Bai Wu leaped into Xu Lan's arms, the way a homesick swallow made a dash for its nest. He buried his face in Xu Lan's chest and murmured, "Papa, I miss you."
"Haha, how're your studies coming along? Did you obey the teacher's instructions?" As he swayed along with Bai Wu in the midst of their embrace, Xu Lan patted Bai Wu's back and asked.
"The teacher complimented me and said that I'm intelligent! My classmates play basketball after class too. This time around, I held back!" Bai Wu smiled happily with his front teeth showing.
"Mmm, good boy. Keep this up. You must be friendly and tolerant to your classmates, got it?" Xu Lan started reading parenting books lately. He was determined to be a good father.
"Uh huh! Got it!" Bai Wu shouted his reply with conviction.
"Haha, come. Let me have your bag. What do you want for dinner? Noodles with eggs and tomatoes or stir-fry rice noodles with vegetables?" Xu Lan asked as he reached for Bai Wu's bag.
"Papa, can we not have noodles, please? I'm too full for it. Here, touch this if you don't believe me!" Bai Wu pouted as he guided Xu Lan's hand to his stomach."Look, I'm so full."
"When did you eat? You had a long day and I wanted to replenish your nutrients. I guess I'll have to finish the cake up by myself, " Xu Lan said with frustration.
Bai Wu's eyes lit up after hearing about the cake. He started licking his lips.
"I want! I want cake! Papa, can we have cakes for dinner tonight, please?" Bai Wu pleaded with Xu Lan.
"You just said you're full. You shouldn't overeat, it'll make you feel sick, " said Xu Lan, who was trying very hard to hold back his laugh.
"I want! I'm hungry! Papa, touch again! I'm really hungry!" Bai Wu pulled his shirt up and exposed his thin waist in the air.
Xu Lan stifled a laugh and scratched his head. However, from Bai Wu's point of view, Xu Lan was considering if they should have cakes tonight.
Xu Lan was holding his laughter back so hard that it was starting to hurt. He could not even speak without bursting into waves of laughter.
From there onward, Xu Lan found Bai Wu's second weakness — dessert. The first time Bai Wu had dessert was when Shen Xiang gave him a chunk of bitter chocolate. Xu Lan could not understand why Bai Wu fell in love with something so bitter.
"Eh? Bai Wu, you're still here? Ah! Mister Xu, are you here to pick Bai Wu up?" Bai Wu's teacher greeted politely.
"Uh huh. Thanks for the hard work." Xu Lan nodded as he reached for Bai Wu's wandering hands.
"What a great coincidence, I wanted to talk to you about something. Before I could call you, you showed up here, " said the teacher.
Xu Lan passed the bag over to Bai Wu, instructing for him to stay at the same spot. Xu Lan walked toward the teacher with a big frown, wondering what kind of problem did the little guy cause this time.
"Mister Xu, here's the thing. You told me that Bai Wu never had any formal education prior to this, right?"
The teacher asked in confusion. She seemed to be in shock after Xu Lan answered in affirmative.
"Through my lesson today, I can tell that Bai Wu is extremely intelligent with strong learning abilities. I was planning to start with basic pinyin, but he memorized everything after seeing the PowerPoint slides. I had to change my curriculum on the spot and teach him the elementary school curriculum instead."
Bai Wu made great progress, not only that it rattled the teacher, but it also took Xu Lan by surprise.
