Chapter 45
With Zhuangzhuang's enthusiastic recommendation, Xiaozhuang was looking forward to going to the beach and also wanted to visit Zhuangzhuang's house.
Zhuangzhuang’s home is a dreamy manor castle on the sea, and a beautiful palace under the sea. Just looking at the photos, it is as beautiful as described in fairy tales.
No kid can resist a house like this.
"My house is beautiful, why don't you come to my house someday?" Zhuangzhuang suggested with his little pot belly.
The highest level of friendship among children is to invite friends to your home to play, and it was the first time that Zhuangzhuang took the initiative to speak.
"But...is it okay?" Xiao Zhuang was a little flattered.
"Of course!" Zhuangzhuang smiled brightly, holding the candy he had just snatched from Xiaozhuang.
Once the conversation was over, Zhuangzhuang spoke for a long time while Xiaozhuang listened quietly beside him.
Xiao Zhuang picked up a pen to make a plan, but Zhuang Zhuang had been talking for a long time and it seemed like he hadn't touched on any key points. His mind was blank and he didn't know what to prepare for going to the beach.
Zhuangzhuang said he was tired, touched his belly, and then sat on the ground to eat a lollipop. He had forgotten to tell Xiaozhuang what he needed to bring when going out to sea.
Xiao Zhuang scratched the back of his head, his expression somewhat helpless.
Xiaoyu from the next table saw him doing this and came forward to help. When he passed by Zhuangzhuang, his obviously obedient lollipop got stuck in Zhuangzhuang's little fangs.
Zhuangzhuang licked the lollipop with his tongue, grinning, trying to push the candy off, but the candy was too stuck, so he had to pull it hard with his hands. "Puff", a pointed back molar was pulled out along with the lollipop.
Zhuangzhuang looked at the tooth stuck on the lollipop in his hand and only then realized the pain.
"Wow... Zhuangzhuang's tooth fell out..." The little fat boy sat on the ground and cried loudly while holding a lollipop.
When Xiao Zhuang heard Zhuang Zhuang crying, he raised his head. Zhuang Zhuang was sitting opposite him, kicking his legs and crying, refusing to put down the lollipop in his hand.
Xiao Zhuang quickly stood up and walked towards Zhuang Zhuang.
"It hurts, Feifei." He gently touched Zhuangzhuang's head to comfort him.
Zhuangzhuang still kept crying.
"My teeth... wuwuwu~" Zhuangzhuang's face turned red from crying.
Xiao Zhuang quickly took out some chocolate from his schoolbag and gave it to Zhuang Zhuang.
"Zhuangzhuang, don't cry."
Seeing the chocolate in Xiao Zhuang's hand, Zhuang Zhuang wiped his tears and finally laughed, "Thank you, Xiao Zhuang."
At this time, the back molar in Zhuangzhuang's mouth that had just fallen out had grown into a small glutinous rice-like tooth germ, and the tooth would be fully grown in less than half an hour.
After comforting Zhuangzhuang, Xiaojiang returned to his seat, and Xiaoyu looked at his blank notebook.
"Xiao Zhuang, don't you know what to bring?"
"Um."
Xiaoyu took out his notebook and gave it to Xiaojiang for reference. Xiaoyu was very good at hands-on work and his drawing skills were the best in the class. He drew many necessities of life in his notebook. Some of the interstellar high-tech products were so unknown to Xiaojiang, an ancient kid, that he had no idea what they were.
I found a fat black cat drawn on the notebook, and my little stiff finger was pointing at it, "Cat..."
"Well, this is my good friend. I will take it with me tomorrow." Xiaoyu nodded.
"Cat, so cute..." Xiao Zhuang thought of the big fat cat that made trouble yesterday. He really wanted to touch its fluffy appearance.
"If you like, I can let you touch it then~"
"Yeah." Xiao Zhuang stared at Xiao Yu expectantly, "Make a pinky promise."
"Okay, pinky promise." Xiaoyu bent his little finger and pinky promise with Xiaozhuang.
Jiang Chen watched Xiao Zhuang's performance in class through the surveillance camera, and he looked extremely pleased. When he sent Xiao Zhuang to kindergarten, he was worried that he would not be able to adapt, but now he saw that Xiao Zhuang was getting along well with his classmates.
Shu Jinye watched the two children, Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Yu, chatting silently, and quietly closed the comic book in his hand.
The most urgent task is to resolve Xiao Zhuang's prejudice against him. Perhaps he can ask Xiao Zhuang why Jiang Chen is so repulsive to him.
After Xiaoyu left, Xiaozhuang sat alone in the chair, holding a paintbrush and staring blankly.
He casually drew some everyday things, such as toothbrushes, towels, cups...
But he couldn't think of anything else besides these.
Shu Jinye took advantage of the opportunity and moved his chair forward.
"Uncle Xiaozhuang will tell you what you need, okay?"
When Xiao Zhuang noticed Shu Jinye coming over, he quickly covered his notebook with his hands to prevent Shu Jinye from reading it.
"Um...baby, why do you suddenly hate me so much?" Shu Jinye smiled and spoke in an extremely gentle tone.
The little zombie pouted and shook his head, ignoring him.
Normally Shu Jinye doesn't like to waste time on children, but he has infinite enthusiasm and patience for Xiao Zhuang.
Seeing that Xiao Zhuang ignored him, he quickly changed the subject: "We're going to the mall this afternoon. Xiao Zhuang, don't you want to buy something you like?"
Xiao Zhuang held the paintbrush and still didn't respond. Shu Jinye was at a loss as to what to do.
The other college students were helping the kids make plans, but he was left sitting on the bench.
"Xiao Zhuang... why did you ignore me today? Did I do something wrong yesterday? Can you tell me?" Shu Jinye frowned and pleaded.
