“Got it. Now, to do this, cross the flowers like this….”
I explained slowly at the child’s eye level, teaching Catherine how to weave the flowers.
After making a small ring and putting it on Catherine’s finger, the child stood up, clapping and laughing brightly.
“Wow, it’s pretty.”
“Isn’t it?”
“Yeah. Catherine, now you can do it. Try doing it by yourself.”
“Okay. I’ll make one and show it to you, Unni. Deal?”
“Sure!”
Feeling confident that she could do it on her own, Catherine sat back on the ground.
While watching Catherine with an admiring expression, I turned my attention to the other children.
Unaware of the passing time, the children were fully focused on creating a single masterpiece.
Jimmy stood up from his spot and approached me, extending his palm toward me.
On his palm lay a small flower ring.
“Unni, here it is.”
“Wow, you made a flower ring?”
“Yeah. I’ll give this to you, Unni.”
“You’re giving this to me? Really?”
Smiling, I asked Jimmy, and the child vigorously nodded up and down.
“In return, when I’m bigger than Unni, marry me!”
“What?”
Surprised by the sudden confession, I looked at Jimmy with a shocked expression.
In response, Jimmy’s face turned bright red.
“Jimmy, do you really want to marry Unni?”
“Yes. I’m serious.”
In the child’s eyes as he said those words, there was a strong determination filled with genuine sincerity.
The boy, who was only ten years old but confidently making a bold confession, looked incredibly cute and adorable.
“So, promise me you won’t get married until then, just like Sister Adelia. Got it?”
But what should I say in response?
To lie to a child who was sincere to this extent felt wrong, and refusing was difficult, fearing it might make the child sad.
After a moment of contemplation on how to respond, a suitable answer came to mind, and I spoke up.
“If Jimmy’s feelings remain the same when he grows this much taller and becomes an adult, he can come find his sister. If, at that time, his sister isn’t married, Jimmy can marry her.”
I said it, and it was quite a plausible response.
“Really?”
Satisfied with himself, Jimmy looked at me with joy, hopping around.
“I’ll never change, so make sure to wait for me, Sister. Got it?”
With a confident voice, Jimmy loudly exclaimed towards me.
I gently patted the child’s head, and a bright smile formed on my face.
After making various accessories using flowers, we played hide-and-seek with the children.
Engaged in lively activities, before I knew it, the entire sky had turned red.
Now, I returned to the childcare center with the children, intending to go home.
“Sister, don’t go. Can’t you stay with us longer?”
“That’s right, Sister! Don’t go.”
As always, the children insisted on playing more and held onto me.
“Sorry. Next time, I’ll bring many more gifts and come to play. Okay?”
In truth, if I were to go abroad for my studies, bringing gifts or sponsorship funds, it seemed like a distant future when I could personally come here. My heart felt slightly painful at the thought.
Looking at the children’s small hands reaching out, offering promises with their fingers, I felt a slight sense of guilt. Repeating that I would come again, I reassured the children.
“Hmm, I want to play more with Sister.”
“Sorry, kids. Next time, I’ll bring a lot of toys, so let’s play with those.”
I apologized to the children with a regretful expression.
“Well, I’m leaving now. Take care until we meet again. Stay healthy, and don’t bother Headmistress too much.”
By the time I returned from studying abroad, they would have surely grown a lot.
“At that time, Jimmy will probably have grown a lot taller.”
The image of the grown-up children brought a contented smile to my face.
“Sister, goodbye. Come again next time.”
“Goodbye, Sister!”
After exchanging the final farewells with the children, I boarded the carriage.
A while later, as the carriage started moving, I opened the window and continued waving until the children were no longer visible.
Reflecting on the joyful and happy time spent with the children today, I returned home.
A week later, a letter arrived from the academy.
As soon as I received the letter, I promptly headed to the study.
And, before opening the envelope, I took a long deep breath to calm my nerves for a moment.
“Phew.”
Since I heard Blake’s words last time, there wasn’t a profound sense of anxiety.
However, knowing there’s always something unexpected, I couldn’t completely let go of my worries.
During the week spent waiting, the academy finally notified me of the results.
Is it okay?
Without letting go of the thread of hope, I opened the envelope and took out the letter.
As soon as I unfolded the paper, it precisely read as follows:
“We would like to inform you that you have been selected as a recipient for this year’s study abroad program.”
I read the contents of the letter as calmly as possible and reread it, just to confirm I hadn’t misread anything.
But, as expected, the letter’s content matched exactly with what I had read.
It’s real!
I’m going to study abroad.
“Amy!”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
