*Based off of the game Kindergarten on Steam, here's a link to the store page https://store.steampowered.com/app/589590/Kindergarten/* 
A detective was reincarnated into a body of a kindergartner. All seemed to be going good. However, he soon realizes that he was completely wrong.....

"Lily! Look! Look!" Adrien squeaked while his little hands had grabbed her arm and shook it vigorously. 
"What is it, sweetie?" 
With his little finger he pointed to the big screen. Blinking back to reality, Lily looked over and put the brochure about Marien kindergarden aside. 
"No, they will hurt Anne-Marie?" Whimpered the toddler. His eyes were glassy as he stretched his arms up in the air and silently demanded Lily's embrace.
Gently she pulled the teary-eyed boy onto her lap and kissed him on the forehead. "Everything will be all right."
"Noooo! Look there is a crocodile." Adrien cried, rubbing his nose against her check. A stab flashed across her cheek. She gritted.
The bright colors were flickering on the screen. On a pool of water, she saw a little girl swimming unconscious on a wooden box. A ring of fire lashed around her, while a fat crocodile was already lurking in the depths.  Tense orchestral music was seething in the background. Lily had not really followed the plot of the kiddy movie. She thought that a film with a talking dog would be child-friendly. 
Soothing, she was reaching down to ruffle Adrien's soft hair. "Look, Addy! Charlie will save her." 
Cautiously he lifted his head off her chest. Peeking curiously at the TV screen once again. 
His eyes became all round with amazement. "Wow!" He cried out. While the dog saved the girl from drowning.
Adrien blinked, his cheeks a little flushed, eyes wide as he starred in astonishment on screen. Now she could actually feel relaxed again after the toddler finelly was leaning back and watching the show.
Lily picked up the brochure of the catholic Marien Kindergarden again and immersed herself once more in the literature that Alexandre had brought her. She needed to decide upon a kindergarten for the little one. But to be honest, she had no idea what was important. What preschooling would do for Adrien. She lacked the necessary experience.
Suddenly becoming a mother was a challenge. Crucial questions about education and care were new territory for her. Lily still had a lot to learn. Which is why her laptop was ready to use on the coffee table and always at her side was the Internet as her loyal advisor. 
She was surfing in parent forums, child development cycle pages and educational online journals. But still she felt helpless. The more she dealt with the important issues of raising children, the more question marks danced through her mind. There was not even one person she could pray to for advice. After all, only a handful of people were aware of the secret concerning Adrien. And this people didn't know more about parenting than she did. So hope were to get books like "Parenting For Dummies" or "Mum's Survival Guide". Her new agenda for the week was: trip to a bookstore! It seems it took more than love to be a good mother. She felt like motherhood had to be studied at university to manage the job successfully.
But Lily was just a career changer who had somehow gotten the job, but had no idea what she was even doing. 
Suddenly, she heard voices coming from the hallway. Pretty early for Alexandre, she thought, and was about to put the brochure aside when the door swung open and an elegant woman in a short-sleeved purple body-con dress with a flat collar stood in the frame. For a moment her eyes widened in astonishment. However, she quickly got rid of all emotions on her flawless face.

At the age of five, Lillian realized that she was cannon fodder for the rise of the main character of the novel 'My loyal hubby'.
To avoid her tragic end, she decides to make MC her new BFF.
Lillian decides to become the personal matchmaker of MC and ML. With all her strength, she defends the lovers against the remaining villains of the novel. With only one thought in mind - stay alive!
But all of a sudden when Lillian thinks she has finally escaped her tragedy, MC and ML die in a plane crash and leaving Lillian their son.
Together with ML's older brother, a cold, bossy CEO, Lillian has to take care of little Adrien.
Join Lillian on her usual journey as a mother and wife.

Her staff members were momentarily stunned. "What?"
Peng Yu asked, "What's the matter? Can't I cooperate with the television station? Go and tell them that we want a suite at that hotel. Also, I want the same kind of room as Lin Che. It better be close to her room, on the same floor, and look the same. It can't be different in any way!"

That day, the program immediately garnered high viewer ratings the moment it was broadcast.
Several interesting incidents that happened during the live broadcast were immediately uploaded on Weibo and shared.
Lin Che had an edge in the sense that she spoke in a very amusing manner and created her own highlights. Since she started getting famous in the past, she had made fun of herself without ever caring about her image. She did not seem pretentious at all and instead always seemed to let nature take its course. Her interactions with the host were very smooth as well. The pace of the entire program was extremely good and it felt like they were engaging in mutual banter. The venue became lively as well and there was constant laughter. Many funny segments were uploaded online and shared by people.
Many people quickly went to watch the program online because of Lin Che's segments.
Thus, after the viewer ratings went up, the number of online streams went up even more.
Not long after the program began its broadcast, the number of online streams already began rising.
Businesses were good at seizing the opportune moment and had ample information. Upon seeing the situation, they immediately called Yu Minmin.
When Yu Minmin picked up the calls, she was extremely surprised.
A few programs called her consecutively to ask if Lin Che was interested in participating in their variety shows.
Everyone really wanted Lin Che to participate because they felt that she did particularly well on variety shows.
Yu Minmin hastily responded, "I'm sorry. We don't have any intentions to participate in any variety shows at the moment. We will contact you if we want to participate."
Lin Che was intending to become a serious actress. She was not going to develop in the area of variety programs. It was fine to participate in one or two variety shows, but her image would change if she kept appearing in them.
So even for variety shows, they had to choose carefully. She could only attend variety shows that would definitely be popular. If she appeared on shows that were not popular, it would instead damage her image.
As she watched the news, Yu Minmin felt that Lin Che did indeed have talent in this aspect. She was very good at controlling the situation. When she watched Lin Che's interview, Lin Che's interactions with Xue Yang and her stories about the two of them in the company, about Xue Yang's little secrets, and the first time they met, the lively and vivid way she described these things made people laugh in spite of themselves and immediately attracted their attention. They definitely would not skip her segment, nor would they find it awkward at all.

