Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 124 - 120: I’ll Jump Down Right Now

Shortly after 4 PM, sunlight pierced through the light clouds, dappling the edge of the lush green woods as if draping the whole picnic spot in a golden cloak. A gentle breeze blew, and the leaves swayed, emitting a melodious and gentle rustling sound, echoing with the shimmering lake waters in the distance.

In this pleasant environment, Qingqing and Weiwei enjoyed a serene nap inside the camper van; upon waking, they looked refreshed and not the least bit grumpy.

Huang Jun carefully washed the small towels for them, gently wiped their faces, and then helped them tidy up their slightly disheveled hair, re-tying it, making the two little ones even more adorable and charming.

"Daddy, let’s go down!" Weiwei exclaimed excitedly, lifting her skirt with eagerness in her eyes, urging Huang Jun.

"Hold on a second, let Dad finish tidying up!"

Huang Jun gently soothed Weiwei’s impatience, though his hands continued moving nonstop.

He carefully organized the small towels and comb, stored them back in the backpack, then folded the small blanket, and neatly returned it to its place.

Seeing a few stray hairs in the car, he meticulously cleaned them up into the trash can to ensure the camper’s interior returned to its best tidy state.

After all, since the car is borrowed, it has to be well taken care of, maintaining its original cleanliness. This reflects respect and gratitude to the car’s owner.

If Yang Yuxi saw this, she would surely exclaim: "Huang Jun, you really are a model man for home travel!"

Later.

Huang Jun opened the car door, lifted Qingqing and Weiwei down together.

The two little ones, upon landing, didn’t run around wildly like untamed horses. Instead, they obediently followed behind him, returning to the tent camp together.

Actually.

While Huang Jun took Qingqing and Weiwei for a nap in the camper van...

The teachers also engaged in their own vibrant activities.

Yang Yuxi, Liu Suyu, and others immersed themselves in the poetry-like natural scenery, appreciating the surrounding views while busy capturing these rare beautiful moments with their cameras.

Each photo documented their laughter and the harmonious beauty of nature.

Liang Yinqiu, Wei Siyi, and other teachers sat on the soft grass, facing the lush woods and shimmering lake water, absorbed in painting creation.

As their brushes freely swept across the canvas...

The beauty of this nature was thus captured on canvas!

Of course.

The level of painting was still far off from that of a master!

Meanwhile, Xie Jianing and Wang Wenxia, the nursery teachers, didn’t idle; they each transformed into industrious little bees, gathering dry branches everywhere, preparing to build a campfire.

After some effort...

They built a small and exquisite campfire pile at the front of the camp, waiting for nightfall.

"Qingqing’s dad, come look at the campfire pile we’ve built!"

Spotting Huang Jun and his family coming over, Xie Jianing bounced ahead, cheerfully describing the night’s campfire feast: "Later at night, we will light the campfire, barbecue surrounded together, watching the sky full of stars; just thinking about it feels wonderful..."

"Yes, it does look nice..."

Huang Jun’s gaze swept over the campfire pile they built, a smile of appreciation spreading across his face, nodding in approval.

Weiwei and Qingqing proved to be perfect appreciators!

Their praise came generously: "Wow... Miss Xie, you’re amazing~ You managed to bring back so many branches..."

Xie Jianing was a bit embarrassed by the compliment, a blush rising on her face.

She quickly waved her hand to explain: "Oh, this isn’t just Miss Xie’s doing... It’s the result of everyone’s efforts, not just mine..."

Then she smiled at Huang Jun, turning the topic: "Qingqing’s dad, when will you start grilling the barbecue?"

Goodness!

It’s been only about two hours since lunch ended, and you’re feeling hungry again?

Huang Jun recalled lunchtime, noticing that Xie Jianing had eaten the most. Perhaps her energy was drained from collecting dry wood, making her hungry quickly? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Miss Xie, are you hungry so soon?" Weiwei tilted her head up, blinked her bright eyes curiously, asking.

