“Children, please be quiet. Today, we have a new friend joining us. Let’s give them a round of applause!” the young kindergarten teacher said with a smile to the children.
The large classroom was occupied by only a dozen or so children, all of whom stared wide-eyed at their teacher, waiting for their new classmates to arrive.
“Yuanyuan, come here quickly and introduce yourself to everyone.” The teacher waved to a cute little boy.
The little boy seemed a bit shy. He was wearing a white sweater and a sky-blue scarf. His fair face still had a bit of baby fat, making him look very cute. In particular, his big, round eyes seemed to sparkle like stars.
“Hello everyone, my name is Xia Yuan, you can call me Yuanyuan.” The clear, sweet voice rang out in the classroom, and at that moment, all the children seemed to see a little angel.
“Yuanyuan will be attending classes here with everyone from now on. Would anyone like to sit with Yuanyuan?” the teacher asked with a smile.
Almost all the children raised their hands, eager to have the little angel sit next to them.
The teacher was very pleased and led Xia Yuan to a little boy, saying, “Xiao Kai, you are a year older than Yuan Yuan, so you have to take good care of your little brother.”
“Okay.” Yang Zekai replied blankly. That was the first time he had seen Xia Yuan. Like other children, he thought he had seen an angel, and the little angel was sitting right next to him, which made him feel incredibly proud. So much so that in the future, whenever other children wanted to play with Xia Yuan, Yang Zekai would try his best to stop them, because in his heart, the little angel belonged to him alone.
The school bell rang, signaling that everyone had to go home and find their mothers. Yang Zekai watched Xia Yuan carefully packing his schoolbag and felt a little melancholy. He wouldn’t see him again until tomorrow, but it was only afternoon now, and there was still a whole night before school started tomorrow. It was such a long time.
This was the first time Yang Zekai had been so eager to go to school. However, he never expected that when he saw the lovely Yuanyuan again, it wouldn’t be a long night.
When he opened his front door and saw the chubby little boy standing outside, he thought he was hallucinating. He blurted out, without even realizing it, “Little angel, did you come to my house to see me?”
“Hello, Brother Xiaokai. These are desserts my mom made. She asked me to bring them to you.” Xia Yuan stood outside the door with a smile, holding a box of pastries.
“Oh my, it’s Xiao Yuanyuan! Come in quickly, Xiao Kai, go get some candy for Yuanyuan.” When Yang’s mother saw that it was Xia Yuan, she hurriedly pulled her in, smiling gently, while Yang Zekai was called to get the candy.
“Auntie, my mom asked me to bring these. These desserts are so delicious.” Xia Yuan stared at the desserts in the box, secretly swallowing her saliva. They looked so tempting, but her mom said they were for the neighbor auntie and she couldn’t eat them.
Mother Yang naturally noticed Xia Yuan’s little eyes and was immediately charmed. She took out a dessert and handed it to Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan’s eyes lit up immediately when he saw the dessert, but his expression was a little conflicted because his mother said it was for the new neighbor.
“Little Yuanyuan, don’t be shy, Auntie is treating you.” Mother Yang really wanted to hug him and give him a good squeeze. This child was just too cute and adorable. If only her son were half as cute as Yuanyuan.
Yang Zekai, who came out with candy, had no idea what his mother was thinking. He watched as Xia Yuan took a piece of dessert and ate it in small bites, his face full of satisfaction, like a little hamster. He silently made a mental note of Xia Yuan’s love for desserts.
Later, Yang Zekai learned from his mother that Xia Yuan’s family were new neighbors who had moved in. That was why Xia Yuan appeared at his kindergarten and suddenly showed up at his door at night. This realization made Xiao Kai very happy because it meant he could see Yuanyuan anytime, anywhere, and go to kindergarten with him. The little angel would then truly belong to him.
The next day, Yang Zekai got up before his mother woke him up, which surprised her a little.
“Xiao Kai has really grown up. He gets up without Mommy calling him. He’s so good.” Mother Yang was very pleased.
However, Yang Zekai ignored his mother and was thinking that he would be able to go to kindergarten with Yuanyuan soon and see Yuanyuan all day long. Thinking about this, he became very happy and drank a whole bowl of porridge for breakfast, which was more than he usually ate. His mother praised him again.
After finishing his meal, Yang Zekai went out to wait for his mother. His gaze was fixed on the entrance of the villa across the street. When he saw the gate open and a small figure being led out by an adult, Yang Zekai became a little anxious.
“Mommy, hurry up!” Yang Zekai shouted to his mother, who was still changing clothes.