At the hospital.
Mu Feiran decided on a suitable house and brought Yunyun there. While driving, she felt a little unfamiliar with some of the traffic rules here as they were slightly different from the rules in America. After staying abroad for so long, she had gotten used to the roads there. She still felt a little strange after just buying a car here.
With Yunyun beside her, she was even more careful. She glanced at Yunyun reading a book obediently in the baby car seat and smiled. She felt very happy that Yunyun could continue going to school with Niannian here.
As long as Yunyun was happy, it was worth it for her to stay here.
Mu Feiran's handphone started ringing. She saw that it was unexpectedly Wei Jingjing again.
She still had the cheek to call.
Mu Feiran put in her earphones and took the call.
Seeing that the call had gotten through, Wei Jingjing hastily said, "Mu Feiran, not bad. When did you manage to seduce such an impressive sponsor?"
Mu Feiran asked, "Are you trying to ask me to return those photos? Sorry, there's no chance of that now."
"You… don't be too arrogant, Mu Feiran… it's useless for you to hold on to these photos too. I know that you're not lacking in money either but no one will be averse to having more money. Just name a price. How much money do you want before you will return the photos to me?"
"Excuse me for not being able to agree. I'm not selling them." Mu Feiran scoffed and immediately hung up the phone.
She knew that Wei Jingjing was now afraid, cowardly, and starting to relax her stance. Since that was the case, she was definitely not afraid that Wei Jingjing would do anything.
She proceeded to pick up her phone and immediately said to someone, "Regarding the photos I was talking about earlier, help me release them online. Remember to blur out the faces. Use the caption 'high society is such a mess'. Let people know that this person is from the entertainment industry, but don't reveal who it is."
Since Wei Jingjing had treated her that way the last time, she would not leave things as they were.
The person on the other end of the line instantly replied, "Alright. Don't worry. I'll release the photos now."
After making the arrangements, she turned to look at Yunyun.
Naturally, Yunyun could not hear what Mu Feiran was saying since she was wearing earphones. Mu Feiran did not want things like this to affect her daughter at all. Although she didn't even know who Yunyun's biological father was, Yunyun was a blank canvas from the moment she was born. As her mother, it was up to Mu Feiran to draw her future.
Thus, she did not care who Yunyun's father was. No matter what, Yunyun was her darling.
After alighting from the car, they just got inside their home when the kindergarten suddenly called to inform her that there was something wrong with the formalities for Yunyun's admission.
Mu Feiran asked gloomily, "What's wrong?"
The kindergarten staff said, "The disease-prevention form that we use here is missing. Our students must undergo the process before being admitted into the kindergarten. Now that she doesn't have it, we need this procedure to be done. Let us know when you're available…"
Mu Feiran had no choice but to say, "Alright, I'll do it right now."
Mu Feiran took Yunyun out again. In any event, she had nothing on that night, so she could bring Yunyun there and then take her elsewhere too.
However, upon arriving at the kindergarten she saw Mo Jinyan standing at the entrance.
She looked at Mo Jinyan who stood there dressed in black from head to toe. His coat made him look very tall and well-built. Although he had a cold air about him, he smiled when he walked over to them. "You're here."
The moment Yunyun saw Mo Jinyan, she quickly greeted him sweetly, "Hello, Uncle Mo."
Mo Jinyan's gaze softened even more as he looked at her. He looked down and swiftly lifted Yunyun off the ground.
Mu Feiran looked at him in surprise. "Why are you here?"
Mo Jinyan said, "Oh, the kindergarten called me. I arrived just now and I've already settled things. You don't have to bring Yunyun in."
"What?" Mu Feiran was even more confused. "Why did the kindergarten call you?"
Mo Jinyan looked at Yunyun and the corners of his lips turned up. "Since I said before that I would protect you and Yunyun, then I should undertake full responsibility. Thus, I gave the kindergarten my number. They can give me a call if there are any issues."
"What?" Mu Feiran was a bit taken aback.
Give him a call if there were issues…
She asked sheepishly, "How could we trouble you?"
Although Mo Jinyan had indeed said that before, she did not actually believe it. She had never expected him to fulfill his promise either. He had nothing to do with her at all. There was no need for him to do so much for her.
"Thank you. But it's better to leave trivial things like these to me."
"No way." Mo Jinyan said lowly, "I, Mo Jinyan, always mean what I say. Otherwise, how would I survive in this day and age? If other people say that I actually talked big and said empty words, who will listen to me in the future? Besides, these are just trivial matters."
"But…"
"If you really feel guilty, you can treat me to a meal. I came here before finishing my meal earlier."
"…"

