Chapter 45: Middle Class (1)

Huo Suicheng left the party a little before nine o’clock, even though it barely started around 8 in the evening..

With a glass of wine in his hand, Lu Boyang had already made himself drunk and had his arm around a woman in a long white dress, he chuckled: “President Huo, I guess you should go to a temple and become a monk one of these days.”

Huo Suicheng did not say anything he just waved his hand and left the scene.

“Sir, are we going back to the Huo Mansion?”

Although Huo Suicheng only drank a little wine, his body was hot and he felt a little dizzy.

Lowering the car window, he pulled the tie knot around his neck and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, letting the cold breeze whistle in which made him a lot better.

“Drive slowly.”

“Yes, sir.”

Huo Suicheng lazily leaned back, looking at the street lights passing by he recalled his encounter with Ji Wenxin in front of the classroom when he went to pick up Xiaoxiao from school today.

Whether it was intentional or not, now that Ji Wenxin had found out that Xiaoxiao was studying in that kindergarten, the two would inevitably continue to meet in the future.

People have their own selfishness, especially Huo Suicheng. As a father, he did not want Ji Wenxin and Huo Xiaoxiao to keep meeting each other, even limiting their meetings was enough.

""

She had left her own daughter behind, but now she wanted to perform the mother-daughter act with someone else’s child in front of her very own daughter every day.

While it’s true that children will grow up one day, but when they will recall these things, who knows how painful it would be for them.

Huo Suicheng took out his cell phone and made a phone call.

“Hello Principal Zhou, this is Huo Xiaoxiao’s father, Huo Suicheng, there is a small matter I want to discuss with you.”

As the car was driving slowly, the usual half-hour journey took more than an hour drive.

When the car stopped in front of the Huo Mansion, Huo Suicheng had almost sobered up.

He took off the suit jacket which had been stained with wine in the living room and put it on the sofa. He went upstairs, pushed open the door, and saw Huo Xiaoxiao asleep on the bed.

Huo Suicheng was relieved.

Fortunately she was asleep.

He turned and went to the bathroom, took a long comfortable shower. When he finally stepped out of the bathroom, Huo Xiaoxiao was sitting on the bed looking at him.

“…… did I wake you up?”

Huo Xiaoxiao shook her head, “I was waiting for daddy.”

“Waiting for me to do what?”

“Daddy promised to tell me about Mom.”

Huo Suicheng calmly approached the bedside, ” You didn’t ask grandpa?” he questioned.

“No, Daddy promised that he would tell me personally, so I didn’t ask Grandpa, I’m all ears!”

A small child, Huo Suicheng found this situation to be much harder to deal with than those opportunistic at the reception.

He pondered for a moment before saying, “Look at the time. It’s almost 10:30, you have to go to kindergarten tomorrow, are you sure you want to hear about mommy from daddy now? It’s too late for bed.”

‘But…”

“Huo Xiaoxiao!”

Knowing that her father was trying to avoid talking about this topic, plus Huo Xiaoxiao didn’t really want to pester her dad about Ji Wenxin, as a child who should be curious about her mother, this should be enough, save the remaining for another time. She thought very wickedly.

“Okay, good night Daddy.”

“Good night.”
——

The next day, Huo Suicheng sent Huo Xiaoxiao to kindergarten as usual, but on the way to kindergarten, he asked a sideways question: “Xiaoxiao, yesterday Daddy received a phone call from the principal, she said you are too good, smart and very obedient, so she wants to transfer you to the middle class, would you like to go?”

“Middle class?”

“Yes, Yi Qian is also in that class.”

Huo Xiaoxiao looked at her dad and instantly figured out the twists and turns of this matter.

The principal said she was a good girl, smart and cute. Probably her father transferred her to the middle class in order to keep her out of contact with Ji Wenxin, right?

In fact, it was not impossible, the teacher in the small class took care of her too much as a child, which was something she was not used to. Plus, there was nothing interesting to do.

“Okay.”

Huo Suicheng frowned slightly and was not as happy as he thought he would be.

