Chapter 396: Chapter 396 - Childhood Sweetheart 3

When they went to school the next day, Chen Xiaopang stared at Zhao Ying as soon as he got in the car.

“Isn’t my face clean?” Zhao Ying touched her face. The thick bangs on her forehead shook.

Chen Xiaopang sat well and asked in a particularly reluctant tone, “Do you run fast?”

“Do I run fast?” Zhao Ying didn’t know why he asked. She confirmed and said, “I can run well.”

Chen Xiaopang thought that she was not good at running.

He thought so! Even if she ran fast but she was only five years old, how could she run faster than them who were at the age of eight? Feng Meixin wanted Zhao Ying to lead. She wanted to make Zhao Ying tired.

Chen Xiaopang thought about it all the way. He was upset. Zhao Ying thought quietly, “Is he embarrassed to say that he wants to compete with me?” So when she got off the car, Zhao Ying asked.

“Do you want to race with me?”

Chen Xiaopang’s eyes brightened. Yes! He could compete with Zhao Ying in advance. Then she would be tired and wouldn’t have to lead.

“Yes!” He said in a loud voice, “Let’s race in the last PE class. Don’t worry! I’ll run slowly and wait for you.”

Zhao Ying nodded forcefully with her small head, “Well, I’ll tell Uncle Chen that you care about your classmate.”

Chen Xiaopang is speechless.

So today, just as the PE teacher walked into the playground, he saw a little fat boy rush out.

“Teacher, I want to race with Zhao Ying.”

The PE teacher was very tall and strong. He was stunned.

“Which one is Zhao Ying?”

A smaller student ran out, “I am Zhao Ying!”

“Are you in Class 6, Grade 2?” The PE teacher looked at the child who just exceeded his knee and was stunned, “Are you the child of our school teacher?”

Feng Meixin raised her hand, “Teacher, she’s new to our class. She’s only five years old.”

“Ah, yes!” The PE teacher remembered that the headmaster had mentioned this matter in the meeting a few days ago. The child was small but she was good at learning and she was smart. So he also asked every teacher to pay attention to her. If the child had difficulties in school, they should take the initiative to help.

The PE teacher was a young man who just graduated from school. He looked at Chen Xiaopang strangely. Each teacher of Caesar was responsible for only one class. So the PE teacher recognized Chen Xiaopang.

“Chen Jinjin, you are a boy. It’s not appropriate for you to ask for a competition with a girl.” In fact, he wanted to say that it’s humiliating for an eight-year-old boy to bully a kindergarten girl.

“Although Zhao Ying is your classmate, she is younger than you. You can’t bully her.”

Chen Xiaopang was stunned. How did he bully her? He’s helping her!

“Well, let’s run around the playground for half a circle. Then we will learn to jump rope today.” The PE teacher didn’t have time to see Chen Xiaopang’s aggrieved face. He lined up the students.

At this time, Feng Meixin raised her hand again.

“Teacher, the commissary in charge of sports is uncomfortable. Zhao Ying runs fast. We can let Zhao Ying lead!”

The commissary in charge of sports blushed. He wanted to say he was all right but several of his female classmates were pinching him…

“Really?”

The PE teacher looked at him and saw that his face was really different from usual. He thought for a moment and said, “Zhao Ying is younger than all of you. How can she lead the way? Well! Chen Jinjin, didn’t you just want to run? Then you will lead the way today!”

Chen Xiaopang thought, “Who am I? Where am I?”

“Chen Jinjin?” The PE teacher called again.

Chen Xiaopang stood in front of the team sadly. With a whistle, he ran immediately. After running a few meters, he began to pant. Kang Liyang came up and helped him.

“Xiaopang, come on! You lead the way. If you are not the first, you will be left to clean the playground.”

Chen Xiaopang continued to run…

Chen Xiaopang was very tired. He gritted and kept running. Finally, he became the last in the class.

“How do I think you run so fast today?” Several boys sat on the edge of the playground to drink water. After resting, Chen Xiaopang asked, “You are definitely faster than usual!”

Kang Liyang wiped the sweat and said, “Because Zhao Ying runs very fast!”

“What?” Chen Xiaopang almost choked, “Does she run fast? How fast?”

Another student secretly put a piece of candy in his mouth, “Um… She runs very fast. She is No.1. We all run after her. We are so tired.”

“Is she No.1? Does she run very fast?” Chen Xiaopang couldn’t believe it.

Kang Liyang said dejectedly, “Didn’t you hear the teacher just said that we were not as fast as the child in the kindergarten?”

Zhao Ying found Chen Xiaopang strange all afternoon. He always secretly looked at her. When he was found, he would stare at her. He also ignored her on the way home from school.

“The teacher called me today!” When they had dinner, Wang Cailian was happy. She was in agony to have such a naughty son. Every time the teacher called to complain! Today the teacher praised!

The teacher praised Zhao Ying…

But Zhao Ying lived in her home. She was the child of her family!

“Your teacher said that Ying studies well and runs fast. Even Ying’s English pronunciation is very standard. Your teacher thanked me for sending such an excellent student to your school!”

Wang Cailian said happily and gave Zhao Ying a sweet and sour spare rib.

