Chapter 11 Is this the legendary "child marriage"?
Itaewon Kindergarten is considered an upper-middle-level kindergarten in Seoul, and its graduation ceremony is also quite grand.
Han Lanji lowered her head and changed into her favorite white knitted skirt. In order to keep warm, she put on inconspicuous flesh-colored fleece leggings under the skirt. She braided her thick black hair that had grown long over the past six months into many small braids and then carefully pinned them into an exquisite bun with black hairpins. The occasional strands of fine hair that fell down added a sense of casualness to her hairstyle.
Kwon Young-hwan took out his most expensive suit and used gel to wet his hair in front of the mirror to fix it. When he glanced at his own deep facial features, he smiled with satisfaction, and the deep dimple on his left cheek instantly appeared.
It was clearly their son's kindergarten graduation ceremony, but the two of them acted as if they were attending some important ceremony. One was adjusting her makeup in front of the mirror, while the other was re-doing her hairstyle.
The busy look seemed to have brought them back to the time when they were young and went out on dates. The couple burst out laughing and looked at each other with deep affection.
"Hello, aunt and uncle!" When Quan Yinghuan gently kissed Han Lanji on the mouth, a clear child's voice suddenly sounded.
"Cough cough cough." The two of them pushed each other away in panic. Han Lanji awkwardly smoothed the hair around her ears, and Quan Yinghuan turned sideways and pretended to pull his suit tie.
Because her mother had to close the store and could only arrive later, after being entrusted to the Kwon family, Ye-en has been following her two older brothers and sisters like a little follower. Now she looked at Eun-ni and Zhilong who suddenly squatted down and hid in the corner, wondering, "Eun-ni, Zhilong, what are you doing?"
The brother and sister awkwardly leaned forward and waved at their parents, "Mom and Dad, we didn't peek, we really didn't!"
Quan Duomei nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, I definitely didn't drag my brothers and sisters to peek, Jin Jia!"
The couple felt even more embarrassed. "Didn't I tell you to wait a moment? It will be ready soon."
The three children were also dressed formally. Yeen wore a red New Year suit and a red tiger hat on her head. Her black hair fell softly on her shoulders, making her look as clever and cute as a Chinese New Year doll.
Kwon Da-mi inherited her parents' good looks, and even at the age of eleven, you can tell she's a beauty. With the same hairstyle as Han Lanji, anyone can tell that they are mother and daughter.
Today's protagonist Quan Zhilong wore a black vest over a red shirt. When he heard his parents' questions, he lowered his head uncomfortably and tugged at the small bow tie around his neck, pouting and complaining, "Mom and Dad, hurry up! What if I'm late? I still have a performance today!"
The couple who almost turned their room into a fashion show, looked at the time and immediately frantically grabbed the camera and car keys, "Hurry, hurry, we're really going to be late!"
The blue car rushed out like the wind. Ye-eun, who was sitting in the middle of the back seat, fell onto Kwon Da-mi due to the sudden acceleration.
"Unnie, lower yourself a little."
She pulled Quan Duomei's hand, and Quan Duomei lowered her head in confusion.
Then she was attacked by Ye-eun!
Ye-eun pouted her lips and kissed Domi-unnie on the cheek, making her sister blush. Ye-eun herself giggled, "Ye-eun wants to kiss unnie too."
Han Lanji, who was sitting in the passenger seat, cleared her throat twice, lowered her head, and pressed the camera buttons with her fingers helplessly, and even began to repeatedly change the film.
Kwon Young-hwan sat with his back straight in the driver's seat, as if he heard nothing, but the temperature in his ears gradually rose.
It’s all my fault for my two anxious kids! Duomei, since you peeked, you should bear the consequences yourself.
Ye-eun was so excited that she swung her feet in the air after kissing her sister. She turned around and shouted to Quan Zhilong, "Zhilong, you bow your head too!"
Quan Zhilong moved towards the car window shyly and shook his head to refuse, "No, go kiss Nuna instead."
Yien shook her head in confusion, not understanding the little brother's shyness. She straightened up and wanted to kiss his face. When she was about to kiss his cheek, Quan Zhilong raised his little hand to block her.
She stood up, and Quan Zhilong raised his hand to accurately cover her little face. After repeating this several times, Ye-eun became happier and happier, thinking that Kwon Ji-yong was playing a game with her to see if he could successfully launch a sneak attack.
A four-year-old is never as fast as a seven-year-old, but Ye-eun becomes more and more excited the more she "challenges". Zhilong is really good at "fighting"!
Even when she was in kindergarten, she excitedly pulled the corner of Quan Zhilong's clothes and jumped twice, "Come on, Zhilong, do it again!"
The sight of one trying to kiss and the other trying to block it immediately attracted the attention of other children.
"Ye'en, what are you playing?" A little girl ran towards them with her short legs.
