The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao chuckled and sat down in his chair after Kylie waved at him. He was called cheeky by the teacher but it was not a bad thing. At least, he got her to smile. The teacher became more enthusiastic, and she resolved the doubts of the students one by one.

Computer Operations was a subject that was completely on a different level and the students had a lot of problems on some topics. Yang Dao was the only one who read the book on his desk in silence. He would eventually point things out to Kiya. Nothing else.

During the class, he noticed that the teacher was sitting in her chair, looking at the students, but her gaze was listless. She was lost in her mind. He decided to ask her after the class finished. The time passed by quickly and the bell rang. However, Kylie Dew did not react. Somewhere along the time, she had placed her head on the small table in front of her and her eyes were closed.

The students stood up however, they all could not leave before the teacher does. Usually, it was the teacher catching students sleeping, but today the tables have turned. They all did not say anything but kept looking at each other. If they woke her up, it will be embarrassing the teacher, and it was not a good thing.

Yang Dao sighed and stood up from his seat. He waved his hand and gave them a quiet signal. Then signaled them to leave the class silently and he will take responsibility. The students nodded and walked out of the classroom. The whole movement was completed smoothly. He walked to the teacher and gently tapped on her shoulder.

He spoke in a soft voice, “Kylie, wake up.”

After they become friends on the balcony of his house, they have been on a first-name basis when alone. His voice was softer than the class bell, yet it woke up the lady from her sound sleep. Kylie raised her head, looked around, and found herself in the classroom. After a few seconds, her brain processed what happened, and she sat up straight with a blush on her face.

She asked Yang Dao in a low voice, “Did they all see me like this?”

Yang Dao nodded, and the blush on Kylie’s face became even stronger. She asked, “Why did you not leave?”

The boy smiled and replied, “I wanted to talk to you. I have known you to be a graceful and dedicated teacher inside the classroom. today is the first time I saw you like this and your condition worried me a lot. So, tell me, what is going on with you, and do you need any help?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

Kylie Dew was overcome with warmth with the words she heard. Her eyes glistened with tears. She shook her head and said, “No, it is not a big problem. Just that I am trying to move forward but I cannot.”

Her voice was shivering, and she was almost crying. Yang Dao said, “Why does it sound like a love affair?”

Kylie Dew gave him a death stare and made him fall silent. She was enraged to hear this. She said, “You, you better keep your trap shut. Do you know that you are the first human I ever kissed? I almost surrendered myself to you. You moron, and where were you? Traveling the world with no contact and no information. You had the face to ask me to monitor your AI? Ungrateful boy…”

The more she spoke, the louder she became. Yang Dao did not interrupt and kept on listening to her. He was aware of what was going on. He suddenly leaned forward and hugged Kylie Dew across the desk. Her head touched his chest, and she was stunned. This warm embrace came to her a little too suddenly. She had no time to figure out how to react.

Yang Dao was hearing all her complaints and said, “I apologize for neglecting you. I assure you that it was not deliberate on my side. It’s just that I have been busy. Please forgive me.” his voice was as warm as his embrace.

Kylie Dew was subdued completely, and she could only hum in response. When has she ever been consoled so warmly by a male? She said, “It is okay, the fault is mine. I should have understood that we are friends and could have taken the initiative to call you up.”

Yang Dao nodded and said, “Well, I will try to be around frequently in the future. Now you get yourself together. I will go now. We have an event in the evening. You should come too, but there will be a lot of media, so do look after your appearance.”

He loosened his arms around her and let go of the embrace. Kylie Dew heard his words and said, “You look down on me too much. If not for periods, do you think I would have been like this? Humph, go away and get ready to behold my beauty.”

Yes, Kylie Dew was on periods and when she saw that Yang Dao was back, but he still did not contact her on his own, she was depressed and grumpy. Her mind was flooded with negative thoughts and could not sleep peacefully these days. However, Yang Dao came to the class, and all the pent-up frustration was released on him when he woke her up.

Yang Dao chuckled and after picking up his books, he walked out of the classroom. He was headed to the principal office to get Aislinn Jasper to the event platform. As a principal, she must attend this event, and he, as a junior, took it over himself to escort her to the place.

The whole campus was lit up and the hustle excited the people. When they heard that Dao Technologies was going to hold an event on the campus, they were eager to watch how things would play.
