Chapter 276 – Parent-Teacher Conference And Fairy Tale Book

“Yang Xi’s father, Yang Xi’s father, please wait a moment.” Early this morning, Yang Yi took Xixi to the kindergarten. Just as he turned around to leave, Teacher Mu chased after him.

When he saw Teacher Mu chasing after him, Yang Yi was startled in his heart and thought that something had happened to his daughter.

“Yang Xi’s father, it’s like this. We are going to hold a parent-teacher conference this Saturday afternoon. Since I saw you, I thought I’d inform you,” Teacher Mu said with a smile.

“Parent-teacher conference? Is it because Xixi did something wrong?” Yang Yi, who had no idea what a parent-teacher conference was, asked nervously.

Teacher Mu was taken a back for a moment and said with a wry smile, “No, no, Yang Xi’s father, you misunderstood. Your daughter has been doing very well! This parent-teacher conference is mainly to gather parents together and report on the children’s situation since the beginning of this semester, as well as to talk about the evening party that the kindergarten will hold on New Year’s Day.”

Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, “Okay, I’ll come over with Xixi on Saturday afternoon.”

“No, no, Xixi doesn’t need to come. It’s a rare weekend, let her play at home!” Teacher Mu said with a smile, “The parent-teacher conference is mainly held for the parents.”

Yang Yi looked at Teacher Mu with some surprise. Don’t bring Xixi? Then who will be taking care of the little girl at home? Although Mo Fei was coming back from Shanghai today and Yang Yi was going to pick her up, according to the situation in the past few weeks, Mo Fei would probably continue to work overtime to shoot MVs on weekends.

“Okay, I understand. Thank you, Teacher Mu,” Yang Yi nodded at the other party and didn’t say much. He would go back and figure out a way.

……

In a closed classroom next to the headquarters of the film club, Du Yuanlei was sitting in a chair with a male student from the photography department, who would be the cameraman for her film. They were watching Guo Ziyi and Qin Wen acting together.

Yes, the female lead of this film was Qin Wen, a star freshman at the Film Academy this year! Also, it was unknown how Du Yuanlei has such great ability to invite her.

“Xu Shishi, you should go. We’re not suitable for each other. Don’t waste your time on me,” Guo Ziyi had a resolute face, but his clenched fists and trembling lips revealed the pain in his heart.

The thin Qin Wen took a step forward and hugged Guo Ziyi’s arm. As someone who had already acted in numerous works, her acting skills were very good. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said with deep sadness, “No, Ah Guang, I don’t want to leave. I know you’re sick, but don’t give up. Don’t give up on yourself, okay?”

If it were someone else, they would probably be overshadowed by Qin Wen’s explosive acting skills. But it was Guo Ziyi who came up, this amazingly talented chubby guy. Looking at Qin Wen crying, he silently thought of some painful things in his heart.

Like the night he sang and confessed, only to be pulled aside and rejected by Du Yuanlei…

“No, I don’t love you anymore because you’re annoying, you know? I can’t stand you. I eat so little, but I never lose weight. And you keep forcing me to lose weight every day. I… I don’t want a girlfriend like you!” Guo Ziyi turned his head fiercely and turned his back to Qin Wen, facing Du Yuanlei and the others.

The cameraman beside them was amused by Guo Ziyi’s line and burst into laughter.

Du Yuanlei furrowed her brow, turned her head, and gave him a cold glance. He quickly covered his mouth and shrank his head in fear.

Du Yuanlei continued to look at Guo Ziy, and was shocked when his eyes opened and two streams of tears rolled down. Of course, Guo Ziyi wasn’t looking at her. He was staring into empty space, as if Du Yuanlei and the cameraman didn’t exist, with a strong sense of sadness in his eyes.

“No, it’s not like that, Ah Guang. I know your heart hurts, and I know you love me!” Qin Wen cried sadly behind Guo Ziyi. “Let me face it with you, okay? No matter what, I believe there’s still hope!”

“Why are you so annoying?” Guo Ziyi shook off Qin Wen’s hand and shouted at her, “I said, don’t bother me anymore! Go away!”

