Chapter 85: Chunhuahua Kindergarten (V)
From Qiao Yuan's words, Wang Xiaoyang also realized that there seemed to be some connection between that gaze and the appearance of the cockroach. Maybe she was being targeted as He Ze said, but she didn't dare to confirm it with Qiao Yuan, as if as long as she didn't confirm it, she could still have the fluke that she was not being targeted and not completely collapse.
Qiao Yuan saw through this, but had no intention of exposing it.
Because of what happened, the children who were noisy before are now much quieter and sitting obediently in their original seats.
The time sitting on the chair was very uncomfortable for Wang Xiaoyang, and Qiao Yuan was also nervous. After all, no one knew who would be the next.
However, until they left their seats, that gaze never appeared again, which made Qiao Yuan think that it might really be related to the movement just now.
I don’t know if it was because he thought it was too difficult for children to sit on chairs for a long time, or because of the appearance of cockroaches, but after the principal announced the start of the graduation ceremony and thanked the teachers for their hard work and the parents for their support of the kindergarten, he gave each child a certificate and badge representing graduation.
Then the teachers took everyone on a final tour of the kindergarten.
Qiao Yuan's class was at the back, and as she was walking out, she saw the names of the two empty seats.
The boy's name is Hu Mingxuan and the girl's name is Zhang Ying.
Wang Xiaoyang wanted to stick to Qiao Yuan like before, but her parents didn't think so. As her biological parents, they were still here, but Wang Xiaoyang kept following others. Who knew what others would think of her family, which really made them lose face. So they took the opportunity to pull Wang Xiaoyang back when she was not prepared.
Wang Xiaofan wanted to try the same trick again, but her mother said impatiently in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "If you don't behave, go home directly."
Although she knew that her mother's original intention was to punish her by sending her home like she had done in the past, Wang Xiaoyang was most afraid of going home, as it meant leaving kindergarten.
Her understanding of her mother also made her realize that when she said this, she was ready to do it. Her experiences from childhood to adulthood have also told her that it would be useless even if she asked others for help. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, her parents did not beat or scold her, and other people did not want to interfere in her family education.
She has to stay in the kindergarten now and can only listen to the other party for the time being.
Thinking this way, Wang Xiaoyang finally held her mother's hand, and her parents showed a satisfied look. Fortunately, Qiao Yuan was walking in front of her, so she could see him as long as she raised her head, and she felt a little safer in her heart.
Qiao Yuan's attention was focused on the teaching building which was getting closer and closer.
For some busy parents, the last time they visited a kindergarten was probably when their children first entered the kindergarten, so for them, it felt almost the same as the first time they entered the kindergarten. Some children also rarely spend such a long time with their parents. Even the originally introverted children were a little excited at this time. Although there was a teacher holding a small loudspeaker to explain in front, it still couldn't stop them from dancing and jumping with excitement, eager to introduce it to their parents in person.
And now they are walking towards the teaching building under the guidance of the teacher.
Wang Xiaoyang only remembered that he felt that gaze but could not feel where it came from. However, Qiao Yuan remembered that the malicious gaze seemed to come from the teaching building.
She was lost in thought when suddenly a gust of wind blew and the sky above her head suddenly became empty.
When Qiao Yuan came to her senses, she found that the fisherman's hat she was wearing was blown away, and her black hair was also blown up by the wind. She casually lifted her hair, which instantly attracted a lot of attention.
"Your children are so cute. No wonder our children can't forget them after returning home." A parent at the side said with a smile, and her child shyly hid behind her legs after hearing her words.
Qiao Buyan had already run to pick up the hat for Qiao Yuan, so only Sang Miao was left standing there with Qiao Yuan, greeting the parents.
Qiao Yuan was waiting for them to finish the topic.
At this moment, Qiao Yuan suddenly felt a familiar gaze falling on her. Although many people looked at her because of the hat she dropped, most of them looked at her with curiosity and amazement, only this gaze was full of malice.
It was the look he gave Wang Xiaoyang at that time.
When she realized this, she wanted to follow the gaze, but suddenly she realized something.
She looked down and saw more than a dozen cockroaches crawling onto her shoes, but Qiao Yuan reacted first and stepped on them all to death quickly and ruthlessly, and then immediately looked in the direction where the sight came from.
