Skillful class attendance, trying to believe

Director Lin nearly dropped the apple in his hand at his nonsensical words.

“Wh-what?!”

The comments reacted even faster:

[So that’s where you can pick them up…]

[Shi Yun just exploded in like a little cannonball, so cute!]

[Teacher Shi is all dirty, I almost had a vision of “Dad, I’m back from gallivanting, and I brought a blonde and a kid!” (referring to the child and An Huaixu) (Unresponsible meme)!]

[The “gallivanting” and “blonde” got me, I really want to laugh a little. It’s all your fault, I can’t go back now!]

[Didn’t you hear a staff member’s voiceover just now? It was that Teacher Shi and An Huaixu chased after a child up the mountain, so this must be about that!]

[Really? Is this not a script?]

Before long, the hashtag ‘Shi Yun: I picked up a child’ was trending.

A bunch of onlookers followed the trail into the livestream.

Principal Zhang reacted even faster than Director Lin, hobbling out with his cane.

“Where did the child come from? Is he from the village or outside? Have you contacted his parents?”

Ani followed closely behind Principal Zhang, handing Shi Yun a towel. “Cui ge’s equipment can’t get wet, so we came back first.”

Looking at Shi Yun’s drenched state, she said with concern, “You two should go change clothes first, or you’ll catch a cold!”

With Ani’s reminder, Shi Yun realized that being soaking wet wasn’t very comfortable.

He asked Ani to find some children’s clothes for him.

Ani asked the child’s age and quickly ran off to find clothes.

Shi Yun used the opportunity to briefly explain what happened.

Director Lin understood. “So you think Qiaoqiao is a lost child?”

Shi Yun nodded. “Yes, we confirmed it on the way.”

Director Lin glanced at Qiaoqiao in An Huaixu’s arms.

“Yeah, you can tell from the child’s appearance that he’s very loved at home. How long has he been missing?”

Shi Yun initially thought that Qiaoqiao had been missing for a long time, given the state of the cave, but it turned out to be “A day and a half, maybe.”

He was both happy and worried.

Happy that the child hadn’t been wandering for too long, but worried that there might be other homeless children in the area that he didn’t know about.

Director Lin didn’t know what Shi Yun was thinking, but he had a plan for Qiaoqiao’s situation.

“How about this? I’ll have someone go to the police station later.

Qiaoqiao doesn’t have anywhere to go right now, so he can attend class in the small class first.

Maybe with more people watching the livestream, someone who recognizes Qiaoqiao will come looking for him.”

Principal Zhang agreed. “Both approaches together should be quicker.”

An Huaixu happened to walk over with Qiaoqiao at that moment.

Principal Zhang looked at the child’s pitiful state and felt even more sorry for him.

His tone softened unconsciously, and he said kindly, “Qiaoqiao, do you know your parents’ contact information?”

Qiaoqiao got closer to Principal Zhang, he was a little scared, and shook his head slightly while gripping the front of An Huaixu’s shirt.

Shi Yun sighed. “I asked Qiaoqiao with Huaixu ge on the way, but Qiaoqiao doesn’t remember anything.”

Principal Zhang was also hoping for a miracle, but had to give up hearing what Shi Yun said.

He touched Qiaoqiao’s head. “You’re a good boy.”

Turning to Shi Yun, he said, “Then let’s do that for now. You guys go change clothes quickly, you’ll catch a cold!”

Ani came over with a set of clothes, holding them up against Qiaoqiao.

“It’s a little big.”

Shi Yun thanked her and pulled An Huaixu into the changing room.

He first had An Huaixu put Qiaoqiao down on the floor, then soothed Qiaoqiao’s anxiety, saying gently,

“This is the kindergarten that gege told you about. In a little while, you’ll see a lot of kids.

Everyone is looking forward to becoming your friend!”

Qiaoqiao trusted Shi Yun a lot, and he was a little more cheerful with him.

He obediently raised his arms, letting Shi Yun take off his shirt, and hummed in agreement.

An Huaixu had spare clothes in the guest changing room.

He quickly changed, dried his hair slightly with a towel, and came over to replace Shi Yun.

Shi Yun didn’t argue with him, pulled Qiaoqiao’s shirt down, and naturally handed over the rest of the work to him.

“When do you think Qiaoqiao will find his family?”

“A day.”

Shi Yun didn’t doubt An Huaixu, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

“I hope it’s soon. Qiaoqiao really needs a sense of security right now, and only his parents can give him that.”

An Huaixu caught sight of Shi Yun taking off his shirt, revealing a large expanse of fair skin.

The gruesome scars on his waist were particularly striking.

An Huaixu took a deep breath, forcing himself to turn his head away.

Shi Yun didn’t notice and put on his shirt.

Just as he was about to take off his pants, An Huaixu picked up Qiaoqiao and fled out of the room, leaving behind a slightly flustered, “I’ll keep watch for you outside!”

Shi Yun tilted his head in confusion.

Keep watch over what?

The hashtag ‘Shi Yun: I picked up a child’ was still trending.

Not only were netizens helping, but the variety show and its producers were also quietly pushing it from behind.

The official account quickly explained Qiaoqiao’s situation and invited netizens to help Qiaoqiao find his family.

