Loneliness Is When You're Not By My Side (3)

Elementary school students were carrying school bags, coming out one after another, waiting for their parents at the gate.

"Jiajia, don't go home so early today, alright? I'll take you to check out something nice."

A little boy tugged on the schoolbag of the little girl in front of him.

"What nice thing? But… My mother's waiting for me outside…" The little girl seemed like she wanted to go with him. She glanced at the school gate and stopped walking.

She saw her mother. Startled, the little boy pulled her to one side to hide from her.

The little boy said, "Let's go out through the back gate, shall we? The place I'm taking you to is near our school. It'll just take a few minutes and we'll go back to the main gate so you can tell your mother that you were staying in the classroom to clean up. That'll work, right? So are you coming?"

"Well…" The little girl was excited, looked at him hesitantly, and finally nodded. "Okay!"
