From that day on, Luo Mengmeng completely clung to Gu Zhihan, following him wherever he went like a little tail that couldn't be shaken off.
Even bathing and sleeping were no exceptions!
This was probably what they call blatantly acting like a hooligan by virtue of being younger!
Gu Zhihan was almost driven crazy, but whenever he dared to refuse her requests, she would cry her eyes out, and then his mother, without asking for any explanation, would immediately chase him down the street for two blocks with a rolling pin...
It was simply too tragic!!
Finally!
All of this ended after two years!
Three-year-old Gu Zhihan and three-year-old Mengmeng were going to kindergarten!
But before registration, Mengmeng's mom had a big worry: her Mengmeng still couldn't speak. How could she feel at ease sending her to kindergarten?
Yes... you read that right, Mengmeng, already three years old, still couldn't speak!
They had seen many doctors, all of whom said there was no issue with her development, just a psychological reluctance to speak.
Mengmeng's mom was nearly worried to death over this.
"Mengmeng's mom, what's wrong?" Gu's mom, who was just preparing to take Gu Zhihan to register for kindergarten, stepped out of the house only to see Mengmeng's mom sighing heavily.
"Oh, look, Mengmeng can't speak yet, and I don't feel comfortable sending her to kindergarten. I was just thinking about whether to take her to the doctor first and let her go to kindergarten after she gets better," Mengmeng's mom said, shaking her head while looking down at Mengmeng at her side.
No!
Although Mengmeng couldn't speak, she wasn't deaf. Fearing that her mom might not sign her up for kindergarten, her little body immediately clung to Gu Zhihan, wrapping her arms and legs tightly around him, just like a sloth clinging to a tree trunk.
She couldn't let her husband go to the legendary school (prison) alone!
"Don't hug me!" Gu Zhihan's delicate, jade-like cheeks instantly tensed up, mercilessly trying to push her away.
But the more he tried to push her away, the tighter she clung, as if she was going to strangle him.
In the end, Gu Zhihan, in order to save his own life, had no choice but to give up and let her cling to him like that.
"What's there to worry about? Hanhan is with her!" Gu's mom stepped forward, took Mengmeng's mom's hand, and spoke earnestly, "And besides, there are so many kids in kindergarten. Maybe when Mengmeng sees everyone else talking, she'll learn to speak too!"
"You know, kids have a very strong ability to imitate!" Gu's mom suggested with utmost sincerity.
Luo Mengmeng also hurriedly nodded her little head at the side, agreeing with her godmother's words.
Gu Zhihan also imperceptibly nodded his head.
"Maybe..." After a moment of silence, Luo's mom finally relented, "Then let's go and register."
The truth was, Mengmeng's mom's easy relenting wasn't entirely due to Gu's mom's words; it was more out of disappointment with the hospitals. Over the past two years, she had taken Mengmeng to hospitals everywhere, but not a single doctor could get Mengmeng to speak. Now, she could only hope for a miracle. It was worth a try!
"Let's go quickly!"
Gu's mom was instantly overjoyed, hurriedly holding her son with her left hand and her daughter-in-law with her right, heading to the kindergarten registration office together.
When September 1st came, and it was officially the first day of kindergarten, the Luo parents both had to go out of town for work, so once again, it was Gu's mom who personally took her son and daughter-in-law to kindergarten.
