The third day after the training camp ended was when kindergarten started.

Qin Yiren had agreed with Xu Wenyin to send their children to school together. Anyway, it was only a short walk away.

But when she knocked on the door and saw the Xu family’s mother and daughter coming out, she felt as if her eyes had been hurt so early in the morning.

“W-wenyin, why are you bringing so much stuff?”

Look at the two, they had three water bottles with them, two for Xu Wenyin and one for Xu Youyou, not to mention the big bags on their backs and the bags in their hands with unknown things.

At first glance, it appears as if they were moving out.

What were they doing?

Even Lu Chenjun’s tiny head was confused.

Weren’t they going to kindergarten? He had a water bottle and a small backpack on him, and this was still because it was the first day. But Xu Youyou……

She’s carrying…… a bag of fruits?

When Xu Wenyin heard the question, she was even more puzzled than them. “I searched online for things needed in kindergarten, but I was afraid of missing something.”

Her family’s baby would have to interact with more people and go to an unfamiliar environment, and it was unlike the training camp where no one was allowed to bring anything. Xu Wenyin, who had been working hard to make money during this period, certainly couldn’t let her child be inferior to others in material aspects.

She still remembered that in the novel, Zhou Weimin’s family seemed to treat Xu Youyou well on the surface, but in reality, they were just giving her a bite of food and a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

The issue of pocket money and so on was a no-brainer; Xu Youyou even had to ‘serve’ that family’s wastrel like she was his nanny.

Because she had no money and no time, she could only refuse whenever her classmates asked her to hang out with them on weekends. Gradually, Xu Youyou’s popularity deteriorated, and more and more people talked behind her back, saying how she was a cold person and looked down on others.

She grew up lonely and didn’t even have a single good friend until she was in her twenties.

Now that Xu Wenyin was there, of course, she couldn’t let Xu Youyou suffer that kind of torture again, so she not only prepared what was mentioned online, but she also prepared a lot of snacks that Xu Youyou could share with other children.

She’s really clever.

Qin Yiren: “……”

She thought of Xu Wenyin’s lack of common sense in certain aspects. When Xu Youyou went to the training camp, Qin Yiren also dragged Xu Wenyin to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor used various advanced instruments and declared that Xu Wenyin was very healthy, even healthier than most people.

But the brain was a very sophisticated thing, and it wasn’t impossible for such a condition to occur. The doctor only suggested that the person should recuperate and not be stimulated.

In order to prevent the mother and daughter from receiving strange looks from everyone on the first day, Qin Yiren pushed them into the house again with a wave of her hand.

Lu Chenjun, who was beside her, thoughtfully followed in.

He had probably gotten used to the Xu family’s mother and daughter’s antics from time to time, so he calmly walked to the corner of the sofa and sat down, took out a book from the small bag behind his back, and started reading.

While on the other side of the sofa……

Qin Yiren said, “There’s no need for three water bottles! One for storing water will do!”

Xu Wenyin asked, “Eh? Is there water in the kindergarten? I thought they weren’t providing water, so I specially bought a lot of water bottles.”

Qin Yiren: “……”

Which kindergarten doesn’t even have water these days?!

Bringing a water bottle was just for convenience. It’s so one could feel more at ease when they prepare their own!

Only then did Qin Yiren realize that Xu Wenyin had filled three water bottles with water, afraid that Xu Youyou wouldn’t have enough to drink.

She had even hung such a heavy thing around her neck.

At this moment, it was like Qin Yiren had been possessed by the strictest matron as she took out unnecessary things one by one.

“Blanket? It’s not needed unless Youyou can’t sleep without it.”

“Building blocks? It’s not needed, there are toys in the kindergarten.”

“Diapers? Didn’t Youyou stop using it?”

Xu Wenyin whispered, “I read online that it’s needed…… “

Qin Yiren felt as if she had used up all her sighs for that month.

In the end, it took ten minutes, but Qin Yiren reduced the pile of things to only a few items.