This area housed many Chinese, and there were only a handful of locals.
The original owners next door were an elderly couple, but they recently moved back to their country.
"That's great!" The helper clapped her hands.
Su Yue stared at her, puzzled. "Why are you so excited?"
"I feel bad about receiving all the time. Now we can finally return the favor." She smiled and pointed to the kitchen. "I'll start cooking now."
Su Yue nodded. "Mm."
She placed the box against a wall and followed her to the kitchen.
Her helper began to wash some vegetables, and Su Yue said, "Aunty, tomorrow, I'll send Xiaojiao to school. At night, I need you to fetch her as I'm starting school too."
She had already decided to continue studying.
"Sure. Don't worry, I'll take care of Xiaojiao," said the helper.
Su Yue nodded, although she wasn't entirely reassured.
But, she needed to move on, didn't she?
…
It was a new school term and the campus was bustling with activities. Su Yue had applied to continue studying at her previous school.
The school had fewer restrictions, so she could still attend classes when she was pregnant.
And when both she and Jiao Chen had classes together, she would bring Xiaojiao along to classes, too.
Today, she wore a pale green pleated skirt and it billowed around her legs in the wind. 
Su Yue tied her hair into a loose ponytail. No one could even imagine that she was already a mother. 
She bumped into familiar faces on the way.
"Su! It has been a long time."
Two girls with blue eyes smiled warmly at Su Yue.
The girls in Country M were relatively taller and bigger. So when Su Yue stood next to them, she appeared even skinnier and tinier than usual.
Su Yue smiled at them. "Yeah, it's been some time."
"Where is the adorable girl?" one of them asked.
Su Yue replied, "She started kindergarten."
The girl was startled and said, "Wow! She is already in kindergarten!"
Su Yue smiled.
Time flew by so quickly indeed. She remembered how she used to cry all night when she was a baby.
And she was hospitalized frequently. But now she was already attending kindergarten.
Su Yue sighed quietly in her heart, and she prepared to bid them goodbye.
Suddenly one of the girls glanced at her. "Oh, yeah. Last year you gave me some pickled bean curd and it was delicious. I went to a Chinese supermarket for some, but the taste was different. Can you introduce me to an online store where I can buy it?"
"Huh!"
Online store? An online store selling pickled bean curd? How would she know?
Su Yue pondered for a moment. "My brother is coming over in a few days. I'll ask him to bring some over."
Jiao Chen brought back some pickled bean curd and coriander last year. But she didn't really like it, so she shared them with her classmates.
To think foreigners would like the taste.
The girl smiled happily. "Sure, I'll pay you."
Su Yue pressed her lips and smiled. "You're too polite."
But she didn't decline her gesture.
She was already used to them being clear about money issues. They usually go dutch during meals as well. 
They weren't being stingy but rather they believed that everyone should pay for what they had bought. So once they were of legal age, their parents wouldn't bother to give them allowance anymore.

Sugary Scene： 

Suddenly, Wen Xuxu stretched her hand to clutch his wrist and pulled him forcefully. 
Yan Rusheng was caught off guard and he lost his footing. He fell on the bed and then his breathing became sluggish. 
Young Master Yan was afraid that he might lose control of himself and do something to Wen Xuxu... the woman he loathed. So he hastily raised his head. 
But he had barely moved away when Wen Xuxu stretched out her hands and put them around his neck. "Don't leave."

After settling little feather's matter, Dongfang Mo and mu ru comforted little feather for a while before bidding farewell to the teacher and principal.

Just as they reached the entrance of the kindergarten, they happened to meet Qiu Shaoxiong's mother. When she saw Dongfang Mo, she instinctively moved aside. From this, one could see the fear and fear she had for Dongfang Mo deep in her heart.

Mu Ru saw that he had already opened the car door and could only follow him into his car. When he opened the car, she asked in a low voice, "Um, why did you rush to the kindergarten? "

"My secretary told me, " Dongfang Mo said truthfully. "I guess the kindergarten called you first but couldn't get through. Then, they called me, but I didn't receive it. They were afraid that I wouldn't be able to make it in time, so they probably called you again. "

When Mu ru heard Dongfang Mo's words, she immediately remembered that she had indeed called Pu Zhihui before she received the call from the kindergarten. It was probably at that time that the kindergarten called her for the first time.

"where... are you taking me? " Mu Ru saw that he wasn't directly driving back to one inch mo city, so she couldn't help but look out of the window and ask ...
"It's noon. Let's find a place to eat first. " Dongfang Mo turned to look at her and said softly, "go to my office in the afternoon to rest. After I get off work, we'll go to the bookstore to buy pregnant women's books. "

"Buy Pregnant Women's books? " Mu Ru frowned and said, "I remember seven years ago when Mu Xue was pregnant, didn't she buy a lot of pregnant women's books? "

"those were lost a long time ago, " Dongfang Mo said nonchalantly. "anything she used, after she left one inch ink city, I cleaned it all up. "

Mu Ru fell silent when she heard that. Dongfang Mo was indeed a ruthless person. He had clearly liked Xi Muxue in the past. Even though what he said was wrong, in the end... ...

She could not help but sigh when she thought of this. Dongfang Mo's heart was actually hard to read. She could not help but think that if she offended him, would she end up worse than Mu Xue back then?

