"Are you all full?"

As dinner came to an end, Huang Jun glanced around at Qingqing, Weiwei, and Yang Yuxi, asking with concern.

Qingqing and Weiwei slouched in their respective little chairs, faces scrunched, saying, "Daddy, I want to eat more, but my tummy won’t agree!"

Saying this, they both helplessly patted their own round little bellies.

Oh!

Why did we get full so fast?

So disappointing!

Weiwei rested her hands on the table, cupping her little face, her eyes darting around as an idea sparkled. "Daddy, how about I go to the bathroom, then come back and eat more, okay?"

"Oh~"

Huang Jun pretended to have a look of disdain, yet his eyes were filled with indulgence and amusement as he glanced at Weiwei.

"Daddy, you’re not allowed to dislike me~" Weiwei pouted, crossing her arms with a "baby not happy" adorable expression.

Uh...

Girls getting upset seems to be a nationwide trait, regardless of age?

He laughed and reached out to ruffle her little head, gently saying, "How could Daddy dislike you? I’m just worried you’ll eat too much and your little tummy won’t feel good. Only if your little tummy is well can you eat more and tastier things in the future. Daddy can cook more delicious dishes, you don’t want to miss them, do you?"

Yeah!

Only a healthy tummy can eat whatever it wants!

With this thought, Weiwei felt relieved, her mood quickly shifting from cloudy to sunny, answering without hesitation, "I want to eat!"

Kids!

Emotions come and go quickly.

Yang Yuxi rubbed her own belly, smiling, "I’m also full, this is the fourth time I’ve stuffed myself so much at night, so delicious!"

Qingqing blinked her pretty eyes, curiously asking, "Miss Yang, why is it the fourth time? When were the first three times..."

Yang Yuxi replied with a smile, "The first three times, one was at your house, and the other two were when we went to the lake scenic area and Dongshan Beach."

Though now during work time, the park prepares more meals at noon for teachers and leaders to take home for dinner.

But the portions are still limited, wanting to eat thoroughly is not possible, it’s just to satisfy cravings.

"Ah..."

Weiwei showed an incredulous little expression, then pouted, feeling a bit sorry, "Miss Yang, you’re so pitiful, not eating enough at home..."

Faced with this sudden innocent "sympathy" from Weiwei, Yang Yuxi was speechless: "(｡ŏ_ŏ)"

Huang Jun: "(・ω・｀ll)"

He looked at Weiwei helplessly yet fondly, explaining, "Miss Yang doesn’t eat full at home actually to maintain healthy eating habits and also keep her figure."

Yang Yuxi’s beautiful eyes glanced at Huang Jun, a trace of appreciation flashing through them.

This man, not only is he excellent in cooking, but he can also use the right words to help others out of awkward situations, making them feel warm and comfortable.

Really impressive!

Huang Jun sensed her gaze out of the corner of his eye, then looked at Yang Yuxi with a smile.

Their eyes accidentally met, and there seemed to be a subtle electric current passing through the air.

Yang Yuxi quickly shifted her gaze away.

Hmm~

No way!

Why did she dodge?

She slightly shook her head, trying to shake off the sudden feeling of shyness.

Weiwei blinked her curious big eyes, asking, "Miss Yang, is that so?"

Yang Yuxi nodded and replied with a smile, "Yes, Weiwei, the teacher usually tries not to eat too full, it’s better for health. A moderate diet can not only maintain energy and health but also help keep the figure and avoid unnecessary weight gain."

Weiwei, hands cradling her little cheeks, tilted her little head and blinked her curious big eyes to ask, "Then why did you eat more tonight? Teacher, you’re not maintaining health, nor keeping your figure, and not worrying about gaining weight?"

Weiwei~

If you’re possessed by ten thousand whys, just blink your eyes...

Yang Yuxi was amused by Weiwei’s straightforwardness, feeling both helpless and amused.

She ruffled Weiwei’s hair, her tone full of affection, "Tonight is an exception because the dishes your dad made are just too delicious to resist. Besides, occasional indulgence is also a joy of life, isn’t it? And I’ll do some exercise tonight to compensate for today’s little indulgence, so there’s no need to worry about gaining weight."

"Oh~"

Weiwei nodded as if she understood, her little face full of serious thought about Yang Yuxi’s words, then expressed her own little thought, "My daddy’s dishes are really delicious, I always can’t help but want to eat more~"

...

After a moment of casual chat, the laughter and chatting at the dinner table gradually subsided, the joyful time of dinner quietly coming to an end in a warm atmosphere.

Huang Jun stood up and began clearing the bowls and chopsticks, preparing to tidy up the table after the meal.

Yang Yuxi hurriedly stood up to help.

Seeing this, Huang Jun quickly politely refused, "Miss Yang, you really don’t need to help, I can handle these tasks myself."

Yang Yuxi replied with a smile, "I know, but isn’t it faster if two people work together? Besides, I can’t cook, but I can handle dishwashing and tidying up, I also enjoy this feeling of working together."

"Alright then!"

Huang Jun couldn’t refuse, so he let her go ahead.

The two of them carefully gathered the used bowls and chopsticks, placing them in the kitchen sink.

