Who was More Miserable? (1)
It was so strange.
Yu Qingshi had always come to school more punctually than her. He was not deterred by wind nor rain. Today was not the weekend, so why was he not at school? Could he have overslept?
Jiang Xiaoman decided for a little while longer.
She held candies in her hand, and she struggled to refrain from eating them, but she still had to save them for Yu Qingshi. If he came after she ate them, how would she win him over?
Jiang Xiaoman suppressed her desire to eat the candies. She waited and waited, but even at noon, he had not arrived.
Xiaoman understood now that Yu Qingshi was absent today.
At that time, the children were all taking a nap, but she couldnât sleep because her mind was full of all kinds of thoughts. So, she ran to the teacherâs office.
âTeacher Yang, why is Yu Qingshi not coming to the kindergarten today?â she asked.
âOh, him. He has something at home. His father already called to ask for an excused absence. He is not coming today,â Teacher Yang answered.
âAhâ¦okay.â Xiaoman forcefully held back her disappointment and left the office.
Could she still run away from home?
Jiang Xiaoman felt that her plan was going to die before fruition. She could not carry it out anymore and make Grandma understand her.
Why was she so unlucky?
Jiang Xiaoman angrily ate the candies. They were very delicious. She wanted to eat more after eating them and almost couldnât stop herself from exchanging more points for them.
The system tried to lure her by saying, âHost, this candy is delicious. If you still want to eat some, I can give them to you for free, as long as ââ
âNo!â Jiang Xiaoman refused very firmly. âDo you think Iâm a fool? Grandma said that I should not take other peopleâs things easily. Youâre not going to fool me!â
ââ¦â Why was she always smarter than her age in such strange aspects?!
The system was too angry to speak.

In the evening, school ended.
Right now, Jiang Xiaoman was still thinking about how to sneakily run away from home. Soon, Grandma would come to pick her up. Xiaoman didnât want to go with her.
Xiaoman wanted to let Grandma know that she was not that easily coaxed!
However, the one who unexpectedly came to pick her up was not Jiang Xiumei but Jiang Xing.
âUncle!â Xiaomanâs milky voice could not hold back its happiness when she saw him. At first, she was overjoyed, then her mouth flattened, and she started to cry. âYou donât know, do you? I got spanked when you were not home yesterday.â
ââ¦â¦â
Was that not a normal occurrence?
Jiang Xing perfunctorily coaxed her, then picked her up and left.
The way they went was not home.
Jiang Xiaoman strangely said, âUncle, are you unable to stand Grandma anymore, and taking me to run away from home?â
âLittle girl, what nonsense are you saying?â Jiang Xing said. âWeâre going to see your little friend.â
âIs he troubled again?â Jiang Xiaoman, who had experienced it before, asked.
âYes.â
âNo wonder he didnât come to kindergarten today,â Jiang Xiaoman sighed heavily. âHe can skip school when he feels troubled.â
ââ¦â Jiang Xing laughed angrily and fiercely glared at her.
Yu Qingshiâs problem was really pitiful.
When his syndrome didnât act up, he was just like a normal person. He was even smarter and more obedient than Xiaoman. But once he was stimulated, no kind of treatment would work. Even Gods and Buddhas would find it hard to help him.
âCoax him like last time, understand? Boss Yu is almost crying right now.â
âOkay. Poor Uncle Yu.â
When they arrived at the Yu familyâs house, the sky had turned completely dark.
This time there was no mess or food scattered on the floor, only silence.
But there was also an old couple next to Yu Wencheng.
This grandpa and grandma were Yu Qingshiâs grandparents. Because the problem this time was too big, both of them also came here.
During the weekend, Yu Qingshiâs mother called from the mental hospital, saying that she wanted to meet her child.
