Liu Ye set his sights on An An, and then he waited for her at the school gate. Since he couldn't go into the school during class, he had to wait at the gate. However, An An was picked up as soon as she came out of school, so he still didn't have much of a chance to get close to her.
Finally, he decided to come early in the morning, sneak in as soon as the school gates opened, and then hide in the school.
Sure enough, he was able to see An'an. An'an came out of the classroom after class to play, holding a jump rope in her hand, intending to jump rope with her friends. Suddenly, a strange man stood in front of her. An'an looked at him blankly, and Liu Ye introduced himself gently.
"I'm a new teacher at the school. Your name is An'an, right? You're such a smart and excellent child. Come here with me, I have something to tell you."
"Okay, teacher."
Upon hearing that he was a new teacher, An'an believed everything he said and obediently followed him to a secluded spot. Liu Ye swaggered through the campus. Because of the crowd, although some teachers noticed he was a stranger, they didn't pay much attention.
I thought he might be some kind of repairman, a newly hired cafeteria worker, or something like that, since no one can guarantee they know everyone in the school.
He led An'an to a secluded spot and didn't do anything special. He simply took two milk candies out of his pocket and handed them to An'an, then asked her to sit down and chat with him. An'an was a little confused, but she still sat down on the ground with him, and the two started talking.
Liu Ye only let An'an go back when the bell rang. An'an touched her little braids in confusion.
"Ms. Liu, didn't you have something to tell me? By the way, which grade do you teach?"
"An An asked crisply," Liu Ye said, feigning surprise as he patted his head.
"Yes, I originally wanted you to take my homework back for me, but I forgot while we were chatting. Now that class has started, I don't need you to. You should go back and focus on your studies."
Liu Ye deliberately ignored An An's question about which grade he taught. An An was just a little girl and couldn't pay attention to so much, so she obediently nodded and ran back to the classroom. The bell had already rung, and she was afraid that if she went in late, the teacher would have already arrived in the classroom.
When the second period ended, An'an didn't go out. She was drinking water in her seat. It was at this moment that Liu Ye came over again and called An'an from the window.
"An'an, come out for a moment."
"Okay, Teacher Liu."
An An screwed the cap back on his water bottle and ran out again. Liu Ye, as usual, led him to a quieter spot and sat him down to chat, their conversation seemingly aimless. He nodded happily at everything An An said, his attempt to ingratiate himself quite obvious.
An'an was certain she didn't know this teacher before, but she wondered why he kept coming to see her. He didn't seem to have any important business; he just wanted to chat with her.
Children's facial expressions are too easy to guess. Liu Ye knew that he was being suspicious, but it didn't matter. He had already thought of an excuse. So he sighed and made a sad expression, even trying to squeeze out a couple of sad tears. However, his acting skills were obviously not up to par, so he let it go.
"You must think it's strange that your teacher wants to talk to you. It's because your teacher has a daughter who is the same age as you. Her name is also An'an, but her mother took her away, and I can't see her now."
You're so cute, and your name is An'an, just like my daughter. I can't help but want to talk to you more. An'an, do you not want to? If you don't want to, the teacher won't force you. Go back to the classroom.
I'm just a father who misses his child. I didn't mean to do anything to you, don't worry.
Liu Ye was crying, and An An actually believed him.
"Teacher Liu, don't be sad. I'm willing to talk to you more. You can come to see me again in the future."
An'an comforted Liu Ye, and only went back after the school bell rang. The same thing happened in the afternoon, and their relationship quickly warmed up. Liu Ye even wanted An'an to call him "Dad," but An'an had her own father. She watched Liu Ye struggle for a while, but still couldn't bring herself to say it.
She refused to call out, and Liu Ye couldn't force her, so he had to take it slow and gradually win over An'an's heart. But he never expected that An'an could talk about anything with her parents. Generally speaking, children of this age should be able to talk about anything with their parents and tell them about everything that happens.
Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang weren't home at noon, so she waited until dinner time in the evening to tell Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu.
"What! He even made you call him Dad? So, An'an, did you find out his full name later? Which class does he teach?!"
Xu Zijiang suppressed his anger and asked, "I don't want my child to call someone else 'Dad'." Yu Jiu also frowned and keenly sensed that something was wrong with this teacher; perhaps he wasn't even a real teacher.
"No, Teacher Liu didn't say. He only said his surname was Liu. When I asked him which class he taught, he always said something else and didn't answer the question. What's wrong, Mom and Dad? Should I not play with him?"
An'an asked in a daze. She took a bite of a meatball and then put one on Yuanyuan's plate. Yuanyuan had already finished eating, and as the older sister, she could also take care of her younger brother.
“You don’t know him, which at least means he doesn’t teach first or second grade. So how does he know your name? Something’s not right. Dad will go to the school with you tomorrow and ask the teacher.”
Since Xu Zijiang had doubts, he was determined to go to the school to find out the truth, since it concerned his child's safety. Yu Jiu agreed, and she would go with him tomorrow.
So the next morning, Xu Zi and Yu Jiu took An'an to school together, and even went straight into the school to ask An'an's current homeroom teacher.
"Hello Teacher Lin, I would like to ask if there is a male teacher in our school with the surname Liu. He said his wife ran away and he has a child who is the same age as An'an and also named An'an. He kept talking to An'an yesterday. We are a little worried that he is not a teacher at the school, so we came to ask."
Yu Jiu cut to the chase and asked directly. Lin Xiaoli was stunned. She thought about it carefully.
"No, there are only two teachers with the surname Liu at the school. One is a female teacher, and the other is an elderly teacher who is about to retire. Her granddaughter is older than An'an, let alone her daughter. And I have never heard of her getting divorced and taking the child away, let alone calling her An'an."
"There's definitely a problem. It seems a bad person has infiltrated the school. I demand that this person be found, otherwise the children's safety cannot be guaranteed!"
Xu Zi briefly recounted An An's interaction with that person last night. Then, he solemnly demanded that Lin Xiaoli, not daring to make a decision on her own, immediately go to find the principal.
The principal was also surprised to hear this. Someone was actually impersonating a teacher in the school and deceiving the students. Although his purpose was unclear at the moment, he would be in big trouble once his purpose was exposed.
The principal made a decisive decision: he ordered all the students to close the doors and windows and study in the classrooms. Then the teachers and security guards searched the entire campus to find the person!
