After returning to Beijing, it was time for Rong Ting to go to kindergarten. In fact, with his aptitude, character, and learning progress, he could go directly to primary school. However, primary school started on September 1st, and only children above the age of six were accepted. Rong Ting was going to celebrate his sixth birthday this month, so he could only wait until September 1st before he could go to primary school. These few months, he was transitioning to kindergarten, so that he could adapt to collective life in advance.
Originally, Rong Ting thought that kindergarten was a place for children to play and play. However, after he was rejected in the elite kindergarten interview, he did not dare to look down on kindergarten. After all, the children in modern day kindergartens were all very smart, and their knowledge in all aspects was not necessarily less than his.
On the first day of kindergarten, Song Yuan was even more nervous than Rong Ting.
That day, she woke up very early and began to check if she had forgotten anything. The kindergarten gave out water cups and school bags. When Song Yuan saw Rong Ting wearing the kindergarten uniform, she could not help but take out her phone and take more than ten photos of him.
This kindergarten Yuanyuan uniform was very nice, similar to the style of a British school. Rong Ting awkwardly wore a white shirt, and Song Yuan awkwardly squatted down to tie his tie for him. The girls' uniform was a bow tie, which was very western-style. This made Song Yuan say enviously, "You don't know, but when I was in high school, my uniform was very ugly. I've never seen a uniform like this one in comics. It was just the most ordinary sportswear, and it was very big. Children nowadays are so lucky!"
However, Rong Ting felt that this uniform was very awkward, "I don't think it's very nice. It's very strange."
"You straight men have no sense of beauty. You really look very good in this uniform. It's just like … "Song Yuan paused, tilted her head and thought for a while," Just like a little prince. "
Rong Ting pursed his lips, "I've always been a prince."
"That was in ancient times. This is modern times. Let's go ~ George. "
"I'm not that pig!"
This year was the Year of the Pig, and it had become popular to call girls Rong Ting baby pigs and George baby pigs. When Song Yuan first joked that Rong Ting was George, Rong Ting did not know this joke. Until one day when they went shopping together, Rong Ting felt bored and sat in the shop to wait for her. The shop owner thought that he was very cute, so he put on a TV show for him. Unfortunately, the cartoon for children was Peppa... From that day onward, Rong Ting heard Song Song Yuan called him George, he would strongly object Peppa...
Rong Ting's kindergarten was not far from their house. If there were no traffic jams, they could get there in ten minutes.
Song Yuan sent Rong Ting to the kindergarten. The kind-looking teacher was already waiting at the entrance. The kindergarten had just started school, and there were many three or four year old babies crying at the entrance and in the kindergarten. There were also some who were shamelessly refusing to go to school and insisted on going back with their parents. It was very noisy. Rong Ting's face showed a hint of impatience. It was too noisy here. If he did not know that he had to go to class with these crying children, he would have turned around and left immediately.
"Then Rong Ting, I'm leaving."
Song Yuan thought that Rong Ting would be reluctant to leave. Last night, she was still thinking about how to comfort him if he threw a tantrum. She did not expect him to be so calm and collected. On the contrary, it was she who was reluctant to part with him.
Rong Ting grunted. "Be careful when you drive. Although I'm not at home, you still have to eat on time."
Song Yuan was slightly embarrassed. She felt that she did not have the dignity of a mother in front of Rong Ting. Every night, she had to worry about him finding out that she was playing with her phone. Now that he had gone to kindergarten, she could be free to do whatever she wanted. However, he still had to specially remind her to eat on time. She felt that he was the parent.
The kindergarten teacher was amused, but she was secretly relieved. She had also heard from the principal about Rong Ting's situation. He said that he had been receiving education at home all this time and had never lived with a group at the kindergarten. She originally thought that he would also make a fuss about going back. She did not expect this child to be so sensible.
Song Yuan looked back three times with every step she took. In the end, she stood outside the kindergarten for a long time …
Fortunately, the kindergarten teacher was very attentive. When she returned home in the afternoon, she received a WeChat video message from her.
In the video, Rong Ting sat obediently on the chair and listened to the class attentively like the other children in the class.
The teacher was still praising Rong Ting. "He's really very obedient and sensible. He doesn't make a fuss. He's also very obedient when eating and taking afternoon naps. Moreover, he's very smart."
Song Yuan watched the two videos over and over again ten or twenty times. In the beginning, she was very happy. However, for some reason, she felt an indescribable sense of loss as she watched.
In the video, his sitting posture was upright, and his attitude was meticulous.
However, he seemed to be unable to blend in with his classmates. There was always a sense of disharmony.
Could it be that he was more mature, so he could not talk to children his age?
When she brought Rong Ting home from school, she even asked him if he was happy in kindergarten. He said that it was okay.
