Chapter 51 Chapter 51



Xu Cheng didn't know that Zhou Jiayan was secretly worried about him. He just thought that Zhou Jiayan's look was one of emotion.

He thought Zhou Jiayan was easy to please, so he said a few nice words and moved him to this extent.

Thinking of this, he didn't feel that he had lost any biscuits, so he took out the biscuits from his schoolbag and placed them on Zhou Jiayan's desk, saying coolly, "Here are the biscuits for you. This is a snack for you to exchange. Don't refuse. After all, I'm not someone who will accept favors from others easily."

After saying that, he returned to his seat and sat down.

Looking at the small cookies on the table, Zhou Jiayan was not too surprised. After all, he was so popular here. He thought it was normal for Xu Cheng to bring him small cookies.

He also took the biscuits and put them into his schoolbag. He certainly couldn't finish so many snacks, but his mother seemed to like snacks, so he might as well take them back for her.

And he dropped his mother's spicy strips yesterday, just as compensation.

Because of the exchange of snacks, the relationship between the two children was broken. In the afternoon game session, Xu Cheng even took the initiative to invite Zhou Jiayan to play hide-and-seek with him.

Thinking about how she had been playing cat's tangle with the little girls during this period of time, Zhou Jiayan nodded modestly to show her agreement. After all, hide-and-seek was always much more interesting than cat's tangle.

So about ten children aged five or six began to play hide-and-seek together, and the entire kindergarten became their activity area.

The "ghost" among them was decided by drawing lots. Unfortunately, the first person to draw the "ghost" was Zhou Jiayan.

Xu Cheng was afraid that Zhou Jiayan would think he was deliberately making trouble for him, so he immediately denied it by saying, "I didn't tamper with the drawing of lots."

Zhou Jiayan was speechless. Was he such a stingy person in Xu Cheng's heart?

Besides, he has eyes and a brain, so he can tell whether Xu Cheng had done anything wrong.

So he waved his hand and said, "I know you didn't do anything wrong. Let's get started. You only have two minutes to hide. I'll count to 120 and then I'll come to you."

As soon as Zhou Jiayan said this, the children around him dispersed and began to look for places to hide.

Zhou Jiayan stayed where he was, covered his eyes with his hands properly, and began to count. After counting from 1 to 120, he set out to look for someone.

The kindergarten is neither big nor small, but there isn't much space to hide people.

First of all, he ruled out the teacher's office. Those little boys were extremely afraid of the teacher and there was absolutely no way they would have the courage to hide in the teacher's office.

As for other classes' classrooms, they were also ruled out. There were still teachers watching in the classrooms, so they definitely didn't dare to hide in there.

As for the playground, except for a few seesaws and slides that can hide people, the rest of the place is too empty to hide people.

So he went to the toy area first, and then saw two little boys lying at the bottom of the slide. He quickly pulled them out, and then began to look for other children.

Children's minds are not complicated. He soon found those children behind the curtains, in the cabinets, and under the tables. The only one who hid boldly was Xu Cheng, who actually ran to hide in a cabinet in a utility room. There was a lot of dust in there, and there was no light.

It took Zhou Jiayan only twenty minutes to find all the children, and a lot of that time was wasted on the way. After all, running around the entire kindergarten was quite tiring.

Xu Cheng opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Did you secretly open your eyes and look?"

Zhou Jiayan rolled his eyes in response, "Xu Cheng, do you need me to peek at the locations where you're hiding? Aren't they easy to guess?"

Xu Cheng was shocked. How come he didn’t know those places were easy to guess?

But he was not one to give up easily. He said to Zhou Jiayan, "Humph! Then I'll see where you can hide in an unexpected place later."

Then the children drew lots again, and this time it was Xu Cheng who drew the "ghost".

So this time it was Xu Cheng's turn to close his eyes and wait to count. Before he closed his eyes, he clenched his fist towards Zhou Jiayan, indicating that he would definitely catch him.

After confirming that Xu Cheng had closed his eyes obediently, Zhou Jiayan began to look for his hiding place.

Xu Cheng just said that, he will definitely come to catch him.

