On Teacher's Day.
The sunshine resembled a gentle veil, slowly enveloping the entire room.
Tang Yuxin glanced up at the clock on the wall, furrowing her delicate brows slightly.
There was an early class today, and she really couldn't find the time to take the kids to school, which was a bit regrettable.
Xiao Fei calmly finished his breakfast, a mysterious smile curling at the corners of his mouth, subtly sending a meaningful glance to the children, as if to say "It's time to take action."
Before long, the eldest child, the most robust in physique, walked out cautiously holding a meticulously crafted bouquet of silk flowers.
Their manner suggested they were holding a rare treasure, fearing it might be damaged with the slightest carelessness.
At that moment, Tang Yuxin was standing at the entryway, tidying up her bag while chatting idly with Xiao Fei.
"Honey, there's a lunch gathering at work today, so I won't be home for lunch."
As she spoke, her eyes focused intently on Xiao Fei, as if observing his reaction.
Xiao Fei's face was full of concern, and with a sincere tone, he earnestly advised, "You don't hold your liquor well. Listen to me, don't drink alcohol, just have some juice or soda.
If someone insists you drink, and you can't refuse, be sure to call me. I'll come pick you up immediately, don't forget!"
Tang Yuxin deftly changed her shoes, reached out to take the keys from the entry, and then playfully jumped into Xiao Fei's arms, standing on tiptoe to gently kiss his cheek, speaking with a tone of feigned pettiness, "Got it, I'm not a three-year-old, I can take care of myself!"
Just then, the children came running out of the room, bouncing around with bright smiles, excitedly shouting, "Mom, Happy Teacher's Day!"
"We hope you look as beautiful as a fairy every day!"
"Mom, you've done so much for us, we hope you'll like the gift we've prepared!"
Tang Yuxin was both surprised and delighted, unconsciously covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes instantly welling up with tears, her voice trembling slightly as she asked, "Are these flowers... for Mom?"
The eldest child stepped forward, his face beaming with a smile, respectfully handing the flowers to Tang Yuxin, explaining, "Mom, we made these with our own hands, Dad said to give you a big surprise!"
Quiet all this time, the third child had eyes that smiled like crescent moons, full of expectation on their face, and cautiously asked, "Mom, do you like it?"
Tang Yuxin joyfully accepted the flowers, her voice filled with excitement, "I love it, Mom loves it so much! Thank you, my darlings, Mom loves you!"
After speaking, she hugged each child close, kissing their innocent little faces again and again.
Finally, she gave Xiao Fei a deep kiss on the lips, saying gratefully, "Honey, thanks to you!"
After Tang Yuxin left with the flowers, Xiao Fei lightly clapped his hands and laughed, saying to the children, "Alright, we should head to school too. Grab your little backpacks and the gifts for the teachers, let's go!"
At school, Tang Yuxin noticed many students carrying carefully prepared gifts, their faces brimming with happiness, creating a festive atmosphere that she couldn't help but feel.
In the classroom, her children enthusiastically distributed gifts to each teacher, offering sincere blessings.
Holding the flowers, Tang Yuxin went to the office.
Her colleague saw and exclaimed, "Wow, flowers from students, how beautiful!"
Tang Yuxin smiled proudly and shook her head, "No, they're from my kids."
Saying that, she placed the flowers in the most prominent spot on the desk, gazing at them, the children's innocent smiles seemed to appear right before her eyes, filling her heart with warmth.
In the evening, when Tang Yuxin returned home, she saw the children sitting patiently at the dining table waiting for her. Guilt flashed in her eyes, and she softly said, "Darlings, I'm sorry for coming home late, are you starving?"
The children all shook their heads, while Xiao Fei, busy serving the dishes, smiled warmly on the side, "Don't worry, they're clever enough not to let themselves go hungry."
Sitting at the dining table, Tang Yuxin looked at the dishes, all her favorites, and said with heartfelt bliss, "Honey, thank you for your hard work!"
Xiao Fei gave a cheeky smile, teasingly saying, "Then you better reward me well tonight."
Tang Yuxin feigned ignorance, picking up her chopsticks, she said, "I'm starting now."
…
At the end of September, the school would hold an autumn sports meet.
