I fell in love with you at first sight!

"You don't know anything about my personality or what I'm like, so don't talk nonsense."

“I’m not talking nonsense, I like you, that’s all. Will you be my girlfriend?” Tang Zebin’s voice came through the phone line, carrying an undeniable stubbornness.

Fang Yu was a little stunned by his sudden confession. How could this person be so impulsive? "Classmate, you're being too impulsive. Calm down. That's all, I'm going back now."

Fang Yu pulled out the IC card, picked at her nails, and slowly dragged her feet back to the store.

Boys who say this after just meeting are mostly playboys, only interested for a short time. If you ignore them, they'll go after other girls in a while. Don't take them to heart. Fang Yu thought to herself that she had already arrived at the store entrance.

"Fang Yu, did you call back?" Yu Jihong asked as soon as she entered the room.

"Mm." Fang Yu nodded.

"I'll buy you a cell phone!"

"No need. It costs money to answer a phone call, and I don't have anything important to contact anyway."

Yu Jihong smiled at Fang Yu, "It's obvious my daughter hasn't been in a relationship."

"What kind of logic is that? Does buying a phone mean I'm dating? That's scaring me so much I'm afraid to buy a phone now."

Yu Jihong put her arm around Fang Yu's shoulder and said, "Silly girl, what are you so scared of? You've been working for almost two years now. You can date any boy you like, but girls need to protect themselves. You can't have that kind of relationship with any boy yet."

"Yes, I know, I understand."

"Fang Yu, are there any boys pursuing you?" Yu Jihong held Fang Yu's arms with both hands and looked at her. "My daughter is so good. When you were studying in Hangzhou, there were boys pursuing you. Mom said you were still young and rejected them all. Why haven't I heard you mention them since?"

"No, I'm dealing with kids all day at work. When I came back, you saw it, it was at home or in the shop." Fang Yu didn't want to mention Tang Zebin, otherwise she would have to explain the misunderstanding from the afternoon.

"Yes, that's true. You can go out and have some fun if you're free. Just be careful."

A new week began, and Fang Yu received another page from Tang Zebin during her lunch break. Holding the pager, Fang Yu wondered whether she should call him back.

Not long after, Tang Zebin sent another one.

Fang Yu went to the public phone booth outside the kindergarten to return the call.

Just as they stepped out of the kindergarten gate, Tang Zebin's motorcycle was parked in the shade of the corner next to the wall. "Fang Yu!"

"Why are you here?" Fang Yu asked, standing a little distance away from him, holding a pager.

"I came to see you! Are you going to call me back?"

"Um!"

Tang Zebin laughed, "No need to reply, I'm already here."

"Oh!" Fang Yu didn't know what to say, so she just stood there, letting the sun shine on her arms.

"Aren't you afraid of getting sunburned, standing in the sun?" Tang Zebin pointed to the shady spot next to him.

Fang Yu walked over slowly, still without saying a word, and just stood there dumbfounded.

"Get on!" Tang Zebin patted the back seat of the motorcycle and raised his chin.

Fang Yu shook her head.

"Are you just going to stand here like this in front of your kindergarten?"

"Is there something you need?"

"I'm looking for you."

Fang Yu didn't know how to continue asking the question.

"Come on up, I'll take you to a cool place."

Fang Yu shook her head again, "No, the lunch break isn't long."

Tang Zebin raised an eyebrow. "Okay, if you think it's okay for your colleagues to see this here, then I have even less of a problem with it."

Fang Yu stood to the side, pursing her lips and saying nothing.

"Fang Yu, could you be my..." Tang Zebin swallowed the words back. He slapped his forehead in frustration. How could he have been so abrupt, not even preparing a decent gift?

"You stay here, I'll be right back!" Before Tang Zebin finished speaking, the motorcycle turned around with a "whoosh" and disappeared in a flash, leaving Fang Yu standing there in a daze.

After a while, Tang Zebin returned. He had a large bouquet of flowers on the front of his motorcycle, a large plush toy under one handlebar, and a bag containing two bottles of chilled soda under the other.

"These are all for you. Drink some soda first since it's hot." He opened the soda and handed it to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu took the drink; she was indeed a little thirsty from standing. "I can't accept this. We just met; you're being too hasty."

"What's the rush? Do you expect me to ask for your birth date and time and check your ancestors for three generations first?"

"That's not what I meant. We don't know each other well right now, so I can't accept your things."

"You can get to know me slowly, I've had enough," Tang Zebin said, handing the flowers and teddy bear to Fang Yu.

"I don't want it, take it back." Fang Yu backed away.

"I've already bought them, why would I take them back to my workplace? Here, take them, be good, or I'll deliver them to your classroom."

Fang Yu was declining when her pager alarm went off; it was almost time for the children to wake up from their afternoon nap.

If we dawdle any longer, it will be even more embarrassing when the teachers and children come out and see this scene.

"Take it in quickly, I have to go to work, or I can take it to your classroom."

"I didn't agree."

"I didn't expect you to agree right away. I've already bought them for you, so just keep them for now." Tang Zebin stuffed the flowers and the plush bear into her arms. "I'm leaving now, I'm almost late."

Tang Zebin started his motorcycle and drove off in a hurry.

Fang Yu, carrying flowers and a teddy bear, quickly walked into the kindergarten.

The classroom was quiet; the children hadn't gotten up yet. She first put the plush bear in the pink dress into the classroom locker, then placed the bouquet of red roses on the podium; the petals were glistening with dewdrops, looking very beautiful.

As the naptime wake-up music played, the children emerged from the nap room one after another. "Teacher Fang, what beautiful flowers!" a little girl exclaimed excitedly, pointing to the podium.

The other children gathered around to look. "Wow, it's a red flower!" "It smells so good!"

Fang Yu smiled and said, "How about we use these flowers to decorate the classroom this afternoon?"

"Okay!" the children answered in unison, their little faces full of joy.

Fang Yu looked at the roses on the podium and thought of the teddy bear in the locker. A worry crept into her heart: what would she do in the future?

In the afternoon, Fang Yu took the flowers apart and decorated the activity area with the other children. She left the whole bouquet untouched, and felt embarrassed when her parents came over after school.

Flowers are placed in the plant corner, and wrapping paper is placed in the craft area corner, so nothing is wasted.

At the teachers' meeting on Monday afternoon, the principal outlined the main tasks for the upcoming day, including preparations for the Children's Day performance. The teachers whispered among themselves, a murmur of unease escaping their lips.

"This year is a special year. Leaders from the Education Bureau and colleagues from other kindergartens will be coming to observe. The program must be well-rehearsed and we cannot embarrass our kindergarten."

These words completely silenced the previously whispering meeting room. The teachers' expressions grew even more serious, and the pressure instantly intensified.

After the meeting, Fang Yu was on her way home thinking about what program to choose this year. Last year's program was something she came up with on her own, but this year she had to face her superiors and colleagues, so she couldn't be careless.

"Mom, let's eat dinner early. I'm going to the internet cafe to find the programs for Children's Day. This year, teachers from the Education Bureau and other kindergartens will be watching the Children's Day performance."

"Okay, right away, Mom will go make dinner right away." Yu Jihong said as she went to the small kitchen in the back to cook.

After dinner, Fang Yu headed to an internet cafe, though she hadn't been going there much lately.

She never went back to the first place she went to after Thor told her that some thugs wanted to add her.

There was another internet cafe recommended by Thor. It was small but quiet and not far from home. Fang Yu told her mother that she would go straight home after using the internet.
