Godly Stay-Home Dad

…”

Yue Xiaonao knew what a school was like.
But when she saw students filing into the campus one after another, she still found it very novel.

“They’re, of course, at our age,” Mengmeng said.
“The older ones are all in senior high or college.”

“What grade are we in now?” Yue Xiaonao asked curiously.

“We’re in Class Eight, Grade One.
It’s the second semester,” Mengmeng said kindly.
“You haven’t attended the first semester, so there is a lot of knowledge you haven’t learned yet.
I’m not sure if you can catch up with the others.
If you find the subjects too hard, I can try to teach you.”

“Hey, no need.
Studying is simple.” Yue Xiaonao casually waved Mengmeng’s offer aside.

She was extremely confident.

“Daddy, we’re going to school now.
Don’t forget to come and pick us up on time in the afternoon.” Mengmeng ran to the driver’s seat, leaned in, and kissed Zhang Han on the cheek.

“Ahhh!”

Yue Xiaonao immediately covered her eyes with both hands and said, “Mengmeng, how old are you? How can you still kiss your dad? It’s too bashful!”

“So what?” Mengmeng snorted and said, “I can kiss my dad whenever I want.”

“Then do as you please.” Yue Xiaonao dropped her hands, looked around, then ran to the campus with Mengmeng’s hand in hers.

Zhang Han shook his head with a smile, started the car, and slowly drove away.

With the improvement of Mengmeng’s strength, the treasures she carried, and Yue Wuwei’s protection, Zhang Han no longer felt it necessary to station his people in the school every day to watch over the little girl.

Mengmeng had grown up after all.

When they entered the classroom, Bai Yilin was already there, waiting.

“Zhang Yumeng, you’re here.”

Seeing them come in, Bai Yilin said with a smile, “Is this the new member of our class, Yue Xiaonao?”

“Yes,” Mengmeng replied.

“Okay.”

Bai Yilin clapped his hands and said, “Everyone, quiet.
Let me introduce a new classmate to you.
Well, I’d better let her introduce herself.
Come on.”

Under the teacher’s instruction, Yue Xiaonao walked up to the podium and looked around.
She had no stage fright at all.

In a loud and clear voice, she said, “My name is Yue Xiaonao.
I’m Mengmeng’s friend.
I heard that school is fun, so I came.
From now on, I’ll take good care of you.”

Bai Yilin was bemused.

He looked a little dumbstruck and embarrassed.

“What’s going on?

“This girl doesn’t play by the rules.”

“Well… Let’s applaud our new classmate, Yue Xiaonao.”

As Bai Yilin spoke, he murmured with emotion inwardly, “It seems that this is a rather unruly girl.”

One’s words could reveal a lot about one’s personality.

Bai Yilin was kind of mortified when he heard that the girl promised she got her classmates’ back on her very first day in school.
None of the students he met in his school life had such an imposing manner.

Mengmeng, however, found it understandable.

“After all, Xiaonao grew up in the King’s Domain.
She has lived like a princess for many years.
Thus, her habits have long become well-seated.”

“Swish!”

As for Bei Jinnan and the other students, they happened to dislike ordinary self-introductions.
Upon hearing Yue Xiaonao’s words, their interest was piqued, and they all applauded with great enthusiasm.

“Hee-hee.”

Laughing happily, Yue Xiaoxi stepped off the podium and looked at the back of the room several times.

“Eh? Where will I sit?”

“Here.” Bai Yilin lightly coughed and pointed to a desk in the first row near the podium.

“Huh?”

Yue Xiaonao was instantly stunned.
“Uh? I don’t want to sit here.
I’ll sit next to Mengmeng so that we can look after each other.”

Bai Yilin didn’t know what to say.

“Do you think this is a battlefield? You said you wanted to sit with Mengmeng so you could look after each other? I bet you just want to chat with her in class.
How can I allow that?”

Mengmeng was a top student in the class.
As her teacher, Bai Yilin wouldn’t allow anything to hinder Mengmeng from her study.

This proposal made Bai Yilin even more concerned.

He said, “Yue Xiaonao, umm… in our class, students’ seats are allocated according to their grades.
Only the top 10 students have the right to choose a new seat.
You’ve just joined our class, so sit here first.
It’s good for you to concentrate on lectures since it’s close to the blackboard.
There’s an exam in half a month.
If you become top 10, you can switch seats then, okay?”

Negotiation worked very well on Yue Xiaonao.

“All right.”

Yue Xiaonao nodded and took the special seat in the first row near the podium.

In truth, like all the other teachers in the world, the teachers in the advanced class of the First Middle School favor students with good grades.
Yue Xiaonao, a transfer student, was able to join the advanced class directly.
That fact alone already explained a lot.
Moreover, in this school, the students were all teenagers.
Many teachers preferred to resolve disputes with students through negotiation.
They hoped to persuade and guide them by virtue.
Bai Yilin was of this kind.

Seeing that Yue Xiaonao obediently took the seat, everyone started with the morning self-study session.

At first, Bai Yilin thought that Yue Xiaonao, the new student would also be smart in class.
But he found that she just sat in her seat playing with her little toys during the first class.
When he gave her warning gazes, she was not scared at all.
Instead, she even boldly met his eyes several times.

Her eyes were clearly saying, “Why are you looking at me?”

