Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 620 - 618: Love, Sometimes Itβs Also Harm (Part 1)
Nuonuo finally went to kindergarten with Little Treasure. She was almost four years old, attending the middle class, while Little Treasure was just over two, in the toddler class. π³ππ²ππ πππ»πΌπ§π²π₯.πππ¦
And Da Bao, according to the principal, could have skipped straight to high school, but he chose to enter the third year of junior high.
Ji Rui and Le Tong, as parents, always respected Da Baoβs choices about schooling, so they didnβt ask much why Da Bao didnβt skip to high school.
Teacher Zhang, the homeroom teacher, believed Ji Yu didnβt want to leave his classmates, but the real reason Da Bao stayed in junior high was that the junior high department was closer to the kindergarten.
The return time for kindergarten has always been flexible, it could be earlier or later.
On the first day of school, Le Tong and Ji Rui personally took the three children to school.
The Ji Family, in accompaniment by the teachers and caregivers, conducted a routine tour of the cafeteria and dormitory first. Then Ji Rui and Le Tong took Little Treasure to the toddler class, while Da Bao was responsible for taking Nuonuo to the middle class.
Standing at the classroom door, Nuonuo clung to Da Baoβs neck, unwilling to come down, pouting, looking very aggrieved.
"Brother, Nuonuo wants to go home!"
Nuonuo, accustomed to staying at home, felt a little anxious after just one glance at the classroom filled with dozens of unfamiliar faces. Instinctively, she buried her head into Da Baoβs shoulder, refusing to lift it.
"There are many friends here who can play with Nuonuo. You can learn to draw, dance, and sing. Once Brother finishes school, heβll come to pick you up, okay?"
Da Bao didnβt rush to leave her behind but took her to the corridor, gently calming her down.
When their parents initially mentioned sending Nuonuo to school, they were persuaded by Da Bao, and no one brought it up again until now.
The whole Ji Family knew, Da Bao always indulged Nuonuo excessively.
As long as Nuonuo liked something, Da Bao usually wouldnβt force her, just wanted her to be happy and joyful.
Under Da Baoβs and the Ji Familyβs excessive protection, Nuonuo seemed very shy compared to Little Treasureβs reckless and sociable personality.
Realizing this, Da Bao finally didnβt relent this time. After making a bunch of promises, he finally got Nuonuo to step into the classroom.
Da Bao didnβt leave immediately but hid by the window, secretly watching Nuonuoβs moves.
The little girl sat quietly on the bench. The teacher arranged two lively, outgoing girls to sit next to her, but Nuonuo kept her head down, fiddling with her fingers, unresponsive to the girlsβ chattering and friendly gestures.
Da Bao watched for a while, his heart aching, but seeing the time, he knew his class was starting soon. If he didnβt leave, he would be late.
Until he left, his favorite sister still sat there with her head down, refusing to interact with anyone.
So on the first day of school, classmate Ji Yu, sitting in the junior high schoolβs first classroom, was unusually distracted, appearing absent-minded.
Yin Zhihao, still sitting next to him, couldnβt hold back during recess, "Hey, how come you look so out of it on the first day of school?"
Da Bao wasnβt one to complain, but Yin Zhihaoβs persistent questions over two classes finally annoyed him into speaking up.
"Itβs my sisterβs first day at kindergarten today. Iβm a bit worried she wonβt adapt well."
Yin Zhihao let out an "Oh," paused, then seemed to have discovered something significant, "Didnβt you say your brother and sister went to kindergarten together? Your brother is younger, why worry about your sister but not your brother?"
With Yin Zhihaoβs reminder, Da Bao remembered that along with nearly four-year-old Nuonuo, Little Treasure, just over two, also went to kindergarten.
"That little rascal Little Treasure isnβt afraid of strangers; Iβm not worried about him adapting. Iβm more worried about his teacher adapting to him. Nuonuo is differentβsoft-natured and timid..."
Yin Zhihao smacked his lips, "Why donβt you just tie Nuonuo to your belt!"
Da Bao didnβt respond, but as soon as the school bell rang, he dashed out of the classroom.
"Hey, Ji Yu, where are you running off to? Not getting food?" Yin Zhihao called after Da Bao, who was running in the opposite direction of the cafeteria.
"Get some for me!" Da Bao replied, disappearing around the corner.
The junior high department was separated from the kindergarten by the elementary department. Da Bao took a shortcut, running for several minutes before arriving breathlessly at the kindergarten building.
The security, whoβd known him for years, recognized him and, upon hearing he was there to check on his siblings, let him through without further questions.
The toddler class was on the first floor. Da Bao first peeked into Little Treasureβs classroom. Just as he expected, Little Treasure was there, arm in arm with a nearby boy, whispering about something, grinning ear-to-ear, showing no signs of unease.
The teacher noticed him, came out, and after learning he was Little Treasureβs brother, simply reported on Little Treasureβs morning.
"Ji Huan has strong adaptability and manual skills. Many kids cried earlier, and he helped comfort them."
Indeed, Little Treasure, as Da Bao anticipated, was thriving in kindergarten.
Seeing no issues with Little Treasure, Da Bao didnβt linger and hurriedly chatted a bit before rushing to Nuonuoβs classroom.
The kids were still eating in the classroom. Da Bao easily spotted Nuonuo. While other kids were chatting and eating, Nuonuo quietly sat at the table, absent-mindedly stirring her food with a spoon without the slightest intention to eat.
Da Bao felt a pang of worry seeing her untouched bowl of food.
The teacher quickly saw him, came out, and pulled him aside.
"Ji Sihan is very quiet, hasnβt spoken much all morning."
Da Bao felt equally troubled, "Teacher, she has little contact with outsiders usually. Sheβll adapt slowly."
"Alright then, you better leave before she sees you..." The teacher didnβt approve of Da Baoβs secret visits and urged him to leave quickly.
By afternoon, Da Bao was even more distracted. Fortunately, there were no major lessons on the first day, and following routine opening remarks, the school soon let out after the bell rang.
Unlike before, instead of leaving with Yin Zhihao and others, he headed to the kindergarten with his backpack.
Little Treasure and Nuonuo were waiting for him to pick them up.
Little Treasureβs class hadnβt been dismissed yet, so he went to fetch Nuonuo first. As he reached the classroom door, the teacher led the children out.
Upon hearing the teacher say, "Ji Sihan, your brother is here to pick you up," Nuonuo, who had been hanging her head, immediately raised her face. When she saw Da Bao, she ran towards him with her tiny legs.