He stood in the corridor of the kindergarten, his little head starting to think frantically. What place was so difficult for Xu Cheng to find?

He turned his little head around and looked around the entire kindergarten, and it seemed that nothing was going well.

About a minute later, Zhou Jiayan still hadn't figured out a suitable hiding place for himself, so the live broadcast showed Zhou Jiayan standing still in the corridor for a minute.

[What happened to Yanyan? Why is he standing there without moving? ]

[Could it be that he just gave up? ]

[How could he give up? Is Yanyan that kind of person? He must be thinking.]

[But time is running out now, will Yanyan make a mistake? ]

Just when everyone was puzzled, they saw Zhou Jiayan, who was standing in the corridor, finally move. Then everyone watched him run quickly and rushed to the door of the utility room where Xu Cheng had been before.

[Oh my god, why did Yanyan go to the place where Xu Cheng hid? Wouldn't she be found in a minute? ]

[Yes, this is simply giving away one’s life. ]

[No, have you ever heard that the most dangerous place is the safest place? I think Yanyan is right, this is Xu Cheng's blind spot.]

Zhou Jiayan pushed open the door of the utility room, and a cloud of dust rushed over. But before entering, he said to the photographer who was following him, "Uncle, don't follow me in. If you stay here, Xu Cheng will know where I am at a glance. You can go somewhere else or walk around."

The photographer wanted to refuse. After all, their production team had stipulated that they could not leave the guests. However, the child in front of him was a five-year-old who was completely absorbed in the game, so he could only coax him in a gentle manner.

However, to his surprise, after Zhou Jiayan said that, he went straight into the grocery room, closed the door, and isolated the photographer outside.

Photographer: ...This kid has learned to act first and ask for permission later!

The photographer touched his nose and since it was already like this, he took the camera, went downstairs, found a room and planned to rest for a while.

Don't say, the kids nowadays are really energetic, it's really tiring. It's just right for him to take this opportunity to lie down and rest for a while.

[Fuck, what’s wrong with you, photographer? How can you really leave! ]

[How shameless! Can you take a photo of Yanyan playing hide-and-seek for us? ]

[I'm going to complain to Xu Gou about you being away from your post! ]

[Everyone, please stop criticizing me. If he were here, wouldn't that be telling everyone that Yanyan is here? ]

[Although Yanyan has a good temper, it can be seen that he actually has a strong desire to win, so everyone should be patient. ]

After confirming that the photographer had left, Zhou Jiayan turned around and looked at the room. The room was not big, but there were a lot of miscellaneous items scattered around, and there were even cobwebs in some places. At the same time, because the door was closed and the lights were not on, the whole room was plunged into darkness, and only vague outlines could be seen.

When Zhou Jiayan went to see Xu Cheng before, he came in accompanied by a photographer, and the door was not closed, so it was not as dark as it is now.

However, Zhou Jiayan has always been brave, so he is not very scared. Moreover, he thinks that since Xu Chengdu dares to hide in here, how could he be afraid?

He encouraged himself in his heart, then carefully pushed open the cabinet door and hid inside.

But it was not as easy as Zhou Jiayan had expected. After hiding in the closet, he soon felt a suffocating pressure. He felt as if he couldn't breathe.

It seemed as if he had been locked in a cupboard like this before, unable to breathe, with the air filled with the smell of...

Zhou Jiayan, who had always been in good health, began to tremble instantly. He wanted to control himself, but the feeling came too sudden and violently. Before he could even push open the cabinet door, he completely lost consciousness.

At the same time, Xu Cheng finally finished counting and started to catch his friends.

Of course, the one he wanted to catch the most was Zhou Jiayan. He had to prove to Zhou Jiayan that he was not weak either!

Because he was very familiar with the terrain of the kindergarten and his classmates' routines, Xu Cheng found most of his classmates.

After that, he began to look for little Zhou Jiayan.

He remembered that there was always a middle-aged man in black clothes following Zhou Jiayan. Zhou Jiayan was small and easy to hide, but it was not easy to hide that 1.8-meter-tall middle-aged man!

Thinking of this, Xu Cheng gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.

Humph, Zhou Jiayan probably didn't expect that he would think of starting from another place.

