Chapter 85: The Little Red Flower
The walls of the Small Class One classroom were a bright pink and blue, adorned with various cartoon animals. Even the blackboard on the wall was in the shape of a cute little bear.
The kindergarten used small class teaching, with no more than ten children in a class. But even so, with nearly ten children gathered together, the noisy sound was enough to give one a headache.
And among them, the one who was making the most noise was this princess, Bai Xin. After all, she had been born high and mighty. Seeing the friend she had just made being held by another boy, her little brow immediately furrowed, and she unhappily pulled Nuonuo’s arm tightly. “You let go! I’m with Nuonuo!”
Nuonuo was caught in the middle. He was a little slow to react, and his little arm was already red from being pulled by Bai Xin, his fair little face couldn’t help but wrinkle.
Gu Ze sensed Nuonuo’s expression and quickly loosened his grip, turning his head to look at Bai Xin. “Don’t pull so tight. It hurts Nuonuo.”
Hearing this, Bai Xin looked down and saw that the skin on Nuonuo’s arm was already red. She let out a small “ah” in her mouth and quickly let go.
Gu Ze took out the candy he had just received from his pocket, turned his head slightly, and said to Nuonuo in a small voice, “Nuonuo, don’t cry. I’ll give you candy to eat.”
Nuonuo, on the other hand, shook his little head and said in his milky voice, “I’m not cwying. I’m in kindewgawten. I’m a super bwave little fwiend now!”
Perhaps because he had cried in front of Gu Ze many times, Nuonuo felt he had no credibility. His little face was flushed with two red clouds, and he couldn’t help but wring his little hands and add, “It’s twue. I won’t cwy anymore in the future!”
Gu Ze’s dark eyes curved slightly, and he nodded very seriously. “I believe you!”
On this side, the two of them were getting along happily, and Nuonuo had even successfully gotten another fruit candy in his pocket.
And Bai Xin stood there a little at a loss, pursing her lips and fiddling with her princess dress, not knowing what to say.
Teacher Xiao Ran, who had witnessed everything from outside the classroom, walked in with a smile, crouched down, and was at eye level with Bai Xin. “Is little friend Xinxin a princess?”
Starting with the topic that children were most interested in, this move was a hundred percent effective. Sure enough, Teacher Xiao Ran also got a response from Bai Xin.
“Yes. My grandpa is the highest council president of Baizhou. I am the only princess of Baizhou.”
At the mention of this, the expression on Bai Xin’s little face was filled with an innate arrogance and nobility.
The few girls next to her who were holding dolls looked at Bai Xin, and for some reason, their eyes showed a hint of unconscious longing and yearning. Although Bai Xin’s personality was too arrogant and self-centered in her grandfather’s opinion, it had to be said that for a girl to have this kind of confidence was something other children could not envy.
Teacher Xiao Ran also let out a timely “wow.” Her sincere gaze successfully captured Bai Xin, making her unconsciously pull Teacher Xiao Ran into her own camp.
“No wonder. Xinxin is so beautiful. It turns out she’s a princess!” Teacher Xiao Ran turned her head again, looked at Nuonuo, who was talking to Gu Ze, and said softly, “I see that Xinxin’s grandpa is a very generous person. Is Xinxin also such a princess?”
In Bai Xin’s heart, her grandpa was her role model, so she nodded decisively. “I am!”
With that, under Teacher Xiao Ran’s intentional or unintentional hints, Bai Xin clenched the corner of her skirt, her little fists tight, and slowly walked towards Nuonuo.
And Nuonuo, at this moment, was lining up with the other boys, waiting to play on the little wooden horse.
Just as it was almost his turn, his clothes were pulled by Bai Xin. “Nuonuo, I’m sorry.”
This was the first time Bai Xin had apologized to someone. The three words “I’m sorry” were also said with great difficulty. In fact, as soon as she finished speaking, Bai Xin’s face turned as red as a ripe apple, and she quickly ran away, holding her little skirt.
And Nuonuo, who had been pulled out, tilted his little head, a hint of bewilderment in his eyes.
Why did she come to find me?
Nuonuo, this forgetful cub, stood there in a daze for a while. He was called by Gu Ze and quickly turned his head.
“Nuonuo, come and play on the little wooden horse!”
“I’m coming, I’m coming!”
Nuonuo ran over happily, the sweat on his forehead sparkling.
Teacher Xiao Ran saw Nuonuo’s silly appearance, and it was as if her heart had been shot by the arrow of the god of cuteness. The little person in her heart instantly fell to the ground.
So cute, Teacher Xiao Ran thought, unable to help but cup her face.
There were a total of nine children in Small Class One, five boys and four girls.
Not to mention the girls, they all gathered around Bai Xin.
And the boys seemed to be led by Lei Xiaoyan. He was strong with thick eyebrows and looked difficult to mess with, but in fact, Gu Ze was the one who was leading.
But Gu Ze was very protective of Nuonuo. Almost every time he snatched a toy, he would give it to Nuonuo to play with.
Teacher Xiao Ran saw it very clearly, but she didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. After all, such a cute cub, she also wanted to take him home and raise him!
Seeing that it was almost time, Teacher Xiao Ran clapped her hands and gathered everyone together. “Little friends, look what Teacher Xiao Ran has prepared for you?”
