For several days, Shen Mochen went home alone after school, without waiting for Peach.

Fortunately, the children in the first grade were usually dismissed earlier. Every afternoon after her cla.s.s was dismissed for the day, Peach would stand outside Shen Mochen's second-grade cla.s.sroom, waiting for his cla.s.s to end.

After several days in a row, the teachers who taught Shen Mochen's last cla.s.s felt very stressed. Seeing Shen Mochen's wife waiting pitifully outside the cla.s.sroom, they could not bear to let the cla.s.s drag on. The male teachers who were single found it heart-wrenching that such a young child already had a wife, whereas theirs was nowhere in sight.

These few days, the second graders in Shen Mochen's cla.s.s found it unusual for them to be dismissed from school on time.

Unhurriedly, Shen Mochen packed his backpack, pushed his chair in, and slowly sauntered out of the cla.s.sroom.

"Husband!" Peach called out and hurried after him, carrying her backpack. As Shen Mochen had been rather cold towards her during the past few days, she did not dare to hold his hand.

"Humph!" he snorted in reply.

"What's this, did the young couple quarrel?" Shen Mochen's form teacher, Ms. w.a.n.g, asked when she ran into them at the school gate on her way home.

Ms. w.a.n.g was also a recent university graduate who was teaching mathematics. With long flowing hair and a smile that revealed two tiger-like teeth, Ms. w.a.n.g was the crush of many single male teachers in the school.

She was extremely open-minded about Shen Mochen, who was cold like an iceberg, having a wife at this young age. Afterall, they were just children and children would often proclaim their love for one another. They could not possibly understand love at this age. Even for puppy love, it would likely happen a few years down the road.

Shen Mochen looked up and threw his form teacher an annoyed glance. Why is it that no matter where he went, he had to be labelled as Peach's husband. This was the case both at home and in school.

"Ooh, are you angry?" Ms. w.a.n.g looked at him with a smile. This boy was usually expressionless. Yet, his face was now filled with fury, which was actually rather cute.

"Humph!" Shen Mochen snorted in reply again.

"Try to pacify him," Ms. w.a.n.g advised Peach and winked at her. She then yelled to Shen Mochen, who had walked on ahead, "Be careful on the road and take good care of your wife!"

Shen Mochen murmured quietly, "Long-winded." However, he slowed down to wait for Peach to catch up. Even so, he maintained a distance of one meter away from her before walking on.

"Husband, don't be angry," Peach coaxed, trailing behind him at a leisurely pace. Thinking about what to do, she carried her backpack in front of her to take something out while she walked. Handing the object to Shen Mochen, she said, "This is for you. It's the bunny I made in art cla.s.s today. "

Shen Mochen glanced at her but continued ignoring her.

Just then, a familiar voice called out from behind them, "Shen Mochen, Peach Su!"

Peach spun around to take a quick look. It was Hu Yucheng again. For some reason unbeknownst to her, Hu Yucheng has been going to his grandmother's house almost every day after school recently. Though Peach was clueless about the reason, Shen Mochen knew exactly why.

"Peach, did you make this rabbit? It's so cute."
