Chapter 355 - 329: Are You Planning to Devote Yourself to Him?
"Qingqing, Weiwei, you shouldn’t treat your friends like this; it’s not polite..." Gently pressing down Qingqing and Weiwei’s chubby little hands, he affectionately patted their little heads.
"Daddy, I know that!"
Qingqing and Weiwei nodded obediently, but they became clingy, holding onto Huang Jun’s leg, as if declaring their claim.
Huang Jun immediately understood their intentions and couldn’t help but laugh.
He crouched down, smiling as he spoke to the other children, "Kids, I can’t be your gym teacher because if I did, I wouldn’t have time to make delicious meals and snacks for you."
"Oh, I see..." Upon hearing Huang Jun’s words, a hint of disappointment appeared on the children’s faces.
But compared to losing the delicious food Huang Jun made, they’d rather choose the latter.
Besides.
Many of their ideas are just spur-of-the-moment, fleeting quickly, and after the disappointment, they immediately changed their tune, "Then we won’t have Chef Huang Uncle teach us kung fu as a gym teacher, you just keep making good food!"
"Okay!" Huang Jun nodded, "Then you go play! I’ll make afternoon snacks for you!"
The children were instantly captivated, chattering away excitedly.
"Yeah, yeah, I love your afternoon snacks, Uncle Chef Huang! They’re all so delicious! I can’t eat enough, never get tired of them!"
"Yes, yes, I also really love the meals and snacks Qingqing’s daddy makes!"
"I also really, really love them!"
"I love them a thousand times over!"
"..."
All at once...
The children used all the words they knew to express their love for Huang Jun’s cooking, making his heart filled with joy. He also thought they were the most adorable little food connoisseurs!
He absolutely loved them!
Just for their sincere compliments, he decided to pour his heart into preparing the afternoon snacks to repay these little darlings for their love of his culinary skills.
At that moment.
All the class teachers came over, smiling as they said to the children, "Alright, alright, kids, don’t all crowd here, go and play by yourselves!"
"Okay, teacher, goodbye Chef Huang Uncle (Qingqing’s daddy)..."
The children obediently nodded, waving goodbye to Huang Jun, then scattered in all directions to find their own fun.
The teachers saw this and smiled, reminding them, "Slow down, don’t run around..."
Unfortunately.
The only response was the sight of the children running farther away.
Huang Jun looked at Qingqing and Weiwei, speaking gently, "Qingqing, Weiwei, you should go play with the other kids too."
"I want to stay with Daddy!"
The two little ones shook their heads like little rattles, but their eyes occasionally glanced toward the slide.
Seeing their reluctance and eagerness to play, Huang Jun smiled and reassured them, "Don’t worry, Daddy won’t leave; I’ll be right here watching you play."
"But Daddy, you mustn’t leave..." Qingqing and Weiwei confirmed over and over.
"Yes, Daddy won’t leave." Huang Jun nodded firmly.
With Huang Jun’s promise, Qingqing and Weiwei finally held hands and happily ran toward the slide.
Huang Jun watched them with a smile.
Cai Jingxian approached Huang Jun, her face full of gratitude, and said, "Chef Huang, you were our savior this time. We didn’t expect you to be so brave, risking your life to rescue us."
"That’s right, Chef Huang, you were so heroic, just like a hero in a movie! Did you dream of being a hero since you were a kid?" Zheng Yujia half-jokingly asked.
"To be honest, when Chef Huang appeared, I was almost moved to tears," Yang Yuxi said softly, with a strange gleam in her beautiful eyes, "I never thought there would be someone in this world, besides my parents, willing to risk everything for me. It truly makes me feel like I have no regrets in this life."
Xie Jianing playfully put her arm around Yang Yuxi’s shoulder, teasing her softly, "What? Did Chef Huang come to rescue you, and now you’re thinking of promising yourself to him for life?"
As soon as those words came out, Yang Yuxi’s cheeks instantly blushed crimson. She shyly brushed her hair in front of her forehead, trying to ease the sudden awkwardness.
Alright, she admitted it.
When Huang Jun escorted the "terrorist" to the activity room’s front door, facing off with the other "terrorists"...
At that moment...
She truly saw him as a hero in golden armor, riding on colorful clouds, descending from the heavens.
Brave and fearless!
Although she had already been informed that it was merely an anti-riot drill, she also understood that in such a situation, no one would actually come to rescue her.
Yet, Huang Jun suddenly appeared.
In an unexpected moment, he stepped forward, disregarding his own safety, to save them.
His appearance was like a blazing light in the darkness, warm and dazzling, giving her hope and courage...
Xie Jianing, seeing the faint blush bloom on Yang Yuxi’s fair cheek, couldn’t help but tease again, "Oh my, Miss Yang, why is your face as red as an apple? Could it be that I hit the nail on the head?"
Hearing this, nearby teachers couldn’t contain their gossiping curiosity either, each itching to grab a little stool, sit in a row, and snack on seeds, joining in as eager onlookers.
Yang Yuxi: "..."
Miss Xie, which eye of yours saw me blushing?
I... I’m clearly just sunburned...
Yang Yuxi turned her head, cast a slightly reproachful and pretty side-eye at Xie Jianing, and mildly said, "Miss Xie, don’t speak nonsense! Chef Huang saved all of us, not just me. If anyone should promise themselves, it should be everyone together."
"Oh? So it seems you’re not entirely opposed to the idea of ’promising yourself’, huh, Miss Yang!" Xie Jianing smiled playfully, looking deeply at Yang Yuxi.
Yang Yuxi: "..."
Hmph, what’s wrong with not opposing, but who knows if Huang...
Ah...
Yang Yuxi, what are you thinking?
She shook her head, trying to clear the chaotic thoughts from her mind, but maintained her usual composure, with a slight smile on her lips, "Miss Xie, I had no idea you were so good at ’twisting truths’, I’ve really underestimated you..."
Xie Jianing countered, "I’m not ’twisting truths’, I’m just ’speaking to the heart’."
Yang Yuxi: "..."
A truly eloquent Miss Xie...
Since arguing doesn’t work...
Then all that’s left is...
Yang Yuxi’s mischievous hands reached out to Xie Jianing, preparing to give her a ticklish lesson.
In response.
Xie Jianing was startled by the sudden action, hastily reminding, "Hey, no physical contact, gentlemen use words, not force."
"But I’m not a gentleman; I’m a lady..." Yang Yuxi playfully retorted.
With that, she proceeded to "punish" Xie Jianing, causing Xie Jianing to laugh and beg for mercy.
Huang Jun, having witnessed this increasingly off-topic conversation and Yang Yuxi’s overwhelming embarrassment, was at a loss for words, resorting to an awkward but polite smile.
He decided to shift his focus, turning his gaze towards the distant slide, pretending not to notice their teasing, attempting to ease the odd tension in the air.
At that point, Jiang Xinzhuo approached with a smile, saying, "Chef Huang, I have a question, if I may?"