Teacher Xiao Ran mysteriously brought up a wooden plate, which was covered with a cloth.
All the children’s gazes were attracted by her. They couldn’t help but stand on their tiptoes and stretch their necks, wanting to see what was inside.
“What is it?”
“It’s a chicken leg, right!”
“No, it must be protective armor! Teacher Xiao Ran is going to transform!”
Teacher Xiao Ran: “…”
“It’s none of those!”
Teacher Xiao Ran was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She placed the plate on the side, cleared her throat, and, before everyone’s eyes, unveiled the cloth on the plate.
“Ta-da! It’s our little red flower stickers! This is a little red flower that only the best and smartest babies can have!”
In fact, these little red flower stickers could be bought for one yuan a large sheet at the small shop outside the school and were very cheap. But when it was given a certain meaning and began to carry the childhood of children, it was no longer something that could be simply evaluated by price.
At least in the eyes of all the children in Small Class One, the little red flower in the wooden plate at this moment was like it had been given a bright light effect from a cartoon, making it impossible for them to look away.
Under the pleading, sparkling eyes of a group of little friends, Teacher Xiao Ran began to point out the good points of each little friend one by one and let them come up to receive the little red flower stickers.
Almost every little friend who walked up stood up straight, their little hands tightly pressed against the seams of their pants, their little necks held high as they let the teacher stick the little red flower on their shoulders or hands.
In the end, only Bai Xin and Nuonuo had not yet gone up to receive one.
As a princess, Bai Xin was naturally arrogant, but at this moment, faced with this situation, she still couldn’t help but tightly clutch the corner of her clothes.
“Good! Today, the teacher also saw a little friend bravely admit their mistake. The teacher thinks this little friend deserves two little red flowers!”
After speaking, Teacher Xiao Ran looked at Bai Xin with a gentle gaze. “Our little friend Bai Xin, come up to the stage to receive two little red flowers!”
Bai Xin didn’t seem to expect that she would have two. Her eyes widened in a daze, and she went up to the stage, instinctively curtsying to the teacher.
“Our little friend Bai Xin is very polite!” Teacher Xiao Ran couldn’t help but praise.
Although the little girl had an arrogant temper, she rarely forgot her etiquette.
Bai Xin was so praised by Teacher Xiao Ran that her cheeks flushed red. Two little red flowers were stuck on the back of her hand, and her little heart was pounding. She felt as if she were stepping on soft clouds at that moment, and in a daze, her lips kept curling up.
Bai Xin felt that she was starting to like kindergarten a little.
The last one to go up was Nuonuo. Teacher Xiao Ran was a fan of cute kids. Seeing Nuonuo run towards her with his eyes sparkling like stars, she couldn’t help but have a doting smile on her face.
Teacher Xiao Ran tried her best to resist the urge to pinch his soft, chubby little face, cleared her throat, and praised, “Nuonuo was the most well-behaved today, and he also generously forgave another little friend. He also deserves two little red flowers!”
Nuonuo himself was still a little dazed. He didn’t even remember who he had forgiven and just went down with his eyes crinkled in a silly smile.
Lei Xiaoyan looked at the little red flower on Nuonuo’s hand, his little eyes so envious he couldn’t look away.
Under Teacher Xiao Ran’s operation, almost all the little friends were tamed. Even the most difficult one, Bai Xin, would occasionally run to Teacher Xiao Ran to talk about her worries.
In the afternoon, when school was over, the parents all gathered at the school gate.
Fei Zhiyan had also arrived early in his car. Thinking of Nuonuo’s crybaby nature, his thin lips pursed slightly, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
The gate opened, and the first little boy to come out was held in the teacher’s arms, crying so hard his two eyes were swollen into a single slit, his voice hoarse as he called for his mommy.
Seeing the child’s miserable state, Fei Zhiyan’s fingers instantly tightened, and he subconsciously stared at the gate.
The parents of the other small classes also stood on their tiptoes and looked in with worry. As the little radish heads of the small classes came out in a line, the parents at the gate also became fewer and fewer.
Small Class One’s location was relatively inside. By the time Nuonuo was tugging at the clothes of the little friend in front of him, wearing his little yellow hat, and shouting “one, two, one, two” in his milky voice as he walked out, there were almost no people left at the gate.
Fei Zhiyan also saw Nuonuo the moment he came out.
Seeing Nuonuo’s lively and happy eyes, Fei Zhiyan’s heart, which had been on edge all day, finally relaxed.
And Nuonuo also saw his papa. With Teacher Xiao Ran’s nod of approval, he took small steps and quickly ran to his papa’s side.
Opening his little hands, Nuonuo was picked up by Fei Zhiyan and clingily wrapped his arms around his papa’s neck. “Papa, I haven’t seen you in a long, long time!”
Nuonuo rested his little face on his papa’s shoulder, his eyes crinkling happily as he chattered on about what had happened in class, as if he wanted to make up for the whole day.
Fei Zhiyan also listened very seriously with his eyes lowered, only nodding with a smile when a response was needed.
And on the other side of the street, at the place where the middle class was being picked up, Zhuang Jie was being held by his mother’s little hand, about to get in the car and leave.
The moment he got in the car, Zhuang Jie inadvertently turned his head and saw Fei Zhiyan holding Nuonuo.
Almost instantly, Zhuang Jie’s heart began to pound violently.