So Xu Cheng began to look for the uncle in black clothes everywhere. Soon, he found the uncle in black clothes lying on the sofa in a secluded room.

He was shocked. He didn't expect to find them so easily.

Should we say that Zhou Jiayan is too stupid or too confident?

However, Xu Cheng soon felt that it was not that Zhou Jiayan was not smart but that he was too smart. He could come up with such a good idea!

After he entered the room, he did not directly wake up the photographer who was still sleeping, but started looking around the room. However, to his surprise, he did not see any trace of Zhou Jiayan.

He was a little shocked, so he reached out and pushed his uncle who was still sleeping to wake him up, and asked with wide eyes, "Uncle, where did you hide Zhou Jiayan? Why is he nowhere to be found?"

The photographer was sleeping soundly and was suddenly woken up by this push. He was a little surprised when he saw Xu Cheng. It seemed that Zhou Jiayan was right again. This kid really used him as a breakthrough to find him.

He shrugged and said to Xu Cheng, who looked confused, "Little friend, Zhou Jiayan had expected that you would soon find me if I was there, so he drove me away. As for where he is, you have to find him by yourself."

Hearing the photographer's words, Xu Cheng stamped his feet angrily, "Zhou Jiayan is so abominable. How could he have predicted this in advance?"

Seeing Xu Cheng’s “angry” action, the audience in the live broadcast room all laughed.

[Hahaha, as expected, Xu Cheng can never escape from Yanyan's Five Finger Mountain.]

[Yanyan: I predicted your prediction! ]

[I think Xu Cheng is very smart too. You have to know that they are only five years old.]

[Yes, it is great that you can think of finding Yanyan through a photographer, but Yanyan is always more capable than the devil. ]

After being sulky for a few minutes, Xu Cheng started his journey to find Zhou Jiayan again.

He is a naughty child, but very tenacious and will not give up easily, especially to someone like Zhou Jiayan whom he seriously regards as an opponent.

However, they searched until it was almost time to go home from school but still hadn't found Zhou Jiayan.

He also passed by the grocery room where he had hidden before several times, but missed it every time because he thought that this was where he had hidden before. A smart kid like Zhou Jiayan would definitely not hide in a place he knew.

Xu Cheng, who was full of confidence before, now lowered his head, a little discouraged. He said to his "subordinates", "Woo woo woo, I may really not be able to beat Zhou Jiayan."

[Hahaha, Xu Cheng, don't cry. Yanyan is just too smart. It's okay.]

[I really want to rush into the screen to remind him that Yanyan is in the most unlikely place you think.]

[There are probably not many kids in this world who are smarter than Yanyan, so don't be discouraged. ]

[Hahaha, I don’t think I can beat Yanyan. ]

Today Zhou Yexuan went to work at Zhou's, so Shen Qingqing was the only one who came to pick up the child from school.

She arrived at the kindergarten gate on time, but did not see the little figure who usually rushed out of the school and ran towards her as soon as school was over.

What happened to Yanyan?

Of course, Shen Qingqing didn't think of anything bad at this time. She just thought that Zhou Jiayan might have been tripped up by something and didn't come out on time.

However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, Shen Qingqing still did not see the little figure. She could no longer stand there and walked straight into the kindergarten.

Yanyan is not the kind of child who is unpunctual. He always knows what is important and if he is really stuck with something, he will definitely call her to inform her.

Now that he hasn't come out for such a long time, something must have happened.

Soon she saw Teacher Chen and asked anxiously, "Teacher, do you know where Yanyan is? I waited outside for a long time today and he didn't come out. He used to be the first one to rush out."

Teacher Chen was a little surprised that Shen Qingqing showed up in such a hurry, but it was only less than 20 minutes, and as long as she didn't leave the kindergarten, nothing serious would happen, so she comforted her, "Yanyan's mother, don't worry, it's playtime in the afternoon, maybe she forgot the time while playing."

Shen Qingqing also knew that there was not much time left, and being so anxious might seem like an exaggeration to others, so she tried to remain calm and continued to ask the teacher, "Teacher, do you know who Yanyan played with this afternoon?"

