Gu Mengmeng and Liang Beibei were sent to the hospital, leaving Fang Jiujiu standing there as the only unlucky one.
Gu Mengmeng made him cry, but heās not the type to cry, Fang Jiujiu, the child expressed, crying isnāt his style.
Of course, even if Jiujiu cried, he would still be the only unlucky one in this situation. Compared to Gu Mengmeng and Liang Beibei, itās better for Fang Jiujiu to take the blame.
The other children being picked up by their parents were gathered in the classroom. Jiujiu was dragged by the teacher to the stage for punishment.
"All the children, listen up, fighting is not allowed in our kindergarten! Anyone who fights in the future will be punished like Fang Jiujiu, standing here, watched by all the children. Do you think this is a good thing?"
"No~" The children below answered in unison, some even started giggling.
"No laughing! Often, children come to the teacher and say, āTeacher, so-and-so is fighting again! Can children fight? We should love each other and be good friends. Now Gu Mengmeng and Liang Beibei have been sent to the hospital. Their parents might come here soon to find the child who hurt them, thatās you, Fang Jiujiu."
Jiujiu stood there silently.
"Fang Jiujiu, stretch out your hand, you must be punished for doing wrong."
Jiujiu looked up at the teacher calmly, "Teacher, I didnāt do it on purpose, I didnāt know there was a thumbtack there. I can apologize to Liang Beibei."
"Apologies will be discussed later, now reach out your hand!"
Jiujiu brought out the hand hidden behind his back. The teacher said he would be hit ten times, but even though he furrowed his eyebrows tightly, he didnāt utter a word. Instead, he looked at the teacher and smiled slightly, "Teacher, donāt regret it."
Somehow, the childās laughter made people feel uneasy, so after five smacks, the teacher let it go and allowed him to continue his punishment, standing there until his parent arrived.
"Everyone should not learn from Fang Jiujiu, you cannot fight in the future. Children who make mistakes will be punished by having their palms stroked, understood?"
"We understand~"
"Fang Jiujiu, if you apologize to the teacher now, the teacher can forgive you and let you go."
"Teacher, I can apologize to Liang Beibei, because she got hurt. But I didnāt do anything wrong, so I wonāt apologize."
"Alright! Then continue standing!"
Jiujiu stood on the stage, being laughed at by the other children below the stage.
"Originally the teacher decided to cancel classes tomorrow and take you all on a field trip, but since Gu Mengmeng and Liang Beibei were injured, tomorrowās field trip is cancelled, and we will continue with the classes."
"Ah.. Itās because of Fang Jiujiu... we canāt go on the field trip now."
"How annoying..."
"Why blame Jiujiu, it was clearly Beibei who hit Mengmeng first!"
...
Eleven waited for a while longer but didnāt see Jiujiu, so she went upstairs. One of the kindergarten attendants recognized her and said, "You must be Jiujiuās mother?"
"I am! Has anyone seen my son Jiujiu? Heās not answering his phone, no idea where heās gone."
Thinking that he had already gone home, she phoned the home landline. Feiāer had already returned home and answered, saying Jiujiu hadnāt come home yet.
Jiujiu, a child with such high intelligence, wouldnāt get lost. So he must still be at the kindergarten.
"Your Jiujiu could normally not be a better-behaved kid, but today got into a fight and injured a classmate. He was sent to the teacherās office, you should go there quickly and check."
"What?"
Without asking more, Eleven hurried toward the office.
Jiujiu sent another child to the hospital?
How could that be...
