Song Yuan
Chapter 14
On the first day of school, Yu Zhidong asked Song Xuan to play with Little Fatty in the car while he ran up and down to complete the paperwork.
Then, he returned to the parking lot and asked his wife to get out of the car to walk around and familiarize herself with the surroundings.
Walking around the campus, one could see that because of the series of changes in the past few years, this corner of the centuries-old school still had a sense of desolation … but because of the new students, it was obviously injected with vitality.
There was a big age gap between the students who came to report. There were middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, and there were also young men and women about the same age as Song Xuan. However, almost everyone had a bright smile on their faces and were talking loudly in different dialects …
"Ma … Mom …"
Suddenly, a young child's voice rang out in the midst of the lively conversation. It was very eye-catching. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man and a woman with an extraordinary temperament walking over together. They looked very loving, and the man was holding a fair and chubby child in his arms.
Yu Zhidong explained the layout of the school to Song Xuan in a low voice. He explained clearly where the cafeteria was and where the classrooms were.
Song Xuan looked up at him and said in a soft and surprised voice, "How do you know so much?"
Yu Zhidong said proudly, "Don't you know who your husband is?
I don't know anything! "He shook Little Fatty in his arms." Am I right?
Son? "
Yu Xiangyuan was almost a year old, so he could speak some simple words very clearly. When he heard his father talking to him, he didn't know what it meant. He opened his big black eyes and answered in a clear voice, "… Yes!"
Yu Zhidong laughed loudly and gave Song Xuan a smug expression.
Song Xuan rolled her eyes at him and poked her son's chubby face. "What's right?
You're right! "
Seeing that his mother was playing with him, Little Fatty grinned and revealed a few baby teeth in his mouth. He said sweetly to Song Xuan, "Mom … Mom, Mom …"
…
Time passed in the blink of an eye. Unknowingly, Song Xuan had already been in school for four years. Up until now, she hadn't spent much time in school. After all, she had already learned most of the theoretical knowledge in the books. To her, what was more important was the practical operation.
This time, she came over because her mentor had a project in his hands. He wanted her and a senior brother to come over to guide a few juniors.
Along the way, the two of them talked about their professional opinions. When Song Xuan heard his confident and eloquent manner, he couldn't help but sigh — no wonder he was the teacher's most valued student. He was indeed outstanding.
"Junior Song, it's already noon. Why don't … I treat you to a meal?" Seeing that they were about to leave the school, the senior hurriedly said the words that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.
Song Xuan was alarmed when he heard this.
Last time, a male classmate had shown interest in her. That day, Yu Zhidong had come to the school to pick her up and happened to hear their conversation. He rolled up his sleeves and went up to beat him up.
How could that gentle and weak male classmate be a match for Yu Zhidong? He was almost pressed to the ground and beaten up. Fortunately, Song Xuan stopped him in time. Otherwise, the matter wouldn't have escalated.
When she thought about the aftermath of that incident, Song Xuan suddenly felt a dull pain in her waist and legs. Her whole body quivered, and she hurriedly shook her head to refuse. "No need, Senior Brother. How could I let you spend money for no reason?"
She looked down at her watch and spoke before her senior brother could say anything else. "My husband should be waiting for me at the door for a long time. I have to go first. Let's chat again next time if we have the chance!"
"… Husband?
You're married? "
Song Xuan had a sweet smile on her face, and her voice was gentle. "Yes, the child is almost five years old."
She looked out and saw a familiar car parked on the side. She didn't stay any longer and said politely, "Next time, my husband and I will treat you to a meal if we have the chance!
Today's timing is really unfortunate. We've already agreed to take the child out to play. Goodbye, Senior Brother. "
After she finished speaking, she walked away quickly in her leather shoes. Her senior brother's gaze followed the beautiful figure in front of him, and his heart was filled with disbelief.
Ever since the first time he saw Song Xuan at the tutor's place, he was amazed. However, he still had some doubts about her ability.
Later, because of the research project, they could often discuss various problems together. He was increasingly attracted to this Junior Sister's different side. She looked gentle and weak on the outside, but she was very adept at all kinds of experimental operations. Theoretical knowledge came out of her mouth as soon as she opened her mouth. Her way of thinking was not restricted to the norm, and she could often find a new way to come up with a different point of view.
Today, he finally mustered up the courage to ask her out for a meal, but what did he hear in the end?
Not only was Junior Sister married, but she even had a child?
But she clearly looked like she was in her early twenties. Could it be … that she was too embarrassed to reject him, so she deliberately found an excuse?
His senior brother's confidence was instantly reignited. He strode forward, but as soon as he stepped out of the school gate, he saw a tall man standing with Song Xuan. His arm was wrapped around her slender waist in a protective posture. With one hand, he opened the door of the front passenger seat for her to get in.
