61. Teacher Spider

This was exactly what Li Zhilan wanted. She felt like the goddess of luck suddenly blessed her. The outcome couldn't be better.

So right after the bell ring signaling the start of lunch break, Li Zhilan grabbed Qi Longwei's hand with her own and dragged him out of the class.

Dud to the sudden contact, Qi Longwei's mind short circuited. Everyone disappeared from his sight and all he could see was the small, smooth hand which held his large ones. When he looked up her hand, girl infront of him running while dragging him left him feeling all warm in his heart. Her hair was left free and it flowed like a river in the the air. All this time, all Qi Longwei could do was stare at the gir while his legs followed her automatically.

Everything felt like when they were in the past, when they were still kids.

''Spider, come quick. See there is a rabbit over there. Did you see it? Did you see it? See it's such a cute little rabbit. Let's catch it and take it back. I want to pet it. Quick, let's catch it or it'll be gone.'' Little Firefly was too engrossed in the little rabbit that she didn't see that little Spider's eyes never left her. How could he have the time to care about how the rabbit looked when there was a cute Firefly jumping infront of him. But that doesn't mean he didn't hear anything. He always heard her words even when there were tens of people talking around them. It was like his body had a special ability of ignore everyone and focus on her and only her.

''Firefly, you can't just take it away. It's parents would be so sad if it's gone. Don't your parents feel sad when you leave for the camp every year. It's parents would also feel very sad, more than your parents if it is taken.''

''But...''

''No buts. See its parents are already waiting for it.'' True indeed there were two other rabbits not so far from the small rabbit.

It's true that Little Spider a.k.a Qi Longwei always pampered Little Firefly a.k.a Li Zhilan but there was a limit and that was that he won't do anything that would make her go down the wrong path. Once there was something like this happening, he would teach her why she shouldn't do it, with reasons and examples attached. And she having the smartness that she did, always caught the lesson on a go.

It could be said that the most basic morales and understandings of the of the world were taught to Li Zhilan by Qi Longwei during the spring camp they shared together, during the only time they met in a year.

If these things were not taught by Qi Longwei and was left for the family, Li Zhilan might have turned out to be the most spoiled princess in history. There might not have been another one like her in the future as well.

Instead of teaching her what's right, her family might have just let her do as she liked. Instead of reprimanding her like every normal parents, they for sure would have not only cleaned up the mess she left behind but also encourage her to do as she pleases.
