10 Sweethearts 10 (2/2)

Shen Mochen glowered at her. Glancing towards her hands that were wrapped around his arm, he hesitated for a moment before letting it slide.

As the sun set, two silhouettes, one larger than the other, could be seen strolling along the lively street, towards their home.

Ever since then, Shen Mochen was tasked with fetching Peach to and from kindergarten.

Whenever Shen Mochen walked out of the alley holding Peach's hands, the old ladies sitting along the alley would look at them with a smile and tease, ”Oh, Chen Chen is going to school with his wife again.”

Every day, Peach would wave and greet them with a broad smile, ”Goodbye Grandma Sun! Goodbye Grandma Li! Goodbye Grandma Song!” At the same time, she would tighten her grip on Shen Mochen's hand and walk straight ahead with a spring in her steps.

Not long after, the rumour that Shen Mochen would fetch his girlfriend to and from school every day, started spreading in Shen Mochen's class.

When the rumour spread, the sound of young girls' hearts shattering could be heard.

Finally, when Shen Mochen was in the second grade, Peach protested against repeating Upper Kindergarten for the third time.

Peach's mother agreed with her, as her daughter was not unintelligent and it was understandable that she would refuse to repeat Upper Kindergarten once more. With a plan in mind, she approached Professor Shen again.

There were certain benefits to having a university professor as an in-law. Coincidentally, that year, the son of the principal of the elementary school took his college entrance examination but did not do exceptionally well. It was uncertain if he could make it into Z University. When Professor Shen learned of the situation, he rushed to the principal 's home. First, he praised Peach for being exceptionally smart and assured the principal that although she was only six years old, she would definitely be able to keep up with the first-grade curriculum. Then, he implicitly hinted to the principal that if Peach could attend elementary school, his son would have no problems being accepted into Z University.

Hence, a deal was made.
