The man kept staring at Shen Muan, he stood up and walked toward Shen Muan looking him up and down.
âThis is Mr. Shen Muan from the Rose Class. The children call him Teacher An An.â Seeing that the atmosphere seemed a little ominous, the principal interrupted to introduce them to each other, âThis is Shan Liang, Mr. Shan, is the father of this new child, Shan Keke.â
Laser beams seemed to come out as he watched Shen Muan: âI know your brother, Shen Fangqi.â Shan Liang declared.
Shen Muan seemed to not notice anything wrong, he nodded: âYes.â
Shan Liang laughed heartily, he patted Shen Muan on the shoulder: âYou and your brother are really alike, when I look at others like this, they almost get scared to death.â
âYou shouldnât judge people based on their appearance.â Shen Muan turned slightly to avoid Shan Liangâs hand. Although he didnât think the other person was scary, it didnât mean the force he used on him wasnât painful.
Shan Liangâs hands were too strong.
Shan Liang also discovered this, and instead of patting Shen Muanâs back with his hands, he carried his baby girl over: âCome on, Keke, greet Teacher An An.â
âHello, Teacher An An.â Shan Keke kept blinking her eyes. She looked a little bit shy when looking at Shen Muan, but she wasnât really scared.
âKeke looks beautiful.â Shen Muan was attracted by the white and tender little bun in front of him and had the urge to pinch it.
âYeah, Keke looks like her mother. She has inherited the genes of my mother and my wife perfectly.â Shan Liang couldnât help but start screaming praises for his daughter.
Shan Keke has long been accustomed to the appearance of Shan Liang. Every time Shen Muan looked at Shan Keke, Shan Keke giggled.
Shen Muan felt that a child-like Shan Keke should be able to get along well with other children.
Who wouldnât like a giggly and joyful kid?
âIâll take you to the classroom, okay?â Shen Muan stretched out his hand and Keke nodded vigorously, she struggled to get out of her fatherâs arms to hug Shen Muan.
Shan Liang didnât care and directly handed over his daughter to Shen Muan. He could see that the young man in front of him was very similar to his brother.
It wasnât the similarity in appearance, but the similarity in the heart.
So he was at ease to hand his daughter to Shen Muan.
Shan Liang knew that he would easily frighten the children with his appearance, so he only talked to the principal in the office.
After Shen Muan hugged Shan Keke out, she wanted to put her on the ground, and walk by herself: âCoco, can you walk by yourself?â
âI want to hug the teacher.â Shan Keke coquettishly hugged Shen Muanâs arm, both her legs hanged mid-air, as if she didnât want to hit the ground.
âKeke, walk by yourself.â Shen Muan repeated.
Shan Keke found that Shen Muan didnât seem to indulge her, so she could only pull on her little skirt and walk by herself.
âHold hands?â Shan Keke thought if she couldnât hug, then at least they should hold hands.
Shen Muan wouldnât refuse this kind of request. Holding Shan Kekeâs hand, the two of them walked around the kindergarten unhurriedly. Shen Muan introduced her to the different places in the kindergarten from time to time.
Chu Siyuan, who was singing in the classroom, accidentally saw Shen Muan holding a little girlâs hand through the window, he poked the arm of the little girl next to him and let her look out the window.
Xiaoyi raised her head and saw Shen Muan leading another child outside, the alarm bell in her mind rang.
As a girl, her instinct told her that she had met an opponent. Chu Siyuan saw the expression Xiaoyi had in his eyes. He nodded in satisfaction and also told Zhizhi to look outside.
Zhizhi looked at the teacher in front of him, and then at Shen Muan holding the little girl outside. He suddenly became unhappy.
He had completely forgotten that on his first day, Shen Muan took him to the kindergarten in the same way.
âHow could Teacher An An do this?â Zhizhiâs expression looked grave and his whole body froze. The teacher in class was startled, thinking there was something wrong.
No matter what, Zhizhi had to talk to Teacher An An. The teacher in the class had no choice but to have another teacher take Zhizhi to the office for a while, so as not to affect the other children and make them cry.
Chu Siyuan wanted to follow, but was stopped by the teacher, he was thinking about whether he should cry too. But he remembered Teacher An An say yesterday that a man cannot cry casually, so he gave up this plan.
He wanted to sneak out, but the teacher watched closely so he couldnât sneak away.
He can only let Zhizhi play in the front line first.
Zhizhi was sitting in the office, as Teacher Xia poured him a glass of water: âYou sit here for a while, Teacher An An will be here soon.â
âWoo, okay~â Xiao Ruzhi cried and talked. There was even a little trill sound as he talked, and it sounded like the eighteen bends on a mountain road.[1]
Teacher Xia tried not to laugh, for the sake of the childrenâs face, she held back.
Although it was very hard to endure, she really couldnât help it. Teacher Xia lowered her head and smiled secretly where Zhizhi couldnât see it.
Zhizhi sat in a chair, he kept looking out, waiting anxiously.
Shen Muan originally planned to take Shan Keke to see the small âzooâ first, but he received a message from Teacher Xia that Zhizhi had been crying, so he rushed back to the office holding Shan Keke.
Seeing Shen Muan still holding someone else, Zhizhiâs tears welled up again. He wasnât crying loudly and heartbreakingly, but sobbed quietly while staring at Shen Muan.`
Shen Muan felt distressed. He put down Shan Keke and handed her to Teacher Xia. He walked over and hugged Zhizhi, softly coaxing him, âStop crying, whatâs the matter?â
âUuuuuu, thereâs another new child, is it true that Teacher An An will not like me anymore?â Zhizhi cried and hummed softly.
âWhy?â Shen Muan said, âOf course, I will still like you.â
Shen Muan whispered into Zhizhiâs ear: âThere will be new children who will come, but you are the one I will always like the most, so donât cry anymore. A man should learn to be stronger.â
âOkayâŠâ Zhizhi wiped the tears on his face indiscriminately with his hands. He wanted to listen to Teacher An Anâs words and stop crying.
Shen Muan took a few pieces of tissue paper and wiped the tears and snot off Zhizhiâs face. The little oneâs face had become all red as he retracted into Shen Muanâs arms.
Shan Keke stood beside them, watching the good-looking brother comforting others, not hugging her.
Shan Keke ran over and grabbed Zhizhiâs clothes: âCome down!â
âYou canât do this.â Shan Keke said solemnly, âMy father is very scary.â
âThe last time he held me on the road, others thought he was a child trafficker!â
âHe is terrifying!â
Zhizhi was dumbfounded in an instant.
Shen Muan: âŠ
Shan Keke felt distressed as she stared at Zhizhi. What she wanted to express couldnât be more obvious.
