Little Fatty died from a fall?
Su Ci looked into the classroom and saw the Old Lady leading Little Fatty to a table. Little Fatty, with his greasy hands still holding a chicken leg, directly pushed away a little girl who was sitting in the seat.
The little girl stood up, startled and crying.
Little Fatty, acting domineeringly, sat down in the girl's seat and continued gnawing on his chicken leg.
The kindergarten teacher approached, presumably to intervene, but the Old Lady blocked the teacher, her aggressive stance suggesting she was scolding the teacher.
Children at that age are highly impressionable and tend to mimic the behavior of the adults around them. The Old Lady's domineering behavior was clearly influencing Little Fatty.
Su Ci frowned. Most of the children in this national kindergarten came from well-off families, so their parents should have decent manners.
Su's Mother had just finished a phone call and saw the dispute unfolding in the classroom. She noticed the Old Lady speaking arrogantly to the kindergarten teacher. "That seems to be the Old Lady from the Ye Family?"
"Mom, do you know her?" Su Ci was a bit surprised.
"I've met her once," Su's Mother told Su Ci. This Old Lady was from the Ye Family.
The Ye Family, though not on the same level as the Su Family, was still a well-known wealthy family. Many people knew that the current head of the Ye Family was from a rural background and had later married into the Ye Family. The Old Lady herself was also from a rural area. It wasn't that rural people were looked down upon, but the Old Lady's crude and unreasonable behavior was truly something.
One of the reasons Su's Mother remembered the Old Lady was from a tea party where the Old Lady had publicly insulted her daughter-in-law, Ye Xi, the Ye Family's daughter. She had even thrown a tantrum, accusing her daughter-in-law of not serving her properly and not respecting her as a mother-in-law. Her shrewish and unreasonable behavior was truly astonishing.
"To be honest, Ye Xi's personality is too soft. She's the daughter of the Ye Family, yet she lives so miserably," Su's Mother said with some regret.
Su Ci nodded.
From her mother's words, she could tell that Ye Xi had a good hand to play but had somehow messed it up.
However, the Ye Family's affairs were none of her concern. All she needed to do was save Little Fatty to get the golden cotton candy.
The only thing bothering her was that she didn't know where Little Fatty would fall and die.
...
Su Ci didn't need to attend military training.
She comfortably lounged at home, enjoying the fruits brought by the servant, when she suddenly received a message from Shen Xue.
Shen Xue had sent a video.
Su Ci thought of something and quickly sat up in her hammock. She clicked on the video and immediately saw Lu Zhe standing in the first row, first position, during military training.
Even through the screen, she could feel the intensity of the sun.
The sunlight fell on Lu Zhe, giving him a radiant glow. The young man stood tall and straight, exuding a cold and refreshing aura.
Since they were practicing standing at attention, the video was like a still image, lasting only fifteen seconds.
Su Ci saved the video.
She sent a message to Shen Xue: Why is the video so short?
Shen Xue, feeling the implicit dissatisfaction from Su Ci, replied: They were dismissed for a break. Do you want to see a video of Lu Zhe resting too?
Today, their class happened to be next to Lu Zhe's class during training. Perhaps because she had often acted as Su Ci's "tool person," she instinctively filmed Lu Zhe and sent the video to Su Ci.
Su Ci: Yes, yes, yes...
Shen Xue: Wait.
Su Ci popped a small piece of peach into her mouth and patiently waited for Lu Zhe's video.
After a while, the second video arrived.
Su Ci clicked it open.
The weather was hot, and everyone had taken off their hats to fan themselves, sitting listlessly on the ground. Lu Zhe, however, sat upright on the stone steps, lifting his head to drink water.
Shen Xue cleverly zoomed in the lens, allowing Su Ci to clearly see Lu Zhe's Adam's apple moving up and down as he swallowed.
There was an indescribable sensuality to it.
Su Ci remembered the other day when she kissed Lu Zhe's Adam's apple, and his intense reaction.
Could his Adam's apple be a sensitive spot for him?
Su Ci popped another piece of peach into her mouth and continued watching the video of Lu Zhe.
After drinking water, he sat quietly, not engaging in conversation with others.
Su Ci felt that even if Lu Zhe didn't move, just looking at his face was pleasing to the eye.
In the next second, the video shook slightly, and Su Ci saw a girl walk up to Lu Zhe. The girl took out a pack of tissues and handed it to Lu Zhe.
Su Ci instinctively sat up straight.
She saw Lu Zhe in the video lift his head to look at the girl.
Then, the video ended!
Su Ci: Who is that girl? Why didn't you continue filming?
However, Shen Xue didn't reply.
After waiting for a while, there was still no response.
Su Ci knew that Shen Xue was probably in training.
Not seeing the continuation made Su Ci feel anxious and uncomfortable.
She felt herself becoming petty, not being able to stand any girl getting close to Lu Zhe, not even to give him tissues!
Su Ci summoned Fu Gui'er: "Fu Gui'er, do you think your master is petty?"
Fu Gui'er felt that Su Ci was indeed petty. Every time she got golden cotton candy, she gave most of it to Lu Zhe and only a tiny bit to it.
