It was only after she saw that it was Yesseca that she unfold her body from its curled position.
"Aunt," She called out.
Her voice was still just as small and frail as before.
"Do you still remember me?" Yesseca smiled.
She nodded vigorously. "Yes, I do. I still remember Aunt."
Yesseca glanced inside the kindergarten. "Are you studying here? Why don't you go in?"
Dory froze, immediately followed by an embarrassed look on her face as she replied, "Aunt, I don't study in this kindergarten."
"Then why are you here?" Yesseca asked subconsciously.
That day was a working day, it should be time for classes to start in kindergarten.
Dory didn't turn her head around.
Instead, she lowered it, feeling even more awkward, her long lashes fluttering something fierce.
Yesseca paused as a thought came to her.
She then asked incredulously, "Do you not go to kindergarten?"
Dory frantically answered, "Next year, I'm only going next year, I'm not old enough yet."
Yesseca didn't think too much about it then.
After all, the age requirement to study in kindergarten wasn't fixed.
Moreover, in order to save money, some parents would indeed let their children go to school one year later.
When she saw that Yesseca didn't pick the conversation back up, Dory's face also gradually calmed down.
Her gaze then looked back inside the kindergarten, a trace of envy and hunger in her voice as she said, "Aunt, the children are playing very happily."
Yesseca smiled, "When you go into kindergarten next time, you will also play as happily as they are."
A dim light flashed across Dory's eyes.
But like a dragonfly skimming over the water, it soon disappeared.
She then added, "Aunt, if I were in kindergarten, would the children be willing to play with me?" "Of course they will." Yesseca stroked Dory's head.
"After all, you're so cute."
