46: An inexplicable sense of familiarity
Thinking about the tough battle he would have with Zhou Ruyan that evening, Wu Fan tactfully declined: "Yaoyao is about to get out of school. Let's make it another time."
Lin Daixi nodded and kissed Wu Fan on the cheek.
Wu Fan looked at her cherry lips, his heart stirring. "Be good, lie down and rest for a while."
Lin Daixi lowered her gaze, and a blush immediately rose on her face.
The unrestrained Wu Fan was already standing tall and proud.
Wu Fan took off his jacket and placed it over her head... Walking into her rental apartment, Mao Jiajia was playing Honor of Kings, and an unfamiliar beauty and a man were snuggled together watching a TV series on a tablet.
When Mao Jiajia saw him, she immediately took the bags Wu Fan was carrying and said, "Brother Fan, you bled heavily for Campus Belle Lin again today."
Wu Fan bragged, "What heavy bleeding? This is just a drizzle."
Lin Daixi rolled her eyes at Mao Jiajia and said, "You help Brother Fan carry things but not me? What are your intentions?"
Mao Jiajia laughed heartily: "Brother Fan was walking ahead, so I helped him. Campus Belle Lin, don't overthink it."
The beauty watching the TV series nearby spoke up: "Lin Daixi, your Boyfriend is really generous. Did he go shopping for inventory? That's so much!"
There was an obvious hint of jealousy in her words.
After she finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at the man next to her.
Lin Daixi blushed and quickly explained, "Don't talk nonsense, he's my cousin."
Wu Fan didn't say anything, a smile hanging on his face.
Mao Jiajia volunteered to introduce her: "Brother Fan, this beauty is Liu Lei. She has practiced dance since she was little, doesn't she have a great figure?"
Liu Lei's pretty face flushed, and she said, "Why would you introduce me like that?"
Wu Fan smiled lightly, not responding to her, but instead glanced at the boy next to her and said, "Your Boyfriend is very handsome."
Mao Jiajia interjected again: "Zhou Tong, he's also a classmate. They are the golden couple of our class."
Zhou Tong grinned, offering a very strained smile.
Seeing Wu Fan buy so many things for Lin Daixi, he was actually feeling a little panicked inside.
After all, the total value of all the gifts he had given Liu Lei did not compare to the value of just one of Wu Fan's bags-and that was a designer bag.
Wu Fan agreed, saying, "They truly are a perfect match."
He glanced at Liu Lei; she was very delicate and the kind of beauty that grew on you.
She had a slender figure and a full bust. Her small face had exquisite features, and her almond eyes were very alluring.
After Wu Fan put Lin Daixi's things away, he prepared to leave.
Mao Jiajia, however, shouted, "Brother Fan, carry me in a game of Honor of Kings before you go."
Liu Lei looked up and interjected, "Is he very powerful?"
Mao Jiajia said, "He's great at jungling. Brother Fan, don't hesitate, come on."
Wu Fan checked the time and said, "I can only play one round."
Mao Jiajia said, "One round it is."
Lin Daixi ran out of the room: "Take me too."
Liu Lei counted the people with her eyes and said, "We have exactly five people, should we play a five-stack?"
Wu Fan said, "Sounds good, five-stack is more fun."
After the group entered the game, they invited each other into the team, and the match began.
Wu Fan still chose game character, his most skilled hero.
Liu Lei was a little surprised: "That's so cool? He can play game character too."
Wu Fan humbly replied, "Don't blame me if I mess up."
Mao Jiajia interjected: "He is very skilled, don't worry."
Lin Daixi took the mid-lane with in-game hero, Mao Jiajia took the side lane with Lu Bu, Liu Lei chose the support Yao, and Zhou Tong chose the marksman Huang Zhong.
The opposing jungler was Pei Qinhu, and Wu Fan was afraid he would invade the jungle, so he asked Yao to help him follow for a bit.
As a result, Wu Fan saw that Zhou Tong's expression was displeased, as if Wu Fan had stolen his Girlfriend.
