"Mengmeng, do you really not need Daddy to take you to school?" Mr. Ding looked at his cute and well-behaved daughter, his heart breaking.
My daughter is growing up and becoming rebellious. She doesn't even want her dad to take her to school anymore. Dad is really heartbroken!
Ding Kemeng finished the cheese stick in her hand in one bite, glanced at her aggrieved father beside her, tilted her head in confusion, and said, "Dad, didn't you say yesterday that I'm all grown up and don't need you to take me to and from school anymore?"
"Hmm..." Mr. Ding was defeated by his daughter's seriousness. His daughter was really good in every way, but her mind was just too straightforward. Why was she so serious?
"Alright, honey!" Ding's mother finished making breakfast and couldn't help but smile when she saw Ding's doting father. She said, "Hurry up and eat breakfast, or our daughter will be late for school!"
Ding Kemeng is very sensitive to the word "breakfast". Upon hearing her mother's voice, she immediately stood up from the sofa, ignoring her father, and went straight to the dining table.
"Mom, I want to eat two bowls!" Ding Kemeng said happily to her mother.
"Alright, alright, two bowls, look how impatient you are!" Knowing her daughter's appetite, Ding's mother didn't stop and immediately ladled two bowls of rice porridge for her: "Eat quickly, and then go catch the bus. It's getting late, and today is your first day of high school, so don't be late!"
"Neither of you understands how I, the head of the family, feel?" Mr. Ding said with a mournful face, as he walked to the dining table and sat down.
Ding's mother was too lazy to play along with Ding's father's wicked act, so she handed him breakfast and told him to eat quickly, thus dismissing him.
Although Ding Kemeng looks cute, she has a huge appetite. She finished the two large bowls of porridge in front of her in no time, and also ate two steamed buns, two eggs and a pancake.
After putting her empty plate into the sink, Ding Kemeng smiled, waved goodbye to her parents, and went out with her schoolbag on her back.
Mr. Ding tried one last time to apply to send his daughter to school, but his daughter didn't give him a chance to speak. The door opened and closed, leaving him only with the echo of the door closing.
"Waaaah... My Mengmeng has grown up..." Father Ding began to grieve again.
Ding's mother ignored Ding's neurotic father, quickly finished her breakfast, tidied up, and went to work with her bag.
With two people suddenly gone from the house, Mr. Ding felt even more grief-stricken as he faced the empty house.
Ding Kemeng was lucky enough to catch the bus. The bus wasn't too crowded. After finding a seat, she took out her phone to text Ye Nai, telling her that she was going to school and hoping that Ye Nai could wait for her.
Ye Nai replied very quickly, sending an "OK" message along with a kiss, hug, and lift-up emoji in a flash.
Ding Kemeng looked at the emoji and couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking of Ye Nai's cold face.
The bus was quiet with few people on board when Ding Kemeng's laughter suddenly rang out, attracting curious glances from several boys and girls who were also students and were dozing off.
Ding Kemeng was quite sensitive to people's gazes, and knowing that her sudden laughter in the car had disturbed others, her face flushed instantly. Her hand gripping her phone tightened involuntarily, and she brushed her hair aside to cover half her face, shrinking back as well.
Ding Kemeng doesn't like others paying too much attention to her, especially the gaze of strangers, which makes her very uncomfortable.
Ding Kemeng was extremely nervous, and this nervousness lasted until she got off the bus, after which it gradually subsided.
However, after getting off the bus, Ding Kemeng looked at the magnificent building in front of her and the endless stream of people at the school gate, and once again fell into a state of tension.
Nana said Xiushui High School is a private high school with not many students! Why, why are there so many students blocking the school gate?!
Ding Kemeng suddenly had the urge to run away.
However, Ye Nai quickly spotted her in the crowd and called out to her.
"Mengmeng, over here!"
Ye Nai's voice was extremely penetrating; even from a distance of several hundred meters, Ding Kemeng could still clearly hear Ye Nai calling her.
Ye Nai pushed through the crowd and quickly ran towards Ding Kemeng's direction.
When Ding Kemeng saw Ye Nai, who was 1.7 meters tall, running towards her, she felt inexplicably relaxed.
The hand gripping the backpack straps slowly loosened.
Fortunately, she had Nana by her side!
Ding Kemeng looked at Ye Nai's face and thought happily to herself.
"Nai Nai, good morning!" Ding Kemeng looked up at Ye Nai's face and said sincerely.
"Good morning, my adorable baby!" Ye Nai, with her long legs and quick pace, reached Ding Kemeng's side in just a few steps. She vigorously ruffled Ding Kemeng's hair, picked her up, and took a deep breath as if recharging before continuing, "Ah—you're alive again! During summer vacation at home, I was surrounded by those stinky men, it was blinding! My adorable baby is so much better, smelling so good, and so cute!"
Ding Kemeng was lifted up by Ye Nai for more than a minute before her toes touched the ground.
Ding Kemeng gently patted Ye Nai, then peeked her face out from Ye Nai's embrace and said softly, "Nai Nai, there are so many people here."
"Really?" Ye Nai glanced at the people behind her, smiled indifferently, and continued, "It's okay, it's just the first day of school, so there are just a lot of people."
"Come on, let me show you your class assignment first!"
Xiushui High School has a rule that every time the new semester starts or exams begin, a ranking list of students' grades will be posted on the bulletin board at the school gate.
At the start of each school season, the position of the name on the ranking list also indicates the student's class assignment.
Ding Kemeng didn't care much about such things. She hadn't originally planned to apply to Xiushui High School, a private school with too many children from wealthy families. Although her family wasn't poor, studying with so many children from privileged backgrounds felt strange, like a commoner falling into a royal palace! But Ye Nai pestered her for over a month during the high school entrance exam, insisting that she apply to Xiushui. She had no choice but to agree.
Fortunately, Ding Kemeng's grades weren't bad, and she was more than qualified to get into Xiushui High School!
Ye Nai said she would take her to see the class assignments, so she went to see them.
Ye Nai, relying on her height, strength, and imposing presence, managed to push open a small gap in the crowd blocking the bulletin board and successfully sent Ding Kemeng inside.
Ye Nai hugged Ding Kemeng from behind, lifting the short girl up in one go, and said, "Cute baby, look, which class are you in!"
The students around were already unhappy when Ye Nai pushed them away, and now they saw this shrewish woman holding a little radish high, which only blocked their view even more!
Are they even letting people see the class assignments anymore?!
