After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 9

Mo Yueshuang put on the sunglasses and mask, holding Ranran’s hand as she walked in front. Li Sheng followed behind them at an unhurried pace.

Li Sheng unconsciously began watching Mo Yueshuang again. Gentle and delicate—even when she suffered humiliation, she could suppress her grievance and continue maintaining a smile.

Li Sheng thought that inside Mo Yueshuang’s heart, there must live a strong little person wearing armor. Whenever Mo Yueshuang felt wronged or sad, that little person in armor would raise its shield, wave its sword, and drive away and cut down all of Mo Yueshuang’s bad emotions one by one, allowing Mo Yueshuang to always face others with gentleness.

Mo Yueshuang was an actress. To put it more nicely, she was a skilled actress with both talent and acting ability, and she was much more sensitive to gazes than ordinary people.

At this moment, she could feel Li Sheng, who was following behind her, staring intensely at her back, making her whole body feel uncomfortable.

It was not that she was unwilling to be stared at. On the contrary, there was even a small, fluttering joy in her heart. But these emotions came quickly and vanished even faster. Before Mo Yueshuang could properly sense those emotions inside her, they disappeared again.

“I’ll lead the way.”

Only after they had all entered the kindergarten gate did Li Sheng quickly step forward and lead them, saying, “We’ll go find the principal first, then take a look at the environment here. If Ranran likes this place, we’ll discuss enrollment.”

This was the school enrollment season. Although this kindergarten’s registration time was three days later, there were already quite a few parents bringing their children over in advance to look at the teaching environment, faculty strength, and so on.

Ranran’s lively black-grape-like eyes wandered curiously over the other parents in the kindergarten.

She saw one child holding both his father’s and mother’s hands. As he walked between them, he sometimes jogged and sometimes jumped, and he would even pull on his parents’ hands as if he were swinging on a swing.

Ranran suddenly looked toward Li Sheng and reached out her hand to her. “Ranran wants Mommy to hold her hand too.”

Holding hands was one of the little daily interactions between this mother and daughter. Without hesitation, Li Sheng walked over and held Li Ran’s other hand, but very soon she felt that something was not quite right.

Many families walked together sweetly and warmly like this, but they were families of three. Now that it had been replaced by her and Mo Yueshuang, no matter how she thought about it, it felt strange.

Mo Yueshuang wanted to let go, but Li Ran was holding her too tightly. After walking for a while, she seemed to adapt to this feeling and relaxed again.

Li Sheng led them to the principal’s office. Before entering, Li Sheng asked Mo Yueshuang, “Do you want to come in too?”

“Mm.”

When Li Sheng asked this, Little Ranran’s gaze had been fixed tightly on Mo Yueshuang, cautious yet carrying hope and longing. Mo Yueshuang had no way to refuse this tiny wish from the little angel.

“Hello, Miss Li.”

The principal was a woman in her forties. She was very warm and enthusiastic in the way she handled people and matters. When she saw Li Sheng, even that big block of ice, Li Sheng, felt her heart warmed a little by her enthusiasm.

“Hello, Principal Zheng. This is my daughter, Li Ran.”

Li Sheng introduced Li Ran to Zheng Fei. Although Li Ran was young, she had traveled all over with Li Sheng. She was not afraid of strangers at all, not to mention that Mommy was currently by her side.

A cheerful smile bloomed on Li Ran’s delicate little face, and she politely greeted Principal Zheng.

Principal Zheng smiled very happily. She liked this clever and spirited child very much. Moreover, she had been running a kindergarten for more than ten years, so she was quite accurate when it came to judging children. After interacting with Li Ran for a while, she could tell that Li Ran was a sensible, well-behaved child who would not make trouble.

“Hello, Little Friend Li Ran! Little Friend Li Ran can call me Principal Auntie.”

“Hello, Principal Auntie~”

“Ai, hello, Ranran. Does Ranran want to come to our Blue Sky Baby Kindergarten to learn, play, and make new friends?”

“Yes~”

Children did not know how to judge people, but like little animals, they had an innate instinct. She knew whether some people approaching her would bring malice.

When she did not feel any emotions from the principal that made her unhappy, Ranran did not reject this Principal Auntie.

“Little Friend Li Ran, shall we go look at the other places in the kindergarten? Principal Auntie will introduce our kindergarten to you.”

Li Ran looked back at Li Sheng. Li Sheng naturally nodded, and only then did Li Ran answer Principal Zheng very happily, “Thank you, Principal Auntie. Let’s go visit now!”

With the principal leading them, the three of them soon walked through more than half of the kindergarten.

Guan Tai was also a child of an influential family. Although he was not particularly favored, the place he introduced was not ordinary. It was said that this kindergarten had the best education quality in the city, frequently won awards, and had the best reputation.

The children here were almost all second- or third-generation rich and powerful.

There were also ordinary people who wanted to send their children here, hoping their children could win at the starting line. But aside from some families with thick foundations who could harden their hearts and bleed money heavily, the others could only look at the high admission fees and even higher miscellaneous learning fees, sigh a few times, and settle for somewhere else.

There were three reasons Li Sheng chose this place.

First, because it was close to the production crew. After she entered the crew, it would be convenient for her to pick up and drop off Ranran at school.

Second, because among the dozen or so kindergarten introduction materials Guan Tai had sent over, Ranran had chosen this one at first glance.

