Lu Kenian crouched down and adjusted the little girl's clothes.
Her daughter had not died.
The memory was pulled back to that painful night three years ago.
"Doctor, I beg you... save my child. They only want a son; my daughter won't have a good ending in their hands. Please, save her..."
After giving birth to the Dragon and Phoenix Twins, Lu Kenian used her last bit of strength to grasp the doctor's collar.
Perhaps after all the torment Lu Kenian had endured, heaven finally took pity on her once.
The doctor was her schoolmate, Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao felt compassion and falsely told the Cold Family that the daughter had died. Coincidentally, there was a newborn baby who had passed away in the hospital, abandoned by its parents. Lin Xiao executed a switch, allowing Lu Kenian to keep this daughter.
Lu Kenian smiled as she looked at her precious daughter. For three years, her daughter had been her last hope for survival.
Due to complications during birth, which resulted in premature delivery, her daughter's health had always been poor. She often fell ill; although she was already three years old, she was small for her age and looked like a two-year-old child. However, she had a clever tongue and could speak fluently.
"Xiao Nan, trains cannot breathe fire."
"Then why are they called trains?" Lu Xiaonan tilted her little head as she looked at Lu Kenian.
"Oh no, here we go again; the hundred thousand whys have begun..."
A headache struck Lu Kenian.
The train whistled as it approached, and Lu Kenian worried that Lu Xiaonan might get squeezed, so she held her close. Fortunately, it wasn't peak season, and there weren't many people on the train, allowing her to find a seat easily.
As soon as she sat down, she felt someone approaching.
Since it was inconvenient to manage with a child, Lu Kenian quickly said, "Sorry, let me settle the child first and then I'll free up the seat. Please wait a moment."
"It's fine."
That familiar voice—
Lu Kenian looked up abruptly and saw Lin Xiao's mature and composed face.
Lin Xiao, a classmate from high school who was always in the same grade as her. On the school's report card, she always held the top position, while Lin Xiao was the one forever overshadowed as the perennial second.
"Lin Xiao? What brings you here?"
"I've been sent to City Z for an exchange program for three months," Lin Xiao replied with an awkward smile.
"Uncle Lin!" Lu Xiaonan sweetly called out, opening her arms toward Lin Xiao, who immediately embraced her.
What else could Lu Kenian say?
Three years ago, she left City Z for M City, and Lin Xiao happened to be transferred to M City as well, staying there for three years.
Now, due to work reasons, she needs to go to the company headquarters in City Z for three months, and he just happens to be going to City Z for an exchange program for three months.
Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
Lu Kenian is not foolish; Lin Xiao is doing this all for himself.
Over the past three years, thanks to Lin Xiao's repeated "coincidental" care, Lu Kenian truly wonders how she would have managed to raise her daughter without him.
"Thank you, Lin Xiao."
"I'm just coincidentally with you; there's no need to thank me."
"Exactly! I like Uncle Lin the most! Uncle Lin, you have to tell me stories!" Lu Xiaonan affectionately lay in Lin Xiao's arms.
"Sure! What story do you want to hear? How about a story about a big bad wolf? Once upon a time, there was a big bad wolf..."
As Lin Xiao told the story, Lu Xiaonan's eyelids gradually grew heavy, and before long, she fell asleep.
" Lu Kenian, are you not afraid of running into... him in City Z?"
Lu Kenian's gaze dimmed slightly at once, and a bitter smile appeared at the corners of her lips.
"City Z is so big, what are the chances? Besides... I want to see my son."
Although she hated Cold Thunder, her son was still flesh and blood.
Children are innocent.
"You really don't need to worry so much. Chu Yun has no Fertility, your son is the only bargaining chip she left with the Cold Family. She will definitely do everything she can to take care of him," Lin Xiao comforted.
"Let's hope so." Lu Kenian sighed sadly, her gaze drifting to the scenery rushing by outside.
After more than eight hours on the road, they arrived at City Z. Lu Kenian was exhausted, but fortunately, Lin Xiao was there to support her.
Lin Xiao had already rented a house for Lu Kenian in City Z, settled everything, and even arranged for Lu Xiaonan to attend kindergarten. He himself stayed in a temporary apartment provided by the hospital.
Although they could only stay in City Z for three months, Lu Kenian still had work, and Lu Xiaonan definitely needed to go to kindergarten.
Back in this familiar city, ten years ago, Lu Kenian transferred from a rural school to a high school here and spent seven years of her life.
This city gave her hope, and it also gave her despair.
Now, she was back again.
Nanhua Bilingual Kindergarten
Lu Kenian held Lu Xiaonan's hand as they stood in the campus, with Lin Xiao standing behind them.
"Teacher, I’m counting on you. My daughter can be a bit mischievous and talkative, so I hope you can take good care of her," Lu Kenian said to the kindergarten teacher.
"It's no problem at all. We've seen all kinds of children here. There's one child who is quite the troublemaker; he really gives us a headache. Your daughter is much better behaved!"
The teacher gently patted Lu Xiaonan's chubby cheeks.
"Teacher, I'm very cute!" Lu Xiaonan exclaimed, pointing to her own face.
The adults all laughed.
"Well, I’ll be heading back now. I’ll come to pick her up on time this evening."
Lu Kenian squatted down to fasten Lu Xiaonan's buttons again.
"Xiao Nan, remember to listen to your teacher. The cookies your mom brought you yesterday should be shared with your friends. You need to learn to share, okay?"
"Mm! I know! Mom, when you come to pick me up tonight, don’t forget to bring me some fruit!"
"Alright, all you think about is food! Now hurry and go inside with your teacher."
"Goodbye, Mom! Goodbye, Uncle Lin!" Lu Xiaonan said as she took the teacher's hand and walked into the classroom.
Lu Kenian felt a wave of comfort; although her daughter was not in the best health and was small for her age, she was truly very independent.
“Lin Xiao, you really didn't need to arrange such a good kindergarten for her, did you? The price is just too…”
“You don’t have to worry. I have a friend who is a teacher here, so I can get a discounted rate. The company is very close to here, so you can come over in just a few steps after work. Otherwise, how could you pick up Xiao Nan on time? Besides, early education is the most important for young children. If she goes to an ordinary kindergarten for a few months, the teachers won’t teach her properly, and it would be a waste of time.”
“You really think of everything.”
“Alright, go to work. I need to report to the hospital as well.”
The two parted ways.
The teacher brought Lu Xiaonan into the classroom.
“Children, we have a new friend joining us today. Let’s welcome her!”
Lu Xiaonan tugged at her little dress and bowed first.
“Hello everyone, my name is Lu Xiaonan. You can call me Xiao Nan. I have a very amazing mom who can make lots of delicious food. Today she made cute animal cookies for everyone!”
“What’s so great about that?” A discordant voice came from the corner.
