Yuanyuan had no real concept of going to school.

At the orphanage, they had “lessons,” but she thought of them more as playing, nothing particularly serious.

However, after returning home, she noticed that both her brothers had to go to school every day, and they were gone for such a long time. Especially her second brother, who came back from school every day looking utterly drained, like he’d been through the wringer. He even seemed miserable while doing his homework.

Boohoo! If she had to go to school, would she have to do homework too?

It was barely morning, and Yuanyuan was already hit by two big shocks, leaving her frozen in place.

“And on Friday, I’ve scheduled a health checkup for you at the hospital,” Yu Jinxiao casually dropped the third bombshell.

But this time, Yuanyuan didn’t react to the mention of the hospital.

Because…

She’d never been to one before!

She had no idea what was in a hospital, so how could she be scared?

Compared to the hospital, the thought of school and having to do homework was far more terrifying.

After hearing about her impending kindergarten start, Yuanyuan began counting down her last few days of freedom. Every day, she carefully played with her favorite toys, making sure each one got attention before she reluctantly put them away.

Friday morning came—the day of the checkup.

Yu Jinxiao was puzzled by this little girl. She didn’t seem scared of going to the hospital at all, but the mention of school made her visibly anxious. For the past few days, she’d been pestering her brothers with questions about school—asking if the homework was hard, whether the teachers were strict, and if the classmates were friendly.

On the car ride to the hospital, she was still asking Yu Jinxiao about school, completely unaware of what she was about to face.

For convenience, Yu Jinxiao had arranged for a private doctor. Yuanyuan would be the only patient going through the entire checkup process, with no need to wait in line.

The preliminary checks, such as height and weight, went smoothly.

Yuanyuan was very cooperative, and even the nurse praised her for being such a good, obedient girl.

Completely unaware of what was about to happen, the little girl was led to a different room.

Yu Jinxiao, with plenty of experience in such situations, sat down on a chair and placed Yuanyuan on his lap, holding her small hands tightly.

Feeling her movements restricted, Yuanyuan got a bad feeling. “What… what are we checking now?”

The nurse, smiling warmly, lifted the syringe in her hand.

The sight of the gleaming needle sent shivers down Yuan Yuan’s spine, and she began to squirm in a panic. “Noooo! Don’t poke Yuan Yuan! Waaaah, help! Daddy, save me!”

But as soon as she called for help, Yuanyuan realized that she had been betrayed by her Daddy!

The one holding her hands captive was none other than her daddy!

Daddy was just sitting there, watching the sharp needle inch closer!

“Waaah, Nurse Sister, you’re so pretty! You wouldn’t poke Yuanyuan, right?” she sobbed desperately, squirming like a little fish. “Don’t poke Yuanyuan! If you poke me, I’ll leak air, and if I leak, there’ll be no more Yuanyuan!”

“Don’t worry,” Yu Jinxiao said, completely deadpan. “Even if Yuanyuan leaks, there’s still a flat Yuanyuan. And if that doesn’t work, there’s always a paper-thin version.”

Waaahhhh—

Yuanyuan’s tears poured down even harder.

She didn’t want to be flat, and she definitely didn’t want to be paper-thin!

“Don’t worry, sweetie, it really won’t hurt,” the nurse said with a smile, trying to soothe the crying child. “It’ll be just like a mosquito bite—quick and painless.”

“Yeah, we’ll just stick the needle in your arm, then squeeze a bit of blood out,” Yu Jinxiao chimed in, shattering the nurse’s gentle attempts to reassure Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan’s fur practically stood on end.

Not only were they going to stick the needle into her arm, but they were also going to squeeze her poor, injured hand afterward!!!

How terrifying!!!

Already squirming in her daddy’s lap, Yuanyuan began thrashing about, trying to escape.
