CHAPTER 331
"M-Mr Li. What a surprise to see you at my school," Mr Tang smiled awkwardly. "You... What are you waiting for? Let him in. Do you not know who is standing before you?" He scolded the security man.
"I am sorry Mr Tang. I was just following your orders. I apologise, Mr Li," he bowed his head as soon as he opened the gate.
"No problem," Li Fengjin nodded at the security man. Then he turned to Mr Tang.
"I do not have much time for pleasantries, Mr Tang. I am here to pick up my son."
"Y-Your son? Mr Li is... you are married?" Mr Tang said out of shock.
"Why are you so surprised? Can\'t I get married?"
"No... I mean yes. You can... Everyone can. It is just that I-I had no idea that your ch-child learns at mm-my school. Please follow me."
Just in time for the closing of the school activities, Li Fengjin and Mr Tang reached Bai Xiaojin\'s classroom. They were standing by the door.
Their arrival caught Teacher Song\'s attention. The children who could see Li Fengjin were in awe. Soon, they were all looking out to see the handsome, tall man by their classroom door.
"Teacher Song please excuse me. I need you right now," Mr Tang beckoned to him.
Teacher Song dropped the stacks of paper he was holding and walked out of the classroom. He told the children to behave since they seem to be having a visitor in the school.
"Good afternoon, Mr Tang. Good afternoon Mr Li," Teacher Song greeted.
Li Fengjin gave a curt nod as his eyes sized the young man before him. Teacher Song could be in the same age group as Li Fengjin. He was tall but not as tall as Li Fengjin.
He has wavy brown hair and matching brown eyes. His features were not bad either. His aura as a teacher was good no doubt.
\'He must be good with kids,\' Li Fengjin thought. So far, the first impression Li Fenjin had of Teacher Song was good. He mentally nodded his head.
"Oh, you know him already?"
"Yea. Everyone knows the legendary Mr Li" Teacher Song did with a polite smile.
"That is good then. Mr Li said his child is in your class. Please call him out," Mr Tang said.
"His child?" Teacher Song\'s eyes trailed to Li Fengjin and back to the principal. "I do not think I know of a child with the surname Li, in my class," he said.
"Xiaojin. His name is Bai Xiaojin," Li Fengjin said.
"Ms Bai\'s son is... is your child?" Mr Tang asked.
This was the second wave of shock he was getting today. It had not even been up to them minutes yet. His poor heart and head.
Bai Xiaojin who had seen Li Fengjin when he came started packing what little stuff he had to take home. Gu Mingzhe was confused.
"Hey, Xiaojin we are not through with studying. Why are you packing your bag already?" He asked.
"I am going home. We will see next week or talk over our parents\' phones," Bai Xiaojin said.
"But tour mummy is not here yet. Is it driver uncle?" Gu Mingzhe asked again.
"No. My daddy came instead. Look there," Bai Xiaojin pointed at the door.
While Gu Mingzhe was busy admiring the tall handsome man by their classroom door, he heard Bai Xiaojin\'s voice.
"Bye, Mingzhe. Say hi to your mummy for me," Bai Xiaojin said before he ran off.
"Wait, is that your dad?"
"Yes, he is."
On getting to where the three men stood, Bai Xiaojin called out excitedly, "Daddy."
Li Fengjin\'s child face softened once he heard what Bai Xiaojin called him. He smiled as he crouched down to Bai Xiaojin\'s level.
"How is my son doing?" He asked whole receiving Bai Xiaojin\'s hug.
"I doing great. You came to pick me up today, so I am super excited," Bai Xiaojin said.
"Me too," Li Fengjin carried as he stood up.
"Is mummy okay now?" Bia Xiaojin quickly asked. He had been thinking about her all day.
"She is a lot better. She was sleeping when I left the house."
"Okay."
"So, he is your father?" Teacher Song could not help but ask.
"Yes, Teacher Song," Bai Xiaojin nodded.
His smile had not gone down even a little. He was very glad that Li Fengjin came to his classroom to pick h up. That way, all those who talked nonsense about him and his mother would feel ashamed of themselves.
\'Sigh. I wish those stupid trio trouble from my previous school were here. My daddy is way cooler and more handsome than theirs,\' Bai Xiaojin thought.
"Thank you for today. If that is all, I will be leaving with my son now," Li Fengjin said.
"Oh, yes. Right," Mr Tang snapped out of his trance and smiled.
"Mr Li, thank you for showing up personally today. It would make a lot of changes in the way most kids and parents view Xiaojin and his mother," Teacher Song said.
"I had to make up for not showing up for a long time. Thank you for caring for my son," Li Fengjin appreciated Teacher Song\'s words.
There was genuine care in them.
"Do have a nice day and please send my regards to your wife," Teacher Song said.
"I will. Thank you. Have a nice day too," Li Fengjin nodded his head at him before turning to leave.
Mr Tang followed them up to the school gate and then bid them goodbye. Meanwhile, a few parents of children from Bai Xiaojin\'s class were surprised to see him with that man, Mr Li.
"Is that not Ms Bai\'s child? What is he doing with Mr Li?" A parent asked.
"Did you not hear the child calling him daddy?" Another parent said.
"He must be his father. Look at them. They look so much alike."
"That is true. So, Ms Bai was not a slut as the rumours say. The boy has a father after all."
"Hmm. She is lucky to bear the child and be the woman of such a handsome and capable man."
"Yea, she is."
"We should get going now. We came to get our children and not to drool over another woman\'s man," one of the parents said.
In Bai Xiaojin\'s classroom, the children forgot that it was time to go home. They were all interested in what they said and heard earlier. The class became rowdy.
"Is that really Bai Xiaojin\'s daddy?" Mini asked her friend.
"Yea. Did you not hear everything they said?" Ming replied her question with a question of her own.
They were the ones closer to the door, so they heard every single word exchanged by the principal, their class teacher, Bai Xiaojin and his father.
"Wow! Bai Xiaojin\'s daddy is so handsome. It\'s no wonder he is handsome too," Mimi said.
"It turns out that what Yu Bao and Meng Jue said was a lie," another child said.
"You Bao and Meng Jue hope you are eating your words now. Xiaojin has a daddy who is way cooler than anyone," Gu Mingzhe laughed out loud.
"That is true. Xiojin\'s daddy is even cooler than my daddy," another child said making the rest kids burst out laughing.
Teacher Song could only sigh and shake his head. These children talked way more than he expects them to. Sometimes he tends to forget about this and get surprised most times they say some things.
This was actually the first time the children stayed in their classrooms. They would normally run out of class as soon as they hear the sound of the closing bell.
But all because of one kid\'s father, they stayed put to talk. Children are funny creatures. One by one, parents came to get their children from the classroom.
Each child did not forget to tell their parents about the tall handsome man that came to their classroom this afternoon. He was Bai Xiaojin\'s father.
On their way home, Bai Xiaojin could not hide his joy. He thought of how he would be surrounded by his classmates the following week. They would be asking him a lot of questions and even praising him.
He also thought of what Yu Bao and Meng Jue would do or say to him by then. Today, he was opportune to see their faces covered in shame and embarrassment.
Bai Xiaojin felt unexplainable joy filling him up.
"You seem to like that I came to pick you up very much. What are you thinking about?" Ki Fengjin interrupted his train of thoughts?
"Nothing much. Just about my next time at school," Bai Xiaojin said with a shrug.
"I see. Do you want me to come to your school often?"
"Can you do that?" Bai Xiaojin asked with shiny eyes.
"Hahaha. Yes, I can."
"Yay! I would love that. Thank you," Bai Xiaojin hugged him again.
"No need. It was a real father would do for his son."
