Chapter 316: 257 Great dads should kick away the little Dens that approach their daughters
Xia Anyang's sudden question threw Chen Xuan off balance.
Nuo Nuo's dad used to be so open-minded?
Chen Xuan felt slightly embarrassed, "Ah? What do you mean by lonely... At this age, it's not really—" Find adventures at empire
At this moment, Lin Yi understood what her husband meant and immediately explained with a smile, "What Anyang means is that when we used to go out to play, both dads were always playing together. Now when going out, You You's dad is not seen anymore, and he feels lonesome and misses the excitement."
"Is that what it means..."
The belatedly enlightened Chen Xuan was somewhat surprised and inexplicably asked, "I thought you always kind of looked down on my husband!"
"Dislike is a bit strong..."
After thinking for a moment, Xia Anyang nodded and said, "But to speak frankly, there is some displeasure, but not the kind that's hateful, you know? It's that kind—"
"If it's not a hateful dislike, then it's the affectionate kind of dislike,"
Lin Yi said with a smile, "Is that what you mean?"
"Whatever you say."
Xia Anyang naturally couldn't outtalk his wife.
Of course, it wasn't really because he couldn't outtalk her. After all, he was a big shot in Mei City, someone who would sit in the guest seats at the Green Bull Cup, not just in this VIP exclusive spectator area watching the competition.
It was because he doted on her that he couldn't outtalk his wife.
Taking advantage of this affection, Lin Yi continued to speak to Chen Xuan, "Don't be fooled by my husband's quietness. Sometimes he actually understands things very well. We can't just consider how long the children have known each other. You You's dad and our Anyang have known each other for quite a while too."
Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, "That's true."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Xia Anyang, who was focused on the match, "But I really hadn't realized that those two had such a good relationship."
"Well... actually, I think it's kind of similar to the relationship between You You and Nuo Nuo. Nuo Nuo has always been clinging to You You, and although You You never says it, he really likes Nuo Nuo a lot in his heart."
"Indeed, it does feel like that," Chen Xuan nodded. "This child is just too inept at expressing his feelings, always acting indifferent as if nothing matters and everything's under control. But when it comes to things related to Nuo Nuo, he still gets quite emotional."
Chen Xuan said with a laugh, "I remember the first time Nuo Nuo got her period, he searched the internet for loads of information, worried to death, researching how to make Nuo Nuo go through it comfortably."
At this point, Lin Yi also opened up, "Let me tell you something else: You know how You You and Nuo Nuo are always sitting together, right? That wasn't because Nuo Nuo asked me, but it was You You who came to me, saying he was worried Nuo Nuo wouldn't pay attention in class."
Lin Yi said softly, "He really wants to go to Zhendan Academy with her."
"Hahaha... so that's how it is!"
Chen Xuan was as excited as if she was enjoying some juicy gossip, "This kid, he never talks to me about anything, I have to observe by myself. I never expected him to take the initiative to talk to you about it, he's definitely closer to you."
"After all, I am his homeroom teacher, and... actually—"
Lin Yi spoke with a bit of pride, "I also have a little secret with You You, but it's not convenient to tell you—"
"Ah."
Xia Anyang suddenly looked shocked.
"What's the matter, husband? Are you very interested in the little secret I just mentioned?"
Lin Yi said, "Even as your wife I can't tell you."
"No, nothing... I was just thinking about what you said,"
Xia Anyang coughed a few times in an attempt to change the subject:
"How can the relationship between the Fang Family and me be compared with that of You You and Nuo Nuo?"
"Why can't it be compared?"
Our teacher Lin Yi might be a homeroom teacher, but she is actually a lovely person born in the 2000s. She promptly frowned and placed her hands on her hips:
"You came out to play today and kept talking about if the Fang Family was here how things would be different, right? You don't even chat with everyone about your cute wife and kids racing cars... You don't even know where they're building the race cars."
"Ah? They're not building race cars at your house?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
As several parents looked at each other in bewilderment, Lin Yi suddenly clapped her hands, having a realization:
"That must be the race car they built at Ayu's house, next time I have a chance I should ask Ayu's parents about it."
By the way, Luo Xianyu's parents are like ghost parents, barely appearing in regular parent-child activities unless absolutely necessary, and often delegating childcare to the Xia Family and the Fang Family, adopting a 'whatever is comfortable' approach.
At that moment, Chen Xuan also nodded, "As long as You You is with them, there probably won't be any trouble…"
"You You, huh..."
Xia Anyang let out a long sigh of relief.
Lately, Old Xia's mood has been becoming a bit complex again.
Although he'd planned on contentedly leaving Nuo Nuo to You You from a very early time, the children were now at a dangerous and restless stage of adolescence where accidents could easily happen.
Now that the children had their own social circles, it wasn't convenient for adults to always keep an eye on them.
At the very least, at this time, shouldn't he also remind them not to do things that aren't appropriate for their age—
Ahhh...
This was really, too embarrassing to bring up, he just couldn't say it!
Whether their friendship had completely changed yet was still uncertain, if he brought it up, wouldn't it possibly accelerate the process?
If he let nature take its course, he worried about his daughter and You You taking things too far in their laissez-faire manner.
He felt even more at ease with You You; what concerned him was his impulsive daughter who always acted without considering the consequences.
Really, is this what a great dad at his age should be worrying about?
Shouldn't a great dad at this age just kick away any boy getting near his daughter?
But sometimes, I even drive them to school together!
What am I doing...
Xia Anyang's inner world was stormy.
But on the outside, he remained calm.
He suddenly realized that he and You You did share some similarities in character.
Forget it, let it be, I'm tired.
Just do what a dad's gotta do.
After all, that's what I am, a dad.
"Alright, after an intense competition, let's take a look. This next futuristic science-fiction car is amazing, it's said to be made by three kids"
"Three kids? I didn't see any kids, I only saw three beautiful young ladies and one… wow!"
"Wow! We can see that this motorcycle is very big, and these wings, they are just so—"
As Xiao Lu and A Niu were fully expressing their thoughts, suddenly a staff member rushed up, chatting away with Super A Niu in whispers.
"Ah, the director says those kids are really under 12 years old, so be more serious, Xiao Lu! You don't want to get hauled off, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Super Xiao Lu and Super A Niu looked at each other, then immediately seemed to make a certain decision, even their voices turning into a grand, slightly newscaster-like tone.
"Such an incredible sci-fi car, to think that it was made by some primary schoolers, that's truly outstanding, these reliable kids, you are the hope for our country's future, we uncles are so proud of you."
"It's said that this model is inspired by their own design, the 'Brilliant You Nuo' starship's second battle sequence, the bee-class sentinel fighter, and you can see the craftsmanship is very exquisite. Their battle suits are also incredibly cool and handsome."
"Let's see if they can clinch victory in today's challenge!"