Hence, she said carefully, "well, Dongfang Mo, if, I'm talking about if, one day, I accidentally anger you, will you treat me like you did Xi Muxue? "

Dongfang mo raised his eyebrows and looked at her from the side. He said in a deep voice, "do you think you haven't angered me enough? "

Mu Ru was stunned and immediately stopped talking. Dongfang Mo was telling the truth. It seemed that she had angered Dongfang Mo many times more than Xi Muxue, right?

The rest of the time, the car fell into silence. Mu Ru felt a little bored and wanted to press the CD to listen to the music, but Dongfang Mo stopped the car at that moment.

When she got out of the car and looked up, she immediately saw the words 'calcium bone soup restaurant' . She was stunned. Dongfang Mo had already gotten out of the car from the other side.

"Let's go. I've already asked my secretary to reserve a seat. " Dongfang Mo came over and grabbed her waist, walking towards the entrance of the calcium bone soup restaurant with her.

However, just as they reached the entrance, they bumped into the person walking out. Mu Ru felt that the person looked familiar and before she could react, the person was already calling her with a smile. "Xi Muru, how have you been? "

Only then did mu ru react. It turned out that this person was Nangong Xun who kidnapped her and Kuang Yingying six years ago. In the blink of an eye, six years had passed. Nangong Xun did not look old, but he looked more mature and steady.

"She is my wife, " Dongfang Mo interrupted Mu ru and said coldly, "Mr. Nangong, the next time you see her, remember to call her Madam Dongfang! "

Five years ago, she replaced her twin sister to marry him who was burned beyond recognition and even became a eunuch. Five years later, when they met again, he pressed her against the wall in the corner A low voice sounded with doubt. "Is your daughter mine? " The corners of her mouth curled into a sneer. "Are you sure you have the ability to do that? " His originally cold face instantly turned into the darkness before the storm His voice was fierce and low as he growled, "woman, you are challenging me! "

"Mange, come on! Hahaha, laugh to me! This is really evil and evil!"

Lan Lingyu's burst of laughter made Shen Zi'an frown when she just came out of the bathroom.

"Please, can you laugh a little softer? Not a lady at all. Not only are you old, but your quality is not good. No wonder you can't marry at 28!

Shen Zi'an's words stimulated Lan Lingyu again.

"Scary boy, what are you talking about? You say it again, believe it or not, the old lady smokes you."

Lan Lingyu rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, like a big sister.

Shen Zian looked at her very contemptuously and walked directly towards Shen Mange, but immediately changed her face.

"Mommy, I'll just clean it up. You can sit in the living room and have a rest."


Shen Zi'an rolled up her sleeves and brought out the food prepared by Shen Mange, and also actively arranged the chopsticks.

Seeing Shen Zi'an being so sensible, Lan Lingyu's momentum suddenly softened.

"Stinky boy, for your filial duty, I won't care about you."

"Old woman, people who eat rice empty-handed don't even understand the truth of helping, are you really a teacher?"

Shen Zi'an stimulated Lan Lingyu again.

"You figure it out, this is my home!"

"We give you room money, do you give us money?"

Shen Zian gave Lan Lingyu a contemptuous glance, and the angry Lan Lingyu choked directly.

Seeing Shen Zian like this, Shen Mange coughed and said, "Zi An, can't talk to Auntie Lan like this. You have to know, you have to study under her. How can you not respect the teacher?"

Shen Zi'an's face collapsed instantly.

He really didn't want to follow Lan Lingyu, but when he thought of Ye Rui and Ye Nanxian, Shen Zi'an was silent again.

As soon as Lan Lingyu heard that Shen Zi'an was going to study in her kindergarten, the spirit came.

"Mange, did you really let him come to our kindergarten?"

"Well, Zi An needs to go to kindergarten. I also have to work and can't accompany him at home. I heard that the kindergarten you are working in is very good, and this will trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Lan Lingyu grinned, but Shen Zian sneered contemptuously without speaking.

"Oh, what are you laughing at?"

Shen Mange asked casually after putting all the food on the table.

Lan Lingyu remembered the news he had just read.

She hurriedly handed the phone to Shen Mange, and she laughed particularly hard.

"Mange, you see, Ye Nanxian was actually peeed by a child. Hahahaha, it's so relieved. This scum man was finally cleaned up."

Lan Lingyu's words made Shen Mange take a subconscious look.

In the video, a little boy **** his face towards Ye Nanxian, but the boy's face was not clear, but Ye Nanxian's face was clear, especially Ye Nanxian's violently corrupted appearance was even more clear.

Shen Mange naturally recognized who the little boy above was, and she couldn't help but glance at Shen Zi'an.

Shen Zian quickly lowered his head.

Lan Lingyu suddenly screamed.

"Hey, stinky boy, will this kid be you? Your clothes are exactly the same! I go, I can't see it, your guy's guy is quite big."

This sentence directly made Shen Zian blush to the root of his neck.

"Old woman, old rogue!"

He got up suddenly and ran straight back to the room.

Missed strategy!

Why did you sell your most private place?

Seeing Shen Zi'an's reaction, Shen Mange saw Lan Lingyu's back and forth smiling, his eyes slipping helplessly.