Yang Yuxi eagerly took over washing the dishes, her hands moving deftly, creating a unique beauty amidst the splashes of water.

Huang Jun had no choice but to stand by, using a clean towel to dry the dishes she washed, then neatly putting them back in the cupboard, sorted by size and type.

It must be said, their teamwork in washing and drying dishes was smooth, exuding a harmony reminiscent of a well-coordinated couple...

Qingqing curiously poked her head in, watching the busy pair, and asked, "Daddy, Miss Yang, can I help too?"

Huang Jun turned his head, looking at Qingqing gently: "Of course, you can, Qingqing. You can help by sorting the chopsticks."

"Okay~"

Qingqing nodded obediently, joining in the "team effort."

Weiwei, not wanting to be left behind, stepped into the kitchen, saying, "Daddy, I want to help too."

Huang Jun and Yang Yuxi exchanged a smile, and Huang Jun said, "Alright, Weiwei, you can help by putting the cups back on the shelf."

Before long.

The kitchen returned to its clean state, with all the dishes back in place.

Everyone gradually left the kitchen and headed to the living room, where Huang Jun invited Yang Yuxi, "Miss Yang, would you like some fruit as a post-meal treat?"

Yang Yuxi patted her stomach and, smiling, politely declined: "Qingqing’s dad, I’m not being polite, I simply can’t manage any fruit right now."

Seeing this, Huang Jun didn’t insist, nodding understandingly: "Alright, maybe later then."

He turned to the two little ones: "Qingqing, Weiwei, would you like some fruit? Or would you prefer to rest a bit first?"

The two little ones exchanged glances, and Qingqing spoke up: "I want to play for a while first, then eat fruit later."

Weiwei agreed, saying: "Me too, let’s eat later."

Huang Jun smiled and agreed: "Okay, let’s watch some TV for now. Miss Yang, what would you like to watch?"

Yang Yuxi thought for a moment and replied: "I’m okay with anything, news or something light."

Huang Jun nodded: "Then let’s catch up on the news, see what’s new today."

Saying this, he picked up the remote and turned on the TV.

Just at this moment...

"Beep beep~"

The notification sound of Yang Yuxi’s phone went off.

She took it out to see.

It was a message from her dad.

The message was simple yet full of concern: Xiaoxi, when are you coming home?

Yang Yuxi: "..."

Oh my gosh~

I actually forgot about the parents completely...

Now it dawned on her that her mom and dad were still waiting for her at her place!

Her fingers flew over the screen as she quickly replied: Dad, I’ll be back in a bit.

Huang Jun noticed the change in Yang Yuxi’s expression, concernedly asking: "Miss Yang, is something wrong?"

Yang Yuxi stood up, looking apologetic: "It’s just that my parents are over, waiting for me in my apartment. I need to go spend some time with them."

Weiwei said reluctantly: "Miss Yang, you’re leaving already? We haven’t played enough yet."

Qingqing also held Yang Yuxi’s hand: "Miss Yang, please come again. We’ll miss you."

Yang Yuxi felt warm inside, she knelt down to give the two little ones a hug: "Alright, I’ll come again next time, and we’ll play together."

Huang Jun brought out a box of scallion oil stewed chicken that he had prepared in advance, handing it to Yang Yuxi, he said: "Miss Yang, take this with you, warm it up for tomorrow. It may not taste as good as when it’s freshly made, but it shouldn’t be bad, and you can make some rice with it, saving you from making other dishes."

If he gave her anything else, Yang Yuxi would certainly politely refuse.

Not take it.

But his homemade scallion oil stewed chicken was really hard to resist!

"Qingqing’s dad, you’re too kind, how could I accept this?"

Though she was verbally polite, her body honestly accepted the care-filled box of scallion oil stewed chicken.

With this box of scallion oil stewed chicken, her mom no longer needed to worry about her going hungry tomorrow...

She wouldn’t have to rack her brain to find a meal either!

Then again!

Could it be that Huang Jun sensed something?

With his perceptive nature, he probably did notice her little thoughts, which was why he specially gave her a box of scallion oil stewed chicken, so she could indulge tomorrow!

Seeing Huang Jun with Qingqing and Weiwei, about to walk her out, Yang Yuxi thought about how tiring it would be to go up and down stairs, so she smiled politely and said: "Qingqing’s dad, no need to see me off, you all should go back, it’s a bit chilly outside."

Huang Jun thus stood at the door waving her off while gently reminding his little ones: "Qingqing, Weiwei, say goodbye to Miss Yang."

Qingqing and Weiwei obediently waved their hands, saying in unison: "Goodbye Miss Yang!"

"Qingqing, Weiwei, see you at school on Monday~

"Miss Yang, see you on Monday~"

Qingqing and Weiwei continued waving in response.

But after Yang Yuxi’s figure completely disappeared around the stair corner, Weiwei couldn’t help but whisper: "Daddy, why did you give all the scallion oil stewed chicken to Miss Yang!"

Goodness, you’re such a devoted teacher!

The teacher just left, yet here you are still reluctant to part with that scallion oil stewed chicken...
