Xiao Wang turned to them and said, "We're going a little earlier than usual today, how about we go to An'an first?"
Lu Zhixia said, "Let's go to school first! Adults can wait, but children can't."
After hearing this, Xiao Wang nodded to indicate that he understood. He was just too eager to see Zhou An'an.
The saying "a day apart feels like three autumns" perfectly describes his current feelings!
We arrived at the school gate quickly. There weren't many vendors today; only one person was clearly selling ice cream.
Lu Zhixia timed it perfectly, seeing that the students were about to leave school, before opening the car door, going to the ice cream stand, buying six ice creams, and then putting them away in the car.
Just then, the bell rang, signaling that school was over.
I thought I'd have to wait a while, but it turns out Gu Huailin was among the first to run out today, without his female classmate by his side.
After the child got on the bus, Lu Zhixia wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.
Why are you out so early today?
"I missed you all so much, so I came out early." Gu Huailin looked at them. He couldn't concentrate on class today. Ever since he learned the truth, he had been feeling uneasy.
He was terrified that the woman would appear and take him away, but thankfully she didn't.
The little girl with her schoolbag came to the car and knocked on the window.
Gu Huailin, "What's wrong, class monitor?"
Tao Haixia handed over the pencil case in her hand, saying, "This is for you. I was afraid someone would see it, so I can only give it to you now."
Looking at the pretty pencil case, Gu Huailin was a little confused.
Why did you give me a pencil case?
Tao Haixia said, "Thank you for helping me that day, otherwise I would have been burned. My mother said I should give you a pencil case."
Lu Zhixia thought the little girl spoke very politely and had a particularly pleasant voice, so she seemed to have a good upbringing.
"May I have your name!"
"Hello, Auntie, my name is Tao Haixia! I'm Gu Huailin's class monitor."
"Nice name."
"Thank you for the compliment, Auntie. I've finished my business, so I'll be going now."
"Wait a minute!" Gu Huailin called out to the person, then took out a pen from his bag. "This is my return gift."
Tao Haixia said, "The pencil case is a gift for you, you don't need to give me anything!"
Gu Huailin shoved the pen into her hand. "My mother also told me that if someone gives me something, I should give something back. That's called reciprocity!"
Tao Haixia looked at the fountain pen in her hand; it was quite pretty, costing at least two or three yuan, much more valuable than her pencil case.
"But this is too expensive."
Lu Zhixia could tell that the girl wasn't greedy, so she smiled and said...
"Child, don't worry about taking it! This is indeed how I taught Xiaolin; it's the way to conduct oneself in society."
"Alright, I'll take it!" Tao Haixia put the pen into her schoolbag; she actually quite liked it. Then she waved to them, "Goodbye Auntie, goodbye Uncle, goodbye Xiaolinzi." She looked at the driver, "Goodbye Driver!"
"Goodbye, good boy," Lu Zhixia replied.
They watched as the little girl turned and skipped away, clearly very happy.
Xiao Wang couldn't help but say, "If I ever have a little girl who is as well-behaved and sensible as this child, and also beautiful, I'll be overjoyed!"
Gu Lingxiao felt the same way; how wonderful it would be to have a daughter. He patted Xiao Wang on the head.
"You can dream about anything tonight, so let's get going!"
After being hit, Xiao Wang quickly turned around and drove off to pick up Zhou An'an. Thinking back to last night—
He now has boundless energy.
They arrived downstairs quickly, but after waiting for a while, no one showed up.
Xiao Wang panicked, "What's going on? They'd usually be downstairs by now."
Lu Zhixia said, "Then go upstairs and see if anyone is home."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang hurriedly opened the car door and got out. Ever since that incident, he had been particularly worried about Zhou An'an's safety.
Zhou An'an walked this way and happened to see Xiao Wang, so he quickly shouted,
"I'm here!"
Xiao Wang quickly pulled back his foot, nearly falling as he lost his footing.
Zhou An'an ran a few steps and helped the person up, saying, "How can someone so grown up be so careless?"
"Why are you only just getting back?" Xiao Wang asked.
Zhou An'an thought about what had happened today, which she couldn't finish talking about in a short time, so she told them, "I'll go upstairs to change my clothes first, and I'll be right down in less than 5 minutes."
"Then I'll go back to the car and wait for you," Xiao Wang said.
Zhou An'an stopped arguing with them and quickly went upstairs.
She was wondering whether or not to tell Song Weidong about it.
He hesitated, wondering if Lu Zhixia would soften her heart if she found out.
I quickly changed my clothes and went downstairs. Only after getting into the car did I dare to breathe heavily.
