Fortunately, Li Qiao turned his head quickly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yao also saw the girl who was with little Li Yao. He didn't like her, but he didn't care too much because she was just a two-year-old child.

Li Qiao tapped the side of the phone with his fingertips, looking forward.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt like someone was watching her. Could it be some kind of aftereffect?

——

"You two just came back at this time? Did you go out to play somewhere?"

When the sun set, the temperature dropped and there was a little wind. Mu Mu's grandmother took Mu Mu to play downstairs. When she saw Li Qiao and Li Yao coming home, she greeted them with a smile.

"I went to the Children's Palace." Li Qiao answered concisely.

Mu Mu's grandmother was surprised: "You went there at such a young age?"

"Boys are better. They are smart and can learn things quickly. Unlike my Mu Mu, who is three and a half years old and the teacher says she is stupid." Mu Mu's grandmother was full of emotion.

Mu Mu's biological mother ran away with someone, and her father married a stepmother. The stepmother and her father have been married for more than two years, but there has been no movement in her pregnancy. Mu Mu's grandmother wanted to hold her grandson but was just anxious.

"Boys and girls are the same, it's just that children start to learn at different times." Li Qiao said, looking down at the dirty little girl. Her clothes seemed to be old and the braid on her head was crooked.

"Are Mumu's clothes too small? Aren't you going to buy her a new one?"

Mu Mu's grandmother didn't take it seriously and waved her hand, saying, "Kids look different every day now. Why waste that money? These clothes belong to her cousin when she was little. They're still new. It would be a shame to throw them away."

"Hey, Xiao Qiao, is your Xiao Yao going to kindergarten in September?"

Li Qiao thought about it. At that time, Li Yao was about two years and five months old. He could go to kindergarten, but whether the little guy could adapt was still a question.

"While we have this plan, it still depends on Xiaoyao's opinion."

When Mu Mu's grandmother heard this, she smiled happily, "That's great, I want my Mu Mu to go back to kindergarten. Then he can go to school with your Xiao Yao, so he can take care of him, right?"

Li Qiao smiled and politely replied, "We'll see when the time comes. We haven't chosen a kindergarten yet."

Mu Mu's grandmother choked. What else can I choose for kindergarten? Since the apartment complex is in the school district, wouldn't it be inconvenient for me to go to the designated kindergarten?

"You have to choose carefully. By the way, my daughter sent some seafood this afternoon. Can you give some to me?" She was trying to make the offer, but in fact she was just being polite.

Li Qiao was not without tact and refused, "Don't bother. I don't want to chat with you anymore. The kids have played all day and need to go back and rest."

She picked up the confused little Li Yao who was still lying on the ground and walked away in big strides, twice as fast as before. She soon turned the corner and in the blink of an eye, Grandma Mu Mu could no longer see the backs of the mother and son.

Little Li Yao didn't look tired at all when he returned home. He followed his mother like a little tail.

He followed Li Qiao when she washed vegetables, he followed Li Qiao when she cooked, he followed Li Qiao when she served dishes...

At the last meal, I was fed a large mouthful of vegetables.

Little Li Yao: “…” No need to bite, just close your eyes and swallow it.

After dinner and digestion, Li Qiao rolled up his sleeves to wash the little guy clean.

The little person in the bathtub is white and tender. He is still a little shy, but he is quite relaxed and is entertaining himself by playing with the little yellow duck in the water.

When I rubbed the little guy's armpit, he shrank his neck and giggled. The child's pure laughter seemed to reach the sky through the window.

The moon is quietly hidden in the clouds, and the stars are shining in the night sky, telling people that tomorrow will be a sunny day.

There are only two of us at home, mother and son, and we live an ordinary life. We don't pursue high-end brands for clothes, as long as they are comfortable. We don't eat expensive food, but only the freshest fruits and vegetables sold by farmers, as long as they are healthy.

The simple atmosphere of human life is plain and warm.

…

——

Little Li Yao is about to become a little painter. He will formally start learning painting because he said that he wants to draw many pictures of his mother and give the pictures to her as gifts.

He is a quiet child. He likes painting because he can be alone and quietly immerse himself in his own world.

The children who have found their hobbies are finally no longer bored and just lie on the sofa playing.

He didn't like playing with toy cars, but when he came into contact with painting, he began to swim in the ocean of knowledge and never got tired of it.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Qiao took Li Yao to the Children's Palace again. This time, there were many children learning to paint together, and parents could watch from the side.

In fact, if you pay extra, you can get one-on-one teaching, but considering that Li Yao is too introverted, it is better for him to be with other children, and maybe he can make a lot of friends.

Su Anran is here too.

She had a smile on her face, but the resentment in her heart was greater than that of a ghost.

What the hell?

Class starts at nine o'clock?

Do you dare to come earlier?

You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. She really put in a lot of effort to get along well with the little villain, otherwise she should be sleeping better than a pig on the soft big bed at this time.

"Li Yao! You're here!"

With a cute expression on her face, she looks like a two-year-old kid.

Li Yao curled his fingers and nodded: "Good morning, Ning Ning."

"Good morning, can we sit together during class?"

Su Anran half-pulled him to sit in the corner of the third row from the back. That place was great and secluded.

"Aunt Li, let's go play."

She said this with her back to Li Qiao. There was no other way. She didn't dare to look Li Qiao in the eye. Although the system said that no one could see her flaws, she was still afraid.

Maybe it’s because whenever I look into Li Qiao’s eyes, I always think of the pain of having my soul torn away.

The protective shell of her two-year-old child is perfect. The "host" the system found for her is a very beautiful child, who is easy to let down one's guard. All she needs to do is control her mature eyes.

The young boy Li Yao was following Li Qiao, but during class, Li Qiao saw that her son was studying very seriously, so she quietly got up and left.

Li Yao wanted to follow, but he was forced to fall back after taking just one step, as if reminding him that he had exceeded the range of movement.

The familiar figure gradually disappeared from his sight. The young man lowered his head silently, and a strong sense of dejection emanated from his whole body.

Wutong Cafe is just across from the Children's Palace. It's almost time. Li Qiao has to go to a date and will be back before get out of class is over.

The child's life is back on track, and her own life is also getting back on track.

Living off one's savings is fine, but living off one's savings is dangerous; making money from money is king. And sometimes money alone isn't enough. She has ambitions and needs a certain social status to make her son's life more stable.

There are many entrepreneurial opportunities, and she plans to return to her roots. Li Qiao agrees that it's better to push yourself than to push your children.

Sitting by the window of the Wutong Cafe was a haggard man with a tired face and looking very old. He rubbed his hands and looked around.

Seeing a beautiful figure in the distance, he suddenly stood up and walked forward a few steps to greet her.

"Li Qiao, do you still remember me?"
