"Teacher, you and your husband have such a great relationship! You're out so late cultivating your relationship."
Tang Bai always speaks frankly and directly.
Mu Xiaocheng smiled awkwardly.
Ji Huaishen originally thought she was going to explain, but she didn't seem to be going to explain. Instead, she looked at the middle-aged man behind Tang Bai.
Who is this?
Ji Huaishen's eyes flickered, but she didn't offer any explanation.
Tang Bai responded with an "oh," as if he had just realized what was happening.
He turned sideways and introduced Mu Xiaocheng, "This is my dad."
"Dad, this is the famous comic artist I told you about, Mu Xiaocheng."
Tang Bai's father?
Mu Xiaocheng was genuinely surprised.
Tang Bai usually seems carefree and dresses very flamboyantly, so why...?
Tang's father had dark skin and, although not tall, looked very strong.
He limped forward a couple of steps, nodded earnestly to Mu Xiaocheng, and said, "Teacher Mu, my son Tang Bai thanks you for taking care of him."
"She often mentions you to me, saying that you are beautiful, and although you are famous, you are not arrogant and are very kind."
After being praised like that, Mu Xiaocheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
She waved her hand and said gently, "I'm actually just a half-baked teacher. Your Tang Bai is smart and talented."
Upon hearing this, Tang Bai raised his voice and said, "Are you guys just flattering each other?"
Tang's father gave her a reproachful look: "Speak properly to your teacher. How have I been teaching you all this time!"
His voice was full of energy, serious and earnest.
Tang Bai looked at Mu Xiaocheng and grinned, "That's just how my dad is. He's always spouting platitudes. He's an honest man."
Mu Xiaocheng glanced at the cart; it was quite old, suggesting that Tang's father had been selling roasted chestnuts for some time.
Are you going home or somewhere else?
Mu Xiaocheng changed the subject and asked curiously.
Tang Bai didn't feel awkward at all, and said casually, "It's time to pack up and go home."
As he spoke, Tang Bai curled his fingers around the small cart: "I'm usually at school or busy with other things, so I only help push the cart for him in the morning and evening. My dad has difficulty walking."
Upon hearing Tang Bai's words, Mu Xiaocheng's gaze once again fell on Tang's father.
Tang's father looked kind and honest, but those feet...
Seeing that the father and daughter were dressed very lightly, Mu Xiaocheng quickly said, "It's getting late and it's cold outside, you should go back quickly. We have to go too."
"We can chat on WeChat."
Hearing Mu Xiaocheng say that, Tang Bai nodded: "Okay, let's go then."
"Bye-Bye."
With that, Tang Bai pushed the cart forward.
Tang's father nodded to Mu Xiaocheng with a simple and honest smile.
He limped behind Tang Bai, the two seemingly having developed an excellent tacit understanding, their pace neither too fast nor too slow.
As Mu Xiaocheng watched their figures gradually disappear into the night, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
He murmured, "When I first saw Tang Bai, her flamboyant clothes and bold behavior made me think she was from a wealthy family, but I never expected..."
Ji Huaishen pulled her into his arms and said calmly, "People from families like this, some live the life they want, while others live a life that is despicable."
"You have a whole set of grand principles to share."
Mu Xiaocheng said without giving any face at all.
Ji Huaishen pinched her cheek, his eyes teasing, and said, "Then why don't you call me Dad?"
Mu Xiaocheng: "..."
That man deserves a beating.
