Chapter 93.3

Editor: Nadralexe

Ye Shaoyun was actually still a senior at high school, so he was also carrying a backpack. If he had to carry Zhou Xu too, it would be quite tiring.

Ru Yu pulled on Zhou Xu’s hand and said, “Little Xu, be a good boy, don’t let Uncle Ye carry you, he still has to carry his backpack.”

Zhou Xu turned around and glanced at Ru Yu. Then he threw his hand away and grabbed onto Ye Shaoyun’s leg and said, “Hug me.”

Ye Shaoyun looked down at Zhou Xu’s soft look, looked at his big and hopeful eyes, and softened his heart. He bent down and picked him up. After picking him up, he couldn’t help but kiss Zhou Xu again.

Zhou Xu chuckled and kissed Ye Shaoyun back several times before they went for the stairs.

Ru Yu could just watch and couldn’t say anything. He didn’t know how to act like a baby, so he must work hard to gain Ye Shaoyun’s favor.

Following Ye Shaoyun silently, Ru Yu mused how he had to be even better and work even harder.

The kindergarten Zhou Xu went to was right next to the neighborhood in which he lived. There were not many students, and the teacher was pretty good too. It was also really convenient for Ye Shaoyun, a high school student.

In fact, Ye Shaoyun and his classmates still had morning study, but since he had to take care of Zhou Xu, the teacher gave him an exception and only asked him to arrive at the first period in time.

At the door of the kindergarten, Ru Yu respectfully greeted the kindergarten teacher, Ms. Juan, and then waved to Ye Shaoyun. “Bye, Uncle Ye!”

“Bye! Remember to behave yourself!”

“Mhm.”

Ye Shaoyu wanted to put Zhou Xu down, but Zhou Xu held his arms around his neck and didn’t let go. Ms. Juan stood on the side and smiled, “Xiao Xu is really going to miss his uncle, but don’t worry, you can see your uncle again tonight.”

All the teachers knew about the death of Zhou Xu’s parents and also knew that Ye Shaoyun was his uncle. So when talking with Zhou Xu, they would be extremely gentle and feel sympathetic for this poor child.

Ye Shaoyun placed his head against Zhou Xu’s and whispered, “Xiao Xu, you need to be a good boy and go to kindergarten. I also have to go to school. Let’s say goodbye for now.”

Ye Shaoyun’s voice was extremely soft and his eyes were full of spoiling love. Of course, this love was the love for a child.

Zhou Xu wasn’t trying to cause trouble. He just wanted Ye Shaoyun to know that in his heart, Ye Shaoyun was his world. This way, Ye Shaoyun would value him more, and when it was time for Ru Yu to go, he would stand by his side.

His dark eyes fixed on Ye Shaoyun and with his arm around his neck and said slowly, “Uncle, I love you very much.”

“I love you too, Xiao Xu.”

“I love you more. Although mom and dad are gone, they definitely want me and you to be together forever.”

Ye Shaoyun was taken back for a bit. Then he gently smiled and kissed Zhou Xu once more. “Mhm, we will. We will always be together.”

Zhou Xu nodded very firmly and replied, “We will.”

After that, Zhou Xu kissed Ye Shaoyun multiple times. On the left, on the right, then on the forehead and the eyes. Finally, he kissed Ye Shaoyun’s lips and said, “Goodbye, uncle.”

“Goodbye.”

Ru Yu, who was not too far away, could only look at him. The jealousy in his heart pinched his little heart. He also wanted Ye Shaoyun’s hug, he also wanted to kiss Ye Shaoyun, but he was too careful. He was too afraid that Ye Shaoyun wouldn’t want him anymore.

He knew very well that he was adopted by Ye Shaoyun. He didn’t have any relationship with Ye Shaoyun in the first place, and the so-called “adoption” only happened because he was clinging to Ye Shaoyun.

Yes, on that cold morning, Ye Shaoyun gave him a warm breakfast and made him, who have been homeless for dozens of days, very grateful. He would probably never forget that warmth in his life.

So the five-year-old him waited at the street that Ye Shaoyun would pass every day, and finally, one day, Ye Shaoyun brought him home.

On the day he got adopted, he was so happy that he had almost gone crazy. He did not remember his parents and relatives, but ever since that day, he had a relative, Ye Shaoyun.

Ru Ye thought

In fact, because the other guy was only four or five years old, Zhou Xu couldn’t do anything big to them, but he still knew how to put them together so that Ye Shaoyun could save some effort.

Then, the whole class danced the rabbit dance together. Zhou Xu raised his little chubby hands on his head and started jumping around with everyone else. With his obsidian-like eyes, he looked even more like a rabbit.

