580: The Ever Popular Xiao Ye
Little Bun lived very comfortably at the assistant principal’s residence. The assistant principal loved him very much and the senior brothers and sisters worked as full-time babysitters. He ate nutritious and delicious food made specially by the third-floor cafeteria chef every day.
Despite living the good life, Little Bun wasn’t completely happy. His mother had been gone nearly half a month – so long! Little Bun loved his mother even if she was irresponsible and constantly disappeared.
“Xiao Ye, you’re running around again.” Teresa, a seventh year, walked up behind Xiao Ye with helpless expression. She reached down and scooped the little guy up in a hug.
Xiao Ye was hefty from all the good eating and quality sleeping he had since being born. His cute, puffy, white cheeks were so tender they melted everyone’s hearts.
Xiao Ye knew Theresa was his current babysitter so he didn’t resist and obediently stayed still when she reached down to pick him up.
All the high achieving students on campus with a decent character basically worked as his babysitter. Xiao Ye was familiar with the aunties and uncles who watched him so he never ran away from them.
“The assistant principal asked a bunch of us to go searching as soon as he discovered you were missing. You’re the only little kid in school who gets so much face.” Theresa scratched the little guy’s nose and smiled helplessly.
“Go and play. Xiao Ye wants to go out and play.” Little Buns’ soft sweet and adorable voice was so cute.
Theresa couldn’t help stealing a kiss on Little Bun’s face. This little guy was too cute! How did Feng Wu give birth to such a cutie?!
Theresa couldn’t refuse. She held Little Bun and thought for two seconds before saying, “Well this senior sister doesn’t have anything to do today, so we can go shopping together.”
“Auntie Theresa, you are so kind.” Little Bun’s spoke excitedly.
Auntie. . . Theresa felt ten thousand bolts hit her. She was in her early twenties OK? How could she be called an auntie?!
“I say, Xiao Ye. We need to talk. How about in the future you call me Sister Theresa?” Theresa contacted the assistant principal and told him her plans to take Little Bun as they walked.
Little Bun shook his head and blinked his big eyes. His voice was soft and sweet when he said, “No, Mother said I can’t be a rude child. Auntie, you are older than Mother, if I call you sister, others will think you are pretending to be young.”
Bam! Straight through the heart. Theresa would have fallen to the ground and vomited blood had she not been holding him.
To say she was pretending to be young. . . she really was young OK?! How was this her pretending? Theresa wailed in her heart.
“But I’m only in my early twenties. If you call me auntie, people will think I’m very old.” Theresa said pitifully.
This little guy. . . how did Feng Wu teach him? He could shoot critical hits at such a young age and he was so hard to fool too.
“Auntie Theresa, you are twenty years older than Xiao Ye, how can Auntie be considered a sister?” Little Bun was not affected by Theresa’s pitiful appearance at all. He gave her an angelic smile while using words like daggers.
Theresa was at a loss. What could she say to such logic? Unable to change his mind, she resolutely shut up to save herself from being angry.
She carried Little Bun all the way out of school. Along the way the little guy scored countless delicious snacks and his pink face was kissed and pinched by countless girls as they walked.
“Xiao Ye, why don’t you come to play in our class today?” This came from a fourth year.
“Xiao Ye, Big Sister made you some snacks. If you like them, let me know and I’ll bring more next time.” Another girl had run over and stuffed a sack of snacks into his hands.
Of course, Little Bun couldn’t carry the heavy sack of food so he immediately stuffed it into his space storage.
“Xiao Ye, do you want to play with this brother? Do you want to eat at the student cafeteria together? They have your favorite creamy mushroom soup.”
Creamy mushroom soup?! Little Bun’s eyes lit up. He liked this dish very much. The cafeteria would make it every now and again because he loved to eat it.
Who knows if it was because he was the elf king in his previous life, but despite his memories not awakening, he still preferred to eat vegetarian dishes. He didn’t hate meat, but he didn’t like it much.
Little Bun was the complete opposite of Feng Wu who loved to gorge on meat.
Little Bun thought about it but he didn’t want to give up on playing outside. “Thank you uncle, but I can’t go with you today. Let’s try another day. I’ve already made an appointment with Auntie Theresa to play outside so I’ll eat out later.”
He had been stuck on campus for half a month and had done nearly a full circuit of the entire campus since his mother was away.
He was obviously a little toddler but he spoke like a mini adult. Combined with his serious face, it really melted the heart.
“Wow! So cute!”
“How can you be so cute?!”
“I really want to take Xiao Ye home with me!”
“I’ll be satisfied if I can have a cute child like Xiao Ye!”
“Xiao Ye, I’ll like you even more if you stop calling me uncle.” This came from the brother who made the lunch invitation.
Seeing the helpless look on his face made Theresa feel so much better. Sure enough, seeing others be put in a hole made her feel less unlucky. It was like being unfortunate, but then feeling better because you met someone even more unfortunate than you.
After saying farewell to everyone who had gathered around and shared their candies and snacks, Theresa and Xiao Ye finally left through the school gate.
The old man watching the gate also gave Xiao Ye a big fruit. As for Theresa, probably because she wasn’t as cute, nothing was given.
It was the first time Theresa felt unattractive. The group of juniors and seniors just now had also paid her no mind. All their attention was focused on Little Bun. It wasn’t that she was unpretty, it was just Little Bun was so eye catching. Or so Theresa tried to console herself.
Theresa carried Little Bun to the street where they played tricks for children to watch. Then she took him to eat some delicious food suitable for his age. Little Bun, finally stuffed and feeling satisfied, agreed to go back to campus.
