Chapter 1580: Chapter 1584: So Adorable My Heart Melted
The two of them lay on the bed for a while to recover, got up to wash, changed clothes, and went downstairs. After drinking some water, it was almost time.
These past few days, Ye Xingbei had been busy taking care of Xie Jinfei, neglecting the two kids. The two kids also knew Xie Jinfei was sick, and Ye Xingbei was not in a good mood, so they behaved very well.
Ye Xingbei and Gu Junzhu agreed that after picking up Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue today, they would take them to the botanical garden for a stroll to relax, and then they would have dinner outside instead of at home... although food outside might not be as delicious as what Guu Bohe cooks, even delicacies can get tiresome, so the kids would be happy to change the environment occasionally.
When the two of them arrived at the school gate of Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue, it was just dismissal time.
After waiting for a few minutes, Lingyue’s and Xiao Shumiao’s classes lined up and came out of the school.
Ye Xingbei immediately spotted Lingyue and her son.
No wonder, their height made them stand out.
Among a group of teenagers, eight-year-old Lingyue and five-year-old Xiao Shumiao were as short as two little beans.
Lingyue and Xiao Shumiao quickly saw them too.
From afar, Xiao Shumiao waved at them, smiling brightly, and with small, quick steps, he ran towards them, crashing straight into Ye Xingbei’s arms and climbed up using both hands and feet.
Ye Xingbei laughed and hugged him, giving him a strong kiss: "Darling, were you good today?"
This was purely Ye Xingbei’s catchphrase, asked just for fun, because her darling son was always good, never disobedient.
Every time, the little guy would happily reply "I was good", but today, hearing her question, the little guy’s originally cheerful face suddenly fell, and he looked down, fiddling with his fingers: "Today Xiao Shu wasn’t good..."
"Eh?" Ye Xingbei was surprised and patted his little bottom: "What happened? Did you argue with friends?"
"No, it’s because I made Brother Xiaoyue and the teacher argue!" Xiao Shumiao turned his head to look at Lingyue standing behind him, and then remembered his sad incident, pouting his little mouth, looking as if he was about to cry.
Lingyue held his hand and shook his head, "It’s not Xiao Shu’s fault. It’s the teacher’s fault!"
Ye Xingbei was a bit anxious, "What happened?"
"Let’s talk in the car." Gu Junzhu pushed them into the car.
Sitting in the car, the vehicle started and headed towards the botanical garden.
Gu Junzhu asked Lingyue, "What happened? How did you end up arguing with the teacher?"
When he handled the enrollment for Lingyue and Xiao Shumiao, he specially found someone to investigate. This school had a great reputation, with strict management. The teachers were all graduates from prestigious education universities, high-quality and patient with students. There had never been any incidents of hitting or punishing students.
Moreover, both kids in their family were very sensible, and would never argue with teachers over trivial matters.
"It was Xiao Shu’s fault, not Brother Xiaoyue’s fault!" Before Lingyue could answer, Xiao Shumiao spoke first: "For the past few days, the English teacher has been testing us daily. If anyone made it into the top ten, they would be rewarded with a piece of chocolate. Brother Xiaoyue and I always made it into the top ten, and we always got chocolate—it’s especially, especially, especially tasty!"
The little guy licked his lips, as if recalling the taste of chocolate.
Ye Xingbei asked, "And then?"
"And then?" Xiao Shumiao tilted his little head at her: "And then I got it three times! Chocolate is so delicious. I wanted dad and mom to taste it too. Today, when the teacher gave me chocolate, I hid it because I wanted to bring it home for dad and mom to eat."
