After a Flash Marriage With the Disabled Tyrant - Chap 100
When Shi Yunnan stopped the car, Wen Yibei’s call happened to come in.
“Hello, brother.”
“Yunnan, are you and Lingsheng free this afternoon?”
Shi Yunnan estimated the time, saying, “We should be. What’s the matter, brother?”
“Grandpa said it’s been a long time since he last saw Little Goldfish. Seeing that today is Friday, I want you to come to my house for dinner.”
“The old man is tired of seeing us brothers,” said Wen Yibei on the other end of the phone as he chuckled. “He’s been talking about Little Goldfish every day lately.”
Shi Yunnan got out of the car and closed the door. “I just arrived at the entrance of his school,” he said. “The midterm parent-teacher conference is going to be held today. I will take him over there when it’s over.”
Wen Yibei was silent for two seconds and then laughed, saying, “Before you know it, you’re already at the age where you’re going to parent-teacher meetings?”
“Brother, don’t forget that you are the same age as me.”
Shi Yunnan passed by the bulletin board at the school gate, checked his appearance through the glass mirror, and said, “To be honest, I’m a little nervous about the sudden parent-teacher meeting.”
Wen Yibei replied, “Little Goldfish’s grades are so good, you just wait for the teacher to praise him.”
Shi Yunnan thought of his little nephew’s cleverness, and a look of satisfaction flowed from his eyes, “That’s right, I’ll hang up first. We’ll talk when we meet later.”
“Ok.”
Shi Yunnan ended the call with Wen Yibei and notified Luo Lingsheng on WeChat, then he walked towards Little Goldfish’s class.
As soon as Shi Yunnan reached the second floor, he found the figure of Little Goldfish guarding the stairs, “Little uncle!”
“Baby, why are you here?”
Little Goldfish held Shi Yunnan’s hand, very excited, and said, “I’m waiting for you!”
There used to be parent-teacher meetings in kindergartens, but at that time Luo Lingsheng’s legs were inconvenient, so Grandpa Qin went instead.
Now Little Goldfish’s first official parent-teacher conference since the start elementary school was attended by Shi Yunnan, and he had been looking forward to it for a long time.
As soon as the two of them entered the classroom holding hands, many parents and children in the same class immediately looked over, and three or four bold children joined in directly.
“Wow! Jinyu, your father is so good-looking!”
“Your father is so young! He looks like a big star.”
When Little Goldfish heard these compliments, although he didn’t respond verbally, a little pride appeared on his expression.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from the side, “You are all wrong! This is Jinyu’s uncle! I told you before that Jinyu’s uncle is very good-looking, right?”
Shi Yunnan met the little girl’s gaze, and she immediately ran up and said, “Uncle! Do you remember me?”
“I remember.” Shi Yunnan remained patient with the children, “Sheng Meng, right?”
When Sheng Meng heard Shi Yunnan accurately report her name, her eyes lit up immediately and she said, “That’s right! Uncle, I guessed that you would come to the parent-teacher meeting. Are you free to visit my house today?”
Another similar invitation
“…”
Little Goldfish shook Shi Yunnan’s hand and said, in a jealous tone, “No! Little uncle, you sit in my seat! The parent-teacher meeting is about to begin!”
After saying that, he pulled Shi Yunnan to the desk he had carefully arranged and used the word “teacher” as an excuse to keep away the other children who were joining in the fun.
Shi Yunnan took his seat and simply hugged Little Goldfish to his knees, saying, “Little Vinegar, so you’re not happy? Wasn’t it you who said that you wanted me to come to the parent-teacher conference?”
“But everyone wants to chat with you.” Little Goldfish said sullenly, “I don’t like it.”
The latter half of the sentence was obviously from the heart.
Shi Yunnan frowned slightly and readjusted Little Goldfish’s sitting posture, allowing him to communicate with himself face to face, “Little goldfish, look at me; I have something very important to talk to you about. ”
Little Goldfish sensed the seriousness hidden in Shi Yunnan’s tone, and adjusted his attitude in a muffled voice.
“Didn’t your uncle and I promise you a long time ago that we would grow up with you like other children’s parents? To never leave you?”
