Early Monday morning, Xiao Yanbao got out of bed.
She finished her breakfast in one go, then changed into her neatly pressed school uniform and went to school with her brothers.
Most children look forward to weekends off, but Xiao Yanbao looks forward to going to school.
She finally had the opportunity to go to school, and she loved it.
As soon as the little girl entered the classroom, her good friend Jiang Miaomiao skipped over to her side and took her little hand.
Jiang Miaomiao wore two little pigtails like cat ears today, making her look much more lively. She smiled at Xiao Yanbao with her eyes crinkling:
"Yanyan, Miaomiao hasn't seen you for two days, I really miss you!"
Xiao Yanbao also grasped Jiang Miaomiao's hand in return, smiling brightly as she said, "Miaomiao, Yanyan misses you so much too. I even dreamt about you last night!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the two best friends were about to give each other a close hug when they heard someone softly call out to Xiao Yanbao.
"Yanbao!"
"Um?"
Little Yanbao turned his head at the sound and saw a familiar figure in his eyes, wearing the elementary school uniform, slender, handsome and cool.
The little boy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly raised his little hand to wave to the person walking towards him:
"Seventh Brother, aren't you a primary school student now? What brings you to our kindergarten?"
As he spoke, Li Mujun had already stepped in front of Xiao Yanbao. The corners of his lips turned up in a gentle smile, and his eyes were full of doting affection as he looked at his younger sister.
"Because someone put their pencil case in my bag and forgot to take it!"
Li Mujun handed a pink pencil case to Xiao Yanbao.
Because the pencil case is full of stationery, it is quite heavy.
Li Mujun, the older brother, was worried that Xiao Yanbao would find it too heavy to carry, so he put her pencil case in his own schoolbag.
"Oh! Yan Yan forgot."
Little Yanbao responded with a cheerful "yes," quickly reaching out to take her pencil case. With a sweet smile, she said, "Thank you, Seventh Brother, for bringing it over!"
When she smiles, her eyes curve like two little crescent moons, and the two dimples at the corners of her lips are clearly sunken, as if they are filled with sunshine and honey.
Li Mujun's gaze softened, and he unconsciously reached out and rubbed his little dumpling's head.
At the same time, Jiang Miaomiao's gaze kept unconsciously falling on Li Mujun, filled with curiosity.
She had heard Xiao Yanbao mention that she had seven older brothers and one younger brother, but this was the first time Jiang Miaomiao had met Xiao Yanbao's older brothers.
So this is what Xiao Yanbao's older brother looks like!
He's a very handsome young man, like he stepped out of a painting.
"Yan Yan, is this your brother?"
Jiang Miaomiao reached out her little hand and grabbed Xiao Yanbao's clothes, tugged at them gently, and asked as if to confirm.
Little Yanbao turned to look at Jiang Miaomiao and introduced in her childish voice, "He is Yanyan's seventh brother, named Li Mujun. He is also Yanyan's biological brother on the same household registration!"
Upon hearing this, Li Mujun's eyebrows shot up noticeably, unable to conceal her excitement and pride.
That's right! That's right! I'm the only older brother on the same household registration as Xiaoyanbao!
This is also what Li Mujun is most proud of.
Xiao Yanbao turned to look at Li Mujun and enthusiastically introduced her to him: "Seventh Brother, this is Yanyan's best friend, her name is Jiang Miaomiao."
Yanbao's best friend is practically his sister.
Li Mujun smiled gently at Jiang Miaomiao and extended a hand:
"Hello, Miaomiao!"
He looks even more handsome when he smiles, with a radiant and sunny disposition.
Jiang Miaomiao's face flushed, and two blushes rose uncontrollably, like a small apple just beginning to turn red.
She shyly reached out her small hand and gently squeezed Li Mujun's hand, replying in a soft, sweet voice:
"Seventh Brother, you...hello..."
After exchanging greetings, Li Mujun glanced at her watch and said to Xiao Yanbao:
"Yanbao, you can continue playing with your friends! I'm going back to the elementary school now. See you after school!"
"Okay, see you after school!"
The brother and sister waved to each other, and then Li Mujun turned and left.
Xiao Yanbao and Jiang Miaomiao watched the figure disappear completely before turning their attention away.
After two classes, Jiang Miaomiao went to the restroom. When she returned to the classroom, she excitedly told Xiao Yanbao:
"Yan Yan, we have PE class today!"
Upon hearing the words "physical education class," Xiao Yanbao's eyes lit up, and she became very excited:
"Wow! Gym class! This is Yan Yan's first time having a PE class!"
"Because our next class teacher had to take leave, we swapped classes with our PE teacher," Jiang Miaomiao explained with a smile.
Whatever the reason, the children's mood has improved since they started having physical education classes.
The sun shone brightly, a gentle breeze blew, and the azure sky was as clear as if it had been washed clean, without a trace of dust.
During physical education class, every child's face was beaming with a bright smile.
After the physical education teacher led the children through the most basic exercises, he let them have free time.
Immediately, the children, like birds released from their cages, began to play wildly on the playground, laughing and joking, creating a lively scene.
Xiao Yanbao and Jiang Miaomiao also walked hand in hand to the vicinity of the equipment storage area on the back playground, where several new swings had been installed.
The two little girls each took one of the swings and started swinging.
The sound of the wind constantly whistling past my ears was incredibly pleasant.
But along with the sound of the wind, Xiao Yanbao faintly heard a different sound, faint and ethereal, as if it were floating from a very distant place, yet seemingly very close at hand.
His voice was somewhat hoarse, and tinged with sadness.
"Slow down, slow down, slow down... slow down, all of you..."
"Don't fall! Don't fall! Please don't fall!"
"Falling is dangerous, it can kill someone, it can kill someone, it can kill someone..."
Listen carefully, and it's a woman's voice, and it's the voice of an older woman.
His tone was full of worry and panic, making my teeth chatter uncontrollably, as if something terrible was about to happen.
The sound immediately piqued Xiao Yanbao's curiosity, and she couldn't help but turn her little head to look in the direction from which the sound came.
All I could see was a woman who looked to be in her forties standing at the entrance to the equipment storage building. She was frowning as she watched the children running around on the playground, muttering to herself...
She looks like a woman whose mental state is somewhat abnormal.
However, Xiao Yanbao noticed that in the sweltering summer heat, the woman was wearing a black down jacket, an outfit completely out of season.
Xiao Yanbao frowned deeply, a bad feeling creeping over him...
