Chapter 10 - Lin Yiyi suddenly felt her head hurting; it felt as if her brain wasn"t getting enough oxygen! (1)
In the afternoon, Lin Yiyi went to kindergarten at the end of the school day to pick up little Meng Shanshan.
Meng Shanshan went to school at a private kindergarten that was near their home. The school looked pretty good. The school buildings, the plaza area, and the overall facilities looked very new. The security for this place was also extremely good. The children would stay with their responsible teachers until their parents collected them directly from their teachers.
However, when the teacher saw that it was Lin Yiyi who had come to pick up Meng Shanshan, the teacher looked at her a few more times.
In the past, Meng Shanshan had always been picked up by her family"s housekeeper. This was the first time the teacher had seen Meng Shanshan"s mother; she looked young and beautiful...
Of course, the teacher didn"t know that this youthful-looking mother also had a thirteen-year-old son.
After Meng Shanshan was picked up without a hitch, the mother and daughter went off to pick up Meng Yuran from his school.
She saw the teenager getting into the car"s back seat and silently putting his book bag down. While driving, Lin Yiyi glanced at him through the rearview mirror. His handsome face was expressionless. She didn"t have anything to say, so she tried to start a conversation by asking, "How was the lunch? Did it taste good? Whatever you want eat, tell mom. Don"t feel shy about asking."
Her newly gained son"s expression looked a bit too sober, so she gingerly asked that question.
Meng Yuran said, "En, it"s okay."
It"s okay...
That should translate to quite good, right?
Receiving a "it"s okay" evaluation from this little brat that acted as if he was suffering from facial nerve paralysis, Lin Yiyi could only lower her standard.
She smiled; she still felt quite happy.
"Did you share it with your cla.s.smates? What did they think of it?"
She was quite confident about her cooking skills, so she naturally wanted everyone"s approval.
It was very normal for children to share their lunches with their friends, and he didn"t seem like a stingy person, so she wasn"t worried that this brat would be eating lunch alone.
Besides, the quant.i.ty of food she cooked was a lot. How could one person have eaten it all?
Meng Yuran quietly glanced at her. His expression was somewhat unnatural. "They thought... it was okay too."
Probably...
He thought of Xu Jie"s expression at the time. He looked as if he wanted nothing more than to s.n.a.t.c.h the food from him. It was obvious that Xu Jie thought his mother"s cooking was quite good.
It was so little food. It wasn"t even enough for him to enjoy, and his desk-mate wanted to ask him for it?
Little Meng Shanshan, who was sitting in the pa.s.senger seat, went back and forth between looking at her mother and brother. Feeling a bit jealous, she said, "Mom, you can"t just cook for big brother. I want to eat your food too."
Actually, the food at the kindergarten was quite good. There were even cookies and milk in the afternoon. Meng Shanshan wasn"t lacking in the food at all, but, hearing that her mother had only brought food over to her brother, she felt a bit jealous.
Mom was her and big brother"s mom. How could she only care about big brother and not her?
A young child"s mind was just that simple and rough.
Lin Yiyi freed one hand and comfortingly stroked Shanshan"s little head. "Mom will cook for you tonight, okay? Meng Shanshan just tell mom what you want to eat."
Hearing this, Meng Shanshan immediately turned her train of thoughts towards yummy food. Counting various foods on her fingers, she completely forgot that she had been feeling jealous about her big brother.
