Su Mu looked at the low pressure around Su Xiaoli and felt ashamed of his academic performance for the first time in his life.
After a moment of silence, Su Mu tried his best to put on a smile and said to Su Xiaoli: "Then... how about my brother take you to eat something delicious tonight? Can I make it up to you?"
Su Xiaoli shook his head silently and stopped talking.
Su Mu stood there and looked at Su Xiaoli, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
After a long while, Su Xiaoli stretched out his hand and tugged on his sleeve, and whispered: "Brother, can I not go to kindergarten?"
"Ah? Why?" After hearing Su Xiaoli's words, Su Mu was stunned.
In the first few days when she started going to kindergarten, wasn't she happy every day? Why didn't she want to go after less than a month?
"There's no reason..." Su Xiaoli said to him in a voice as low as a mosquito's hum.
"Did you get bullied by your classmates in kindergarten?" The first reaction in Su Mu's mind was what he saw when he went to pick up Su Xiaoli from kindergarten that day.
Could it be that after that day, the boys in her class gathered around her and wanted to kiss her again?
"No." Su Xiaoli shook his head.
"Is the teacher treating you badly?" Su Mu thought about it again and felt that when he saw Su Xiaoli's class teacher that day, he felt pretty good. Their teacher didn't look like the kind of teacher with a bad temper.
"Not really..." Su Xiaoli silently shook his head again.
"Why is that?" Su Mu suddenly became anxious, "Weren't you looking forward to going to kindergarten before? Why don't you want to go to kindergarten after only a few days?"
"..."
Su Xiaoli lowered her head. No matter how much Su Mu asked, she just didn't speak.
Su Mu looked at Su Xiaoli who was silent and didn't want to go to school. For some reason, Su Mu suddenly felt like a parent.
When his mother saw him being so naughty and unwilling to go to school, was she just as angry and anxious as he is now?
The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time. Su Mu finally took a deep breath and said to Su Xiaoli: "Whether you want to continue going to school or not is not up to me. If you don't wait until mother comes back in the evening, you can
Let’s discuss it with mom.”
"I..." After hearing Su Mu's words, Su Xiaoli couldn't help but raise his head and looked at him with a pair of clear eyes shining with pleading.
Su Mu held his breath in his heart, pretending not to see her eyes, holding her little hand and walking directly towards home.
After arriving home, Su Mu heated up some food for Su Xiaoli, and the two sat face to face and finished their dinner without saying a word for the first time.
After dinner, Su Mu went to his room to do homework. Su Xiaoli sat on the sofa in the living room with his head hanging, not knowing what he was thinking.
At almost nine o'clock, Su Mu's mother finally came back from get off work.
As soon as he heard the doorbell downstairs, Su Mu immediately stood up from his desk, ran down the stairs, stood in the living room, looked at his mother and shouted: "Mom, you are back."
"Well, it's so cold outside, I'm almost freezing to death." Su Mu's mother said with a shiver while changing into slippers.
"Mom, Xiaoli has something to tell you." Su Mu glanced at Su Xiaoli, who was sitting on the sofa next to her. She was looking at her mother timidly.
