"You look just like five years ago." Rex touches her neck softly with the tip of his fingers.
He enjoys doing that very much, feeling her delicate skin and the vivid pulse underneath that is beating
wildly for him.
"I am no longer the young and naive Lily anymore. I have changed a lot in the past five years." She
suddenly raises her head to meet his.
Rex rubs her chin back and forth, "Why do you say that? Are you afraid that I don't like you anymore?"
She doesn't answer, but looks at him deeply. After a while she shakes her head, "Whether you like it or
not, this is the real me."
Hearing that, Rex’s smile gets bigger. He does not hide his appreciation and love for her, "I like you no
matter how much you change."
His feelings for her have reached to the point of being unreasonable. He loves her not because of what
she has, who she is.
There is no doubt that he loved the young and naive girl five years ago. Five years later, when she
becomes independent and determined, he still loves her.
She has a kind of charm, gentle and strong. Once he finds it out, he can’t help to put attention on her,
more and more every day.
"Lily," he suddenly calls her playfully. His eyes are drifting on her face, "Look how good you are. You
made me fall in you with all my heart at once."
Before she appears in his life, he doesn’t care about any girl no matter how pretty or good she is.
It's not because he is picky about girls or he doesn’t want any girl. Let alone falling in love, he doesn’t
even have feelings for them. But Lily, only Lily is the right one for him.
Lily gets embarrassed at the beginning. Then she feels him teasing her. She stares at him fiercely, "You
are too narcissistic. There are still many people who like me."
"Really? Who else do you have besides me?"
"..." He is her first love. He asks her such question on purpose.
Lily doesn’t want to talk to him anymore. She bends over to get far from him, then running upstairs. His
laughter behind her is so loud and warm, like the sunshine passing through the clouds, that makes her
feel happy and warm in her heart. She walks even faster, for fear that he will hear her fast heartbeat.
...
Forty minutes later, Lily finishes dressing up. Rex drives them out of the building.
Knowing that he is going to school, Adair is very nervous. He pulls the corners of his clothes anxiously
with his little hands, and at the same time he looks forward to meeting the children at school.
"Mom, what should I say when I see the teacher?"
Lily turns her head seeing how nervous he is, she says softly, "You can say whatever you usually say,
don't be nervous."
"But I haven't been to school for a long time, so I feel a little nervous."
Hearing that, Rex who has never spoken glances in the rearview mirror, "Today we only go to school to
check the environment there, not to have classes. Relax, OK?"
After that, Rex doesn’t pay attention on his son anymore, but instead grabs the soft hand of Lily’s who
sits next to him and drives without talking.
Looking at the holding hands, Adair is not happy at all. He says resentfully, “What are you doing in front
of a child, uncle?"
It seems that Rex doesn't expect that Adair who is so young talks like an adult. Rex is a little surprised,
"What did you say?"
"Why are you holding my mom's hand?" Adair looks at him angrily, as if Rex is taking advantage from
his mom like a big bad guy.
Hearing Adair saying, Lily immediately withdraws her hands in shame. This time Rex doesn't insist to
hold her. Probably he is feeling shy in front of the child as well.
"Just to be fair, we don’t hold hands as well, okay?"
Adair raises his face, and then he reluctantly agrees.
Half an hour later, they arrive to the entrance of the kindergarten. It is a kindergarten approved by the
Ministry of Education for a Chinese-foreign joint school. When they get off the car, there are already
someone waiting there for them. The three of them enters the office building. The head master and the
vice head master are standing at the door and waiting. When Rex walks in the building, they
immediately shake their hands to greet Rex.
A successful businessman, a well-known entrepreneur, these two titles make him getting such warm
welcome no matter where he goes. His child can go to the best kindergarten without any document well
prepared, which shows how powerful and rich he is.
Rex greets with a few people. Then people turn their attention to Lily and the child. The three of them
walks forward together and they know the child is Rex’s son. So it’s not hard to guess who she is. "This
is a child’s mom?"
"Hello. My name is Lily White. this is my son Adair White." Lily introduces very politely.
Hearing so, although the head master doesn't show it on his face, he mutters in his heart.
The child has the same surname as his mother. Looking how powerful Rex is, the child should have
Rex’s surname. How can he follow his mother's surname?
In China, most people with their mother's surname have single mothers or from divorced families. It’s
rare to follow the mother’s surname without a special reason.
However, he is Rex's own son anyway, so of course he can't neglect him.
The head master and the vise head master take three of them to look at the main teaching building and
playground of the campus, including the multi-function hall. They also give a brief introduction of all the
teachers.
When it comes to English foreign teachers, the head master asks with concern, "Mr. Rex, this is the
case. We are teaching bilingual classes here. Adair must be in an upper-level class because of his age.
All the kids in this level already have basic English skills. Did your son learn English before? You are
the father. I am sure you know it the best."
Lily feels startled by his last words, and she looks at Adair subconsciously. But Adair doesn't have any
special reaction, just with a normal expression.
"He lived in the UK before, and English is his second mother tongue. It's no problem at all." Rex says
with pride on his face.
The head master sees how proud he is from Adair, he quickly agrees, "That is great. Adair’s English
must be really good!"
"Our kindergarten is generally like this. Junior high school is also a direct promotion from us. As you
know, Mr. Rex, there should be no kindergartens that can be better than us in J City. When you have
time, you can apply for admission."
Rex listens quietly, not feeling particularly emotional. Instead he turns his head and asks Lily, "What do
you think?"
Lily doesn’t say much during the whole process. Most of the time, she just listens to them. When he
asks for opinions, she almost doesn't know how to react. "The child's household registration is still in
the UK. Will it affect the procedures?"
"You can send documents here first and let the child adjust to school. After all, he joins the class in the
middle of the semester. It’s better to spend some time with teachers for knowing better with each other.
You can take your time to send the household registration." All the students are from different regions
or cities, which is different from other kindergartens. It’s not strict with where the child lives, but more of
the family conditions and environment.