But this time she was obviously a step too late. When she looked up, the sight had disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, the adults who were talking also noticed Qiao Yuan's stomping behavior. They turned around and found a cockroach at her feet.
Wang Xiaoyang also caught up with Qiao Yuan's footsteps. When she saw the cockroach at the other's feet, she knew that Qiao Yuan had encountered the same thing as her.
This made Wang Xiaoyang feel nauseous at the sight of the cockroach, but at the same time, he felt inexplicably relieved in his heart.
Good thing she's not the only one experiencing this.
There was another round of chaos. After Qiao Yuan's explanation, Sang Miao, Qiao Buyan and Sang Miao who had picked up the hat gave up the idea of taking her to the hospital. They only told the matter to Teacher Li Zi and another teacher called Teacher Lin, who was the middle-aged woman on the stage at the beginning. She was the childcare teacher of the Hualei class where Qiao Yuan was.
The two teachers were obviously equally confused. They could only apologize to them repeatedly while wondering what exactly attracted the cockroaches.
Qiao Yuan was now more certain that the appearance of the cockroach was related to that gaze, but what was the reason?
After all, she didn't make any obvious noise at all.
But there must be something in common between her and Wang Xiaoyang, which is why they encountered the same thing.
Wait, the only thing she and Wang Xiaoyang have in common is probably that they both attracted a certain amount of attention just now.
Is this what is called a taboo?
Although it seems that only cockroaches will appear now, there may be changes next time. Therefore, Qiao Yuan is not going to verify it. He just silently adds the matter of "not attracting attention" in his heart and waits for others to discuss it later.
Because each class took turns visiting in order and at different times, the room was not crowded.
Qiao Yuan still remembered that at first she felt that the gaze seemed to come from the teaching building, but it was impossible for her not to go in. After all, according to the activity arrangement, they had to stay in there at night. It would be safer to go in now while it was still light and there were so many people.
In addition to the complete outdoor entertainment facilities, Chunhuahua Kindergarten also has a children's library, children's kitchen, pottery room, painting studio and other activity rooms in the teaching building. Many children have left happy memories here.
The teacher obviously took this into consideration and also left time for them to experience it with their parents.
Qiao Buyan and Sang Miao seemed to be worried that Qiao Yuan would be traumatized by the cockroach just now, so they tried desperately to divert her attention and took her to do pottery, painting, and handicrafts.
Qiao Yuan also did an excellent job of disguising himself as a child. While wondering whether the gaze just now came from this teaching building, he followed his parents to do handicrafts.
Teacher Li Zi and Teacher Lin shuttled between parents and children.
Teacher Lin is a serious person, while Teacher Li Zi is much gentler and generous in giving compliments: "Wow, what is this? It looks just like our classroom. I can recognize it right away."
"Are these three aliens? So creative... Oh, sorry, it turns out they are a family of three. That's great."
"Who is this? Me? No wonder I feel so familiar with it. Thank you, Ruirui baby..."
Qiao Buyan, Sang Miao and Qiao Yuan, who were sitting not far away, naturally heard it all clearly.
Sang Miao commented: "It's hard to be a teacher."
Qiao Buyan and Qiao Yuan both nodded subconsciously.
Qiao Yuan felt that the kindergarten teachers had seen more abstract works than some experts in the art field, and the fact that they could see the human form was enough to impress her.
The following time was obviously calm, and in a blink of an eye, they got a short period of free time.
Except for a small number of children who still stick to their parents, most of the children have already run to play with other children.
Qiao Yuan also planned to find He Ze and others to see if they had any new discoveries.
Wang Xiaoyang finally took the opportunity when someone came to talk to his parents to shake off the two of them and followed closely in Qiao Yuan's footsteps.
The four of them met by chance in the corridor and eventually found a quiet place to chat.
He Ze spoke first, his eyes fell on Wang Xiaoyang: "What on earth did you do to attract cockroaches?"
At that time, he also noticed the noise coming from Qiao Yuan and Wang Xiaoyang's class, but because they were some distance away and there were already a group of people around them, he couldn't see the scene. He only knew from other people's descriptions that the other party had vomited out cockroaches.