Although she didn't know why Shen Zi'an targeted Ye Nanxian, Shen Mange was still happy with the result.

It 's okay to be peeed by your own son, right? However, with Ye Nanxian's personality, it is estimated to be mad.

"Mange, who said you are so boring, did you post this video online?"

Lan Lingyu asked casually, and Shen Mange shook his head and said, "No matter who it is, they are very relieved."

"That's right, that scum man met a stinky boy. If I were, I would splash sulfuric acid on his face. By the way, he and Chu Mengxi's son Ye Rui were also in our kindergarten, you are sure to let the stinky boy Study in the past? "

Shen Mange's hand suddenly paused.

Their son ...

Shen Mange took a deep breath and said lightly: "Zi'an is not a master who can let himself lose money, rest assured."

"Well, I admit this."

Lan Lingyu and Shen Mange continued to pull their skins, but Ye Nanxian was almost mad in the office.

Who put it online?

"Does the company raise those who deal with public relations let them eat rice? This kind of video is spread to the Internet, what are they doing?"

Ye Nanxian threw the phone in front of him directly on Song Tao's face.

Song Tao's cold sweat.

He also discovered this video, and the video was already circulating when he wanted to stop it.

"Mr. Ye, we are also rescuing, but the other party seems to have added a Trojan horse program. We have got a virus in the computer. The technician is currently repairing. I was thinking, did we offend anyone? Someone deliberately adjusted us.

Song Tao's words made Ye Nanxian's eyes suddenly squint.

Could it be that someone did something against him?

A great fire burned away the entirety of Shen Mange’s love for Ye Nanxian. Five years later, she made a dazzling comeback, determined to bring justice for her younger self. Yet they never thought that the cute little boy she bought back with her would be craftier than her.

The precious child stood before Ye Nanxian innocently spoke, “Uncle, can you do me a favor? Please.” Ye Nanxian felt that he was incapable of withstanding this child’s pleading, so he crouched down- intending to help, but he couldn’t imagine he would be sneezed on instead.

One day, Ye Nanxian told the cute little boy, “Little rascal, this is my room!”

“But I want to sleep with mommy, we’ve been sleeping together for five years already.”

A husband’s tears…

He was supposed to just bring his wife back home, so why is it that his son is being so difficult?

In a room filled with sunlight, a bird chirped on an air conditioner compressor.
The cell phone on a table by the bed emitted a shrill alarm. The time was 8 am.
A pale hand grabbed the phone and turned off the alarm.
A person sat up on the bed, their face obscured by the blinding sunlight.
The man put the cell phone back on the table, got up, and walked out.
Time passed, and a person came in and walked to a gaming capsule. He opened it and got in.
When the capsule door was closed, it was quiet. The capsule hummed to life, and his awareness slipped into the game world.
[ID: Dragonborn (Gnome)]
[Dungeon Reputation Level: 4]

"Hoo…"
Dragonborn opened his eyes and inhaled deeply. There were various mixed sounds.
"Are you online? TakeASpearHit hasn't arrived yet."
Dragonborn sat up and saw a Houndhead Man whose back was facing him. He was SealHeadLingChong.
SealHeadLingChong's Pauldron was completely destroyed, and his right arm was dangling, a dirty bandage wrapped around his shoulders. He was injured by a comrade with a Hammer while fighting the Ogres a few days ago.
SealHeadLingChong didn't have to go after that comrade as his head was crushed by an Ogre's Mace. That comrade was revived in Eternal Kingdom.
"Is your shoulder alright? Is it painful?" Dragonborn asked and felt it was strange. SealHeadLingChong turned his head, and they were dumbstruck. Then both of them laughed. 
"Gosh, the game is so realistic that I'm disoriented. I adjusted the pain threshold, and the shoulder pain is killing me. Don't you think it's painful? It's really cool to be injured and have your companions worry in the game…" SealHeadLingChong said thoughtfully as he shook his head.
Dragonborn nodded in agreement. They were in awe of the game and its incredible realism.
This was the reason they marched for three days, shouted for help in the forum, and made a few phone calls that made hundreds of gamers wake up at midnight to get online.
To them, it was their second life in an alternate reality.
Dragonborn stood up. In reality, he had to brush his teeth, wash up, and eat breakfast. However, in the game world, he didn't have to do all of that, though he still had to eat. 
After sleeping for a night, the first thing to do was eat some clay.
Dragonborn didn't have any clay in his backpack. The existence of the Guild allowed gamers to help each other.
Before they set off for the mission, Dragonborn had assigned the Guild members to prepare a cauldron and fire-making materials. They were to be used now.
After the cauldron was lit, they obtained nearby underground water and clay. After cooking it with a special technique, the clay could be eaten.
The breakfast was ready early in the morning.
The Goblin in charge of breakfast for Springfield Flower Kindergarten was still a Goblin after a few months. His combat skill was horrible. 
There were such gamers who weren't specialized in combat. No matter how they learned, they couldn't fight. Considering everyone had the same body, the biggest reason was attitude. The only difference was the combat technique itself.
Some gamers panicked when they held a weapon. How could they be good at fighting?
They were most likely life connoisseur gamers, like scientists. Or they could learn how to create Bladder Bombs and gather research and knowledge to become a Sacred Knight from Hemp Rope Technology.
Everybody had witnessed the Power of Sacred Light. Of course, the requirements were good learning results and passing the Sacred Light examination.
Dragonborn wasn't chosen for this path. Most of the gamers weren't chosen for this path.
The gamers and 30 of the Orcs set up camp at a natural cave.
Apple was familiar with the terrain, which was desolate. There was clay, water, and even fluorescent grass. This was a suitable campsite.
The cave was large enough to accommodate 300 of them.
TakeASpearHit awoke. Everyone got online punctually at 8 am. SealHeadLingChong was a professional gamer, so he was online early.
The three of them, together with the Springfield Flower Kindergarten Guild members, had breakfast. Then a few of the members stayed back to clear the fire and the cauldron. 
Dragonborn took TakeASpearHit and the wounded SealHeadLingChong to the gamers' meeting.
The meeting consisted of a few Guild chairpersons and management. They discussed their next move.
During the two days after defeating the Ogres, several of these meetings were held.
The battle with the Ogres caused more than 300 casualties. They had to manage the remaining 300 warriors carefully. For those who survived the battle with the Ogres, they were capable Guild members. 
Without capability and persistence, they wouldn't have survived until now.
Dragonborn arrived at a cleared empty space where many Guild members had gathered. They were from various Guilds, such as Dragon Raja, the Meat Vegetable Rice Alliance, CoolBreezeButtocks, MumSaysNoLongNamesOtherwisePeopleCanSeeEvenIfYouHideBehindRocks, the SherlieHubbyHelpSociety, and the Pioneer Alliance. 
"Dragonborn is here."
NotWearingPants was the MC. When he saw Dragonborn, he led Dragonborn to an empty spot.
Dragonborn saw Sylvanas, Peasant, and Arthur. BurningChestHair was missing.
Bro ChestHair must have revived in Eternal Kingdom… Dragonborn thought.

