Chapter 196 - 196 In Addition to Work, He Actually Has to Guide the Child?



196 In Addition to Work, He Actually Has to Guide the Child?

“Thank you, brother. If there’s anything, contact me at any time.” Luo Xi got up to go to the Mumu Time lounge. “I will go and check in on Jian Jia”

The live broadcast was only a few days away, so Luo Xi had asked Dou Fei to get Jian Jia two days before.

Jian Jia was cleaning his brush when he saw Luo Xi walk in. “Daddy!” he called out happily.

Luo Xi carried him and placed him on his lap. “Daddy! See? Do you recognize him?” asked the little boy. “I want to give this painting to Jiejie.”

“Where are the other children?”

“Here.” The little boy opened his bags that had paintings he had already finished.

“Daddy, will I also have a mom?” the child asked. “They all have mothers.”

Luo Xi was stunned. “The Director’s mother is your mother, right? Even if you come live with me, you can visit her often.”

“Daddy, I want a mommy that only belongs to me. You can adopt me. Can you also adopt a mommy?” the boy asked innocently.

Luo Xi couldn’t help but laugh. “Why would you have such thoughts?”

luo xi wasn’t considered a public figure. He had always kept a low profile and even kept the fact that he wanted to adopt the child a secret. However, he was still often exposed on his alma mater’s Tieba forum.

Someone had noticed that he was going to adopt Jian Jia after the class reunion but Lin Wan had become a hot topic and her private life had been dug out.

Later, he admitted that he was going through the procedures to adopt Jian Jia. But the orphanage thought he was too young. It would take another year for them to agree to let Jian Jia live with him.

Halfway through the second episode of “We Are Also Very Ordinary”, the orphanage’s person-in-charge and Luo Xi received a call from the Festival Group.

Like all the other guests, the production team first asked for the child’s opinion, and then decided to bring Luo Xi onto the show.

“Then, daddy, how can I have mommy?” He asked.

When he decided to adopt Jian Jia, Luo Xi had decided to find out about the child’s background. Both of his parents had passed away.

“You do have a mommy. But she became an angel. She protects you from heaven,” said Luo Xi patiently.

“Then, daddy, can you find an Auntie like Nannan?” Jian Jia asked with anticipation. “You still have to wait a year to take me home. You can adopt a mommy at that time.”

Luo Xi didn’t know what to say.

“I’ll tell you a story,” he said, trying to change the topic.

In the neighborhood next to Yun Xi High School, Li Zexuan said he wanted to get his blanket from home. That was his excuse. In reality, he wanted to see what was going on in the new house.

Aunt Huang didn’t know that Li Zexuan was arriving, so she hadn’t made a meal for him.

In the dining room, Li Zexin gobbled up a pot of crab and shrimp dumplings then he raced against time to let Lin Wan tutor him in English.

Every day, Lin Wan only ate dinner after Li Zexn left for his dorms.

As soon as Li Zexuan entered the door, he heard the conversation in English.

“Is that Ms. Lin?” he said. “Can she really help Xinxin with English?”

Li Zexin, who was interrupted, pushed his brother aside. “Why did you come back? Isn’t it Wednesday today? I won’t be able to make it for the evening self-study. Don’t disturb me.”

Li Zexuan pulled a chair to him and sat down. “I want to see if Ms. Lin’s pronunciation is accurate.”

“Don’t say anything. Xinxin, look at the grammar here, ” Lin Wan explained with a highlighter.

The alarm rang. Li Zexin hugged his book and ran out. “Ms. Lin, see you tomorrow.”

After his brother returned to school, Li Zexuan finally got to talk to Lin Wan.

“Ms. Lin, which university did you graduate from? Your English is pretty good.” Li Zexuan praised her.

Lin Wan was about to say, “Nanjing University”, but she quickly realized that there was no such university in this world. She changed it to the original owner’s school and added, “I like to watch American dramas, but high school English is a little difficult, so I can’t teach you.”

“You did that on purpose, didn’t you? You just don’t want to teach me. I didn’t even say anything, and you rejected me.” Li Zexuan pretended to be angry.

“I’ll teach you in your third year, if you’re not afraid that your English will get worse,” Lin Wan said poignantly.

“I’m not afraid.” Li Zexuan smiled.

Lin Wan was baffled. ‘Does this child not know what sarcasm is?’

Lin Wan felt that her life was becoming more and more fulfilling. Other than work, she even had a child to tutor.

“Li Zexuan, did you come back today just for this? Doesn’t your school usually keep the gates closed?”

“I came back to get a blanket,” Li Zexuan lied. “I have to reach school before eight.”

“What happened to your blanket?”

“It’s dirty. Sun Mingtao spilled his drink on my bed.”

Lin Wan tilted her head in suspicion.

“It’s true,” Li Zexuan said firmly.

“You took a taxi back? Why didn’t you ask Assistant Qin to bring you a blanket instead?” Lin Wan saw through the child’s little tricks.

Li Zexuan made up his mind. “That’s enough. I lied to the teacher and said I wanted to get a blanket. I just wanted to see if Xinxin lives here every day while I am the only one in school.”

Lin Wan poked gently at Li Zexuan’s head. “You lied to your teacher and now you lie to your parents. Xuanuan, didn’t you do your junior high school exams, as well? You know how difficult it is. You are still fighting with your younger brother for love?’

Li Zexuan was embarrassed by Lin Wan’s words. He had just come here for a free meal. How had everything escalated into a judgment of his personality?

Li Zexuan pouted. “You didn’t cook for me. I can eat less. After I am done, you can send me back to school.”

“Alright, hurry up and eat.”

At seven, Lin Wan drove Li Zexuan to Yun Xi High School, which was a few kilometers away, on her electric scooter. Although it only took twenty minutes, Li Zexuan felt like his entire body was falling apart.

After the scooter stopped in front of the school, Li Zexuan limped to his dorm room. He turned to look at Lin Wan. Lin Wan wore a black helmet and sat on her dark blue scooter.

“Ms. Lin, please get back safely.” Li Zexuan said loudly. Then, he took a photo of an electric scooter and posted it on his third WeChat moments of the year.

...

[The driver is Ms. Lin. She said she would drop me to school in the open caravan. After I arrived at school, I felt my numb feet would never walk again. Ms. Lin is a big liar.]

Lin Wan saw Li Zexuan enter the school gate and then left on her electric scooter. She had just bought this scooter a few days ago. She hadn’t expected to use it so soon.

Li Zexuan’s moments on WeChat quickly became a hot topic again.

[Is the one wearing the helmet Lin Wan? It is clearly an ordinary electric scooter, but why does it look like a Ferghana horse on which she would gallop through the world?]

[Lin Wan is the most down-to-earth person. Riding an electric scooter to send a big star to school.]

[You can’t carry people properly on an electric scooter. Lin Wan, didn’t you get stopped by the police?]

It was Xuanxuan’s third post this year.

‘Why is it that every single post of mine is related to Lin Wan?’

At a glance, he looked as though he was dissatisfied with Lin Wan, but after considering it carefully, he realized that it was the opposite.
