Chapter 30: First Light (2)

After bringing down the Li family, the Zhao family would probably not dare to show themselves recently.

Gu Manxi would have a period of peace and no one would disturb her.

It was late at night. Gu Chu was curled up in the soft blanket. Her mouth was slightly open and she slept soundly, just like all five-year-old children.

In the following days, everything was peaceful. The Zhao family no longer had any thoughts towards Gu Manxi. A woman who gave birth to a child out of wedlock and had connections with the Zhao family would only cause a scandal.

Under Zhao Yan's persuasion, Gu Manxi planned to temporarily stay in the capital. Gu Manxi's brain was rather smart, and her learning ability was relatively good. She was working as a clerk in a small company under Zhao Yan, and her development was not bad.

As for Gu Chu, her days were difficult...

Because Zhao Yan had personally found a reliable kindergarten in the capital.

The five-year-old Gu Chu carried a small pink schoolbag and reluctantly went to the chattering kindergarten to study. This kindergarten was a well-known noble kindergarten far and near. There was a group of energetic children in it.

Gu Chu had a small bun-like face and wanted to run away.

"Come, the teacher wants to pick the cutest child to answer. What is 3 + 2?" The kindergarten teacher in charge had the surname of Li and was young and energetic. At this moment, she had a bright smile on her face. "Whoever answers correctly will get a small red flower."

The ten or so children in the class instantly became excited.

They all raised their little paws, hoping that the teacher would pick them.

"Teacher Li, pick me. I'm the cutest."

"But 3 + 2 is so hard. I only know 1 + 1."

"I really want a little red flower..."

Miss Li looked at this group of lively and cute little angels with a smile. Suddenly, she noticed Gu Chu, who was in the back row. She was a little girl who had just transferred to the kindergarten. She was fair, smooth, and especially cute.

However, her personality was a little strange.

She had been in this kindergarten for three days and did not like to play with the children around her. She did not like to interact with the teachers. Her cute little face was expressionless. It seemed that she was not used to the kindergarten environment.

Miss Li was warm-hearted and kind. She was determined to take good care of the cute little Gu Chu. She wanted to let her experience the warmth of the kindergarten and integrate into this beautiful big family. Thus, Miss Li took the initiative to ask, "Then, let's invite the cutest little Chuchu to answer this question. What is the answer to 3 + 2?"

Gu Chu really wanted to grow up!

"Chuchu, you can do it, you can definitely do it." Gu Chu's deskmate was a five-year-old fatty. He clenched his fists to cheer Gu Chu on.

"3 + 2 is 5," Gu Chu answered.

Teacher Li showed an exaggerated expression and gave her a thumbs up. "You got it right! Chuchu is really smart. A little red flower for Chuchu! Everyone, give Chuchu a round of applause."

The surrounding applause was thunderous. Gu Chu was not very willing to accept this ugly paper flower.

She stuck it on her collar and acted as childish as she could be.

"Chuchu, you're so good." The fatty's face was full of admiration.

Miss Li praised Gu Chu fiercely and then asked, "Alright, now I am going to test everyone again. What is 9 + 9? If you answer correctly, you will get two little red flowers."

This time, the little kids in the class were lost.

"9 + 9... it's so difficult..."

"What is 9, can I eat it?"

"Stupid, 9 is the number after 8."

"Miss, I don't know this question... Uwww, but I still want the little red flower..."

The cubs were chattering, causing Gu Chu's head to hurt. In order to shut the surrounding kids up, Gu Chu raised her hand. 

Miss Li was surprised. "Does our Chuchu want to answer this question? Tell me, Chuchu, what is the answer? It doesn't matter if you get it wrong."
