Chapter 1618: Chapter 1607: Wildly Popular
Staring at the tightly closed school gate and the unanswered phone, Ning Fan suddenly felt like an isolated island.
Annoyed by his earlier action, the sisters who had gathered together both did not answer his call.
After all, there were mbers of the Shadow Squad following them, so Ning Fan wasn’t too worried about their safety.
“Forget it, I’ll just pick up the little one from school today.”
Just like that, Ning Fan waited from morning until school let out in the afternoon.
Watching the school bus whiz by, Ning Fan muttered to himself that this was bad.
The managent at Dawn Elentary is very strict. Besides school hours, all other tis are managed under a closed policy, including midday and afternoon.
After school, children were uniformly picked up and sent ho by the school bus.
“Wasn’t that a waste of ti waiting?”
Ning Fan couldn’t help but feel amused and annoyed as he originally imagined Nannan’s cheerful look upon seeing him.
Ning Fan ran a few steps, then shook his head and gave up; chasing down the school bus would be too abnormal in public view.
Among the school buses flowing out, one suddenly slowed down and pulled over to the roadside.
“Could this be waiting for ?”
Seeing the teacher who got out of the bus, Ning Fan hurried over.
“Mr. Ning, it really is you.”
Chen Min chuckled softly, “I thought I had seen wrong.”
Ning Fan smiled awkwardly, “Sorry for causing you trouble.”
“No worries. I just didn’t expect you to be waiting here.”
Chen Min said in surprise, “Don’t tell you’ve been waiting here all day.”
“Just a bit worried.”
“So you’re saying, you’re not trusting , right?”
“I…”
Facing Chen Min’s suddenly stern face, Ning Fan faltered, unable to speak.
“Alright, I was just joking with you. You’re already quite good for being such a responsible person. I really envy Nannan for having such a good brother.”
Seeing her smile as bright as spring’s arrival, Ning Fan couldn’t help but be a bit smitten.
It was then that he realized Chen Min, as Xu Xiaoqing ntioned, was indeed a stunning beauty, only her own charm was overshadowed by this outdated outfit.
At this mont, the car horn startled Ning Fan awake.
Chen Min said, “The driver is starting to urge us. Mr. Ning, are you going to take the child directly or should we give you a ride?”
“Thanks for the offer, I’ll take her directly.”
“Then I’ll go get Nannan off the bus.”
Only then did Ning Fan notice Nannan was leaning against the window, giggling at him.
Beside her was a chubby kid, diligently holding a cake, seemingly serving her.
“Not bad. They’ve befriended each other so quickly.”
Through the car window, it was clear to see that as Nannan stood up to leave, those little friends were waving goodbye.
“Mr. Ning, please sign here.”
“Okay.”
Signing here indicates that the school safely delivered the child to the parents. Any subsequent actions are not related to the school.
“Mr. Ning, see you tomorrow then.”
“See you tomorrow.”
Watching the car disappear into the dust, Ning Fan only then noticed the box of cake in Nannan’s hands.
By the look of it, it was exactly the sa as the one the chubby kid had.
Ning Fan asked knowingly, “Where did you get this cake from, Nannan?”
“I said no, but Zhu Xiaopang insisted on giving it to .”
Seeing Nannan’s helpless expression, Ning Fan laughed, “Did you thank the classmate?”
“I did thank Zhu Xiaopang.”
Turning into the “strict father,” Ning Fan lectured, “Nannan, that’s not right, you shouldn’t give classmates nicknas. That’s not nice behavior. You shouldn’t do this next ti.”
“But his na is literally Zhu Xiaopang.”
“Really?”
After saying this, Ning Fan asked again, “Is his na Zhu Xiaopang?”
“Brother, how did you know? That’s so amazing.”
Seeing the little girl’s expression of admiration, Ning Fan secretly smiled. Since the na is Xiaopang, having the surna Zhu only makes sense.
Ning Fan laughed, “How’s school today, what did you learn?”
Nannan, like showing off a treasure, animatedly said, “Brother, school is so much fun. There’s delicious food and fun gas.”
“Isn’t that what kindergarten is like?”
Ning Fan quickly reacted, considering that the sumr break just ended, the first day of school likely provided students with a transition period.
“Nannan, it won’t be as fun in the future, you’ll have to study hard then.”
“I know. Teacher Chen said to give this to you.”
With that, Nannan started to open her backpack.
Seeing the bag full of snacks, Ning Fan’s face couldn’t help but darken, “Where did all these co from?”
“The classmates insisted on giving them to .”
With this, Nannan again displayed a helpless expression.
“A costly oversight indeed! Little kids use snacks to foster friendships, how could I have forgotten that.”
Now with Nannan taking so many snacks, Ning Fan felt a bit embarrassed.
“I’ll make up for it tomorrow then.”
Ning Fan then said, “What did Teacher Chen ask you to bring?”
“Just this.”
With that, Nannan handed over a folded paper.
Opening it up, it turned out Chen Min was worried about Nannan’s learning progress, hoping Ning Fan could privately tutor her, and listed several tutorial books.
“No wonder Chen Min stood by the rear window, she wanted to remind of this.”
Thinking back to the previous scene, Ning Fan felt embarrassed, he thought she was saying goodbye to him.
“I was wondering why it felt so strange.”
When the siblings returned ho, Xu Ruolan, who normally returned late, made an exception today and personally cooked a sumptuous dinner.
During the al, no one ntioned the morning incident, everything was peaceful.
“Xiaoqing, follow the requirents on this note and buy those books.”
Taking the paper strip Ning Fan handed over, Xu Xiaoqing asked suspiciously, “Did Chen Min give this to you?”
“Yes, no wait…”
Realizing sothing was off, Ning Fan quickly changed course, “It was Teacher Chen who gave it to Nannan, then Nannan handed it to . Do you understand?”
“That’s exactly what I ant. Why are you so anxious?”
Upon hearing this, Ning Fan rolled his eyes and then said, “From now on, Nannan’s howork will be your responsibility.”
Xu Xiaoqing laughed smugly, “Don’t worry. I’m a top student, teaching a primary schooler is a piece of cake.”
Not long after, Xu Xiaoqing will deeply regret these words.
“Honey, let’s go to the supermarket tonight.”
“Why?”
“Just look inside the backpack, you’ll understand.”
Ning Fan recounted the incident.
Xu Ruolan laughed awkwardly, “We indeed overlooked this, let’s go buy return gifts now.”
Xu Xiaoqing said, “I’ll go with you both.”
“You’re going to the bookstore and it’s not on the way.”
“I…”
Xu Xiaoqing’s eyes turned, quickly saying, “Don’t you also need to buy clothes for Nannan? Of course, I should go along.”
The next day Ning Fan, who sent Nannan to school alone, couldn’t enter the campus this ti and was stopped at the gate.
