<h4>Chapter 704 - Smell like chocte pancakes.</h4>


    On the other side, Li Xue was perfectly on time. She looked at her watch. Though not at the exact moment of school off, she was still there to catch the thing on time. It was still ten minutes before the final bell.


    "Keep the car parked here itself. When the bell rings, I will go and pick her up." She said to the driver before looking out of the window. There were already peopleing to pick their children and the school buses were also preparing to leave.


    Seeing the crowd like that, Li Xue smiled on her own as she murmured to herself, "Right! I should not forget that I need to wear the mask first. Otherwiseter, I would need to be prepared to hear my little devil''s lecture on ignorance".


    She shook her head remembering how every day, after packing her backpack for school. The little onees to check the avability of the mask in her bag. Like a mother taking a note of every essential of her kid.


    "Ma''am, the bell rang. There is a little rush outside. Should I go and pick the little princess up?". The driver asked, not forgetting how dear their boss treats the woman. He would be upset to know that he let thedy walk in such a crowd.


    But Li Xue shook her head, denying his request. "There will be no such need. I will go myself while you can wait here for us to return". She said before pushing the door of the car open to walk out at once.


    The driver thought to stop the woman once more, but before he could the woman was already halfway to her destination.


    Inside, Li Xue soon walked through the corridor where her daughter''s ssroom was. Since it was the section of juniors, fewer students were walking out of their room. Only the ones whose parents or the drivers wereing to pick them up were allowed to walk out of their ssrooms, the rest were sitting and waiting inside.


    "Umm … Xiao Fei, is it really fun to learn piano?" From a distance,? Li Xue heard the curious voice of her little one. She bent a little to peek inside and she was right, it was her little sweetie asking for the details sweetly with her bench mate. They looked like a good pair together.


    "Mhm … Xiao Wei, learning piano is really fun. I really like it when every time I press the keys and a piece of music is created. Even my teacher there says that if I learn sincerely, I will be a good pianist when I grow up. I really like it. You should alsoe there and learn piano, then we will together be popr pianists when we grow up". The other little girl with two sweet braided pigtails said. The excitement of persuading her friend toe along with her at the practice was written all well on her face.


    That was such an innocent feeling between the kids that a.d.u.l.ts could never understand until and unless they remember their own childhood stories from back then.


    Little Li Wei looked at her friend, her thoughts busy deciding while her eyes looked at her friend with some confusion. "Xiao Fei, I cannot tell you now. I would need to ask my Mama and daddy Angel first. And the other thing, when I grow I am not sure if I would like to be a pianist or not".


    Li Xue smiled hearing her daughter''s response. No doubt she was different from other kids. A lot decisive and thoughtful to understand things well.


    "Ma''am, you are here for?" Suddenly the teacher came to ask when saw the woman peeking inside the ssroom from outside. She was new to the ss and had never seen Li Xue before and since there was a mask covering half of her face, she didn''t recognize her well.


    Li Xue was immediately brought back to the current situation. Turning to look at the teacher she said, "I am here for Li Wei."


    The teacher looked at her and was a little doubtful, given the mask on her face. She was about to ask but before she could say anything, she heard a cheerful call from behind that almost proved everything.


    "Mama!"


    Li Xue smiled at that call, as her eyes darted to look at her little one who had already spotted her nearby. Her eyes grew a little small as her lips curled up behind the mask.


    The next second, the little WeiWei was already ready to leave with her mother with the backpack on her back. But her teacher paused her. "Wait, WeiWei!" before turning back to confirm her doubts. "Is she your mother?"


    The little girl nodded, looking up at her teacher in confusion. "Yes, teacher. She is my Mama."


    "How do you know? She has gotten a mask on her face" The teacher said, keeping a protective hold at her hand, not letting go.


    "I know it by her smell. My mother has got the sweet smell of chocte pancakes but it''s not the same. Just slightly different". Li Wei said, blinking happily at her mother and Li Xue could not help but shake her head at her words. She never knew this before. Did she really smell like chocte pancakes to her?


    The teacher''s brows wrinkled. She did not understand the reason, so turning back to Li Xue, she asked very politely. "Sorry, Ma''am. But this is about the safety of our students. If it is not a problem, can you please remove your mask once or show me the parent''s pass.".


    Li Xue smiled and nodded. "Sure!" She said before pulling out the parent''s pass for the teacher to see. "Is Ms. D''Mello absent today?" She asked meaningfully, letting the new teacher know how familiar she was with the school.


    The teacher was at once embarrassed. Smiling a little with regret, she said, "Yeah, today she is on leave and I am her substitute here. Sorry for the inconvenience. But I hope you can understand".


    Li Xue shook her head. "Oh no, no, I understand. I really appreciate the way you all are so protected for the children. This way is only good for their safety. Thank you for looking after them". She said gratefully before taking back her parent''s pass and gesturing to her daughter to bid her goodbye.