After saying that, Guo Ziyi turned and walked away. But Qin Wen followed a few steps and accidentally tripped and fell to the ground. “Ouch!”

Guo Zi, with an indifferent expression on his face, heard the sound and couldn’t bear it. He angrily slapped his head, turned around, and ran back. “Shishi, Shishi, what’s wrong with you?”

“Ah Guang, I know you love me. Please don’t leave, okay?” Qin Wen didn’t mind and hugged Guo Ziyi’s neck tightly, crying with tears and snot.

This was the first time Guo Ziyi had such close contact with a girl. His body stiffened, but he quickly reacted. He released Qin Wen’s hand, and with a mix of anger and annoyance, he said, “Why are you so silly? Where did you hurt yourself? Let me see…”

“Alright!” Du Yuanlei clapped her hands, stood up, and said, “Let’s call it a wrap for now!”

Guo Ziyi quickly stood up and gentlemanly pulled Qin Wen up with him. He wiped away his tears and asked nervously, “Senior Sister Du, what do you think?”

Du Yuanlei looked at Guo Ziyi’s face and slowly said, “To be honest, I originally didn’t have much hope for you, but I didn’t expect that you would give me such a big surprised today!”

“You performed very well! Indeed, as you said yesterday, I misunderstood you. I apologize for what I said yesterday. I went too far. I’m sorry!” Although Du Yuanlei maintained a serious face, a habit of being a director, her tone was very sincere.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m a broad-minded person, I don’t mind.” Guo Ziyi said happily.

“Well, to be honest, you acted very well, so I’ve decided to give you this role. Wang Chao, give him a copy of the script,” Du Yuanlei said.

“Thank you, Senior Sister Du!” Guo Ziyi was very excited. As he received the script handed to him by the boy who was still smiling at him, his hands were still slightly trembling, but he didn’t forget his manners. “Thank you, Brother Chao!”

“Guo Ziyi, you acted well and it was interesting acting with you!” Qin Wen, who had wiped away her tears, walked up and patted Guo Ziyi’s shoulder, shaking her fist at him. “Come on! I believe your dreams will come true!”

While Guo Ziyi was stunned, she winked and smiled. “What’s wrong? I know you and I almost became classmates! I’ve seen the video of your interview at that time!”

Guo Ziyi quickly nodded and said with a smile, “Thank you for your encouragement, Sister Qin Wen. Please guide me more in the future. You have rich experience in acting.”

“Haha, since you called me Sister Qin Wen, then Sister Qin Wen will definitely cover you.” Qin Wen patted Guo Ziyi’s shoulder again.

……

In the evening, after the kindergarten dismissed, Teacher Mu, also known as Mu Yuyan, returned home and started preparing dinner.

“Wife, I’ve picked up our son back!” Her husband also picked up their son who was in elementary school.

However, after starting elementary school, their son was no longer clingy. As soon as he came home, he dropped his school bag and went straight for the television.

“Wife, guess what I bought?” The kitchen door was pushed open, and her husband poked his head in and said with a playful smile.

Although they were an old married couple, because they had a child relatively late and Mu Yuyan had always had a positive attitude, their relationship was still as strong as young people.

“How could I have time to guess! Just tell me what it is!” Mu Yuyan scolded playfully. “By the way, help me pick some dishes.”

“No problem!” Her husband walked in, agreeing while shaking the bag in his hand, and hinted, “Look, I bought two fairy tale books, ‘Xixi’s Bedtime Stories.'”

“Two? Exactly the same? Why buy two? Isn’t it enough to buy one for our son to read?” Mu Yuyan asked, puzzled.

“Heh, you don’t know how popular this book is now. I even had my colleague help me buy it online.” Her husband took out the book like a treasure and said proudly, “I heard that this book is suitable for all ages, and I’ve read it at work and It is indeed really good. So, I bought one for our son and one for you. Don’t you often tell stories to the children in the kindergarten? The stories here are enough to last you for many days!”

“Is it really that good?” Mu Yuyan was skeptical. “I’ll take a look later. For now, put the books down and help me pick the dishes!”

“Yes, ma’am!”