Little Goldfish nodded, “…um.”
Shi Yunnan coaxed him, “So, no matter whether other children like me or not or want to chat with me, it won’t affect you.”
“I am your little uncle; I will always like you the most, understand?”
Little Goldfish nodded slightly ashamedly as Shi Yunnan guessed his little thoughts, “I’m sorry; I shouldn’t be so selfish.”
“No, it’s not selfish, and I don’t want to blame you.” Shi Yunnan patted him on the back to comfort him and then began to talk about other matters.
“Little goldfish, it’s been almost two months since school started; have you made any good friends in class?”
“…”
Little Goldfish was silent.
Seeing this, Shi Yunnan’s mind came up with the four big characters of “Sure enough.”
Those kids in the same class were initially speaking to the little goldfish in a friendly manner, but the latter barely opened his mouth to respond. In the absence of a bad attitude, it is obvious that the young nephew of the family does not want to fit in.
Shi Yunnan touched his cheek and coaxed in a low voice, “Why? Our little goldfish obviously likes to talk and communicate so much at home.”
Facing Shi Yunnan’s questioning, Little Goldfish lowered his head, his eyes slightly turning red.
“When I was in kindergarten, I thought Su Lixiang was my best friend, but he dragged me to the bathroom at summer camp and ended up leaving me in the bathroom alone…..”
Then, Little Goldfish, who was alone, was easily kidnapped and taken away by Luo Yanchuan.
Little Goldfish unexpectedly found out later that this “good friend” didn’t even tell the teacher that he was missing right away.
Because of this, Little Goldfish was disappointed for a long time, but he never told anyone.
“Little uncle, it’s fine for me to go to school by myself; I don’t want to make friends.”
“…”
Shi Yunnan suddenly reacted; a tinge of pain filled his heart, and his serious face immediately softened, “Little goldfish, listen to me; our life is very long, and we will meet different people at every stage.”
“En?”
“Just like you met Su Lixiang and others when you were in kindergarten, and now you have new classmates when you go to elementary school…”
“Everyone’s personality is different. Some are lively and cheerful; some are shy and introverted; some are brave and strong; and some are timid.”
Shi Yunnan held his little nephew’s face and analyzed each word with him.
“You will slowly grow up, slowly discern right from wrong, and then you will know how to discern which are your true friends with your heart.”
Little Goldfish obediently sat on Shi Yunnan’s lap, focusing on understanding the meaning of this passage: “But little uncle, I still can’t see it.”
He stopped and thought for a while and expressed his distress: “What if the new friends I make still leave me behind?”
“That’s their choice. We can’t interfere. You can feel unhappy, angry, and depressed, but you can’t stop because of one failure.”
Shi Yunnan gently wiped away the moisture from the corners of Little Goldfish’s eyes and gave him affirmation—
“Our little goldfish is so cute and handsome, has a good personality, and is smart. There must be many people who would like to make friends with you, but the premise is that you have to go out and communicate again.”
As long as you live in this world, you cannot avoid this.
His little nephew is now “resisting making friends,” and there seems to be no major problem in the short term, but in the long run, after graduating and leaving the family, it will affect his normal social interaction to some extent.
“One day, you will meet good friends who are especially compatible.”
Shi Yunnan paused for a while and made an analogy: “It’s like me and Uncle Fu and Yuan Rui, and also like your uncle and Uncle Yu Shuo.”
Little Goldfish confirmed again and again, “Is it really possible? I also want to make good friends like you, little uncle.”
“Of course, I’m your good friend,” Shi Yunnan chuckled, “but I hope you can have more friends, do you understand?”
Little Goldfish smiled contentedly, then nodded solemnly, “I understand, Little Uncle.”
As soon as his voice fell, there was a movement beside him—
A short-haired woman in a windbreaker sat down, and beside her were two familiar children, Sheng Wan and Sheng Meng, the brother and sister whom he had met before.
Shi Yunnan looked up at the woman with short hair, and the other side motioned, “Mr. Shi?”
Shi Yunnan was a little surprised, “Ma’am, do you recognize me?”
