“I’m divorced from his mother, so no mother will come to pick him up,” Southwest answered honestly.
Teacher Lin looked at Duo Duo with pity in her eyes. Such a young child has no mother to take care of her, so she should take better care of her.
So, as soon as get out of class ended, all Duoduo could think about was Teacher Lin: "Dad, Teacher Lin gave me cookies."
"Dad, Teacher Lin is putting me to sleep, she's only putting me to sleep, okay?"
"Dad, Teacher Lin praised me today. She said I was good. Look, this is a little red flower."
"Dad, Teacher Lin today..."
Southwest found it amusing; when did this child become so lively? It seemed that Teacher Lin was truly dedicated to her duties.
Teacher Lin is very kind to Duo Duo, and Yan Xinan felt that he should buy some gifts for the teacher to express his gratitude.
We wandered around the department store for a long time, buying clothes, pants, shoes, and all sorts of snacks and treats for Duoduo and Wujinban.
I selected some of these snacks, wrapped them in oil paper, and gave them to Teacher Lin when I picked up my child.
Southwest always felt that Duoduo was a pitiful child, who had basically never enjoyed a mother's love except for his own mother and Nannan.
But Teacher Lin, like a mother, cared about Duo Duo's cold and warmth, joy and happiness.
Even Tang's mother was satisfied; this little teacher was so dedicated that she even remembered exactly how many times Duoduo washed her face each day.
Liu Lili began to worry. She sensed that Teacher Lin was getting restless, and Teacher Lin had a much closer advantage than she did.
She couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Yan Xinan. She had been so straightforward, yet that blockhead remained completely unmoved.
In fact, Yan Xinan was also regretting it. He regretted giving the pastries to Teacher Lin, who seemed to have ulterior motives as well.
Ever since I gave her the candy and pastries, Teacher Lin has been talking to me through Duoduo from time to time, saying that Duoduo has made progress one day and that Duoduo has regressed the next.
He could have just said it, but the way he acted and his tone made him seem like he was talking to someone else. Southwest was dumbfounded.
In the end, it was all his own carelessness. He was simply expressing his gratitude for the care she had given him.
But that pastry had become a stepping stone for Teacher Lin to get closer to him.
Every time I pick Duoduo up from school, my heart trembles when I meet Teacher Lin's affectionate gaze.
As a result, it was always Mrs. Tang who picked up and dropped off Duo Duo. When Mrs. Tang was unavailable, Tang Jianjun would pick her up and drop her off. Teacher Lin could only stare at Duo Duo with resentment.
"Duoduo, why didn't your dad bring you here today?"
“My dad has to go to school and doesn’t have time to take me.”
"Will your dad pick you up tonight?"
"I don't know either."
"How about your dad brings you tomorrow?"
"Okay, but I can't guarantee that, Dad is too busy."
Teacher Lin, this child.
On a sunny afternoon, Liu Lili rode her bicycle to the Beijing Furniture Factory. The security guard asked her where she was looking for Factory Director Yan.
Southwest didn't know why Liu Lili had come, but since she was a guest, they invited her in.
The two sat down in the factory director's office. Liu Lili picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, glanced at Southwest, and sighed inwardly.
“Southwest, I came here today to tell you that I really want to date you. My father died early, and my mother raised us children alone.”
Southwest felt a mix of emotions; Liu Lili's mother must have had a very hard life.
“I’m the eldest child, so I raised my younger siblings. Because I had to support my family, I never looked for a partner.”
“Now my younger brother has taken over my mother’s job, my younger sister has been admitted to a vocational school, and my younger brother will graduate from junior high school soon, so I want to think about myself.”
Southwest glanced at Liu Lili and asked, "Liu Lili, how old are you this year?"
Liu Lili smiled wryly: "I'm already twenty-eight years old this year, so don't tell me you're not good enough for me."
"And I want to be your girlfriend. I really want to build a good life with you. A woman always needs to find herself a home, right?"
Yan Xinan sighed inwardly. He was over thirty years old, and he couldn't always leave his mother and teacher's wife to take care of his child.
"Liu Lili, let's give it a try first, and then decide whether to date if it works out."
Liu Lili was a little disappointed, but at least the other party had agreed to spend time together. However, there were still some things she needed to say.
"I heard you're getting quite close to Teacher Lin from kindergarten, and you've even given her gifts. Do you like Teacher Lin?"
Sweat dripped down Southwest's forehead. It wasn't a misunderstanding. How old was that Teacher Lin? She must be young and ignorant, just blindly liking him.
"Liu Lili, I did give Teacher Lin something. It was pastries, as a way of thanking her for her care and concern."
Liu Lili nodded. If that were the case, it would mean that Teacher Lin also had the same feelings for Yan Xinan.
"Yan Xinan, I want to ask you a few questions. I'll ask, and you'll answer. You must tell the truth, okay?"
Yan Xinan nodded, knowing he never lied: "Liu Lili, go ahead and ask. I'll answer whatever I can."
"Am I prettier than Ms. Lin, the kindergarten teacher?" Liu Lili was confident in her appearance.
"You're beautiful." Southwest answered without hesitation. Although Liu Lili was twenty-eight years old, you would never have guessed if she hadn't said so.
"Am I more educated or is that Teacher Lin more educated?" Liu Lili continued to ask.
"Of course, you're a university student, while Teacher Lin is just a vocational school graduate." But I heard from Teacher Lin's wife that Teacher Lin was planning to take the university entrance exam.
"So are you still thinking of waiting for Teacher Lin to confess his feelings to you?" Liu Lili's eyes were a little red.
"Liu Lili, you can't say things like that. There's no such thing as a lie. It's absolutely impossible," Southwest said anxiously.
"I heard about it. Didn't you give something to Teacher Lin? She said it was a token of love." Liu Lili told Southwest everything she had heard.
"Nonsense! I just told you, I was just thanking her for being good to Duoduo. There's no token of love involved." Southwest was really anxious; rumors can hurt people.
“Then you must shatter Teacher Lin’s fantasy, otherwise you’ll not only harm yourself, but also her,” Liu Lili said.
Yan Xinan stared blankly at Liu Lili, wondering if she was interrupting Teacher Lin's fantasy or if she herself wanted to reveal her identity.
But I didn't agree to be in a relationship with her, I just said I'd give it a try. Could this be another trick?
“Our primary goal is to shatter Teacher Lin’s illusions. You promised we could try, so let’s start with this,” Hua Lili said firmly.
