Chapter 25
Jiang Chen watched the kindergarten live broadcast for the whole afternoon. When it was almost time to go home from school, he hurried to the university with his housekeeper to pick up his child.
Xiao Zhuang sat on the stairs, hugging his legs and staring blankly.
He lowered his head to look at the tiny cub. From his perspective, he could just see the chubby cheeks through the cub's curled eyelashes.
That round and tender face makes people want to rub and pinch it, or even kiss it.
"Xiao Zhuang, can I hold your hand?"
Thinking about it carefully, Shu Jinye didn't hold Xiao Zhuang's hand this afternoon.
The little zombie stared blankly at the tree-lined path in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
If only I could hear Xiao Zhuang’s inner voice at this moment.
He observed Xiao Zhuang carefully and found that the child was always quiet and silent, and liked to be alone and daydream.
"Little Zombie..."
Not paying attention to Shu Jinye's call, Xiao Zhuang stared towards the university gate.
He is waiting for his father to take him home.
The leaves on the trees were blown to the ground by the strong wind, and the university was particularly quiet in the afternoon.
For some reason, Shu Jinye had an excessive liking for Xiao Jiang from the bottom of his heart. It was the first time that he took the initiative to contact a child and be intimate with him.
He sat next to Xiao Zhuang and stared at the sky. Since he started to manage the family business, he rarely felt so leisurely.
The big and the small sat in silence for 20 minutes before parents came to pick up their children.
"Xiao Yu, mom and dad are here to pick you up." A gentle and beautiful mother walked forward.
Xiaoyu was sleeping next to Xiaojiang. He woke up rubbing his eyes and found that his parents had come.
Xiaoyu's mother looks very young, with a cute oval face, big eyes, and very sweet clothes.
"Mom." Xiaoyu quickly got up and hugged his mother's legs, holding his father's hand with his other hand.
Xiaoyu's mother smiled gently at Xiaojiang, "Are you Xiaojiang? Xiaoyu has been mentioning you a lot at home these days."
The little zombie nodded shyly, "Hello, Auntie."
Xiaoyu's mother carefully examined Xiaozhuang. She realized that even she couldn't predict his fortune. No wonder Xiaoyu's divine power had no effect on him. She was glad that Xiaoyu had a friend. "Our Xiaoyu likes you very much. Can you come over to our house someday?"
The little Zhuang's shy look is particularly adorable, mainly because he is gentle and well-behaved.
Xiao Zhuang is a little shy. He doesn't dare to respond to other adults when his father is not around.
Shu Jinye looked at the family of three in front of him. His parents were directors of the most popular restaurant chain today, and they also had the most watched food variety show channel in the entire federation.
"Your parents haven't come yet?"
"Um."
"Then we'll take Xiaoyu away first. Xiaoyu, hurry up and say goodbye to Xiaozhuang."
"Goodbye, little zombie. See you tomorrow."
Xiao Zhuang waved at Xiao Yu, and silently took the little bear that Xiao Yu used as a pillow back into his arms.
"Boss, I'm leaving first." After Xiaoyu was taken away, Lao Ba also left quickly.
Now they were the only two left on the stairs.
Linyin's two fathers also came not far away.
Both husband and wife are tall and handsome. The taller father with long hair looks gentle and elegant in a white suit, while the father with red hair looks wild and flamboyant.
Rinyin completely absorbed all the advantages of their appearance.
"Why are you in your pajamas?"
"I look handsome even in pajamas." Linyin put her hands on her hips proudly.
"Well, that's how she resembles me," Rin's father joked.
"Hehe, of course, you are allowed to praise me."
Hearing her father's praise, Rinyin's tail was lifted high.
"I love daddy the most." After saying that, Linyin insisted on being hugged by her father.
"Daddy, why don't you hold the child quickly?" He winked at his lover, and the person next to him had a doting expression.
"Okay, okay."
“…”
The students were picked up one after another, and the square gradually became deserted.
Until finally only Xiao Zhuang was left.
Xiao Zhuang hugged his teddy bear tightly. He was a little anxious and didn't know how long it would take for his father to come.
[Dad…hasn’t come yet…]
Suddenly, Shu Jinye heard Xiao Jiang's inner voice again, and he shuddered. The little voice just now was obviously filled with fear.
Xiao Zhuang's face gradually showed some loss. He felt extremely distressed. "Can I hold your hand?"
This time Xiao Zhuang did not refuse. He felt insecure without seeing his father.
Shu Jinye gently held Xiao Jiang's hand. After waiting for an entire afternoon, he finally held Xiao Jiang's hand.
It feels soft and fluffy on little hands and feels great.
A slight force came from the palm of his hand, tightening his hand little by little.
"Don't worry, Dad will be here to pick you up soon."
"Or, I can take you back later."
Xiao Zhuang shook his head and waited for his father to pick him up.
At this time, Jiang Chen was extremely anxious. He didn't expect that there was a traffic jam on the road. When he was about to reach the university gate, the car was still stuck halfway.
He hurriedly got out of the car and came to pick up Xiao Zhuang first.
He forgot that he was not good at finding his way and got lost as soon as he entered the university campus.
Jiang Chen ran around like a headless fly and finally had to ask passers-by for help.
There are few pedestrians nearby
When he found Xiao Zhuang, he discovered that the small child was sitting alone on the stairs. All the children in the kindergarten had left, and only Xiao Zhuang and Shu Jinye who was with him were left.
Jiang Chen felt a surge of guilt in his heart.
"I'm sorry, baby. Daddy's late."
"Hmm." Finally, when his father arrived, Xiao Zhuang couldn't wait to rush up and hug his father's legs.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I kept you waiting for so long." Jiang Chen picked up the little zombie and kissed his forehead.
Xiao Zhuang hugged Jiang Chen's neck, and the complex emotions in his father's heart turned into a tear before he could wait.
"I won't make you wait so long next time." Jiang Chen was tormented by the heartache. His little zombie never expressed his feelings actively.
Shu Jinye finally waited for Jiang Chen. When Xiao Zhuang let go of his hand without hesitation, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, we meet again."
Jiang Chen usually wears loose clothes, and her long hair is tied behind her back, making her look a lot softer.
"Thank you for taking care of the little zombie for me."
"Can I help send the little zombie back?"
Facing Shu Jinye, Jiang Chen's mood was quite complicated. "It's getting late, so I won't bother Mr. Shu anymore."
Just at this moment, Pink Rabbit also parked the car and rushed over here.
"Master, we should go."
"Then Mr. Shu, we'll go first." After saying that, Jiang Chen carried the little zombie away.
Shu Jinye looked at their backs as they left, and he didn't expect that he would be rejected again.
However, the comprehensive course only lasts for half a month, so he has more opportunities to spend time with Xiao Zhuang and Jiang Chen.
Maybe next time Jiang Chen won't be so repulsive to him.
Only in his father's arms did Xiao Jiang feel safe. He hugged Jiang Chen tightly, not knowing how to express his feelings.
"Xiao Zhuang is okay, Daddy is here..." Jiang Chen comforted him gently.
Xiao Zhuang was still very scared. He was afraid that his father would ignore him like before.
He called out to his father every day, but his father never responded. He was afraid that such a scene would happen again.
Jiang Chen didn't know what Xiao Jiang had done to him while he was asleep. Feeling the tight embrace around his neck, he felt extremely guilty.