A water bottle and a small schoolbag with some snacks and a children’s picture book inside.

There’s also a children’s watch that Xu Youyou wears, which Lu Chenjun also has. It’s equipped with a locator and one-click emergency contact, just in case.

Xu Youyou, whose load became lighter, jumped on the spot twice, raised her head, and looked at Qin Yiren with admiration. “Aunt Qin, you know a lot!”

Qin Yiren smiled and picked up Xu Youyou. “I’m alright. If there’s anything you’re unsure about in the future, you can come and ask me first.” Don’t ever do things like trying to bring three water bottles!

This sentence wasn’t only meant for Xu Youyou, but also for Xu Wenyin. Anyway, their families were close and their children were going to the same kindergarten.

But Xu Wenyin didn’t know what Qin Yiren was thinking. She looked at the other party with a serious face. “I won’t lose!”

When it comes to raising babies, the hard-working system would never admit defeat!

Qin Yiren: “???”

Never mind, she had to be sympathetic to her friend’s occasional craziness.

Seeing that it was almost time, the four of them no longer delayed and went straight out of the underground parking lot. There’s a small exit there and once one walks out and crosses the road, one would find the gate to the kindergarten. This way, they would be less exposed to the sun on their way.

But as the group came out of the underground garage, they were still blocked by various cars and people on the opposite side.

Qin Yiren frowned slightly.

Even if it was the beginning of the school year, there were a little too many cars and people there, and many of them were even carrying cameras in their hands, as if there was a celebrity making a trip to the school.

Qin Yiren had inspected this kindergarten before. The number of students admitted every year was a fixed number of 30, and there were three classes in each grade, which meant that there were only ten children in each class, and it followed the route of small and high-quality classes.

Otherwise, it would really be a waste of the tuition fee.

Moreover, a lot of the children were from the neighborhood. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be ‘big shots’ coming there, otherwise she wouldn’t have considered it.

Qin Yiren didn’t want Lu Chenjun to be involved in too many complicated relationships as a child. Even if it was inevitable as he was born into the Lu family and the Qin family, she still hoped that her child could have a carefree and relatively simple childhood.

If it wasn’t for the fact that those three children ended up doing okay in the training camp, Qin Yiren wouldn’t have acquiesced when her assistant reported that the three families were tactfully testing the waters.

However, she thought she had considered every aspect, but something unexpected still happened.

“He’s here, he’s here!”

Someone in the crowd shouted as a luxurious RV slowly drove from a distance.

“It’s really Gu Yi!”

The discussion in the crowd reached Xu Youyou’s ears.

The little girl stood on tiptoes curiously, trying to see what was going on, but unfortunately. her height limited her vision.

With Xu Youyou’s short legs, it would be useless even if a chair was added.

She could only tug on Xu Wenyin’s pants. “Mom, who’s here? Someone awesome?”

Xu Wenyin couldn’t see the specific situation either. Although she didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of her baby, she just didn’t know.

“You don’t know Gu Yi?”

Now it was Qin Yiren’s turn to be surprised.

As a citizen of Hua Country, it was indeed rare for people not to know the name of the international star, Gu Yi.

The dramas he starred in have probably been seen by everyone from seventy-year-old grandmothers to five-year-old children.

Moreover, although Gu Yi was only in his early thirties, he had been famous for over a decade. He had endorsed countless products, and even if someone hadn’t watched the dramas he acted in, they should have at least heard his name. Logically speaking, Xu Wenyin should know him.

“I don’t remember unimportant people.” Xu Wenyin made a gesture of spreading her hands.

Not knowing his name meant he didn’t appear in the novel. Since he’s not a character mentioned, why does she need to know him?

All right.

Qin Yiren was persuaded.

But hearing Gu Yi’s name, she could guess as to why there were so many people there today.

Gu Yi has a son and he should also be about three years old.