Third, because the faculty here was indeed quite good, and the kindergarten environment was also very nice.

“Here, we cultivate children’s interests and hobbies, including music, fine arts, dance, literature, and so on. There are more than seventy categories. Our goal is to discover and cultivate each child’s shining point. Anything that can interest the child, we will guide and focus on cultivating.”

“This is the graffiti wall. Children can freely write and draw here. Our child psychologists and art cultivation teachers will watch from the side, analyze them, and find your child’s artistic cells.”

“These musical instruments are also open to the children for free. We have specialized teachers watching from the side. Under the condition that the children will not injure themselves or others, they are allowed to express themselves freely. Of course, there are also specialized teachers here to observe and analyze, so we won’t miss any baby’s artistic shining point.”

Li Sheng and Mo Yueshuang both listened very carefully. Li Sheng thought of her previous life. Back then, when the apocalypse came and they had to survive, the base leader had also established this type of academy.

However, their learning carried bloodshed and slaughter, and was only for survival and salvation.

In order to let more people survive, the leader began looking for each person’s strengths. Those with agile and nimble bodies could stay behind to guard the base, or they could cooperate with some “big fellows” to go out and search for supplies.

The abilities of various ability users were also developed and used to the extreme. They would absolutely not allow any ability user’s ability to be wasted.

That leader was an extreme wise man.

Mo Yueshuang had also fallen into her own memories. Ever since she could remember, she had always lived in a farmhouse in a mountain ditch. Above her, there were three older sisters and one older brother. Later, the family added two younger sisters and one younger brother. There were eight siblings in their family. Girls were born with cheap lives. When she could talk and walk, her mother brought her along with her three older sisters to the fields to help with farm work.

Even when her little brother had already gone to elementary school, she still only recognized the three characters of “Mo Yueshuang.”

It was her older brother, who had scored a hundred on an exam and was in a very good mood, who taught her. Her brother wrote down the three characters, pointed at them, and read them once, and she remembered them.

Holding a branch and copying the shapes, she learned them.

When her brother saw that she remembered quickly, he became annoyed. After that, he never taught her again.

It was not until she was twelve years old that a young village official came to the village, along with several university students who came to support rural education. Seeing how pitiful the sisters were, they went to bother her father every day. It was her fortune and also her misfortune. Her eldest sister fell ill and died, and she herself was also very sick.

Her family was afraid that something would happen to her too, so they simply let her go to school. After all, that female teacher had promised half a year earlier that if she went to study, she could live in the school dormitory and return home once a week.

Her family could not wait for her to die outside. That would save them medical expenses and also save them the effort of digging a pit to bury her.

On the day she left, they only stuffed a few overnight cold steamed buns into her hands and told her that once she recovered from her illness, she should come back early to work. A girl sitting in a classroom would be criticized behind her back, and in a few more years, once she was older, she could get married.

She was smart, and she also cherished this hard-won chance to study. She studied desperately day and night.

She remembered only what the teacher told her: knowledge could change fate.

Perhaps the world was abnormal. Perhaps the female lead halo was too powerful. Or perhaps Mo Yueshuang herself was truly heaven-defying.

Four years later, at sixteen years old, she took the high school entrance exam with people her age and actually got into the best high school in the area. Back then, her older brother had failed to get in, and it was only after the family sold a year’s worth of rice and spent money that they allowed him to continue studying.

For the first time in four years, she returned home. She wanted to bring good news to her family, and she also wanted to go home and see whether her family was like what she had learned about in books.

Parents and children shared a blood bond thicker than water. The sacrifices parents made for their children were often things children could not even see half of.

Quite a long time had passed. In her memories from back then, her parents making her do farm work and not letting her study seemed to be nothing much. Every household in the local area was like that, not to mention that several of her older sisters had also gone to work in the fields.

She wrote a letter to the female teacher who had taken her away back then. That female teacher had gone abroad last year. Before leaving, she had repeatedly urged and warned her never to return to her old home. That mountain ditch—if possible, she should never go back there in this lifetime.

She did not understand why the teacher had warned her so much, but that place was still her home. Without waiting for the female teacher’s reply, she packed her things and went back.

In the end, when she returned home, she was first scolded harshly from head to toe. After that, they shut the door and used an iron chain to lock her up.

Only then did she learn that she had been picked up. When she was only a few months old, she had been found on the mountain road. There was a local legend that raising a picked-up baby girl could help a family give birth to a big, fat son.

Afterward, if they let the girl marry the big, fat son, the family line would flourish.

That was how she had been brought back and raised.

It turned out that not long after she left that year, her younger brother had suffered a high fever that damaged his brain. Now, he was silly and foolish, with snot and drool running every day, urinating and defecating anywhere at any time.

Her parents, along with several of her sisters and her brother, had already gone to the school to look for her several years ago. At that time, they were stopped by the female teacher and the principal. The female teacher even paid a sum of money out of her own pocket, telling them to take their son to the city to treat his illness and not come looking for Mo Yueshuang again in the future.

After taking the money, that family did indeed settle down for a while.

Later, they came to make trouble again and wanted more money. It just so happened that at that time, she had entered middle school, so the female teacher took her to study in the city.

That family did not know which city she had gone to, nor which middle school she was attending.

And now, this was just great. Mo Yueshuang had delivered herself to their door.