Teacher Chen could understand Shen Qingqing's anxiety as a parent, so he didn't say anything more and directly called Xu Cheng and others over.

Xu Cheng was still immersed in the search for Zhou Jiayan. He was a little unhappy when the teacher called him into the office. However, after seeing Shen Qingqing, he still answered honestly, "Auntie, we played hide-and-seek together this afternoon. You don't know how good Yanyan is at hiding. My men and I have been looking for him for almost an hour but couldn't find him. But don't worry, I will definitely find him. I won't lose to him!"

After hearing what Xu Cheng said, Teacher Chen felt relieved. She smiled at Shen Qingqing and said, "Yanyan's mother, you heard it. Yanyan and the others were playing hide-and-seek. They probably hid somewhere and forgot the time. Don't worry, let's look for them together."

However, Shen Qingqing did not relax much after hearing this, because in her opinion Zhou Jiayan would not ignore school just because of winning or losing the game, especially since he knew that she was there to pick him up.

Of course, she couldn't tell Xu Cheng these speculations directly. She just lowered her head and said to the child, "Xu Cheng, tell auntie where you have searched before? Auntie will look with you."

Xu Cheng wanted to say that this was a war between little men, but seeing Shen Qingqing's serious expression, he nodded and said, "Okay, Auntie, come with me."

They started looking together, but Shen Qingqing was not familiar with the structure of the kindergarten, and after more than ten minutes they still couldn't find it.

She was a little anxious, but she forced herself to calm down and began to frantically think about what would be the simplest way, to adjust the surveillance?

Soon she thought of the production crew. Yes, hadn't the production crew's photographer been following Yanyan before? He must know where Yanyan is!

He didn't tell Xu Cheng, but he definitely knew it.

At this time, the photographer finally woke up and came out of the lounge. He looked at Shen Qingqing, who was anxious, with a shocked look on his face. "Teacher Shen, why are you here? Are you so anxious?"

Shen Qingqing didn't beat around the bush and explained immediately, "It's been more than half an hour since school ended, and Yanyan hasn't shown up yet. Teacher, do you know where he is?"

Seeing Shen Qingqing so anxious, the photographer hurriedly comforted her, "Teacher Shen, don't worry, I know where Yanyan is. I thought they hadn't finished the game yet, so I wanted to wait for them to play for a while, so she didn't come out."

After Shen Qingqing heard the cameraman's words, she felt relieved. "Teacher, please take me to find Yanyan. I won't feel at ease if I don't see him."

The cameraman nodded immediately and said, "Of course, please follow me."

The audience in the live broadcast room could see clearly Shen Qingqing's anxiety.

[This seems to be the first time I've seen Shen Qingqing so anxious. ]

[Yes, she was really anxious. This kind of anxiety can't be faked.]

[Shen Qingqing's words reminded me of the time when I was in a shopping mall and found that my daughter had suddenly disappeared. I was really scared at that time.]

Afterwards, Shen Qingqing followed the cameraman to the door of the utility room.

Xu Cheng naturally followed, and when he saw it, he opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Zhou Jiayan is hiding here, he is so cunning!"

Now Shen Qingqing didn't have time to help Zhou Jiayan brag about his wit in front of the kids. She simply pushed open the door of the utility room. The dim room was immediately illuminated by the sunlight, and everyone saw the dilapidated state of the utility room.

The room was quiet, without any sound. Shen Qingqing looked around for Zhou Jiayan's hiding place.

At this time, Xu Cheng's voice sounded again, "Auntie, that cabinet is the best place to hide people. Zhou Jiayan should be hiding in there too."

When Shen Qingqing heard Xu Cheng's words, she immediately walked towards the cabinet. Then she quickly opened the cabinet door and saw a small figure curled up in the corner, with his eyes closed and shivering.

Shen Qingqing's heart was startled for a moment, and then it felt as if a hand was grabbing her heart.

She reached out her hand and carefully took the child out from the corner, and comforted him softly, "Yanyan, be good, don't be afraid, mommy is here."

Then she reached out and touched the child's nose and cheeks, and confirmed that the child was still breathing normally, and then she felt relieved.

