Chapter 821 - 586: Does Your Conscience Really Not Hurt at All?
In the classroom of Class (4).
Qingqing and Weiwei haven’t played here for a long time, so they are full of freshness and curiosity about everything around them.
One moment, they’re immersed in the playhouse and various role-playing games in the toy zone, laughing and chattering constantly; the next moment, they run to the reading corner, flipping through colorful picture books, savoring the ocean of knowledge.
In short, they are thoroughly enjoying this happiness, playing to their hearts’ content!
This makes Xie Jianing, who’s experiencing the joy of ’busy decorating the classroom for a moment, but exhausted constantly decorating it’, look on with envy.
She couldn’t help teasing the two lively and adorable little ones, "Qingqing, Weiwei, do you know what you look like now?"
"Huh? What?"
Qingqing looks up, her eyes perfectly interpreting ’Little friend, do you have many questions.’
Weiwei also looks up, her big eyes seemingly filled with countless questions, curiously staring at Xie Jianing, "Miss Xie, what do we look like?"
Xie Jianing winked at them, smiling gently, "Like two happy little explorers, oh no, more like two little street loafers~"
"Miss Xie, what’s a street loafer?" Qingqing’s eyes widened with even bigger questions.
"Yes, what does street loafer mean?"
Weiwei’s big eyes blink with the same confusion, gently shaking her little head, "Weiwei doesn’t understand..."
Xie Jianing explained with a smile: "A street loafer is someone who has nothing to do, wandering everywhere, playing everywhere."
After speaking, she continued to coax them like ’the wolf grandmother deceiving Little Red Riding Hood’, "But Qingqing, Weiwei, you’re so lively and adorable; surely you don’t want to be street loafers, right? Come on, Miss Xie will find something more interesting for you to do..."
However.
She hadn’t finished speaking...
Weiwei interrupted, smiling happily at Miss Xie, "Actually, Miss Xie... I quite like being a street loafer~"
Qingqing was a bit stunned upon hearing this.
But after thinking carefully, her sister’s words did make some sense.
Not having to work, wandering everywhere, playing to one’s heart’s content—who wouldn’t like such carefree living?!
Honestly, she liked it too!
She subconsciously nodded, softly echoing, "Yeah, I also enjoy the freedom of being a street loafer!"
"Hehe~"
Seeing Qingqing expressing the same idea, Weiwei felt even happier.
Yang Yuxi, seeing the two little ones showing their yearning for a street loafer’s life, quickly interrupted, "Don’t listen to Miss Xie’s nonsense; you two aren’t street loafers. Didn’t you just help me cut paper?"
"Oh yeah!"
Weiwei suddenly realized, "My sister and I helped Miss Yang with work just now; we aren’t street loafers."
Qingqing vigorously nodded, saying firmly, "Yes, we aren’t street loafers; we helped out!"
Xie Jianing, seeing the earnest yet adorable looks of these two little ones, couldn’t help but be amused and chuckled lightly.
Then, pretending to be serious, she put away her smile and said, "Qingqing, Weiwei, since that’s the case, you can’t be partial—only helping Miss Yang with work and not helping me..."
After speaking, she deliberately covered her chest, frowned, and put on a very sad expression.
Seeing this, Qingqing and Weiwei felt a bit uneasy and both said, "Miss Xie, don’t be sad; my sister and I will help you too! Don’t be upset~"
After saying this, the little ones stood up simultaneously, walked with little "tap tap tap" steps to Xie Jianing’s side, and gently patted her shoulder with their chubby little hands, expressing their empathy.
"Alright, then come help the teacher decorate these plates together!"
Seeing her goal achieved, Xie Jianing appropriately put away her sad face and smiled again.
"Mhmm~"
Qingqing and Weiwei obediently nodded and then sat on either side of Xie Jianing, starting to help decorate those disposable plates.
Yang Yuxi watched quietly from the side, unintentionally casting a glance mixed with helplessness at Xie Jianing, seemingly silently blaming her: "You won’t even spare little children, coaxing them to help—is your conscience really not hurting at all?"
Xie Jianing wittily winked, her lips curving into a sly smile, responding silently: "What’s the big deal? If free assistants aren’t utilized, wouldn’t that be a pity?"
Yang Yuxi countered with her eyes: "If Huang Jun knew about your ’feat’, see if you can still be so carefree. If he strips you of your food privileges, then you’ll have to behave..."
Understanding Xie Jianing: "..."
Sigh...
Life’s path is full of twists and turns; some things are better left vague, tacitly understood and unspoken.
She then showed a slightly embarrassed yet polite smile, eyes twinkling with laughter, explaining silently: "Miss Yang, I’m not coaxing them—I’m training their hands-on abilities, which is very beneficial for their growth."
This reason gets 99 points from Yang Yuxi, she saves one point to keep Xie Jianing from getting proud~

Yang Yuxi rolled her eyes at Xie Jianing: "Alright, even if your reasons are tremendous, don’t use this ’little cleverness’ next time, or I won’t let you off easily..."
