Come Here

Lin Huanhuan was already on her skateboard. She held it in one hand and stood there with her head lowered. She looked like a naughty middle school student who was being punished by her form teacher.

Jiang Tong saw that most of the people had left, so she smiled and said, “Come here.”

Lin Huanhuan stood there for a few more seconds, then turned around and walked toward Jiang Tong with small steps. She quickly looked up and glanced at Jiang Tong, then lowered her head and walked slowly toward Jiang Tong. She still lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at Jiang Tong, giving people the feeling that she was a child who had made a mistake.

With one hand in her pocket, Jiang Tong looked down at Lin Huanhuan without saying a word. She looked at Lin Huanhuan with a faint smile on her face. A few seconds later, Lin Huanhuan raised her head carefully and glanced at Jiang Tong. The moment her eyes met Jiang Tong’s, she immediately lowered her head again. In the next ten seconds, she repeatedly peeked at Jiang Tong several times. Every time, she would immediately lower her head after their eyes met. Jiang Tong still looked at her with a subtle expression and did not say a word.

A few drops of tears fell to the ground. Lin Huanhuan started crying, sobbing, and then crying out loud. Although she was crying very softly, it could still be heard clearly.

“Pa!” Lin Huanhuan let go of the skateboard and it fell to the ground. She rubbed the back of her hand against the corner of her eye and couldn’t stop her tears from falling. She cried so hard that her shoulders were shaking. She looked so pitiful.

“Why are you crying?” Jiang Tong looked at Lin Huanhuan and asked.

“Teacher, I’m sorry… Teacher…” Lin Huanhuan said as she cried.

“Sorry for what?” Jiang Tong leaned forward slightly and looked at Lin Huanhuan’s face. “I haven’t even said anything, and you’re already crying like this. Are you really crying or not?” Jiang Tong laughed after saying that, and her tone was relaxed and teasing.

“Teacher, I just wanted to get the recording back. I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Lin Huanhuan cried even more pitifully. She could not stop her tears.

“Then you’re very bad. In order to get back the recording, you brought so many people here and even wanted to beat up your teacher. Lin Huanhuan, you’re a bad kid,” Jiang Tong said as she stood up straight.

“Teacher, I’m not a bad kid… I’m not…” Lin Huanhuan said as she took a few steps forward and tugged at the corner of Jiang Tong’s clothes. She dared to look at Jiang Tong. She raised her head slightly and said that she was not a bad kid. Her little face was covered in tears, and she was very afraid now.

“Aren’t you?” Jiang Tong asked Lin Huanhuan.

“I’m not… no,” Lin Huanhuan shook her head as she cried.

Jiang Tong asked a few more times, and Lin Huanhuan shook her head even more anxiously to deny that she was a bad kid.

“Alright, Huanhuan is not a bad kid,” Jiang Tong smiled as if she was convinced by Lin Huanhuan. Then, she said, “A good child who knows her mistakes and can change is a good child.”

Lin Huanhuan’s mood improved, but she pulled on Jiang Tong’s clothes and sobbed, “Teacher, don’t be angry with me, okay?”

“Why do you think that I’m magnanimous enough to not argue with you? After all, I was the one who was surrounded by a group of people. I was really shocked,” Jiang Tong replied with a smile.

“Teacher, can you forgive me? I know that I’m wrong. I’m sorry, Teacher. Please don’t be angry,” Lin Huanhuan begged Jiang Tong with a hint of coquettishness.

“I’m not angry… but you have to be obedient, understand?” Jiang Tong said.

“I will be obedient, I will be good,” Lin Huanhuan nodded and promised.

“I’ll believe you for now,” Jiang Tong smiled.

“Then, Teacher… Teacher, you…” Lin Huanhuan seemed to have something to say. She tugged at Jiang Tong’s clothes and looked pitiful. She asked, “Teacher, can you not let my father know what happened today…?” This was what she was most afraid of. If Lin Muyu found out that his daughter had actually found more than a hundred people to beat up her tutor… the consequences would be unimaginable!

“Don’t tell your father?” Jiang Tong repeated and said with a smile, “That will depend on your behavior. Be good, okay?”

“Yes, yes. I’ll be good, I’ll be very good,” Lin Huanhuan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

“Then it’s a deal. Alright, wipe your tears.” Jiang Tong took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Lin Huanhuan.

An hour later, on the other side of the park, Jiang Tong and Lin Huanhuan were sitting on a bench. Lin Huanhuan’s mood had already improved. After the two of them finished talking, they didn’t leave the park. Instead, they walked around the park and chatted.
