The next morning, Guoguo saw two large trees that had fallen outside the herbal medicine restaurant and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, which almost scared Xu Yun, who had barely slept all night, into a stupor. Xu Yun ran out and only relaxed when he found out it wasn't a big deal.
"Mom, was there a strong wind last night?" Guoguo asked with a puzzled look.
Ruan Qingshuang also looked surprised and shook her head, not having heard any wind last night.
"It can't be that Baldy Qiang came to cut down trees, right?" Guoguo couldn't believe her eyes: "Mom, did I dream it again?"
Ruan Qingshuang vaguely heard some sounds last night but didn't pay attention. Due to the busy schedule at the herbal medicine restaurant during the day, she fell asleep very quickly and slept very deeply at night.
Guoguo, on the other hand, went to bed late last night and was extremely tired, so even the loud noise outside didn't wake her up.
Xu Yun was truly impressed by Guoguo's imagination: "There was no wind, and no Baldy Qiang."
"Then I'll call the relevant department to report it." Ruan Qingshuang smiled slightly: "Is Chou Yan still sleeping? Guoguo should go to school."
"Uh." Xu Yun was taken aback and looked at Chou Yan's room.
Chou Yan almost simultaneously came out of her room. Her complexion was much better than last night, indicating that the Wudu ointment combined with Xu Yun's true qi had been very effective.
Obviously, the events of last night made Chou Yan unsure how to face Xu Yun. She didn't expect to meet Xu Yun's eyes as soon as she stepped out, feeling awkward and at a loss.
After all, Xu Yun had torn her clothes and applied the medicine himself, and some of the areas where the scorpion's tail needle had pierced were very private for a woman. Being seen and touched by Xu Yun in such a way naturally made her feel embarrassed.
Even if Chou Yan was that cold and ruthless violent fox, she was still a woman at heart.
"Ah~ Ah~" Qin Wan'er yawned widely and appeared behind Chou Yan, complaining: "I'm so tired, I didn't sleep well all night."
Guoguo stared at Chou Yan with wide eyes, suddenly covering her mouth and looking at Qin Wan'er in surprise: "Could it be... you two are lesbians?"
Chou Yan almost rolled her eyes in anger, and Xu Yun burst out laughing.
"You're the lesbians!" Qin Wan'er went over and twisted Guoguo's ear: "Little brat, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up."
"I won't, Sister Wan'er, I'm sorry." Guoguo quickly begged for mercy.
Ruan Qingshuang looked at Xu Yun with a puzzled expression: "What are lesbians?"
"Uh..." Xu Yun's face turned black: "It's probably the same as good friends, right?"
"Explain to your sister! You've even corrupted Sister Qingshuang!" Qin Wan'er turned and glared at Xu Yun, accidentally seeing the clock on the wall, and pinched Guoguo's tender little face: "Little brat, I'll deal with you when I get off work!"
Although Chou Yan had basically recovered, she was still a bit weak. She had already heard from Qin Wan'er about the Red Scorpion being rescued. Feeling a bit awkward, she said: "Xu Yun, can you help me take Guoguo to school today?"
"Sure." Xu Yun agreed readily. He knew Chou Yan must be aware of her own condition and might need some time to recover. After all, she was injured by a top-notch expert like the Red Scorpion, and if anything happened on the way, it would be hard to ensure Guoguo's safety.
"Hey, Dad, this is a good opportunity for you to flirt with Teacher Su." Guoguo raised her eyebrows suggestively three times.
Ruan Qingshuang glared at her: "You should focus on your studies at school and not cause trouble for Teacher Su."
Guoguo stuck out her tongue: "Mom, are you jealous? Why don't you just get married?"
Ruan Qingshuang was speechless.
"Let's go! To school." Xu Yun picked up Guoguo and went downstairs: "Unfortunately, Godfather's car is broken, otherwise we wouldn't have to squeeze onto the bus."
Guoguo chuckled, thinking to herself: Luckily that Fukan is broken, otherwise riding in it would be embarrassing...
The International Bilingual School in Hedong City is one of the most famous schools in Jiangshan Province. Parents who come to drop off their children at least drive a Camry, not an outdated Fukan.
Everyone was in their respective positions. Ruan Qingshuang and Chou Yan stayed at the herbal medicine restaurant, Qin Wan'er went straight to the police station, and Xu Yun carried Guoguo onto the bus and left.
When one is unlucky, even drinking cold water can cause a toothache. This was Xu Yun's first time taking Guoguo to school. Not only was the bus hot and crowded, but it also broke down halfway.
The driver got out to check and then came back: "The bus won't start. Let's all get off. I'll call the company to send another bus, it'll take about ten minutes."
The passengers on the bus immediately complained.
"Damn, really?" Xu Yun frowned. If they waited ten minutes, Guoguo would be late.
