The parents all stopped talking and reached over to look. Teacher Xiao Lin told Yan Shuyu, âYuanbaoâs class is more toward the back today. He should be out in the fifth or sixth batch.â
Yes, kids at the kindergarten lined up by class when they left school at the end of the day. It was important to start young when it came to teaching kids to follow orders.
Yan Shuyu, with the reminder, stopped rushing. She casually watched kiddo after kiddo running out of the kindergarten. Efficiency was high when everybody lined up properly. It was Zhang Yuanjiaâs class before long.
Little kiddo Zhang Yuanbao was so excited when he saw his mother with his little buddy, whom he had missed so much, here to pick him up. Unlike his usual steady and reliable self at school, he ran all the way up to them. His eyes beamed as he ran toward his mother. âMom, youâve picked Xiao Yi up so early! Was it just so you can pick me up together?â
As much as Yan Shuyu enjoyed taking credit, she wasnât about to take the bossâs credit. She told him honestly, âNo, my plan was to go pick up Xiao Yi with you, but Uncle Zhou had it all planned out and had Xiao Yi dropped off at the coffee shop.â
Zhang Yuanjia didnât say anything else as he ran straight toward his little buddy and gave him a big hug. âThank you, Xiao Yi.â
Judging from the little male leadâs iceberg style, it wasnât difficult to figure out that he didnât have a lot of friends, much less close physical contacts with those of similar age. Even though he still has his normal expressionless look, his cheeks had turned pink and he tried very hard to shake his head calmly. âNo problem.â
The two cute little boys held hands and attracted a lot of attention from the parents around them. Yan Shuyuâs head got even bigger. She clapped her hands proudly and said, âAlright, get inside the car, boys. Letâs head back to Sunshine House.â
Yan Shuyu walked back toward the bossâs luxurious car with the two kids in tow.
Seeing the car from afar and the strange uncle who was smiling at them next to the car, Zhang Yuanjia looked surprised and his steps became hesitant. âWhoâs that?â
Xiao Yi was very concise. âUncle Zhang.â
Yan Shuyu didnât turn around to look at them, but she did add, âDo you have any idea how difficult it will be for me to take care of both of you at the same time? Luckily, Uncle Zhou had it all thought out and sent the car. That made my life much easier.â
Zhang Yuanjia felt much better after hearing that from his mother. When he got closer to the car, sure enough, he saw the two familiar-looking childrenâs car seats and felt even happier. Uncle Zhou had, indeed, arranged it so that they could hang out together. Satisfied, Zhang Yuanbao thrusted out his chest and took the lead in climbing into his own seat.
Now that the two kiddos had gotten together, Yan Shuyuâs job was done. She was popular among the kids and they enjoyed being around her, but it was also important for them to have friends of their own age. The two kids were quite content being in the backseat, talking in their kidsâ language, and playing silly little games. Yan Shuyu was happy that she didnât need to do much. When they got back to the coffee shop, she dropped the two off into the office and changed back into her work clothes, feeling carefree.
Perhaps he was doing it for the little male lead or that Manager Yang was just a nice guy through and through, when they were about to have the shop-provided dinner, he said to Yan Shuyu, âDonât bother having the shop-provided dinner today. Stay at the front today. When the rest of them are finished eating, you can take off early and get some good food with the kids.â
Yan Shuyu looked at the time. It would take her buddies another half an hour or so to finish eating. That would mean that she could take off around 6 PM. There was nothing to complain about. âOh, okay. I will take off early today then.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yang Zifeng teased her with a smile. âIf you can kidnap the little young master every day, Iâll let you get off early every day.â
âIn your dreams.â Yan Shuyu sneered proudly.