When it was first exposed, many fans couldn’t accept it, which directly caused multiple online social platforms to crash, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

As for the son’s mother, there was no information about her.

Now it seemed that Gu Yi had enrolled the child to this kindergarten.

How could it be such a coincidence? Moreover, she hadn’t received any news about it at all.

To be honest, Qin Yiren wasn’t happy about this and found it troublesome, but she couldn’t say anything about it now as she had insufficient information.

After asking someone to check about the matter, Qin Yiren and the other three went into the kindergarten from the other side. Probably because everyone’s attention was focused on Gu Yi, their entry went fairly smoothly.

The principal had been waiting there for them for a long time. When he saw Qin Yiren, he hurriedly came up to her with an apologetic expression. “Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Xu, my apologies.”

“I also only received a last-minute notice yesterday that Mr. Gu’s child is coming here. I don’t know how the news got leaked to so many media outlets, but you can rest assured that our security measures are at the highest level and we will never allow irrelevant people to appear inside the school.”

Mr. Gu also stated that the child would only be here for six months. It seems he’s going to film a new movie. You……”

Seeing the principal bowing and apologizing while explaining, Qin Yiren said nothing more.

Since it has already become a fact, she’d look at the situation first.

Anyway, if it really doesn’t work out, it’s not a big deal to change schools.

Led by the principal, the group of four came to the small class where the two children were assigned.

Because they had been delayed for a while, they were quite late when they arrived. The other eight parents were already sitting on the chairs with their children, waiting for the official start of the school year.

There were also a few familiar faces among them.

“Youyou! Juanjuan!”

Qian Xin waved his small chubby hands while Liu Yanzhi happily greeted them.

“Xu Youyou!” Next to them was Liu Miaomiao, who was wearing a cute princess dress. It looked like she had specially dressed up for today, but this didn’t affect Liu Miaomiao’s movements.

Her wave was bigger and harder than Qian Xin’s, and her whole body was almost jumping up.

Xu Youyou, who didn’t expect to see acquaintances, was also very happy. “Xiao Pang, An’an and Miaomiao, you’re here too? What a coincidence!”

After hearing that, the first thing Lu Chenjun did was glance at Qin Yiren, and sure enough, his mother’s face showed no surprise.

Only a certain silly deer would think it’s a coincidence.

Qian Xin said, “Yeah, I just told An’an that you might come too when we saw Miaomiao, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”

Liu Miaomiao echoed, “I know, I know, this is like that thing mentioned on TV called— what was it called?”

Liu Yanzhi added, “Fate.”

Lu Chenjun: “……” Alright, there were a lot of dumb people.

The four children hadn’t seen each other for a few days, and they had endless things to talk about. They didn’t even need the principal to arrange their seats, and they, along with their parents, gathered into a group.

Such a commotion also attracted the attention of other children and parents.

In fact, Xu Wenyin and Qin Yiren had already attracted a lot of attention when they walked in with their children.

The reason was simple.

The mothers were beautiful and their children cute. The double appearance attack in front of them made many parents complain if this class was chosen based on appearance?

Not to mention the previous Liu Miaomiao and Liu Yanzhi, the two children that appeared right now were also the kind who could go straight to TV for commercials.

Even though almost all parents think their children are the cutest, to be honest, there must be a basis for judgment. If the mother was so beautiful, wasn’t it normal to give birth to a cute child?

One of the children had been crying and didn’t want to come to the kindergarten. Now his crying slowly stopped and his eyes kept drifting in the direction of the newcomers.

Sure enough, appearance was something that appealed to both young and old.

The parents weren’t unfamiliar with each other. Except for Xu Wenyin, they were all acquaintances, so when they saw the children chatting happily, they also started chatting, but it was mainly between the mothers. Occasionally, Father Liu^[1]Liu Maomao’s father and Father Qian would add a few words.

Liu Yanzhi’s parents didn’t accompany him. He came with Qian Xin’s family.

