Because of Uncle Zhou's kind invitation, Ke Jin finally stayed for lunch.
Ke Jin was embarrassed to eat the ready-made food, so he went to the kitchen to help cook a few of his signature dishes. When the food was served, the other three took a bite and couldn't stop eating.
"Brother Ke Jin, the food you cook is so delicious!" Su Xiaolan had just chatted with Ke Jin and was quite familiar with him, so she stopped using the honorific "Mr. Ke". She was eating happily, with her cheeks puffed up. "This is almost as good as a master chef!"
Ke Jin scratched his face embarrassedly: "Thank you for the compliment."
"This craft is really good, not inferior to my husband's." Uncle Zhou said with a smile, "If any girl can marry Xiao Ke in the future, she will be blessed."
"It doesn't have to be a girl, it could be a boy." Su Xiaolan stuck out her tongue and smiled meaningfully, "Didn't Azure Star pass the same-sex marriage law a few years ago? It's normal for a boy to marry a boy, hahaha, don't you think so, brother?"
Su Yufeng looked at his mischievous sister speechlessly and ate silently without saying a word. Uncle Zhou laughed and tapped Su Xiaolan's forehead hard.
"Girl, you are well-informed about this mess of information."
"Uncle Zhou, you are too conservative," Su Xiaolan made a face, "Be careful or you will become more and more out of date, humph!"
Ke Jin was thinking about going to Xingchen International School in the afternoon, and was very absent-minded. He didn't hear the discussion of these people at all. After finishing the meal, he helped Uncle Zhou clean up the kitchen, then stood up and said goodbye.
The parent-teacher meeting for Xingchen International Primary School was held earlier than that for Junior High School, so Uncle Zhou and his friends did not try to keep Ke Jin. They just gave him a few words of advice and said goodbye.
When Ke Jin was walking out, a young girl just walked in from the courtyard gate. She was wearing a white dress, with a beautiful face and a cold and proud temperament, like an iceberg snow lotus. People only dared to admire her from afar and did not dare to get close to her easily.
When she saw Ke Jin, the girl's pair of light blue eyes that seemed as cold as ice suddenly became disturbed. She stared at Ke Jin's face until Ke Jin's gaze turned towards her. Then she withdrew her gaze as if nothing had happened and continued walking forward.
After Ke Jin completely disappeared outside the door, the girl stopped, turned around and stared in the direction where the black-haired young man disappeared, while gently pressing a black snowflake-shaped earring on her earlobe with her hand.
After a moment's wait, a mellow and magnetic male voice soon came to my ears.
"What is it, Ryoyuki?"
"Boss, I saw the card user in the snack card pool." The girl whispered.
"Hmm?" The voice on the other end was slightly surprised. "Are you talking about Ke Jin? Did he go to Su Yufeng's card pool?"
"Yes," the girl replied, "but he has already left. I passed him at the door."
The other end hesitated for a moment, then said firmly.
"Just focus on Su Yufeng's affairs first, and don't worry about other things for now."
"Okay, boss."
The girl stroked her earrings again, took one last look at the gate, then turned around and continued walking towards the card pool.
***
Primary School of Star International School.
1:30 pm.
Mu Qian felt her head starting to hurt again.
After the start of this semester, she was assigned to the primary school department and became the head teacher of Grade 3 Class 2. She thought that the children in the primary school department would not be as difficult to teach as the rebellious junior high school students, and it would be much easier for her, but she never expected that -
"Student Ounuo," Mu Qian tried to curl her lips and force a smile with what she thought was the kindest expression, as parents kept coming into the classroom. "You said your parents are not coming? So you want to go back now?"
"Yes." The blond boy, carrying his schoolbag, looked at his head teacher calmly, "He said he was very busy and couldn't come to school."
Mu Qian took a deep breath and tried to maintain her smile: "Then did you tell him that he should at least call me and ask for leave in person? Did you tell your parents my contact number? Did you?"
“Yes.” The boy didn’t even blink, “But as I said, he’s very busy, very busy, so leave it to me to ask for leave. Teacher, I’ll ask for leave for him, he won’t be here today.”
"Is he really so busy that he doesn't even have time to call me??"
The boy nodded: "Teacher Mu, you have asked the same question three times. Your memory is so bad, do you want to go to the hospital?"
Mu Qian: “…”
"Oh, by the way," the boy continued in a clear voice, as if he didn't notice the increasingly ugly expression on the female teacher's face, "Although there is indeed no class today, Teacher Mu, you sprayed too much perfume. Can you not get too close to me? I will feel sick."
This stinky brat!!
Mu Qian was so furious that she swore she had never seen a more hateful child than Ounuo. Ever since she taught this class, her blood pressure rose sharply. She would not find it strange at all if she fainted from anger and was sent to the hospital one day.
But Mu Qian really couldn't do anything about the other party.
Because if you really want to find fault, Ou Nuo did not violate the school rules. Although his classmates were scared to death of him, they could not find any evidence that he bullied his classmates. Sometimes when Mu Qian looked at the boy, she could not help but feel uneasy inside - that look was not like that of an ordinary nine-year-old child, especially when he was impatient, even saying a few more words would make people feel pressured and want to run away immediately.
Seeing that the meeting time was approaching, Mu Qian had no way to deal with Ou Nuo and could only speak weakly.
"Okay, you...you can go now."
The boy finally showed a smug smile, but just as he took a step forward, he suddenly stopped where he was, with a look of astonishment on his face.
