At the kindergarten.
Ivan was racking his brain on how he could see Julie again, and then Amora, who was sitting next to him, walked over and gently tugged at his sleeve, "Sillyvan, you're not really mad, are you?"
Amora thought Ivan was mad because she had just dragged him to meet her parents, so her tone was very gentle at the moment, trying to appease him, so he wouldn't be mad anymore.
However, Ivan didn't take what just happened seriously. His mind was full of Julie, and he really wanted to call his dad to ask how he tricked her into coming.
But he knew very well that if he called Kerry now, he was just asking for trouble.
Ivan was completely engrossed in his thoughts and didn't listen to what Amora was saying.
Amora innocently looked at Ivan and said, "Sillyvan, next time I won't use you as a shield. But my mom said guys can't be so petty! Humph!"
It was then that Ivan came back to his senses, suddenly turned his head and looked at MoMo and said, "Cupid, did I just do you a big favor?"
Amora thought for a while, and then nodded her head. It was good that she wasn't the last one in the class otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
"Since I did you a big favor, shouldn't you do me a big favor too?" Ivan's face suddenly showed a sly smile.
Amora nodded without hesitation, "Sure, how can I help?"
"Next time you see Mama Julie, you have to loudly praise me in front of her that I'm smart, handsome and awesome, and show that you admire me, got it?"
"Oh, but that's a bit hard!"
Ivan glared at Amora, saying, "Then I'll tell your director dad and your agent mom right away that you only eat meat and no veggies at school!!"
Amora grabbed Ivan's sleeve, "Oh!! Sillyvan, you are so handsome, you are so smart and you are the best boy I have ever seen!"
Ivan nodded in satisfaction.
The school bell rang, Ivan sat down in his seat, and Amora also sat neatly.
"From now on, call me Ivan in front of my mother, not my nickname." Ivan lowered his voice, patting Amora's shoulder.
Amora nodded, a bit excited, "Okay, Sillyvan, oh no, Ivan."
"Such a donkey." Ivan's face was filled with... disdain.
Amora got too excited, stood up all of a sudden, "You are the..."
"MoMo, what are you doing?" The teacher rapped on the blackboard, looking serious.
Amora, feeling wronged, pointed at Ivan and complained:, "Ms, Ivan says our class is like a zoo!"
Ivan was speechless, quietly lamenting Amora's reaction, which exceeded his imagination.
Under Amora's complex gaze, Ivan finished the last class of the day.
Amora followed Ivan, chattering, "Sillyvan, your dad doesn't scold you for scoring only three points?"
"My dad failed his exams when he was young, and I didn't laugh at him either." Ivan said a bit proudly.
Amora thought about it, and responded, "But your father is very handsome, so it doesn't matter if his grades are not good."
"Cupid, you can't be so superficial." Ivan stopped, looking at Amora seriously.
Amora seemed to understand a bit, nodding, "Oh!"
"Just because he's handsome, he doesn't have to get good grades? The key is he's rich, understand?"
"Oh!"
At the school gate, Julie was standing there with her cast, just happened to hear their conversation and couldn't help but laugh.
Ivan saw Julie, his eyes lit up in an instant, "Mama Julie? How come you're here?"
"I came to pick you up after school." Julie reached out, gently patting Ivan's head.
Hearing Ivan calling her Mama Julie, Amora quickly followed, "Sillyvan, your mom is really pretty."
"Sillyvan?" Julie was somewhat puzzled by this nickname.
Ivan turned his head and glared at Amora with his eyes.
Amora touched her head, smartly explained, "Because Ivan always gets full marks in the exams! I’m a little jealous so I call him Sillyvan! I’m just joking but actually he’s very clever!"
"Is that so? Ivan, you're really great." Julie looked at Ivan lovingly.
Ivan didn't feel embarrassed at all, nodding, "Of course! My smartness is inherited from my dad!"
Amora, in accordance with Ivan's request, said to Julie, "Ivan is really awesome, even more awesome than the teacher! No, even more awesome than Superman! Ivan is the most awesome person in the world!"
"Cupid!" Ivan shouted in a low voice, indicating that was enough, her exaggerated words were a bit too much!
Julie thought the little girl in front of her was cute and pretty, like a Barbie doll, making people want to take a few more looks.
"Little girl, what's your name?" Julie asked Amora with a smile.
Just as Amora was about to open her mouth, Ivan started answering for her, "Her name is Amora, we all call her MoMo, or Cupid. Her dad's name is Babur and her mom's name is Albertine."
