Right Here Waiting For You - Chapter 42

Chapter 42: My Husband’s Voice

“You can come to me! I want to be your husband, too!” said the boy, puckering his mouth.

“No!” Ning Tiantian immediately refused, and said loudly, “you are much uglier than my husband. I don’t want you!”

The rejected boy burst into tears.

When Miss Mi heard the cry, she came in. She knew that it must be Ning Tiantian who made the boy cry, as she was the only one in her class who was capable of “bullying” a boy. After coaxing the little boy into stopping crying, she told everyone about the shut down of the school bus. She had told their parents to pick them up after school.

When school was over, Ning Tiantian sat in the classroom and waited for Li Yanmo to come. She looked like a good baby.

Li Yanmo wouldn’t leave his school for another 30 minutes, so she had to wait half an hour.

“Tiantian, don’t wait for your husband. I’ll buy you ice cream!”

“Tiantian, you can’t eat your husband, but you can eat ice cream.”

The boys in the class fought for taking Ning Tiantian and Cookie to the opposite dessert shop. They didn’t care that Ning Tiantian was betrothed as a child, as long as Ning Tiantian would agree to be their girlfriend.

“I am not going!” Ning Tiantian clutched her desk firmly because she promised Inky that she would wait for him.

“They only have fifty strawberry ice creams today. First come, first served. If you don’t go now, it’ll be sold out,” said Cookie with a grin.

“Really?” For a while, Ning Tiantian was struggling. Then, she grabbed her school bag and ran out. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? What if it’s sold out?”

Anyway, she still had half an hour. After she bought ice cream and returned, Inky wouldn’t find out.

The boys were surprised to see how Ning Tiantian changed her mind in a second.

The boys were willing to buy ice cream only for Ning Tiantian and Cookie. Other girls got jealous of this, especially the chubby girl, Zhou Xiaoxiao. She looked at Ning Tiantian and Cookie scornfully, then raised her head, pretending that she didn’t care at all.

“Hum, ice cream… My father said that he would take me to taste shark fin in the evening!” Zhou Xiaoxiao said.

“She is jealous. It’s just sour grapes. We don’t care about her!” a boy said.

“Ignore her! Ignore her!” another boy added.

The kids laughed at Zhou Xiaoxiao, then followed Ning Tiantian and Cookie out.

Zhou Xiaoxiao stamped her feet out of anger. Her fat belly shook. She ran into the luxurious car on the roadside and left school.

When Li Yanmo came to Ning Tiantian’s preschool, he saw Ning Tiantian surrounded by a group of boys, and they were walking toward the opposite dessert shop just when he stopped his bicycle.

“Ning Tiantian.” Under a big sycamore tree, the young boy stood against the light, making it difficult for him to be seen clearly. His voice was a little indifferent, which dispelled the summer heat.

“It’s my husband’s voice!” Ning Tiantian stopped at once and looked around. When she saw Li Yanmo, she immediately pushed away the boys beside her and ran toward him.

“Husband, you were supposed to leave school in half an hour.”

Ning Tiantian looked at his angry face, and her happy tone gradually turned into uneasy. What was wrong with her husband?

“I told you to wait for me in the classroom.” He couldn’t help but sneer.

Li Yanmo felt like an idiot. He had been worried about Ning Tiantian getting bored in the classroom alone. So he asked the head teacher to leave to pick her up earlier. However, when he came, he saw her talking and laughing happily with a group of boys.

Chapter 41: 5s/6s Class

It seemed that Ning Tiantian’s 4s/5s class ended with the snow. Cookie was happy again. Ning Tiantian was still a little dizzy. When she had nothing to do, she stormed Li Yanmo’s phone with countless, endless calls.

On the first day of her new term, Ning Tiantian became a 5s/6s Class student.

Her class teacher was still Miss Mi. A preschool teacher always taught the same students until the students finished their preschool.

After the first two years in the preschool, the 5s/6s Class students had gotten used to their school life. They even looked down at the new students who cried at the school gate, completely forgetting how they had shed tears on their first day.

The children in the 5s/6s Class got to understand that there was a difference between boys and girls. Some boys began to discuss which girls were better looking, and the girls discussed which boys are cute.

“Tiantian is sweet. She’s like a piece of candy when she smiles!”

“But I think Cookie is also very good-looking…”

The most popular girls in the preschool were Ning Tiantian and Cookie, and many little boys began to use all kinds of childish methods to show the two girls their attention on all kinds of occasions.

When Ning Tiantain’s desk got messy, a little boy immediately came to help her clean up the desk. On the day when it was Cookie’s turn to clean the classroom, boys scrambled to clean the room. When Ning Tiantian went to the water dispenser, boys surrounded her and took out all kinds of drinks for her to choose from.

Ning Tiantian and Cookie could do nothing about the boys’ crazy courtship.

Of course, some boys were much more surprising. At noon, when Ning Tiantian was having lunch in the classroom, a little boy gave a bunch of dog tail grass to Ning Tiantian, saying that the grass meant a silent and secret love.

Ning Tiantian was furious at the grass.

“Take your dog tail away from me. I have a husband!” Ning Tiantian rested her arms on the hips, stepped on the stool with one foot, and glared at the little boy in front of her.

“You’re too young to have a husband.” The little boy retorted upon her.

Ning Tiantian proudly raised her chin at him. “We had a betrothal from our moms’ bellies.”

Cookie smiled. She had become immune to Ning Tiantian showing off her husband all the time.

“What is a betrothal?” A group of little boys came round and asked Ning Tiantian.

Ning Tiantian coughed a little and cleared her throat, then she started to explain to them like an adult, “A betrothal is…”

Ding-ding!

Just when she spoke, her watch phone rang happily. Ning Tiantian looked down and saw that it was Inky. This was the first time that Inky had taken the initiative to call her. Her hands were shaking when she pressed the screen.

“Inky… Husband, what’s up?”

Looking at the little boys in front of her, Ning Tiantian simply changed “Inky” to “Husband”. She was telling them what betrothal was.

Li Yanmo said, after a few seconds of silence, “Miss Mi told me that the preschool bus ceased to work, so I will pick you up in the afternoon. I’ll come a little late because of school. You are not allowed to leave your school until I arrive.”

In fact, Miss Mi called Ning Tiantian’s mother, but her parents went on their honeymoon, so the task naturally fell on him.

“Okay, honey!” Ning Tiantian excitedly hung up by kissing him.

After hanging up the phone, Ning Tiantian raised her chin and looked at the boys around. “See, this is child betrothal. You can only ask your parents for help, but I have my husband!”

The children looked around at each other in a daze. They still could not understand what a baby betrothal was.