When you spend too much time inside your own head, you get to know yourself better. However, what you think and what you feel gains strength. This wouldn't normally be something to worry about. But for Liam, this was a life-or-death problem. He was a lonely guy, so to speak, which meant that he spent a lot of time inside his mind, thinking and questioning himself more than an eighteen-year-old guy normally would. His mom had always been sure that his brain was different; it was special. He had what scientists call eidetic memory. The ability to recall an image in a brief period of time by seeing it only once. In summary, he was scientifically unable to forget. And this was the problem.
            You're emotionally attached to your memories through feelings. The more you remember about something, the stronger is the emotional bond you get with that event. And for someone who could remember even my credit card number by just seeing it with the corner of his eye once, you already can imagine how his feelings toward past relationships were. 
            From the girl who first held his hand in kindergarten to the one who took his virginity. He was able of recalling every single moment with all of them. And every single breakup too. That's how he became a lonely guy. His phone only ringed for three single reasons. To wake him up, to notify him about the newest book in the library or when his best and only friend texted him. And even though you can think that having only one friend is sad, to Liam this was more than enough. Alina was what you could call a sunshine tornado. She brought happiness wherever she went and was always encouraging Liam to get out of his comfort zone, despite she didn't get the same treatment from him. But positivity from friends wasn't something Alina actually cared that much about. Not as much as Liam, to be honest.
            So, there he was, standing next to a bookshelf arranging novels from the thriller section. The own smell from the environment brought a feeling of ancientness with a bit of calm, similar to that mix between paper and dust. Held between his hands, there was an expensive collector's edition of 11/22/63 by Stephen King. It was wrapped by a thin plastic coverage that meant the book was new. Each of its 849 pages had been just printed and had never been touched by any human's hand. This sort of virginity was something Liam found attractive in a book. He had never seen that in a girl. It was something he desired. Someone whose first love was him. He caught himself thinking about something that childish when he realized it was almost time to close the store. It was Wednesday, so he had to stay late cleaning the second floor and placing all the new stock that had just arrived. 
            The store wasn't that big but still was big for a bookstore. The entrance had a door made out of wood with small glass windows that allowed the outsiders to look at what was inside until something caught their attention. A small bell ringed every single time a customer entered or exited the store. It was a sound that Liam found particularly annoying since it meant that he would have to leave whatever book he was reading to help his customer to find the latest manga that we all know was already leaked online for free.
On the first floor of it, you could find all kinds of pocketbooks, comics, manga, and even magazines. It was what Liam liked to call The Adds Floor. Several shelves, posters, and advertisements were placed here and there, along with the cash register, which Liam hated to manage when he had to, despite it was impressively easy to him —which probably was why he thought it was boring—. This is the floor that people like you and I would normally visit, looking for the newest novel of our favorite writer, or for the last volume of some comic that we like. However, it wasn't the floor Liam liked the most; both because it was very visited and its content wasn't really constructive to him. 
All the surface of the first and the second floor was covered by a dark grey carpet, which was soft enough to mitigate the sounds of nearby footsteps. Deep inside the first floor, on the right side of the store, were these almost unnoticeable snail stairs, made of black iron that, mixed with the darkness of the area and the mahogany of the walls, seemed to be hidden in purpose. Next to them, there was a small sign that claimed:
 
