’s because it’s hard to balance.

The orphanage had no money to buy a big cake. But if they buy a small one, even if it’s someone’s birthday, other children watching would feel uncomfortable if they didn’t get any share.

Might as well not buy any!

Birthday cake……

Xu Youyou thought again of those beautiful cakes in TV dramas that looked delicious.

Her birthday was in October and it’s coming soon as well.

Can I also have a cake as beautiful as those?

“We got it, Xiao Pang, you’re so talkative!”

Liu Miaomiao waved her hands impatiently, then turned her head to look at Xu Youyou, her eyes were wandering from side to side as if she was…… embarrassed?

“Um, Xu Youyou, Miaomiao bought a new doll, would you like to come to my house and take a look?”

This was the first time Liu Miaomiao took the initiative to invite someone to her house.

One must know that the Liu family had other children about the same age as Liu Miaomiao, but this little girl was so domineering and willful. Not to mention sharing dolls, other children weren’t even allowed to enter her room.

The Liu family was entirely supported by Father Liu. Those adults had long warned their children not to offend Liu Miaomiao, so she had no friends of the same age as she was growing up.

“Youyou don’t know. Youyou have to ask Mom but it should be fine.”

Xu Youyou no longer hated Liu Miaomiao. After living together for a while, it’s difficult to hate someone as long as the other person isn’t particularly bad.

What’s more, the two little girls had at least taken a bath together~

“Not this weekend, you have to come to my house first!”

Qian Xin interjected, “My mom is cooking and the food she makes is delicious~ Isn’t that right, An’an?”

The little boy emphasized again. It seemed that Qian Xin really wanted all the kids he knew to taste his mother’s cooking.

Once there were too many children chattering, it was almost impossible to be quiet.

Fortunately, Lu Chenjun was already used to it and was able to do two things at once—— Collecting useful information from their conversations while doing his own thing.

For instance, observing Gu Weiyi.

Because of Gu Yi’s request, he temporarily joined their small group, and everyone occasionally chatted with Gu Weiyi.

Fortunately, he followed Xu Youyou quietly and didn’t interrupt when others were chatting.

Logically speaking, he’s the type of kid that Lu Chenjun wouldn’t repel.

But why does he keep on following Xiao Lu? There were obviously so many of them.

This was what Lu Chenjun observed.

When walking, no matter whether Xu Youyou switches to the left or the right, Gu Weiyi will follow closely. Why was that?

He couldn’t figure it out, so he continued to observe.

Right at that moment, Gu Weiyi spoke.

“Y-youyou, my dad is shooting a movie in Jiang City, do you want to come and see it?”

Just after he finished speaking, Gu Weiyi lowered his head again, leaving only a pair of red ears that appeared as if they could drip blood visible.

Before Xu Youyou could answer, Liu Miaomiao snorted.

“No, she has to come to my house to see the doll first.”

Although Gu Xiao Bao’s father was very handsome, he couldn’t jump in line.

Forget about Xiao Pang, how come even this newcomer was daring to fight over Xu Youyou?!

Gu Weiyi was startled and waved his hands in panic. “N-not now, it’s fine if it’s later. Y-you can all come.”

Lu Chenjun: “……”

Were these guys trying to snatch Xiao Lu from him? They’re even making reservations for later?

Hahahaha.

Xu Wenyin in Xu Youyou’s head was almost laughing like crazy.

In order to better understand human culture and common sense, she recently watched a popular TV drama, which was supposedly some kind of harem series.

Looking at it, Xu Wenyin couldn’t understand why so many women were fighting over the emperor.

Does this emperor have some special charm?

Seeing this scene now, Xu Wenyin suddenly understood somewhat.

If Youyou was the emperor, wouldn’t it be natural for everyone to fight over her?

Fortunately, polygamy was no longer allowed in this country. Otherwise, she would have to work even harder to make money and buy a big, big house to make everyone happy.

That was no better than being tangled up with that scumbag!

Then Xu Wenyin watched Xu Youyou soothed Liu Miaomiao and Gu Weiyi with a few words, and even held Lu Chenjun’s hand, saying that everyone would play together in the future, immediately turning the originally tense atmosphere into a harmonious one.

Wow, incredible, incredible.

Xu Wenyin applauded and sincerely expressed that the acting in the TV drama wasn’t as good as the real-life version.

Baby Youyou, you’re Mom’s idol!

Soon, the first day of kindergarten came to an end.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Xu Youyou waited for Xu Wenyin to pick her up.

In fact, Xu Wenyin had been ‘following’ Xu Youyou during the day, but she rarely spoke.

It’s rare for the little girl to play with a lot of kids. Xu Wenyin considered herself an enlightened parent, so of course she couldn’t just interrupt at any time.

Moreover, she saw that Xu Youyou was handling it very well. Someone adamantly refused to admit that she had a lot of fun watching the ‘show’.

Xu Youyou even gave off a faint air of being the group’s big sister.

The children were all subconsciously revolving around Xu Youyou, and a lot of times, what Xu Youyou said would directly become a decision.

Even Xiao Juanmao wouldn’t refute it.

As expected of her baby, so domineering at such a young age.

Xu Wenyin happily picked up Xu Youyou. “Did you have fun today?”

“Yes~”

There wasn’t only Liu Miaomiao and the others, who already knew each other, they also got familiar with the faces of the other children in their class. Perhaps they couldn’t call each other by names right away, but they’re also considered acquaintances.

Two other kids also live in the same community as Xu Youyou and Lu Chenjun.

Xu Youyou had no lack of experience in getting along with other children, but she was somewhat isolated by the kids in the orphanage due to her lovable appearance.

