Chapter 17: Little Girls Can Go to School.

Chapter 17

Shen Nian and Ye Anning were in the same school. As soon as class was over, she ran towards the senior grades.

Ye Anning sat in her seat and sighed helplessly. She didn't expect that after transmigrating once, she would still have to go through over ten years of schooling again.

Just as she was thinking, she caught a glimpse of the little girl peering around the classroom door.

The little girl also saw her. She pursed her lips and waved to Ye Anning.

Ye Anning leaned back against her chair and got up to walk out of the classroom.

She looked down at Shen Nian, "Were you looking for me?"

Shen Nian's eyes were deep as she looked at her, "How many?"

The question was vague, but Ye Anning understood what she meant.

"Sui Yu, Sui Zhi, Qiao Ze, and that wolf. Basically everyone who was there at the time has returned."

Shen Nian closed her eyes for a moment. "So Lu Yunling isn't back as well?" She didn't really like Lu Yunling and always felt that she was too fake.

Ye Anning scoffed, "How would I know? Weren't you closest to her?"

Shen Nian didn't retort and just asked after a few seconds of silence, "So what are you all planning to do?"

Ye Anning looked at her steadily, "You know, don't you? What Qi Linhan said back then... At least I want to get to the bottom of whether those things were related to Yan Yan. I won't let her go through those things again either, won't let her get hurt again."

When it came to this, Shen Nian couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"How is she now?" fr𝐞𝐞𝚠e𝗯𝗻ovel.c𝐨m

Ye Anning's gaze softened as she thought of the cute little girl, "She's doing well, just keeps pestering to go to school."

Shen Nian also couldn't help laughing, "Foolish girl, she'd just get bullied if she went to school."

Ye Anning's lips curved up slightly, "Our neighborhood is newly built and hasn't officially started selling yet... You understand what I mean."

Shen Nian leaned against the railing, "What use is it if I understand, my dad worries too much."

Ye Anning was feeling playful and reached out to rub Shen Nian's head, "What's so hard about this? You'll handle it well... Nian Nian."

Shen Nian shuddered, looking at Ye Anning in horror.

The latter smiled as she walked back to the classroom under her horrified gaze.

...

Liu Man carried a plate of freshly cut fruit from the kitchen. With a glance, she immediately spotted the little girl sitting dejectedly in the living room.

Sui Yan was slumped on the sofa looking very depressed.

Liu Hua had just finished working upstairs in the study and laughed when she came downstairs to see the droopy little girl. How is this kid like an empty nester?

"Madam."

Liu Man lowered her voice and said to Liu Hua beside her, "Madam, Sui Yan looks so pitiful."

Liu Hua took the fruit from her hand, "It's fine, I'll accompany her more."

She went over and sat down next to Sui Yan, reaching out to rub the child's head, "What's wrong, why is Sui Yan unhappy?"

Sui Yan looked aggrievedly at Liu Hua, "Mom, why can't I go to school?"

Liu Hua's actions stalled for a moment. "Sui Yan, isn't it good for mom to teach you at home?"

The little girl pursed her lips, "But brother said you can make a lot of friends at school."

Liu Hua's voice was gentle, "What if you make bad friends who bully you?"

Perhaps Liu Hua was too adamant. Sui Yan rubbed her eyes without saying anything more.

Liu Man sighed when she saw this and pulled Liu Hua aside to persuade her softly, "Madam, this is making Sui Yan unhappy."

Liu Hua looked at the lonely and quiet figure of the little girl, eyes downcast as she thought for a long time.

Liu Man didn't say much more, only waiting for Liu Hua to think it through herself.

Sui Yu and Sui Zhi's previous school was too far from home for them to come back often. So after discussing it with everyone, Sui Jinhong transferred them to a school closer to home.

So when school ended that afternoon, the three boys rushed back home.

Sui Yu was in grade eight and normally wouldn't be able to come home every day, but because his grades were so good, the school gave him a little privilege.

He strode through the door, "Sui Yan, brother is home!"

Usually hearing this, the little girl would happily rush over and hug his legs while acting coquettishly, but today even after waiting for a long time there was no sign of her.

Sui Yu felt a little puzzled and walked towards the living room. Just as he was about to call out again, he suddenly caught sight of the curled up little girl sleeping on the sofa.

He was stunned for a moment before carefully walking over and covering Sui Yan with a small blanket.

After covering her with the blanket, he was just about to leave when he inadvertently noticed the red rims of the little girl's eyes.

Sui Yu's brows furrowed as he went to ask Liu Hua, "Mom, did someone bully Sui Yan?"

Liu Hua was making dinner with Liu Man and still felt a little confused hearing this, "No ah, Sui Yan stayed home all day today."

Sui Yu's frown deepened, "Then why was Sui Yan crying?"

Liu Hua was startled and immediately put down what was in her hand, striding out of the kitchen.

Liu Man watched her back and couldn't help sighing.

"Sister Liu Man, what exactly is going on?"

Liu Man explained in a low voice, "Sui Yan wants to go to school, but Madam doesn't want her to."

After her explanation, Sui Yu understood. He pressed his eyebrows, "Then this might be tricky."

Liu Man reassured him, "It won't be, Madam still can't bear to see Sui Yan unhappy."

Sui Yu glanced towards the living room and saw Liu Hua squatting next to the sofa, eyes lowered as she looked at the sleeping little girl.

He inexplicably felt relieved, "Mm... Sister Liu Man, I'll go upstairs to do homework first."

Liu Man waved her hand, "Alright."

Sui Zhi and Qiao Ze had one more class than Sui Yu that afternoon. By the time they got home, they saw Liu Hua holding Sui Yan while whispering something to her.

The held little girl looked very happy, smiling with eyes curved.

Sui Zhi put down his things and called out, "Sui Yan, brother is home!"

Looking at them, Sui Yan blinked then gave Liu Hua a loud kiss, "Mom, I know already!"

After saying that, she slid down from Liu Hua's legs and bounced towards Sui Zhi, "Brother!"

Halfway there, Qiao Ze caught her in his arms, "Why is Sui Yan so happy today?"

Being held by him, the little girl reflexively clutched his collar tightly, "Little Ze brother, mom said I can go to school!"

Sui Zhi walked over and took the little girl into his arms. Afraid to hurt her, Qiao Ze let go along with Sui Zhi's actions.

Sui Zhi's eyes and brows were gentle, "Sui Yan wants to go to school so much?"

Sui Yan grinned from ear to ear, "Brother, you become smarter and smarter by going to school, just like mom!"

Liu Hua walked over, "Mom can make you very smart even teaching you at home."

Sui Yan pouted, "Mom promised I could go, can't take it back!"

Sui Zhi rubbed her head and asked Liu Hua, "Mom, why did you suddenly agree?"

Liu Hua coldly humphed, "If I didn't let the brat go to school, she'd just cry alone by herself."
