My childhood sweetheart, who was reborn with me, ended up as a loser.

Chapter 7: Selecting Your Childhood Self

I don't know how the kindergarten schedule is arranged. Not long after class starts, we have to gather downstairs for morning exercises.

Hearing the familiar "Sports Tune," Xu Qingfan subconsciously looked at his shoelaces before remembering that he was wearing sandals today and didn't need to tie them.

I don't know which set of broadcast gymnastics they're doing now, but there aren't many kids on the playground doing it seriously. They're all just dancing around and having their own interpretations.

After a haphazard morning exercise, Teacher Xiaoyu was going to take them to the cafeteria for breakfast.

"Teacher Xiaoyu, we've already had breakfast. Can we go play over there?" Xu Qingfan pointed to the swings over there and ran up to Teacher Xiaoyu to ask.

"Of course you can, but you can only play for twenty minutes. After twenty minutes you have to go back to class. Is that alright?"

"Can!"

Xu Qingfan, Lin Wanning, and Xiao Ruanwen spoke in unison, and Xia Xiaoxiao's lips twitched slightly, as if she had already said it.

There were four swings on the playground. Everyone had gone to eat breakfast, so they ran over and each took one.

Xiao Ruanwen is quite outgoing and chatted with Lin Wanning about anime. When they talked about "Cardcaptor Sakura", the two even performed a spell solo on the spot.

Xu Qingfan was also asked to be the referee to compete in whose spell was more authentic.

Siu Yuen-man probably watched "Cardcaptor Sakura" on Star TV, so she spoke Mandarin when reciting her lines, while Lam Man-ning obviously watched it on TVB, so he spoke Cantonese.

If Xu Qingfan were to judge, he would naturally prefer Wan Ning's Cantonese dubbing; Guangdong Wisdom Voice is no joke.

However, his skill in handling water was also impressive, so he said, "I think Ruan Wen's delivery of lines is smoother; she doesn't stumble when reciting incantations, while Wan Ning stumbles when reciting incantations, but..."

Lin Wanning was anxious, and his palms were sweating. Fortunately, there was a "but" after Qingfan's words.

"However, Wan Ning has a stronger sense of conviction when chanting incantations, which Ruan Wen doesn't do as well, so it's a tie, I suppose!"

"Hehe~ That's right, that's right, Ningning has a strong sense of conviction, she has a strong sense of conviction!" Lin Wanning clapped her hands happily in celebration.

Undeterred, Xiao Ruanwen said, "I'll practice in front of the mirror when I get home this afternoon!"

"Ningning needs to practice too!"

Xia Xiaoxiao's lips twitched slightly. In her heart, she actually admired Xu Qingfan's patience. If they hadn't been reborn, Xu Qingfan would probably have become a very good husband and father.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, aren't you going to eat?"

Xu Qingfan appeared in front of her without her noticing, and fed her a spoonful of Kinder Surprise eggs.

Xia Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze and subconsciously opened her mouth, the sweetness of white chocolate slowly blooming in her mouth.

"Thank you," she mumbled.

Xu Qingfan devoured the last bit of chocolate. This wasteful stuff really didn't last long; it cost eight yuan a piece, and the four of them each only had a small spoonful before it was gone.

"Is it delicious, Brother Qingfan?"

"It's delicious, but it's too expensive. Tomorrow I'll bring Wan Ning a Planet Cup, the same as this one, but it only costs 50 cents."

"Okay, okay!" Lin Wanning's eyes curved into crescent moons as soon as she heard that her brother Qingfan was going to bring her snacks.

Aside from Yi Yi, this was the first time a good friend had offered to bring her snacks, so she didn't care whether the Planet Cup cost 50 cents or a dollar.

"I'm going to throw out the trash and use the restroom. You guys wait here for me."

"good!"

Xu Qingfan waved his hand, Xia Xiaoxiao stared blankly at the blue sky, Xiao Ruanwen was playing with the toys she had taken out of the Kinder Surprise Eggs, and only Lin Wanning kept staring at his back.

He had only been gone a short while when the bell above his head rang, and a flood poured out of the cafeteria entrance as if a dam had been opened.

Xu Qingfan thought to himself that he probably couldn't hold onto his swing throne, but it wasn't a big deal. The sun was shining, so he went back to the classroom to enjoy the fan.

When he came out of the restroom, he could see from afar that his swing had been taken, and Lin Wanning, Xiao Ruanwen, and Xia Xiaoxiao were still waiting for him.

Just as Xu Qingfan was about to go over and join them, he suddenly saw a fat guy circle around behind Lin Wanning and, catching Wanning off guard, forcefully push her off the swing.

"You son of a bitch!" Xu Qingfan roared in fury, rushing over to fight that brat to the death.

Fatty was unaware of the impending danger. After succeeding, he laughed heartily and, still not satisfied, went to push Xiao Ruanwen next to him.

Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned, Lin Wanning was crying, and Xu Qingfan had not yet arrived, but Xiao Ruanwen had moved.

She raised her hand and slapped the naughty child across the face. The crisp sound of the slap was quite pleasant, and half of the child's face instantly became red and swollen.

The kid was stunned for three seconds, then burst into tears. Enraged, he brandished his fists and was about to retaliate.

Xiao Ruanwen showed no fear whatsoever. She protected her head with both hands and instead of retreating, she advanced, throwing a right hook followed by a left hook at his fat face, and finally finishing with a flying kick, easily knocking him to the ground.

When Xu Qingfan ran over, the battle was already over. He nervously took Lin Wanning's hand to check the injury. Fortunately, it was just a minor scrape, and there was no blood.

"Wan Ning, do you feel any pain anywhere? Does your hand hurt?" Xu Qingfan asked anxiously.

Lin Wanning was about to cry from feeling wronged, but the culprit on the ground was wailing and howling, which made her feel embarrassed to feel wronged.

"Ningning doesn't feel pain!" She shook her head, pouting, but putting on a strong front.

Xu Qingfan patted her head, and when Lin Wanning saw her brother Qingfan smile at her, she couldn't help but smile too.

"Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan, what do we do? He's vomiting blood! Is he going to die?" Xiao Ruanwen came over and grabbed his hand anxiously. "It's not my fault! I didn't even use any force!"

Xu Qingfan felt his hand being pinched painfully by Ruan Wen. And this was without her using any force; if she used more force, she would surely kill him.

"It's alright, it's alright. He's probably just losing his baby teeth. Let's go find his teacher and ask Ms. Xiaoyu to help us!"

Xu Qingfan patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

"Teacher Qingfan is here!" Lin Wanning pointed to a large group of teachers who were rushing over from a distance.

Soon, a plump woman rushed over, helped Jiahao up from the ground, and then yelled like a shrew, "Damn it, who beat my Ahhao like this?! Who was it?!"

As he spoke, his fat jiggled on his face, and his fierce gaze sent the surrounding children fleeing in fear.

Xiao Ruanwen and Lin Wanning hid behind Xu Qingfan in fear, while only he and Xia Xiaoxiao were unafraid.

Jiahao suddenly stopped crying, spat out a bloody tooth, pointed at Xu Qingfan, and wailed, "Mom, it was him! He's the one who hit me!"

He actually meant to refer to Xiao Ruanwen behind Xu Qingfan, but the fat woman misunderstood. Seeing that Xu Qingfan was still so fearless, she was furious and raised her hand to teach him a lesson.

"Stop, Teacher Wang!"

"Stop!"

Xu Qingfan's left hand was being held by Xiao Ruanwen, and his right hand by Lin Wanning. It was too late for him to break free.

Fortunately, Xia Xiaoxiao was not frightened. She seized the opportunity when Wang raised her leg and kicked her hard. Before Teacher Wang's hand could even reach her head, she was already lying face down on the ground.

Xu Qingfan looked at Xia Xiaoxiao and gave her a grateful look.

Xia Xiaoxiao dodged back, crossed her arms again, and arrogantly raised her chin.

"Hmph~"

The teachers who rushed over quickly helped Ms. Wang up and held her down to prevent her from losing control and hurting others.

Upon seeing that Teacher Xiaoyu and the dean had arrived, Xu Qingfan immediately jumped in to complain, "Teacher Xiaoyu, we were playing on the swings here when that person deliberately pushed Wanning off the swings, and Wanning got hurt!"

He took Lin Wanning's hand and showed it to her. Lin Wanning cooperated perfectly, and two large tears welled up from the corners of her eyes.

"Ouch~ Ningning's hands hurt!"

"Then after pushing Wan Ning, he tried to push Ruan Wen, but Ruan Wen dodged him. He became enraged and started hitting her. Ruan Wen was, of course, acting in self-defense!"

"Who knew he was such a loser? He couldn't even beat a girl. Ruan Wen just gave him a light push and he fell over, knocking out his teeth!"

After shifting the blame, Xu Qingfan added, "No wonder he bullies everyone he sees; it turns out his mother is a kindergarten teacher!"

Xu Qingfan spoke loudly, and almost all the teachers present could hear him clearly.

Teacher Wang probably knew her son's character well, and the little spark that had just risen was quickly extinguished by Xu Qingfan's reasoned and well-founded words.

Even Teacher Wang didn't doubt that Xu Qingfan was lying, so the other teachers naturally believed him even more.

After all, it's difficult for a child to lie so easily, and Xu Qingfan's words were very coherent.

"I'm sorry, little one. I lost my temper just now and didn't tell you what happened. I apologize to you." Teacher Wang looked like a wilted eggplant, hunching over and forcing a smile.

Xu Qingfan felt a surge of hot blood stuck in his throat, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Damn it, what kind of villain are you?!

