Chapter 84: The Fight
The autumn sun was quieter and gentler than in summer, hanging quietly in the sky, shining on the earth as if it were covered with a thin layer of golden yellow gauze.
At the kindergarten entrance, many parents were anxiously pulling their children, talking to the teachers while coaxing their crying children.
At this moment, an even clearer cry came, making everyone unconsciously turn to look.
Bai Xin was wearing a pink and white fluffy princess dress, with her hair in a small bun and a pearl headband on her head. She was being pulled by an old man towards the school.
But Bai Xin shook her little head, crying until she was out of breath, not even bothering with her princess etiquette, crying for her grandfather to take her home.
“I don’t want to go, don’t want to go!”
It seemed that all the little children had a wrong perception of kindergarten, thinking that the teachers inside were terrible monsters who could eat three children at every meal.
President Bai, seeing the gazes of the crowd, couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. He coughed a couple of times and quickly crouched down to coax his little granddaughter.
Unlike Fei Zhiyan, President Bai often attended various alliance councils. Although the people of Yunzhou were not very familiar with him, there were still some who often watched the news and recognized this old man.
“President Bai, why is he in our Yunzhou?”
“I saw on the news before that more than half of Daizhou has already been placed under Yunzhou’s jurisdiction. Could it be that Baizhou is also going to be merged into our Yunzhou?”
When someone said this, it couldn’t help but make the few people in the crowd gasp.
Before, when Fei Zhiyan conquered Huazhou, many people had joked that he wouldn’t be trying to unify the world. But in just a few short years, the speed at which Fei Zhiyan conquered cities and territories was simply astounding.
“Probably not. It looks like he’s just here to send his granddaughter to kindergarten. Who doesn’t know that our Yunzhou has been vigorously rectifying its education these past few months? The education level in Baizhou has always been inferior to ours.”
This was indeed true. Even before Fei Zhiyan’s rectification, Baizhou’s corrupt education was extremely unfair to women.
There were even many small border towns where girls were not allowed to go to school or show their faces in public.
In the old-fashioned thinking of some in Baizhou, such girls were considered “well-read and well-mannered.”
But President Bai’s daughter had died an untimely death, leaving only this little granddaughter. He had doted on her as she grew up and naturally couldn’t bear to let her grow up in such an educational environment.
It should be known that when Bai Xin was just born, those old men in the council had even planned to have Bai Xin marry a certain prince from Daizhou in the future, in a vain attempt to use the marriage alliance to stabilize their Baizhou’s political power.
But now, that prince from Daizhou had already died, having gone up against Fei Zhiyan.
But President Bai still couldn’t help but worry.
He had come to Yunzhou before to discuss cooperation with Fei Zhiyan. Seeing Yuncheng’s skyscrapers and technological level, and visiting some of the open classes at Yuncheng University, he also had to admit that going to school in Yunzhou was a better choice for Bai Xin.
In addition to Fei Zhiyan’s emphasis on education, President Bai also knew that he had a child who was preparing to go to kindergarten at home, so he simply made up his mind and let Bai Xin stay in Yuncheng for school.
Bai Xin had been spoiled by him, and in Baizhou, almost everyone doted on her, which had cultivated an arrogant and spoiled personality.
President Bai had often worried about Bai Xin’s personality and only hoped that in the kindergarten in Yuncheng, Bai Xin could learn to change some of her bad habits.
The crowd was a little noisy because of President Bai’s appearance.
There were even a few people who secretly wanted to take photos and post them on Weibo, but they were directly stopped by the bodyguards next to President Bai, and the photos were deleted.
And the crying Bai Xin wiped her tears. Just as she was about to make a fuss again and have her grandfather take her back, she looked up and saw Nuonuo lying on Fei Zhiyan’s shoulder.
Bai Xin had a very deep impression of Nuonuo. After all, he was Fei Jing’s little brother and had even received the only bouquet of roses from Prince Fei Jing.
Her eyes widened. Bai Xin didn’t even bother to cry anymore. She took two steps forward, and just as she was about to put her hands on her hips, she remembered her ladylike etiquette and quickly lowered her little arms, pouting as she curtsied to him.
“Why are you here? Is Big Brother Xiao Jing here too?”
Although she had been heartbroken by Fei Jing, Bai Xin was a complete face-con and had forgotten about it after crying for two days.
At this moment, seeing Nuonuo here, she turned her little head, wanting to see if Big Brother Xiao Jing had also come.
Nuonuo swung his little feet and, after getting down from his papa’s arms, tilted his head in confusion and looked at this little girl, his eyes full of bewilderment, having completely forgotten who she was.
Seeing that Nuonuo wasn’t speaking, Bai Xin thought that he also didn’t want to go to kindergarten and inexplicably felt a sense of camaraderie.
Wiping the teardrops from her face with a small handkerchief, Bai Xin carefully folded the dirty little handkerchief, handed it to the maid on the side, and then took small steps forward and said to Nuonuo, “You don’t want to go to school either, do you? How about we run away together! Your papa is the president of Yunzhou, so others definitely won’t dare to stop you!”
