The next day.
Chen Xi did not expect that the little kiddo would urged him to hurry as class was starting soon. Before Chen Xi could even clear the plates after breakfast, the little kiddo was already dragging him out.
“Papa, let’s go! I have to go to class, teacher said we cannot be late. If we are late, we are bad kids!”
Aunty Zhang called for Chen Xi to leave the plates on the table as she smiled, “SInce this little kiddo loves kindergarten so much, you just bring her there. I will keep the plates later.”
Maybe the little kiddo was used to going out in the morning and coming home at night, she was not as clingy to Aunty Zhang as then.
Chen Xi proceeded to wipe his hands and put on his shoes while the little kiddo impatiently opened the door and ran outside. She then turned around and waved at Aunty Zhang, “Goodbye grandma!”
“Good girl, see you! Remember to listen to your teacher.”
“I know!”
The little kiddo was extremely excited.
Once outside, Chen Xi was bewildered why the little kiddo was even more excited than the previous day and inquired, “Nian Nian, is kindergarten very fun? Why are you so happy?”
The little kiddo immediately raised her head and smiled, “Teacher will be teaching us drawing today!”
“Oh, you know how to draw?”
“No, I don’t know how to draw.”
The little kiddo shook her head and continued in a cheerful tone, “But I will know how to draw after teacher teaches me!”
“Then after you learn how to draw, will you show it to papa once you are back?”
“En! I want to draw papa, grandma, and also mama!”
The little kiddo heavily nodded her head and hugged Chen Xi’s head. She smiled and said, “Teacher said that first place will get a red flower sticker. I want to get the red flower sticker.” Her voice was like fragrant glutinous rice; sweet and sticky.
“Then Nian Nian will have to work hard and try to get a red flower sticker. Papa will stick it onto the wall for you!”
“Ok!”
While conversing, the father and daughter pair soon reached the kindergarten.
The kindergarten entrance was filled with parents and…
Numerous children that were crying.
A boy refused to enter and decided to sit on the floor, as he clung onto his mother’s trousers. No matter how much the mother persuaded him, the boy refused to listen nor enter the kindergarten. His mother was so infuriated that she almost hit him.
Seeing that display, Chen Xi took advantage of Nian Nian’s excitement and asked, “Nian Nian see, is that big brother embarrassing?”
“Crybaby, shame, shame, shame.”
While saying it, the little kiddo used her fingers to trace tears stains on her face as she made a look of disdain.
“Next time when papa send you here, you cannot be like him ah.”
“I’m not a crybaby!”
The little kiddo proudly turned her head, completely forgetting her miserable state the day before.
Teacher Wang and 2 other teachers stood at the school gates as they welcomed their students. Chen Xi let Nian Nian down and urged her to go over.
However, the little kiddo stood on the spot and pulled Chen Xi’s hand. Next, she pointed to her cheeks.
Seeing this, Chen Xi laughed as he squatted down, he then gave the little kiddo a huge kiss on the cheeks. After receiving the kiss did she then energetically hopped to the school gates.
“Bye bye papa!”
“Go on, remember to listen to your teacher. Papa will be here after school.”
After the little kiddo went in, Chen Xi came to the fence and decided to watch them finish their morning exercise first before going back.
Not long after, he phone started ringing.
Chen Xi took out his phone and saw that it was from Lin Xuan.
“Hello?” Chen Xi picked up the call, but there were no sound coming from the other side.
“Hi? Lin Xuan?” Chen Xi called out to her but still did not receive any reply.
Just when he was about to hang up, a low male voice sounded from the other side, “Chen Xi?”
Chen Xi paused for a while before asking, “Hello, who are you? Why are you calling me using Lin Xuan’s phone?”
The man on the other side started laughing as he said with ridicule, “Have you forgotten about me so soon?”
Chen Xi was stunned for a while but he quickly recovered. In an instant, his face became extremely ugly.
He coldly asked, “Zhao Yuan?”
“Hahaha…Bingo. Actually, I have nothing to do and just wanted to tell you that I am well…”
“Lin Xuan. Where is she?”
Standing outside the kindergarten, Chen Xi’s voice sounded extremely chilling and harsh, as if his voice came from the nine depths of hell.
“Lin Xuan? Oh, she’s with me. I’m just borrowing her phone to call you, I will return it to her later.”
“Zhao Yuan, I warn you, if you dare touch a single hair on her, I will make sure you understand the pain of flaying your skin and ripping your tendons.”
*Ka Cha* When his voice just ended, the ceramic tile beneath Chen Xi’s feet shattered into pieces.
Zhao Yuan laughed as he said, “I will let you talk to her.”
Chen Xi turned up the volume but after a while, he could only hear some static. There was no sound coming from the other side.
*PA!*
Suddenly, a slapping sound came from the other side.
It was followed by Zhao Yuan’s eerie voice, “Say something, say something to him!”
However, there was no response from the other side, it was as if Zhao Yuan was talking to the air.
Chen Xi waited for a while but still heard nothing.
Another slap sound rang out.
“I fucking let you talk!”
Chen Xi felt that something was off and immediately shouted, “Lin Xuan? Lin Xuan, are you okay?”
On the other side of the phone.
Lin Xuan sat on the sofa as Zhao Yuan placed the phone by her mouth, continuously asking her to talk.
However, Lin Xuan sealed her lip shut and refused to make any sound no matter how Zhao Yuan hit her.
“Fuck!”
Zhao Yuan was truly incensed. He grabbed her hair and pulled it up, as if he wanted to raise her up by pulling her hair.
Lin Xuan’s hand was tied behind her back and could not resist him. In the end, she could only let out a pained moan.
Exposed, Lin Xuan no longer bother to endure it and immediately shouted, “Chen Xi, don’t listen to him, don’t find me. Call the police!”
“Fucking bitch, still want to play tricks!”
Zhao Yuan vicious spat on her and gave her another slap.
After hitting her, Zhao Yuan picked up the phone and said with a heavy tone, “Chen Xi, I advise you not to call the police. Otherwise, you know what will happen…”
