Yin Zhu couldn't sleep because someone was watching her.
Even though the entire dormitory was so quiet that you could hear the breathing of the child in the next bed, Yin Zhu didn't hear the cleaning worker next to him panting, as if he didn't need to breathe.
So this guy is weird?
Yin Zhu didn't open her eyes. A sense of danger made her furious, but reason told her she couldn't do anything.
Cleaners are a very special case in the faculty and staff handbook, mentioned in only one rule.
[Other Section 9. The kindergarten's cleaner cleans the kindergarten every day and only appears during curfew hours, so you are unlikely to encounter him under normal circumstances.]
If you encounter a cleaner during normal working hours, please report it to the head teacher immediately; she will handle the matter.
The children's bedtime coincides with curfew time.
The cleaning staff had appeared during nap time before, but it happened to be during a meeting of the kindergarten teachers. The meeting ended after the cleaning staff left, so the time was different and no teacher noticed the cleaning staff.
Even if he is discovered during normal working hours, the rules only require the teacher to report the matter to the head of the teaching department.
The last time Yin Zhu was blocked at the door by a cleaner was when he was teased.
Oh right, I teased him before.
Yin Zhu belatedly realized: Could this guy be planning to settle scores later?
When he was a teacher, he would hide in the teachers' dormitory and not go out, so the cleaner couldn't get in either, and could only kick the door in frustration; now that he has become a child, it's like he's delivered himself to the door, and the cleaner is probably just waiting for him to open his eyes so he can use the power of the rules to kill him.
Having figured this out, Yin Zhu pursed her lips and couldn't help but smile.
call--
In an instant, a heavy, deliberate exhale echoed throughout the entire kindergarten.
Upon hearing this voice, Yin Zhu's smile became even more pronounced, with not only the corners of her mouth turning up wildly, but also her closed eyes becoming crescent moons.
His anxiety meant that Yin Zhu had guessed correctly.
The cleaner is bound by the rules. If she wants to harm Yin Zhu, she must first induce her to break the rules and then take advantage of the situation to kill her. Otherwise, if the cleaner actively harms the child, she will also be punished.
The rules did not mention how to deal with the cleaners, but the cleaners are also part of the kindergarten.
Since they are faculty and staff, they must abide by the faculty and staff code of conduct.
Since the cleaner cannot intentionally harm the child, as long as Yin Zhu acts as a "good child," he can only stand by and watch, no matter how angry he is.
"Waaah—"
The sudden headache reminded Yin Zhu that the interpretation of the rule was correct and filled in a part of the kindergarten rules.
Because the pain came on so quickly, Yin Zhu instinctively curled her body into a ball.
However, the cry of pain was far too loud in the nursery, and the cleaner naturally heard it too. But he didn't make a fuss; he simply asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong? Why aren't you asleep?"
"Headache...it will go away in a while."
Yin Zhu hugged the blanket, feeling wronged.
The cleaner was silent for a few seconds, seemingly realizing there was no chance tonight, and finally picked up her things and left.
As the cleaner's footsteps faded into the distance, whispers began to rise from the children's dormitory. The blankets on Yin Zhubei's bed rubbed together incessantly, and a little boy's voice drifted through the air: "How dare you?"
Yin Zhu smiled but did not answer.
Of course she dared to ask the cleaning lady questions, because there was such a rule in the faculty and staff handbook:
[Rest Section 5. If children are tossing and turning in their sleep and unable to fall asleep quickly, you should ask them if they need anything, such as needing to use the toilet, being too hot under the covers, or feeling unwell.]
Yin Zhu fits the description of "feeling unwell" perfectly; even if she doesn't sleep, she's not afraid of the cleaner.
After a somewhat exciting first night, Yin Zhu had basically adapted to her new role as a preschooler and was even more looking forward to skipping class in the mornings. Even though she didn't know what the class meeting on Sunday would be about, Yin Zhu felt it probably wouldn't be anything good.
These toddlers are all adults in disguise, so where did these parents come from to visit their children?
And there wasn't a teacher supervising them; something just didn't feel right. After all, teachers genuinely protect children, but what the parents were really up to was hard to say.
Amidst the chaotic speculation, Yin Zhu drifted in and out of sleep, only to be jolted awake to find that it was already daylight.
"This sleep feels like I haven't slept at all."
Yin Zhu yawned, and seeing the other children getting up one after another, she slowly sat up and started getting dressed.
The room was full of little kids, but they were all able to dress and wash themselves. Even though Yin Zhu had seen it many times, she still found the scene quite spectacular. It was just like the sensible children in many people's dreams—if you ignored the fact that they were all adults with blood on their hands.
Initially, Yin Zhu was worried that she wouldn't be able to take good care of children under five, but later she discovered...
LOL, they don't need adults to take care of them at all.
At breakfast, Yin Zhu was relieved to find that Taozi from Class 2 was still lively and energetic, except for being a little depressed. She then intentionally moved to sit next to Bu Li.
"What will happen in a moment?"
Amidst the sounds of spoons tapping against plastic bowls and chewing food, Yin Zhu's movements went largely unnoticed.
“Those parents are inhuman; they’ll force you to study by checking your grades,” Bu Li replied while chewing. “Although there are many ways to avoid this, we don’t need to waste time on them. We’ll make an excuse to go to the infirmary and meet at the office building.”