The short-haired woman smiled calmly and said, “Yes. “Your and Mr. Luo’s wedding suits were the niche luxury custom brand I created abroad.”
Shi Yunnan belatedly realized, “Are you… designer Joanne?”
“My Chinese name is Sheng Huai’an.”
Shi Yunnan subconsciously looked at the two siblings and said, “Ms. Sheng looks very young.”
“Isn’t Mr. Shi also young?” Sheng Huai’an smiled back.
She heard the question hidden in Shi Yunnan’s words and answered frankly, “I am not married and don’t want to place my so-called happiness on others.”
She has the ability, career, and plans to live on her own with ease and style.
Sheng Wan and Sheng Meng were adopted from abroad by her by chance, but she referred to them as “twins” only because they were of similar ages. Last year, because of a job change, she returned to China with her two children.
Shi Yunnan admired everyone’s decision and said, “Ms. Sheng lives very freely.”
“Thanks.”
“Mom, he is the Luo Jinyu who helped Sheng Wan on the first day of school!” Sheng Meng took the opportunity to say, “Sheng Wan and I want to be friends with him, right?”
Sheng Wan, who was forcibly pulled out, blushed slightly, looked away, and said nothing.
Sheng Huai’an had heard about this a long time ago, but she never found the right time to express her gratitude to Little Goldfish and his parents. Now she simply took this opportunity to express her sincere gratitude.
“Luo Jinyu, thank you; if you have any problems in the future, I will help you as well,” Sheng Wan blushed and thanked again.
Thinking of Shi Yunnan’s words, Little Goldfish finally accepted the conversation with a friendly smile: “You’re welcome; classmates should help each other.”
Sheng Meng next to them seemed to have discovered a new world, “Wow! Luo Jinyu, you look so cute when you smile!”
“…”
Little Goldfish was suddenly embarrassed when he heard the sudden praise.
Sheng Huai’an squeezed her daughter’s mouth: “My family used to stay abroad, so Mengmeng is very direct.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Shi Yunnan replied, then leaned into his little nephew’s ear and chuckled, “See, our little goldfish is so great, receiving a compliment out of nowhere.”
The corner of Little Goldfish’s mouth raised a little more, “Hmm!”
After the two chatted for a few words, the head teacher came up and officially opened the parent-teacher meeting.
…
9 p.m.
After returning from the meal, Shi Yunnan immediately gestured with the award certificate, saying, “First in the mid-term grade, look at this award certificate, Little Goldfish really makes me proud!”
“Say, shouldn’t we frame this?”
“Model parent, are you that happy?” Luo Lingsheng asked helplessly.
“Of course.”
Shi Yunnan approached Luo Lingsheng and said, “For this certificate, I plan to take Little Goldfish to play in the amusement park this weekend; are you free?”
“amusement park?”
“En.”
When Shi Yunnan was still young, Wen Min had promised the two brothers that as long as they got a certificate of merit in the primary school exam, she would take them to play in the amusement park.
It’s just that before this wish could be fulfilled, Wen Min died unexpectedly, which can be regarded as his childhood regret.
Luo Lingsheng swept Shi Yunnan into his arms and stole a kiss with ease, asking, “Are you sure you didn’t want to go yourself?”
Shi Yunnan was not tripped up by past regrets; he properly placed the certificate on the table and instead asked back with a bit of brashness, “Tch, just tell us if you’ll accompany us there?”
“I will.” Luo Lingsheng answered without any hesitation.
Shi Yunnan snorted, patted his lover’s shoulder to signal him to sit down, and said, “I still have something to tell you.”
“what?”
Shi Yunnan organized his speech and informed Luo Lingsheng of the situation he noticed before the parent meeting started.
Luo Lingsheng frowned slightly, saying, “…It seems that we were still negligent, but luckily you noticed it in time.”
Shi Yunnan nodded and said, “I think Little Goldfish has listened to my advice. Shall we wait for some time before talking with him again?”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Shi Yunnan smiled and temporarily put aside the matter of raising children, saying, “… Every time I eat with my grandfather, I feel like I can grow several kilograms of meat overnight.”
Luo Lingsheng kissed his lips and said, “Really?”