In this regard, Bai Yilin thought to himself that the new girl might not be a top student.

When class was over, Yue Xiaonao instantly livened up.
She sat in the class and watched Bei Jinnan and the others chatting with Mengmeng.
Soon, she blended in.

“Class starts so soon?”

After a 10-minute break, the bell rang again.
But Yue Xiaonao still wanted to chat.

With the arrival of the teacher, silence fell in the classroom.
The only sound that could be heard was the teacher giving a lecture on the podium.

Yue Xiaonao looked ahead at the blackboard and tried to listen to the lecture for a few minutes.

But she found it simply boring.

“Mengmeng, what are you doing?”

Yue Xiaonao could perform the Designated Voice-transmitting Technique.
Her voice soon sounded in Mengmeng’s ears.

“Huh?”

Mengmeng was slightly stunned.
She hadn’t learned the Designated Voice-transmitting Technique yet.
Therefore, she wrote a note and flicked it at Yue Xiaonao.
The note turned into an almost imperceptible jet of light and landed on Yue Xiaonao’s palm.

“I’m studying.
We gotta pay attention to the lecture in class.”

“Mengmeng, attending classes is so boring.
Why don’t we go out and play?”

“No, we have to study.”

“Gee, I’m so bored.
Mengmeng, why don’t you chat with me for a while? You don’t know how to use the Designated Voice-transmitting Technique? I can teach you.”

“Listen carefully in class.
Hurry up and study.”

“I’m not interested in the lecture.
I can’t understand a word of what he’s saying.
Mengmeng…”

Just like that, Yue Xiaonao talked to Mengmeng with the Designated Voice-transmitting Technique every other minute.

“Mengmeng.”

“Mengmeng…”

Because of this, Mengmeng couldn’t focus anymore.
She took a deep breath and scribbled some words on a new note.

“Yue Xiaonao! I need to study.
If you disturb me again, I will be angry.”

“You’ll get angry because I spend time chatting with you? You’re too petty.”

Mengmeng wrote back, “I won’t play with you anymore.”

Yue Xiaonao was rendered speechless.

She couldn’t understand why Mengmeng was angry.
“Is it just because I talked to her?”

That question baffled her throughout the second half of the class.
After class, she did not go to talk to Mengmeng at the beginning.
But seeing that Mengmeng also ignored her, Yue Xiaonao could not help feeling a little anxious.

After thinking for a few minutes, she ran to Mengmeng’s side and sat down.

“Fine, I shouldn’t have disturbed you.
Don’t be angry, okay?”

When Yue Wuwei and Lisa “saw” this, they were both astonished.

“So there are times that our daughter has to admit defeat, haha.” Yue Wuwei laughed, then said, “Keep good men company and one shall be of the number.
Now that Xiaonao is friends with Mengmeng, I reckon she will become more docile.”

“Don’t you know why she is so disobedient?” Lisa said flatly.

“I know, I know.” Yue Wuwei quickly smiled apologetically and said, “I was just too busy with my work before.
Don’t worry.
From now on, I’ll be a house husband like Zhang Hanyang, satisfied?”

“It’s too late.”

“No, it’s not.”

“…”

After all, they were husband and wife.
Although they were not the sweet couple as Zhang Han and Zi Yan were, they still had a warm and romantic life.

Now that Yue Xiaonao had taken the initiative to apologize, Mengmeng couldn’t stay angry anymore.

She pouted slightly and whispered to Yue Xiaonao, “Well, I forgive you.
Xiaonao, this place is different from the King’s Domain.
We have to listen carefully in class.
We can’t talk, use mobile phones, or play games.
It’s because a student’s job is to pay attention in class.
Not talking in class is a way to show our respect for the teachers.”

“Well, I see,” Yue Xiaonao said.
“But I know nothing.
The lecture was gobbledegook to me.
It was so boring.
Mengmeng, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have come.”

“You, you don’t know anything yet, but you can learn.
It’s very simple.
You are so smart.
I bet you can grasp the content of the textbooks with a glance.
Moreover, if you do well in exams, your parents will reward you.
Every time I get good grades, my parents will reward me,” Mengmeng said seriously.

“Is that so? I can get rewards?” Yue Xiaonao became interested.

“What’s more, if you get good grades, teachers will like you, and other classmates will admire you.
Anyway, there are a lot of benefits,” Mengmeng said.

“Okay, I’ll give it a try.
Tonight, I’ll ask my dad if he has any reward for me.” Yue Xiaonao nodded.

However, in the second class, which was English, Yue Xiaonao felt a little lightheaded with all those foreign words buzzing in her ears.

But she listened attentively.
Soon, she realized that she had accurately memorized all the things the teacher said in this class.

She then split her mind into two and began to flip through the textbook.
When she was absorbed in learning, she didn’t feel the flow of time.
Then, as if in a short moment, the class was over.

“Oh, so that’s what taking a class is all about.
It feels okay.”

Once she began to focus on studying, it would not be so boring.

Like that, Yue Xiaonao’s school life commenced.

Seeing this, Yue Wuwei was quite gratified.

With emotion, he kept whispering in his head, “It’s true that keep good men company, and one shall be of the number.”

Also, he was puzzled by how Mengmeng, who was raised by Zi Yan and Zhang Han, could turn out to be so smart and sensible.
