To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Yun Xiaoshan looked at Zhiyuan first, and Zhiyuan mouthed three words to him: "Tattooing expert."

Yun Xiaoshan pursed her lips in anger.

Zhiyuan then said three more words: "Call me Grandpa."

Yun Xiaoshan was so angry that he turned his head away and said to the teacher with a stern face, "Change my clothes, I won't tell my mom."

Upon hearing this, the teacher quickly took him downstairs to take a bath and change his clothes.

From then on, whenever Yun Xiaoshan appeared in front of Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan would silently say three words: "Call me Grandpa."

As soon as those three words were uttered, Yun Xiaoshan's lips would tremble, and he would immediately turn away from Zhiyuan, looking like he was about to cry. In fact, he stopped bullying his classmates for several days in a row. This was because every time Yun Xiaoshan was about to do something, he would involuntarily look at Zhiyuan, and as soon as Zhiyuan's eyes met his, he would immediately look away.

The little round-faced girl found it all very amazing. "Li Zhiyuan, do you know the secret? Why does Yun Xiaoshan run away as soon as she sees you?"

Zhiyuan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I'll tell you a secret: as long as you say these three words, Yun Xiaoshan will be scared."

The little girl with the round face opened her eyes wide and nodded curiously.

Zhiyuan whispered three words in his ear.

The little round-faced girl's mouth dropped open in surprise.

That very day, the little round-faced girl went to verify the power of those two words.

While playing with toys in the afternoon, Little Round Face finally got his long-desired wooden truck, but Yun Xiaoshan saw it and ran over to snatch it.

The little round-faced boy held the truck tightly to his chest. Yun Xiaoshan had already grabbed the truck, and it looked like he was about to snatch it away. The little round-faced boy shouted, "Call me Grandpa!"

Yun Xiaoshan was stunned, as if he had been hit on the head with a stick, and stood there motionless, his face flushed red.

Seeing this, the little round-faced girl thought it might actually be working, so she called out again, "Call Grandpa!"

Yun Xiaoshan's face turned bright red, and he abandoned his toys and ran away.

Little Round Face was overjoyed; Zhiyuan's secret was really useful!

Within a day, the "secret" was known to the whole class...

Yun Xiaoshan felt that he could no longer stay in the class.

He used to be so powerful. No one would take any of his toys from him. If he wasn't full from his afternoon snacks, he could take whatever he wanted, and everyone would give him some.

Now, as soon as he gets close to his classmates, before he even starts grabbing at them, they immediately call him "Grandpa".

That was a huge humiliation for him!

Li Zhiyuan is bullying people too much!

Yun Xiaoshan finally blocked Zhiyuan's path, her cheeks puffed out in anger, "Li Zhiyuan, why did you tell others about 'calling him grandpa'!"

Zhiyuan chuckled, "I didn't promise you I wouldn't tell."

"You..." Yun Xiaoshan was speechless, but it seemed that what he said was true; he really hadn't agreed...

"Besides, so what if you agreed? You never keep your word anyway. Didn't you promise to call me grandpa if you lost? Did you call me grandpa? If you didn't, why can't I? I'm going to tell everyone that you're a coward who doesn't keep his word! Nobody respects cowards!" Zhiyuan snorted.

"I'm not! I'm definitely not!" Yun Xiaoshan was furious. He was definitely not a coward!

"A coward is someone who doesn't keep their promise!"

Yun Xiaoshan burst into tears, "Li Zhiyuan, can't I agree to do something else instead?"

Zhiyuan thought for a moment, "Three items."

Yun Xiaoshan cried even harder, but then he thought that since he would have to call so many children "grandpa," it would be more worthwhile to agree to three things. "Three things it is!"

Zhiyuan said, "Don't bully Xiaoyuan, and don't take his things."

"Okay." Yun Xiaoshan held up two chubby fingers. "That makes two items."

"This is one."

"Can't you count?!" Yun Xiaoshan angrily counted on her fingers. "I didn't bully Zhu Xiaohai, I didn't steal his things, there are clearly two items!"

The boy with the round face is named Zhu Xiaohai, and Yun Xiaoshan knows that Zhiyuan calls him Xiaoyuan.

Zhiyuan refused, saying, "No, I mean one thing."

"You..." Yun Xiaoshan clenched his fists, "You're bullying me!"

"Does it take me or you to decide?" Zhiyuan scoffed. "Then you should just call me grandpa."

Yun Xiaoshan's arrogance immediately subsided. "Fine, fine, one thing is fine, you decide."

"I'll think of the other two later."

Yun Xiaoshan looked aggrieved and asked, "Then, what if they say they want me to call them grandpa again?"

“You’ve already used three things to turn that statement back on itself, so it won’t matter if they say it again,” Zhiyuan said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaoshan thought that was more like it. With a sullen face, he went back to his seat, feeling wronged.

Sure enough, when school let out in the afternoon, more people came to try the secret. When their parents came to pick them up, a boy even shouted at Yun Xiaoshan, "Call him Grandpa! Call him Grandpa!"

Yun Xiaoshan kept Zhiyuan's words in mind: those words have been changed, and he's not afraid of anyone saying them anymore.

So she snorted and ignored the boy.

The boy found it strange; why wasn't it working anymore?

So he shouted even louder, and his dad, who came to pick him up, slapped him on the shoulder, saying, "What are you yelling about? Who's going to call you grandpa? That's rude!"