Inside the kindergarten.

Because it was raining outside today, the outdoor activity was changed to an indoor game.

In the small class, the children sat obediently in their seats, talking excitedly.

The six teachers stood at the edges of the room.

Principal Zhang clapped his hands. “Alright, children, Teacher Shi is going to bring a new friend to our small class later.

Let’s all welcome him warmly, okay?”

Guaiguai clapped her hands happily. “Okay! I love making friends!”

Dan Ze cheered. “I want to wrestle with him!”

Qi Dangdang: “Can I have a strength contest with him?”

The children spoke at once, instantly enlivening the atmosphere.

Principal Zhang winked at Shi Yun, who was standing outside the door.

Shi Yun crouched down and said a few more words to Qiaoqiao.

After confirming that the child was willing to be on camera and wasn’t resistant, he led Qiaoqiao inside.

Qiaoqiao stood still on the podium.

Shi Yun stood beside him, prompting, “Introduce yourself first.”

Qiaoqiao said haltingly, “M-my name is Yu Qiao. I’m four and a half years old.”

Fang Yuan’s surprised voice came from below. “He’s even younger than Jiang Nianyu!”

Jiang Nianyu nodded.

Jiang Song smoothed her hair and said softly, “Our Nianyu is going to be a big sister too.”

Jiang Nianyu’s eyes lit up instantly.

Shi Yun led Qiaoqiao to a seat, and the teachers took over the work of comforting him.

Children are kind and innocent.

Before long, Qiaoqiao relaxed in this atmosphere.

With the teachers’ guidance, Qiaoqiao finally smiled and gradually showed his youthful energy.

“Our first game is called Peach Blossom Blooms!”

Principal Zhang went back to rest, and Wei Ziyu organized the first game on the podium.

The children looked at each other, their chubby little faces filled with confusion.

Shi Yun’s heart was about to melt.

Since he didn’t have any work later, he and Ani sat on the sidelines, watching.

Ani was holding a phone, observing the comments.

Shi Yun asked curiously, “What are they saying?”

Ani tilted the phone to make it easier for Shi Yun to see the comments.

[An Huaixu without Shi Yun is listless.]

[The kids are so cute!]

[I posted Qiaoqiao’s photo on my WeChat Moments. I don’t know a lot of people, but if I can help, I will!]

[Qiaoqiao is so cute, you can tell he’s a spoiled baby. His family must be so worried!]

[Qiaoqiao was so helpless at first, but luckily, the kids and the teachers are all so nice.]

[I can’t imagine such a young child being outside. If he hadn’t met Teacher Shi, what would have happened…

It’s too scary, I’m going to find my mom to comfort my wounded heart.]

Shi Yun was happy to see that so many people were helping Qiaoqiao, regardless of whether they succeeded or not.

He gave a thumbs up. “Everyone is a good person!”

Ani was amused by his tone. “They’re right. It’s lucky you found Qiaoqiao, otherwise… I really can’t imagine the consequences.”

Shi Yun looked at Qiaoqiao’s figure and said sincerely, “I hope he can find his family soon.”

After playing the indoor games for a while, when the atmosphere was hot, Qiaoqiao became listless.

Shi Yun keenly noticed something was wrong.
At the same time, An Huaixu walked over, squatted down in front of Qiaoqiao, and touched his forehead, looking serious.

Shi Yun’s heart skipped a beat.

Qiaoqiao had a fever.

An Huaixu carried Qiaoqiao out in large strides.

Shi Yun followed him, looking worried. “Is he okay?”

An Huaixu shook his head. “He’s very hot.”

Shi Yun blamed himself. “I didn’t think this through. He was just frightened outside and got rained on. He should have rested well first…”

An Huaixu didn’t answer. He pushed open the door with one hand and called for a doctor.

The doctor put on his glasses, touched Qiaoqiao’s cheek, and put a thermometer under the child’s armpit.

Just as Shi Yun stood next to him, not saying anything, An Huaixu grabbed Shi Yun’s arm and pulled him out the door.

“What did you mean by what you said just now?”

Shi Yun was stunned for a moment.

An Huaixu seemed a little angry. “Why do you always take the blame for everything?

Is it your fault? Does it have anything to do with you?”

Shi Yun had never considered whether something had anything to do with him.

He thought that if it was something he was in charge of and didn’t handle well, then he was somewhat responsible.

However, although An Huaixu was being fierce, his concern wasn’t fake.

He was a little happy.

An Huaixu realized that he had spoken too harshly.

He looked at Shi Yun pondering and thought he’d take the chance to reason with him.

Before he could even say the words, Shi Yun’s sincerity instantly calmed all his anger, leaving only heartache.

Children who were very sensible from a young age always had this problem.

“This kind of thinking isn’t about right or wrong, but you’re not alone.

Don’t take on too much, you have me. You can relax a little, and trust me.”

Shi Yun stared fixedly at An Huaixu.

An Huaixu patted Shi Yun’s head and walked into the room, leaving Shi Yun stunned.

He clearly felt his heartbeat skip a few beats, and heat spread rapidly from his cheeks.

It was no exaggeration to say that this was the first time he had heard someone say something like that to him.
