Chapter 121

After observing Mu Mu for a while, Song Anan realized that he really liked going to kindergarten. She finally felt relieved.

In the kindergarten, Mu Mu was one of the more well-behaved children. The teachers all liked him very much. The little guy was good-looking, obedient, and had manners. The other children in the class also loved to play with him.

But the teachers in the class also gradually discovered that Mu Mu was also a child with strong opinions, which was rare at this age.

Unlike other children who generally listened to whatever the teacher said, Mu Mu was different. He would really think seriously. When he disagreed with something, he would take the initiative to raise questions.

For example, in class, the teacher told the children brave stories, and then asked all the children in the class to talk about the bravest things they had done.

Some children said they were not afraid of bugs, and their mothers praised them for being very brave. Some children said they were not afraid of the dark, and their fathers praised them for being brave, and so on.

Almost all the children spoke up and said they were not afraid of something, so they were very brave.

But when it was Mu Mu's turn, he broke this pattern and said directly: "I think the bravest thing I've done is sleeping in a different room from my dad and mom."

Upon hearing this, the teacher was a little surprised. After all, most children of this age still sleep with their parents, and few have successfully slept in separate rooms.

"Mu Mu, you really are brave. Weren't you scared?" asked the teacher.

Mu Mu nodded and replied, "I was a little scared at first, but my dad said that I have grown up and need to learn to sleep by myself."

When it came to his dad, the little guy was clearly very proud. "My dad also said that being brave is not about not being afraid of anything, but being brave to do it even if you are afraid."

So even though he was very afraid, he still did it, which was also very brave.

The teacher was even more surprised this time. It seemed that whether it was the parents or them as teachers, when it came to being brave, they generally said that not being afraid of danger and difficulties is being brave.

They emphasized not being afraid to the children, which is being brave.

They inadvertently neglected that ‘fear’ is in fact human nature, and even more so for children, because they are unfamiliar with this world, so they instinctively fear many things.

Being brave is not about not being afraid of anything, but being brave to do it even though you are afraid.

The teacher suddenly knew how to teach children about bravery.

After class, the teacher went back to the office and immediately shared this with the other teachers.

When one of the teachers heard that this was said by Mu Mu, she reacted very calmly.

Because she had encountered similar things before.

"What's the story? Tell us about it."

The teacher reflexively looked over at the middle class office, made sure no one was there, and then told the whole story.

The kindergarten was divided into lower, middle and upper classes. Among them, there was a very troublesome little boy in the middle class.

This child was probably spoiled by his family. After coming to kindergarten, he was simply a little bully who went around provoking other children all day long.

Also, as soon as this child didn't get his way, he would cry and make a fuss endlessly. Once he started making a scene, it was as if he wanted to flip the kindergarten roof over. He gave the teachers in their class tremendous headaches.

Just last week, when the little bully was passing by the lower class entrance, he happened to see Chubby and Mu Mu eating snacks. He arrogantly said he wanted to eat some too.

The snacks were brought by Mu Mu. He had a limited snack allowance every day, and had already shared some with Chubby today, so there really wasn't much left.

Plus, he really didn't like the attitude of the little bully, so he directly refused. But no one expected that when the little bully couldn't get what he wanted, he actually tried to snatch it. Chubby was the first to react and pushed him away.

To put it bluntly, Chubby did have some strength. The little bully was clearly not his match.

Seeing that he couldn't get the snacks by snatching them, and couldn't win in a fight either, the little bully used his killer move—he sat on the ground and started rolling around crying.

Even Mu Mu was shocked. From a young age until now, he had never encountered someone so unreasonable.

Hearing the commotion here, the teacher from the middle class kindergarten rushed over at the first moment. Seeing that it was the little bully, she instantly got a headache.

After finding out what had happened, the teacher from the middle class kindergarten clearly wanted to resolve the issue peacefully. So, she took the pretext of "sharing" and tried to get Mu Mu to give the snacks to the little bully.

"Do you know what Mu Mu said?" The teacher deliberately aroused everyone's curiosity first.

Everyone asked in unison: "What did he say?"

The teacher cleared her throat and spoke in a childish voice imitating Mu Mu's: "Teacher, you are wrong. My dad and mom said that sharing means giving out what you have extra, not giving away what you like or need."

"Also, just because he cries loudly doesn't mean he is right, and just because he cries loudly, it doesn't mean everyone should indulge him. That is not right."

Upon hearing this, the teachers in the office suddenly fell silent.

After a few seconds, a teacher whispered ‘serves him right!’

An adult, moreover a teacher, being told off by a child like this, it was truly shameless.

"Tsk, Teacher Yang must have received some benefit from the family of the little bully in their class. Otherwise, why would she be so partial to him?"

Fortunately Mu Mu was a smart kid. Otherwise, they really would have suffered a dumb loss.

