Chenchen lay on the edge of the bed, quietly savoring the aftertaste of the music through the faint light.

She was actually very pretty, with a delicate, upturned nose and big, bright eyes under thick eyelashes.

The purple birthmark covering half her cheek wasn’t ugly; instead, it made her look more like a uniquely beautiful doll in a shop window.

Shi Yun tentatively asked, “Chenchen, did you like it?”

Chenchen was still dazed, and caught off guard by hearing her name, she screamed, shouting, “D-Don’t come over, go away, I’m not the ugliest kid…I-I’m not!!!”

She immediately shrank back, disappearing from their sight.

Shi Yun made an apologetic gesture to An Huaixu, lowered himself, and continued to call her softly.

Chenchen was crying pitifully, repeating only the words “go away.”

Shi Yun’s heart clenched, but he couldn’t let Chenchen continue to dwell on the pain, guiding her, “Chenchen heard that song just now, right? Teacher forgot, who was playing it?”

Chenchen didn’t answer, but her crying lessened. Shi Yun was sure she was listening to him, and used questions to encourage her to interact with him, “What was his name? Wei Yu…what?”

He waited patiently for Chenchen.

Chenchen gradually regained her senses, recognized Shi Yun, and choked out in a voice as thin as a mosquito’s, “C-Teacher Shi Yun, it’s Wei Yuchen.”

Shi Yun’s back relaxed.

He smiled gently, “Teacher saw him today, even more handsome than in the posters! Chenchen has such good taste!”

An Huaixu paused his finger tapping, looking at Shi Yun.

Shi Yun was oblivious, continuing,

“He knows he has a little fan here, and specially came to invite you to learn piano with him. Chenchen is the best at piano, wouldn’t you want to learn that song from just now under Brother Yuchen’s guidance, and become a sun like him?”

Chenchen seemed to waver.

Shi Yun didn’t give her much time to react, throwing out a heavy temptation, “Great pianists are very busy, if you don’t come out, he’s going to leave!”

Chenchen was still a child after all.

She couldn’t give up the opportunity to see her beloved idol, and immediately reached out a hand.

But just as she was about to touch Shi Yun, she suddenly seemed to remember something, her feelings of inferiority flared up, and she subconsciously shrank back.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yun moved quickly, reaching through the darkness, piercing the light, and firmly grabbed her.

Chenchen looked up in surprise, hearing a reassuring “Don’t be afraid.”

Then, an external force pulled her out of the mire, and facing the light, she fell straight into a strong embrace.

Warmth gradually returned, her heart beating faster.

She tilted her head, opened her mouth, and before she could speak, tears welled up again.

She hugged Shi Yun tightly, crying silently.

Shi Yun was pressed against the wound, his eyebrows furrowing and then relaxing.

He felt the small body in his arms trembling, and warmth wetting his shoulder.

He felt sorry for the little girl, patting her back gently, without weariness or annoyance, coaxing her.

After a long time, Chenchen choked and laughed as Shi Yun told several vivid jokes.

The big stone in Shi Yun’s heart finally fell to the ground.

He got up, wiped the tears and dirt from the little girl’s face, straightened her hair, fixed the butterfly hairpin, confirmed that she was perfect in every way, and pushed her shoulders, smiling,

“Come on, Chenchen, Teacher didn’t break his promise, I’ve invited your big idol!”

An Huaixu propped his chin on his hand, looking at her.

Shi Yun formally introduced, “An Huaixu, Teacher An, the actor who played Wei Yuchen in ‘Shining Star Rain,’ and is also responsible for the musical instrument courses at Hope Kindergarten. If you have any questions, ask him directly. Teacher An, this is Wang Luchen.”

Chenchen’s face turned as red as an apple, and she shyly greeted him in a low voice.

An Huaixu touched Chenchen’s head.

Chenchen met her idol’s eyes at close range, her hands tightly gripping her skirt, so excited that her hair was about to stand on end.

An Huaixu stared straight at her face.

She seemed to realize something, suddenly lowered her head, her body trembling, her hands fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.

Shi Yun leaned down and whispered to Chenchen, “Whatever you want to say, just say it, there are no bad people here.”

Chenchen mustered her courage and asked hesitantly, “Teacher An, am I very ugly…?”

An Huaixu: “Why do you think that?”

Chenchen said sadly, “Because everyone says so.”

An Huaixu: “Don’t care what others say, you have your own shining points.”

Chenchen looked at him, not quite understanding.

Shi Yun heard that An Huaixu wasn’t being perfunctory at all, and was sincerely comforting the little girl, and a warm current surged in his heart.

Before this, he couldn’t have imagined An Huaixu patiently taking care of children with a cold face, but now, he didn’t need to imagine, he had already seen it with his own eyes.

However, An Huaixu’s patience was still limited. After saying a few words, he directly threw the follow-up work to Shi Yun.

Shi Yun gave a few easy-to-understand examples, “Chenchen, you have to know, although the turtle is slow, it has a hard shell. Although the bird is small, it can fly in the sky…”

Shi Yun picked up Chenchen and walked to the window, the moonlight shining on their faces.

He continued, “…These are their shining points. So, there is no perfect thing in the world, you have to learn to discover the advantages and accept the disadvantages. What’s wrong with a birthmark? A birthmark is also unique! Besides, when it comes to skills, can anyone compare to your music?!”

