He suddenly recalled that at home, Mom and Dad had privately discussed before that Aunt Vicki might be at a certain place, they would always avoid mentioning Vicki in front of him.
At the time he didn't think much of it.
Now thinking back, turns out he didn't actually escape from Cloud's hands. On the contrary, after the explosion, he passed out and was caught by Cloud.
If what Xiao Chengjun said was true, then Vicki exchanged herself for him, that's why he got away safely. No wonder when he said he didn't give Mom and Dad any trouble, Mom seemed a little downhearted, so this was the reason.
Anderson was shocked.
Turns out the happiness he enjoyed came at the cost of Uncle Felix's pain.
"Haha..." Xiao Chengjun made faces at Anderson, "Got nothing to say now, right? You only got away thanks to my family's help, hmph, stop acting so arrogant."
Anderson didn't speak, his little fists clenched tightly.
Kiki spoke up for Anderson, "Don't bother with him. My mom always said we kids shouldn't get involved in adult matters. The adults will resolve it themselves. Anderson, don't be upset, don't listen to his nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Xiao Chengjun yelled, "Kiki, why do you always take his side? I'm nicer to you than he is. Look he totally ignores you. He doesn't even answer when you talk to him."
Kiki pouted looking at Anderson. It's true Anderson barely acknowledged her, most times he was silent on his own, ignoring anything she said to him.
She felt a little sad. No matter if it was comforting him or speaking up for him, he never responded.
Just then Xiao Chengjun stirred things up even more, "Ah forget him. Just stick with me. Let me tell you, Anderson definitely likes some other girl. He won't even look at you, why do you keep bothering with him?"
Saying so, Xiao Chengjun shamelessly sat down right next to Kiki.
He stuffed the gift into Kiki's desk, "I gave this to you, so just take it."
Kiki didn't believe him, "You're making things up, I won't believe you."
She stuffed the gift back into Xiao Chengjun's arms.
"I'm not making things up! Just now, just now, I saw a photo of another girl on the little screen in his hand." Xiao Chengjun pointed at the mini computer in Anderson's hand. He didn't know what it was for, only that there was a cell phone-like screen on it. Just now when he leaned over, he happened to see Anderson looking at photos.
Anderson was startled, subconsciously putting away the mini computer.
He frowned, he had been too careless. He especially hated others prying into his privacy.
"Ah, really? Anderson, you like a girl?" Kiki's eyes widened, looking at Anderson with tearful eyes.
Anderson was annoyed by them. The kids who could attend Dewey Noble Kindergarten were all precocious due to family circumstances. Having been exposed to many things from a young age, their emotional worlds were also complex. Kiki for example was typical. Xiao Chengjun looked dumb but was equally precocious mentally. As for himself, even more so.
He might as well take this chance to shake off Kiki's pestering.
He was extremely annoyed, he didn't like Kiki at all, and he didn't need Kiki's help either.
Just then, several other kids in class turned around, "Wow, Anderson you really like a girl? More pretty than Kiki?"
"I haven't seen a prettier girl than Kiki yet. Show us the photo too."
Anderson glared fiercely at them.
"Yes, I already have a girl I like! She's prettier than Kiki."
