Xiao Lu should be at school by now!

Thinking about it, she picked up her phone and dialed Lu Qingzhou's number!

"Hey, Xiao Lu, have you arrived at school yet?"

Lu Qingzhou: "I'm at the school gate."

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Shaohua said, "Then I'll wait for you at the company square!"

The two chatted for a few minutes before hanging up the phone!

...

at this time,

'Green Apple Kindergarten,'

Lu Qingzhou held two small dolls in his hands, looking around the campus with his head held high.

To be honest, I'm a little excited!

In the past, picking up the kids was somewhat of a task to complete.

But starting today, things are different!

This is truly picking up one's own child!

The feelings are definitely self-evident!

Finally, school was over.

Watching the teachers lead their respective classes of children out!

Lu Qingzhou hurriedly squeezed into the first spot at the school gate!

Far away,

Then we saw Ms. Xu Xiaoli, the homeroom teacher of Class 1, leading the children of Class 1 toward the school gate!

Lu Qingzhou's gaze kept moving between the children.

Finally, we spotted Momo and Zhouzhou in the second row from the middle!

A look of joy immediately appeared on his face!

Xu Xiaoli escorted each child to their parents one by one!

soon,

The two little girls also saw Lu Qingzhou standing at the school gate.

He happily called out "Daddy!"

They ran happily toward him!

When he saw the two little girls looking at him with those innocent and pure eyes,

Lu Qingzhou's heart melted instantly.

He opened his arms,

Slowly squat down.

As if afraid of disturbing the most precious treasure in the world,

The movements were as gentle as a breeze gliding across a lake.

His large hands gently and carefully stroked those two soft little heads.

Every tiny gesture is filled with boundless love and tenderness.

My thoughts involuntarily drifted back to those long five years.

Thinking about how these two little girls haven't experienced fatherly love in the past five years...

Shi Luqingzhou's heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.

Waves of excruciating pain spread through his chest.

There was self-blame, guilt, and relief, but more than anything, there was a deep touch of warmth in the moment and a belated fatherly love.