Wu Fan found it amusing, so he deliberately said, "Yao, when you hit level four, ride on my head. I think I can carry us. Zhou Tong, you old Huang Zhong, stay defensive under the turret and play safe."
Zhou Tong reluctantly mumbled "Mm," and his expression became even more unpleasant.
Liu Lei, however, was obedient and indeed followed Wu Fan the entire time.
She occasionally praised him excitedly, "Brother Fan, it's so exhilarating flying around with you."
"Brother Fan is amazing, this is so much fun."
Wu Fan's game character certainly performed well, securing 21 kills and winning the match.
Liu Lei's Yao stayed mounted, racking up many assists and earning the Gold Support medal.
Liu Lei was overjoyed.
After the game ended, Liu Lei immediately sent a friend request in the game, adding a message asking him to carry her again next time.
Wu Fan naturally agreed readily.
After bidding them farewell, Wu Fan headed straight for the kindergarten entrance.
From a distance, he saw the BMW parked by the roadside, walked over, and knocked on the car door.
Xiao Ai quickly got out of the car and said with a smile, "Brother Fan, Yaoyao should be coming out soon."
"Mm."
Soon after, Wu Fan saw Teacher Chu holding Yaoyao's hand as they came out, which made him curious. Had something happened?
He hurried forward to meet them. "Teacher Chu, is Yaoyao doing well at school?"
Teacher Chu looked about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. She was pure and lovely, and her smile was especially sweet.
"You must be Yaoyao's father? Today, Yaoyao had a fight with a classmate, and the back of her hand was scratched slightly. I'm truly sorry."
Her eyes were full of apology.
Wu Fan picked up Yaoyao, checked the back of her hand, and saw only two red scratch marks. "Teacher Chu, it's nothing serious. It's normal for children to argue."
Teacher Chu gave a beautiful smile: "There are too many children; sometimes it's hard to manage them all."
Wu Fan nodded: "I completely understand. It's not easy looking after so many children."
Teacher Chu said, "Thank you for your understanding. Yaoyao, bye-bye."
She smiled and waved at Yaoyao.
Yaoyao said, "Goodbye, Teacher Chu."
Wu Fan looked at her retreating figure and sighed internally, "Are all kindergarten teachers this pretty nowadays?"
Xiao Ai held Yaoyao's small hand and asked, "Does the back of your hand hurt?"
Yaoyao shook her head: "It doesn't hurt."
Xiao Ai then took Yaoyao from Wu Fan's arms, held her, and said, "Brother Fan, are you coming home for dinner?"
Thinking about his date with Zhou Ruyan, Wu Fan said, "I'm not coming back. You two go ahead."
Yaoyao said, "Daddy, come home early tonight."
Wu Fan kissed her little cheek: "Your wish is my command, my Little Princess."
Yaoyao giggled, tickled by his words.
Only after watching the BMW drive away did Wu Fan get into his car.
He pulled out a cigarette and lit it.
Teacher Chu was really nice; she gave him an indescribable feeling.
It was like a sudden, inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Perhaps because Yaoyao was in her class, he subconsciously felt she was someone close to him?
Wu Fan pulled out his phone, opened the class group chat, found Teacher Chu Ying's wechat ID, and clicked to send a friend request.
After about four or five minutes, the friend request was accepted.
Wu Fan wrote: { Teacher Chu, Yaoyao is very mischievous, you truly went to a lot of trouble for her. }
Chu Ying replied: { Yaoyao's father, please don't be so polite. This is what I should be doing. }
Wu Fan immediately transferred ten thousand yuan and wrote: { Just a small token of appreciation. Please accept it and buy some fruit to eat. }
Chu Ying was completely stunned when she saw Wu Fan's transfer.
What was going on? Ten thousand yuan right off the bat? Was he that generous?
In all her time as a kindergarten teacher, this was the first time she had encountered a parent who directly transferred ten thousand yuan.
Usually, during holidays, some parents would give supermarket gift cards, but those were only a few hundred yuan, rarely exceeding one thousand.
She carefully organized her thoughts and replied: { Yaoyao's father, that is too much. I dare not accept it. }
Her reply was quite clever, purely intended as a test...
