There's Anger

Outside every classroom in Rainbow Bilingual Kindergarten, there was a small cabinet designated for the children according to their seat numbers. The small cabinet was meant for the children to store their books, clothes, shoes, cups, and other personal belongings.

Every day after school, the children had to pack up the things in the small cabinet and bring them home.

As Youguang was sitting next to Shi Wangyue, their cabinets were just next to each other.

While packing her belongings, Youguang noticed that Big Boss was very quick to pack his school bag and other belongings. When he was done, he walked to Shi Tongyang's side and stood still, but Shi Tongyang reached out and pushed him.

Big Boss staggered and quickly held onto the cabinet to prevent himself from falling.

After steadying himself, he stood beside Shi Tongyang and watched in silence as he shoved things haphazardly into his bag. When he was done, Big Boss reached out again.

This time, Shi Tongyang hit him hard and shouted, "Go away. I don't want you to carry my bag for me."

With that, he picked up his bag and ran towards the field. Big Boss could only clatter after him.

Many children and teachers around them noticed the interaction between the two cousins, but they only took a brief look before continuing with their work. They didn't even lift an eyebrow.

Youguang couldn't help but frown slightly.

Delighted that school had ended, the children ran out from the campus grounds. Youguang, with her backpack, followed behind them unhurriedly. But her gaze was glued subconsciously to Big Boss who was walking away quickly.

She couldn't help but feel slightly sad and sorry for him.

"No matter how influential Big Boss will be in the future, he's still a pitiful little boy who was isolated by his classmates and bullied by his cousin."

Soon, she saw Xie Haitang coming in from the school gate.

At the same time, a young and skinny woman in front of Xie Haitang walked towards the pair of boys from the Shi family. She was dressed elegantly and was pale and fair. Her face was beautiful but she had a look of gloominess about her.

She immediately took Shi Tongyang's bag from him and said to Big Boss, "Wangyue, why didn't you carry your brother's bag today?"

"I don't want him touching my things." Shi Tongyang said.

"What's wrong, Yang Yang? Did Wangyue make you angry?" The woman leaned down to talk to Shi Tongyang, her face filled with anxiety.

"Ask him yourself." Shi Tongyang glared at Shi Wangyue and ran towards the gates.

The minute Shi Tongyang started to run, the woman who was about to take Big Boss's bag, turned and left too.

Big boss, who had been left behind, looked at them quietly and ran after them.

Ning Youguang, who had not been emotional for many years, was furious.

Xie Haitang walked over to her little niece and followed her gaze.

"Is that your classmate?"

"My deskmate."

"Wow, that little boy is You You's deskmate. How are you guys getting along today?"

"Pretty good."

As she was feeling angry, Youguang's voice was not as soft as usual. Her baby voice sounded a little deep.

The meticulous Xie Haitang immediately noticed the change.

"Isn't that nice? Why do you seem upset though?"

'I'm not upset because of what happened at school.'

'So what is it, can you tell me about it?'

"I'm not happy that some parents blame little children without asking why."

"One of your classmates was reprimanded by a parent for no reason?" Xie Haitang raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah."

"That classmate is indeed quite pitiful," Xie Haitang said gently. "But that's the way of communication in some families."

She had no right to interfere.

Youguang naturally understood what First Aunt meant.

"I know."

However, when she thought of how sick Big Boss looked when he came to the office in her previous life, and looking at how he was as a young kid, she found it difficult to ignore him.

Freud says, "Rely on your true self."

Understanding a person's childhood gives you the keys to understanding that person.

She had seen the Big Boss when it was two to three decades later, and she had also seen the young Shi Wangyue when he was three to four years old.

Youguang finally understood why this person would later end up in such a sickly state.

He had been sick for a long time, since he was a child.

… .

On Wednesday afternoon, the sixth week of school, It was craft period for Class One.

Teacher Wang stood in front of the classroom and explained to the students,

"For the folded star, you'll need five same-sized square pieces of colored paper. Fold and make the diagonal corners meet, then fold another time again for the opposite corners to meet. Follow the crease lines and fold it into a triangle. Fold the two ends towards the middle crease. Then flip it over and do the same. Okay, the remaining four square pieces of paper will be folded the same way. We'll join two pieces of folded paper. The last part of the star will be the same. The two sides will be joined together. Can you see how it is done, everyone?"

The students stared with their eyes wide-opened. Some said they saw it clearly, while others said they didn't.

Teacher Wang was patient and gave the students another demonstration.

"Can everyone understand this time?"

"No I can't."

"Yes I can…"

"Some students say they know how to do it, some say they don't. Those who don't know how, can you tell me which part you didn't understand?"

"I don't know." Some of the students giggled.

"It's a little difficult to fold the stars, but I believe that you are all really smart. As long as you continue to be patient and try a few more times, you will definitely be able to fold them, right?"

"Right."

"Alright, then we shall start folding the stars. You can also check with your classmates. Those who fold well will receive a gift from your teacher today."

The students were even happier when they heard that there was a gift.

The assistant teacher distributed the materials to the students—placing the paper in front of them.

The students who got the materials first quickly got to work. The students seated behind were the last to get their paper.

Youguang had a good memory and the reasoning of an adult. She was able to memorize all the steps. When she got the materials from the assistant teacher, she started folding the stars with full concentration.

After she finished folding a star, she inadvertently looked up and realized that Big Boss was stealing glances at her… or rather the star in her hand.

He was still a child after all. Youguang couldn't help but sigh.

Shi Wangyue was a little nervous when his deskmate saw him looking at her, but he couldn't help looking at the star in her hand.

It was too pretty.

"Do you want this star?" Youguang asked softly.

The kid said nothing, but there was a glint in his eye.

"Give me your hand."

The child slowly extended his little fist to his deskmate and gradually opened his palm towards her.

Youguang was in no hurry either. When the child had completely opened his palm, she gently placed the folded five-colored star in his palm.

"May Little Wangyue make a glowing star with ridges and corners."

She said it quietly, not caring if the child understood. It was just a little wish.

But she hadn't expected to hear the first words that he would say to her in this life. He said to her when she was almost done with the second star.

"Does it glow like a star?"

The child's voice was soft, and he was surprisingly articulate.

When Youguang heard this, she couldn't help but give him a big smile. She was also a little touched.

It was more than a month before the silent child finally spoke to her. It seemed like the boughs of the cypress pine—hanging in the darkness of the night—were bashfully prying at the glimmer of light beyond the walls.
