Chapter 264: Essay: I’ll Just Write About My Dad Casually

Soon, the little pink bag was dragged to the girl’s feet.

Her little face lit up with joy, and she lowered her head slightly, blinking her long, dark lashes, glancing several times, preparing to find the biggest one.

Suddenly, a light voice came from above:

"What are you looking for?"

"Looking for candy..."

The little loli with two long pigtails suddenly looked up, her big, dark, clear eyes meeting Lu Junhan’s expressionless face.

She froze for a second, then showed a small row of her white, sticky rice teeth, her big eyes looking obedient and honest, and she said in a cute baby voice:

"Daddy, Li Li is looking for a pen! Li Li’s pen disappeared."

The man with a cold face propped his head with one hand, elongating the tone, "Oh," looking at her, raised his eyebrows, and said ambiguously:

"So you were looking for a pen. I thought you wanted to steal my candy."

Saying that, he easily picked up the bag of candy at her feet and took it away.

The girl: "..."

The girl looked at the candy getting further and further away, and finally couldn’t help it, clutching her little hands, raising her little head, looking at him pitifully: "Daddy, I want to eat candy..."

The man turned his head to glance at her, raising an eyebrow: "No."

The little girl pouted, sniffed, her baby voice choking, and started her little Tang Seng-like rambling:

"Daddy... Li Li wants to eat candy, Li Li wants to eat candy candy, Li Li wants to eat, Li Li wants to eat, Daddy just give me a few pieces, Daddy Daddy Dad..."

Lu Junhan was directly amused by this, this rogue-like whining, he didn’t know who she got it from.

Annoyed by the noise, he raised his hand and threw the whole bag over: "Shut up! Take it if you want to eat it."

"Eh?"

The little girl looked at the bag of candy that had suddenly flown into her arms, completely dumbfounded.

The next second, her eyes lit up, looking at her father: "Daddy, you don’t want it anymore?"

Before Lu Junhan could reply, the little girl happily hugged the bag of candy and continued on her own:

"If you don’t want it, Li Li can help you eat it! Aunty said it can’t be wasted! Wasting is not being a good child! But don’t worry Daddy, Li Li can help you eat every piece!"

Lu Junhan picked up his phone again, his distinct fingers tapping lightly, replied to a message, and then lazily responded:

"Eat it, eat it all, get so fat you’ll die."

The girl hugging the candy: "..."

Even the little girl was tough, clenching her little fists, her baby voice resolute and humming,

"Li Li is already a big chubby, Li Li is not afraid of getting fat! Daddy, don’t try to scare me."

The real big chubby Zhang Dazhuang next to her: "..."

And the little chubby Zhang Yiming: "..."

During their conversation, Qu Sinian couldn’t wait to open the envelope with Qu Qianqian’s essay written for him.

While opening it, he smiled at Qu Qianqian beside him:

"Baby, did you write about Daddy or Mommy?"

With a grape-flavored lollipop in her mouth, Qu Qianqian answered without hesitation, the sweet grape scent filling her mouth: "I wrote about Daddy!"

Qu Sinian was delighted, his fair and slender big hand ruffling her braided little head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"Hey! So good! It’s worth all the love I gave you before!"

But as soon as he pulled out the essay paper, unfolded it, and glanced at it, the smile on Qu Sinian’s face froze.

Qu Qianqian had been taught to read and write since she was one year old, so she knew many characters. The whole essay had almost no pinyin, and it was very smooth to read, and she didn’t write much, just a few paragraphs, however—

Qu Sinian’s expression stiffened as he looked toward Qu Qianqian who was blinking her eyes: "Baby, didn’t your teacher ask you to write about your favorite dad or mom? How come..."

"Yes," Qu Qianqian waved her little hand, "You’re in the back! I remembered to write about you!"

Apparently, Qu Sinian’s expression was truly indescribable.

Coincidentally, the table wasn’t very big, so Jian Yi, Zhang Dazhuang, and Lu Junhan only had to slightly turn their heads to see what was written on the paper.

And then the next second, everyone fell silent.

Title: My Favorite Ms. Li Li

My favorite is Ms. Li Li!!!

She is so pretty, prettier than my dad. My dad used to say that I wouldn’t find anyone prettier than him, but now I found her, hmph, I knew he was lying! Luckily I didn’t believe him!

Also, Ms. Li Li is so good to me, she’ll date me, and she’ll give me candy, and she’ll talk to me a lot, a lot.

Oh, I remembered. Earlier the teacher told us we must write about dad or mom, or we’ll be off-topic. Although I don’t know what "off-topic" means, Ms. Li Li told me that being off-topic isn’t good, alright, so I’ll reluctantly include my dad in there. Although I don’t know the point of including my dad, cause my favorite is Ms. Li Li, not Daddy, but the teacher asked us to write: My favorite dad or mom.

I feel like the teacher is deliberately making things difficult for me.

Qu Sinian: "..."

So at the back, it turns out your dad is just a tag-along?

Jian Yi was silent for a while, as if he’d thought of something, and without a word, reached out to open the envelope in front of him.

Earlier, they weren’t rushing to open it; first, because the parent-teacher meeting hadn’t started yet, and they didn’t know what the envelopes were for when they saw them on the table.

Secondly, after hearing what the teacher said, they thought the essay inside would be nothing more than the typical "Dad, Mom, you’ve worked hard. I’ll repay you well" corny lines often seen on TV.

These corny lines were evidently not something the men present, except Qu Sinian, were much used to, but now...

After reading Qu Qianqian’s essay, Jian Yi looked expressionlessly at Jian Xiyan, who was sulking and had his little face stiff, feeling a foreboding premonition in his heart.

Sure enough—

Jian Xiyan’s title was exactly the same as Qu Qianqian’s:

My Favorite Ms. Li Li.

My favorite is Ms. Li Li.

Ms. Li Li is very nice to me, she’ll give me candy, and when I can’t speak, she’ll let me speak slowly, telling me not to worry. When I’m scolded, she’ll help me scold back, and even protect me.

And she’s very pretty, she’s the prettiest person I’ve ever seen, she’s also the best person in the world.

I want to give her all my daily candy and chocolate.

Mm, just now, Ms. Qianqian read my essay and said I didn’t write the words dad or mom, which would be off-topic.

Ms. Li Li also said that it’s not good if I don’t write dad or mom.

I don’t want them to be upset.

Alright then, I’ll just casually write about my dad.

I don’t have a dad.

Jian Yi: "..."

Lu Junhan: "..."

Qu Sinian: "..."

Zhang Dazhuang: "..."
