Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Lu Chen’s Little Tagalong

Sparks flew with every pedal stroke on the bike, almost smoking, finally making it to the school gate just in time before the dismissal bell rang.

Lu Chen stood at the gate, blinking his little eyes, looking at the parents picking up their kids, searching for Fu Xiaoxiao’s presence.

Fu Xiaoxiao spotted Lu Chen first and waved at him. "Xiao Chen!"

"Mom!" Lu Chen waved excitedly and pointed at Fu Xiaoxiao, speaking to Teacher Fang. "Teacher Fang, my mom is here!"

Fang Xiaohui led Lu Chen to Fu Xiaoxiao. "Mrs. Lu, Lu Chen performed exceptionally well at school today, he adjusted to kindergarten on his very first day."

"Thank you, Teacher Fang, sorry for the trouble." Fu Xiaoxiao patted Lu Chen’s head.

"Hehe." Lu Chen, having received praise, puffed his little chest out proudly.

Just as Fu Xiaoxiao was about to leave holding Lu Chen’s hand, a little girl in a pretty dress with two cute little pigtails ran up to Lu Chen, grabbing his clothes.

"Lu Chen, I want you to play with me."

"I’ll play with you at school tomorrow. I need to go home now." Lu Chen patted the little girl’s head, smiling lightly.

Fu Xiaoxiao watched the little girl blink her pretty big eyes. She looked just like a little princess—adorably cute.

"No! I want you to play with me!" The little girl clung to Lu Chen’s clothes, unwilling to let go.

"Little Linlin, you can’t be so willful." Lu Chen frowned, seeing the new clothes Fu Xiaoxiao made for him get all wrinkled.

"Wahhh! I don’t want to!" The little girl began crying sadly when Lu Chen scolded her.

Fu Xiaoxiao, witnessing the scene, didn’t know what to do, surprised at how stern Xiao Chen had been...

"Wu Linlin! What are you doing?" A disgruntled female voice came.

"Mom, I want Brother Xiao Chen to play with me!" Wu Linlin cried out tearfully upon seeing her mom, pointing at Lu Chen, pleading for him to play with her.

"Sorry! My daughter is spoiled by me, she’s not usually like this." Wu Linlin’s mom looked apologetically at Fu Xiaoxiao. "I am Wu Linlin’s mother, Wu Yingying."

Fu Xiaoxiao was taken aback, the daughter taking the mother’s last name?

"Hello, I am Lu Chen’s mother, Fu Xiaoxiao." Fu Xiaoxiao shook hands with Wu Yingying, smiling.

Seeing Fu Xiaoxiao didn’t question further, Wu Yingying’s smile deepened.

"Kids making their first friends, reluctant to part, why not come by my place and let them play a bit longer?" Wu Yingying suggested with a smile.

Fu Xiaoxiao shook her head.

"Is there something you’re concerned about? My place isn’t far." Wu Yingying was surprised, not expecting Fu Xiaoxiao to refuse.

"It’s just that my older son Lu Lin is about to be dismissed from school too..." Fu Xiaoxiao pointed to the elementary school, indicating that the dismissal was imminent; she was worried Lu Lin wouldn’t find her if she left.

"Got it! Then let’s wait for him together! Besides, Linlin also wants to play with Xiao Chen a bit longer." Wu Yingying was relieved, having thought...

"Xiao Chen, come to my house and play? I’ll show you my dolls, my mom bought me lots of dolls, they are so pretty." Wu Linlin held Lu Chen’s hand and invited him.

"Once my brother comes out, if he agrees, then I’ll go." Lu Chen glanced at Wu Linlin, neither agreeing nor refusing.

"Then what do you like to eat? We have lots of small cakes, some snacks, or cookies..." Wu Linlin enumerated them, fearing Lu Chen would find it insufficient.

Fu Xiaoxiao listened to Wu Linlin’s words and raised an eyebrow.

"Sorry! This girl making her first friend, wants to give away all her things." Wu Yingying noticed Fu Xiaoxiao’s curiosity and explained.

"Why wouldn’t she make friends?" Fu Xiaoxiao puzzled. "Such an adorable little cutie, who wouldn’t like her?"

Fu Xiaoxiao praised Wu Linlin’s cuteness, making Linlin blush with excitement, hugging Fu Xiaoxiao’s leg. "Auntie really thinks Linlin is cute?"

"Yeah! Super cute." Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled, wondering how such a young child could lack confidence.

"Mom, look, Auntie says I’m cute!" Wu Linlin hugged her mom’s leg happily, suddenly losing interest in Lu Chen.

"Yes, I heard too, she said you were very cute." Wu Yingying smiled, grateful as she glanced at Fu Xiaoxiao.

Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Chen, who nodded, causing Fu Xiaoxiao to raise an eyebrow.

The unspoken communication between mother and child was visible to Wu Yingying.

"Ring ring!" The school dismissal bell for elementary school went off, Fu Xiaoxiao stood with Lu Chen at the gate, accompanied by Wu Yingying and Wu Linlin.

Kids scrambled to rush out, and Fu Xiaoxiao looked around, not spotting Lu Lin.

"Bro!" Lu Chen was the first to spot Lu Lin surrounded by classmates, bouncing and waving.

"Mom, Xiao Chen." Lu Lin waved goodbye to his classmates and walked towards Fu Xiaoxiao and Lu Chen.

"Made friends on the first day already?" Fu Xiaoxiao noticed the classmates who had just bid farewell to Lu Lin.

"Mm." Lu Lin’s mouth curled into a joyful smile, so rarely showing emotion openly.

Looks like he’s truly happy.

"Is this your older son?" Wu Yingying looked at Lu Lin, who seemed very composed.

"Lu Lin, this is Wu Linlin’s mom, Wu Yingying. You can call her Aunt Wu!" Fu Xiaoxiao introduced with a smile. "Wu Linlin is your younger brother’s classmate."

"Hello, Aunt Wu, Little Lin." Lu Lin nodded towards them.

"Auntie, will you come visit my house?" Wu Linlin clung to Fu Xiaoxiao’s leg, big eyes pleading.

"Come over for a while! My house is very close." Wu Yingying invited.

Seeing them both so inviting, Fu Xiaoxiao nodded, taking Lu Lin and Lu Chen along, following Wu Yingying to her place for a visit.

"Hooray!" Wu Linlin was overjoyed, holding Fu Xiaoxiao with one hand and Lu Chen with the other, bouncing as she walked.

Wu Yingying wasn’t wrong; her house was indeed nearby, less than two hundred meters away.

Looking at the courtyard several times larger than her home, Fu Xiaoxiao blinked.

"Come in, make yourself comfortable." Wu Yingying led them into the home, smiling.

Fu Xiaoxiao took a seat with Lu Lin and Lu Chen, while Linlin grabbed Lu Chen, eager to show him her dolls in her room.

"Brother Xiao Chen, Brother Xiao Lin, follow me! I’ll show you my dolls." Linlin led them towards her room.

"It’s okay, you can go." Wu Yingying smiled.

Lu Chen and Lu Lin glanced at Fu Xiaoxiao.

"Go ahead!" Fu Xiaoxiao nodded, and only then did they follow Linlin.

After the two children left, Wu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you so much, for coming to my house."

"This is interesting, I’ve never heard of someone thanking a guest for visiting." Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled, it was the first time she received such gratitude.

"You don’t know, everyone is unwilling to associate with me, Linlin frequently asks why no one wants to visit, and I never know how to answer..." Wu Yingying sighed helplessly.