Nuonuo’s little face was dazed. After hearing Bai Xin’s words, he blinked a couple of times and then frantically shook his little head. “I don’t want to. I’m going to kindewgawten!”
Hearing Nuonuo’s refusal, Bai Xin’s eyes widened in disbelief, and her hand, which was holding her skirt, unconsciously loosened. “You’re going to kindergarten? But there are teachers in kindergarten who eat children!”
Nuonuo frowned his little brow, feeling that what Bai Xin said was not right. He wrung his little hands and thought for a while before he took out a candy from his pocket. “No, ya. Teacher Xiao Ran is very nice. She gave me candy to eat.”
Every little friend who came to register would get a sweet candy. Because Nuonuo was so well-behaved, Teacher Xiao Ran had even paid out of her own pocket and given him an extra chocolate.
Looking at the candy in Nuonuo’s hand, Bai Xin was directly stunned. “Then do I get one too?” Bai Xin tilted her head and asked.
Nuonuo pursed his lips and thought for a moment before nodding. “The teacher said that all good little friends will get one.”
Looking at the candy in Nuonuo’s hand, Bai Xin’s slender brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of a competitive spirit inexplicably ignited in her eyes.
She couldn’t be outdone by Big Brother Xiao Jing’s little brother. She was a princess and must not lose to anyone!
And so, holding her floor-length princess dress, Bai Xin took a deep breath and said to her grandfather with her little face tilted up, “Grandpa, you can go first. I’m going to school now.”
President Bai was busy talking to Fei Zhiyan. Since they were both here to send their children to school, the topic naturally revolved around the children.
But seeing that Fei Zhiyan’s son was so well-behaved and obedient, President Bai couldn’t help but feel a little sour in his heart.
And Fei Zhiyan, seeing President Bai’s envious gaze, curled his lips, a hint of pride in his raised brows and eyes. “Nuonuo is just a little more well-behaved and clingy. He’s not as lively as your granddaughter.”
President Bai was also an old hand. How could he not hear the implied praise and subtle criticism in Fei Zhiyan’s words? His face instantly darkened a degree, and he almost poked his handsome face directly with his cane.
But in the end, he was still afraid of starting a conflict between the two continents, so President Bai endured it.
Taking two deep breaths, President Bai was just about to find an excuse to leave when he suddenly heard Bai Xin say she was going to kindergarten.
Instantly, his drooping brows lifted, and President Bai tapped his cane twice, his face smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum. “Good, good, good! Xiner is also a good child!”
Afraid that his granddaughter would change her mind in the next second, President Bai didn’t dare to stay long. He just instructed the maid and the bodyguards to take good care of the young lady and then quickly got in the car and left.
And this time, Bai Xin, watching her grandfather leave, did not cry or make a fuss. Instead, she clenched her little fists, tilted her chin up, and said to the maid, “Sister Xiao Fei, you go and put away the luggage. I’m going with… what’s your name again?”
Only then did Bai Xin remember that she still didn’t know Nuonuo’s name, so she quickly asked.
“My name is Nuonuo.”
Nuonuo spoke softly, and his speech was slow, which didn’t at all match Miss Bai Xin’s impatient temper.
She stomped her foot, and the curly bangs on both sides of her cheeks swayed along. She took Nuonuo’s hand and said, “I’m Bai Xin. Let’s hurry up and go in!”
Bai Xin couldn’t wait to get into the class and win candy from the teacher!
The children went into the classroom according to their assigned classes, while the adults went to the nap room to put away the children’s beds and other things.
When Bai Xin and Nuonuo went, almost everyone in the class had already arrived. They were playing with the toys in the classroom in groups of two and three.
And Gu Ze and Lei Xiaoyan were the first to arrive. Lei Xiaoyan, with his sturdy build, had even taken over the only small wooden horse in the classroom.
The other children who wanted to play all gathered around him, chewing on their hands and asking, “Lei Xiaoyan, can you let me play for a while?”
Lei Xiaoyan let out a “hmph,” tilted his chin up, and shook his head with a feigned coolness. “No… way!”
Gu Ze, on the other hand, had been sitting quietly in his chair since he arrived, looking at the door from time to time, waiting for Nuonuo to come.
Lei’s father and Lei’s mother knew that these few children had a good relationship and had specially used their connections to put them in the same class.
Gu Ze was afraid that Nuonuo would not be able to find his way. Seeing that he hadn’t come for a long time, he was about to get up and go to the door to have a look.
Fortunately, in the next second, Nuonuo came in behind Bai Xin.
Gu Ze’s dark eyes instantly lit up. He stood up and ran over, but when he saw Bai Xin holding Nuonuo’s hand, his steps paused.
Pursing his lips, Gu Ze’s eyes turned dark again. He walked over and also took Nuonuo’s hand. “Nuonuo, who is she?”
Gu Ze looked at Bai Xin with a strong sense of crisis.
And Bai Xin, pulling Nuonuo to go to the front, found that she couldn’t pull him. She turned her head and saw Gu Ze, and her mouth instantly puckered unhappily. “Who are you? Why are you also holding Nuonuo?”
