Chapter 528: Warm Buddy (Part 3)

The current situation gave the kindergarten security guard quite a scare.

Luckily, he was young and reacted quickly, blocking the turnstile to prevent Candy from climbing over.

If the little fellow really ran away, not only would the turnstile need another upgrade, but his uniform would most likely be gone for good.

Watching a child climb over the turnstile and escape the kindergarten—what would they need a security guard for then? Just decoration?

"It’s not dismissal time yet, you can’t go out!"

Candy glanced at the security guard and stopped in her tracks.

"I’m not going out, just want to lean on the door and take a look."

The security guard let out a chuckle, but his blocking hand remained in place, eyes fixed intensely, fearing Candy might dash off.

Wang Haoran, who was shorter and had even shorter legs, ran over with a puzzled look at the security guard.

So high, and someone could flip over it?

If the security guard knew what Wang Haoran was thinking, he would definitely say, "Yes!"

Candy’s two previous escapes from the kindergarten were still vivid in his memory!

"Feiyan?"

"Feiyan."

At the kindergarten entrance, Candy shouted loudly.

This ironically put the security guard at ease.

If the bodyguard came, great, then if Candy ran out, it wouldn’t be his responsibility.

Responsibility? What responsibility?

He’s just working here, not sacrificing his life.

Not far away, Feiyan, who was propping up a sun umbrella, heard Candy’s call and immediately strode over.

Concern was evident in her eyes.

"What’s up? Candy."

"Feiyan, I’m glad you’re okay. That big storm just now made me worry a bit, so I came to check."

Wow! Feiyan felt warmed instantly.

Such a short sentence was filled with Candy’s concern for her.

Looking at this adorable little cutie in front of her, Feiyan smiled and said:

"I’m okay, dear~"

"Haha, I’m not silly, I know to run indoors when it rains."

Ring-ring-ring~

The bell for the last class rang, and Candy called Wang Haoran to run and didn’t forget to bid farewell to Feiyan.

"Feiyan, I’m off to class~"

"Go on, go on~"

Feiyan waved joyfully until she saw the little guy enter the classroom and then turned back.

This little one can be quite sentimental at times.

Or maybe, this child was just a natural-born leader.

"Hmm~ I must say, it feels nice to be cared for~"

"Really? Why doesn’t anyone care about me, achoo~~"

On the rooftop, Hawkeye, holding binoculars, sneezed involuntarily.

Under the sun umbrella, Feiyan gazed at the distant office rooftop.

Though far away, she could still clearly see a figure.

"Were you always on the rooftop? You wouldn’t be that silly, would you?"

On the public channel, Feiyan’s surprised question made the others chuckle.

"How’s that possible, it’s the rooftop, if I didn’t retreat, how could you be hearing me?"

"Otherwise, I’d be blown away by the wind directly."

"No kidding, mate."

Just then, Hawkeye chuckled.

"Don’t get too cheerful, I have some bad news for you."

Feiyan frowned, and soon heard the bad news from Hawkeye’s mouth.

"Candy’s excavator got flooded."

"It’s probably going to be scrapped."

After a moment of silence, Feiyan couldn’t help but let out a sigh, indeed, this was not good news.

And she didn’t know if Candy could still smile when she finds out after school.

"What did the boss say?"

"They’re pumping out water now."

At this point, Xiaofeixia chimed in on the channel: "This is partly my fault."

"I should have taken the excavator out back then."

——————————

The final class was brief, and not many kids were paying attention.

After teaching the kids a few characters, the teacher of the senior class led them in playing games inside the classroom.

The happy hours flew by, and before the teacher and other kids could react, Candy had already rushed out with her little backpack.

The teacher and the other kids, who were used to it, just glanced, stirring no ripples in their hearts, instead, they casually packed their belongings.

Not everyone is Candy, who could leave the moment school ended.

Parents haven’t arrived; even if they go out now, they’d just be waiting outside.

Since they’d be waiting either way, why rush?

Outside the kindergarten, Candy scratched her head as she looked around, finally looking at Feiyan with a puzzled expression.

"Feiyan, where’s my bike?"

"It couldn’t have been blown away by the wind, could it?" Candy was really nervous—if the bike was gone, it would be like losing half her life.

She couldn’t embarrassingly ask her brother to buy a new one, that would be too humiliating.

"The bike wasn’t lost, when the wind picked up, I took it to the office lobby."

"That’s good, you scared me, I thought it was gone."

Looking at Candy who was concerned for her forty minutes ago, Feiyan didn’t dare to reveal the truth.

"Let’s go, sister."

"Huh? Coming."

Snapping out of it, Feiyan followed.

Receiving a large red parade invitation from the boss, Xu Pengfei smiled brightly: "I like this color."

"You can bring three people along."

Casually putting away the invitation, Xu Pengfei smiled and said:

"Boss, what’s with the entrance?"

"Cool as a cucumber, what else?"

Mo Jingchun, who decided to play it cool, gave Xu Pengfei a faint hum and expressed his dissatisfaction.

"I think you’re just here for the show."

Xu Pengfei laughed heartily, "Am I?"

Staring at Xu Pengfei’s gloating eyes, Mo Jingchun nodded vigorously.

"Yes, very obvious, but I have no proof."

Sitting on the sofa, Zhou Yaling couldn’t laugh at all. When she heard the news, she knew trouble was coming.

Candy would surely cry once she finds out.

How to calm her then?

Zhou Yaling was already troubled.

Just then, Zero interrupted Mo Jingchun and Xu Pengfei’s chat.

"Boss, although you’re enjoying the chat, I have to remind you, Candy is already on the elevator."

"Ahem~" Mo Jingchun rubbed his forehead, loudly instructing everyone: "Remember what I said, no one bring it up."

"Anyway, Candy easily forgets about the excavator, as long as she doesn’t see it when leaving, all will be fine."

Before long, Candy bounced in with her little backpack.

"The sun is shining, the flowers are smiling at me, little year says, early early early, I’m going home~"

"Brother, I’m back."

At his desk, Mo Jingchun nodded without a change in expression and responded:

"Welcome back."

Across from him, Xu Pengfei silently gave a thumbs up.

Acting so convincingly, he might as well be an actor.

Mo Jingchun glared at Old Xu, then immediately changed his expression to a smiling face, saying to his sister:

"You’re back, so let’s go home."