Chenchen stared at the stars, thinking. The shimmering light fell in her eyes, making them even more bright.

With Shi Yun’s comfort and communication, Chenchen was willing to continue cooperating with the filming, but she was still timid.

Grandpa Chen stroked her back, raised his hand, pointed at An Huaixu, made a ‘you like’ gesture, and put his hand on her shoulder, leading her into the camera’s frame.

Chenchen was very afraid of the camera, standing on the edge, afraid to get close.

Shi Yun noticed this and squatted next to the camera, waving to her with a bright smile.

Chenchen paused, bit her lip, and took a few steps forward, tugging on Grandpa Chen.

An Huaixu, as usual, handed over the school invitation and the blue uniform, “Welcome.”

Chenchen took it nervously, thanking him weakly.

Just when everyone thought this segment was finally a perfect success, An Shuqi asked curiously, “Sister, what’s that on your face?”

Chenchen froze, the atmosphere solidified.

She subconsciously sought help from Shi Yun, “Teacher…”

Unexpectedly, before Shi Yun had a chance to gesture, An Huaixu spoke, “Don’t be afraid.”

Grandpa Chen agreed.

Shi Yun immediately swallowed the thousands of words back into his throat.

He thought that for Chenchen, the mental support An Huaixu and the spiritual support Chen Grandpa were the strongest reassurance.

He didn’t offer any unnecessary comfort, just gave a thumbs up.

Chenchen took a deep breath, made up her mind, and faced the nightmare.

She explained unnaturally, “This, this is my, my unique mark!”

An Shuqi exclaimed, “So cool!”

He admired Chenchen very much, and his methods of asking questions were pure and lovely.

Chenchen gradually relaxed, revealing a rare liveliness.

Shi Yun and Grandpa Chen smiled at each other, both understanding the relief in each other’s eyes.

Ten minutes later, Chenchen and An Shuqi were already chatting about everything under the sun.

An Huaixu, who washed his hands of the task once completed, was disturbed by the noise, and walked outside with a lollipop in his mouth.

Shi Yun’s wound was hurting again, and he originally intended to go out to get some fresh air, but as soon as he came out, he smelled a familiar medicinal scent.

An Huaixu glared at him with an unkind expression.

Shi Yun was stunned, his brain gears slowly turning, wanting to say something but stopping himself several times.

An Huaixu didn’t stand on ceremony, “If you have something to say, just say it.”

Shi Yun stepped forward and handed over a piece of Eternal milk candy, “Thank you for today.”

An Huaixu looked at the candy and blurted out, “Are you doing this on purpose?”

Shi Yun was puzzled, “What?”

An Huaixu stared at him, and when he really couldn’t find a trace of guilt in his eyes, he suppressed the nameless fire, “Coaxing a child? I wasn’t helping you.”

Shi Yun glanced at the cameraman who was filming inside the house, and took small steps to An Huaixu’s side.

An Huaixu stiffened. In his cloudy eyes, the person’s figure got closer and closer, until a grassy scent wrapped around his nose, and he quickly leaned back, a look of disgust rising in his eyes.

Shi Yun said at this time,

“You hit someone, this will definitely have a negative impact on you. If someone says something about you, you…you can just push me out, anyway, I don’t really look at the internet, it doesn’t matter what they say about me!”

An Huaixu frowned, his gaze lingering on his opening and closing pale lips.

He thought—

It’s always this routine, pretending to care about me, and then taking advantage of my trust…

I don’t know who sent you this time, but even if you do a good and perfect job with your identity, it’s still full of loopholes.

An Huaixu basely raised his hand and trapped him between the wooden railing and himself, saying fiercely, “Why are you so nosy?”

Shi Yun was stunned, looking at him fixedly, “…”

An Huaixu: “Who told you I hit someone? Instead of wasting time thinking about these useless things, you should get your head checked. Let me advise you, stay away from me in the future.”

Shi Yun didn’t expect him to be angry, “I…”

An Huaixu ignored him, “An Shuqi, let’s go!”

***

Inside the kindergarten.

Director Zhang took out six pictures of houses and placed them on the table.

Pin Chi completed the task first, and while getting +1 assessment points, he got the first choice.

He didn’t hesitate and directly took the relatively luxurious two-story building.

Weizi Yu’s was a balcony room with beautiful scenery near the flowerbed.

Qi Guang liked quiet and chose a bamboo forest cabin halfway up the mountain.

Jiang Song lived in the center of the village, next to the most lively market.

Qiao Yu looked at the remaining two rooms, hesitating for a moment.

Qiao Li pointed to a picture with a swing, “I want to play!”

In the end, An Huaixu, who came in last, not only had a point deducted, but also unsurprisingly got the most dilapidated little bungalow.

Everyone began to discuss their task experiences, and Weizi Yu’s description was so funny that everyone laughed.

The last glimpse Shi Yun saw before going to the infirmary was that in the lively filming location, only An Huaixu was sitting quietly on the chair.

Shi Yun thought that making An Huaixu angry was the worst thing that could happen now, but what he didn’t expect was that after bandaging his wound, the doctor’s words directly caused his heart rate to skyrocket to 180.
