Sang Yu was stunned. She didn’t expect such a young child to ask this question.
She patted his head gently and replied, “You are so young but you have such mature thoughts…”
Before she finished her sentence, Wang Haonan gripped her hand tightly and gazed at Shen Peichuan. “Are you dating Ms. Sang?” he asked.
Facing the students, Shen Peichuan replied, “Yes, I am.”
No wonder Ms. Sang was hugging him. However, Haonan was worried that Shen Peichuan might mistreat Ms. Sang. The boy questioned again, “Will you treat her well?”
Sang Yu look at Wang Haonan and muttered, “Haonan…”
“Ms. Sang, you have no family so we are your family. We will protect you and ensure that no one will look down on you or bully you.”
“Yes, Yes,” chorused the students as they surrounded Sang Yu. They all asked, “Will you treat Ms. Sang well?”
Although Sang Yu had already calmed down, she was extremely moved. Her lips curved up into a smile but her eyes filled up with tears once again.
Shen Peichuan looked indifferent but his heart was beating extremely fast. He was also touched by the words of these caring students.
Look at how innocent they are. If someone treats them nicely, they will genuinely be nice to him or her in return.
The best feeling in the world has to be this authentic kindness.
He replied seriously, “Yes, I will treat her well.”
“We will all remember what you said. If you fail to live up to your promise, we will not forgive you!” exclaimed Wang Haonan with all the other students agreeing.
Sang Yu patted Wang Haonan’s shoulder. “Ok, that’s enough. Does your knee still hurt?”
Initially, his knees felt alright. But he suddenly remembered his knees were injured and he was now feeling a throbbing sensation. He quickly sat down and sighed, “I thought that I can marry you when I grow older. I can’t believe someone else beat me to it.”
Sang Yu, who was touched just a moment ago, suddenly burst out laughing.
“You silly goose,” she replied.
“Ms. Sang, will you marry this uncle?” Ye Zi questioned.
Sang Yu choked. She could easily express her love for him and treat him nicely.
However, she couldn’t decide on marriage as it was a decision involving two people, not just her.
She could not make this decision alone.
“Well…” she trailed off, unsure how to explain it to the students. Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Peichuan interrupted her, “Yes, we will get married.”
He said it without a waver in his voice; he was extremely certain about it.
He planned to quickly finish his matters involving Song Yaxin and then bring Sang Yu back with him.
Sang Yu lifted her head and looked at him, clinging to his shirt. Although she should be delighted, she was unsure of how to react. She felt uneasy and on edge.
Is this all a dream?
When she left him, she thought that she would never see him again. However, he reappeared in front of her eyes and even… gave her hope over something she yearned for.
Her eyes dampened, but she forced a smile and uttered, “You guys are so horrible by trying to make me cry.”
Shen Peichuan walked over and wiped away her tears. He comforted her, “Don’t cry, or I would think that you don’t agree with what I just said.”
Wang Haonan blinked in astonishment. This uncle is so foolish. ”Shouldn’t you be hugging Ms. Sang to comfort her? Isn’t that what your shoulders are for?” he asked.
Sang Yu lowered her head and chuckled. Shen Peichuan isn’t such a sly person. He always acted in a proper manner. I can’t believe he got chided by a little kid.
I’m so useless. Shen Peichuan lower his head and touched his nose. He had wanted to do so but felt awkward in front of all the children.
“Hug! Hug!” Wang Haonan chanted. Soon, all the students were shouting, “Hug! Hug…”
“Stop acting like such a nuisance,” Sang Yu replied, pretending to be annoyed.
“Sir, you disappointed all of us,” Wang Haonan lamented, “You have embarrassed all men!”
Shen Peichuan held his forehead in annoyance. Did I really fail as a man?
Sang Yu understood his personality well. To stop everyone from screaming, she tiptoed and wrapped her arms around him. “It’s fine,” she whispered, “I understand what you are thinking. I can take the initiative to hug you.”
He was moved by her kind gesture and he could feel the warmth of her hands around him. He immediately hugged her petite body. Although he was a man of few words, he was very much determined to spend the rest of his life with her.
When he was with her, his heart would race uncontrollably and he felt an indescribable joy from being with her.
“Sang Yu…” trailed Wang Wen. He had wanted to look for her to ask her about something, but when he saw her hugging Shen Peichuan in front of all the students, he felt lost for words.
Sang Yu let go of his hand. Shen Peichuan felt slightly self-conscious but didn’t want Sang Yu to face Wang Wen alone. He continued to hold her hand tightly and asked, “Are you looking for her?”
He gazed at their tightly clenched hands but quickly refocused his gaze and replied, “Someone is looking for you.”
“Looking for me?” Shen Peichuan asked in a perplexed tone.
I don’t know anyone around here.
“Yes. There is someone looking for you,” Wang Wen replied. At that moment, somebody stepped into the classroom. He gazed at Shen Peichuan and then at Sang Yu. “Shen Peichuan, I am the one looking for you,” he stated clearly.
