The next day, when Lin Xiao took Xun’er to kindergarten, he happened to meet a teacher arriving for work.
"Good morning, teacher!"
Xun'er shouted very loudly.
"Good morning, Xun'er."
Teacher Fang looked at Xun'er strangely. While she usually greeted people, she had never heard her speak so loudly before.
After Xun'er entered the kindergarten, she turned and waved rapidly at Lin Xiao, who was preparing to leave, still shouting with clear pronunciation, "Bye-bye, Daddy!"
"...Bye-bye."
Lin Xiao was a little unaccustomed to the little girl saying that… was it too calculating?
Teacher Fang looked at Xun'er strangely. Why did it feel so peculiar?
Throughout the day at school, whenever the teacher asked a question, Xun'er answered the fastest and raised her hand the most eagerly. Every time the teacher asked for quiet or to sit properly, she was the most obedient. She even seemed afraid the teacher wouldn't notice, holding her back ramrod straight, her eyes fixed intently on the teacher.
This made it impossible for the teacher not to see her.
By the end of the day, all the teachers and children in the kindergarten felt as if Xun'er had transformed. While Xun'er was usually well-behaved, she didn't often exhibit such deliberate behavior, trying to get teachers or classmates to notice her good performance.
Today, it was as if Xun'er was intentionally trying to showcase her excellence and obedience.
Her performance throughout the day was indeed commendable. No student in the entire kindergarten could be found to be more outstanding than Xun'er.
Of course, Teacher Fang also received a message from Lin Xiao.
She finally understood why Xun'er had performed so well and acted so strangely.
"Today, for our little red flower, we will award it to Lin Xun'er!"
As Teacher Fang pinned the little red flower to Xun'er's chest, Xun'er stood perfectly straight and said loudly, "Thank you, teacher!"
"You don't need to shout so loudly," Teacher Fang said, startled by her outburst, and quickly added.
"Yes, teacher."
Xun'er instinctively covered the red flower on her chest. However, it was clear that Teacher Fang had no intention of taking the flower back from her.
When school ended, Xun'er excitedly rushed towards Lin Xiao's car.
"Daddy! Look! I have a little red flower!"
"Mmm-hmm! Xun'er is so good, Xun'er is indeed the most outstanding." Lin Xiao immediately patted her head, picked her up, and kissed her on the cheek. "How about Daddy takes you to the amusement park tomorrow?"
"Okay!"
Coincidentally, it was the weekend, so Xun'er wouldn't have to go to school.
On the way to pick up Xun'er, Lin Xiao had already contacted the amusement park and spent a considerable amount of money to book the entire place. Tomorrow would be Xun'er's private event.
Of course, he had also received news that Nangong Huowu and others had arrived in Shashi and were now waiting for an opportunity to strike at him.
It was just as well to have them go to the amusement park; since he had booked it out, fewer people would be implicated.
"Come on, my dear, let's go home. Once we're home, let Mommy see your little red flower!"
"Okay!"
Upon returning home, as soon as Luo Qinghan arrived, Xun'er ran to her. "Mama! Look!"
She said, pointing at her chest with both fingers, wishing she could grow a little taller so her mother could see clearly.