As if sensing his gaze, the man turned around and glanced in his direction. He was handsome, and his sharp and cold gaze made one's heart tremble …
Song Xuan sat in the front passenger seat and looked at her husband, who was focused on driving. He was wearing a well-tailored suit, and his hair was neatly combed. After years of experience in the business world, he now exuded a mature and steady aura. There was no trace of the flamboyant and irascible youth from years ago.
The mature and steady person suddenly picked up Song Xuan's hand from her knee and kissed it. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smirk. "What's wrong? Your eyes are fixed. Are you dazed?
Is it because your husband is too handsome?
Hehe. "
Song Xuan turned to look out of the window — Alright!
What "mature and steady" was just an illusion.
"Where should we bring Xiao Yuan to play in the afternoon?"
"Why should we bring him to play?
We're not bringing him, just the two of us. "
"…"
"No, he'll be angry. We've already promised him."
"I don't care. How long has it been since the two of us were alone together? Ever since you had him, you only have that brat in your heart. You don't care about me at all."
His voice sounded aggrieved. Song Xuan felt guilty and reflected on whether he had really neglected him.
"Then … then let's go home and have a meal with Xiao Yuan. We'll come out in the afternoon?"
Yu Zhidong's scheme had succeeded. How could he go home and walk right into a trap? Once he got home, his wife's heart would definitely soften when she saw that brat. "I've already found a restaurant. We can just go there directly. There's a nanny at home. He won't starve!"
Song Xuan: "…"
Yu Xiangyuan, who was anxiously waiting at home: "…"
…
Yu Xiangyuan understood one thing when he was very young — his father's words could never be trusted, especially when it came to matters regarding his mother. He had learned this lesson from his many years of blood and tears.
"Little Fatty, come over and give your mother a call. Tell her that you have something to do at school and that she needs to go there," he said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Yu Xiangyuan was lying on the table doing his homework. He rolled his eyes when he heard that. "Let me tell you!
If you call me little one again!
Fat!
Fatty!
I'll definitely tell Grandpa and Uncle. "
"Oh my!
You dare to threaten your father. "He lifted his son up with one hand." You're really something!
Are you going to make the call or not? "
Yu Xiangyuan's pair of short legs kicked desperately in the air. After struggling for a long time, he still couldn't escape from his father's "evil clutches." He lowered his head weakly. "Give it to me. I'll make the call."
Research institute
Song Xuan was busy sitting in his seat when his phone suddenly rang. He took a look at it and smiled helplessly. He pressed the answer button and said softly, "Zhidong?
I really can't leave now, but I'll definitely come home tonight, okay? "
Then an aggrieved little voice came from the receiver. "… Mommy, it's me." Then there was a sob. "… Daddy bullied …"
After a moment of chaos, a mature male voice came from the other end. He explained anxiously, "Honey, don't listen to this brat's nonsense. I didn't touch him. He was pretending."
Song Xuan stood up from his chair and walked out of the door before he started talking on the phone. "You!
How old are you already? You're always fooling around with your son. "
"I didn't fool around with him …" Then the voice sounded aggrieved. "Then how many days have you been away?"
Song Xuan felt a little guilty when he heard this. He said softly, "Oh, I'm sorry!
It's a critical time now. Everyone is busy too!
I'm not the only one.
But it's almost done now. I'll be able to go back after work … "
Yu Zhidong didn't care about what was said before. He only heard the last sentence and said happily, "Then I'll drive over to pick you up. Just wait at the research institute. I'll call you when I arrive."
"Okay."
Yu Xiangyuan crawled onto Yu Zhidong's lap and wrapped her arms and legs around him. "I'll go too!"
"What are you going for? Wait at home. We'll be back soon."
Yu Xiangyuan rolled her eyes. As if I'd believe you. Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?
Song Xuan hung up the phone and walked back in. His colleagues in the room looked over and said jokingly, "It's your husband again?
I don't mean to say this, but the two of you are really lovey-dovey. You're an old married couple. You'll call if you're a little late. "
Another colleague said, "Hey, Sister Xu, I think you're just jealous!
Not only is Little Song's husband good-looking, but he treats Little Song so well that he's afraid he'll fall.
What about my husband?
Every day, he'll be lucky if he doesn't anger me to death! "She sighed and said," Aiya … Different people have different lives. "
The team leader smiled and said, "Listen, our female colleagues are usually quite resentful!
Male colleagues, you have to work harder and make them see you in a different light. "
"Aiyo, let's not talk about the distant ones. Our male colleagues in the institute usually don't do well!"
"Hahaha … You're right!"
The male colleague who had not said anything but was attacked personally: "…"
Song Xuan smiled and allowed everyone to tease him. He waited for everyone to finish before saying, "Sister Xiaojing, how sad will Brother-in-law be if he hears your words?
When you were sick those few days, didn't Brother-in-law send you soup and food every day and ask about your well-being? "
Sister Xiaojing laughed when she heard this. She pursed her lips and said, "Then I guess he still has some conscience!"
Everyone laughed again.