“Ying is great!” Chen Qing patted the table and roared, “Chen Jinjin! You should learn from Ying. You’ve eaten so much food. But you can’t even run faster than a girl, a sister younger than you.”

Chen Xiaopang looked at Zhao Ying with more ferocious eyes. Chen Qing found and patted his head, “What are you doing?”

“Uncle!” Seeing that Chen Xiaopang was going to cry, Zhao Ying hurried to say, “Xiaopang… Xiaopang is so good. He is so good to protect me from being bullied at school!”

Chen Xiaopang looked at Zhao Ying in a daze.

Wang Cailian knew her son so well. She squinted, “Really? Did you scare Ying to say something good for you?”

Chen Xiaopang cried out, “I… I didn’t scare her. I still helped her today. I was afraid she couldn’t run fast. As a result, she…”

Chen Qing patted him again, “You are a boy. How can you cry like a girl?”

Wang Cailian coughs and glares at him.

“I mean he’s crying like a little girl…” Chen Qing said and looked at Zhao Ying. He thought that something was wrong. Then he said, “How can a boy be like a little girl! It’s normal for little girls to cry, because that is beautiful.”

Chen Xiaopang, who was crying like a little girl beside him, didn’t know what to say.

“He’s really good!” Zhao Ying said again, “He’s a good classmate.”

Chen Qing and Wang Cailian felt that Zhao Ying couldn’t lie, so they were very satisfied. Chen Qing gave Chen Xiaopang more pocket money. Chen Xiaopang burst into laughter. When he was trying to show off to Zhao Ying, Chen Qing offered her twice as much money as his.

Chen Xiaopang is speechless.

“Uncle, I can’t take it.” Zhao Ying whispered, pushing the money back.

Wang Cailian smiled and put the money into Zhao Ying’s hand, “Just take it! This is the rule of our family. If you do well, you will be rewarded with pocket money. If you don’t do well, you will be beaten.”

“She’s not a member of our family…” Before he finished, Chen Xiaopang was covered by his father again.

Chen Qing was very rude to put his arm around Chen Xiaopang’s neck and drag him away.

“Come on! I’ll check your homework for you.”

Wang Cailian ignored them and hugged Zhao Ying. Zhao Ying was so cute in her arms.

But…

“Ying, tomorrow is Saturday. Let’s go shopping!”

Zhao Ying blinked, “Thank you, Auntie! But I have nothing to buy.”

“Ah! You have a lot of things to buy.” Wang Cailian touched her thick hair, “First of all, you should cut your hair!”

Chen Qing said a few days ago that Cong Fei had a bad life in the past two years. Zhao Ying’s father got cancer and he was treated for three or four years.

“She spent a lot of money and even sold the house.” Chen Qing took a smoke and sighed, “Why was she so strong? Why did she refuse to contact us? We could help her.”

“No wonder she promised Zhao Ying to come to our house. She had no way.” Wang Cailian also sighed, “When she left, she said to give me 5,000 yuan a month. I will save it for her later.”

Wang Cailian reminds her husband, “Don’t tell her about Ying’s tuition fees. I lied to her that Ying was smart and had good grades, so the school gave her tuition free.”

Caesar did have such a system. But only high school students could enjoy it.

“Don’t worry! I know.”

Chen Xiaopang slept until ten o’clock at the weekend and went downstairs to find something to eat. He saw his father playing games with his mobile phone in the living room.

“Dad, where is Mom?” He didn’t ask where the ugly girl had gone. He was not satisfied that she had more pocket money than he did!

Chen Qing didn’t raise his head and said, “She went shopping with Ying. We will order takeout at noon.”

There was no cook in the Chen Family. The house maid was only responsible for cleaning. Because Wang Cailian was good at cooking, Chen Qing was used to her cooking. He was not used to other people’s cooking.

“What am I going to eat now?” Chen Xiaopang went around the kitchen and found only milk.

“You should either be hungry or eat fruit.” Chen Qing took a look at him, “Why didn’t you get up in the morning? Your mother made pancakes this morning.”

“Where are the pancakes?” Chen Xiaopang asked.

“Oh, I was just hungry and I ate the rest two.”

Chen Xiaopang is speechless.

“Dad, when Grandpa and Grandma come in the summer vacation, I’ll tell them.” Chen Xiaopang sat down on the opposite sofa with an aggrieved face, “I will tell them that you beat me all the time and still don’t give me a meal.”

Chen Qing won the game, put down his mobile phone and laughed at his son, “You are so brave! You dare to threaten your father.”

Chen Xiaopang pursed and said nothing.

“Since it is so!” Chen Qing sighed, “I wanted to order lobster for you at noon. But now I want to order one kilogram pickled cabbage dumplings with meat.”

“Dad! Dad! You’re the best father in the world. I won’t tell them! I won’t tell them!”

Wang Cailian came back in the evening. She was carrying many kinds of bags. Even the driver was carrying a pile of bags.

When Chen Xiaopang was about to ask if she had bought him a gift, he saw a little girl coming out from behind Wang Cailian.

The little girl was wearing a pink sweater skirt and a small rabbit hairpin on her soft and short hair. She was looking at him with her round and big eyes.

“Dad! Dad, come here! My mother’s taking another child back!”
