Xiao Yun laughed out loud. "You said that men don't cry easily, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's what I said. So it's impossible for me to cry," said Chubs loudly.
Then who was the one who had been so anxious earlier that they were on the verge of crying?
However, Xiao Yun didn't say it out loud. He had to give Chubs a little credit.
"By the way, Brother Xiao, do you want to go out for a while? I'm having a headache from their crying here," said Chubs with a frown.
Xiao Yun looked at the teacher who appeared so busy and nodded. Well, it was better to go out for a breath of fresh air than stay indoors. These children were making his head hurt.
So the two took advantage of the teacher's lack of attention and secretly ran out.
Chubs stretched out his hand, took a deep breath, and let out a long sigh. "The air outside is still better."
"Stop it." Xiao Yun smiled and patted his belly.
To be honest, Xiao Yun liked to pat Chubs' belly very much. He thought that Chubs' belly was very funny.
Chubs was still young at the moment, so he was not in a hurry to lose weight. But if Chubs was still like this when he grew up, Xiao Yun thought that he might force Chubs to lose weight.
After all, being too fat was not good for the body as it posed many hidden dangers to one's health.
In any case, it was for Chubs' good.
Xiao Yun thought that since he had come out, he might as well go to Lin Xi's classroom to see how Lin Xi was doing. He turned around and left.
Chubs was still feeling the wind of nature. When he saw Xiao Yun leave, he hurriedly followed behind. "Brother Xiao, where are you going? Why didn't you call me?"
"You're speaking so loudly because you're afraid that others won't notice that we've sneaked out, right?" asked Xiao Yun sarcastically.
Sure enough, after Xiao Yun said this, Chubs immediately shut up. He even covered his mouth with his hand, afraid that he would make even the slightest noise.
Even the sound of him walking became quieter.
Xiao Yun looked at him and thought that if others saw them like this, they would probably think that he was going to steal information.
Xiao Yun walked to the classroom where Lin Xi was and stopped.
But Chubs still didn't understand. He used his eyes to ask why they aren't moving forward.
When he followed Xiao Yun's gaze and looked over, he saw that Xiao Yun was staring at a little girl.
The little girl sat in her own seat without crying or making a scene, forming a sharp contrast with the crying child beside her.
"Wow, Brother Xiao, that girl is too beautiful," said Chubs. He couldn't help himself.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yun's head whip around towards him with a gaze as sharp as a knife.
No matter how slow Chubs was, he knew what this meant.
"Brother Xiao, this little sister of yours, is she someone you like?" asked Chubs sneakily into Xiao Yun's ear.
Xiao Yun gave him a sideways glance, then continued to look at Lin Xi and said, "She is mine, so keep your thoughts to yourself."
Chubs understood.
At this moment, Lin Xi, who was in the room, seemed to have sensed something and looked towards the door.
When she saw Xiao Yun through the little window in the door, she became very excited. But she didn't dare to sneak out. Lin Xi was looking cuter than usual today.
Xiao Yun waved his hand at her, indicating that she should stay in the classroom and that he would be leaving soon.
Lin Xi smiled sweetly and said goodbye to Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun patted Chubs and the two of them left.
When Xiao Yun and Chubs had snuck out of the classroom, the teacher hadn't noticed. When they snuck back in this time, the teacher still hadn't noticed.
The two of them sat quietly in their seats, waiting for school to end at noon.
At noon, they could choose to eat in the kindergarten cafeteria or be taken home by their parents for lunch.
That morning, Li Ping had just told Xiao Yun and Lin Xi that she would come to take them home for lunch.
So when school ended, Xiao Yun and Chubs said their goodbyes, and Xiao Yun went to pick up Lin Xi before walking out together.
At this time, Li Ping was already waiting at the gate of the kindergarten.
When she saw the two of them coming out, she wanted to hold one in each hand, but Lin Xi insisted on holding Xiao Yun's hand.
Thus, the trio ended with Lin Xi holding her mother in one hand and Xiao Yun in the other.
Xiao Yun planned to tell Li Ping about his plans for that evening in advance.
"Aunty, I won't go home after school tonight. You can just come to pick Xi Xi up," said Xiao Yun.
Li Ping curiously asked, "What are you going to do tonight?"
At this moment, Lin Xi also looked at Xiao Yun
After all, he was still a child. Although Li Ping trusted him, she still had to ask him in advance. Otherwise, what if something happened?
"I just want to look for recyclables around the school. There are quite a lot of peddlers selling things at the gate of the kindergarten after school." Xiao Yun explained his plans.
"Why do you want to pick up recyclables?" asked Li Ping. She didn't expect Xiao Yun to do this.
"To sell it for money, of course. You'll know when the time comes," said Xiao Yun.
"Does your father know about this?" Li Ping thought she should at least tell Xiao He.
"My father knows about me picking up recyclables, but I haven't told him that I'll be back later tonight. If my father doesn't come back at noon, I'll have to trouble Aunty to tell my father," said Xiao Yun.
Li Ping was surprised. She didn't expect a three-and-a-half-year-old child to have such a sharp tongue and a clear mind.
So she thought for a moment before saying, "How about this, Aunty will accompany you tonight. At least it'll be safer."
Xiao Yun quickly waved his hand to refuse. He knew that Li Ping actually had a lot of work to do, especially since she had taken up a few part-time jobs to help support her family.
How could he waste Li Ping's time to take care of him?
"Fine then. Aunty has some recyclables at home anyway. So once I've collected enough, I'll hand them over to you," said Li Ping.
Now that a three-year-old child already knew how to make money, she naturally had to support him.
At this time, Li Ping thought of a saying, that children from poor families take on responsibilities at an earlier age.
She thought that Xiao Yun did this because he wanted to help Xiao He lighten his burden.
But she was only half right. Xiao Yun's ambition was not limited to this.
"Thank you, Aunty." Xiao Yun generously accepted Li Ping's kindness. After all, if he only relied on himself, he wouldn't be able to get very far in life.
In any case, he was on the right track now.
When the time came, he would return the money he had earned from others' generosity.
Xiao Yun already had a plan in mind.
At this time, Lin Xi, who had been listening quietly from the side said, "Mom, I don't want to go back tonight. Can I go with brother Xiao Yun?"
"Well..." Li Ping was now in a bit of a dilemma.
Although she trusted Xiao Yun, the last time she let her daughter go with him was to a place close by.
This time, she would have to let her daughter follow Xiao Yun to a place that was further away.
