She had watched Chen Bing grow up, and she couldn't bear to see such a smart, polite, well-behaved, and lovely child ruined by the wrong way of educating him.

I must talk to Liu Yue about this and make her understand that putting too much pressure on a child too early is not good for his healthy growth.

So, with a kind heart, Yunxuan dialed Liuyue's number.

"Hey, Sister Xuanxuan, what's wrong?"

"Yueyue, it's like this. Yunmiao said she misses her brother Chen Bing, so I was thinking of inviting Chen Bing over for lunch today. Could you call Chen Bing's extracurricular teacher and tell him not to come today?"

Liu Yue didn't think much of it when she heard this, and she was about to agree to it. But then she thought about it again. It was Chen Bing who wanted to take the extracurricular class, so shouldn't she, as his mother, be too disrespectful of his opinion?

So she had no choice but to politely change her words and say, "Okay, I'll ask him later and see if he's willing."

After saying goodbye to each other, the two hung up the phone.

It depends on whether they are willing or not. Are the teachers in the extracurricular classes really that strict?

Under the guidance of such teachers, even if a child achieves temporary success, their personality will not be well-developed.

Suddenly, Yunxuan felt even more sorry for Chen Bing.

"Mom, is Chen Bing coming to our house?" Shang Yunmiao had been listening the whole time and asked happily when she saw that her mother and Aunt Liu Yue had agreed on the arrangements.

"Yes, it's coming."

"Won't we disturb him?" Shang Yunmiao knew that Chen Bing liked to practice the piano, paint, and do all sorts of strange and unusual things, so she was a little uneasy, afraid that she might disturb him.

In contrast, Yunxuan, who was unaware of the situation, had no such idea at all.

"How could that be? He definitely enjoys playing with you too."

Compared to extracurricular classes.

Unaware that her mother had added these words in her mind, Shang Yunmiao was clearly skeptical of the statement's credibility. She nodded with a hint of doubt, then quickly put these worries aside.

After making the phone call, Yunxuan took her daughter out and rang Chen Bing's doorbell. Coincidentally, Chen Bing had just finished a phone call with Liu Yue and accepted the "suggestion" to skip class that afternoon.

He pushed open the door and saw Yunxuan and Shang Yunmiao standing at the door.

"Hello Aunt Xuan, my mom just told me that I don't need to go to my extracurricular class this afternoon."

After all, it was my mentor who wanted to treat me to a meal, so I could only reluctantly put the extracurricular class, which I could attend anytime, a little further down my schedule.

Yunxuan smiled happily after hearing Chen Bing's words.

"Then why don't you come to Auntie's house today and have a great time all day, okay?"

Am I going to play all day? I'm planning to go for a run this afternoon, then practice calligraphy when I get back, review some junior and senior high school material before bed, then wash up, lie in bed, and happily drift off to sleep, satisfied with the fruits of my labor all day.

But since the teacher has said so, they'll just have to move up the list. They can always try harder next week to make up for the lost time.

Thinking of this, Chen Bing nodded and gave a heavy "hmm".

Afterwards, Yunxuan happily took her two children home. After putting on the Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf toy, which is most popular with children, she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Let Chen Bing relax first, and then we'll talk to Liu Yue and the other person properly when they return in the afternoon.

Feeling deeply that she had done a good deed, Yunxuan was overjoyed. This joy was outwardly expressed as she hummed a song while picking vegetables.

Chen Bing had absolutely no interest in the poorly made and formulaic Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf series, which had been around for 10 years. He glanced at Xiao Shang, who seemed completely engrossed in it.

Not intending to continue watching, Chen Bing quietly stood up and went to the kitchen without attracting Shang Yunmiao's attention.

"Aunt Xuan, let me help you."

Chen Bing, who was looking for something meaningful to do, was destined to be disappointed, because Yun Xuan, who was planning to let Chen Bing relax, would certainly not agree to the suggestion.

So Chen Bing had no choice but to sit back down in the living room and patiently watch the cartoon.

"Chen Bing, don't you like watching this?"

When the commercial break came, Shang Yunmiao, who had snapped out of her reverie and whose sharp mind had regained its footing, noticed Chen Bing's thoughts. She leaned against Chen Bing and raised her head slightly to ask.

"I wouldn't say I dislike you," Chen Bing replied truthfully.

"Well..." Shang Yunmiao turned off the TV and said in an apologetic and uncertain tone, "How about I take you home?"

!

Can you please stop being so nice? You're making me feel a little embarrassed.

Chen Bing felt a little guilty. She then began to criticize her own arrogant idea that studying hard was the most noble thing in the world.

Oh well, I'll just treat today as my day to relax. Since I'm not planning on learning anything new, I might as well have some fun.

"No need to go back. Is there anything you'd like to do? Let's go play together."

Upon hearing this, Shang Yunmiao felt as if she had received a red envelope at Christmas, feeling both lucky and somewhat uneasy.

"May I?"

Chen Bing nodded generously.

"Then, then I want to watch you practice the piano."

The way Shang Yunmiao said it was like asking her parents for a red envelope during Chinese New Year, which was a little pathetic.

"If you're not going to practice the piano, how about I take you to play with the dolls?" Chen Bing, who had already decided to study hard, stroked her chin and guessed Shang Yunmiao's mood before saying this.

Shang Yunmiao was slightly surprised; little girls of this age undoubtedly loved dolls. They liked to dress them up and then use them to play house.

However, the boys were clearly not interested in this. Shang Yunmiao vaguely remembered that many girls had asked Chen Bing to play with dolls in kindergarten, but he had never agreed.

When school first started, I really wanted to join in. Now, is this almost fantastical thing really possible?

"Is it okay?" Shang Yunmiao's voice told Chen Bing that she was looking forward to it, but the other person's expression was so uncertain.

Chen Bing then stopped talking and directly took Shang Yunmiao's hand and walked towards her room.

Originally, this was a gesture that was a bit domineering, a bit sweet, and a bit doting, but Chen Bing, who liked to daydream, couldn't help but let her thoughts wander a little further.

In a girl's home, in front of her parents, dragging her directly into her bedroom—such a bold act is probably only something a child could do. If he were even ten years older, he would definitely be charged with indecent assault, and would likely end up being drowned in a pig cage.

Lost in thought, he walked into Shang Yunmiao's bedroom.

After the girl took the dolls out of the cabinet, she happily handed one to Chen Bing and excitedly introduced it, "Her name is Amy."

It's a very common blonde Barbie doll.

"This is Ella."

The names are all quite stylish; did she choose them herself?

"Then, this is Cuihua, and this is Hongmei."

?

Why did the style change so much all of a sudden?

Chen Bing suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Ella and Amy are princesses living in the castle, while Cuihua and Hongmei are the lord's illegitimate daughters. After the lord dies, Cuihua and Hongmei are brought back by the castle's steward, but Ella and Amy dislike them. In order to fight for the lord's succession and defeat their two wicked sisters, Cuihua and Hongmei decide to join forces."

Then, Chen Bing, how about you be the dad and I'll be the mom?
