Although Shen Yixiao spoke tough, he still moved closer.
One problem was explained.
Shen Qiushan also joined the group listening to the lecture.
After a while, Lin Xiamo returned to the office with takeout meals.
Only then did the three children realize that Vice Principal Lin (Second Aunt) was out buying food for them!
In the following days.
Almost every day was like this, Xu Pipa, the little teacher, was responsible for lecturing, while Shen Qiushan and his two children listened.
Lin Xiamo took the initiative to handle the logistics, ensuring that every noon they had nutritious lunches and a variety of fruits!
As for the negative opinions online, they gradually faded as new trending news appeared.
Until Yang Xijin suddenly posted on Weibo: I’ll be going to Sanjiang High School tomorrow to take a mock exam. Stay tuned!
Wang Zhixin also posted a video on his Kuaishin account, saying he would be going along with another reporter from the newspaper, Hao Bo, to join the mock exam at Sanjiang High School.
Their statements immediately revived the netizens’ forgotten memories.
"I forgot there was such a big gossip. Old Yang, go for it, I’m rooting for you!"
"Wasn’t there talk of a live broadcast? I definitely have to check out the excitement!"
"Finally, the day has come. I want to see how many points Old Deng, Shen Qiushan, can score."
"The exam is held at Sanjiang High School. Who knows if Shen Qiushan peeked at the paper in advance? So there’s no fairness at all!"
"Time flies, it’s been a month. I wonder how Old Deng’s Sanjiang University dream is going?"
In fact, not everyone forgot about Shen Qiushan, as many netizens were still awaiting the event’s follow-up.
With the mock exam about to begin, the event’s buzz was revived again.
There are 33 days left until the college entrance exam.
The day of the fourth mock exam at Sanjiang High School.
The siblings, Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao, got ready early.
"Why is Dad so slow today?"
Waiting in the living room, Shen Yixiao looked at the sliding door to Dad’s small room. Usually, the door was open, but today it was closed.
"Dad, Second Aunt is already here!"
Shen Yanran shouted into the room. To let the three of them focus on studying without wasting time commuting, Lin Xiamo took on the task of dropping them off to and picking them up from school.
Today is the big day for the mock exam, Lin Xiamo was even ten minutes earlier than usual and was already waiting downstairs.
Crash!
Just as Shen Yanran and Shen Yixiao were growing impatient, the sliding door finally opened.
Shen Qiushan walked out.
The siblings, ready to make a sarcastic remark, were suddenly stunned upon seeing their dad, both eyes instinctively widening.
"Dad?"
"Old Dad?"
The siblings opened their mouths in surprise and exchanged glances.
Today’s dad was so handsome they hardly recognized him!
The usually unkempt dad, today, had a clean and neat hairstyle, his sideburns trimmed tidy.
The casual wear he’s worn for ages was replaced by a navy-blue suit.
Underneath, he wore a crisp white shirt, its collar standing firm, and a dark red tie.
Not only did his attire change, but today Shen Qiushan also carried an air of mature manly steadiness and confidence in his brow.
"How did our dad suddenly become so handsome?"
Shen Yixiao muttered.
"He is super handsome!"
"Much more handsome than TV stars!"
The shock shared earlier dissipated, and Shen Yanran smiled gleefully, thinking her dad’s handsomeness was something to be proud of.
Just then, Old Shen emerged from the back room, catching sight of Shen Qiushan’s outfit. He paused, then jokingly remarked, "Qiushan, why did you dig out your wedding suit?"