Ye-eun excitedly held her friend's hand, "Ji-ryong is so awesome, I can't even kiss him!"
Quan Zhilong twisted his body twice, and his ears turned red under the watching gazes of his parents and Nuna, "No..." Although he usually admitted in kindergarten that he knew Kung Fu, his parents and Nuna knew that he didn't!
He was about to deny it when he was interrupted by the other children.
"Wow! Is this Zhilong who has learned Kung Fu?" The children seemed to have a natural ability to attract each other. One by one, they shuttled around the adults' legs and gathered in the place where there were the most children.
"That's amazing! I just saw it. He's so fast!"
"Woo woo woo, I want to learn too."
"Oh my god, is he the oppa who fought with Toffee?"
"Can I play too!?"
The older children focused on Quan Zhilong's flexible body and movements, while the younger children were more "admiring" of his ability to fight back and forth with a master named Naitang.
Ye-eun looked at the children who had gathered and sighed. Alas, there is nothing we can do. "Please line up, just like we have to follow the rules when we eat."
She imitated what the teachers usually said and actually calmed the children down. Occasionally, children who bumped into each other and tried to fight for the front row were quickly intimidated by her and the teacher's identical tone and lined up obediently.
"Move back one, don't stand in two rows."
"That's good. Yes, that's what a good child is."
"Majia, everyone is awesome!"
Her babyish words made the parents around her stop and watch with smiles in their eyes. The graduation ceremony hadn’t even started yet, but the “show” had already begun.
“???” When Li Zhen rushed to the kindergarten, what she saw was her daughter queuing up with a bunch of other kids like a “kindergarten bully”.
She moved closer to Han Lanji and covered her face with her bag, "What's going on?"
While her son stood awkwardly aside waiting for the "challenge" from a dozen other kids, Han Lanji was laughing so hard that she could hardly straighten her back. Hearing her friend's question, she shook her shoulders and explained, "Your child, hahaha, she is organizing other children, hahaha, to go and kiss Zhilong haha."
Kwon Young-hwan supported his wife, with a smile in his eyes, "Jilong, this kid kkkk, actually has this day." He raised the camera to take a picture of Zhilong.
Quan Zhilong, who was standing in the center of the crowd, suddenly thought that he and his mother had gone to some TV station to record a program, otherwise why would so many cameras be pointed at him.
He raised his hand and successfully blocked another child's "bobo attack". The embarrassment gradually dissipated due to the children's admiring voices of "Great", "Wow, he is really fast", and he even began to enjoy it a little.
The children were defeated one by one, clenched their fists and shouted "Come on" to the remaining challengers. The childish voices gathered together and echoed over the auditorium, reaching the top and then circulating again. Ye-eun, who was the last one in line, felt the "fighting" from all sides, and her face became serious.
decisive battle!
She put her feet firmly on the ground, clenched her hands into fists and then unclenched them, looking at Quan Zhilong with firm eyes, "I'm coming!"
Quan Zhilong waved his aching arm and nodded seriously without any perfunctory attitude. He looked down at Yien and said, "Come on!"
Moved by the two men's inexplicable fighting spirit, the parents fell silent. Kwon Da-mi even held her breath, and unconsciously gripped her mother's hand tightly. She looked at her brother and then at Ye-eun, not knowing who to cheer for.
Kwon Young-hwan adjusted the focus of the camera. The two children in the picture, one wearing a black and red suit and the other wearing exquisite Chinese-style clothing, were cute and eye-catching.
"1! 2! 3!" Yien silently counted to three for herself in her heart, because she couldn't count any more.
As soon as the number "3" ended, she immediately stood on tiptoe, stretched her whole body straight, and bumped into Quan Zhilong's cheek.
However, the way Quan Zhilong dodged was completely different from the way he dodged other children before. He had dodged in front of Yien many times, but this time he squatted slightly and accurately put his little face in front of Yien.
Ye-eun kissed Kwon Ji-yong's little face with a "mua" and immediately jumped up with joy after success, "Ye-eun succeeded! Ye-eun is the only one who succeeded! I knew Ye-eun is the best!"
"So cool! Ye-eun is even cooler than this oppa!"
"Wow, will Ye-eun knock out other people's teeth in the future?"
When Kwon Ji-yong heard the other children excitedly praising Ye-eun, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Dad said that after graduation he won’t come to kindergarten anymore, so on the last day we have to let other kids know that Ye-en is the best kid, so that no one will bully her!
He put his hands on his hips and smiled at his parents, saying, "See, I'm a good brother!"
Kwon Young-hwan gave a thumbs up, and the camera passed from his hand to Han Lan-ji, and then to Li Zhen.
Li Zhen was silent for a second. Is this the legendary "child marriage"?
Then she laughed, feeling happy because of the innocent happiness of the children, and also impressed by the pun that suddenly came to her mind.
