Chapter 504 - Not Going to School Anymore (2/2)
She wanted Rainy to come inside, but in the end, she steeled herself just like how the principal said she should. There were some people she still could not afford to offend or upset.
Rainy stood outside, listening to the sounds of the teacher and children playing together. She sniffled sadly before sitting down on the floor. She hugged her legs to her body as the cold wind blew ruthlessly at her face, causing her to shudder in the cold. Despite this, she never left her place. At least not until she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the doorway. She quickly dodged aside, completely hiding herself away from others.
Song Wan held Chu Xiang's hand and swaggered out of the classroom. After just a few steps, she stopped walking. She tidied her granddaughter's clothes and then held her granddaughter's hand again, smiling exceptionally gently at her.
Rainy peeped her head out before shrinking back into her corner. Her pair of bright, sparkling eyes stared disapprovingly at Song Wan and Chu Xiang as she pressed her lips tightly together.
Suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes and fell from her eyes. Pit-pat.
”Rainy will not cry. Mommy said that Rainy is the nicest, bravest child.” She wiped her tears off with her sleeve. But somehow, the more she thought about it, the more mistreated she felt. Alone in a deserted corner, she covered her eyes and sobbed.
Until a warm hand touched her head.
She turned around. Upon seeing her mother who loved her the most, she reached out her small hands to embrace her mother's neck.
”Mommy.”
Xia Ruoxin picked her daughter up and gently caressed her soft hair, ”Did somebody bully our Rainy?” As for Teacher Xiao Meng's apology, Xia Ruoxin simply smiled back in return. She did not harbor any form of anger or blame towards her.
Since young, Xia Ruoxin lived in a foster home. She understood that survival was tough. It was not the teacher's fault, and she was not going to blame anybody for what happened.
”Let's go, baby; we're going home.”
”Okay.” Rainy tugged at her mother's shirt, still feeling very wronged.
”Mommy, I want to eat fish.”
”Okay.”
”Mommy, I want to eat meat.”
”Okay.”
”Mommy, I don't want to go to school anymore.”
”Okay.”
Rainy rubbed her eyes. Suddenly, her large eyes fluttered, ”Mommy, I really don't have to go to school anymore?”
”That's right, you don't.” Xia Ruoxin rested her chin on her daughter's head.
