Chapter 460 - Best Not to Meet Again (2/2)

”Okay, bye, Rainy.” Xia Ruoxin, too, stretched her hand out and waved at her daughter.

Rainy went into the classroom obediently with her teacher while Xia Ruoxin double-checked to ensure that her scarf was placed properly. Then, she turned around and made her way to the art studio. It would be a busy day today because the students would be coming for lessons.

After a busy afternoon, she was almost done at the art studio.

”Ruoxin, are you going to pick Rainy from school?” Su Li asked Xia Ruoxin.

”Yes. Her class is about to end in kindergarten.” Xia Ruoxin tidied up the things on her desk one by one. Otherwise, it would be too messy for her to find anything tomorrow.

”Why don't you leave first? I can take over from here.” Su Li wanted to do it herself. She couldn't let the Little Beauty wait. A child's mind was sensitive; she would become anxious and cry if she had to wait for long.

Xia Ruoxin didn't turn her offer away. She tidied for a while longer before she finally took her belongings and left. The wind outside was so much colder when she came out. Winter would be here very soon. However, she felt that it was already here.

She trotted all the way to the kindergarten. She arrived early hoping to pick her daughter up sooner.

”Rainy, your mother is here.” The teacher pulled Rainy's hat down, and it almost covered the girls' eyes. She knew this child was weak because she had just recovered from a major illness. That's why she couldn't afford to be cold.

Rainy shook her little head and pulled her head down with her own hands. Then, she ran to her mother and hugged her legs.

”Mommy, you are here to pick me up.”

Rainy rubbed her face against her mother's legs happily. Oh, she felt so blessed. Her mother arrived so early to pick her up.

”Wear your mask.” Xia Ruoxin adjusted the mask on Rainy's face to make sure she was wearing it properly. It would help to prevent her from catching a cold. Rainy wore it obediently. Although it wasn't very comfortable, she didn't attempt to remove it.

Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter before she turned around and smiled at the teacher standing behind her.

”Miss Xiaoning, I'm sorry, but Rainy won't be coming to school tomorrow. We'll decide when the weather is better.”

”Alright.” The teacher nodded her head continuously in agreement. ”I was going to talk to you about it, too. Two of our students had a fever today. We have sent them home earlier. This being the flu season, many children tend to fall sick. Rainy's immunity is weaker than an average child so I think it's best if she doesn't come to school for the time being.”

”Thank you, Miss Xiaoning.” Xia Ruoxin pressed her daughter's head into her chest. She was very appreciative of the teacher's reminder. Besides, Miss Xiaoning had always taken very good care of Rainy. Otherwise, Xia Ruoxin would worry whenever her daughter was at school. Rainy might be an intelligent child, but her mind was sensitive because of her young age. Now that she was spending time with children her age, she became more outgoing and cheerful. Xia Ruoxin felt at ease. However, it was a pity that Rainy's immunity was weaker than other children. Gao Yi had assured her it would recover fully once she was all grown up.

”Mommy, are we going home?” Rainy tugged at Xia Ruoxin's sleeve. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she merely bit on her tiny finger and held her tongue.

Xia Ruoxin carried Rainy and stood in the freezing cold wind. It kept blowing at them so Xia Ruoxin used her slender body to block it from Rainy. Throughout these years, she had been using her weak body to shield Rainy and protect her.

They arrived outside the cake house. She stopped and carried her daughter in one hand as she pushed the door open with another. The warmth in the restaurant caused her eyes to tear up, blurring everything with a layer of fog.
