Chapter 102

The brother and sister's laughter was deafening.

"In short, no matter what you say, I will not agree to transfer schools." Xu Yirou sat in the living room, her little feet crossed, confronting her three siblings. "Just give up on that idea, hmph."

Undeterred, Xu Qingyan asked, "Mom, can we hear your reasons?"

"Of course! The reason is simple: if I transfer schools, Yinyin, Xinxin, Qinqin, and Weiwei will miss me! We're good friends, of course we can't be separated."

That's simple.

“Then I’ll contact their parents and have your good friends accompany you to the new kindergarten,” Xu Qingyan added earnestly. “The new kindergarten is better than Little Whale Kindergarten in every way, and I believe their parents will agree.”

Xu Yirou's eyes widened, and she immediately objected: "Dabao, that won't do!"

"Yinyin's family lives near the kindergarten, and Xinxin and Qinqin's parents work right next to the kindergarten gate!"

Xu Qingyan patted her mother's head: "Mom, these are not problems, I will handle them."

Xu Yirou: "What do you want?"

“Buy an apartment for Yinyin’s family next to the new kindergarten. The new kindergarten is not far from Senming. If Xinxin and Qinqin’s parents are willing, they can work at Senming.”

After a slight pause, Xu Qingyan explained, "Mom, don't worry, I won't force them. If they don't want to change companies, we can have them move their company to the vicinity of the new kindergarten."

Since both sides own properties, we can simply waive the rent for their company.

I believe no one would refuse an office building in the Second Ring Road.

He Nianzhu: ? Bro, you're being way too extravagant!

Xu Niancheng: There's a reason why the domineering CEO trope has remained popular for so long.

Xu Yirou was indignant and drew a big X with her chubby little hand: "Dabao, you can't be so domineering. Not all problems can be solved with money!"

"Yinyin loves her home very much, she won't accept your new house. Xinxin and Qinqin's parents also love their jobs. How can you make them change jobs for me? That's not fair!"

"Dabao, you've disappointed Mommy so much."

Xu Qingyan's eyes twitched, and he rubbed his forehead, silently thinking, "Mom is still young."

The mother of the four-year-old won the first school transfer negotiation.

The temporary victory did not make Xu Yirou lower her guard. She was sullen for the first few days after returning to kindergarten, often frowning and sighing, muttering to herself.

The cubs invited her to play her favorite game of jump rope, but she showed little interest.

Xu Yirou's unusual behavior quickly attracted the attention of her neighbors, with Yinyin and Xinxin offering their concern.

"Meatball, are you unhappy?"

"Children shouldn't sigh too much, it will make them age faster."

Xu Yirou rested her chin on her hand, her large, watery eyes filled with distress: "Yinyin, Xinxin, I might have to transfer schools."

Yinyin and Xinxin were terrified when they heard this, and each of them hurriedly grabbed her, saying, "Rou Rou, don't go! If you leave, we won't be able to play together anymore."

Yinyin's eyelashes trembled: "Rou Rou, why did you transfer schools?"

"Sigh, this is a long story." Xu Yirou frowned and shook her head, patting the backs of the two cubs' hands with a sincere expression. "But don't worry, I will never let Da Bao insult you with small change."

The abrupt and incoherent words left Yin Yin and Xin Xin completely bewildered.

Xin Xin tilted her head, thought for a few seconds, and then the confusion in her eyes was immediately replaced by shock:

"Meatball, do you have a new friend and are you getting tired of me and Yinyin anymore?

Isn't that just falling in love with someone else?

Whether it's true or not, little Yin Yin has already pouted, ready to pout at any moment.

Xu Yirou could understand simple idioms, and she hurriedly waved her hand to explain:

"Oh no, I swear, I haven't been fickle. You're the only ones in my heart and my eyes. You're my best friends!"

She's not a fickle, heartless jerk! QAQ

As if things weren't going to go wrong, a heartbroken and aggrieved question rang out from behind, followed by a second and a third.