Seeing that Xu Qingfan remained silent, Teacher Wang immediately raised her hand to slap him, but looking at her son's face, which was swollen like a pig's head, she couldn't bring herself to hit him.

"Apologize to them!"

The fatso was quite stubborn, glaring at Xu Qingfan with resentment, refusing to apologize.

Xu Qingfan wasn't about to tolerate that. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he ran to the willow tree, broke off the thickest willow branch, ran back, and handed the branch to Teacher Wang.

"I think he just doesn't realize his mistake. Teacher Wang, if you use this to hit him, it will only cause superficial injuries. Aren't you afraid of hurting the child?"

Onlookers: ...

Teacher Wang felt as if he had swallowed a dead fly, and took the willow branch.

soon.

"Serves you right for bullying your classmate! Serves you right for bullying your classmate!"

"Waaah! Mom, please stop hitting me! I know I was wrong!"

Everyone watched the scene unfold with amusement. This time, no one stepped forward to stop them, after all, it was only natural for an old mother to discipline her son.

"Willow twigs hurt a lot when you hit someone, and clothes hangers are a second worst offender. When I was a child, my dad used willow twigs to whip me because I refused to eat with chopsticks," Xu Qingfan said.

"Brother Qingfan, where does it hurt? Let Ningning blow on it for you." Lin Wanning rubbed her eyes and looked at him with concern.

Xu Qingfan patted the silly boy's head. Fortunately, Wan Ning was not seriously injured, otherwise he would have definitely died with this fatso!

It's amazing, really. They've only known each other for less than 24 hours, yet he's already formed such a deep bond with Lin Wanning.

...

The farce ended quickly, and Teacher Wang sheepishly took Jiahao to the infirmary for treatment.

As for Lin Wanning's hand injury, it really proved the saying that if he wasn't taken to the hospital soon, the wound would have healed completely.

After parting ways with the teacher, Xiao Ruanwen grabbed Xu Qingfan's wrist with sparkling eyes and said admiringly, "Xiaofan, Xiaofan, you were so amazing just now! You rattled off a whole bunch of things. I was so scared when I saw the teacher!"

"I'm nowhere near as good as you. You knocked that fat guy down in just a few punches and kicks. Ruan Wen, have you ever practiced martial arts? How come you're so cool?"

Xu Qingfan was genuinely curious; given Xiao Ruanwen's clean and efficient movements during the fight, he might not be able to beat her in a one-on-one situation.

"There were no three punches and two kicks! I clearly only used two punches and one kick!" Xiao Ruanwen puffed out her cheeks to correct him, then quickly added proudly, "My dad owns a martial arts school! I've been practicing martial arts since I was three years old!"

"I've heard so much about you!" Xu Qingfan clasped his hands in a fist salute to her.

Lin Wanning followed suit, saying in Cantonese, "I've heard so much about you."

"Hey!" Xiao Ruanwen's eyes lit up, and she suddenly had an idea. "Do you want to learn martial arts? Come to my family's martial arts school and I'll have my dad teach you for free!"

Do you practice martial arts?

Xu Qingfan was genuinely interested, not for the sake of physical fitness, but simply because he was impressed by Xiao Ruanwen's smooth little combo.

"Okay, Ruan Wen, where is your martial arts school? Xiao Xiao and I will come visit you during our vacation."

"And Ningning, and Ningning too, Brother Qingfan, and Ningning too!" Lin Wanning shook Xu Qingfan's arm and acted coquettishly, feeling wronged that Brother Qingfan didn't add her name.

"I'll go to Ruan Wen's martial arts school first to familiarize myself with the way, and then I'll bring Ningning here separately."

"Ah...hehe, um!"

Lin Wanning was instantly appeased and felt incredibly happy.

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. No wonder Xu Qingfan had passed the teacher qualification exam; his knowledge of child psychology was truly worthwhile.

As for why he stayed home writing novels after obtaining his teaching certificate, you'd have to ask him about his standard Mandarin.

Peanuts for me!

...

The boring morning classes ended quickly.

After sitting in a row to eat lunch and watching an episode of Teletubbies, the children obediently went to bed.

Perhaps because he didn't sleep well last night, or perhaps because he felt less stressed, Xu Qingfan finally regained the sleep quality that a child his age should have during his afternoon nap, and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

I also had a very long dream.

In his dream, he returned to his childhood and met a kind older brother who played with him for an afternoon and even took him to eat his favorite KFC.

When he got home, he shared his joy of the day with his mother.

Mom said, "Don't eat food from strangers, and be careful when you're out, you silly girl."

"That's what Mom and my older brother said too!"

"Mom, my older brother also said that if someone asked me to choose between 50 billion dollars and myself as a child, I must choose myself as a child. What does that mean, Mom?"

Suddenly, Mom realized something, looked up at the door, and tears welled up in her eyes before she could speak.

"Take care of yourself, you idiot." The older brother waved and disappeared into the afterglow of the setting sun.