Ms. Juan laughed as she danced and Zhou Xu was beside her the whole time. After the first round of games was over, Zhou Xu let out a long sigh of relief. It wasn’t easy being a child.

He sat down and took out the cookies that Ye Shaoyun had prepared for him, but as soon as he took them out, Yang Lizheng snatched them away.

After Yang Lizheng took his cookies, he didn’t really mind. But he saw Yang Lizheng taking his cookies to Ru Yu.

In fact, Ru Yu also had his cookies, he just didn’t take them out. Seeing that Yang Lizheng got the cookies from Zhou Xu, Ru Yu actually started to eat them.

Since Ye Shaoyun wasn’t here, there was no need to act sensitive and careful. Anyway, he was older than Zhou Xu and much taller than him as well. So he was really relaxed in school.

Zhou Xu knew that there were cameras in kindergartens to prevent teachers from abusing children, but Zhou Xu could completely use this to his advantage.

Because he had his back facing the camera, Zhou Xu just lowered his head and pretended that he was very sad. He thought that if he did some editing, it might make him look even more depressing. Was this video necessary? Zhou Xu wasn’t sure either.

Ms. Juan passed a small box of yogurt to everyone as well. As soon as Zhou Xu got it, it was snatched away by Yang Lizheng again.

This time, Ms. Juan saw it. She squatted beside Yang Lizheng and said, “Xiao Zheng, it’s not nice to do this. Everyone gets their own, if you take him, then Xiao Xu wouldn’t have any. He will be hungry, right?”

“But Ru Yu said he didn’t eat breakfast, he is also hungry. Zhou Xu had his breakfast.” Yang LIzhen stubbornly replied to Ms. Juan. Ru Yu pulled on his hand from behind him, but Yang Lizheng looked at the teacher even more stubbornly.

Without any other choice, Ms. Juan went to get Zhou Xu another yogurt. After Zhou Xu got it, he looked at Ms. Juan for a long time before whispering, “Thank you, Ms. Juan.”

Zhang Sujuan suddenly felt sour in her heart. She and her older sister also lost their parents when they were a kid and grew up in an orphanage. Because of her, her sister didn’t even go to college. Seeing Zhou Xu being such a good child, she liked the child even more.

When everyone finished their yogurt, Zhou Xu was also pretty much done. After eating, everyone else went outside to play with the slides.

Ms. Juan came over, picked Zhou Xu up, and gently pinched his face. “Xiao Xu, don’t be sad, you still have your uncle and me. We’ll love you more.”

Zhou Xu smiled, and his round chubby face looked very cute. His big eyes were also slightly curved, which added a sense of innocence to his expression.

“Ms. Juan, ever since Ru Yu came to my family, I must work very hard. So that uncle will care about me and not only Brother Ru Yu.”

Zhang Sujuan felt even more uncomfortable when she heard it. She liked Zhou Xu many more times than Ru Yu, after all, she just met Ru Yu for a few days. At least for now, she was still on Zhou Xu’s side.

People always say that children are simple, but in fact, children also have their own troubles. Maybe adults find their troubles ridiculously childish and small, but this small trouble could be giant for the kids.

That afternoon, Zhou Xu successfully angered Ru Yu, and of course, the fuse was Ye Shaoyun.

They were playing a partner game, but Zhou Xu and Ru Yu didn’t want to have each other as partners. Just like that, the small conflict caused the two children to fight.

Ru Yu claimed that Zhou Xu was being a bad kid and Zhou Xu claimed that Ru Yu stole his uncle. Ru Yu said that the uncle was his, and Zhou Xu continued to argue that he shouldn’t be here in the first place. His uncle was his alone.

Ru Yu said one sentence, and Zhou Xu replied another. But Zhou Xu didn’t hit him first. After a while, Ru Yu became angry. He pushed Zhou Xu away and Zhou Xu tripped on the rock behind him. He fell and slammed his head against the ground. Suddenly, there was a bump on his head, the skin on his hand was rubbed off, and blood was coming out.

Zhou Xu’s eyes instantly became red. When Ms. Ju came, Ru Yu was pointing at Zhou Xu arrogantly and saying, “You’re a bad kid! If it wasn’t for uncle, I’d never come to your house.”

And Zhou Xu was on the ground with a bump on his head and blood on his hand. However, he didn’t cry. His eyes were just red and he bore the tears, not allowing them to fall down.

Seeing such an innocent appearance will pierce anyone’s heart at once, same for Ms. Juan. She worriedly picked Zhou Xu up and asked gently, “What happened?”
