In the kindergarten, Tyler sat together with Little Jelly Bean.
Tyler took a few glances at Little Jelly Bean. He could not bear with it anymore and said, "Cherie, in a few days, I may be transferred to another school."
Frowning, Little Jelly Bean looked at him with her watery eyes. With her cute voice, she asked, "Why?"
Telling her the truth, Tyler said, "It is because my family is too poor, and it's too expensive to study here."
Pursing her mouth, she locked her eyes onto Tyler and said, "My daddy has a lot of money. I can ask him to pay for your tuition fees."
Tyler's eyes widened and brightened. "Really?"
Little Jelly Bean nodded her in a serious manner. "My daddy loves me very much. If I tell him, he'll definitely help you."
Tyler thought that this was a good idea at first. Not only could he stay here and continue studying with Cherie, but he could also help reduce the burden on his family. However, as he thought twice, he was actually a man. If she helped him, he would become a man who lived off a woman!
No... No way! Absolutely no way!
"Forget it. It's not good to ask your father to pay for my tuition fees. I’d rather get transferred."
Little Jelly Bean was naive and simple-minded. Seeing Tyler's unwillingness, she took out a bag of bear biscuits from her school bag and handed it to Tyler.
"Well then. This is a farewell gift from me."
Tyler was speechless, "..."
What? He had not left yet but she had prepared a farewell gift already?!
He said he wanted to transfer to another school! Why didn't Cherie stop him?
In any case, he always fought for her and supported her.
He was going to leave but why wasn't she sad?
Tyler was extremely depressed.
Suddenly, Tyler called out to Little Jelly Bean seriously, "Cherie."
"Hm?"
"Do you like me?"
Little Jelly Bean's eyebrows furrowed deeper, and her moist eyes looked at him, confused. Under Tyler's nervous and expectant eyes, Little Jelly Bean shook her head firmly.
"I like my daddy, Monty, and grandpa, but I don't like you."
Tyler stretched out his hand to massage his forehead. "I'm not talking about that kind of 'like'. I'm talking about... Have you watched Detective Conan?"
Little Jelly Bean nodded her head. "I've watched it, but I am a little scared of it. There are so many murders in it and I have to watch it with my daddy, otherwise I don't dare to watch it alone."
"Do you know Conan and Ran Mori?"
"Of course I know. Tyler, don't underestimate me."
Tyler was a little excited. Since she knew about Conan and Ran, she must understand that Conan likes Ran, right?
"The 'like' I referred to is how Conan likes Ran, not the way you like your parents."
Little Jelly Bean corrected him innocently. "You're wrong, Conan likes Ran because he regards her as a sister! Conan is the younger brother!"
Tyler felt disoriented. He had a bad headache.
Why didn't Cherie understand it? The other girls in the class had started to confess to him already.
Why was the person he liked so blunt?
However, even if it was that kind of 'like', didn't she like him that way?
"Why don't you like me?"
"Because you always annoy me."
Tyler pursed his small mouth and awkwardly moved his face taway. After a long time, he said slowly, "Then, I'll try my best not to annoy you in the future."
"However, as you always help me, I'm willing to be your friend."
