Chapter 140 Nian Nian Graduation

"Okay, we're done." The photographer finished his work, straightened up, and asked jokingly, "Are there any children we missed?"

Teacher Qin propped herself up on her knees, looked back at the entire Xingxing class, and said with a smile, "That's it, that's it! Our class is all here."

"Then keep the negatives of both graduation photos. When the time comes, develop both and send them to your class." Changying Kindergarten could still meet the need for one more photo.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

"Oh, no trouble, no trouble." The photographer shook his head and pointed in a direction. "I'm going to the next class."

Teacher Qin nodded happily. After everyone left, she turned to the entire Xingxing class and said, "There will be a graduation performance in the small auditorium later. The children already know about this, right?"

"Yes——" a group of children stretched out the words.

"Okay," Teacher Qin clapped his palms together, making a crisp sound. "The graduation performance is not mandatory for the children. You are free to choose. If you have an emergency at home or don't want to watch, you can choose not to watch."

"In half an hour, children who want to watch the performance can gather here with their parents. Teacher Qin will accompany you. Okay?"

"good--"

"Well, everyone, feel free to move around." Teacher Qin disbanded the team.

The neatly arranged team suddenly became chaotic and noisy. Miraculously, it was not a disorderly chaos, but an organized and purposeful movement centered around Nian Nian and the other four.

Many children from the Star Class rushed towards the four of them and surrounded them.

"Niannian, today is the last time we meet. I, I am a little reluctant to leave you. What should I do? Woohoo..." Tan Jiawen, who took the lead, had a very beautiful braid today, but she didn't care about her image at the moment. She just wanted to express her reluctance to leave.

She and Nian Nian established a revolutionary friendship in the last year of kindergarten, and often gave each other snacks and small gifts. Who would have thought that such happy days would pass so quickly and come to an end today.

Nian Nian also didn't forget every little thing she had with her. She was infected by her and felt a little lonely: "...well, Nian Nian can't bear to leave you either."

"And me, Nian Nian. I've memorized all the secrets you taught me about growing flowers." The other child was almost in tears. "Don't worry, while I can't see you, I'll definitely grow it big and beautiful! Wuu ...

"Niannian, I have something to say too..."

"I have one too..."

“Nian Nian…”

None of the children in the Star Class left. They all talked at once, one after another, with tears in their eyes, expressing their reluctance to leave Nian Nian.

Xi Zimu and Ji Shuhe looked at each other, both feeling hopeful: Fortunately, they had already agreed to go to the same school in the future and would not be separated.

Jiang Duan listened to their heartfelt words to Nian Nian, but his heart remained calm.

Nian Nian, who was in the crowd, seemed to be overwhelmed by an emotion called sadness. Listening to everyone's words, her round eyes were dyed red like a rabbit, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Woo, Nian Nian, Nian Nian..." His nose twitched and he was choked with sobs and couldn't utter a word. He looked at Jiang Duan beside him for help.

"...Don't cry." Jiang Duan saw his tearful eyes, his fluttering eyelashes paused, and he raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

Looking at Nian Nian's pitiful face, even the most calm person couldn't help but feel pity and offer some tender words of comfort. Unfortunately, Jiang Duan's emotional intelligence was low, and his words of comfort were worrying: "You won't look good in photos if you cry for a while."

It's direct, but effective.

Nian Nian choked, covered her mouth, and forced herself to swallow back her sobs.

Jiang Duan rubbed his tear-soaked eyelids with his fingertips, then turned to the children gathered around him and said, "It's fate that brings us together. If you can't bear to leave Nian Nian, you can take a photo with him as a souvenir."

"Okay, I'll take pictures first." Tan Jiawen ran to her mother to ask for photography equipment.

The others dispersed and turned around to run back to their parents.

The illiterate boy muttered, "Brother Duan, what does this meeting mean?"

"I know, I know." Ji Shuhe raised his hand enthusiastically and answered, "My mother saw someone on TV who said this."

Xi Zimu: "So what does that mean?"

“…I don’t know.” Ji Shuhe scratched his head.

"Tsk." Xi Zimu curled his lips secretly, "What a boaster."

Ji Shuhe blushed at being ridiculed by his friends: "Huh, then Jiang Duan, what do you mean by 'fated to meet each other even though we are thousands of miles apart'?"

Nian Nian's eyes swirled between the three of them, and finally, they locked onto Jiang Duan's face eagerly: "Brother Duan?"

"What this sentence means is that if two people are destined to be together, they will meet one day even if they are far away from each other," said Jiang Duan.

"Oh." Nian Nian pouted and said suddenly, "So that's what you mean."

"Then, Nian Nian and Brother Duan must be destined to be together."

These words touched Jiang Duan's heart. His expression softened slightly and he pinched Nian Nian's face.

"I'm here!" Tan Jiawen, who had just returned, pulled her mother and suddenly stopped in front of Nian Nian. "Mom, mom, please help me take a picture with Nian Nian!"

Jiang Duan and the other three automatically stepped back a few steps to give them enough space to take pictures.

So, in less than five minutes, Nian Nian was like a 5A-level tourist attraction. Most of the Star Class took photos with him, and then they reluctantly dispersed and left.

"Oh." After taking the last photo, Nian Nian rubbed her cheeks that were stiff from smiling and sighed tiredly.

"Are you tired? Drink some water." Jiang Duan handed him the open cup of water.

Nian Nian gulped down half a cup in one breath.

Coincidentally, the Shi and Jiang families, who had been waiting for no one to return, took the initiative to step over to look for the cub. Cheng Huili approached and teased, "Nian Nian is really going to be a big star like your father."

"Yes, so many people want to take photos with him, he is very popular. He is worthy of being a child of our Shi family." Shi Nanqi felt proud.

Nian Nian turned her head away embarrassedly. The wheat ears on her bachelor's cap swayed in the air, occasionally brushing against the tips of his ears and the sides of his face, making him feel itchy.

"So, do you all want to take a photo with Nian Nian?" Nian Nian asked shyly, then leaned over to Jiang Duan's ear and whispered, "Brother Duan, does Nian Nian's outfit look good today?"

Jiang Duan distanced himself slightly from him, scanned the whole thing from top to bottom, and replied seriously, "It looks good. Very cute."

Nian Nian pretended to be calm and hummed, but her cheeks flushed uncontrollably. She turned around and invited, "Brother Duan said that Nian Nian is very cute today. Come and take a photo."

The adults laughed together, responded with cheers, and took hundreds of photos with their cameras and mobile phones, enjoying themselves very much.

Xi Zimu's mother and Ji Shuhe's mother came over to join in the fun, took a few photos, and then left with their children.

Maybe Nian Nian was really adorable today. The photo shoot lasted so long that they completely missed the performance, but no one was tired and stopped.

Therefore, when they left kindergarten that day, they went home full of joy and frame by frame frozen pictures.

Today the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west.

But from the moment she stepped out of the kindergarten threshold and waved goodbye to the security guard, Nian Nian officially graduated from Changying Kindergarten.

The past will never come back.
