"Wow!" Ling Chujin walked by and took a look, unable to help exclaiming in surprise, "No wonder your dad is so happy. This skirt started being made half a year ago. I thought it wouldn't be done in time for this admission activity originally."
The admission activity referred to the kindergarten Ji Ruochu would attend next semester. It was an activity held before the school year started.
This kindergarten was quite remarkable. It was an affiliate kindergarten of the city's famous elite elementary school. For parents to enroll their children, they first had to go through an exam.
And this activity, called a pre-admission activity, was actually a disguised test as well.
During the time the children played and interacted, there would be teachers from the school observing and sending admission notices for each family's class afterward.
The admission activity was set in mid-July with the theme of traditional costumes, which was ten days later.
On that day, whether it was the children, the parents, or the school's teachers and staff, everyone had to wear ancient traditional costumes to attend the event.
The activity would examine the children's adaptability and knowledge mastery through games.
As the most ignorant in the older generation of the Ji family, Ji Mochen naturally did not ask too much of his daughter, although when Ji Ruochu was three years old, they had already hired a private tutor to coach the child.
But based on the teacher's feedback, the couple already knew their daughter's aptitude was average. Naturally, they would not focus too much on this.
On the contrary, it was this outfit to wear that almost caused the couple to argue. Ling Chujin wanted their daughter to wear an ancient princess's luxurious clothes.
Ji Mochen, however, wanted his daughter to wear something more heroic and less likely to be bullied.
So the couple each prepared an outfit and would let their daughter choose herself when the time came.
In short, no matter which class, his daughter Ji Ruochu must be the best looking and seem least approachable among all the children!
As the person involved, Ji Ruochu was originally not too concerned about which outfit to wear. After all, with her looks, she would stand out regardless.
But it was different now that this horse-faced skirt had appeared. She immediately liked it. As for the fit...
She had successfully grown taller by half a head these two months, and the lotus root-like wrists had also shrunk back somewhat. The same little skirt used to make her look like a cute little cream puff before, but now it was like she had elongated into a petite fairy.
When not smiling, her pair of fox-like eyes were aloof and proud, making people feel it was sacrilege to stare at her more.
But when she smiled, her originally cold brows would make her softness and cuteness double.
For example, now the little one took a bite of the petite dessert her mother had brought to her mouth, and her eyes instantly brimmed with smiles.
Watching this, Ling Chujin felt her daughter was like a snowy white furry little fox, making her almost want to hug her precious girl.
Ling Chujin thought it and naturally did it. In the next second, she put down the mini cake and picked up Ji Ruochu, beginning to smother her:
"Oh my, whose cute little darling is this?..."
"Who is it? Who is it?"
"Oh my! It's mine!"
"Our Ruo Ruo is so pretty~!"
"Let mommy give you some kisses..."
Ji Ruochu was enthusiastically nibbled on by her fan mom for a good while before Ji Mochen rescued her out. By then, the little one's ears were red.
At times like these, Ji Mochen hated that he wasn't a woman so he could also unscrupulously nibble on his daughter.
What a pity... Reality was always cruel. He was a grown man. He could nibble on his daughter's little face when she was small, but not anymore.
After all, he had consulted experts. He had to establish strong defenses between males and females with his daughter from a young age, to make his daughter understand that even her dad could not do certain things, let alone other little boys.
"Right, eldest brother scheduled a family banquet at the old house today. We'll go there to eat for dinner tonight," Ji Mochen suddenly recalled.
"Has everything been taken care of?" Ling Chujin asked.
"Can I go out and play now?" Ji Ruochu was also overjoyed.
Heaven knew how painful it had been, being cooped up in this neighborhood the past two months. The couple had hired quite a few teachers for her.
Ones for teaching etiquette, painting, piano, dancing, completely having the perceptive feeling of working a child to death.
Fortunately, the couple were not truly intending to make her learn them all, only to have her try sample lessons of each first and choose for herself what she wanted to pursue.
In the end, Ji Ruochu resolutely passed on singing and dancing under her old dad's pleading gaze.
After all...she would not deign to sing and dance even if dogs did!
She still wanted to enter showbiz in the future, but she was determined on acting. She had not earned the label of acting fanatic for nothing!
Thus, the things she learned now were naturally to prepare for her future choices, as well as polish skills she already grasped in her previous life. They could not suddenly become adept just like that, right?
So in the end, the little one chose painting, which she already knew a little of in her past life, plus piano which she had always wanted to learn but did not have the means. She also selected broadcasting lessons to exercise her eloquence and logical thinking.
As these lessons tended to be more sedate, Ji Mochen strongly recommended his daughter also pick an outdoor course that was more physical and could exercise her body.
Even if only arranging it for now and taking it up later.
Ji Ruochu thought it quite reasonable. One had to first strengthen oneself before one could strengthen others. She did not want to drop dead inexplicably again. She would choose...Tai Chi then!
Back then, upon seeing his daughter resolutely choose Tai Chi, Ji Mochen successfully blanked out for a few seconds.
Heaven knew, his motivation in urging his daughter to pick a physical activity was for her to be exposed a little to dance. After all, given the family's genes, who knew, she might discover an interest once learning it?
Yet instead, his daughter directly bypassed dance to select martial arts, and even the most health preserving of martial arts—Tai Chi?
In that moment, the couple's expressions were even more stifled than mute people being forced to eat bitter melon.
But what could they do? Their little one simply favored the smooth silk Tai Chi workout clothes. They could only go along with the arrangement.
Practice time: 6 AM
Location: neighborhood park
Teacher: grandpa from the neighborhood
Why 6 AM?
Because later the neighborhood granpas and grannies would all go home!