"Well, it's not necessarily because she received benefits. Who doesn't know that the child in their class is difficult to deal with? He doesn't listen no matter how much oil or salt you put in. When you run into him, you just get a headache!"

Although they said this, it still wasn't right to do things this way—just because the other children were younger and more sensible, then cheat them under the so-called pretext of "sharing".

It had the flavor of picking on the meek.

But after all, they were colleagues, so everyone could not say much more. Fortunately, the students in their class did not suffer a loss, so the matter could be glossed over.

However, compared to ridiculing Teacher Yang, everyone was more interested in Mu Mu's parents.

It had to be said, these parents really knew how to educate their child!

Many of the teachers had seen Mu Mu's mother. She was very beautiful and looked gentle and soft. I heard she was also a doctor.

But they knew very little about Mu Mu's father. It had been a term since the start of school, and they had never seen him pick up the child. They only occasionally heard the little guy mention that his dad worked out of town, so he was probably very busy.

In fact, Pei Kuang did pick up Mu Mu from school, but because of his identity as a public figure, he didn't get out of the car at the time, and had Auntie go to the kindergarten entrance to pick him up.

There was no way around it. Pei Kuang was quite popular at the moment. He was already a three-time film emperor and had high national recognition.

Therefore, in order to avoid being recognized, it was usually Song Anan who went to the kindergarten if there was anything the parents needed to attend.

In this way, Pei Kuang hadn't been to the kindergarten for about a semester.

Soon it was the end of the semester kindergarten parent-child activity day.

That day, Song Anan looked at the teacher's notice in the class group chat, and her head instantly ached.

Seeing her worried look, Pei Kuang asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Anan blinked her eyes anxiously and said in despair, "The kindergarten teacher wants parents to perform an act at the school parent-child activity."

She couldn't sing or dance, so ever since she was little, performing was what she feared most, to the utmost degree.

"Ahhhhh, when we were little, weren't the children performing for the parents to watch? Why do we still have to perform acts even though we've become parents now?"

The more Song Anan said, the more desperate she became. She just lay down on the sofa and pretended to die. Pei Kuang laughed and walked over, reached out and fished her up, sitting her on the sofa.

"It's okay, you have your husband. I'll perform an act. You just take pictures of me and Mu Mu when the time comes."

Song Anan immediately sat up, "Really?"

Pei Kuang pinched her nose, "When has your husband ever lied to you?"

Song Anan instantly cheered up. That's right, they just said the parents had to perform an act, it didn't necessarily have to be her!

However, she suddenly thought of another problem again. "Wait, you're also going to attend Mu Mu's kindergarten activity this time?"

Pei Kuang raised his eyebrows, "Of course, it's a parent-child activity. I'm Mu Mu's dad, so of course I should go."

Song Anan punched him and said, "Stop beating around the bush. You know what I want to ask."

They had agreed earlier that, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it would be best if she went to Mu Mu's kindergarten.

Pei Kuang smiled and said, "Okay, Mu Mu invited me. He said all the parents of the kindergarten kids would be there this time, so he asked if I could go too."

Hearing this, Song Anan paused for a moment, and the two looked at each other, both understanding what the other was thinking at that moment.

Their original decision not to let Pei Kuang appear at the kindergarten was because they thought it would be better for Mu Mu. At that time, they just wanted the child to grow up in a relatively free environment.

They didn't want him to be labeled as "the son of celebrity Pei Kuang" just because his dad was a public figure.

Mu Mu is Mu Mu. He could be recognized because he is Mu Mu, not because of anything else.

At least in that part of the world that belonged to him, it could be more pure.

This was what Song Anan and Pei Kuang first considered.

However, they overlooked one thing: what the child himself actually thought.

For a child like Mu Mu, the fact that he was able to say it himself showed that he really cared.

Song Anan also suddenly realized that at previous kindergarten events, many parents did go with their children.

She felt bad that she hadn't noticed Mu Mu's reaction at the time, which caused her to miss the child's true feelings.

"How about this: let's explain it simply to Mu Mu. If he still wants you to go, then let's go together!" Song Anan said.

Although Mu Mu was young, he could probably understand if they broke it down for him.

Pei Kuang smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I've talked to him about it already."

Song Anan exclaimed, "What did you say?"

Pei Kuang smiled and said, "I didn't say much, just what we talked about before."

Of course, he also explained his work to Mu Mu, and the potential hassles that people knowing his dad might bring him.

Song Anan asked, "Well, what did he say?"

Thinking of Mu Mu's words at the time, Pei Kuang couldn't help but show a hint of gentleness in his eyes and brows.

The little guy clearly still didn't quite understand, but his reaction at the time still warmed his heart.

"He said, I'm his dad, he's very proud, and won't be bothered at all."

There's a saying that a child's love for his parents is truly unconditional love.

No matter ugly or beautiful, rich or poor, good or bad.

And they don't weigh the pros and cons.
