Chapter 198 – I Have A Mama!

“…my Mama can’t come, so tomorrow when you come to my Papa’s house to play, you can only see my Papa!” During the break, Xixi said to her friends with a hint of sadness.

“I just want to see Xixi’s dad, Xixi’s dad can make delicious food!” Lan Xin was now looking forward to lunch every day, sharing lunch with Xixi. She was also looking forward to the weekends, when she could go to Xixi’s house and eat even more delicious food.”

Yang Luoqi, unlike Lan Xin, didn’t always think about food. She was thinking about what Xixi’s mother looked like. The little girl spoke softly, “I haven’t even seen Xixi’s mom yet! It’s always Xixi’s dad who picks her up.”

“Mama is very busy and doesn’t have time!” Xixi pouted. In fact, the little girl also wished her mother could come and pick her up, but she still tried to defend her mother.

Chen Shiyun was playing with a building block toy on the side, and she was also listening to her friends’ conversation. At this moment, she finally found an opportunity to interrupt and said straightforwardly, “Oh, yes, we haven’t seen Xixi’s mom. Maybe Xixi doesn’t have a mom like Xiao Ling?”

Xiao Ling was the nickname of a little girl named Ding Ling in the middle cla.s.s. She also wore a black bell collar around her neck, which was very cute, so everyone likes to call her Xiao Ling.

However, Xiao Ling’s life experience was quite pitiful. When she was very, very young, she lost her mother. Her father raised her alone, but he was also very busy with work and had little time to take care of her. This resulted in Xiao Ling having a timid and introverted personality, and she almost became a person with autism.1When she was sent to kindergarten, Teacher Mu took care of her attentively and she improved a little.

Chen Shiyun didn’t mean to be hurtful with her words. She was a bit of a thick-skinned2person and didn’t realize the hurtful nature of her words. She just blurted them out without thinking!

However, Xixi was annoyed. In the past, when she was abroad, she thought she didn’t have a father. Seeing others being accompanied by their parents, she felt very sad. But fortunately, after returning to China, she found out that she did have a father. She was so happy that she couldn’t describe it. That was why she likes to stick to her father!

But that uncomfortable feeling has now been brought up again by Chen Shiyun, and the little girl was very angry. She pouted and raised her voice by eight degrees, saying, “I am not without a Mama! My Mama is even more beautiful than your Mama!”

Xixi rarely gets into an argument with others!3

She was a little girl with a gentle personality, like a little deer. After getting angry, she became fl.u.s.tered and her eyes involuntarily turned red. She couldn’t hold back her tears, and they welled up all at once.

The change came too quickly. Even Chen Shiyun, who was talking to them, was confused, let alone Lan Xin and Yang Luoqi.

“Wuwu, I’m not without a Mama,” Xixi felt particularly wronged in her heart. She finally cried out, feeling so sad.

“Ah? Xixi, don’t cry,” Yang Luoqi was a bit helpless.

When Lan Xin saw Xixi crying, her sense of justice slowly rose in her heart. She stood up and angrily scolded Chen Shiyun in a loud voice, “Chen Shiyun, you’re bullying people again! You even made Xixi cry! I’m going to tell Teacher Mu!”

After speaking, the little chubby girl turned and ran out.

Chen Shiyun became a little fl.u.s.tered. Although she usually liked to “bully” others, she just thought it was fun and didn’t have the intention of making other children cry.

Moreover, this time she never thought of bullying Xixi!

Since Xixi gave her delicious food, Chen Shiyun has never bullied Xixi again. She didn’t expect that one unintentional remark would make Xixi cry!

For some reason, when Chen Shiyun saw Xixi shedding tears, she felt uneasy and fl.u.s.tered. She even forgot to argue with Lan Xin.

Teacher Mu quickly followed Lan Xin and came over in a hurry. She saw Xixi crying sadly, while Yang Luoqi was comforting her with tears in her eyes.

“What’s the matter, what happened?” Teacher Mu picked up the small hands of Xixi and Yang Luoqi and asked gently.

“Chen Shiyun bullied Xixi!” Lanxin reported.

Yang Luoqi also nodded while rubbing her eyes.

“So Qiqi, why are you crying too?” Teacher Mu asked helplessly. She first comforted Xixi, who was crying the most, and hugged the little girl in her arms. “Don’t cry, Xixi, tell teacher if there is anything bothering you.”

