You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 765 A Fight In The Kindergarten

As soon as classes ended in the Star Kindergarten, Van and Don could be seen carrying their schoolbags together with Eileen and Kian.

Kian was wearing new clothes and a new schoolbag today. He was swaggering along the way.

But since he was chubby, it just made him look silly. In fact, his ostentatious walk made him look like a waddling duck.

He had been showing off the whole day. He didn't even let anyone come near enough to touch his schoolbag.

And since Van, Don, and Eileen were his friends, he allowed them to touch it.

Don wasn't at all pleased with how his friend was behaving. So he tried to keep his distance from him, quietly stepping back as they walked.

Van walked beside his brother. Upon noticing the siblings' reaction, Eileen slowed down her steps as well. In the end, Kian was the only one walking ahead of their little group.

Meanwhile, the other students were gossiping among themselves.

"The schoolbag doesn't even look that great. Humph. It's nothing special actually."

"Yes. I can just ask my parents to buy me one, too."

"He's so annoying. Who does he think he is?"

Upon hearing that, Don was worried for Kian and asked, "Aren't you worried that someone will beat you up because of how arrogant you're acting?"

"Why would I be afraid since you're here with me?" Kian turned around and realized that all his friends had fallen behind him. He walked back towards them and complained, "You are so slow."

Putting on his best adult impression, Don put his hand on Kian's shoulder and looked at him earnestly in the eyes, "Let me tell you this, Kian. Children like us shouldn't show...What was it again, Van?"

Whenever Don seemed to forget or didn't know something, he would always turn to Van for assistance. His brother was smart after all. He just seemed to know everything.

"You mean to say that children shouldn't show off. We must keep a low profile and don't show off too much. Otherwise, we might get in trouble." Van helped Don explain.

"Yes! That's right." Don turned back to Kian. "Did you hear that? You must listen to what my brother says."

But Kian was just too dense to understand what Van was saying. He scratched his head and asked, "But what does that mean?"

Van was stunned by his own friend's stupidity.

Don simply rolled his eyes.

Eileen, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly pointed at a group of students not too far from them. "Someone's waving at us. It seems like they're our seniors."

Just as the three looked over to where she was pointing, the tallest boy in the group called out Kian's name. He was asking him to come over.

Kian was excited at the prospect of joining the group, but Van grabbed his friend and stopped him. "Don't go."

"Do you even know them?" Don asked.

"It's alright. I know them. We live in the same area. I'm leaving," Kian answered.

Since Kian knew them, Don released him.

It was just the three of them left now after Kian had gone. Eileen said, "I don't like them."

"Who?" Don asked casually.

Eileen turned around and looked at the group who just called Kian over. She stared at them for a while and said, "Those who called Kian over. I saw them trampling Shera's flower last time."

Shera was one of their classmates in the kindergarten.

At this moment, Eileen's aunt began calling her. Adjusting her schoolbag, she immediately went over to her aunt.

Van had a bad feeling about this. He reached out to pull at his brother's arm and said, "We should probably go find Kian. I have a bad feeling that he'll be bullied."

"Really? How dare they? Let's go then." Resting his hands on his hips, Don looked valiant and confident.

Meanwhile, Leon was already at the gate of the kindergarten, waiting for Van and Don. However, his two nephews hadn't come out yet. The others left with their children. Only he and Kian's grandma were left waiting by the gate.

As time passed, the old lady was starting to wonder why Kian hadn't come out yet. Leon tried to reassure her that her grandson was alright and that he would go inside to ask the teacher about it.

But the teacher told him that the children had already left the classroom.

Leon was still calm, but the teacher began to worry and started to search for them.

Leon checked the surveillance cameras and saw Don hitting someone. With one kick, he knocked down a boy who seemed older than him. Then he beat another one.

But Don's opponents were unwilling to admit defeat. They got up to their feet and fought back.

At the side, there was a dirty schoolbag lying on the ground. Several crayons had rolled out of it.

Van was calm, comforting the crying Kian and wiping away his tears.

The only reason Leon knew that it was Kian was because of the boy's body shape.

Leon stood up and went out of the room unhurriedly. The teacher trailed after him, wiping cold sweat from her forehead. She didn't know whose parent Leon was. The man hadn't said anything since they began watching the surveillance video. She had a feeling that this man was going to be difficult to deal with. He would most probably lose his temper later.

After all, teachers were afraid of getting into trouble.

They had finally arrived at the place where the fighting was taking place. Don quickly pointed at the boys who were all bruised, and began complaining. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"They started it!"

The teacher got angry since Don was the one beating them. With a straight face, she said, "You shouldn't lie. We saw in the video clearly that you hit them."

Upon seeing how the teacher was backing them up, the real bullies who were threatening Kian cried even more fiercely.

"He hit me, miss!"

"We weren't even doing anything wrong, but he still hit us. It hurts, miss."

"You bullied us first!" Don was shaking with rage as he listened to all their accusations. Behind him, Van began to pull his brother back. Calmly, he explained to the teacher what really happened. "Miss, they bullied Kian first. My brother was just standing up for our friend."

Kian was still sobbing as he said, "They snatched my schoolbag and kicked it like a football. And then they began pushing me around."

Little by little, the perpetrators were shrinking back. They didn't dare speak up.

Embarrassed, the teacher was about to say something to Leon, but he simply ignored her. He squatted down in front of his nephews and began brushing off the dust covering their bodies.

The teacher was stunned to find out that Van and Don were Leon's nephews.

'I just wronged his nephew. I'm doomed. I'll surely get in trouble for this.'

Two boys were badly beaten up, so she had to make sure that they were sent to the hospital first before dealing with her current situation.

As soon as they left, Leon began praising Don with a smile. "You did a good job!"

"Of course!" Don preened under the praise. He then picked up Kian's schoolbag and handed it to his friend.

"Waah..." The tears that Kian had valiantly tried to hold back began to roll down his cheeks again.

Don said in disgust, "Real men don't cry that easily."

However, he still reached out his hand to wipe Kian's tears away. But Kian grabbed his sleeve and used it to wipe away all the tears and snot on his face.

"Kian!" Don was even more disgusted this time. He quickly took off his coat and threw it away.

Kian trailed after Don, crying out, "Wait for me!"

Van couldn't help but laugh at their interaction. Leon mussed the top of Van's head, smiling as he said, "Kids like you should smile more. Stop acting like your parents. Otherwise, you won't be cute anymore."

"Uncle Leon, what should we do? They bullied Kian, but my brother beat them up," Van asked, raising his head to look up at his uncle.

Pinching his nephew's cheek, Leon said gently, "What do you think we should do? Once we get back, we'll think of what we, the school, your classmates, and Kian should do."

"Okay!" Van knew that his uncle was trying to teach him something.

With that, he tried to look at the incident from different points of view.

Holding Van's hand, Leon added, "We'll go over this another day. For now, let's go to Michelle's house."