COLLECTOR'S EDITIONS UPSTAIRS
---->
 
            The second floor was Liam's sanctuary. Literally, nobody went there. The place was certainly nicer than the first floor. It was calm, silent —even for a bookstore— and had several seats and cozy couches where you could sit to enjoy your favorite books. White shelves with glass stands were the home of the most expensive novels from the store. A large balcony with a wood railing at the edge of it shined with the light that entered the room from the huge picture windows with a nice, gold, and gothic design on their border. When you first walked upstairs, your feet noticed a softer surface beneath them. The carpet from the second floor was less used, which was as soft as it used to be when it was new. On the left side, close to the railing, were three white leather poufs around a low glass table with several books over it —pocketbooks, obviously—. Deep inside it were thirteen shelves right next to the wood walls. Each of them full of hardcovered books organized by genre —apart from the classics, that were all on a gold shelve right in the middle—. One of those shelves hid the door to enter the employees' room —which was most of the time only visited by Liam since the rest of his coworkers didn't even know about its existence—. On the right side of the second floor, was a big circled glass table with 6 chairs around it. It was something that Liam liked to call Arthur's Table. Knights were never close to use it, though. It was something so expensive that just Liam had the owner's permission to study there after the store closed.
            In summary, it was nothing but a perfect and sacred literary space. Somewhere where you could read as much as you wanted because for sure you would never be bothered —or at least that's what Liam thought—. The only problem was that, to gain access to that floor —according to the rules that the old owner had established almost two decades ago— you had to buy at least one collector's edition of any book from their stock. The only condition was that it had to be a collector's edition; those were the most expensive books in the store, and clearly had fewer sales than the rest since just book maniacs or actual collectors bought them. This is why you can imagine how weird it was to see this smiley teenage girl with colorful clothes and curly pink hair walking upstairs.
            Alina wasn't exactly a book fan. However, her mother did was. She went there because she wanted a collector's edition of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen as a present for her mother. It wasn't an expensive gift, to be honest. Paying 50 bucks for a hardcover collector's edition was a very good deal for anybody. However, Liam didn't quite like Alina's choice when he first met her on that second floor. But he was obliged —by contract— to agree with everything she said about the book since the moment she walked inside the store. 
            —I'm looking for the collector's edition of Pride and Prejudice.
            —I see… —he replied with a sigh— You can find it in the classics section. It's that gold shelf over there.
            —What's wrong? —she asked.
            —Nothing. What do you mean?
            —You sighed at me. Why?
            —Don't mind me, I just didn't think you actually were a fan of Jane Austen.
            —Are you even allowed to use sarcasm with a client about a book that's selling in the store where you work?
            —Oh sorry, that's not what I meant.
            —No, no. Don't worry! —she said, almost laughing��. It's not for me, anyway. You're honest, I like that. The book is actually for my mother's birthday. I would normally just stay on the first floor looking for romance books or manga.
            —I hope you didn't get a bad first impression of the second floor. I tend to be the only one here —he said while putting the new collector's edition inside a plastic bag for her—, you can pay for it on the first floor. And this card allows you to stay on this floor as much as you want without needing to buy another collector's edition.
            —Thank you! And don't worry. It's the first time I found someone of my age inside a place like this. I'll make sure I visit this floor more often. I'm Alina, by the way. 
            —Nice to meet you, Alina. I'm Liam —he said with a short smile upon his face, repeating that new mantra that he promised himself to think about whenever he forgot that he had to avoid catching even the slightest feeling.
            —Nice to meet you too, Liam. I hope to see you around soon again.

After being heartbroken more times than your fingers can count, Liam finally gives up and starts thinking about a way to avoid falling in love again. The only problem, his girl best-friend won't make it easy for him.

