As soon as Teacher Bai left, the truck delivering the piano was also about to depart.
Ye Xi took the children to a clear space on the side and stood well out of the way, waiting for the truck to pass.
The truck slowly approached the gate, the driver wound down the window and exchanged a few words with the security guard before waving goodbye.
No sooner had the truck gone than the security guard also left, carrying his thermos to fetch some water from inside.
A child unable to contain himself walked over, tugging at Ye Xi's hand, and asked, "Teacher, can we keep playing the game of Eagle Catches Chicks? I haven't had enough."
Seeing the child's flushed little face and the excitement yet to fade from his eyes, Ye Xi's heart softened, and she nodded, "You can play, but don't run too fast, or you'll fall."
The little friends immediately cheered up, automatically forming a line, each holding onto another.
The whole area was filled with the children's laughter.
