Chapter 17 Goodbye Mom, I'm going to primary school today
The lively atmosphere became quiet after the other children were picked up one after another.
Ye-eun sat cross-legged on a small mat and opened presents with her mother. Yo-yo, kite, rag doll... every time she opened one, Ye-en would exclaim "wow" with joy. Every little gift made her heart feel as light as if she was stepping on cotton candy. "Ye-en is so happy."
The gifts were put aside one by one, leaving only a red gift box fastened with a black ribbon. She opened the outer packaging with great anticipation, and what came into view was a pair of red Mary Jane leather shoes. The tiny shoes were not even as big as an adult's palm, but they exuded exquisiteness in every way.
"Mom! Zhilong gave me such beautiful little shoes!" Yien's watery eyes lit up when she saw the red diamond straps on the shoes. She hugged the little shoes and kissed them, "Yeen will wear them tomorrow!"
While Ye-eun was overwhelmed with happiness because of the gift, Kwon Ji-yong was still struggling.
"My mother..." Quan Zhilong's eyes were confused, and the chaotic thoughts in his mind spread out like black lines, as if to disrupt his original thoughts, "Isn't there only one 'best'? Can there be many best friends?"
A casual remark from someone else could make him feel conflicted for so long. Han Lanji sighed again, wondering if her son was too easily influenced, or if Yien was too good at talking?
Just as she was about to express her views on this profound issue, the landline at home rang.
“Hey, Ye-eun?”
When he heard his mother calling Ye-eun's name, Kwon Ji-yong leaned back slightly and his ears perked up.
"Yes, do you want to talk to Zhilong? Wait."
Sure enough, he came to find me! Quan Zhilong trotted to the phone, grabbed the depression in the middle of the receiver and listened carefully. The voice coming through the phone was a little distorted, but one could hear Ye-eun's uncontrollable excitement.
The joy seemed to come in through the telephone line and spread to me through the microphone.
"Zhilong, you are so nice to me. This pair of red shoes is so beautiful!" Yien's voice was as sweet as candy. He thought, if the cutest doll in Nu's room could talk, it would definitely have the same voice as Yien.
He took out the candy that he could only eat one a day and put it in his mouth. The sweet smell instantly filled his mouth. It was great that Ye Eun liked the shoes he picked. He said "Yeah" in his heart, but what he said out loud was, "I knew you would like it."
Ye-eun didn't notice the tsundere nature that the other party had begun to take shape. She nodded frantically on the other end of the phone, then remembered that the other party couldn't see her movements at all. "Yes! Ye-eun also wants to give Zhilong a very beautiful gift, but mom said your birthday is in August. But when is August?"
"August is still a long time away, and I still need to eat a lot of candies." Quan Zhilong counted on his fingers but couldn't count clearly.
"Huh?" The little girl on the other side didn't seem to understand why the topic had turned to candy, but she still responded cooperatively, "Okay..."
The two of them fell silent for a moment. Quan Zhilong swallowed the candy in his mouth and suddenly said very seriously: "Ye Eun, I think there can only be one 'best'."
“Huh?” Ye-eun asked in a childish voice, “There can be many!”
The topic was instantly pulled back from birthdays to the topic of "the most".
The clash of ideas between the two children made Han Lanjie laugh. New Year's Day had already passed, and her son was only eight years old at most, while the girl sitting opposite her was only five years old. How could the topic be so profound?
She supported her chin and listened to the children's voices coming out of the microphone from time to time. The smile in her eyes became deeper and deeper. She seemed to be able to imagine that the two children would also seriously discuss other topics in the future.
After hanging up the phone, Quan Zhilong obediently brushed his teeth, washed his face, and went to bed. The quilt was pulled to his chin. He couldn't help but curl his eyes and laughed.
"Why are you grinning like an idiot?" Han Lanji tucked his quilt in. She had to wait for him to fall asleep before going to check on her daughter. "Go to sleep."
Quan Zhilong closed his eyes, but couldn't help but reply: "Mom, I wish it was you who gave birth to Ye Eun."
Then Ye En is his biological sister. When I quarrel with Nu Na, Ye En will definitely stand on my side!
He turned over and hugged the dog doll. The idea in his mind became more and more beautiful, and within a few minutes he fell asleep in a daze.
Han Lanji shook her head helplessly and turned off the lights. In the darkness, Kwon Ji-yong dreamed in a trance that Yi-eun was a child born in his home.