***
It was going to be Rong Ting's sixth birthday soon. Song Yuan wanted to celebrate his birthday properly. She had not reported to the company yet. She planned to wait for Rong Ting to adapt to kindergarten life before going to work. Then, she would have some free time. She planned to personally bake a birthday cake for Rong Ting. Originally, when she moved here, she received an oven. Usually, she only used it to roast chicken wings. It was really a waste. Why not take advantage of this free time to learn how to bake?
Song Yuan also knew that kindergarten often held activities. She had also seen the little sisters in the mother's group post on their WeChat Moments that they would personally bake small desserts. She must make Rong Ting feel proud! She could not possibly cram at the last minute. That afternoon, just as she was about to go out, she met Yung Heng, who was delivering fresh fruit.
Yung Heng knew that she was going to buy baking materials, so he silently followed her.
Baking materials could basically be found in the supermarket. If she couldn't find them, she could buy them online.
Yung Heng followed beside Song Yuan and did not try to chat or make his presence known. When Song Yuan was choosing the kitchen scale, Yung Heng curiously walked to the other shelves to see what was placed there. Coincidentally, a young couple passed by, and the two of them were casually chatting about their daily lives.
"I saw on Weibo that there will be an Aquarius meteor shower next month. It is said that it will be very spectacular. I hope you don't have to work overtime then. Let's go camping and watch the meteor shower. I have never seen a meteor shower before."
"En, okay."
Yung Heng paused. The smile on his face disappeared. He put the bear biscuit mold back on the shelf and continued to return to Song Yuan's side as if nothing had happened.
Song Yuan bought a lot of baking materials. When she got home, she started to fiddle with them. She followed the online tutorials and started to sift the flour. She looked very serious and focused. Her long hair was casually tied up. The afternoon sun shone through the window and shone on her body. Her whole body seemed to be covered in a layer of faint golden light.
Yung Heng suddenly felt gratified. He had not seen her like this for a long, long time.
Thinking back carefully, ever since she married into the palace and became the Empress, she had never shown a sincere smile. She was always tense and did not relax for a moment.
Did he make a mistake back then? Maybe.
But if he could do it again, he might make the same decision. That was then and this is now. At that time, he was unwilling to lose her. Now, he had begun to accept that she was as clear-headed as him. He thought that she would not regret her decision.
"Can you help me get the lemon juice?" Song Yuan turned around and said to him, "The lemon juice is in the fridge. I read on the tutorials that you have to add lemon juice and white sugar to the egg white and beat it quickly."
"Okay."
Yung Heng brought the lemon juice and handed it to her. When she took it, he said in a low voice, "I have something to give you."
Song Yuan made an "oh" sound and looked at him. "What is it?"
Yung Heng took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to her.
Song Yuan did not dare to take it. This was a brand of diamond rings. She knew it. Such a small box could only contain a diamond ring. How could she accept his ring? And why did he give it to her?
Could it be that he was going to propose at this critical juncture?
Yung Heng saw her wary expression and chuckled. He opened the box in front of her. Sure enough, there was a diamond ring inside.
Song Yuan: "…"
"I don't know much about jewelry. I bought this diamond ring myself." Yung Heng was a little embarrassed. He had an uneasy expression on his face. This expression had not been seen since he ascended the throne. Before he sat on that chair, he was a gentle and refined youth. Occasionally, he would act like a peer in front of Song Yuan. He would be shy, angry, happy, and angry. After he ascended the throne, he wore a mask even when he faced her.
He always wanted all of her sincerity, but he was only willing to show half of it to her.
But was there such a thing in the world? Trying to use half of his sincerity to exchange for a whole sincerity?
Seeing him like this again, Song Yuan could not come back to her senses.
"This ring is not expensive. I heard from the salesperson that it costs less than 30 cents, including the diamonds beside it. Anyway, it's still a long way from one carat. However, the money used to buy this ring did not come from the Xie family, nor did it come from Xie Heng. I earned it myself. " Yung Heng lowered his voice. He was a little helpless and a little angry. "I spent a few days drawing a painting and asked Sun Qiming to sell it. I told him not to use the Xie family's name. He didn't dare to go against me. Of course, you saw the result. He only sold my painting for less than 10,000 yuan. I heard that this price is already very high. I don't know much about the market here, but I'm not famous here. This price should be reasonable. "
Actually, after he had a brief understanding of the market here, he felt that this price was probably the result of Sun Qiming's countless wrangling with others …
Fortunately, the money from selling the painting was enough for him to buy her a diamond ring. Although the diamond was a little small, at least he did it.
"The price of this ring is not more than 10,000 yuan." Yung Heng looked at her. "At first, I thought it would sell for a very good price and buy you a better diamond ring, but I didn't expect this result. Now that I think about it, if I were Ziheng, I would have to work harder to give you and Rong Ting a better life.
"I bought this ring myself. I earned it myself. If … "Yung Heng smiled bitterly." Forget it. There are no ifs. "
Song Yuan stared at the ring in his hand. Hearing what he said, she was stunned for a moment.
What was he going to do?
