The next day, the Shi family villa, in Shi Wangyue’s room.

The little boy in the white long sleeved top was sitting upright at the desk, writing out Chinese characters.

The child wrote slowly, but he was extremely focused on copying out the words. If there was a bit of untidiness, he would pick up the eraser beside him and erase everything before rewriting the words. He didn’t stop until the writing was neat and correct.

“Everyone, let’s sing together. Antenna Baby is very obedient. Antenna Baby is very good…”

In the living room, the fat young man was eating from a bucket of potato chips and watching cartoons on the TV. He would sway along with the music during certain highlights of the program.

“Wangyue, Wangyue, are you there?” Shi Tongyang came upstairs at this moment.

“Yang Yang, you’re here,” the young man said happily when he saw his nephew approaching.

“Uncle, why are you watching the Teletubbies again? How childish! Where’s Wangyue?”

“Baby is practicing his writing. Su Su said that we shouldn’t disturb him.” The young man raised a finger to his mouth and made a shushing gesture.

Shi Tongyang didn’t take heed of his uncle’s words and pushed open the door to his cousin’s room and said excitedly,

“Wangyue stop writing. I have something to tell you.”

When the child heard his voice, he calmly finished writing the last character and put away his pen. Then he turned to look at Shi Tongyang without a word.

“Wangyue, listen to me. Mom and Dad took me camping yesterday. It was so fun. I saw so many children and It was so fun to hang out with them. You know what? I even saw Classmate Youguang. Classmate Youguang also camped with us.”

“We hiked together and toured the lake. We also spent time singing and watching the stars. There was also a bonfire. You didn’t know that, did you?”

“Haha, camping is really fun. Mom said that she’ll bring me to play with Youguang the next time. Hmph, I won’t bring you!”

Shi Tongyang continued chattering as he stood around Shi Wangyue and told him everything that had transpired in the past two days.

“And oh, there’s more, Mom invited Classmate Youguang to my birthday party. When the time comes, she’ll come to my birthday party at our house. She’s my friend now!”

After quietly listening to his cousin’s words, the child did not utter a word the entire time, but his fists were clenched.

“Wow, Yangyang, did you have so much fun?” The fat young man had tagged along behind Shi Tongyang and was full of envy after hearing what his nephew had shared.

“Yes, we had a great time.” Shi Tongyang was very pleased with himself.

After he left.

The fat young man squatted down beside his son and asked him curiously with eyes wide open,

“Baby, what was this fun camping activity that Yang Yang mentioned just now?”

“Can we go camping too?”

“Can we also invite Classmate Youguang to come with us?”

“Daddy, I don’t know.” The boy lowered his head. The pair of eyes that were looking at his father earlier were filled with dismay.

Monday morning.

During breakfast time at Rainbow Bilingual Kindergarten, Youguang was nibbling on her custard bun and realized that her deskmate, who usually ate well, was a little unenthusiastic about eating today.

“Little Wangyue, did you eat at home this morning?”

“No.”

“Then why are you eating so slowly today?”

Shi Wangyue pursed his lips and mustered his courage to ask the question that he had been thinking about all night. “Youguang, what kind of activity is camping?”

“Camping? Shi Tongyang told you about us camping together?”

“Yeah.”

‘And you guys had a lot of fun…’

‘She was his friend, wasn’t she?’

Why would she play with the bad boy, Shi Tongyang?

“Camping isn’t an activity. Camping is an outdoor sport,” Youguang answered in a soft voice as she finished his custard bun.

“Oh.” The kid lowered his head and took a bite of his custard bun. His eyes were dark and moody. “Are you friends with him now?”

“Of course not. I have very high standards when it comes to making friends.” Youguang thought for a moment, then said, “I went to the weekend camp with my family. I didn’t know that he would be there.”

The kid felt a little better, but it was still hard to let it go.

He took a bite of the large custard bun and chewed on it.

“Has Little Wangyue never gone camping with his family before?”

“No.”

“Are Mom and Dad busy?”

The kid shook his head and didn’t say anything else. His body language exuded a refusal to communicate.

Children were sensitive and smart. They were not easy to deal with.

Youguang thought for a moment and smiled at the child. She said in a slightly brisk tone, “Then when we grow up, I’ll take Little Wangyue to a camp. I’m very experienced in camping.”

Although it was still a long way from growing up, she will have to keep her promise.

‘You said that, didn’t you?’

Shi Wangyue noted down this promise very seriously.

They both ate their breakfast in silence after that.

Youguang finished her breakfast first. Seeing that she had finished eating, Wangyue was a little anxious. He tried to speed up, but accidentally choked on his food.

Youguang immediately picked up the child’s milk and brought it to his mouth. “Here, drink some milk slowly. Drink a little more. Slow down and take a small sip.”

After the child washed down the custard bun stuck in his throat, Youguang continued to pat his back gently.

“There’s no hurry. Eat slowly. Little kid, don’t be anxious when you eat. You’ll choke easily if you’re anxious.”

The child nodded obediently and continued to drink his milk slowly.

“By the way, Little Wangyue, we’ve known each other for so long. Stop calling me Classmate Youguang. It sounds alienating.”

“Then what should I call you?” The child’s fair little face seemed confused. Then, he remembered how her brother and aunt addressed her when they were in school to pick her up…

“Sister You You? Baby You You?”

“Does that sound less alienating?”

“What are you thinking, you little brat? I’m older than you. Of course you have to call me Jie Jie1.”

She didn’t expect the Big Boss to be so innocent and sly all at the same time…
