As soon as the teachers' performance ended, Fang Yu hurriedly changed back into her regular clothes. Next up was the children's performance. Everyone had worked so hard rehearsing for so long, and everyone was hoping that the little ones could give their best.

When it was their class's turn to perform, Fang Yu lined up the children and hurriedly came down to the stage. Afraid that the children would forget the movements, she gestured to the music and led the children in their performance in front of the stage.

As the music started and the spotlight shone down, the children moved in perfect unison, even the most mischievous little boy's face was serious and focused.

As the performance ended, waves of applause erupted from the audience. Fang Yu felt a surge of emotion, as if her heart was overflowing. The performance was a success; all the hard work she and the children had put in over the past few days had paid off.

After the Children's Day performance ended, Fang Yu dragged her tired body out of the kindergarten gate. Thor leaned against the wall, holding a black camera in his hand.

"Why are you here?" Fang Yu asked, her eyes wide with surprise.

Thor straightened up, smiled, and waved the camera in his hand. "I heard that our teacher Fang is performing today, so I came to support you. I borrowed a friend's camera to take pictures of you on stage and also of you teaching the children backstage. I'll develop them and send them to you in a couple of days."

He had been watching her the whole time, and Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat for no reason. She subconsciously touched the heavy makeup on her face and said, "You've been watching me the whole time. My makeup is too heavy."

"You look good even with heavy makeup." Thor's eyes were especially sincere under the lights. "Really, you're particularly dazzling when you dance on stage."

"Let's go grab some late-night snacks." Thor leaned forward.

Fang Yu shook her head.

"I have to go back now, my mom will be looking for me if it gets late." Thor mimicked Fang Yu's quiet and obedient tone.

“No,” Fang Yu raised her hand, “it would be too strange for me to go out like this.” Fang Yu then lowered her hand.

"Teacher Fang wanted to hit me at kindergarten?" Thor grinned.

"I'm going home."

"I send you!"

"No need, I'll go back myself."

"No, it's so beautiful, you can't walk alone at night." Thor's tone left no room for negotiation. "Is there anything else at kindergarten?"

"there is none left."

"That's all, let's go."

"Fang Yu!" A colleague walked by, smiled at her, and then looked at Thor.

Thor waved and said, "Hi, teacher!"

My colleagues asked with gossipy looks, "What's this...?"

“Friend, come see the show,” Fang Yu explained.

"Oh, we're leaving now!" The colleagues winked and left.

"Goodbye!" "Let's go, let's go!" Fang Yu shook her head at Thor.

"Alright!" Thor led Fang Yu to the motorcycle.

As the motorcycle started up, the cool evening breeze swept over Fang Yu, dispelling her fatigue from the day.

The children's performance was a great success. The Children's Day performance was finally over. After another month of work, it would be summer vacation, a time to travel and play with Mom. Fang Yu felt wonderful just thinking about it.

Thor's hair was slightly disheveled by the wind, with the ends of his hair sticking up slightly at the back of his head, revealing a clearly defined neck that rose and fell gently with his breath. Thor was quite handsome.

Fang Yu took a deep breath; the evening breeze carried a faint scent of gardenias.

The road home wasn't far, and we arrived in no time. "It'll be cooler tonight, shall we go for a drive?" Thor said.

Fang Yu got out of the back seat. "No, are you going to work tomorrow?"

"I'll be at work tomorrow, but not the day after."

"Then let's have dinner together tomorrow night."

Thor immediately nodded, "Okay!" He looked at Fang Yu and couldn't help but add, "Seriously, you look really good today."

"I'm going upstairs to wash my face."

"Okay, go ahead, baby fish."

Fang Yu nodded and went upstairs.

Fang Yu removed her makeup and was about to take a shower when she looked up at the wall clock and saw that the hands were almost pointing to ten o'clock.

She felt a pang of worry; usually, her mother would have already closed the shop and gone home by this time.

Fang Yu walked to the kitchen. There was a sink by the kitchen window. Fang Yu stood on tiptoe and looked down at the path. Her mother always took this path home.

Fang Yu looked closely and saw Thor standing with his mother in the dim light of the street lamp.

Thor was talking non-stop, and Yu Jihong nodded occasionally and asked a few questions now and then.

Fang Yu stood frozen in place, her feet seemingly rooted to the spot. She wanted to go downstairs, but felt embarrassed, so she could only watch quietly through the glass.

After a while, Yu Jihong suddenly looked up at the building and saw Fang Yu. Fang Yu hurriedly dodged away, and when she craned her neck to look down again, Yu Jihong was saying goodbye to Lei Shen.

Fang Yu stood by the door waiting for her mother to come up. Hearing footsteps on the stairs, she immediately opened the door. "Mom, what were you talking about downstairs just now?"

Yu Jihong changed her shoes, a relieved smile on her face. "When I came back, I ran into Lei Feng. He called out to me, and we stood there chatting. He said he liked you."

Fang Yu's face instantly turned red.

“This young man is much more sincere than the last one.” Yu Jihong pulled Fang Yu to sit down on the sofa, her tone full of approval. “The last one was clearly pursuing you, but he didn’t dare to say a serious word to me. Lei Feng is different. He openly told me about his plans, saying that he was going to work for a construction company and wanted to start his own business in the future. He also said that he would work hard to make money and give you a good life in the future.”

Fang Yu lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers, feeling both nervous and sweet.

Yu Jihong patted her hand, "Mom thinks this young man is not bad."

"Mom, have you been bribed by him? You're even speaking well of him."

Yu Jihong slapped Fang Yu's hand. "Would I sell my own daughter? The fact that he's so sincere and open with the parents makes me feel really reassured and satisfied." Yu Jihong put her arm around Fang Yu's shoulder. "You can spend some time with him and try to get to know him."

Fang Yu nodded. "I'll treat him to dinner tomorrow."

“Okay, he did say that, and he even asked me if I was going?” Yu Jihong laughed as she said this.

Fang Yu smiled too, "Then are you coming along?"

"I'm not going!" Yu Jihong answered decisively.

Fang Yu took a shower and lay in bed, her mind filled with images of Thor. She hadn't expected him to tell her mother so much, but it was good that her mother knew. Now she didn't have to hide anything and could openly date.

Dating? Was she sure she wanted to date him? Fang Yu asked herself again. She was willing to date him.

On Saturday, Fang Yu didn't go to the store; instead, she lay on the sofa in her pajamas, eating an apple.

The phone rang. "Hello?"

"Baby Fish, are you home?"

How did you know my home phone number?

"You used this phone to page me that night."

"Oh, yes."

"I thought you should be resting at home today, so I'll give it a try. Baby Fish, I miss you."

"Won't we see him by evening?" Fang Yu covered her mouth as she said this.

Thor smiled and said, "I'll pick you up this evening. Wait for me at home."