Fu Gui'er felt wronged but didn't say anything.
After gradually calming down the crying children, the teacher also forgot to have Kuaile return to his original seat.
For the entire afternoon, Kuaile sat quietly on the small stool in the corner.
In the past, when Kuaile couldn’t walk, he could only sit in his wheelchair, admiringly watching the other kids jump and play.
Until his father told him that after getting his prosthetic feet, he could also walk, Kuaile was very happy, realizing that he could also walk like the other kids.
However, seeing the other children who were scared and cried because of his feet, Kuaile first realized that even if he could walk, he was still different from the other kids.
Kuaile lowered his head in disappointment.
His hands awkwardly touched his feet; he wasn’t a little monster.
However, Su Ci was unaware of all this.
“Kuaile’s feet are different from everyone else’s because he is a little angel, and that’s his symbol of bravery.” Su Ci patted Little Su Ning and Little Tiancai on the head, “Tomorrow when you go back to school, you can give Kuaile a hug.”
A little angel with broken wings should be cherished by everyone.
The next day, when they returned to the kindergarten, Kuaile no longer had the excitement of the first day of school.
He sat quietly in his seat, feeling a bit nervous. He secretly glanced at the other kids, afraid that he might scare them again.
“Kuaile.” After handing his little backpack to the teacher, Little Su Ning trotted over to Kuaile, “Here.”
Kuaile was a bit surprised when Little Su Ning handed him a piece of candy.
Before Kuaile could react, he was suddenly hugged by Little Su Ning.
Little Su Ning said in a childish voice, “Sister said you’re a brave angel, and I want to be your friend. Ningning is also an angel.”
Kuaile’s big, shiny eyes lit up in disbelief.
Over there, Little Tiancai also walked over.
“Ningning, it’s my turn to hug him.” Little Tiancai pulled his brother away.
Little Su Ning let go.
In the next moment, Little Tiancai also hugged Kuaile, “Now that I’ve hugged you, we’re friends.”
Kuaile’s nervous heart calmed down. His big, shiny eyes curved into a smile, “Okay.”
“You hugged a monster.” Beside them, Little Fatty looked at them in horror.
“Kuaile isn’t a monster; my sister said he’s an angel.” Little Su Ning glared at Little Fatty, “You’re mean, you’re not a good kid.”
Little Fatty crossed his arms over his chubby belly, lifting his chin with a look of disdain, “Fang Kuaile doesn’t have feet; his feet are fake. A kid without feet is a monster.”
He had asked his grandma yesterday, and she told him that.
His grandma also told him not to play with the monster who didn’t have feet.
Little Tiancai was very angry. His fair little face turned stern, “You’re so fat, you’re different from us. Are you a monster too?”
Little Fatty was stunned.
He looked at Kuaile, Little Tiancai, and Little Su Ning, then at his own chubby body. He was indeed different from the other kids.
Little Fatty panicked, “I’m not a monster; Fang Kuaile is.”
Little Tiancai glared at him fiercely, “If you keep calling Kuaile a monster, we’ll call you a monster too, a scary big monster.”
Little Fatty was so angry.
No one had ever dared to bully him like this before. His grandma said he was a precious treasure, and everyone should listen to him.
“You’re mean to me, and I won’t share my chicken legs with you.” Little Fatty was so angry that his chubby body trembled.
Little Su Ning nodded, “Ningning doesn’t like chicken legs; I only like pudding.”
Little Tiancai: “I don’t like them either.”
Kuaile whispered, “I don’t eat chicken legs; I like candy.”
Little Fatty was dumbfounded.
His grandma had prepared chicken legs for him and put them in his backpack. She told him that if any other kids wanted to eat his chicken legs or take them away, he should tell the teacher to scold them.
But why didn’t the other kids like chicken legs?
In the evening, Su Ci again heard the two little boys complaining, saying that Little Fatty was bad and called Kuaile a monster.
Su Ci remembered that Little Fatty had two days left to live, “Sister will help Kuaile get even.” She wanted Little Fatty to experience what it’s like to face the harsh realities of society.
At that moment, Su Ci received a video from Shen Xue.
Tool-person Shen Xue: Just got dismissed, didn’t have time to send it to you.
Because Lu Zhe was undergoing military training and had to deal with company documents at night, Su Ci, being understanding, had not pestered him these past few days, relying on the videos Shen Xue sent as her source of mental sustenance.
Seeing the two little boys nearby, Su Ci took her phone and went back to her room.
Closing the door, she happily lay on the bed and clicked on the video.
This time, the shooting distance was a bit far, and after the camera zoomed in, the image was a bit blurry, but Su Ci didn’t mind at all.
The video showed Lu Zhe resting, just like yesterday, quietly sitting to the side.
Su Ci had always known that Lu Zhe was a loner, and she didn’t mind at all because she was also a loner.
Su Ci’s eyes sparkled as she watched Lu Zhe in the video. She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but he seemed to have tanned a bit?
She felt a bit heartbroken.
However, the next moment, a girl walked up to Lu Zhe and naturally sat down beside him.
Su Ci’s gaze paused, narrowing her eyes as she recognized the girl as the one who had given Lu Zhe a tissue yesterday.