For example, no one would actively call her whenever they were playing, and no one would actively sit next to her during meals. If it was an adult with a strong mind, they might not care about such tricks.

But to a child, the harm could be insignificant.

They would unconsciously doubt whether it was their own problem, and then a vicious cycle would follow.

The more insecure they get, the less likely that someone will play with them.

No matter how cute and beautiful the appearance, without the support of a strong heart, they would slowly wither like a flower.

A person’s character, perspective, methods of doing things, and so on were cultivated bit by bit by the things and people around them when they were young.

Fortunately, before Xu Youyou’s self-confidence was destroyed, she met Xu Wenyin.

To be honest, Xu Youyou now felt like the most popular child in her class.

They all like to play with her.

Xu Wenyin could prove that this was true.

Even though there’s the big star’s son, Gu Weiyi, the knowledgeable Lu Chenjun, and the little prince-like Liu Yanzhi in class, Xu Youyou was still the most sought-after.

She had an indescribable charm.

Maybe it’s those big sparkling eyes, maybe it’s the tone of her voice when speaking, maybe…… it’s simply because Xu Youyou was pretty and cute.

In short, the current Xu Youyou was like a little princess in a fairy tale.

For example, during the game grouping in the morning where two people were required to work together, Liu Miaomiao and the others expressed their desire to be in the same group as Xu Youyou.

In the end, Teacher Xu decided to just draw lots.

After all, who doesn’t like playing with princesses?

“Youyou, would you like to go to Aunt Qin’s house with your mom for dinner tonight?”

As they were walking towards home, Qin Yiren smiled while looking at Xu Youyou.

Ever since Qin Yiren and Xu Wenyin had late-night snacks, eating together became a regular occurrence.

Like today at noon, Qin Yiren came to call Xu Wenyin again.

Since both Youyou and Juanjuan had gone to kindergarten, leaving two old people to eat alone would be a bit lonely. It was also troublesome for Xu Wenyin to cook for herself, so she might as well join in as a companion.

Anyway, Qin Yiren had no shortage of food and she would just ask the cook to make more.

Although Xu Wenyin didn’t need to eat, she wouldn’t turn down a delicious meal that came to her doorstep.

After Xu Youyou goes to kindergarten, she could save time on cooking during the day. As long as she arranged her time well, she wouldn’t overturn.

“Okay! Thank you, Aunt Qin~”

Xu Youyou raised a smiling face. She also liked eating with Aunt Qin and Juanjuan.

It felt livelier and more fun.

“Gosh, Youyou is so cute!”

Qin Yiren felt that her young girl’s heart was about to melt from the cuteness.

How could there be such a cute little girl in this world?!

———pr

At 5:00 pm, Xu Youyou and Xu Wenyin appeared at Qin Yiren’s house on time.

The auntie was making the last dish in the kitchen, while Qin Yiren was watching a science program with Lu Chenjun.

Seeing the two arrive, she hurriedly stood up to receive them and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She was really not interested in this show, 《The Life of a Pterosaur》 at all, but she forced herself to watch it in order to spend more time with her child.

Fortunately, she’s finally been rescued.

“Juanjuan, watch it later, it’s time to eat.”

The two children washed their hands first, then sat down in their seats and waited for the meal.

“Youyou, try this fish ball, it has no bones.”

The dishes in Qin Yiren’s house mainly depend on children’s tastes. It has to be healthy and nutritious as well as delicious, which was really a test of the ingredients and the Auntie’s cooking skills.

Fortunately, the Qin family doesn’t lack both.

“Mmmhmm.” Xu Youyou was very obedient and took a bite of the fish ball. “It’s second best~”

It was springy, chewy, and very tasty. Xu Youyou really like the food at Juanjuan’s home!

The little girl ate happily, and Qin Yiren was also happy to see it.

Don’t think she hadn’t noticed that every time Youyou came to eat, her family’s Juanjuan would take extra bites of food.

Sure enough, the next second, Lu Chenjun also reached out to take a fish ball with a spoon, put it into his bowl, and started eating silently.

“Juanjuan! This one is also delicious ~”

“Um.”

“Wenyin, try this dish. It’s good for the skin, although you’re beautiful enough, hahaha.”

To which, Xu Wenyin honestly said, “You’re more beautiful. You’re the most beautiful human female I’ve ever seen.”

Qin Yiren was already used to Xu Wenyin’s occasional strange words, but the smile on her face still grew brighter.

Who doesn’t like to be praised by a beautiful woman in such a sincere tone?

Anyway, she’s very happy!

She would find a chance to discuss it with Xu Wenyin later. The two should just come to her house for dinner whenever they have nothing else to do.

That’d be nice. It’s much more fun than eating alone with Juanjuan.

But what better reason should she find so her suggestion wouldn’t easily be rejected?

Just when the four were happily eating, the sound of the door being unlocked sounded with a beep.

The next second, the door opened and a dusty man in a military uniform appeared at the doorway, accompanied by the sentence, “Wife, Juanjuan, I’m home!”

The identity of the newcomer was self-evident.

Hmm? Why didn’t his dear wife rush over to welcome him right away?

Father Lu, also known as Lu Weizheng, raised his head and turned his gaze, and saw the ‘family’ who seemed to be enjoying themselves in the living room.

Moreover, his dear wife was in the middle of picking up food for the person sitting opposite, looking very considerate.

As for his debt collector son—— Hey, hey, hey, what’s with that disdainful look?!

Lu Weizheng: “……”

What the hell? Why does he feel like he’s unnecessary?!

This was his house, his wife, and his son, right?!
