5 Sweethearts 5 (2/2)

When He Yue and her husband heard Peach's cries, they hurried over to Peach's house. They had intended to mediate, but when they heard the reason as to why Peach was crying, they did not know whether to laugh or cry themselves.

Professor Shen, Shen Mochen's father, scratched his head and thought about it for a long time. Eventually, he proposed a solution, ”The principal of the kindergarten is on fairly good terms with one of my colleagues. When I go to work tomorrow, I will try to see if I can pull some strings to enroll Peach in the same kindergarten as Mochen. ”

Assured by Professor Shen, Peach finally stopped crying. Drying her tears with a towel, she clambered up to her seat at the dining table to have her dinner. Suddenly, she looked up at Professor Shen and warned, ”Godfather, you must not lie to children.”

Professor Shen chuckled and promised, ”Of course I won't lie to my future daughter-in-law.”

The next day, Peach woke up especially early and left her yard to wait outside Shen Mochen's house. She watched in silence as Professor Shen carried his bicycle and headed out the door for work.

Professor Shen felt helpless as Peach watched on. Turning around and crouching down in front of Peach, he assured her, ”Godfather will do anything he can do, to get you into kindergarten.”

Satisfied with his assurance, Peach moved aside to let him pass.

Initially, the principal of the kindergarten did not agree to Peach attending as he was running a kindergarten, not a nursery. The minimum age to enroll in the kindergarten was three years old, but Peach was only two. However, Professor Shen, with his silver tongue, managed to move and persuade the principal by insisting that Peach was his daughter-in-law. Eventually, the principal reluctantly agreed to allow Peach to join the youngest class.

While that was going on, Shen Mochen was holding a paint brush and drawing intently in his class. As an austere child who did not speak or smile often, Shen Mochen would usually not interact with the other children or sing and dance with the teacher. It made the teacher speculate if he was maybe austistic.

Fortunately, with Peach's arrival, Shen Mochen's teacher was relieved to see that he was a normal child with emotions.

The first day Peach entered kindergarten, she dashed straight over to Shen Mochen's class.