The teacher posted the news in the parent group chat, and the children were overjoyed, even specially buying a uniform set of children's camouflage clothing.
The parents also placed orders, preparing to participate in activities with their children at the sports meet.
Considering the lack of hands, Xiao Fei invited Su Qingyan and Guo Yong to join as well.
Su Qingyan, always fond of lively events, brightened at the mention of a sports meet, full of anticipation.
A few days later, the camouflage uniforms for both adults and children arrived.
After washing and drying them, the sports day came as scheduled.
Due to events in the class, parents needed to be at the school by 8 a.m. to do makeup for their children.
So, Su Qingyan and Guo Yong arrived at Cuihu Villa the night before.
The next morning, everyone came to the school.
Tang Yuxin noticed that the students and parents of each class had their own unique themes in their outfits.
In Class One, both adults and children were dressed in camouflage, while in Class Two, the kids wore red tracksuits and the parents yellow T-shirts. Class Three had both adults and children in green outfits.
The night before, after the children put on camouflage, they excitedly grabbed toy guns and played role-playing games with Su Qingyan and Guo Yong.
Everyone chased each other, laughing continuously and having a great time.
At eight o'clock sharp, four teachers began to do makeup for the children.
The teacher specifically explained to the parents: "These foundations are all skin-friendly and won't harm the kids' skin, and even adults with sensitive skin can use them..."
The teacher skillfully applied even layers of foundation on the children and carefully applied dark blue eyeshadow and bright lipstick.
At first, the makeup looked quite nice.
But when Su Qingyan saw the children's cheeks looking as red as ripe apples, she couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, clutching her stomach, she said, "This makeup is just 'a timeless classic.' I used to be made up like this when I participated in events as a kid too!"
Tang Yuxin also laughed along, nodding and said, "Me too, this was the kind of makeup we had for performances when I was a child."
Xiao Fei standing next to them couldn't help but laugh too, saying, "Looking at old photos, I had the same 'matching makeup' when I was a kid."
The teachers placed pretty stickers on the children's cheeks and handed each of them a toy gun.
The mischievous second child immediately grabbed the toy gun and charged around the classroom, having a blast.
After the makeup was finished, the teachers instructed the parents to take the children's small stools and sit in the designated area on the playground to wait.
The teachers then led the children to gather in an orderly manner.
Today the sunshine was particularly bright, and the parents sat neatly on their small stools.
At this point, a parent frowned and complained, "Why does the school still make parents move things themselves? At the previous school, everything was arranged perfectly for the parents."
"Exactly, this playground is too small, how can they hold sports events here?"
Some parents agreed, while others remained silent.
The school's broadcast started, the familiar melody and voice filled Su Qingyan with emotion.
She sat on the little stool, looking nostalgic, and said, "I used to be performing on stage, but now I'm sitting in the audience."
Tang Yuxin sat next to her, leaned in, and whispered, "So when are you getting married?"
Su Qingyan rolled her eyes exaggeratedly and said vexedly, "Getting married for what? I don't want to be bound by marriage so early!"
Tang Yuxin said in a low voice, "I accidentally overheard Xiao Fei on a call with Guo Yong the other day. It seems like Guo Yong is quite close to you guys. Are you two together? Also, didn't you tell me you were no longer single? Don't tell me your partner is Guo Yong?"
Su Qingyan's face instantly turned panicked, and she quickly whispered, "Don't say nonsense!"
Seeing Su Qingyan's flustered expression, Tang Yuxin already had her answer, teasingly saying, "So what are you going to do? I also heard Guo Yong is planning to propose soon."
Su Qingyan's face briefly showed panic, her eyes a bit evasive, she asked, "Really?"
Tang Yuxin squinted her eyes and joked, "Oh, now you're not admitting?"
Su Qingyan widened her eyes and said vexedly, "Go away, we agreed to let things take their course. I still want to enjoy my freedom more and don't want to get married so early."
The news of Guo Yong's proposal apparently left Su Qingyan at a loss.
Tang Yuxin felt, as a close friend, she had to advise her, "You should have a good talk with Guo Yong. He's a very nice man and is wholeheartedly devoted to you."
Su Qingyan sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, I'll find a time to talk to him. If we can't come to an agreement, we can just break up."
Tang Yuxin heard this and didn't know what to say for a moment...
