Chapter 3293 Children Get Rained

Chengcheng wrote very quickly. In the second half of her story, the little stone began to use the light it stored to help others: to help a lost little ant find its way home, to give a shivering baby bird some warmth, and to create a glowing dream for a field mouse that was afraid to sleep alone...

Every time Liuliu wrote a short story about helping someone, she would clutch her chest and exclaim dramatically, "Oh my, this is so heartwarming! My heart is so warm. Life is so beautiful, it's so wonderful to be alive. I'm so grateful for the little stone, I'm so grateful for the sun... Oh, right, Chengcheng, we should add a picture here! Xiaomi, Xier, draw a little stone emitting a soft glow to light up the little ant's path! It would definitely look beautiful!"

Xiaobai winked at Dudu, who immediately went behind Liuliu, covered her mouth, and dragged her away.

Faced with absolute power, Liuliu appeared weak and helpless, with only her fluttering legs as her last act of defiance.

Robin ran over with an inflatable steel fork in hand, eyeing Liu Liu menacingly.

Finally, it was quiet. Chengcheng's writing flowed undisturbed, and she wrote even faster, as if guided by divine inspiration.

Before she knew it, Chengcheng had filled three pages, and the first draft of her first story, "The Little Stone That Collects Starlight," was complete.

She gently put down her pen and rubbed her slightly sore wrist.

Xiaomi immediately poured Chengcheng a glass of warm water and let her rest, while Xiaobai took the storybook. Everyone immediately gathered around, and several little heads surrounded the storybook to look at it.

Xi'er pointed to the fifth line of the first page and said, "There's a typo here. It should be 'firefly,' not 'glowfly.' And here, the punctuation is wrong. It should be a period, not a comma."

Everyone immediately turned to look at Xiwawa. Xiaobai said, "You're right, Xiwawa. Let's finish watching first, and then we'll revise it later."

“Okay~” Xi’er agreed, and everyone continued reading the story.

At this moment, Liuliu was finally released. She skipped and ran, rushing over in a flurry, and managed to squeeze next to Xiaobai. She also poked her head in, shouting, "Finished writing? Let me see! I'm the creative director, I want to be the first to see!"

Xiao Bai reminded her, "If you want to watch, then watch, but don't push or make a fuss."

Everyone finished reading it quickly and praised how well the story was written. Liuliu even wanted to take the storybook home, saying she would read it three or four more times before going to bed so she could have a good dream.

Xiao Bai slammed the notebook shut and held it protectively to her chest: "No! The first draft must be kept secret. Once it's polished, we'll add illustrations and make a sample chapter for everyone to see, but we can't take it home."

Liu Liu screamed, "Ah??! I've been waiting for this for so long! Even if you didn't do a great job, you still put in a lot of effort! Cheng Cheng~~~"

She turned to Chengcheng, hoping to gain some exceptions by virtue of her years of being a sycophant.

Chengcheng looked at Xiaobai, then at the expectant Liuliu, and said softly, "I'll listen to Xiaobai."

Xiao Bai chuckled, while Liu Liu sighed and groaned, as if all the bones in her body had been removed, leaving her limp and weak. She only managed to stay upright thanks to Robin's efforts.

But Robin was panting heavily, almost smoking, and wouldn't last much longer.

Dudu still cares about her friends, so she said, "Let's ask Chengcheng to read the story of Little Stone to us. She'll read it better."

"Yay! Chengcheng is the best!"

Liuliu instantly perked up, quickly stood at attention, and didn't forget to give instructions: "Robin, go and chase those kids who are playing around away, don't disturb our story! Dudu, close the window, it's a bit noisy! Xier, go get some drinks to soothe your throat... Chengcheng, read slower, I want to savor it!"

Robin happily went to maintain order, Dudu closed the window, and Xi'er actually ran to get a few glasses of water.

Surrounded by her friends, Chengcheng slowly read aloud the story she had just written in her unique, calm yet magical voice.

There was no exaggerated tone, no superfluous gestures, but the words seemed to come alive through her voice.