The look he gave Wang Xiaoyang was filled with anxiety and disgust, and he deliberately kept a distance from the other person.
He Ze also felt that the appearance of cockroaches was somewhat unusual. Wang Xiaoyang might have been targeted, but why was she being targeted?
Although several hours had passed, Wang Xiaoyang's body couldn't help but tremble when she heard the word "cockroach". She felt that this incident might become a shadow in her life. However, He Ze did not give her too much buffer time. Seeing that she did not answer, he asked again anxiously.
"I've encountered that too." It was Qiao Yuan who answered He Ze and also told him his own guess.
Qiao Yuan also told others what happened to him. He Ze was stunned. He had already entered the classroom and had no idea about this matter.
He Ze: "Is it to attract attention?"
"No." This time it was Sheng Guiye, who hardly spoke.
The other person's fingertips rubbed the Buddhist beads on his wrist, his face calm, "Just now in the classroom, a boy was yelling on the ground because of a conflict with his parents. The sound was about 120-122 decibels. At least 30 of the 56 people present looked over, and the turning back rate was as high as over 53%, but nothing happened."
Although Sheng Guiye was a man of few words, he explained things clearly in just a few words, making Qiao Yuan feel like he was listening to a work report, especially the precise data.
Her eyes fell on the Buddhist beads that the other person had been stroking.
No wonder Sheng Guiye always carries Buddhist beads with him. It turns out that it is so that he can do abacus at any time.
Wang Xiaoyang and He Ze also looked greatly shocked.
Wang Xiaoyang was in a daze: "...Is this the legendary speaking with data?"
However, Sheng Guiye's words still revealed some information to Qiao Yuan. There was a boy who was also attracting much attention and there was nothing unusual about him.
Qiao Yuan frowned. Could this have something to do with gender?
Gender discrimination?
still……
After hearing what Sheng Guiye said, He Ze also spoke of another piece of information he knew: "Hu Mingxuan, the child's parents came today. His mother kept hugging her daughter and crying. She said that Hu Mingxuan had just passed his fourth birthday when he died, and her daughter had never seen her brother. I also overheard her telling the teacher that when the child first entered kindergarten, he was very envious when he heard that the children in the older class had a graduation ceremony. Now she brought Hu Mingxuan's sister to help the child fulfill his wish."
Qiao Yuan: "What about Zhang Ying?"
He Ze thought for a few seconds, scratched his head and then said, "That girl? I don't know. Her parents didn't come. Anyway, the parents looked regretful when they mentioned it. Anyway, they seemed to be very secretive about the deaths of the two people."
Just then, footsteps were heard.
Wang Xiaoyang's nerves have been as tense as a bow most of the time since she entered the dungeon, and any slight disturbance will cause her to react violently.
This time she screamed "Ouch" subconsciously, her legs trembled violently, and she actually sat down on the ground.
At this time, the footsteps were getting closer and closer. It turned out to be a little child. When he saw the four people hiding here, he thought they were playing hide-and-seek, so he curiously asked them if he could join. After being rejected, he left neatly.
When Wang Xiaoyang saw that the person coming was a child, he breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at the others: "Who of you can give me a hand?"
"I...I can't stand up anymore."
He Ze's disgust towards Wang Xiaoyang reached its peak.
But Wang Xiaoyang's questions were not over yet. After being pulled up by Qiao Yuan, she soon discovered an important problem -
His pants were stained with dirt from the ground.
If she went back now, she could already imagine her parents, who were already angry, would probably take her away from the kindergarten under the pretext of going home to change clothes.
She could only look at the other three with pleading eyes: "Can you accompany me to the bathroom again?"
"Please, I'll be quick, just a few minutes."
The four of them came to the children's bathroom on the same floor.
The bathroom is also very brightly colored. The men's and women's bathrooms are separate, but the washbasins are connected, and there is a row of hand dryers next to them.
The washbasin is blue and pink, and the mirror is cartoon-shaped, suitable for children's height.
Wang Xiaoyang was indeed very fast. After simply wiping his pants, he immediately ran to dry them.
While He Ze was waiting, he remembered that he had just finished making pottery, so he wiped his hands casually, and also thought of taking this opportunity to wash his hands.
But the moment he turned on the faucet, his eyes widened.