In the dream, the two of them grew up together and were loved since childhood as the little prince and princess of the fairy tale kingdom. Unexpectedly, one day the little princess' favorite red shoes were stolen by a vicious dragon!
He held his crying sister's hand, crossed the mountain, waded through the water, and went to find the hateful dragon with a sword in hand. They were so tired and sweating all the way, but they didn't expect that when they looked up, they saw that the evil dragon had such a beautiful face!
It turned out that she was the one who stole Ye Eun's shoes!
So when the next day, Dominaru slapped his face and told him to get up and play Super Mario, he blurted out, "Nuna, Ye-eun and I will beat you!"
Then I got a big reward.
Quan Zhilong covered his head with his hands while crying, and secretly shouted in his heart, "It is you, the big evil dragon."
Quan Duomei ignored her brother's tears, grabbed him and urged him to wash up. She made his bed and said, "Hurry up, we must complete Mario today!"
In the last few days of the holiday, the Quan siblings finally completed Mario, but Yien received shocking bad news.
"Zhilong doesn't go to school with me anymore!?" Yeen hung on her mother's lap and cried loudly, "Where is Zhilong? Why doesn't Zhilong go to school with me anymore?"
"Where did he go?" Ye-en's tears and snot came out together, like an abandoned child. It was the first time she cried so miserably.
As soon as Li Zhen heard it, she knew that Yi Eun didn't understand what graduation meant at that time. She probably thought it was just everyone getting together to have fun. "Graduation means Zhilong will no longer go to kindergarten. He will go to elementary school."
"When Yien grows up two years later, she will also have to go to elementary school." She hugged her daughter, supported her back and patted her gently.
"Then Ye'en has to go to elementary school too!" After asking how long two years was, Ye'en felt like the sky was falling. It was two more Augusts than August! If I eat one candy a day, I would have to eat a lot of candies to wait until Ye-en goes to elementary school.
Yien held her neck and choked with sobs, salty tears streaming down her cheeks until she swallowed them into her mouth and choked herself, "Mom, please let me go to elementary school, with Zhilong, I want to go find Zhilong, wuwuwu."
Although there are many best friends in kindergarten, Zhilong is still ranked first among the best friends!
That day, Yeen cried so hard in kindergarten for the first time, and her eyes were swollen when she went home. Li Zhen had no choice but to drag her child to Quan's house and found out that her child had also attended classes all day with red eyes.
When Ye-eun trotted to Ji-yong's room wearing her favorite little red shoes, Kwon Da-mi was comforting Kwon Ji-yong, "Oh, I also cried a lot on my first day of elementary school, but I got better soon!"
"Look, I have made so many new friends now, it's so great." Ye Eun's crying voice came from behind. Kwon Duomei was stunned, and the two little kids hugged each other and burst into tears.
"Zhilong, wuwuwu, it's the first day I don't go to school with Zhilong. I miss you!"
"Ye-eun, it's my first day of school with Nu-na. I'm scared!"
The two of them were crying and snotting, and neither of them despised the other.
Just not going to school together makes it feel like a life-and-death separation...
It was like a sudden sitcom was being staged in front of her. When Quan Damei heard her brother's words, she folded her arms and said coldly, "Haha, then you can put Ye Eun in your pocket and go to elementary school."
As if they had pressed a stop button, the two stopped crying instantly and turned to look at Quan Damei, "Ouni/Nuna, is this really okay?"
“???” Quan Duomei made two “Pooh” sounds and waved her hands in panic, “Of course not, really…really not…”
"Ouni/Nuna is so smart, there must be a way!" Kwon Da-mi looked down at the two people who were hugging her legs and wiping their snot and tears on her, her face completely pale, "Okay... I'll teach you."
These two brats, a bad idea formed in Quan Duomei's mind, when they are discovered, just put the blame on the younger brother, Quan Duomei thought.
For the next half month, the three of them gathered together and whispered whenever they had time. The more Quan Duomei talked, the colder she felt. But when the two little ones looked at her with brighter and brighter eyes, she gradually became more confident.
"But, Yien wants to leave a little note for her mother." Yien frowned. Although her mother would not help her go to elementary school, she would definitely be worried if she did this.
She lay down at the desk and drew a small flower on the small card, representing Ye-eun's signature, and on the card, Quan Da-mi helped write:
"Goodbye, Mom. I'm going to elementary school today."
As if someone was feeling guilty, there was a small line below, "Come back after school!"