A lonely little stone, a kind firefly, warm starlight, animals helping each other... scenes unfold in everyone's mind.

Liuliu listened intently. When she heard that Little Stone had successfully collected the light spots for the first time, she clenched her fist. When she heard that Little Field Mouse had fallen asleep peacefully with the starlight dream, she wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.

After the story was finished, the reading area was quiet for a few seconds.

With a gleam in her eyes, Xiaomi was the first to say, "It sounds beautiful, even more delicate than when I heard it before. Writing it down on paper feels like preserving all those beautiful memories."

Xiao Weiwei nodded vigorously: "I want to write down the last sentence, 'The darkest place may hold the warmest light,' and use it as the title!"

Dudu clapped her hands: "Chengcheng, you wrote so well! I'm going to buy ten copies to give away when it's published!"

Although Robin didn't quite understand some of the details, it didn't stop her from clapping her hands enthusiastically: "Chengcheng is amazing! Protect Chengcheng!"

She always kept her mission in mind and never forgot her original aspiration.

Liu Liu let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had accomplished a great mission. She patted Cheng Cheng's shoulder with a mature and steady hand and said, "Not bad, not bad, the story is of a high standard, and it even has a sublime ending! But I think the ending could be a little bit more, for example, many, many years later, the little stone became an old stone, and the light spots inside its body became an underground galaxy, nourishing the entire riverbed, and then new little stones..."

She still can't shake her professional habit of constantly rewriting scripts.

Xiaobai interrupted her, saying, "Stop! Liuliu, are you writing a sequel? Chengcheng hasn't even finished the first story yet!"

Liu Liu laughed and said, "I'm just looking to the future, my dear Chengcheng. Now that you've finished your first story, what's next? How about 'The Dancing Shadow'? That's super fun too! Or how about 'The Little Snail Living in the Alarm Clock'? That's especially healing! Or..."

Chengcheng closed her notebook and gently interrupted her: "Think about it tomorrow."

Liuliu immediately changed her tune, saying, "Yes, yes, yes! We can't let Chengcheng get tired. Creativity needs rest! We can't overdraw our inspiration! I know this well. So what time does it start tomorrow? I'll come early to reserve a spot."

……

A thunderstorm broke out again that night, with thunder rumbling and lightning flashing across the sky, scaring the children so much that they hid in the classroom, too afraid to move.

"what--"

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and before the thunder could even rumble, Robin let out a scream. But it wasn't out of fear; it was out of excitement. The little girl was holding an inflatable steel fork, her face beaming.

Her scream startled the other children, who then screamed as well.

This made Robin even more excited, and he ran around the classroom screaming everywhere.

She was immediately caught by the kindergarten teacher and taken away for "education".

Xiaobai made her rounds in the classroom, comforting the children who were frightened by the thunder. Then she went to the corridor, looked at the pattering rain outside, and before the lightning struck, she rushed into the rain and ran to Building 2 to check on the children there.

She stayed there for a while, and just as she was about to go back, she saw a figure rushing towards her through the rain. When it got closer, she realized it was Xiwawa.

The baby doll looked like a drowned rat after being soaked by the rain.

"What are you doing here, Xiwawa?" As soon as Xiaobai finished speaking, another figure rushed out from the rain. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Liuliu.

Liu Liu laughed heartily, her wet hair sticking to her forehead, but she was overjoyed.

Before Xiaobai could speak, two more rushed out of the rain – Robin and Xiaoxiao.

The two laughed and giggled, letting out excited screams.

Xiao Bai finally understood: these people deliberately rushed out to get soaked in the rain.

She quickly scolded, "Don't run out—"

A figure ran into the yard, but upon hearing Xiaobai's reprimand, immediately turned back.

When Xiaobai returned to Building 1, she saw Xiaoyouyou and Xiaowang standing as punishment, with Teacher Xiaoliu scolding them with a stern face while wiping their wet hair.

Teacher Xiaoyuan and the others were suppressing the other restless children, preventing them from rushing out into the rain.
