Chapter 573 - 280: Parent-Teacher Meeting
Huaixi knew his mom was a punctual person, but he didn’t expect her to be this punctual, arriving right on the dot!
There was still an hour until the parent-teacher conference began, and Huaifeng and Huaixi were serving as small receptionists welcoming the parents. Both had a red silk ribbon draped over them. The two identical-looking little handsome guys were earnestly playing their roles as greeters, turning into quite a sight. Although the parent-teacher conference was organized by the school, the execution of various segments was the responsibility of the students.
"Xiao Feng, has Aunt Su arrived?" Hua Yi was dressed in the same outfit, a mini version of a steward’s tailcoat, with a comically pleasing red ribbon draped over him, and his face lightly made up. At this moment, he was holding the hand of a tall young man, "Xiao Feng, let me introduce you, this is my mom’s brother, my uncle..."
The young man looked at Huaifeng with interest. After Hua Yi spoke, he solemnly introduced himself, "I’m Dongshou Yi, Hua Yi’s uncle. Are you the little genius Su Huaifeng that Xiao Yi often talks about? Nice to meet you!"
Huaixi, with an expressionless face, raised his hand to wipe off the concealer from his right eyebrow, revealing a small mole, and said helplessly to Hua Yi, "I’m Huaixi, not Xiao Feng. Xiao Yi, you got it wrong again... Are Xiao Feng and I really that difficult to tell apart?"
Hua Yi was embarrassed, his face turning bright red and he mumbled, "It’s because you covered up your identifiers, it’s inevitable to mistake you..."
Huaixi really wanted to say something like, the teacher forced him to put on makeup, leading to the confusion, and it’s his fault?
Misled by his own nephew, Dongshou Yi gave an awkward smile, but quickly returned to normal and said gently, "Earlier, I mistook you, and that’s my fault. I apologize on behalf of Xiao Yi. How about I introduce myself again, Mr. Su Huaixi?"
Huaixi shook his head and said, "Uncle Dong, no need, Xiao Feng and I are twins after all, it’s normal to mistake us for each other."
Upon hearing the term "Uncle Dong", Hua Yi forgot his awkwardness and burst out laughing, "So Xiao Xi makes mistakes too, you shouldn’t call my uncle ’Uncle Dong,’ the last name is ’Dongshou’, not ’Dong’... Hehe, right, Uncle?"
Dongshou Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, indeed, but Xiao Xi doesn’t need to be too upset, after all ’Dongshou’ is a rather uncommon surname. Xiao Yi often mentions you and your brother to me..."
Dongshou Yi had known about Su Huaifeng and Su Huaixi for a long time, but it’s only now that he saw them in person. His friend Gu Ningxuan has a peculiar hobby; he likes to capture what he considers precious memories and store them in a private space.
This space has access restrictions, only friends on his list can view it. After Gu Ningxuan’s incident, it hadn’t been updated for a long time. Yet upon update, a string of photos was found, all of similarly looking babies.
Starting from tiny infants with unopened eyes, all the way to two five-year-olds, it seems like a growth record book. Dongshou Yi asked Gu Ningxuan, but doesn’t know what the guy is up to, as there’s been no reply until now.
"Yeah." Huaixi blushed slightly, truly a bit embarrassed. Getting someone’s surname wrong is quite mortifying, "Xiao Yi is also great, studies hard, and the teachers all like him..."
Dongshou Yi chatted with Huaixi for a couple more moments and suddenly asked, "Will your parents be attending the parent-teacher conference today?"
If possible, maybe he could see the woman in Gu Ningxuan’s sneaky photos. No idea what Gu Ningxuan’s brain was thinking, but he harbored ambiguous feelings towards a woman with children. Dongshou Yi informed Zuo Zhihao of this speculation a few days ago, betting that Gu Ningxuan finally had an epiphany... although the person he had an epiphany about was someone else’s wife, Zuo Zhihao didn’t believe it!
Zuo Zhihao is one of Gu Ningxuan’s few close friends, with bonds as strong as life and death. However, Zuo Zhihao was sent by his family to a godforsaken place to toughen up, where even chickens don’t lay eggs and birds won’t poop, leading to isolated news, so he was unaware of Gu Ningxuan’s incident for several years.
This news, Zuo Zhihao only learned upon barely surviving and completing family tasks.
Thinking back to the student days with a few buddies at Xilena, and thinking of today’s varied circumstances, it’s absolutely false to say one’s not emotional! Speaking of which... Zuo Zhihao seems to have received some urgent task recently, it’s been a while since communication...