“Chen Shiyun, can you tell teacher what you did?” Teacher Mu also asked Chen Shiyun kindly.

At this moment, Chen Shiyun, who was already very remorseful and scared, also burst into tears.

Okay, three out of four children present were crying, so Teacher Mu had to turn her attention to Lan Xin.

Seeing her little friends crying, Lan Xin also inexplicably welled up with tears herself, but her sense of responsibility still made her stand up and tell the teacher, “It was said by Chen Shiyun. She said that Xixi didn’t have a mom, and then Xixi cried!”

“I have a Mama, and my Mama is a big star.” Xixi became even more sad, and she burst into tears. The second half of her sentence was barely audible.

“I, I didn’t mean it, I, I didn’t mean Xixi didn’t have a mom,” Chen Shiyun cried while trying to defend herself, “I…I didn’t mean it that way. I was just asking…”

“Xixi has a mother. Teacher Mu has seen Xixi’s mother before. It’s just because she’s too busy and doesn’t show up often!” Teacher Mu understood the situation and said with a bitter smile, “And, no matter what, Chen Shiyun, you can’t talk to other children like that, okay?”

Chen Shiyun moved closer to Teacher Mu, sobbing and choking, saying “Teacher Mu, I know my mistake.”

“It’s good that you know. Come, Xixi, Teacher Mu will explain to you.” Teacher Mu gently said to Xixi, “Chen Shiyun may not be good at expressing herself. Actually, she didn’t mean to say that. Maybe she was just concerned about you because she hasn’t seen your mother, but she said the wrong thing.”

Chen Shiyun nodded vigorously.

Xixi sobbed and pouted, feeling wronged, but her emotions stabilized a little.

“Now, Chen Shiyun, since you did something wrong and said something wrong, shouldn’t you say something to Xixi? Your teacher has taught you this.” Teacher Mu looked kindly at Chen Shiyun.

Chen Shiyun sniffed and said loudly, “I’m sorry, Xixi. I shouldn’t have said those things. I’m sorry!”

“What else?” Teacher Mu reminded.

“Can you forgive me? I won’t do it again.” Chen Shiyun looked at Xixi anxiously.

Teacher Mu then hugged Xixi and coaxed her, “Look, Xixi, Chen Shiyun apologized so sincerely. Do you think you can forgive Chen Shiyun for her unintentional mistake?”

Xixi’s emotions had calmed down by now. Although she was still sobbing from time to time, she was not as upset as before, and her mood became calm.

Chen Shiyun watched anxiously and finally saw Xixi nodding her head lightly. She breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still very heavy!

…

In the evening, when Yang Yi picked up Xixi from kindergarten, the little girl had recovered completely and said goodbye to her little friends with a smile, just like usual.

“Goodbye Xin’er! Goodbye Zhaoyu! Goodbye Chen Shiyun!”

However, Chen Shiyun was pulled by her mother and bravely walked up to Yang Yi.

“Uncle Yang, I want to apologize to you and Xixi. This morning, I said that Xixi didn’t have a mother, which made Xixi cry. I’m sorry, I know it was wrong!” The strong little girl was not timid in the face of adults, but bravely apologized.

Obviously, Chen Shiyun’s mother was informed of the matter by Teacher Mu and immediately asked Chen Shiyun to apologize again. However, Chen Shiyun was also great and really apologized very seriously!

“It’s okay, I’m not even angry anymore!” Xixi held Chen Shiyun’s hand and said with a smile, “But my Mama is really beautiful, super beautiful!”

It has been almost half a day since the incident, and the anger in Xixi’s heart has long since dissipated, let alone, the little girl was not a person to hold grudges.

“Really?” Chen Shiyun exclaimed.

Yang Yi smiled as he watched the conversation between the two children, and Chen Shiyun’s mother was also quietly apologizing to him, explaining the situation.

“It’s okay, children sometimes speak without thinking. Isn’t there an idiom called ‘children speak without scruples’?” Yang Yi calmly waved his hand to Chen Shiyun’s mother. “By the way, tomorrow your Chen Shiyun will come to our house to play. I made a map for you guys. I guess you might have to pa.s.s through Jiangchuan. It’s quite complicated to go around, so I made a hand-drawn map for each parent…”