"If I did something wrong, you must tell me..."
"Especially when I was at your house, why was your father so resistant to me?" Shu Jinye couldn't help but ask a lot of questions at once.
Xiao Zhuang felt uncomfortable when he thought about how sad his father was yesterday. He pouted and lowered his head, his eyes moist.
His memories of his time in Dongqi were no longer clear. Ever since he was locked in the ancient tomb, he had been dependent on his father. He woke up earlier than his father, and for so many years he had been crying and shouting to wake his father up. Every day he opened his eyes in the dark just to wait for his father to wake up.
Those distant memories of the past have long faded with time.
The only person he cared about was his father. He couldn't even remember what his father looked like. His father was unhappy when he was in Dongqi, and now he didn't want to see his father sad.
Shu Jinye looked down and found that Xiao Jiang was lowering his head, with a few drops of water on the back of his white and tender hand. Upon closer inspection, he found that they were Xiao Jiang's tears.
He didn't expect Xiao Zhuang to be such a sensitive child. Why did he suddenly start crying?
"I'm sorry, did I say something wrong last night?" Shu Jinye was very flustered. He didn't know what happened after he left last night, nor did he understand why Xiao Zhuang suddenly started crying.
Xianxian was the first to notice that something was wrong with Xiaojiang. He rushed forward with his big sword in hand and bent down to make sure if Xiaojiang was really crying. He found that Xiaojiang's eyes were red. He immediately pointed at Shu Jinye and complained loudly: "Teacher! Shu Jinye made Xiaojiang cry!"
Teacher Xu was attracted by Xianxian's voice, and when she found that something was wrong with Xiaozhuang, she rushed forward.
"What's wrong with Xiao Zhuang? Tell the teacher if you have anything to say." Teacher Xu held Xiao Zhuang in his arms.
"It's him! It's him who made the little zombie cry." Xianxian accused Shu Jinye.
Shu Jinye was in a state of panic. He didn't understand why Xiaojiang suddenly started crying. "Don't cry, Xiaojiang. It's all my fault..."
Xiao Zhuang buried his head in Teacher Xu's arms, his little body sobbing.
Dad was so sad yesterday. Little Zhuang doesn't want to see him sad...
Teacher Xu and Shu Jinye both heard Xiao Zhuang's inner voice at the same time. Teacher Xu took out a tissue and wiped Xiao Zhuang's tears: "Xiao Zhuang, don't cry. Tell the teacher if you have anything to say, okay?"
"Xiao Zhuang, can you tell me what I did wrong?" Shu Jinye still didn't give up.
At this moment, no matter how hard Shu Jinye tried, he could not hear Xiao Zhuang's inner voice.
Teacher Xu asked him, "Student Shu, what happened yesterday?"
"I...I just visited Mr. Jiang in the evening..." Shu Jinye said hesitantly.
"Did you do something outrageous?"
Shu Jinye raised his hands above his head: "I swear, I didn't."
At this time, other students in the class gathered around to watch the fun, and the gossip-loving kids stared at Shu Jinye more seriously than each other.
This was the first time Shu Jinye felt his whole body crawling with fear because of being stared at by a bunch of cubs.
The rustling sound woke up the sleeping Long Qi Che. He rubbed his eyes and got up from the crib, and saw Xiao Jiang crying in Teacher Xu's arms.
Xiao Jiang is the least visible child in the class. He is introverted and doesn't dare to cry loudly. It's heartbreaking to see him wiping his tears silently.
He was already in a bad mood when he woke up, and seeing Xiao Zhuang's grievance made his face fall even uglier. He asked Shu Jinye in a bad mood, "Shu Jinye, what are you doing? Why is Xiao Zhuang crying?"
Shu Jinye is now in a dilemma. He doesn't know how to explain, nor does he know what he did to offend Jiang Chen to make Xiao Zhuang reject him.
Long Qi Che climbed up from the bed. He was quite depressed at the moment. He could not hear any voices in other people's hearts. He wanted very much to know what was happening in their hearts.
Especially Xiao Zhuang, he couldn't understand what kind of injustice Xiao Zhuang had suffered. "Tell me, what did you do?" he asked seriously again.
"That's right, why is Xiao Zhuang crying?" Zhuang Zhuang still remembered that Xiao Zhuang had just comforted him. He stepped forward and touched Xiao Zhuang's head to comfort him, "Xiao Zhuang, be good...don't cry, don't cry."
Xiao Zhuang lowered his head and wiped his tears silently. He didn't know what to say. He just felt sad when he thought about his father being sad.
Teacher Xu comforted Xiao Jiang. Xiao Jiang was her best student. How could she not feel distressed when she saw him crying so aggrievedly?
"Mr. Shu, if Xiao Zhuang still resists, we'll have to apply for a partner change."
There has never been a situation of changing partners in kindergarten practical classes.
This was a bolt from the blue for Shu Jinye.
At this time, the audience watching the live broadcast on the online forum were in an uproar. They were all wondering if Shu Jinye had said something excessive to Xiao Jiang.
[Even such an obedient baby was made to cry. Is Shu Jinye still a human being? ]
[This is the most well-behaved child I've seen in the past two days. What happened? ]
[…]
Shu Jinye was reluctant to leave Xiao Jiang.
"I will definitely take care of it." He said to Teacher Xu.
"Give me a chance to reflect on my mistakes, okay? I promise I'll never make your father angry again, okay, little zombie?"
Children are easy to coax. As long as you give them their favorite food and toys, they will be coaxed in a short time. But Xiao Zhuang is different. He seems to be calm about everything, but he is sensitive to his family.
Shu Jinye was also a smart man. He knew that he had stepped into the little zombie's minefield.
If this matter is not handled properly, he will never be able to set foot in the Jiang family again.
