Chapter 706 - 545: Clearly Could Live Off His Looks, Yet Chose to Rely on Strength
"Daddy, let me put it on for you..."
Qingqing excitedly shook the electronic watch in her hand, her bright big eyes filled with anticipation for her father.
As the standout in Class (4) with the most little red flowers, Qingqing immediately took a fancy to this black electronic watch when choosing a gift. She thought it was very cool and perfect for her dad to wear, so she chose it without hesitation to give it to her father as a gift.
It turned out, her choice was indeed excellent!
This watch not only had a trendy design but also exuded a unique cool feeling, making it the most desired gift among the boys in the class. Several boys eyed the watch eagerly, but they couldn’t exchange it due to a shortfall of little red flowers.
Later, they even tried to trade their toys, snacks, or beloved comics with Qingqing.
But Qingqing firmly refused all offers because, in her heart, this gift carried her deep love for her dad and was irreplaceable.
Weiwei’s situation was quite similar to Qingqing’s.
Although she had fewer little red flowers than Qingqing, she also demonstrated keen insight in selecting a gift.
The black sunglasses she chose were fashionable yet individual, envied by the other boys.
Those boys also attempted to trade their gifts for Weiwei’s sunglasses, but she turned each of them down.
After all, this was a gift she intended for her dad, and she wouldn’t trade it with anyone...
"Daddy, let me put the sunglasses on you too..."
Weiwei beamed with an innocent smile, stood on her tiptoes, and raised the sunglasses high, trying to place them on her dad.
"Ah, okay!"
Huang Jun nodded with a smile, happiness written across his face, as he crouched down slightly, tilting his face up to make it easier for Weiwei to place the sunglasses on his eyes.
Meanwhile, he reached out his right hand, patiently waiting for Qingqing to put the brand-new electronic watch on him.
Upon seeing this.
Qingqing swiftly tore open the packaging with a "whish," handling the electronic watch inside like a precious treasure. She carefully placed it on her dad’s sturdy wrist, fearing it might slip off with the slightest mistake.
Since it was her first time trying to put on a watch, and with Huang Jun’s wrist being quite robust while the watch’s strap was a bit snug, despite her efforts, the clasp wouldn’t fasten smoothly.
"Huh, why won’t it buckle?"
Qingqing muttered anxiously.
Huang Jun gently extended his left hand, softly patting Qingqing’s head: "Qingqing, maybe you should let Daddy try?"
"I don’t want to, I really want to put it on you myself..." Qingqing stubbornly insisted.
Encouragement glimmered in Huang Jun’s eyes, and he smiled warmly: "Alright, then let’s take our time together, no rush. Try using the last hole on the strap, see if that works."
"Mmm, alright!"
Qingqing nodded vigorously like a pecking chick, her eyes glimmering with determination. "Daddy, I got it, rest assured, I can do it!"
With those words.
She focused even more intently on examining the buckle on the strap, carefully adjusting its position bit by bit. Though her movements were somewhat clumsy, she ultimately succeeded in aligning it with the last hole.
"That’s it, right there, try to press the clasp gently..."
Huang Jun continued to encourage gently while reaching out, patiently guiding Qingqing to complete the final step.
Finally.
Through his unwavering patience and Qingqing’s relentless efforts, the watch strap was finally clasped together.
In an instant...
A radiant smile spread across Qingqing’s face, as bright as the sunshine, as if she had accomplished an incredible feat.
"Yay! I did it!"
Qingqing cheered excitedly, bouncing lightly on the spot, then threw her arms around Weiwei beside her to share this rare joy.
Huang Jun glanced down at the snug electronic watch on his wrist. Despite the slight discomfort due to size, the weight of his daughter’s heartfelt sentiment surged warmth through his heart, more precious and sweet than any comfort.
"Sister, you were amazing!"
Weiwei exclaimed in genuine admiration for Qingqing, full of joy, then added, "Now it’s my turn to try."
After saying this, Weiwei didn’t forget to turn to Huang Jun beside her, pouting discontentedly, "Daddy, make sure not to move around again. You were moving so much earlier, I couldn’t properly place the sunglasses on you, seriously."
"Okay, okay, Daddy understands and will fully cooperate with my little princess."
Huang Jun responded with a broad smile, as he slowly adjusted his head to ensure Weiwei could place the sunglasses on him without any hindrance.
Seeing her dad so cooperative, a brilliant smile spread across Weiwei’s face as she carefully unfolded the sunglasses, attempting to gently place them on Huang Jun’s eyes.
But unfortunately...
Since these sunglasses were a children’s model, with a smaller size, and Huang Jun’s face was slightly wide, despite Weiwei’s earnest attempts, the sunglasses couldn’t sit securely on her dad’s eyes.
"Oh no, these sunglasses seem a bit small..."
Weiwei furrowed her small brows gently, a faint hint of disappointment appearing in her eyes.
Her small hands subconsciously drooped, revealing a touch of dejection.
Huang Jun gazed into Weiwei’s slightly dimmed eyes, feeling a surge of complex emotions, a blend of heartache and self-reproach.