Seeing the dejected passengers getting off the bus, Guoguo blinked her big eyes: "Dad, let's get off too. Let's take a taxi."
"Sure, listen to you." Xu Yun had no choice. He couldn't carry Guoguo and run a hundred meters.
During the morning rush hour, the bus breaking down caused a crowd of people trying to get taxis. As soon as an empty taxi stopped by the roadside, there was a rush to get in.
Although Xu Yun could always push aside the smelly men with his excellent physical strength, he always encountered pitiful girls who would say: "Handsome, can you help? Let me go first, I have an emergency at my company."
Xu Yun, though not a gentleman, couldn't bear to compete with the young white-collar women in high heels and short skirts, thinking he would definitely get a taxi in the next round, so he let them go.
But he let four or five girls go, and not only were the smelly men speechless, but even Guoguo was speechless.
"Dad, if you keep being so considerate, I'll really be late." Guoguo, held in Xu Yun's arms, shrugged and spread her hands.
Xu Yun smiled: "Hey, the next one is definitely ours."
But...
"Handsome, if I'm late, my company will fire me..."
Damn, why didn't that beautiful girl tell me earlier?!
Forget it, be a good person to the end. Xu Yun's resolve crumbled again.
Guoguo's face turned black. It seems she shouldn't let her dad take her to school in the future. If Sister Chou Yan came, they wouldn't even need to hail a taxi; the smelly uncles would probably stop one for them and say: "Ladies, why don't you go first?"
Just as Guoguo was mentally preparing to be late, a red Golf stopped elegantly in front of them.
Xu Yun frowned, thinking it might be the Red Scorpion gang trying to kidnap them.
The car window rolled down, revealing a beautiful face with large sunglasses, smiling and showing a row of white, neat teeth: "Why is it you two?"
"Teacher Su!" Guoguo was overjoyed: "The bus broke down, and my dad gave all the taxis to other beautiful sisters. Uh, Teacher Su, can we..."
"Get in!" Su Xiaoran waved her slender, fair hand.
Finally, they wouldn't be late. Guoguo breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Yun didn't hesitate, opened the back door, and put Guoguo in, then got in himself: "Teacher Su, I'm really troubling you."
Su Xiaoran smiled: "Don't be so formal, it's no trouble at all."
Actually, Su Xiaoran had a good impression of Xu Yun. She had heard about Ruan Qingshuang and Guoguo from Qin Wan'er. Xu Yun, a handsome young man, had helped them in their time of need, which was a virtue not everyone possessed.
Even though Guoguo later said that her dad was probably eyeing her mom's beauty, Su Xiaoran still felt that a person who could stand up for a stranger and offend a notorious gang like the Four Wolves was very brave.
A man's courage is a powerful weapon to attract women, of course, not the kind of courage that means being hot-tempered, but the kind that means standing up to evil forces without hesitation.
As Su Xiaoran drove away, the smelly men who had been competing with Xu Yun for taxis felt a mix of envy and resentment.
Guoguo chuckled to herself, feeling quite proud to be driven to school by her teacher. She hoped to run into her classmates when they got off.
But Guoguo's pride didn't last long. Su Xiaoran's sudden hard braking made her hit the front seat.
"Uh... sorry, I just got my license, and the car was registered yesterday. This is my first time driving." Su Xiaoran looked apologetic. The car in front had braked for a red light, and with her mind slightly distracted by Xu Yun, she reacted a bit slowly and hit the brakes hard.
Guoguo's back was drenched in cold sweat. No wonder she hadn't seen Su Xiaoran drive to school before: "Teacher Su, are you a road killer..."
Su Xiaoran laughed sheepishly: "Hehe, I'll drive slowly, it should be fine."
Guoguo rolled her eyes, thinking it was all over: "Dad, can you sit in the front?"
"Sure." Xu Yun didn't hesitate. He didn't want to be late on his first day taking Guoguo to school. He opened the door, got into the front passenger seat, and said to Su Xiaoran: "Drive confidently."
For some reason, Su Xiaoran suddenly felt a bit awkward and nervous, perhaps because the man she had always been curious about was now sitting so close to her.
Xu Yun tried to make his smile more masculine and charming. Although Su Xiaoran was beautiful, she wasn't as delicate as Ruan Qingshuang, as imposing as Qin Wan'er, or as noble as Chou Yan, but in terms of overall appeal, she was no less than the three of them. Her warmth was truly irresistible, befitting a primary school teacher.
Their eyes met, and neither looked away first.
"Cough!" Guoguo finally coughed, feeling completely ignored: "Teacher Su, the light is green."
Su Xiaoran suddenly came to her senses, her face flushing.
Guoguo reminded Xu Yun: "Dad, I asked you to sit in the front to ensure my safety, not to stare at Teacher Su..."
Being scolded by a child, Xu Yun felt a bit embarrassed, but it didn't stop him from looking at the beautiful woman.
