Chapter 180 – Two-Month Overdue Question
Actually, how much grudges could there be between children?
In the morning, although Chen Shiyun made some sarcastic and arrogant remarks towards Xixi, which made her unhappy, Xixi had forgotten about it soon after. Besides, she was also happy about making some new good friends!
At noon, as usual, Chen Shiyun was restless. After taking a few bites of her meal, she ran around the cafeteria. Teacher Mu and others had to take care of some younger children who were still unable to feed themselves due to being spoiled by their parents, so they had no time for her.
As a result, when passing by Xixi’s table, Chen Shiyun was captivated by the chicken wings that Xixi was eating.
The kind-hearted Xixi didn’t refuse and happily invited Chen Shiyun to eat together. Lanxin was actually a little unhappy, but her unhappiness was not because she disliked Chen Shiyun, but rather she was worried that Chen Shiyun, with her big appetite, would take all the delicious food!
However, Chen Shiyun came relatively late, and Lan Xin and Xixi were both full, so she didn’t mind too much.
Chen Shiyun, an easygoing girl, didn’t think she had excluded Xixi from her group of friends, but just temporarily stopped playing with her because Xixi was “disobedient”.
“Chen Shiyun, are we still good friends?” Xixi asked nervously at the time.
“Of course!” Chen Shiyun replied naturally. “I was the first one who wanted to be friends with you!”
Perhaps Xixi was still “disobedient”, but Chen Shiyun thought that since she had so much delicious food, it didn’t really matter if Xixi was “disobedient”.
……
“So because of the food I made, she made many friends. Haha, it seems like I need to prepare more in the future.” Yang Yi proudly said to Mo Fei, as he continued to steer the wheel through the bends and overpasses.
This was on their way back after Yang Yi had just been punished. However, the punishment was nothing serious, and he even enjoyed the admiration of the children.
He, who didn’t understand the true situation, still felt that he had made great contribution to Xixi’s process of making friends.
“Besides Chen Shiyun and Xiner, there is also Qiqi.” Xixi continued telling her mother about her new friends after her father finished speaking. “Qiqi is my third friend. She doesn’t like to talk!”
“Qiqi?” Mo Fei asked curiously. “Her name is sounds similar to yours!”
“Qiqi’s real name is Yang Luoqi. Her dad calls her Qiqi, hehe. Her name is very similar to mine! Xin’er even asked if we are related!” Xixi playfully stuck out her tongue and continued, “I think if we were family, I would be Qiqi’s older sister!
“Haha, you really want to be a big sister?” Mo Fei rubbed the little girl’s head and laughed.
“Because I’m bigger than Qiqi!” Xixi said matter-of-factly. But it was unclear whether she meant older in age or taller in height.
“It’s okay, you’ll get to be a big sister in the future!” Yang Yi said from the front seat.
“Really?” Xixi grabbed the back of the front seat and asked excitedly.
How could Mo Fei not understand Yang Yi’s meaning? She blushed and pulled the little girl back, chiding, “Don’t listen to your father’s nonsense! Go on and tell Mama, who else did you make friends with?”
“There’s also Nan Zhaoyu, he also doesn’t like to talk, but he can recite poetry! In the afternoon, Nan Zhaoyu recited poetry for us!” Xixi said.
Yang Yi became vigilant: “Is he a boy?”
“Yes! Nanzhaoyu is a boy, and then Qi Qi and Xin’er are girls, and Chen Shiyun is also a girl!” Xixi was confused1As to why Yang Yi asked if he was a boy and she explained.
“It’s okay if he’s a boy. In the future, Xixi will also get to know many boys!” Mo Fei smiled and said, “Quickly tell me, what poem did he recite?”
Yang Yi didn’t really pay attention to what Xixi said afterwards. He was still pondering.
Xixi made friends with a boy? And they are good friends?
Next time, he has to see which boy it is! Then pay close attention and keep a close watch!
Yang Yi had even thought about a plan beforehand. If any boy dared to try to get close to Xixi, he would take a knife…
Along the way, the little girl kept chattering with her mother about interesting things in kindergarten, full of energy. Although Xixi used to like talking to her father and mother, she was not as cheerful as he was today.
Mo Fei felt that the kindergarten they went to was very worth it!
Although she was a little disappointed, after all, Xixi’s reaction was not as she had imagined, crying for her mother all day long. But overall, Xixi’s condition was still good and positive!
Back home, Yang Yi went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Mo Fei was still asking about Xixi’s kindergarten experience in detail, and Xixi was still happily talking about everything, big or small.
“……Qiqi can dance, she dances beautifully!”
In the afternoon, Teacher Mu arranged a talent show for the children, allowing each child to show off their talents.
Of course, not every child was talented, and there were also many children who were timid and didn’t know what to do, standing in the middle at a loss.
At this point, Teacher Mu would come up to encourage and guide them, encouraging them to try their best to show off their talents, even if it was just doing a somersault on the ground. After they finished, she would call on the other children to applaud them!
Although some of it may seem nonsensical, it has to be said that these encouragements allowed these children to step out of their little comfort zones one by one, and have more confidence to bravely expressing themselves in the future.
Mo Fei was a little curious and asked, “So, what did Xixi perform?”
“I can do a lot of things!” Xixi puffed out her chest and proudly told her mother, “But the teacher said there was no piano, so Xixi couldn’t play the piano, Xixi could only sing. Xin’er also sang, she sang very loudly!”
“What song did Xixi sing?” Mo Fei saw that the little girl had gotten off topic again and smiled, bringing the topic back, “Can you perform it again for Mama to see?”
“Sure!” Xixi was most eager to perform, especially to show her mother her achievements praised by her teacher. She was full of energy!
“Like this, Mom, you sit here, and everyone else should sits in a circle.” The little girl went all out with the performance, pulling Mo Fei to sit down and then bringing over her stuffed animals, dolls, and even the throw pillows on the couch to act as the audience.
“Okay, okay, this works too. Let’s just pretend there are so many children around.” If Mo Fei hadn’t called out to the little girl, Xixi might have brought out more than 30 of them…
“Then I’m going to start singing!”
The little girl stood in the middle, confident and bold. She had forgotten how nervous she was before. She really looked like a little singer, and began to sing, “Let it go, let it go, can’t hold it back anymore…”
Xixi’s voice wasn’t as loud as Lanxin’s, but it was clear and had texture, delicate yet powerful, with great discernibility!
Moreover, when Xixi sang, she pronounced the words accurately and clearly. She sang the English song no worse than the movie’s original soundtrack. It was full of a childish charm and extremely pleasant to listen to.
Mo Fei had heard this melody before and was also sung by the little girl, but at that time, she was busy with her comeback album and didn’t pay attention. Now she listened carefully, but after Xixi sang it twice, she stopped.
“Why don’t you stop singing? Sing it until the end!” Mo Fei said excitedly. She wanted to see if her daughter could really finish singing an English song!
“I can’t sing the rest of it! I can’t remember so much,” the little girl pouted and said, “Papa is amazing! Papa can sing a lot and sing very well.”
Yang Yi? Did he sing this song to his daughter? And an English song? Mo Fei’s mind flashed with a question that she should have noticed months ago.
