Ni Sitian noticed that Tuantuan remained silent and didn't look at Xiao Kui, clearly indicating that she was being difficult and couldn't bring herself to apologize.
Seeing that it was Butler Chen who picked up Hengheng and Xiaokui today, she walked over and said with a smile, "Uncle Chen, how about I take Hengheng and Xiaokui to my house to play for a while, and then take them home after dinner? What do you think?"
Butler Chen naturally knew that Ni Sitian was on good terms with Xiang Zhilan, and that Shen Muzhi was friends with Xu Tingchuan. Hearing her say this, he had no objection and asked the two children if they were willing.
Hengheng was the first to agree. Recently, Xiaokui and Tuantuan's relationship had cooled down, but Hengheng and Tuantuan had become closer.
So, Ni Sitian took her four children home by herself.
Xin Chun and Tuan Tuan are both quiet, unlike Heng Heng and Xiao Kui who are very lively, making the drive quite lively.
However, Ni Sitian observed that even though Xiao Kui and Tuan Tuan were sitting together, Xiao Kui didn't say anything to him. This was a stark contrast to how Xiao Kui had chattered away around Tuan Tuan earlier. Instead, Xiao Kui turned to Heng Heng and spoke to him happily.
When they got home, Ni Sitian divided the children into groups to play games so that they could get along well.
Since all four children were learning arithmetic, they split into two teams and asked each other to solve problems.
To be fair, Tuantuan and Xiaokui will be on one team, and Hengheng and Xinchun will be on the other.
Ni Sitian is the referee.
Hengheng first set the questions, knowing Xiaokui's level, so he set very simple questions like two plus one.
After Xiao Kui finished answering, Tuan Tuan asked a question, Heng Heng immediately answered it, and then Xiao Chun asked a question.
Seeing Xiao Kui deep in thought, Tuan Tuan answered the question herself, and then Xiao Kui asked a question, which Xin Chun answered.
After Xin Chun finished answering, she asked Heng Heng a question herself without waiting for him to answer. After asking the question, she looked at Xiao Kui as if waiting for Xiao Kui to answer.
Xiao Kui pursed her lips, looking quite troubled. She couldn't understand how to add numbers greater than three.
Hengheng winked at her, but she couldn't understand. She looked to her teammate Tuantuan for help.
She had originally thought that Tuantuan would say she was stupid and couldn't even do something so simple, and she was prepared to be ridiculed.
But Tuantuan only answered the question and didn't laugh at her.
She immediately smiled, her lips pursed. She had been avoiding Tuantuan these past few days because she was afraid he would laugh at her. She wanted to wait until she had learned how to talk to him before speaking to him, so that he wouldn't say she didn't understand like he did that day.
So he didn't laugh at her after all. Even if she hadn't learned how to talk to him, she could still do so.
"Tuantuan." Xiaokui moved closer to him, calling out in a soft, affectionate voice.
Ni Sitian smiled, finding Xiao Kui's personality quite endearing. She wondered why Xin Chun had given such a difficult question earlier—adding two tens digits together, something even Tuan Tuan would have struggled with. She had even been staring at Xiao Kui intently, as if waiting for her answer.
Xiao Kui struggles even with the first five plus three, how could she possibly answer?
Perhaps she was overthinking it. Xin Chun was just a child, although she was more sensitive than most children. She wouldn't deliberately want to see Xiao Kui make a fool of herself.
Ni Sitian thought about it and realized that she was somewhat prejudiced against Xiao Chun, which was really not good. So she immediately put the matter aside and said, "I'll go make you some snacks. You two have to be good and play together."
"Okay." The four responded in unison, looking particularly adorable.
As soon as Ni Sitian left, Xiao Kui clung to Tuan Tuan even more, stopped playing math games, and even took out a small peach from her little schoolbag and handed it to Tuan Tuan.
