Chapter 174 Don’t Let Your Child Down

After hearing what Lu Yuanbao said, Chen Fengying was embarrassed. Her kindness became useless compared to a child's inner expectations.

"I don't know when Sister Chu and Sister Song will be back..."

Chen Fengying muttered softly, looking at Lu Yuanbao, who was so young and full of expectations. She was worried about leaving such a young child behind. After thinking for a while, she said, "Yuanbao, if you want to wait, I will wait with you!"

Chen Dazhuang also shouted, "I'll wait with you too! There's a bird's egg on that tree just now, and I haven't got it yet!"

This fat boy also has his own plans. He didn't stay for Lu Yuanbao. He just didn't have enough fun.

After Chen Dazhuang finished speaking, he wanted to run out, but Chen Fengying grabbed him by the back of the collar. "Don't even think about going out and doing something crazy again, you little brat! Just stand here. Look at Yuanbao, how quiet and sensible he is! You're really going to piss me off to death!"

Chen Dazhuang was strangled by the throat of fate and could not leave even if he wanted to. He could only stay where he was and "stand in punishment" and play on the sand on the ground.

Chen Fengying accompanied the two children and looked at Lu Yuanbao a few more times. She thought that although Lu Yuanbao and Chu Yue were not biological mother and son, their relationship was really beyond words.

Afterwards, the children in the school left one by one with their parents. Even if no one came to pick them up, they would leave with their friends.

The school gate, which was originally bustling with activity, gradually became deserted, with fewer and fewer people around.

Chen Fengying wanted to say "Yuanbao, let's go" several times, but looking at the expectation in Lu Yuanbao's eyes that never disappeared, she always felt that her words were too cruel and she didn't dare to say it out loud.

Wait, just wait a little longer.

As long as Chu Yue can come, all the waiting will be worth it.

What if Chu Yue can't come...

Chen Fengying didn't dare to think about this result because she couldn't bear to see Lu Yuanbao disappointed.

While waiting, Chen Fengying seemed more nervous and anxious than Lu Yuanbao, and even more impatient than such a young child.

Amidst the nervous worry and impatience, a shout suddenly came.

"Lu... Lu... Are you Captain Lu?" The one who shouted was a sister-in-law from the compound. She had obviously seen Lu Zhanlin before, but she spoke in a dazed tone of disbelief and looked at Lu Zhanlin carefully.

With this face, this figure, and this military uniform, who else could it be but Lu Zhanlin!

My sister-in-law exclaimed, "It really is Captain Lu! Captain Lu, are you here to pick up the child?"

Lu Zhanlin, who was handsome and elegant in his military uniform, suddenly became the focus of everyone around him. Not only the sisters-in-law were looking at him, but the mothers of other children around were also looking at Lu Zhanlin, staring at him with their eyes, it was so curious!

After all, in this era, it is popular for men to work outside and women to work inside, and taking care of children is women's job, so the people who come to pick up children at the school gate are all mothers, not a single father.

Lu Zhanlin is the only male among them.

In addition, Lu Zhanlin's appearance and temperament are far superior to those of ordinary men, so it is normal that he attracted all the mothers to look at him.

Under the scorching gazes of those around him, Lu Zhanlin nodded slightly to his familiar sister-in-law.

"Well, I'm here to pick up the kids."

The dignified Captain Lu is not only busy with official duties, but also has to pick up his children from school. If this gets out, it will definitely become headline news in the compound.

When Chen Fengying saw Lu Zhanlin, she rubbed her eyes, thinking that she was dazzled and saw things. She even suspected that Lu Zhanlin had a special mission and that was why he came to the school.

But seeing that Lu Zhanlin nodded and personally admitted that he was here to "pick up the child", there was no need to worry anymore.

Chen Fengying shouted excitedly, "Captain Lu is here! Yuanbao, look, Captain Lu is here to pick you up!"

Chen Dazhuang also became excited, "Yuanbao, it's your dad! It's your dad! Your dad is here to pick you up from school!"

Under the envious and watchful gazes of the people around him, Lu Zhanlin walked up to Lu Yuanbao.

He touched Lu Yuanbao's head and said, "Yuanbao, I'm here to take you home."

Lu Yuanbao looked up at Lu Zhanlin, his black eyes motionless, as if he was trying to confirm whether Lu Zhanlin really existed. After all, Lu Zhanlin had been so busy in recent days that he had not been seen.

The warmth coming from Lu Zhanlin's palm made Lu Yuanbao's tense face slowly relax.

But his eyes were still looking behind Lu Zhanlin.

He wanted to see another person in that position, her smile, and the gentle voice that would call him "Yuanbao".

"Dad, where's Mom?"

"Mom is busy and can't come back for the time being. I'll tell you the details when I get home. It was Mom who notified me to pick you up."

Lu Zhanlin was a cold and tough man who was not good at speaking, so he just gave a brief account of the situation.

In fact, when Song Hongmei sent Li Weiguo and Xue Zhanlin back to the military camp to get medical supplies, Chu Yue had been thinking about the promise she had made to Lu Yuanbao, and specifically asked Li Weiguo and Xue Zhanlin to pass a message to Lu Zhanlin.

Chu Yue's original words were, "Today is Yuanbao's first day of school. You must go pick him up from school! Remember, remember, remember, don't miss the time, otherwise Yuanbao will be sad. Don't let the child down."

Previously, Lu Zhanlin was filled with regret because he was unable to celebrate the Lantern Festival with Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao due to an accident on the night of the Lantern Festival.

Now Chu Yue was delayed by an unexpected event again. She didn't want Lu Yuanbao to regret it again. After all, a child's first day of school only happens once in his life.

Letting Lu Zhanlin pick up the child instead of Chu Yue is a compromise.

Lu Yuanbao was very happy when he saw Lu Zhanlin, but when he heard that Chu Yue could not come, he suddenly became lonely, and the look of loss could not be hidden on his little face.

Just at this moment.

"ah--"

Lu Yuanbao let out a small cry of surprise because he was picked up.

Lu Zhanlin was tall and strong. Lu Yuanbao, sitting on his arm, was half a head taller than Lu Zhanlin, as if he had suddenly flown up. When people around him looked at him, they all had to look up, and the scene he saw was also different.

Which little boy doesn’t want to become tall and big? Lu Yuanbao’s depressed mood was instantly interrupted and he had a novel feeling.

Lu Zhanlin hugged him, "Yuanbao, let's go home!"

Chen Fengying was finally relieved and said cheerfully, "Yes, yes, let's go home! Let's all go home. It's really rare today to see Captain Lu coming to pick up the children..."

"Yuanbao, you're so tall..." Chen Dazhuang looked up at Lu Yuanbao with envy, "Even when my dad carried me on his high horse, I wasn't this tall!"

At first, Lu Yuanbao didn't realize that he was the most special one. After listening to Chen Dazhuang's words, he looked around and found that the child staring at him was not only Chen Dazhuang, but also many others, and their eyes were full of envy.

Being envied... So this is what it feels like.
