Chapter 423 Two First Places

The little dumpling stood there dumbfounded, watching helplessly as Huo Nanxiao took her two older brothers away. She was both angry and aggrieved, her tiny face almost turning into a ball of anger.

“Chuchu, come to Mommy’s side.” Xia Ningxi suddenly beckoned to Chuchu.

The little girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she excitedly ran towards Xia Ningxi, calling out, "Mommy, Mommy!"

"Who upset Chu Chu?" Xia Ningxi asked gently.

Chu Chu pouted and said, "No."

"Your face is all swollen like a little balloon, and you still say you're not angry?" Xia Ningxi affectionately tapped Chu Chu's little head and said gently, "Even if Chu Chu doesn't tell Mommy, Mommy knows that Huo Nanxiao made you angry, right?"

"Yeah, he's annoying. He only picks up his brothers and ignores me." Chu Chu said in a cute but fierce tone.

Xia Ningxi said, "Didn't he pick up Chu Chu before? And tonight I told him that I would pick up Chu Chu specifically, and he would pick up his two older brothers. I'm not being biased."

"Okay, then I won't be angry anymore." Chu Chu was no longer angry.

Xia Ningxi carried Chu Chu out of the kindergarten.

On the bus, Xingxing was vividly describing the school sports meet. (Reading in the dark)

Xia Ningxi asked in confusion, "Does your school have a sports meet?"

"Yes, Mommy, there's a competition! I even participated!" Xingxing was very happy.

Xia Ningxi asked with a smile, "What competition did Xingxing sign up for? Tell Mommy quickly."

"I participated in the 200-meter race!" Xingxing said proudly.

"Wow, Xingxing is amazing! You're so great! Mommy believes in you. Winning or losing isn't important, it's all about participation. Mommy will come to school with you tomorrow to cheer you on." Xia Ningxi was very happy.

When Chu Chu heard her brother being praised, she came over and said, "Mommy, Mommy, Chu Chu participated in the competition too!"

"Hmm? Is that so?" Xia Ningxi raised her beautiful eyebrows.

Chu Chu proudly exclaimed, "I participated in a bowling competition!"

"Wow, Chu Chu is amazing too!" Xia Ningxi praised enthusiastically.

The two little ones were very expressive, which contrasted sharply with the quiet and reserved Huo Yuan.

When Huo Yuan saw his younger siblings talking to their parents in a very lively manner, he lowered his head very low.

Xia Ningxi noticed Huo Yuan's disappointment and pulled him to her side, asking softly, "Yuan, didn't you participate in the school sports meet?"

"No." Huo Yuan shook his head, too embarrassed to look up.

Xia Ningxi said, "Then A Yuan's task will be very big."

"A mission?" Huo Yuan looked up blankly, not understanding what Xia Ningxi was talking about.

Xia Ningxi hugged Huo Yuan and asked softly, "Your little brother and sister don't have a cheerleading squad for their competition, Yuan, would you like to be their cheerleader and cheer them on?"

"Can I?" A glint flashed in Huo Yuan's eyes.

Xia Ningxi said, "Of course! None of the other kids have cheerleaders. If you become a cheerleader for your younger siblings, they'll be really good at it. Would you like to be a cheerleader, Ayuan?"

"I'm willing!" Huo Yuan agreed without even thinking.

Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "Then your task is quite big. You'll have to take care of both Xingxing and Chuchu's competitions. Can you manage it all?"

"I can do it, Mommy! I can cheer them on! I can manage!" Little Huo Yuan finally felt involved, cheering on his younger siblings. He was very enthusiastic and no longer as frustrated as before.

Xia Ningxi finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Huo Yuan's excited expression, and continued to ask them about their fun experiences in kindergarten.

Xingxing said, "Mommy, there's a really annoying little boy in my class who keeps bullying Brother Huo Yuan."

"Why?" Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled.

"I know, it's because Brother Huo Yuan is better than him! He only got three little red flowers last week, while Brother Huo Yuan got five, which is better than him, so he got angry." Chu Chu quickly explained the gossip to Xia Ningxi.

Although four years old is not old, it already shows signs of jealousy and rivalry.

Huo Yuan is rather shy and very well-behaved at school. Unlike other children, he doesn't run around or cause trouble, so the teachers all like him very much. As a result, Huo Yuan has the most red flowers in the whole class.

The other children were very envious of Huo Yuan, but some classmates wanted to take away Huo Yuan's little red flower, and Mo Hanyu was one of them.

Xingxing and Chuchu signed up for the two competitions that Mo Hanyu was participating in in order to avenge Huo Yuan!

"Mommy, you have to come to the school sports meet tomorrow! Watch how Chu Chu beats that fat guy and gets revenge for Brother Huo Yuan!" Chu Chu said.

"Is Daddy free tomorrow?" Xingxing couldn't help but ask.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Tomorrow I'll go to kindergarten with your mommy."

"Yay!" The three little ones were very happy.

That evening, Huo Nanxiao took the three children to buy sneakers, wristbands, and other items. He also prepared two small flags for Huo Yuan to cheer on his younger siblings.

Huo Yuan is timid and doesn't dare to participate in competitions, but he cheers for his younger siblings with great enthusiasm.

