Kindergarten

Yuxuan stood on the balcony, watching the car until it passed the street. He then went inside.

In ten minutes, they reached the kindergarten. Standing in front of the small kindergarten school, Ehuang held Zixin's hand and looked up at him. "Do they have grasses, Papa?"

He turned to her and said, "Of course, they do."

Ehuang bloomed with a smile, and then they walked together inside.

Soon after entering, Ehuang caught sight of only a few students playing in the playground; however, her excited glance searched for grassland among the plenty of playthings.

"gotcha!"

She let go of his hand and sprinted to the grassland that was trimmed neatly and even built a half-foot-high concrete around it, indicating that was one of the playthings among those sliding games and sands where other students were getting dirty on their dresses.

Zixin adored her as she bounced in the grassland, lying sprawled on the grass facing the bright sky as if it were bed. Then she moved her legs and hands upon the grass like a butterfly. With a sleek, huge smile, she enjoyed herself playing alone.

Three little girls playing in the sand glimpsed her.

"What is that girl doing there, leader?" one of the girls asked.

Their leader, whose hairstyle is a ponytail, stood up and headed to Ehuang once after commenting to them, "Let's see!"

They were running behind her, crossing between Zixin's legs as if he were invisible.

Zixin was startled, abruptly looking down at his leg gap, where they were running. "Am I invisible to them?"

Those girls stood next to her, crossing their hands against their chests like higher-ups, and they also sent a weird glare towards Ehuang, who was laughing herself, spreading her legs and hands like butterflies.

"Hoi!" One of the girls sounded rude on behalf of the ponytail girl.

Ehuang kept enjoying herself as if she were deaf to her sound.

Zixin was just standing right there, watching them.

"Is she deaf?" a double ponytail-haired girl asked the leader.

"Is that much fun to play?" Another girl mumbled herself, moving to Ehuang with a disbelieving look on her face, lying on the grass next to her, and copying her move.

Her frown partially transformed into a wide smile as she felt excitement and freedom just by waving her hands and legs. She quickly twisted her neck to look at the leader.

"Leader, this is wonderful. Come and try!"

She exclaimed, beaming at Ehuang, who laughed gratifyingly at her companion.

"Really, Tai?" double ponytail hair-styled girl vigorous to get a taste of that feeling. So she laid right there, immediately playing with them.

Later, she too felt enthusiastic. "Leader, come and try. It feels great!"

Letting out a hopeless sigh, she joined with them as if she had no choice.

Meanwhile...

An eagerness peaked, and she began to enjoy that feeling together with them as even the sun screeching caused them to feel real warmth that eased their bodies.

As Zixin chuckled at them, a middle-aged woman came to him and welcomed him politely. "It's my pleasure to meet you, CEO, Mr. Ki."

Zixin turned around and bowed invariably, "Me too, teacher."

Thereafter, she led him all the way to the headmaster's office.

The little girl Tai sat up, glimpsing at Ehuang smiling at her friend, Wei Wei, the double ponytail hairstyle girl.

"What's your name?" The leader girl, Susu, asked Eluang.

Letting out a huge exhale and lifting two legs in the air, she sat up. Pressing her palms between her widely spread legs, she answered, "Ehuang."

"E-E hau- hang?" Wei Wei tried to pronounce her name but failed. "Your name is tough to pronounce."

"Is it? That means you have not studied the alphabet well yet." Ehuang mocked her effortlessly.

Noticing her spoiling their team member, Susu voiced rudely, "Do you know all the alphabet?"

"Yes!" Ehuang assured, "My papa taught me everything when I was a year old."

Three of them laughed at her scornfully.

"No way; we can't even talk properly at the age of one. My mama told me about it. Are you making us fools?" Susu teased her.

"Is that so?" Ehuang thought for a second and replied shortly, but with conviction, "But I did."

"Liar!" Susu stood up, looking down on her nose. "You must learn how to talk to elders!" she warned, and she jumped out of the grassland to leave her.

Thereafter, Wei Wei and Tai stood up and asserted angrily, "Yes!" and then followed their leader, SuSu, leaving Ehuang to feel discouraged.

Zixin came out of the building, looking to the side of the grassland to find Ehuang; instead, he caught sight of those three girls coming his way.

"Finished playing already?" He asked himself, lifting his one leg to step towards Ehuang, who was just sitting, plucking out grasses one by one.

Suddenly, he froze.

He was perplexed for a moment. His foot tip was hanging in the air without making its first step towards Ehuang, just when he learned those girls were making their way between his legs as if he were just transparent. Even Tai held his leg and swirled past him as if it were just a pole.

He planted his foot and turned around to look at them. "What? Do they purposely do that?"

His mumble was not tough to hit dismayed Ehuang. "Papa!" she ran to him and jumped into his arms as he turned back to her abruptly.

"Do you like this place?" he asked, looking at those three girls, who went back to play with sand.

"Yes!" Ehuang asserted with a huge smile. There was nothing hidden behind her keen smile.

"I'm glad, then. Let's go and have lunch," he affirmed, leaving the kindergarten with her.

A longing look from Ehuang was set on those girls, who were just playing without minding her leaving. She couldn't help but pout in dissatisfaction and hug her father tightly.

After fastening his seat belt, he shut the door and came to the driver's seat.

On the way home, Zixin pulled the car over to a restaurant where few customers were.

Carrying Ehuang in his left arm, he warned her before entering the restaurant.

"No spicy food!"

"Papa..."

She wailed, sighed, and even slapped his shoulder before hugging his neck with a regretful look on her face.

Offering a fondle slap on her butt, he brought to her mind, "You are a baby, Ehuang."

He then moved in.

He put her in the sofa seat before he sat next to her.

The server boy arrived and noted the order from Zixin, while Ehuang yearningly peeked at the menu book in Zixin's hand.

"Noodles,"

"Noodles,"

"Noodles,"

She kept murmuring to the server boy, covering her mouth from getting caught by Zixin, whose eyes were browsing for healthy and plain food items named in the menu book.

The server boy coughed and backed off two steps from her. A bunch of fright sat evidently on his face, and he stood straight quickly, fixing his eyes on the notebook deliberately to avoid her because the restaurant had met her so many times.

When Ehuang was two, she had been here with Zixin and Mr. Lau. A young girl got fired for serving spicy food without Zixin's permission.

Her second time, she spilled some water on the servant's shoes wittingly for not listening to her secret voice. That was what she was doing right now.

The third time, she stole steak from Mrs. Lau's plate and shipped one of the servants to her papa to save Mrs. Lau from getting yelled at.

There were plenty of naughty things she would do to eat spicy food, but Zixin never allowed her to have it.

Zixin rolled his eyes at the servant boy. Ehuang dropped her hand and moulded her expression like a good child immediately.

"Rice with an egg, for baby. Do not add spicy ingredients while frying rice and eggs." He ordered, giving back the menu book.

"Okay, sir," the servant boy said, bowing and heading back to get their order.

As the server boy turned towards the reception, vacating the way for the coming customer, Zixin caught sight of LingYun waving his hand at him with a handsome smile.