The boy touched his bottom: I feel so wronged.

Zhiyuan watched and secretly found it amusing.

These past two days have taught him another lesson: when others look down on you, being afraid is useless, and hiding in a corner is even more useless; it will only make people want to bully you more. Only by becoming strong can you prevent yourself from being bullied.

Lin Qingping also came to pick him up.

Zhiyuan saw her from afar and ran towards her.

It's the weekend again.

This week, Zhiyuan was in a much better mood than before. When Lin Qingping asked him what he wanted to eat, he suddenly remembered the little round-faced girl who always gave him candy.

"Auntie...Mom..." She habitually started with "Auntie," but later changed it to "Mom." "Could you make some small candies that I can take to kindergarten?"

"sure!"

When Lin Qingping learned that he wanted to give the candy to the children at the kindergarten, she went to the candy factory the next day and bought some wrapping paper for the candy.

Gu Juncheng didn't come home this weekend, so Lin Qingping stayed home and made candy with Zhiyuan.

I made three kinds: chocolate toffee, hazelnut shortbread, and walnut gummies.

After all three types of candy had taken shape, Lin Qingping called Zhiyuan to the dining table, and Sister Zhao also came to help. The three of them cut the candy pieces together and then wrapped them up.

After being wrapped, they were piled up on the dining table in a huge heap.

Lin Qingping divided the food into several packets. One packet was given to Sister Zhao to take to her children at home, one packet was to be taken to school, and one packet was to be kept for Zhiyuan.

On Monday, Zhiyuan carried a bag full of candy to kindergarten.

Xiaoyuan arrived early in the morning and sat down with Zhiyuan, rummaging through her pockets.

This time, Zhiyuan took out one candy and gave it to him first, saying, "Xiaoyuan, I have some candy too, try mine."

"Really? For me?" Xiaoyuan was very happy. She took it and unwrapped it, only to find that it was a kind of candy she had never seen before!

He couldn't wait to put it in his mouth and try it, his eyes lighting up. "Li Zhiyuan, where did you buy this candy? It's so delicious! I've never had it before. Did you buy it from abroad?"

Zhiyuan shook his head. "No, my mother made it herself."

Xiao Yuan was even more shocked, "What! Zhiyuan, your mother can actually make candy? That's amazing!"

"What candy? What candy?" Soon, more children gathered around.

Xiao Yuan looked very proud. "It was Li Zhiyuan's mother who made the candy for him. It was so delicious!"

The children weren't very familiar with Zhiyuan, but some of the bolder ones tried saying, "Li Zhiyuan, can I have one?"

Zhiyuan generously gave one to each of the children around him.

A chubby hand reached out in front of me.

Zhiyuan looked up and saw Yun Xiaoshan.

Yun Xiaoshan didn't say anything, just looked sullen and stretched out his hand for candy, as if to say: Li Zhiyuan, why did you give them to them but not me? Although we've fought before, we're still more familiar with them than you are with them!

Zhiyuan didn't refuse and put a piece of candy into Yun Xiaoshan's chubby hand.

Yun Xiaoshan grumbled and peeled it open to take a bite. His expression clearly betrayed him—it was such a delicious candy!

But how could Yun Xiaoshan possibly admit defeat?

"Hmph! It's just so-so. What's so special about it? Have you never eaten anything good before? How can this be delicious?" Yun Xiaoshan snorted.

The little round-faced girl got upset. "If you don't like it, don't eat it! Spit it out! We don't have enough to eat!"

Upon hearing this, Zhiyuan took out another one and gave it to him, saying, "I still have enough."

Yun Xiaoshan looked at it and thought, "Huh? Why is the one given to Zhu Xiaohai different from the one given to him?"

Yun Xiaoshan slammed his hand on the chair. "Li Zhiyuan, how could you be biased towards him? Did you give him something better?"

"What I gave you was also delicious, and I've already eaten it! You're talking nonsense!" the little round-faced girl said angrily.

"I don't believe it! Yours must be tastier, otherwise, Li Zhiyuan, give me another one to try!" Yun Xiaoshan's chubby hand reached out again.

Zhiyuan finally understood. This guy didn't complain that the candy wasn't good! He clearly thought it was too delicious, which was why he was finding all sorts of ways to get more...

Zhiyuan satisfied him and gave him a walnut candy.

Yun Xiaoshan held it in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and only ate half of it. He wrapped the other half in candy wrapper and put it in his pocket.

Then, she rolled her eyes at Zhiyuan and said, "Hmph, it's not good, it's not good, you see? I couldn't eat another bite!"

Zhiyuan was speechless about this person.

But young Zhiyuan only saw through Yun Xiaoshan's gluttony, but could not foresee what consequences his giving away of candy would cause.

The next day, the kindergarten was bustling with activity again.

Because Yun Xiaoshan's mother came again...

This time, they'll not only cause trouble for the teacher, but also for Zhiyuan.

In the morning, just as the teacher was preparing for class, Yun Xiaoshan's seat was still empty, and the teacher had a bad feeling.

And her premonition was indeed correct.

Just as she finished her premonition, the classroom door was kicked open.

It was Yun Xiaoshan and his mother.

Yun Xiaoshan was dragged in by his mother. After barging in, Yun Xiaoshan's mother slammed half a piece of walnut candy in front of the teacher, saying, "How can your kindergarten give my son something like this?"