When the actual competition at the kindergarten arrived, while the other children were nervous and at a loss, Huo Yuan was already holding the flag in both hands, trembling as he cheered on his younger siblings.

This was Huo Nanxiao's first time participating in a kindergarten sports meet. Seeing a group of children chattering together, he initially felt a bit overwhelmed, but when he learned that his child would be competing, Huo Nanxiao became somewhat nervous.

That's right, it's nervousness!

It was his first time participating in the kindergarten's sports meet, and also the first time he had watched his own child compete!

After hearing the teacher read out Xingxing's name, Huo Nanxiao patted the little guy next to him.

"Go."

"Okay!" Xingxing nodded and walked up to Huo Yuan: "Brother, wait for me, I'll go and beat Mo Hanyu and bring the trophy back to you."

"Go for it!" Huo Yuan said nervously, clenching her small hand.

Xingxing walked confidently and proudly toward the track.

The track was already full of children. There were twelve children participating in the 200-meter race, and Xingxing and Mo Hanyu were assigned to the second and third positions.

The chubby boy saw the stars and made a funny face at them.

His father was terrified and awkwardly explained to Huo Nanxiao, "Mr. Huo, it's just a kid joking, please don't mind."

"It's nothing," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.

Vice President Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

After a gunshot, the children on the track all took off running. They were a small group, but they ran quite fast.

Although Vice President Mo couldn't afford to offend Huo Nanxiao, who would want their son to be outshone by someone else?

Seeing that Xia Xingxing had two cheerleaders waving small flags and shouting "Go! Go!", and looking at his precious son who was clearly far behind Xia Xingxing, Vice President Mo also became anxious and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Son, come on! Overtake him! You must get first place!"

Chu Chu turned around and glanced at Vice President Mo, then shouted in a cute but fierce way, "Go, Xingxing brother!"

Huo Yuan waved a small flag and shouted, "Go for it!"

When Vice President Mo saw the score, it was two to one? How could he admit defeat? He continued to shout at the top of his lungs, his voice almost drowning out Chu Chu and Huo Yuan's.

Chu Chu hurriedly grabbed Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao's hands for help.

Xia Ningxi readily joined Huo Yuan in cheering on Xingxing; Huo Nanxiao, on the other hand, seemed quite embarrassed, as this was the first time he had ever done something like this in all his years of life.

Looking at the group of little children in the kindergarten, Huo Nanxiao couldn't bring himself to shout at them. He remained calm and indifferent throughout.

When the little dumpling first saw that Huo Nanxiao didn't say anything, she got angry and angrily let go of Huo Nanxiao's hand, ran to Huo Yuan's side and cheered with the cheerleaders!

Unsurprisingly, Xingxing won first place again, and even set a new kindergarten record!

The teachers were pleasantly surprised and praised Xingxing profusely.

"Xingxing is amazing, she broke the record!"

"Breaking the record will get you an extra prize!"

Xingxing asked, "What place did Mo Hanyu get?"

The teacher turned around and saw: "He's still working hard."

Xingxing turned around and exclaimed, "Oh dear, Mo didn't even make it to the finish line!"

Mo Hanyu burst into tears and sat down on the track, refusing to move.

Vice President Mo rushed over to comfort him.

Xingxing made a face at Mo Hanyu from afar, which made the little guy cry even more pitifully. Xingxing was very proud and immediately handed the prize to Huo Yuan after receiving it.

This was the first time Huo Yuan had ever received a prize at the school sports meet, and he was extremely happy.

When it was Chu Chu's turn to go on stage, Mo Hanyu rallied his spirits, eager to show off his skills. After all, he had been playing this game since he could remember. Although he was young, the games in kindergarten were not very difficult, so Mo Hanyu was very confident!

Just as Mo Hanyu was about to show off his skills, Chu Chu had already eliminated all the balls, making him extremely nervous. He made a mistake in the first round and finished third.

In the following rounds, Chu Chu performed exceptionally well, drawing excited cheers from the students on the sidelines.

Mo Hanyu was extremely nervous, but the more nervous he was, the more mistakes he made. After three rounds, he couldn't win a single one against Chu Chu. The little guy was so aggrieved that he sat on the ground and burst into tears again.

"Hehehe..." Chu Chu also made a face, then ran to find her two older brothers with her gifts in her arms.

Vice President Mo could only run to comfort his injured son, but he was extremely sad. He couldn't understand why his son, whom he had spent so much money to raise, couldn't even compare to Xia Xingxing, let alone a little girl. He was heartbroken!

Both children won first place, which is quite an excellent achievement in kindergarten. The teachers were very happy and praised the children to Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi was already used to it. When they were abroad, both children were top students in kindergarten, winning first place many times. The teachers liked them very much and often praised them.

However, Huo Nanxiao was different. It was Huo Nanxiao's first time participating in a kindergarten competition and the first time seeing his own children on the field. He was somewhat surprised and also very delighted. Seeing that Xingxing and Chuchu were both so excellent, he felt a sense of pride for some reason.

But seeing Huo Yuan timidly and afraid to participate in the competition, Huo Nanxiao felt heavy-hearted. If Huo Yuan always had his mother by his side, would he be as brave and confident as his younger siblings?
