After Xiao Jinghuai left, Song Song smiled at Sister-in-law Zhou nearby, "Sister-in-law Zhou, what did Mr. Xiao mean by that?"
Sister-in-law Zhou glanced at the young girl, cleared her throat seriously, "This isn’t something the Young Madam should be concerned about. Although today is Saturday, we can’t slack on courses; they begin promptly at one in the afternoon. If the Young Madam has other matters to attend to, please arrange them in the morning. That’s all, I’ll go and be busy now."
"..."
Song Song was dumbfounded for a moment, thinking how these two are really alike; they change moods faster than flipping a book.
She originally planned to go to the hospital to be with her mother this weekend, but now it looks like she’ll only be able to stay there for half a day.
But this means she’ll have to burn the midnight oil writing that 10,000-word review again, doesn’t it?
Ever since she got involved with Xiao Jinghuai, she really hasn’t had a moment to herself!
Song Song finished breakfast, gave a quick word of explanation to Sister-in-law Zhou, and then went out to the hospital. Her previous residence was quite close to the hospital, but now she has to switch subway lines twice to reach it.
Thinking of this, Song Song felt a bit powerless. She walked to the subway’s ticket buying area and was about to purchase a ticket when she heard a loud female voice not far off...
"Hey! Little kid, you can’t just wander in here, why are you alone? Where are your family?"
"..."
Song Song looked over in confusion and saw a child in camouflage clothing standing there, wearing a stylish beret and carrying a small backpack. The figure and appearance seemed somewhat familiar to her.
Taking the ticket and walking over, she indeed saw Xiao Beibei standing there with a serious expression, both little hands crossed like a little adult, but to Song Song that little look was unbearably cute.
She was a bit surprised, after all, this is a civilian subway station!
"Bao Bei, why are you here?"
Xiao Beibei, already in a bad mood from being stopped, felt even worse seeing Song Song, turned his little head away and said, "Hmph! None of your business."
The subway station staff nearby asked, "Are you this child’s mom?"
"Oh, no, no, no," Song Song quickly shook her hand, smiling awkwardly, "I... I’m his class teacher."
Xiao Beibei muttered from his little mouth, "I don’t have such a silly mom!"
Though the voice was small, the nearby staff still heard, frowning, "Teacher, this child needs proper guidance, clearly spoiled by parents. Since you’re his teacher, please take responsibility! Don’t let him roam around here without supervision."
"Yes, yes, don’t worry, leave him to me!" Song Song smiled awkwardly.
She was really unlucky today, having just sent away a big problem, only to encounter a small one upon leaving...
"I don’t want you to manage me." Xiao Beibei walked to the side as if in a huff.
Song Song quickly followed, crouched down and smiled at the little guy face to face, "Don’t be like this! Meeting each other means we’re destined! Tell your teacher, why are you here alone?"
"I told you, I don’t need you to manage me." Xiao Beibei’s chubby face was full of impatience.
"Alright! Then I’ll call your dad. I’m sure he doesn’t know you’re here..."
Song Song could tell at a glance that this little guy must have run away from home.
Xiao Beibei’s expression immediately changed upon hearing this, "W-wait, don’t call my dad, I just want to eat KFC. Everyone in class says... it’s really delicious."
Song Song paused her movement to take out her phone from the bag, "You’ve never had it?"
Xiao Beibei lowered his head, "No, my dad won’t let me eat those things, he says they’re junk food."
Song Song was speechless! KFC is indeed junk food, but occasionally letting a child satisfy their curiosity and appetite is perfectly fine, that man is truly... an utterly heartless capitalist to the extreme.
"Come on! Then teacher will take you to eat..."