“Xiao Kai, you usually don’t seem to care much about going to school, so why are you so eager to go today?” Mother Yang asked, puzzled.
“Mommy, hurry up!” Yang Zekai didn’t answer his mother’s question and kept urging her on.
“Okay, I’m coming.” Mrs. Yang hurriedly came out and saw Mother Xia leading Xia Yuan across the street. She smiled and waved to them.
“What a coincidence, are you taking Yuanyuan to school?” “I also need to take my son Xiao Kai to school, why don’t we go together?” Mother Yang said to Mother Xia in a very familiar manner.
“Okay,” Mother Xia readily agreed.
So, Yang Zekai, who got up early, ate early, and waited early, finally got his wish and went to kindergarten with Xia Yuan.
However, before he could be smug for long, when he arrived at the classroom, the other children immediately surrounded Xia Yuan, putting things they were holding onto his desk.
“Yuanyuan, this is chocolate my mom bought for me. It’s so delicious, please have some,” a child said, showing off his prize.
Xia Yuan’s big, round eyes suddenly lit up as he stared intently at the chocolate, which looked delicious.
“Can I really eat this?” Xia Yuan’s voice, still carrying a childlike quality, rang out.
“Mmm, here you go.” The little boy blushed as soon as Xia Yuan looked at him, and handed over the whole box of chocolates to Xia Yuan, completely forgetting that he hadn’t even eaten one yet.
“Thank you.” Xia Yuan immediately offered a sweet smile, which made all the children around her swoon. They immediately gave away all their snacks, just to see the sweet smile on Xia Yuan’s face.
Before long, Xia Yuan’s table was piled high with all kinds of snacks, and a satisfied smile appeared on Xia Yuan’s face. The children around him also showed expressions of delight.
Yang Zekai was furious at the sight. These brats dared to bypass him to find Yuanyuan and even tempted him with so many sweets. It was simply unforgivable!
Yang Zekai squeezed through the children surrounding Xia Yuan, then found a large shopping bag and stuffed all the snacks on the table into it.
“Brother Xiao Kai?” Xia Yuan looked at Yang Zekai’s actions with confusion.
“These are all sweets, which are bad for your teeth. You can’t eat so many at once, so I’ll keep them for you.” Yang Zekai said this matter-of-factly, which drew dissatisfaction from many of the children.
Yang Zekai was a year older and taller than the other children. Standing there, he glared at the others and exuded a sense of authority. He then said to the others, “From now on, you are not allowed to feed Yuanyuan sweets. Don’t you know that sweets can cause cavities? Do you want Yuanyuan to lose all his teeth?”
After being fooled by Yang Zekai, the children immediately pictured Xia Yuan without teeth in their minds, and they turned pale with fright, shaking their heads in unison.
Yang Zekai was satisfied with their reaction, so he continued, “Yuanyuan, if you want to eat something, come over here and I’ll get it for you, but you can’t eat too much, okay?”
“Oh, thank you, Brother Xiao Kai.” Xia Yuan said with a smile, thinking to himself that Brother Xiao Kai was such a good person; such a big bag of snacks would definitely last a long time.
So, Yang Zekai used all the snacks that the other children contributed to do favors, and he even tricked Xia Yuan into coming to him every day.
The other children found it a little strange, but seeing Xia Yuan’s always happy smile, their odd feelings dissipated. As long as they could see the little angel smiling at them, that was enough.
After school in the afternoon, Yang Zekai started pestering his mother to teach him how to make desserts.
“Xiao Kai, why are you suddenly interested in this? Don’t you dislike desserts? And even if you do like desserts, Mommy can make them for you. You’re still too young. It’s too dangerous to make these things,” said Mother Yang. “I just want to make them myself,” Yang Zekai insisted, thinking about what had happened during the day.
He knew Xia Yuan liked desserts, and to prevent him from being lured away by others with desserts, he decided that he would feed him desserts himself from now on, so that he wouldn’t eat the ones given to him by others.
Besides, no dessert bought from someone else could taste as good or be as nutritious as one made at home.
Therefore, Yang Zekai’s decision at this moment set him on a path of no return in making delicious food, which also created his excellent cooking skills, making Xia Yuan’s stomach unable to do without Yang Zekai.
One had to say, young man, you had truly grasped a profound truth: to win someone’s heart, you must first win their stomach. Although you didn’t understand the meaning of this saying yet, it would greatly help you in the future.
I’m so happy we’re getting a peak at Yang Zekai and Xia Yuan’s past!
