Love So Sweet

Chapter 46: [Bonus chapter]Are You Surprised?

A beautiful smile bloomed on her face. “Brother Zhen Yu, what do you think? Do I look good in this uniform?”

Mu Zhen Yu gave her another look over. He was not mistaken. The clothes Xiao Li Xue was wearing were indeed their school uniform.

The little girl laughed happily when she saw Mu Zhen Yu’s expression. She wanted to give her friend a surprise and she had successfully surprised Mu Zhen Yu.

“Aren’t you supposed to be at the kindergarten?”

“Brother Zhen Yu, I’m skipping a year,” Zhang Li Xue told him. “A while ago, my parents let me take the test. The school said that I can begin to enter school beginning this year. Brother Zhen Yu, are you surprised?”

Mu Zhen Yu’s eyes widened. Then, he slowly nodded.

He was not expecting that it would be like this. His heart was filled with happiness.

.....

Zhang Li Xue was a year younger than him. Last year, he did not get to see her as much as he liked despite being in the same kindergarten.

Now that they were in the same year, he could see her more.

Mu Zhen Yu’s eyes lit up as he realized something.

Since the girl had passed the test, then, she should be in his class as well, right?

“Xiao Li Xue, which class are you in?”

The little girl reported her class and she could see Mu Zhen Yu smiling happily.

“Then, we will be in the same class,” Mu Zhen Yu said. His lips could not stop smiling. “Xiao Li Xue, you can stay with me. I will protect you.”

“Un.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. “Thank you, Brother Zhen Yu.”

Mu Zhen Yu stretched his hand, wanting to stroke the little girl’s head. However, his movement halted the moment he sensed the oppressing air around him.

The little boy looked up and saw that Zhang Li Xue’s father was around. Instinctively, Mu Zhen Yu retracted his arms. His smile stiffened. “Uncle Zhang. Hello.”

Zhang Yu Han stared at the boy unhappily. Then, his gaze shifted to the arm that was about to touch his daughter.

“Daddy, Brother Zhen Yu said we will be in the same class,” Zhang Li Xue reported.

Instantly, Zhang Yu Han’s face turned another shade darker. He often see this little boy around his daughter and he did not like it. Zhang Yu Han wanted to stop this boy from being too close to his daughter. However, that would only make his wife unhappy. Li Qin Yao had often said that it was important for Li Xue to make a lot of friends.

“That’s good.” Li Qin Yao spoke. She turned to the boy and smiled. “Zhen Yu, I hope that you can help us to look after Li Xue. She will be the youngest among the students and I’m worried that someone would bully her.”

Mu Zhen Yu’s expression changed.

As compared to Zhang Li Xue’s father, his mother was much nicer.

“Auntie, I will look after Xiao Li Xue and would not let anyone bully her.”

“Thank you, Zhen Yu.”

Zhang Li Xue’s parents accompanied her until it was time for the children to enter their class.

Seeing that the little girl had someone who will look after her, the Zhang couple was no longer worried to leave their daughter at school.

Zhang Li Xue waved her hands happily as she watched her parents and younger aunt leave the school. After school, she will still see them. Therefore, the little girl was not afraid.

The children began to gather around and formed a line.

Zhang Li Xue remembered that she had not seen Bai Qi and quickly looked around for him.

Seeing that the boy was not in the same line as hers, Zhang Li Xue began to wonder if perhaps he won’t be in the same class with her.

The little girl continued to look around but still, she could not find the person she was looking for.

At the side, Mu Zhen Yu seemed to notice her strange action. The boy opened his mouth to ask what she was looking for. But then, he hesitated again. Mu Zhen Yu followed the little girl’s line of gaze and guessed what she was doing.

“Xiao Li Xue.”

The little girl turned around with a smile. “Hmm?”

“You... Are you looking for Bai Qi?”

Her eyes lit up. “Un.” Zhang Li Xue nodded. She looked around before leaning over to the boy to whisper, “Brother Zhen Yu, do you know which class he is in?”

Mu Zhen Yu saw the look on Li Xue’s face and his heart became unhappy.

He did not like the feeling of seeing Xiao Li Xue and Bai Qi together. However, the two of them often practiced basketball in kindergarten together. The sport was something that he could not be a part of, no matter how hard he had tried to join them.

Mu Zhen Yu thought of her parents’ conversation a while ago.

Although he did not like Bai Qi, Mu Zhen Yu would always listen to his parents talking about him. Their families had businesses together and their parents were quite close.

He could still remember something that her parents had discussed about during a meal a few weeks ago.

“Xiao Li Xue, I don’t think that Bai Qi would be attending the same school with us.”

Her eyes widened in surprise. A few seconds later, Zhang Li Xue regained her composure and frowned. “That can’t be right. I have asked Brother Bai Qi before. He told me that he will be coming to this school. The school’s basketball team was quite good. He promised that we will enter the tea together.”

His heart was aching again. Mu Zhen Yu wondered if the reason Xiao Li Xue had entered school earlier was that she wanted to continue practicing basketball with Bai Qi. However, he did not dare to ask.

“I’m telling you the truth,” Mu Zhen Yu said. He saw that the little girl was staring back at him in anger and quickly explained. “A while ago, I heard from my parents that Bai Qi will follow his parents overseas. It seemed that his father was going to move for work. You can ask your parents about it. I’m sure that they have heard about it as well.”

Zhang Li Xue stared back at her friend with a dazed look in her eyes. She could not believe what she was hearing at this moment.

Bai Qi is moving away?