“Would you like to move to the middle class?”

“Well, yes!”

“Alright, Daddy will take you to Principal Zhou later and talk with her about transferring you to the middle class. If the children bully you, tell me. OK?”

“I’m not afraid. Yi Qian will protect me.”

Huo Suicheng raised eyebrows, “really?”

“Yes! So don’t worry, Dad. ”

Last night, after Principal Zhou received the call that Huo Suicheng wanted to transfer Huo Xiaoxiao to another class, he first dialed the phone number of several teachers in Huo Xiaoxiao’s class. Apart from teacher Xu Manyin, who said that Huo Xiaoxiao had only been in school for a short period of time and should not change classes so soon, several other teachers thought that with Huo Xiaoxiao’s current life and thinking ability, she could be transferred to the middle class to study.

Therefore, after arriving at the school, Huo Xiaoxiao’s class transfer procedure was quickly completed, which did not delay Huo Suicheng for too long.

“Xiao, this is Teacher Shenghuo in the middle class. her surname is Tang. From now on, Miss Tang will take care of you.”

“Hello , Teacher Tang.”

Teacher Tang had been working in Wellington School for many years, this was the first time she met a child as young as Huo Xiaoxiao who had enrolled in middle class. At first sight, she was impressed by her good manners, she did not have stage fright, and was quite sensible and intelligent.

“Hello Xiaoxiao, I am Teacher Tang, from now on Teacher Tang will take care of you, you can talk to Teacher Tang about anything in the class.”

“Thank you, Teacher Tang.”

“Good girl, so Xiaoxiao said goodbye to Dad and we will go to the classroom.”

Huo Xiaoxiao turned and waved to Huo Suicheng, “Bye-Bye, Daddy.”

After saying that, she left the principal’s office and followed the teacher.

The middle class was different from the small class.

The clearest distinction lied in the fact that the children in the middle class had to be disciplined. They had to learn to line up, and start learning simple numbers and writing.

This was all based on all the information she received from Huo Xiaoxiao’s teachers in the small class, Teacher Zhao agreed that Huo Xiao Xiao was smart and well-mannered and that she was more than adequate to keep up with the pace of the middle class.

Even if she couldn’t keep up, it didn’t matter, in fact they could still take the kindergarten test.

“Huo Xiaoxiao!”

When teacher Zhao led Huo Xiaoxao to the middle class, Lu Jingyi was the first to spot Huo Xiaoxiao and poked Yi Qian. “Yi Qian, look, Huo Xiaoxioa came to our class.”

Huo Xiaoxiao?”

“Yeah! it’s really her!”

Several children put down their toys and ran to Huo Xiaoxiao’s side first.

“Xiaoxiao, why did you come to our class?”

“Yes,you are still carrying your schoolbag. Are you going to transfer to our class?”

Teacher Zhao said with a smile: “Yes, from today on, Xiaoxiao is your classmate.You are not allowed to bully her.”

A few people were pleasantly surprised including Yi Qian, “Really!”

‘Xiaoxiao , we are classmates now!”

“Teacher Zhao, you rest assured, we will not bully Xiaoxiao, we will also not let others bully her!

“Yes, we are men, we will protect her!”

“Then will you help the teacher find a seat for Xiaoxiao?”

“Okay!”

Yi Qian took Huo Xiaoxiao’s school bag, walked to the small table next to his own, took out Lu Jingyi’s things from the small table, and put Huo Xiaoxiao’s school bag in.

“Xiaoxiao, sit here! Lu Jingyi, take your things away. ”

Lu Jingyi: “……”

________________

While some people were happy, others were not.

In the small class classroom, Zhouzhou entered the classroom with a small schoolbag in his arms, once he entered the classroom, he put his small schoolbag secretly in the locker and locked it up, then stood guard in front of the locker.

His little bag had the chocolate that his mother had given him this morning, it was the chocolate Huo Xioaxiao liked after eating it. He brought many more to him today. Even if every child in the class asked one, Huo would still have a lot to eat.