Xie Jianing: "..."

Actually, she wasn’t genuinely hungry...

Just feeling a bit nostalgic!

That’s right!

She’s craving Huang Jun’s barbecue!

Of course.

She feels too embarrassed to say it outright, afraid of being teased by the two little clever ones, Qingqing and Weiwei.

If that happens, where’s the dignity of a teacher?

Therefore, as a teacher, she must maintain her image in front of the children, have a bit of pride, right?

"Miss Xie... perhaps it’s just digesting quickly."

Xie Jianing smiled awkwardly, gently patting her stomach, trying to cover her true thoughts with words, "Every time there’s a lot of activity, the teacher gets really hungry."

"Oh... I got it, Miss Xie is tired from picking up sticks!"

Upon hearing this, Weiwei suddenly understood, nodded, then lifted her little head to look at Huang Jun, pulling his hand, and with a sweet smile said, "Daddy, hurry up and make some barbecue for Miss Xie first to fill her tummy, so she doesn’t get too hungry and uncomfortable!"

Weiwei’s enthusiasm wasn’t really out of kindness or genuine concern for Miss Xie’s hunger.

Actually...

She was eager because she herself was craving!

Can’t wait to taste the barbecue made by her dad!

Like father, like daughter!

Weiwei’s little thoughts were naturally known to Huang Jun, but he didn’t expose her, instead, he indulged her with a doting smile, "Okay, Daddy knows, Daddy will get it ready right away!"

Xie Jianing was deeply moved by Weiwei’s care and Huang Jun’s thoughtful gesture!

A wave of warmth surged in her heart, mingling with gratitude and comfort, making her throw a grateful look towards Weiwei, the little helper.

Looking at Weiwei’s innocent smile, Xie Jianing was even more determined to care for her deeply. She silently vowed in her heart from now on, she must treat her better, repaying this rare innocence and kindness with endless love.

Before Huang Jun left, he smiled and said to Xie Jianing, "Miss Xie, could I trouble you to look after Qingqing and Weiwei for a moment?"

Before Huang Jun left, he smiled and said to Xie Jianing, "Miss Xie, could I trouble you to look after Qingqing and Weiwei for a moment?"

Xie Jianing responded without hesitation, "Qingqing’s dad, go ahead and don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of them!"

"Great, thank you!"

He turned towards the grill and started getting busy.

...

Meanwhile, by the lakeside not far from Huang Jun’s tent, a man and woman were fiercely arguing on the shore, their voices sharp and piercing, shattering the prior tranquility by the lake.

Bo Shujing’s face was full of determination, her voice revealing an irrevocable decisiveness, "Pengfei, I’ve made it very clear, let’s break up. Can’t you accept this reality? Can’t we part peacefully?"

Lv Pengfei’s face turned pale, his eyes filled with confusion and agony.

He couldn’t believe that the woman he once deeply loved could be so cold when suggesting a breakup.

He stared tightly at Bo Shujing, trying to find a hint of regret and reluctance in her eyes.

But.

He could only see indifference and resolve.

He trembled, "Jingjing, tell me why? I love you so much, why would you do this to me? What have I done wrong, I can change, I can change everything for you!"

Bo Shujing took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions.

She looked at Lv Pengfei, a complicated emotion flashing in her eyes.

But she knew she couldn’t continue entangling.

She said firmly, "Pengfei, you’re great, but I don’t love you anymore. The feelings between us are over, continuing this will only bring more pain to both of us. Please let go, give each other a chance to start over."

Lv Pengfei’s heart felt as if a heavy hammer struck it, despairingly looking at Bo Shujing, as if witnessing the beauty between them slowly break apart...

Yet he couldn’t accept this fact, nor could he accept the person he loves deeply leaving him.

He pointed at the lake, loudly threatening, "Jingjing, if you dare break up with me, I’ll immediately jump into the lake!"
