You are a surprise in my heart

This step is not only a simple sense of distance, but also the child will no longer see him as the only father in the world.

Today is An An's first day in kindergarten.

Early in the morning, Zhong Haotian woke up to check the things in the small schoolbag for An An.Zhong Haotian didn't know how long he had been looking forward to this day, but now that he could finally send his child to kindergarten, he was more excited than An An.

"Dad, is there a slide in the kindergarten?" An An asked while sitting in the car.

Zhong Haotian smiled and nodded, holding the steering wheel and looking ahead.

"Dad, will the children in the kindergarten be friends with me?" An An asked worriedly.

Zhong Haotian reached out and stroked An An's cheek.He knew the child's excitement and anxiety, and so did he.An An is more than five years old this year. Because he has never been educated, this time the kindergarten wants him to attend classes that are smaller than his peers.These are of course no problem, but An An has been locked up at home since he was a child. Although he is his father, the one who takes care of him is either a relative or Mr. Song next door. Worried that he will be bullied by other children, and An An is more introverted.

But because of this, it is even more important to send the child to kindergarten, so that he can adapt to collective life and have more contact with the outside world.Yang Zhenzhen received his email and was very happy that An An could go to such a good kindergarten.She had just chosen a major to take classes there, and her life was not easy.Parents divorced, and it was the child who suffered, and An An suffered a lot with him, Zhong Haotian loved the child very much.

Butterfly Kindergarten is located in a place intertwined with residential and commercial areas in Puxi. Its entrance is small and ordinary, but it is the most famous and old-fashioned kindergarten in Shanghai. It takes about 45 minutes to drive from Zhong Haotian’s home, and it is only ten minutes away from Lu Licheng’s new residence. .

"Hello, Mr. Zhong, my surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Qing." The head teacher who greeted Zhong Haotian turned out to be a young male teacher.

Zhong Haotian smiled and nodded, reaching out to hold the teacher's hand.

"This is An An, right?" Teacher Zhao squatted down and said to An An who was hiding behind his father with a smile.

"Yeah." An An grabbed her father's trousers, poked out half of her head and nodded.

"Does An An like Father Sun?" Teacher Zhao asked An An with a smile.

"I like it." Looking at the kind teacher Zhao, An An became less restrained.

"Then An An will definitely like the children in the Sun Class, how about making good friends with them?" Teacher Zhao stretched out her hand to hold An An who was hiding behind her father.

Zhong Haotian looked at the child with nostalgia, and never left his side since he was a child.Even if I am hospitalized and entrusted to Mr. Song's house next door, it is within my reach.And this step is not only a simple sense of distance, but also the child will no longer see him as the only father in the world.Even though he had been looking forward to this day for a long time, he felt a little bit reluctant after all.

'An'an is a bit introverted, I hope Teacher Zhao can let him communicate more with other children. Zhong Haotian, who was worried in every way, wrote it on a sticky note and handed it to Mr. Zhao.

"In our class, there are a few children who are a little shy. Mr. Zhong, don't worry, An An just talked to me and it is already very good." Teacher Zhao knew Zhong Haotian's special situation, and replied immediately after looking at the note.

Seeing Mr. Zhao say this, he was relieved and touched his son's head. Zhong Haotian waved to the child, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Father..." Seeing Zhong Haotian's leaving back, An An, who was a little excited, started to cry.

Hearing An An's crying voice, Zhong Haotian turned around and ran to the child, hugging the child and patting him on the back to comfort him.

"Mr. Zhong, children will be like this on the first day of kindergarten." Teacher Zhao said helplessly seeing Zhong Haotian hugging An An and not letting go.

Patted An An's head, touched his forehead to comfort the child again.An An's sobbing gradually quieted down, and Teacher Zhao led him in. Zhong Haotian watched him until he disappeared from sight.

After leaving the kindergarten, Zhong Haotian drove directly to the office.

Recently, the firm's case bidding for the government has reached the final sprint stage. Everyone is too busy to work overtime, and he, an "idle person", naturally needs to share some of the usual chores and the finishing work of small projects.

