B5SB -Chapter 315 Something Wrong with Her Eyes

The next day.

Gu Yihan groggily opened her eyes and turned her head to look at the dressing table beside the bed.

She had been carried back to the master bedroom by Lu Huailin again.

She slowly sat up and raised her hand to rub her head.

So angry that she ground her teeth.

That bastard Lu Huailin had done it on purpose—getting back at her by tossing her around all night.

“Wife, get up and eat breakfast.”

Lu Huailin pushed open the door and said cheerfully.

Gu Yihan shot him an annoyed glare and got out of bed to get dressed.

Haohao, who was eating a bun, looked up at her as she came downstairs and swallowed his food.

“Mom, the sun is already shining on your butt and you’re only getting up now. So embarrassing!”

Haohao pointed at his little face and said in a childish voice.

Gu Yihan sat down at the table, picked up her soy milk, took a sip, then turned to Haohao with a smile.

“Mom is planning to register you for kindergarten tomorrow.”

When Haohao heard that he had to go to school, his little head drooped immediately.

“Mom, I don’t want to go to kindergarten.”

Lu Huailin handed the peeled egg to his wife and said casually, “I already registered him yesterday afternoon. Tomorrow is Monday. He can start right away.”

Seeing Haohao’s widened eyes, Gu Yihan couldn’t help laughing.

Haohao pouted pitifully.

“I don’t want to go to school with other kids.”

Lu Huailin frowned.

“Why?”

“The kids in kindergarten are so dumb. They can’t even read the words in picture books.”

Gu Yihan twitched at the corner of her mouth.

Haohao had grown up reading character cards and loved picture books.

He recognized most common characters, so it was understandable that he didn’t like playing with kids who couldn’t read.

Lu Huailin frowned deeply.

He knew his son had an almost photographic memory.

Keeping him in kindergarten would be wasting his talent.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “Go to kindergarten first. Dad will talk to Grandpa later and see if we can find you a suitable teacher to teach you at home.”

Haohao thought that studying at home meant he wouldn’t have to go to kindergarten anymore. He was so happy he almost jumped up.

“Thank you, Dad!”

Gu Yihan looked at him with a trace of sympathy in her eyes.

He didn’t know that once a private teacher was hired, his carefree days would be over.

She silently prayed, “Amen.”

After breakfast, Lu Huailin went to the army.

Gu Yihan held Haohao’s hand, locked the courtyard gate, and walked toward the service area.

At the military supply store, she went straight to the liquor counter and bought three bottles of Moutai, then went to the snack section and bought ten bottles of orange soda.

Meanwhile, Haohao was stuck in the stationery section, unable to move.

He stared unblinkingly at a soccer ball inside the display case.

Turning to Gu Yihan, he shouted, “Mom, I want that football!”

Gu Yihan walked over and followed his finger. It was a leather soccer ball.

Seeing her hesitate, the sales clerk bent down and smiled gently at Haohao.

In a low voice, she said, “Little friend, that football is for big kids. You can choose the rubber one next to it.”

Haohao didn’t reply.

He just looked up at Gu Yihan with big, eager eyes.

Gu Yihan patted his head and smiled.

“You’re still small, but you’ve got good taste.”

“Comrade, how much is that leather football?”

The clerk smiled.

“It’s made of genuine leather, hand-stitched. Thirteen yuan and two industrial coupons. The rubber one next to it is four yuan.”

She assumed Gu Yihan wouldn’t be willing to buy such an expensive ball for a small child, so she mentioned the cheaper one too.

Gu Yihan glanced at her, then took out a ten-yuan bill, three one-yuan notes, and two industrial coupons and handed them over.

The clerk looked at her in surprise.

She hadn’t expected her to be so generous and quickly accepted the money.

Then she handed over the leather football.

Gu Yihan took it and passed it to Haohao, then led him away.

On the way home.

Haohao hugged the ball, running and stopping happily.

“Slow down. If you fall, don’t cry,” Gu Yihan reminded him.

Haohao immediately turned around, walked backward with the ball in his arms, and grinned proudly.

“Mom, I won’t fall even if I walk with my eyes closed!”

Gu Yihan smiled slightly and stopped nagging.

She thought: the prouder you are, the harder you’ll fall later.

Mother and son walked one behind the other.

At the corner near their alley.

Gu Yihan suddenly saw a woman riding a bicycle straight toward Haohao.

So frightened, she dropped the basket in her hand.

She rushed forward, scooped Haohao up, and turned to dodge.

At that moment, the bicycle brushed past her shoulder and sped by.

Clang!

“Ouch!”

The cyclist fell to the ground along with her bike.

Wu Meili cried out in pain as she pushed the bicycle off herself.

She stood up, patted the dirt off her clothes, and saw that Gu Yihan and Haohao were unharmed.

She immediately cursed, “Are you blind?! Didn’t you see someone riding a bike in front of you? Blocking the way on purpose—trying to scam people, huh?!”

Gu Yihan’s heart was still pounding.

If she hadn’t reacted in time, Haohao would’ve been hit.

He was so small—how could he withstand that impact?

Thinking of this, she turned and looked coldly at Wu Meili.

She snapped, “Are you in such a hurry that you’re rushing to reincarnate?!”

Wu Meili’s face darkened when she heard the curse.

She stepped forward, ready to teach Gu Yihan a lesson.

Hearing the argument, Auntie Zhang worried that the newly arrived Gu Yihan might be bullied.

She hurried out and rushed over, blocking Wu Meili.

“Aunt Zhang, look at her!” Wu Meili complained. “I don’t know where this wild woman came from, trying to scam people in the family compound!”

Auntie Zhang quickly explained, “Meili, you misunderstood. Comrade Gu Yihan is Division Commander Lu’s wife. She lives in Courtyard No. 5. She’s our neighbor.”

Wu Meili stopped and frowned.

“Aunt Zhang, you’re saying she’s Commander Lu’s wife?”

Auntie Zhang walked over to Gu Yihan and smiled.

“Xiaohan, this is Meili, Staff Officer Gao’s daughter-in-law.”

Gu Yihan gave Wu Meili a cold glance.

“She can be anyone’s daughter-in-law. That has nothing to do with me. She scared my son with her bike. She owes him an apology.”

Wu Meili immediately exploded.

She pointed at Haohao in Gu Yihan’s arms.

“You want me to apologize to this little brat? Why should I?!”

Looking at Haohao’s frightened, dejected face, Gu Yihan felt heartbroken.

She raised her eyes, full of icy anger.

“Because you’re blind.”
