Shen Hai Xiao Ye

Chapter 708 Wei Wei Does Not Want to Go to School

Everyone around burst into laughter at these words.

For the next few days, Lu Wanqing took the children around Earth, indulging in all sorts of food and drink, from seafood to forest delicacies, even catching some from the sky to eat. They experienced everything.

In the live stream, hundreds of millions of fans watched with great interest. Before they knew it, the entire winter break had passed.

With school about to resume, Lu Wanqing and Lu Yang had to take the children back to the city. Lan Lan, Shu Shu, and Xiao Yi remained in the Federation, while Harvey and Cui Cui returned to the Empire with Xavier and Lu Yang.

Harvey and Cui Cui, being from the Empire, were enrolled in an Imperial middle school. They had to report back to the Empire first. Once the exchange student program between the Empire and the Federation was finalized, they could transfer to the Federation.

This time, Lu Wanqing did not accompany them back to the Empire with Wei Wei. She had lived in the Empire for many years, and in the Federation, she hadn't had much time to spend with Lan Lan, Xiao Yi, and Shu Shu.

After Harvey and Cui Cui departed, Lu Wanqing, along with Lan Lan, Xiao Yi, and Shu Shu, went to register for school.

All three children were enrolled in Imperial Middle School, so they could register together.

For Lan Lan, Xiao Yi, and Shu Shu, having their mother accompany them for school registration was a first in their lives. They were all very happy.

Lu Wanqing was also pleased. She bought new schoolbags for the three children before taking them to register one by one.

Once the older children were registered, it was little Wei Wei's turn.

Wei Wei was now also of school age. Lu Wanqing hesitated for a long time but decided to send Wei Wei to school.

Although Wei Wei insisted she knew how to read and was a big girl, Lu Wanqing felt that Wei Wei needed friends. Children couldn't always be with adults; otherwise, when Wei Wei grew up, she might not know how to interact with children her own age, which could be a fatal blow.

Wei Wei, however, was different. Hearing that her mama was still going to send her to kindergarten, she was stunned. She felt like she had seen a ghost. How could Mama do this?

"Mama, we had an agreement! I'm going to skip grades. I can go to middle school. I don't want to go to kindergarten!" Wei Wei protested loudly.

"No," Lu Wanqing refused ruthlessly.

What would a toddler of two or three years old do in a middle school? Be the school mascot?

"Mama, my psychological age is already twelve and a half!" Wei Wei shouted angrily.

Lu Wanqing was speechless.

Lu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then picked Wei Wei up and asked seriously, "Did Wei Wei have any close friends of the same age in her past life?"

Wei Wei froze at the question, then her eyes widened in shock.

Lu Wanqing continued, "If Wei Wei doesn't go to school in this life, you won't meet them and become good friends with them."

"But..." Wei Wei was conflicted.

Lu Wanqing was surprised. Wei Wei's expression suggested she really had good friends in her past life.

Lu Wanqing became curious.

"Who were Wei Wei's good friends in her past life?" Lu Wanqing asked, intrigued.

Wei Wei looked up at her mother, pouting. "But I really don't want to go to school anymore, Mama. Can I not go to school, but can I go find them to play with after school, during extracurricular time?"

This child...

Lu Wanqing was speechless, but after thinking it over, she didn't reject the child's proposal. She smiled and said, "Okay."

Wei Wei had a solid foundation of knowledge, and skipping a year occasionally wouldn't hurt. The most important thing was for Wei Wei to understand that school wasn't for others, but for herself, and that she should want to go.

Wei Wei was bewildered. She looked at her mother with suspicion.

It wasn't just Wei Wei; Shu Shu, standing nearby, also looked perplexed. She tilted her head, feeling that this wasn't like her mother's usual way of doing things.

Shu Shu suddenly thought of the parasitic insect infestation. Could Mama have been infected by the insects?

She couldn't dwell on this possibility. The more she thought about it, the more frightened Shu Shu became.

Lu Wanqing was unaware that Shu Shu had misunderstood. She looked at Wei Wei, then at the large tree nearby.

Many koi carp were hanging from the trees in the courtyard. She suddenly remembered that she had taught Shu Shu how to weave koi carp before. These koi carp...

Lost in thought, Lu Wanqing turned to Shu Shu and asked with a smile, "Shu Shu, did you weave these koi carp?"

Shu Shu seemed a little shy but nodded. "Yes."

Lu Wanqing found it amusing. "Why did you weave so many?" They had covered the entire tree.

Indeed, the koi carp, encased in transparent glass covers and hung on the tree, looked quite beautiful.

Shu Shu hesitated, then said, "When Mama and Sister Cui Cui were trapped on Earth, I wove these koi carp for you. Mama said that koi carp symbolize good luck, so I wanted to weave more. For every day Mama and Sister Cui Cui were trapped on Earth, I wove one. If koi carp could really bring good luck, they would surely bless Mama and Sister Cui Cui to be rescued safely."

Lu Wanqing was stunned. She never imagined that these koi carp came about in this way...

Were these all blessing koi carp Shu Shu had woven for her and Cui Cui?

Lu Wanqing's heart pounded. After a moment's thought, she walked over to Shu Shu, opened her arms, and gently embraced Shu Shu, just as she used to when they were little.

"Thank you. Mama really likes them," Lu Wanqing whispered in Shu Shu's ear.

Shu Shu's cheeks instantly flushed red. She couldn't help but nuzzle her mother gently.

After a while, Lu Wanqing released Shu Shu. Looking at Shu Shu's beautiful face, she couldn't help but smile and kiss her.

Shu Shu froze for a moment. Her eyes widened as she stared at her mother in shock.

"Mama loves you," Lu Wanqing said.

Shu Shu reacted, feeling overjoyed. She also reached out and hugged her mommy.

"I love Mama too," Shu Shu said.

Wei Wei watched from the side, thinking that Sister Shu Shu and Mama were acting strangely. Why were they hugging like that? It was so mushy.

As Wei Wei thought this, she remembered that Mama had agreed not to send her to school. She instantly became happy again. No school, hooray!

However, Wei Wei's smile didn't last long. School started. Shu Shu, Brother Lan Lan, and Brother Xiao Yi all left for school after breakfast. Only she was left alone at home.

Looking at the empty house after her siblings had left, Wei Wei belatedly began to feel a sense of unease. Especially when her mother also became busy, spending all day studying in the study, she felt even more lonely.

"Mama!" Wei Wei couldn't help but run to the study, wanting to talk to her mother.

"Mama needs to study. Wei Wei, play by yourself, okay? Don't disturb Mama's studies." Lu Wanqing took out one of Wei Wei's favorite dolls and coaxed her.

Wei Wei was stunned but after a moment of hesitation, she finally hugged her doll.