“I have to find a way…” Shi Yunnan returned the kiss, “…to aid digestion.”
Luo Lingsheng put his hand into his bathrobe, deliberately teasing him, “Aren’t you afraid you’ll oversleep again tomorrow?”
Shi Yunnan was a little tickled from being rubbed by his fingers and reacted like a cat being scratched, “Forget it if you don’t want to.”
Luo Lingsheng ignored his rhetoric and replied with action instead.
…
Sunday.
The family of three arrived at the amusement park.
“Wow! Uncle, look! There are big dinosaurs over there!” It was the first time for Little Goldfish to come to such a large park, and his joy was hard to contain, “It’s so much fun, where shall we go first?”
Luo Lingsheng wasn’t familiar with this place, “Don’t worry, wait until your little uncle comes back.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Shi Yunnan came back from not far away with a guidebook for their tour.
He tiled the map on the guide, a little bit excited that it didn’t fit his “mature” age, and said, “Come and see, baby; let’s study it carefully!”
Little Goldfish responded immediately, “Good!”
Luo Lingsheng looked at the big and small ones staring at the map, studying and gesturing as if they were coming up with military strategies. He was silently guarding behind them, helplessly but pamperingly shaking his head—aren’t they just two kids?
Shi Yunnan cooperated with Little Goldfish to study the itinerary excitedly, and was just about to start today’s plan when they ran into an acquaintance within a few steps.
“Luo Jinyu! It’s really you!”
Sheng Meng, who was wearing a beautiful little skirt, ran up to recognize him, and greeted Shi Yunnan in a familiar manner, “Hello, Uncle!”
As soon as the words fell, Sheng Huai’an led Sheng Wan closer, “Mr. Shi, we meet again.”
“Yes, what a coincidence.” Shi Yunnan replied.
He then took the initiative to introduce Luo Lingsheng, saying, “These two are Little Goldfish’s classmates; Ms. Sheng is designer Joanne. Our wedding formal wear is the brand under her.”
Luo Ling understood and nodded politely, “Hello.”
Sheng Huai’an smiled calmly. She could see that her two children wanted to be accompanied by Little Goldfish, so she asked politely, “If you don’t mind, would you like the children to play together?”
Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng looked at each other; they did not directly approve or veto the proposal but left the decision in the hands of the little nephew.
Luo Lingsheng asked, “Jinyu? Do you want to play together?”
Both of them hope that Little Goldfish can take the step of making friends again, but they will not interfere with his freedom to choose friends.
This time, Little Goldfish didn’t resist as much as before and said, “Yes.”
Sheng Meng, who originally thought that Little Goldfish would refuse, turned around happily.
Sheng Wan next to her was still silent, but there was a gleam of light in his eyes. He was a boy, after all, so he naturally hoped to have boys of the same age as companions to play with.
Sunday is the peak period for tourists, and they need to line up for every ride, but for children, as long as they can play, the time spent is worth it.
The two families waited in line for nearly half an hour before arriving at the front row of the “Flying Wheel.” It was their turn to ride in the next round.
The staff stared at the heights of Little Goldish and others and reminded them aloud, “These three children are not yet eight years old, right? They need adults to sit with them later.”
When Little Goldfish heard this, he grabbed Shi Yunnan immediately and said, “Little uncle, shall we go together?”
“Sure.”
Shi Yunnan answered.
Luo Lingsheng wasn’t interested in these rides, so he naturally obeyed their arrangements.
A question came from the side: “Mom, what should we do then? Both Sheng Wan and I want to play.”
Sheng Huai’an was a little hesitant; her own child was not familiar with Luo Lingsheng, so she definitely couldn’t trouble him.
“Xiao Wan, sister will play first; mommy will take you up later, okay?”
The staff heard this and said, “Hello, we have regulations here; if the tourists who are scheduled give up their turn, they will have to line up again.”
“…”
The two families agreed to play together, so they couldn’t let Luo Jinyu and his family waste time because of them.
Seeing the long queue behind him, Sheng Wan suppressed the reluctance in his eyes and said, “Mom, I won’t play. You can take Sister to play. I’ll wait for you to come down.”
What a good child.
Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng glanced at each other, and they guessed what the other was thinking.
Before they could think of a word, Little Goldfish suddenly shook Shi Yunnan’s hand and asked, “Little uncle, can you ride with Sheng Wan? I’ll go up with Uncle.”
Faced with his unsolicited proposal, Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Doesn’t this little vinegar jar usually dislike it the most when he gets in touch with other children?
“Little Uncle?”
“Okay, you can decide.”
Little Goldfish confirmed the answer and then took the initiative to pull Sheng Wan over: “Sheng Wan, why don’t you go with my little uncle? We’ve all been waiting in line for so long, it’s a pity not to ride it.”
Little Uncle said that he should take the initiative to make friends.
It was Sheng Wan’s first time to see Little Goldfish actively communicate with him, so his ears turned slightly red.
His eyes moved back and forth between Sheng Huai’an and Shi Yunnan and finally fell back on Little Goldfish, “Can I?”
“Of course!”
Little Goldfish seemed to notice his shyness, so he took the initiative to bring him to Shi Yunnan’s side, saying, “Sheng Wan, my little uncle is not only handsome but also has a good personality. You don’t have to be afraid as long as he’s here!”
Shi Yunnan hid the smile at the corner of his mouth; his little nephew was really thick-skinned.
Ding Dong!
A new round of entry prompts sounded
Shi Yunnan fully cooperated with his little nephew’s arrangement and took Sheng Wan’s little hand and said, “Let’s go; let’s ride together.”
Sheng Huai’an breathed a sigh of relief, “Mr. Shi, thank you.”
“You’re welcome; the kids are friends, as long as they’re happy.” Shi Yunnan said, giving his lover another look.
Understanding the expression in his eyes, Luo Lingsheng took the initiative to pick up Little Goldfish, tacitly saying the compliment in Shi Yunnan’s heart, “Jinyu, you’re doing great like this.”
Little Goldfish was suddenly praised by the “big patriarch,” and the hair on his head trembled with joy, “Uncle!”
“Hm?”
“Hurry up! I want to sit in the dinosaur one.”
“Ok.”
Because of this unexpected but happy incident, Little Goldfish’s friendship with the two siblings of the Sheng family has grown quickly, and the three of them can play together in several rides that do not require an adult to accompany them.
There was an open-air lawn on the east side of the amusement park where the three children, who had finished playing, were running happily.
When Luo Lingsheng came back from buying mineral water, he found Shi Yunnan sitting in a high corner of the stepped seats around the lawn, with all kinds of noise coming from all around him. He was the only one sitting quietly.
For some reason, Luo Lingsheng suddenly remembered the graduation ceremony that year.
Only this time, the stepped seats could no longer stop him from approaching Shi Yunnan.
Shi Yunnan noticed Luo Lingsheng as soon as he arrived, and the smile on his lips became more and more obvious as the distance between the two shortened.
Luo Lingsheng fell into his smile and handed him the mineral water, “Why are you sitting here alone? Are you tired?”
Of course, I was waiting for you to find me.
Shi Yunnan, who took the mineral water, answered to himself. He watched Luo Lingsheng sit down next to him, and the unquenchable love in his heart made him clasp the other party’s hand tightly.
The two sat there quietly.
The setting sun slanted on the huge lawn, and the late autumn wind carried a burst of sweet-scented osmanthus aroma from nowhere.
Little Goldfish ran wantonly underneath; besides the brother and sister of the Sheng family, there were a few new friends beside him.
Shi Yunnan recalled the little child he first met in the kindergarten and couldn’t help but imagine what Little Goldfish would look like when he grew up; he then subconsciously called out his lover’s name.
“Luo Lingsheng.”
“Hm?”
“It’s been two and a half years in the blink of an eye. It seems that Little Goldfish will grow up soon, and we will also grow old without realizing it…”
Luo Lingsheng held his hand tightly, hiding his affection in a calm promise, “But I will be by your side.”
Shi Yunnan’s heart was suddenly filled with warmth; he already knew the answer but couldn’t help asking, “Really?”
“Really.”
They have been reunited for two years; they first met ten years ago.
His feelings will never change.
Their feelings will never change.