Rainy played with her own tiny fingers. Yes, she didn't want Granny; she only wanted Mommy. That child had Granny, but she didn't have Mommy to fetch her. Therefore, Rainy was still more blissful than her. At this point of thought, Rainy hugged her mother's neck tightly.
"Rainy loves Mommy the most."
Xia Ruoxin stopped walking again and gave Rainy a peck on her cheeks. "Yes, Mommy loves Rainy, too."
"Does Mommy love Daddy, too?" Rainy asked in confusion. She wanted to count in Gao Yi because Rainy loves Daddy, too.
Xia Ruoxin froze for a while before smiling and flicking Rainy's forehead gently. "Yup, Mommy loves Rainy. Mommy also loves Rainy's Daddy."
Rainy gave a silly smile, with her lips arching very upwards.
When they reached home, Gao Yi was already waiting. He immediately took Rainy from Xia Ruoxin's arms. It had been a day since they met. He missed his little princess so much.
"Daddy's little angel, did you miss Daddy?" He lifted Rainy up, but Rainy wasn't scared at all. Giggles and laughter occasionally could be heard. Xia Ruoxin lifted the pot and placed the sliced fish inside it. Today's fish was big and enough for the whole family to eat.
Outside, Rainy sat on Gao Yi's thighs, recounting the happenings in the kindergarten and the child that she didn't like.
"She snatched Rainy's doll; Rainy doesn't like her." Rainy would not tell her mother all these, but she would tell her father.
"Then what did Rainy do?" Gao Yi lightly tapped Rainy's chubby cheeks. Her chubby cheeks were cute and really made one feel like pinching it. This child was indeed very easy to fall in love with.
"Rainy went to play with other dolls," Rainy said while pouting, "but she was very mean, stepping on Rainy's shoes," She paused here, with her facial expression becoming glum. Gao Yi knew that he could not blame Rainy, for Rainy hated other people stepping on her in daily life. Sometimes, when other people wanted to touch her legs, it wasn't even likely—not to even mention stepping on her legs.
This girl's personality was so much like her mother, especially in the aspect of being shy and not having too much guts. However, she was also stubborn and not too easy to persuade, and this point was what she took after that man. Indeed, sometimes, blood ties were a strange thing and something that one couldn't deny. 
Although he saved Rainy and stayed by her side every day, her vibes were of that man. Regardless, even if he didn't have the blood relations with her, he would still raise Rainy as if she was his own biological child, loving her and protecting her.
"Daddy…" Rainy tugged at Gao Yi's clothes. "Why isn't Daddy speaking? Are you ignoring Rainy?"
Gao Yi pinched the child's cheeks. "Daddy is thinking of how much he loves Rainy."
Rainy happily rubbed Gao Yi's face. "Rainy loves Daddy, too. Mommy loves Daddy, too."
This line made Gao Yi freeze and made Xia Ruoxin who just exited the kitchen awkward, too. She didn't know what to say. She didn't expect Rainy to remember what she just said… although she did mean it from the bottom of her heart.
When she lifted her head, she made eye contact with Gao Yi's eyes which was filled with warmth. That warmness floated into her own heart as well. At that moment, she felt her eyes slightly widen. She thought, this should be love.
She walked over, placing the fish slices dish onto the table.
"Daddy and Rainy, come over and eat."
This sentence of hers made her own heart pitter and patter with happiness. Indeed, Daddy and Rainy… Daddy and Rainy! She finally gave Rainy a father. She knows that while Rainy had a mother, Rainy also needed a father; and given a choice, Xia Ruoxin would choose Gao Yi.
"Mommy, eat the fish." Rainy pointed at the big plate, hungrily wiping her own tiny lips with her equally tiny hands.
Gao Yi pinched her cheeks. "Eat more and grow faster."
"Will I grow taller than her?" Rainy lifted her face, blinking her pair of large and bright eyes.
"Who is this 'her' that Rainy is speaking about?" Gao Yi brought Rainy into his embrace while asking Xia Ruoxin. Who is this 'her', and why did Rainy continuously mention 'her'?
"A friend from kindergarten, I guess?" Xia Ruoxin removed the bones from the fish skillfully while her own daughter went to scoop rice.
"Rainy made a friend?" Gao Yi rubbed Rainy's brain, feeling some sense of accomplishment at his daughter's achievement.
"No." Rainy lifted her face from the bowl to pout before continuing to have her meal. Her face was full of rice grains, and with her soft voice, her parents didn't hear anything.
Finishing a bowl of rice, she went to watch cartoons. However, this child was actually used to multitasking: on one hand, watching cartoons on television; and on the other, reading the book that Gao Yi bought for her.
The book comprised of mainly drawings and some simple words, and Rainy could understand a few. In the past, Xia Ruoxin taught her some words at home. Although she didn't recognize many words, it was no issue for the simpler books like this one.
"Daddy, I'm done." Rainy placed the book in her hands down. Yet another book was finished.
Gao Yi walked over. "You finished the book?" He took Rainy's book, casually flipping through some pages. He thought to himself, this child read quite fast. It was only a few days, and the bookseller had mentioned that a child could take at least half a month to read a book.
"Tomorrow, Daddy will buy a few more for you." He thought that he would buy some more books tomorrow when he passed by the book store.
"Thank you, Daddy." Rainy sat on his knees to kiss Gao Yi's cheeks. Her cute expressions made Gao Yi play with her again.
Over the weekends, Rainy gained the most. She had a few more books, as well as a tracking watch, so that Xia Ruoxin and Gao Yi could know where Rainy was at all times.
In the kindergarten classroom, Chu Xiang was carried into the classroom by the teacher like a princess and was continuously entertained by the teacher. Chu Xiang proudly raised her chin. She had become some sort of celebrity in the kindergarten.
"Children, we'll be collecting the homework."
The teacher clapped her hands. The so-called homework was just to write some simple pinyin[1].
Chu Xiang's face turned red for she hadn't done her homework. All the words looked like bean sprouts, and she didn't even recognize any. How could she have done it?
[1] This is the romanization system for Mandarin.


Her step-sister just died three months ago. Now, she insists on marrying Chu Lui, who is supposed to be her future brother-in-law, the mind behind the Chu Enterprise. The world is sure that she, the new bride-to-be, haa caused her step-sister's death in order to seduce him.

Even her own mother says to her cruelly, "Don't call me 'Mom'. I don't have a daughter as vicious as you."

During their wedding ceremony, her husband-to-be tells her, "I won't kiss you; you disgust me."

All her embarrassment is captured by the numerous cameras present.

He shames her. 'Xia Ruoxin, you went so far just to marry me? I will make your life a living hell.'

And her life indeed becomes a living hell. For his business, he sends her to another man. To right the reputation of his beloved woman, he sends her to company a bunch of men. Later, he marries again, and on his wedding night, she remains in an ice-cold warehouse, giving birth to a girl.

Many years ago, the boy promised, "I'll come back for you when we're older. I'll marry you and make you my little bride."