It’s just that the child’s body temperature was a little high and his face was red, so it was obvious that he had a fever.

At this time, everyone also saw the child in Shen Qingqing's arms and was shocked. Weren't they playing hide-and-seek? Zhou Jiayan was healthy and energetic before he came in, but now he has become like this?

[Why did Yanyan suddenly fall ill? ]

[Is there some kind of bacteria in this room? Yanyan is allergic to it. ]

[I think it's possible too. This house is too dirty. Yanyan's previous living environment was not like this.]

[Wow, wow, the baby is so pitiful, his face is so red, luckily Shen Qingqing came to find the baby, if she was a little later, I don’t know what kind of suffering he would have suffered. ]

[Hurry up and send her to the hospital. This is the first time I see Yanyan blushing like this. ]

Teacher Chen and the people from the program crew started to panic, after all, it was they who caused the child to become like this.

Moreover, according to regulations, the program crew's photographer is required to follow the guests all the time. Although the photographer only left for a short while because the children were playing games, such a big thing happened during this period.

Teacher Chen first said, "The school has a school doctor. I'll ask him to take a look now."

The cameraman of the program no longer cared about recording the program and nodded, "Why don't we just send him to the hospital? The child is too young, so a full physical examination is a good idea."

Shen Qingqing felt distressed when she saw the rosy-cheeked child in her arms.

But she also knew that the most important thing now was to calm down and deal with the problem. With the child in this state, she naturally felt uneasy about just having the school doctor check, so it would be better to go directly to the hospital.

While patting Zhou Jiayan's back, she said to Teacher Chen and the staff of the program, "Please help me call 120 for emergency assistance. Thank you."

So the program team started dialing 120 to contact an ambulance, while Shen Qingqing continued to comfort the child in her arms.

Zhou Jiayan had been in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness. He felt very uncomfortable. He felt hot and cold all over, and it was as if he was drowning and he had difficulty breathing.

Until suddenly, he was hugged by a pair of gentle hands, and then he entered a warm embrace, soft, quiet and with the fragrance of jasmine, just like his mother's embrace in his dream.

He felt that his whole body seemed to be feeling much better. Then he opened his eyes drowsily and saw Shen Qingqing's anxious face.

He seems to have made his mother worried...

Thinking of this, he tried to make a sound to tell his mother that he was fine, but he still had no strength. After a long time, he uttered a sound as soft as a mosquito, "Mom..."

Although the voice was soft, Shen Qingqing, who had been paying attention to Zhou Jiayan, heard it immediately. She immediately asked, "Yanyan, are you awake? Can you see your mother?"

Zhou Jiayan also heard Shen Qingqing's worried voice. He didn't want Shen Qingqing to worry so much, so he continued to struggle and said, "Yanyan...it's okay..., Mom...don't...worry."

[Wow, Yanyan is so sensible. She is still comforting her mother at this time.]

[I declare that Yanyan is the most sensible child in the world. God must bless Yanyan and make sure nothing happens to her.]

[Don't worry, Yanyan is so well behaved and has always been in good health, so she will be fine. ]

However, seeing the child like this, how could Shen Qingqing not be worried? She could only hug the child tighter and whispered to comfort him, "Mom believes Yanyan will be fine. The ambulance will be here soon. If Yanyan is tired, she doesn't have to force herself to talk to me."

Then, in order to prevent the child from getting more scared, she forced a smile and said, "Be good, Yanyan. When you get better, I'll take you wherever you want to go, okay?"

Zhou Jiayan lay in Shen Qingqing's arms and nodded obediently.

The kindergarten was located in the city center, so it was not far from the nearest hospital. But within ten minutes, Shen Qingqing heard the sirens of an ambulance.

Then several people in white coats pushed a bed in, took the child from Shen Qingqing's arms, put him on the bed, and then pushed him into the ambulance.

Of course, during this process, Shen Qingqing followed the ambulance throughout.

It was not until Shen Qingqing sat in the ambulance and watched the nurses examine Zhou Jiayan that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But her hand was still held by Zhou Jiayan's small hand.

The child's hands were soft, but he held her very tightly, very tightly... as if he was treating her as the only floating wood in his drowning situation. :,,