"Grandma, what about me?"

"Rou Rou, what about me?"

"Meatballs..."

When Xu Yirou turned around, Bubble, Xu Cheye, and Xia Xiaoshan were all lined up in a neat row, looking at her simultaneously.

The resentment and sorrow in his eyes conveyed a thousand unspoken words, truly startling Xu Yirou.

Every time it's the last free activity period, Bubble will run to find Xu Yirou to play as fast as she can. It's not for any other reason than that she's happy and content to see her little grandma!

Who knew that when I came to visit my great-grandmother today, I would hear her say that her 'best' friends are Yin Yin and Xin Xin.

A cub's heart quietly shattered at that moment.

Xu Cheye and Xia Xiaoshan, who arrived one after the other, also heard the same words, and the two kids were no less upset than Paopao.

Xu Cheye pitifully covered his chest.

When Bubble saw his posture, she felt that the other person was more seriously injured than herself, and she inexplicably felt much more at ease.

"Bubble, Cheche, Xiaoshan, what brings you here?" Xu Yirou smiled sheepishly, awkwardly changing the subject. "What a coincidence! Did you come to visit me?"

Bubble puffed out her cheeks and walked over step by step, holding her breath.

"Meatball, I heard what you just said. Although I don't want to be angry with you, I want you to comfort me."

Hurry up and comfort me, or it won't be right if you don't.

Bubble, with a touch of arrogance and shyness, said, "I'm an easy kid to please."

Xu Yirou's eyes crinkled into crescents as she took Paopao's hand, pouted, and gave her a quick kiss: "Paopao, you're my absolute favorite granddaughter~"

After repeatedly emphasizing the words "most" and "little granddaughter," Bubble suddenly understood.

Yes, she's the granddaughter, someone who can openly and legitimately claim all the meat, unlike them~

Then, Xu Yirou gave her another sweet kiss, and all the deep-seated hatred vanished without a trace. Coupled with those sweet words, Bubble was as intoxicated as a little bee wandering in a honey pot.

She's back to being that cheerful girl again.

"And me too, Rou Rou." Not wanting to be left out, Xu Cheye came out to make his presence known.

Xu Yirou was stunned for a moment, then blurted out before she could think: "I never said you were my best friend."

There was no need for her to explain further.

Xu Cheye's pupils dilated slightly, his small body trembled, and he looked as if he was about to faint from a great shock.

His eyes were filled with hurt: "Rou Rou, what am I then?"

"You...you..."

Xu Yirou bit her finger and weakly told the truth: "You even got my name wrong. You're such a scatterbrain."

The onlookers burst into laughter, clutching their bellies and letting out loud, booming laughs.

Xu Cheye: ...

Bubble exclaimed directly in her face, "Hahaha, serves you right for pretending to be pitiful, you little fool."

It must be because his acting skills weren't good enough. Xu Cheye calmly withdrew his pitiful expression and decided to take some time to improve.

"Meatball, Bubble, do you want to come over to my house this weekend?"

"My cat, Nai Dong, can do backflips and sweeping kicks, and she can scale walls and roofs. She's very skilled in martial arts, and she loves playing with kids. She'll be so happy if you can come."

Xu Cheye, a grown woman, invited children to her home for the first time, surprising all the little ones.

"Wow, is your little milk pudding a martial arts master?" Xu Yirou's interest was piqued. "Is it a brother or a sister?"

Xu Cheye smiled mysteriously, his dark eyes bright: "I'll keep you in suspense for now, you'll find out later."

"Tch, what a man's little tricks," Bubble chuckled, dismissing the idea. "I bet the milk jelly is his pet cat."

It's not surprising at all.

Xu Yirou's eyes lit up: "Wow~~"

"His cat can do backflips and sweeping kicks, that's amazing."

It feels even more amazing now!

Bubble choked: "What's so great about that? Even cats can do that!"