It was the first time that Mu Qian saw this little devil with such a flustered expression. She turned her head subconsciously and saw a black-haired young man walking towards her in a hurry. He looked young, only in his early twenties, with a handsome face and a gentle temperament. He started to apologize before he even approached.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late. Are you Teacher Mu?"
Mu Qian was a little slow to react, and said blankly: "You are...?"
"Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is Ke Jin, and I'm Ounuo's current guardian."
When Mu Qian first saw the person in front of her, she felt that he looked very familiar. Before she could recall where she had seen him before, she was completely attracted by the other person's last sentence.
"Are you Ounuo's parent?"
"Yes, yes." Ke Jin nodded repeatedly and turned to look at the boy, his eyes lingering on the small schoolbag he was carrying.
"Ounuo, where are you going?" Ke Jin looked at Ounuo with a smile, his voice very kind.
Oloy: “…”
The usually fearless Fourth Prince shuddered subconsciously, feeling a chill running down his spine.
Uh, this guy Ke Jin seems to be angry.
...and still very, very angry.
Mu Qian had seen Ou Nuo's bad temper before, and thought his parents were also unreasonable. However, she did not expect that the young man in front of her was surprisingly polite and had a good personality. She could no longer vent the anger that had been aroused by Ou Nuo. The two chatted for a few words in a friendly manner, and then Ke Jin pulled Ou Nuo into the classroom.
"Why are you here?" Oroi asked in a low voice.
Ke Jin glanced at him, the smile on his face gone: "Why can't I come? Are you afraid that I will embarrass you?"
The boy stopped talking.
"Did you get into trouble at school, so you're hiding this? You hid something as important as the parent-teacher conference from me!"
"No." The boy curled his lips, "I'm too lazy to cause trouble. They are just a bunch of little brats. It's a waste of time to bother with them."
The two of them were mumbling to each other, and in a blink of an eye, they walked to Ounuo's seat. The seats in the classroom were all single tables, and this time a parent came, so a small stool was temporarily placed next to the student's seat.
After Ke Jin pulled Ou Nuo to sit down, someone immediately patted Ke Jin on the shoulder from behind.
"You are... Mr. Ke, the card envoy of the snack card pool in Dadas Town, right?"
Ke Jin turned around and saw a kind-looking auntie sitting in the back. Many parents and students of Xingchen International School have been to his card pool, so Ke Jin smiled and replied, "Yes, I am the card envoy of 'Xiao Ke Snacks Card Pool'. Have you been to my card pool?"
"Yes, yes!" Auntie suddenly became excited, "Oh, I didn't expect to see you here! The snacks in your card pool are really delicious, my whole family likes them!" She looked at Ou Nuo with a suspicious look on her face, "This child is..."
"Oh, he's my friend's child," Ke Jin was almost numb from explaining after being misunderstood so many times, "He's not mine."
Auntie laughed heartily, very familiarly: "Haha, that's what I said, you look so young, and you don't look like someone with children...Mr. Ke, are you married now?"
"Uh, no..." Ke Jin was embarrassed - this topic was a bit too broad, and Auntie's thoughts were so jumpy!
"That's right. Young people get married late nowadays." Auntie said cheerfully, "You have a girlfriend, right?"
"Uh, no..." Ke Jin thought to himself, he is a pure bachelor, not to mention that he has no girlfriend in this world, he has never had one before... Oh, he suddenly felt so sad.
The aunt was stunned for a moment, as if she had just gotten to know Ke Jin all over again. She looked him up and down, and said in a subtle and very lost tone.
"Oh, so you're dating a boyfriend."
Ke Jin: “…”
Ke Jin: "...Of course this is even more impossible."
This auntie has very avant-garde ideas! ——Ke Jin had a blank expression on the surface, but he was complaining crazily in his heart——How can a normal person immediately associate the other party with a man after the other party said that he didn’t have a girlfriend? ? What kind of logic is this? ? ?
"What? Really?" Auntie immediately opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Mr. Ke, you are so outstanding, but you don't have a date yet? No, it's impossible??..."
There was a vague sense of familiarity. Ke Jin barely pulled the corner of his mouth and brought out the excuse that single people always use: "I'm busy. I don't have time to talk about this."
"How can this be possible! Although career is important, love life cannot be neglected either! Besides, the busier you are, the more you need someone to accompany you, to support and warm each other, so that the relationship you have along the way will be more sincere and solid! When you are really successful, who knows whether those people who come to you are really interested in you as a person, or just for money?"
Ke Jin: “…”
Actually, it makes sense...
"I work in a hospital, and there are many outstanding single young people around me, handsome men and beautiful women, and they are all very good at business. Would you like me to introduce you to some of them?" The aunt said enthusiastically, with a very positive attitude. "Many of them have also been to your card pool, and they are all very happy to get to know you better. What do you think, Mr. Ke?"
As expected! ! Ke Jin almost slapped his thigh - he was thinking how come the conversation was getting more and more familiar, it turns out that the trend of aunties and grandmas being keen on matchmaking is universal in the universe? It really is a familiar formula, familiar taste, familiar routine...
"Mom, stop talking..." The little boy sitting next to his aunt tugged at his mother's sleeve. He felt that his classmate Ounuo had been glaring at them angrily, with a gloomy face and eyes that seemed to be spitting fire. The boy was so scared that his legs went limp. "Mom, the teacher is coming in. Let's stop talking QAQ..."