The topic of conversation between the mothers somehow came to Gu Yi.

Qian Xin’s mother was a slightly stout woman who looked charmingly naive at first glance. Her eyes noticeably brightened when she heard Gu Yi’s name.

“I didn’t expect that Gu Yi would bring his son here. I’ll have the pleasure of seeing him in the future, hahaha.”

Alright, appraisal complete.

This Mother Qian was a fan of Gu Yi.

Mother Liu also pursed her lips and smiled, but she was still a little worried about the media’s presence outside. After all, they were all famous entrepreneurs. It would be unsafe if they were photographed, especially the children.

However, the two men and Qin Yiren had taken this concern into account.

They have a lot of dealings with the media, so they can just give them a warning when they go back.

“Oh my goodness!”

“Gu Yi!”

Suddenly, small exclamations sounded.

Xu Wenyin, who had her back to the door, turned around and saw a tall figure.

The person who came was wearing a pair of large sunglasses that covered half of his face, and he was holding a male doll in his hand, which had the face of a standard handsome boy.

Comparable to Lu Chenjun’s.

“Hello everyone, I’m Gu Yi. I’m sorry for our sudden arrival and causing trouble to everyone.”

Gu Yi took off his sunglasses and expressed his apology to the parents and teachers in the classroom first, and then the two assistants behind him immediately stepped forward and distributed the gifts he had prepared in advance.

“It’s a small gift from me, I hope you don’t mind. Those media will probably not come here in the future……”

Gu Yi was truly someone who could stay in the entertainment industry for more than a decade. In just a few words showing courtesy, even those who were initially impatient with the media were now gradually losing their dislike.

What’s more, some parents who already liked Gu Yi, such as Qian Xin’s mother, who was one of the typical representatives.

As a well-known chef, she had met quite a few big shots, but she really had no resistance to handsome guys.

Father Qian on the side seemed to have long been used to it, and he still looked cheerful.

“Mr. Liu, I didn’t expect such a coincidence.”

After greeting everyone, Gu Yi quickly walked towards Xu Wenyin’s side along with his son. It appeared like he knew Liu Miaomiao’s father.

Sure enough, Father Liu stood up with a smile. He and Gu Yi only met once, and he didn’t expect the other party to recognize him. Since Gu Yi took the initiative to say hello, he naturally couldn’t lose his manners.

In no time, Gu Yi pushed his child in front of Liu Miaomiao and the others.

“Come, Xiao Bao, say hello to everyone.”

Gu Xiao Bao’s formal name was still unknown.

He greeted everyone in order in a low voice and seemed a bit shy by nature.

Qian Xin and the others had also been taught manners a long time ago, and they showed a bright smile towards him in a measured manner. Even Liu Miaomiao didn’t show any temper.

It was unknown if it was just a coincidence, but Xu Youyou happened to be the last one he greeted.

However, Gu Xiao Bao, who had been able to smoothly say ‘hello’ just now, suddenly got stuck when it came to Xu Youyou. He couldn’t utter a single word after mumbling for a long time, and his fair face was covered with blush.

Xu Youyou didn’t mind and took the initiative to extend her right hand. “Hello, my name is Xu Youyou.”

She would always be more tolerant of good-looking people, just like Juanjuan at that time.

Unexpectedly, this seemed to scare Gu Xiao Bao. His face turned redder and he lowered his head as if there were diamonds on the ground.

“Y-y-y……” He couldn’t say anything for a long time.

Xu Youyou tilted her head to the side. He doesn’t like to shake hands?

When she was about to take back her hand, her pinky finger was suddenly held by someone.

Gu Xiao Bao seemed to finally have the courage. He raised his face that was redder than a tomato and said shakily, “H-hello, my name is Gu Weiyi. I-I’m three years old this year. Nice to meet you.”

This introduction was longer and more detailed than others.

Xu Wenyin on the side couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow”. What’s going on with this little guy? Does he have a crush on her family’s baby?
