Chapter 492 - She Is Not Nice (2/2)
”Daddy and Rainy, come over and eat.”
This sentence of hers made her own heart pitter and patter with happiness. Indeed, Daddy and Rainy… Daddy and Rainy! She finally gave Rainy a father. She knows that while Rainy had a mother, Rainy also needed a father; and given a choice, Xia Ruoxin would choose Gao Yi.
”Mommy, eat the fish.” Rainy pointed at the big plate, hungrily wiping her own tiny lips with her equally tiny hands.
Gao Yi pinched her cheeks. ”Eat more and grow faster.”
”Will I grow taller than her?” Rainy lifted her face, blinking her pair of large and bright eyes.
”Who is this 'her' that Rainy is speaking about?” Gao Yi brought Rainy into his embrace while asking Xia Ruoxin. Who is this 'her', and why did Rainy continuously mention 'her'?
”A friend from kindergarten, I guess?” Xia Ruoxin removed the bones from the fish skillfully while her own daughter went to scoop rice.
”Rainy made a friend?” Gao Yi rubbed Rainy's brain, feeling some sense of accomplishment at his daughter's achievement.
”No.” Rainy lifted her face from the bowl to pout before continuing to have her meal. Her face was full of rice grains, and with her soft voice, her parents didn't hear anything.
Finishing a bowl of rice, she went to watch cartoons. However, this child was actually used to multitasking: on one hand, watching cartoons on television; and on the other, reading the book that Gao Yi bought for her.
The book comprised of mainly drawings and some simple words, and Rainy could understand a few. In the past, Xia Ruoxin taught her some words at home. Although she didn't recognize many words, it was no issue for the simpler books like this one.
”Daddy, I'm done.” Rainy placed the book in her hands down. Yet another book was finished.
Gao Yi walked over. ”You finished the book?” He took Rainy's book, casually flipping through some pages. He thought to himself, this child read quite fast. It was only a few days, and the bookseller had mentioned that a child could take at least half a month to read a book.
”Tomorrow, Daddy will buy a few more for you.” He thought that he would buy some more books tomorrow when he passed by the book store.
”Thank you, Daddy.” Rainy sat on his knees to kiss Gao Yi's cheeks. Her cute expressions made Gao Yi play with her again.
Over the weekends, Rainy gained the most. She had a few more books, as well as a tracking watch, so that Xia Ruoxin and Gao Yi could know where Rainy was at all times.
In the kindergarten classroom, Chu Xiang was carried into the classroom by the teacher like a princess and was continuously entertained by the teacher. Chu Xiang proudly raised her chin. She had become some sort of celebrity in the kindergarten.
”Children, we'll be collecting the homework.”
The teacher clapped her hands. The so-called homework was just to write some simple pinyin1.
Chu Xiang's face turned red for she hadn't done her homework. All the words looked like bean sprouts, and she didn't even recognize any. How could she have done it? This is the romanization system for Mandarin.
