nThe teacher knew that Chu Xiang just attended kindergarten, thus walked over, and patted her head, “Xiang Xiang just came to school so there’s no need for homework.”

nIt made Chu Xiang pleased, for the fact that she didn’t have to do homework made others even more envious of her.

n“Rainy’s words are getting better and better; who taught you?” Teachers loved well-behaved kids like Rainy the most. Not only was she cute, but her handwriting was also better than other children. The others wrote squiggly and crookedly, but Rainy wrote properly.

nThis child seemed to be developing earlier compared to other children. If properly taught and nurtured, she could become something.

n“Rainy wrote really well. Here’s a red flower today.”

nThe teacher took out a red flower sticker and pasted it next to Rainy’s name. Other children only had one or two stickers, but Rainy had five, showing how well-liked this child was. She emerged first in every competition so the number of stickers continuously increased.

n

nChu Xiang was not satisfied, for she knew that she had to be outstanding so that Granny would like her and would not send her back to the orphanage. She took out her own sweets from her bag to distribute it to all the children in the kindergarten.

nThere weren’t many kids in the kindergarten, with about ten or so in her class. The sweets that Chu Xiang had were all imported and unavailable within the country. The children’s curiosity was invoked by the new product, and they all took the sweet as if they were bribed.

nRainy placed her hands at the back while Chu Xiang gave out the sweets one by one. It was her turn soon, and although she didn’t want the sweet, the wrapper was very pretty. If she brought it home for her mother, Mommy would be very happy. Moreover, Mommy knew magic, too. One sweet could become three: one for Mommy, one for Daddy, and one for Rainy.

nYup, she should not eat it to give it to her Mommy.

n

nChu Xiang gave it out one by one. At her young age, she knew the wonders that money could do. She was relatively popular in the kindergarten. Since she gave out sweets and chocolates regularly—when she arrived, all the children that were doing their own things would swarm around her.

nIndeed, within the child’s mind appeared the concept of networking, too. Networking with intentions in mind would always lead to negative outcomes.

nChu Xiang walked towards Rainy. Growing taller recently, she was almost half a head taller than Rainy. Rainy’s hands were still at the back and did not reach out to want anything from Chu Xiang.

n

nChu Xiang snorted before leaving, giving out a sweet to the child behind Rainy.

nRainy breathed deeply, feeling grievance. She turned and walked towards a small stool before sitting down, placing her pair of hands onto her lap.

nA small chubby boy took his uneaten sweet and ran towards Rainy, stretching out his meaty hands. “Rainy Gao, sweet for you.”

n“Thank you.” Rainy accepted the sweet and placed it into her pocket.

n“Rainy Gao, why are you not eating it?” The small chubby boy sat on the floor and played with the dolls with Rainy.

n“Giving it to Mommy.” Rainy patted her pocket, her smiling eyes curving up. With her round face attracting people, she was really pretty and cute-filling the boy’s eyes with stars.

n“Rainy Gao, I want to go and pee. Shall we go together?” The boy pulled Rainy’s hands.

n

n

nRainy blinked her eyes before shaking her head, “You’re a boy, and I’m a girl. We cannot pee together.”

n“Why not?” The boy’s face fell.

n“Hmm…” Rainy tapped her chin. “Mommy said there was a difference between boys and girls. When girls sit down, we have to flatten our skirt; but not for boys.”

n“Is that so?” The boy pondered over it before standing up, straightening his clothes. “Then I’ll go ahead.” As he spoke, he jumped about finding a teacher to go to the toilet; but he didn’t really understand. Wasn’t the teacher female? Then, why was it okay for the teacher but not for Rainy? Was it because the teacher was too old?

nChu Xiang saw that there was no one and walked over, standing in front of Rainy. Her face was full of displeasure and stretched out her hand. “Rainy Gao, return my sweet to me.”

nRainy chewed on her own lips, with her hands gripping tightly onto that sweet. Her eyelashes quivered before she stretched out her hands from her pocket, the sweet in her palm.

nChu Xiang immediately snatched it over, with her fingernails scratching Rainy’s soft hands.

n

nRainy pouted her lips, with tears pooling at her eyes and placing her hands at the back. Chu Xiang arrogantly raised her chin before heading off to play with other kids.

nBy afternoon, all the parents came to pick up their child. Xia Ruoxin had to knock off slightly later while Gao Yi had to work overtime so she personally called the teacher to inform her that she could only come in later to pick up Rainy.

n

n“Rainy, your Mommy called to say that she’ll come slightly later.” The teacher tugged on Rainy’s hands, tidying her school uniform while speaking.

n“Okay, teacher, Rainy got it.” Rainy powerfully emphatically, biting her fingers as her pair of clear eyes occasionally looked out. Mommy said she would be late so she would wait in the kindergarten for Mommy. When Mommy brings her home, there would be yummy fish. Mommy said she would make sweet fish for her and Daddy.

nThe children outside were continuously picked up by their parents. Then, a black sedan stopped outside the school entrance. When the door opened, a tall suited man walked out. He briskly walked towards the kindergarten’s entrance.

nChu Xiang’s small face was filled with a smile and a feeling of smugness.

nHer Daddy—Daddy came to fetch her.

nHer Daddy’s car was the best; her Daddy was the best, too, being so handsome. Other children’s fathers couldn’t compare to hers.

n

n“Daddy…” Chu Xiang ran over and hugged Chu Lui’s legs.

nChu Lui hugged the child with a stoic expression. The child in his embrace had a small and soft stature. Maybe it was only this childlike innocence and lack of evil that could soften his heart.

nForget it, the procedures were already completed. They’d just raise her as if she was his own. Anyway, he wouldn’t have any more biological children in the future so he might as well treat her like one.

n“Let’s go.” Chu Lui used a hand to hug the child. His arms were strong. Even if there were two kids instead of just one, he probably could still carry them without feeling tired.
