Rainbow Kindergarten.
At the school gate.
Countless children were looking at their parents outside the fence, their little faces streaming with tears.
For most of these children, it was the first time they were going to be away from their parents, spending a day in a strange place.
"Mommy, don't go, wuu wuu wuu…"
Shen Qinghan leaned against the fence, crying as if her tears cost nothing, weeping like a little tearful figure.
Xu Meng spoke softly to comfort her, "Han Han, don't cry. When school is over in the afternoon, Mommy will come and take you home."
Shen Qinghan continued to cry.
Xu Meng, helpless, could only look to Lin Zichen and say, "Zi Chen, help Aunt Meng take care of Qinghan. Aunt Meng will come to take you home in the afternoon."
"Okay, I understand Aunt Meng," Lin Zichen nodded in response.
Before long, the kindergarten gate was completely closed.
Many children stopped crying when they could no longer see their parents.
After all, with no audience, the actors naturally lost their motivation to perform.
In their stead, the kindergarten teachers began to bustle about.
To make the children like the kindergarten, the teachers spoke gently as they organized the kids to play games.
The game Lin Zichen's class played was arm wrestling to see who was stronger.
The game had simple rules that were easy for the children to understand.
Most importantly, it involved face-to-face interaction, which helped the children get to know each other quickly.
Lin Zichen wasn't interested in arm wrestling and thought about finding a corner to work out.
But seeing Shen Qinghan wanting to play, he ultimately accompanied her.
After playing for a while and seeing that Shen Qinghan had fully integrated into the game atmosphere, laughing and talking with a little girl with buns in her hair, Lin Zichen quietly left the group to find a place to do push-ups.
Not long after he left, Shen Qinghan suddenly wanted to pee and went to the restroom hand in hand with the bun-haired girl.
They went there chatting and laughing, but when they came out from the restroom, their relationship had soured.
"You're so big and still wearing diapers, shame shame, I don't want to play with someone who wears diapers!"
"I'm not, I don't…"
Facing the disdain from the girl with bun hair, Shen Qinghan felt somewhat at a loss.
"Don't play with her everybody, she's so big and still wears diapers, it's too shameful!"
Whenever other little girls passed by, the bun-haired girl would tell them not to play with Shen Qinghan.
Shen Qinghan was nearly in tears upon seeing this.
She had originally hoped to make many friends at school, so how had everything suddenly turned out this way?
She blamed the diapers and quickly ran into the restroom to take them off.
But even so, the bun-haired girl still scorned her.
She even gave her the nickname "Diaper Princess" and intended to make everyone ostracize her.
The malice of children always comes without reason and suddenly.
Shen Qinghan felt the malice of the bun-haired girl and instantly lost all expectation for life in kindergarten.
Wiping her tears in grievance, Shen Qinghan turned and ran off to look for Lin Zichen.
She now finally understood that only Lin Zichen wouldn't mind her wetting her pants and that he would always be her friend.

[Your Biological Level has advanced to Ordinary Second Order]
Lin Zichen was exercising with focus when he suddenly saw an unexpected prompt in the void.
Biological Level breakthrough!
He was somewhat incredulous and quickly stopped to open his character panel to check.
[Name: Lin Zichen]
[Age: 4 years old]
[Biological Level: Ordinary (Second Order)]
[Biometric Attributes: Use It or Lose It]
His Biological Level had indeed broken through, from Ordinary First Order to Ordinary Second Order.
A few days ago, he had tested his physical data.
He could lift an 80kg rice bin with one hand.
He could jump 1.2 meters high from a standstill.
The sprinter could break 11 seconds in the 100-meter dash...
All these metrics were still a great distance from the world records of my previous life.
But altogether, they placed me among the elite of ordinary people.
Without relevant professional training, it was simply impossible to reach this level.
"So... does a common Second Order level equate to elite adults from my previous life?"
For the first time, Lin Zichen gained a certain understanding of the common stages of Biological Level.
Gauging by the strength of the common Second Order, he figured the Third Order's power should be enough to shatter the world records of his past life.
Moreover, by a wide margin.
While Lin Zichen was lost in these thoughts, Shen Qinghan's voice came from up ahead.
"Chen Chen!"
"Chen Chen, I miss my mom!"
"I want to go home..."
Shen Qinghan trotted up to Lin Zichen, her eyes brimming with tears as she poured out her grievances to him.
Lin Zichen was puzzled.
Hadn't she just made a good friend?
Why was she suddenly crying and wanting to go home?
"What happened?"
Lin Zichen wiped away Shen Qinghan's tears, asking in a gentle voice.
Shen Qinghan sobbed as she recounted her recent ordeal.
After listening, Lin Zichen patted her head and said, "It's okay, we'll always be good friends."
"Yes, always good friends, pinky promise... hang on a noose... for a hundred years, no changing it!"
Shen Qinghan, smiling through tears, hooked pinkies with Lin Zichen.
...
During nap time.
As soon as the homeroom teacher Peach left, Shen Qinghan immediately left her own bed and, like a little kitten, snuggled into Lin Zichen's blanket next to her.
Because of the ostracism experienced that morning by the girl with the bun, she had become even clingier to Lin Zichen, relying on him more than ever before.
Lin Zichen thought it was too hot and uncomfortable for two people to share such a small bed, but he let her have her way regardless.
Soon, Lin Zichen fell asleep as well.
Partway through, he suddenly felt warmth spreading over him.
He quickly woke up and pulled back the blanket to see, discovering that Shen Qinghan had wet the bed.
The mattress was soaked through a large area.
Lin Zichen was somewhat exasperated.
Wasn't she wearing a diaper?
Where was the diaper?
Why didn't it work?
As Lin Zichen was wondering, a little boy who hadn't fallen asleep next to them, with sharp eyes saw the wet mattress and immediately pointed and yelled:
"Bed-wetter!"
"Look, Chen Chen wet the bed!"
"And Han Han too, how embarrassing!"
"..."
The other kids around heard the shouting, and turned to look over at Lin Zichen's side.
Upon seeing the large wet spot on Lin Zichen's mattress, they began to taunt and jeer.
"So big and still wetting the bed, both of you are naughty kids!"
"We shouldn't play with them anymore!"
"Bed-wetting King, from now on, you two will be called the Bed-wetting Kings!"
"..."
Shen Qinghan woke up to the sound of mockery and rejection around her, her eyes reddened, and she burst into tears: "Mommy, I don't want to go to kindergarten anymore, I want to go home, *sob*..."
If it were just him being ostracized, Lin Zichen would not bother with these little kids.
But hearing the cries from Shen Qinghan beside him, he knew he had to do something.
So, he jumped out of bed with force, landing with a "thud" on the tabletop, looked down imperiously at the gaggle of little brats in the class, and commanded in an extremely domineering voice:
"Shut up, all of you!"