“Zhouzhou, what are you standing here for?”

“Nothing I’ll stand where I want. Have you seen Huo Xiaoxiao?”

“No.”

“Why hasn’t she come yet.”

‘She must be late!

Zhouzhou looked out of the classroom, thats when the teacher entered.

“Children, come and listen, I have something to say.”

The children in the classroom turned their attention to the teacher.

“Has everyone noticed if any of your classmates have not come yet?”

The children in the classroom looked at each other, trying to figure out who else hadn’t arrived yet.

“Huo Xiaoxiao didn’t come!”

No one knows who shouted this.

“Yes! Huo Xiaoxiao did not come, because from today, Huo Xiaoxiao will not be studying in our class, she has transferred to the middle class, everyone …… ”

“Teacher!” Without waiting for Teacher Chen to finish, Zhouzhou couldn’t wait to raise his hand, “Huo Xiaoxiao …”… Why did Huo Xiaoxiao go to the middle class? ”

“Unfortunately, The teacher doesn’t know, but no matter where Huo Xiaoxiao is, she is still everyone’s classmate. If you miss her, you can go to the middle class to see her.”

Zhouzhou’s little face wrinkled like a steamed stuffed bun.

Without saying a word, he took out the schoolbag he had hidden in the cupboard and went out angrily.

“Zhouzhou, where are you going with your schoolbag?”

“I… I’m going to find Huo Xiaoxiao.”

“Why are you looking for her?”

“I have something for her.”

Teacher Chen also knew that Zhouzhou and Huo Xiaoxaio was the most playful, the two children may have some secret between them.

“I’ll take you there.”

“Thank you, teacher.”

Zhouzhou held her school bag and followed Teacher Chen towards the middle class.

He was upset because Huo Xiaoxiao suddenly switched to the middle class and without even talking to him yesterday, and most importantly, he hadn’t given her the chocolates he had prepared for her.

Teacher Chen led Zhouzhou to the middle class. “Teacher Zhao, I’m sorry to interrupt, but could you come out for a moment?”

Teacher Zhao, who was teaching the children to write simple numbers, went to the door of the classroom and said, “what’s wrong, Teacher Chen?”

Teacher Chen said: “This is the case, Huo Xiaoxiao,who transferred to your class today is from my small class, Zhouzhou and her used to be classmates, he said he has to give something to her, can you call her out?”

“Sure,” Teacher Zhao turned around, “Xiaoxiao, come out for a moment.”

Huo Xiao Xiao got up and went to the corridor, in the classroom Yi Qian, Lu Jingyi and a few people stood up and tiptoed to look out.

“Xiaoxiao, Zhouzhou has come to see you for something.”

“Zhouzhou what do you want me to do?”

Originally Zhouzhou was angry, but seeing Huo Xiaoxiao, his anger suddenly disappeared.

“Why did you transfer to the middle class, you didn’t tell me about this yesterday.”

“Because my dad told me to transfer to the middle class on the way here today I didn’t know yesterday.”

“Did he?”

“Yeah.”

Zhouzhou took out the chocolates in his school bag, “These …… these are the ones I brought for you, you liked them, so I brought you a lot of them.”

There were a total of four cans, both large and small, all placed in the hands of Huo Xiaoxiao.

Teacher Zhao and Teacher Chen looked at each other and both tacitly smiled.

“Thank you for the chocolates.”

Zhouzhou bowed his head and suddenly shrugged his small shoulders. He didn’t want to cry, but the tears fell down disgracefully.

He was sad because he didn’t want Huo Xiaoxiao to go. He wanted Huo Xiaoxiao to continue to keep playing with him in the small class.

Raising his hand and wiping away his tears, Zhouzhou choked up and said, “Huo Xiaoxiao, I like you so much. I will bring you chocolates every day. I will give you all the chocolates at home. Please don’t go.”

Huo Xiaoxiao hugged him with one hand, “Don’t cry, I’ll come to the small class to see you when I have time.”