"Haotian, you're here." Ian greeted Zhong Haotian when he saw Zhong Haotian walk into the office.

Putting down the refreshments he brought for his colleagues, Zhong Haotian nodded with a smile.

"Okay, let's take a rest and continue." Ian stretched his waist, and his colleagues were so tired that they turned their backs on their backs. Hearing the boss's order, there were immediately sighs one after another.

After scrambling to claim their own milk tea, everyone slumped on their seats.Some took out their mobile phones to send text messages, while others took out small pillows and lay on them to take a nap.

"Hao Tian, ​​how is An An's first day in kindergarten today?" Ian swallowed a mouthful of lemon tea and finally regained some energy.

'The teacher is very good, but she cried when she entered. 'Zhong Haotian took out his ballpoint pen and wrote.

"Every child is like this. My daughter cried loudly when she went to the nursery on the first day. My husband was still hugging her and crying into a ball, which made me feel ashamed to stay by the side." The female colleague beside me saw the words written by Zhong Haotian He shook his head and said.

"Now that I am an only child, can I not feel bad? My son cried so much on the first day that his nose was in tears. My mother also said that he would not be able to go to kindergarten after taking him home." Recalling the first day my son went to kindergarten, playing games by the window The male colleague couldn't help but also interjected.

"My son will definitely not cry. He is stronger now than I was when I was a child. At such a young age, if you leave him alone, he won't pester adults." Ian said confidently.

"Ian, don't talk too much, and don't feel bad when he cries." The colleague closed his eyes and meditated.

This topic resonated with colleagues who have children, and they started discussing it in a hurry.Seeing that everyone said that children would cry on the first day of kindergarten, Zhong Haotian was relieved a lot.It seems that An An should have no major problems like other ordinary children...

Shanghai in the afternoon of non-weekends seems to be a different world from its usual high-paced pace.It's rare to have a free time today, and I made an appointment with Zhong Haotian to meet at the new house to check and accept the progress of the first phase.Since he was going to continue to hire him, Lu Licheng gave Zhong Haotian the temporary key.He and the administrator of the residence also explained the situation, and Zhong Haotian didn't need to notify him in particular when he went.

Open the door, and there is peace inside.On the walls and the floor, there are many more holes to drill for wiring and water pipes, and various decoration tools are scattered on the ground.Construction time constraints, so now the workers are gone.After Lu Licheng looked around, he found Zhong Haotian on a simple wooden armchair in the master bedroom on the second floor.

When I got closer, I found that he was falling asleep on the armchair with the drawings in his arms.The window was open, and the wind outside was no longer as cold as early spring, with some ethereal floral fragrance and warmth.The clouds in the sky are arranged neatly like pieces of gravel, moving slowly, the sun shines in from the outside, and gently falls on Zhong Haotian's face, and a gust of wind blows over his face, blowing the broken hair on his forehead.

Lu Licheng couldn't bear to disturb the tranquility, so he sat down at the small table by the window where the workers had boxed lunches, took out his notebook and thought about finishing some odd forms for today.

These days, because of the numerous chores in the office, there are also many finishing tasks for a 'leisurely person' like him.Therefore, I have been more tired recently.Although An An went to kindergarten, it took a long time for the pick-up and drop-off journey.

When Zhong Haotian woke up, he found that the blue sky outside the window had turned into a sunset glow, and the white clouds seemed to be covered with thick gold.

"Are you awake?" Lu Licheng's voice suddenly sounded.

"..." Zhong Haotian noticed that Lu Licheng was actually sitting across from him and working with a laptop. It seemed that he had been here for a long time, and his face blushed with embarrassment.

"Actually, I haven't been here for long. I just saw that you fell asleep and didn't wake you up. Anyway, I got off work early today." Seeing Zhong Haotian embarrassed, Lu Licheng explained aloud.

Hearing that Lu Licheng was kind enough to resolve the embarrassment for himself, he was even more embarrassed.Since taking care of him last time, Lu Licheng's attitude towards him is no longer as indifferent as when he first met, but has more sincerity as a friend.This made Zhong Haotian a little flattered.Originally, it was right to take care of Lu Licheng. He solved such a big difficulty for An An.However, Lu Licheng treated him as a friend because of this incident.

