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

Xiaomai wasn't feeling well that day; Sister Zhao said it was because she caught a cold.

She only ate two bites of the noodles in the morning and then refused to eat any more, so Lin Qingping told her to take some pastries to the kindergarten to eat.

I brought her something sweet and sour because I was worried she wouldn't have a good appetite.

The kindergarten is currently focusing its main efforts on rehearsing for the Children's Day program, and the program that Zhiyuan's class will be performing this time is Zhiyuan's martial arts.

Originally, the teacher planned to include this program in the New Year's celebration, but there wasn't enough time then. The rehearsal time was too short, and the children in the class couldn't practice it well in a short time. However, the teacher really liked Zhiyuan's spirit and energy when he practiced his boxing, so he had Zhiyuan lead the children in practice every day before class.

Actually, I haven't practiced any really hard skills, just some moves, not much different from doing calisthenics. After practicing for the past six months, I've made great progress. Anyway, I've got the moves, and I'm ready to perform on stage.

That morning, it was time for Zhiyuan to lead everyone in practicing boxing again.

Because Xiaomai wasn't feeling well, Zhiyuan raised his hand and asked the teacher for leave, letting Xiaomai watch from the side.

Xiaomai, holding pastries in her hand, sat by the flower bed, watching Zhiyuan lead the way with his fists, and thought Zhiyuan was really impressive.

However, she was so engrossed in watching that her hand suddenly went empty as the pastry was snatched away.

She looked up and saw that the person who snatched the pastries was Yun Xiaoshan!

Speaking of kindergarten programs, the whole class usually performs on stage together, and Xiaomai is supposed to participate too. However, Xiaomai has a cold today, so she is taking a break for now, but Yun Xiaoshan is an exception.

It was simply because the teacher was genuinely afraid of Yun Xiaoshan's mother.

I remember when the children were in kindergarten, they were practicing a dance. Because there was a move involving rolling on the ground, Yun Xiaoshan's mother saw it during rehearsal and immediately rushed out, criticizing the teacher for designing such a move for the children. She said the ground was dirty and had so many germs!

Coincidentally, Yun Xiaoshan had diarrhea for a few days, and Yun Xiaoshan's mother immediately found the cause: rolling on the ground, getting bacteria on her hands, and then eating, which caused Yun Xiaoshan to have diarrhea!

Incredible...

That time, the kindergarten compensated for the medical expenses and nutrition costs before settling the matter.

Therefore, in all subsequent performances, the teacher learned from this experience and would always first tell Yun Xiaoshan's mother what the program was like and whether Yun Xiaoshan would participate.

Normally, Yun Xiaoshan would participate in choral singing, but she would basically not participate in dance or similar activities.

Yun Xiaoshan's mother's tone: What kind of dance does our Xiaoshan need to learn? Dance? That's for others to watch and entertain! Who does our Xiaoshan need to entertain? Our Xiaoshan studies classical music!

Therefore, Liu Yan has always looked down on kindergarten group activities. This time, the teacher also informed Liu Yan about the martial arts performance, but Liu Yan still said the same thing: she would not participate.

But this time, Yun Xiaoshan disobeyed his mother and insisted on participating, causing a scene at home several times.

Liu Yan later came up with a compromise: That's right! Why should other children get to participate in group activities while her child can only watch? Xiaoshan wants to participate too! Of course, not their martial arts! We'll have classical music! Xiaoshan will give a violin solo!

Originally, each class was only allowed one performance, which was a huge headache for the teachers. They went to the principal to ask for help, and after thinking it over, the principal made an exception and gave their class an extra spot to perform an additional program—Yun Xiaoshan's violin solo.

Strangely, the teachers from the other classes didn't have any objections either.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that Yun Xiaoshan's parents had requested it...

That's alright then, let's go...

So, while all the other classes were busy rehearsing their programs, Yun Xiaoshan became a free man.

Because no one can tutor him on the violin! His mother said that Yun Xiaoshan's violin lessons are taught by master-level teachers, whose level is beyond the reach of kindergarten teachers.

Xiaomai never expected that Yun Xiaoshan would come to steal her pastries.

Xiaomai knew a little about the connection between the Yun family and Zhiyuan when she was in Gujia Village, but after Grandpa Yun returned to the capital, Xiaomai never saw him again.

Zhiyuan had only visited the Yun family twice, but those two visits, along with the chaos caused by Yun Xiaoshan's mother's appearance at the kindergarten, were enough to create a distance between young Zhiyuan and the Yun family.

He didn't tell Xiaomai the details of the Yun family's affairs, but he seriously warned her several times: don't have anything to do with Yun Xiaoshan, stay away from Yun Xiaoshan, and if Yun Xiaoshan tries to provoke her, run to his side immediately!

Xiaomai had always kept Zhiyuan's instructions in mind, but what could she do now that Yun Xiaoshan had taken her pastries? Zhiyuan was leading everyone in practicing boxing, and she couldn't disturb them.

Wheat came to the capital from the countryside, just like a fledgling bird entering a vast forest for the first time, filled with awe and fear, cautious in everything she did. Now, with this unexpected situation, she is a little at a loss.

She stood by the flower bed for a while, hesitated for a long time, and then decided that she didn't want the pastry anymore and would give it to Yun Xiaoshan.

However, just as she was about to give up, Yun Xiaoshan poked his head out from behind the flower bed again, "Xiaomai, do you still want your pastries?"

The hand holding the pastry was waving back and forth.

Xiaomai glanced at him but ignored him.

"Xiaomai, Xiaomai, come here, I'll give you the pastries." Yun Xiaoshan continued to stick out her tongue and shake the pastries.

Xiaomai is very timid, a trait she developed from growing up at her grandmother's house. Because she is a girl, her grandmother doesn't like her, and instead, the boys from her grandmother's relatives are more favored. Now, they're even going to give her father away to someone else.

However, she also had Gu Youlian's stubbornness in her bones. She kept ignoring Yun Xiaoshan, but Yun Xiaoshan kept provoking her. She got angry and jumped up to walk towards Yun Xiaoshan.

"What are you going to do?" Wheat asked.

Yun Xiaoshan placed her pastries in his palm, saying, "Call me brother, and I'll give the pastries back to you."

Whether it was because Xiaomai had practiced kung fu with Zhiyuan for a while and was exceptionally agile, or because Yun Xiaoshan was careless, or because Yun Xiaoshan was fat and slow to react, in any case, Xiaomai impatiently snatched the pastry from Yun Xiaoshan's hands.

Yun Xiaoshan was stunned, staring at his palm with disbelief in his eyes.

Xiaomai ignored him, snatched the pastries back, and planned to go back to watch Zhiyuan and the others practice boxing. However, Yun Xiaoshan grabbed her clothes.

"Yun Xiaoshan, what exactly do you want?" Xiaomai tugged at her clothes a few times, but Yun Xiaoshan held them tightly and she couldn't get them out.

Yun Xiaoshan scoffed, "You like pastries? Let me tell you, I have some super delicious foreign pastries, do you want some?"

wheat:? ?

Xiaomai couldn't believe her ears. Yun Xiaoshan would give her pastries?

"No!" She wasn't greedy at all! Her aunt's pastries were delicious!