Those are the specialties of the cats in the martial arts world; they perform one trick for every dried fish.

Xu Cheye: "Bubble, you guessed wrong, it's not Cat."

"What's that? A dog?" Before he could answer, Bubble rejected the idea herself, "No, dogs can't climb walls."

What exactly was that? A bat?

No, no, no, that's terrifying!

Seeing the little girl scratching her head and looking startled, Xu Cheye's eyes filled with a kind smile that seemed out of place for her age.

He parted his lips slightly, just about to say something, when Xu Yirou suddenly cried out "Aiyo!" a few times.

Xu Cheye thought the little girl was unwell, so he took a step forward and had his shoulders pressed down by a pair of small hands, who then shook her vigorously.

"Cheche, why are you accusing me?"

Xu Yirou looked tiny and seemingly harmless, just like her soft, white, chubby body. But in reality, every bit of her flesh was real.

Xu Cheye's small body swayed from side to side as she shook him, like a roadside weed swaying in the wind, weak, helpless and pitiful.

"Wh-what?"

"Oh dear, you're still pretending."

"It's about Erbao and Xiaobao taking a break from school. I didn't tell you anything about it." Xu Yirou's sweet, childlike voice suddenly appeared, then suddenly became aggressive as she questioned, "Why did you tell Xiaobao that I told you? What are you trying to do?"

What? Such a thing exists?

Bubble instantly felt indignant and rolled up its sleeves, saying, "You naughty little figurine, you're so mean! I'm going to spank you!"

!!

Xu Cheye's forehead twitched violently: "Stop!"

He then quickly ran to within a meter of Xu Yirou and Paopao: "Listen to my explanation, things are not as you imagine."

"What kind is it?"

"Grandma, I know what he's up to!"

Bubble, suddenly enlightened, blurted out, "You naughty little figurine, you must have your eye on Aunt Xiaobao. You want to steal Aunt Xiaobao away to be your aunt, so you ruthlessly sow discord between Rou Rou and Aunt Xiaobao!"

"I've seen these kinds of tricks from you men countless times."

Is this how you use the word "ruthless"?

Xu Cheye was completely bewildered. The little girl's ability to fill in the blanks was simply outrageous. She was only five years old. Where had she been exposed to so much nonsense?

The little figure on Xu Cheye's head had his hands behind his back, puffed out his beard, and glared.

"Speechless now, huh?" Bubble said smugly, hands on her hips. "You'd better apologize to my little grandma right now, or I'll spank you!"

Because she accidentally witnessed Xu Yirou scare the disobedient He Nianzhu by spanking him, and the effect was amazing, Paopao silently kept it in mind.

I'll take it out and use it today.

This successfully left Xu Cheye speechless; it was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had been threatened with a spanking.

The other party is his granddaughter!

Xu Cheye was both amused and exasperated.

Silence is tantamount to consent. Xu Yirou found it hard to believe that her best friend wanted to "steal her boyfriend," but the kind-hearted girl chose to forgive her. After hesitating for a few seconds, she said softly:

"Cheche, since you like Xiaobao so much, why don't you recognize me as your little grandma?"

"That means Xiaobao is your aunt too."

She took two quick steps forward, her entire being radiating kindness and understanding.

"You don't need to rack your brains trying to sow discord between me and Xiaobao. If you're happy, I'm happy, and Xiaobao is happy, then the three of us living a good life is better than anything else."

Xu Cheye's head exploded.

……ah?

"Waaaaah, Grandma, you're so kind."

"No, not really. Actually, if I were Cheche, I would like Xiaobao too. After all, Xiaobao is so radiant, it's hard not to be attracted to her. So I'll just forgive Cheche this once."

The five-year-old granddaughter and the four-year-old grandmother are all lovey-dovey.

The five-year-old grandfather, ignored by everyone, remained silent with a blank expression.

"..."

I'm not playing anymore.

"Rou Rou, I have something to tell you."