Immediately took out the blueprint in his arms and spread it out for Lu Licheng to see.

"I think the kitchen can be light gray?" Lu Licheng said carefully looking at the drawing.

'Light gray will look dirty, why not use light sky blue? ' Zhong Haotian wrote on the edge of the drawing.

"Not bad, the basic color should be light blue." Lu Licheng nodded in agreement.

From the kitchen to the hall to the small courtyard, the two of them communicated without any obstacles.

"It's so late, is it all right, An An?" I was so engrossed in the conversation just now that I forgot the time for a moment.I looked at my watch and it was already six o'clock in the evening, and the kindergarten should be over early.

Zhong Haotian smiled and shook his head, "An'an went to a friend's house for dinner today, and I will pick him up at 07:30." '

Speaking of An'an, Zhong Haotian was very pleased.In the past, he always worried that the child would be withdrawn and excluded by other children because he was introverted and did not communicate with his peers for a long time.

Unexpectedly, An An's personality is quite cheerful. After going to kindergarten, except for crying on the first day and the second day, she completely adapted to the collective life. Not only that, she also made a few good friends.One of them was a mixed-race boy whom An An called Little Confused. He was much more introverted than An An.Today, Little Misty dragged An An to his house as a guest.

There are also a few children, the King Pi in the class is quite obedient to the older An An.When Teacher Zhao reported An'an's situation, Zhong Haotian was very happy.This is the childhood and happiness that he should have at his age. If it wasn't for Lu Licheng's help, I'm afraid it would really delay the child.

"That's good." Seeing Zhong Haotian unconsciously writing his son's recent situation on the waste paper, Lu Licheng was also happy for him.He suddenly felt that his help was quite meaningful.At least let him make a friend and solve the knot for the father of a child.

'In any case, I should thank you. Zhong Haotian's eyes were big and energetic, and he looked at Lu Licheng gratefully.

"You took care of me for so long last time, we're even." Every time he sees Zhong Haotian thanking himself, he feels very embarrassed.

'An'an is in poor health and cannot go to school. Now she can go to kindergarten because of your help. Recalling the days when An An was at home, Zhong Haotian was full of guilt.

"You are a good father." Seeing Zhong Haotian's self-blaming expression, Lu Licheng comforted him, "Not only me, but also Mrs. He agreed to let him enter the kindergarten because you love An An so much."

'In the future, whenever you need me, you must come to me. ' Zhong Haotian wrote cautiously.

"Okay, I'll definitely look for you." Lu Licheng was a little helpless by his gratitude again and again, "But now, it's already dinner time. I'm a little hungry, why don't you invite me to eat something nearby?"

When Zhong Haotian was told by him, he also felt a little hungry.Immediately nodded and wrote, 'What do you want to eat? '

"There's a good Taiwanese restaurant nearby, why don't we go there and try it?" Lu Licheng said.

After agreeing to Lu Licheng's suggestion, Zhong Haotian drove and asked him to show him the way to the place to eat.

"Hello?" Lu Licheng's cell phone rang suddenly.

"Elliott, I'm afraid I won't be able to come out tomorrow, some work in the laboratory has not been dealt with." The other party's voice was soft and pleasant.

"Okay, take care of your body." Lu Licheng said helplessly.

"You have to be obedient, you know?" The girl giggled and hung up the phone.

"My new girlfriend." Lu Licheng felt a little shy when he saw Zhong Haotian's puzzled face.

Zhong Haotian raised his eyebrows in understanding and smiled.

"Don't tell Ian about this big mouth, or the whole grade will know about it." Lu Licheng can imagine Ian's mentality of going out of his way to advertise that he has a new girlfriend, and he can't help but feel a little headache. "I want to wait until the relationship is stable."

Zhong Haotian made an 'OK' gesture while driving, with a mocking smile on his face.

It was the first time he saw Zhong Haotian who was so lively and jumping.Thinking of Ian's description of him in the past, this is the real Zhong Haotian, Lu Licheng thought.
