"Youyou, it's so late, why don't you go to bed early? We'll do your homework tomorrow. If the teacher asks you why you didn't do your homework, just ask her to call me."

"It's okay, brother-in-law, I don't have much homework today, I'll finish it in a while."

Zhang Mingyang finally understood why a good student was a good student. Even though it was already nine o'clock in the evening, Youyou still insisted on finishing today's homework.

If someone had told him that he didn't have to do homework when he was a child, he would have jumped up with joy.

What homework? Why didn’t I know there was homework?

But that can't be said. When he was a child, even if no one told him, he would often not do his homework. It has become a habit.

After they finished eating in the evening, Zhang Mingyang was not in a hurry to go back. He took the two sisters to the arcade in the mall and played until they had a great time before returning.

The little girl was a little shy at first and only dared to watch them play. Later, with Zhang Mingyang's encouragement, she finally dared to start it herself.

Good students never go to the arcade. Xu Linyou only occasionally heard it mentioned by boys in the class, but he had never been there before.

These devices that Zhang Mingyang was tired of playing with were still new in 2011.

They played in the arcade for a long time, and it was already nine o'clock in the evening when they came back.

Xu Linyou usually goes to bed at nine o'clock in the evening.

But the first thing she did when she came back today was not to sleep. Instead, she picked up her schoolbag, found out the homework assigned by the teacher today, spread it on the table and picked up the pen from the pencil box.

"Okay then, finish writing early and go to bed early."

Zhang Mingyang couldn't stop the little girl's enthusiasm for doing homework.

This is probably the obsession of a good student. No wonder he can't become a good student.

"Well, I can finish it soon."

After Xu Linyou finished speaking, she did not start doing her homework immediately. She still stared at her brother-in-law and hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Mingyang asked proactively.

"Brother-in-law, are you going back tonight?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Mingyang smiled, touched Xu Linyou's head and said, "It's not safe to drive at night. I'll stay here tonight."

"Um!"

After getting a positive answer, Xu Linyou finally felt at ease and started to do his homework.

Zhang Mingyang didn't know what homework the little girl was writing, but judging from her writing speed, the homework in her hand shouldn't be difficult for her.

No wonder I said I could finish it quickly.

He quietly left the room, trying not to make the slightest sound.

When going out, Xu Duanran, who had changed into pajamas, happened to appear at the door. She wanted to see how her sister was doing.

Zhang Mingyang made a "hush" gesture to the eldest lady and whispered: "Youyou is doing homework inside."

Xu Duanran nodded with a surprised expression.

Although she is also a good student, she is not as good as Xu Linyou. When she was a child, she was often taken away from her homework by bad guys.

"I probably don't want you to think it was a mistake to take her out to play today." Xu Duanran gave his own opinion.

She could imagine that Lin Jingxi probably wanted to raise an almost perfect child in order to please Xu Mo.

For Xu Linyou, learning is the most important thing.

She probably didn't want her brother-in-law to think that she took her out to play today out of good intentions, but ended up delaying her studies.

Zhang Mingyang smiled helplessly.

"As long as a child has fun in her childhood, I don't care how she studies. Is she tired?"

If he has children in the future, he will definitely insist on happy education.

Having seen the future, he knows that the extent to which a child can develop is closely related to the platform given by his parents.

If the platform is not good, even studying hard will be of little use.

Society even gave this group of people a very insulting nickname. It seemed they were called so-and-so, but he couldn't quite remember.

"A scumbag student can't understand the obsession of a top student." Xu Duanran laughed.

"Yes, yes, you are all top academics, but I am the scumbag."

What else can be done, just admit it.

The two of them left Xu Linyou's room together and walked to the stairs on the second floor. Xu Duanran suddenly put his arms around Zhang Mingyang's waist.

"Are you going back tonight?"

She asked the same question as her sister.

Zhang Mingyang reached out and pinched the eldest lady's nose, pretending to be angry and said: "It's so late and it's still so dark outside, do you still want to drive me away?"

Xu Duanran didn't accept this trick and retorted directly: "It's not because you often leave just as you say."

Although there was a little resentment in her tone, she did not mean to blame Zhang Mingyang.

They were in no hurry to go back to the room. Xu Duanran took Zhang Mingyang's hand and sat down directly on the stairs.

She tilted her head slightly and leaned on the bad guy's shoulder.

Although Zhang Mingyang sat down with him, he still reminded him: "The ground is cold."

Unexpectedly, the eldest lady not only had no intention of getting up from the ground, but actually conjured two cushions from nowhere.

After sitting on the mat, it wasn't that cold underneath.

"Do you often sit here?" Zhang Mingyang asked.

If you don't sit here often, there won't be a mat next to you.

"Yeah." Xu Duanran nodded, pointed to the door not far away and said, "You can see the door from here. Sometimes I feel bored and sit here to study or think about things, wondering when you can come."

When she said the last sentence, the eldest lady's voice was almost too quiet to be heard.

Zhang Mingyang did not reply in a hurry, but accompanied her to look at the door.

Although Xu Mo rarely comes back to live there, the house he bought is surprisingly large.

There were only two sisters and a nanny living in the huge villa, making it look empty.

During the Chinese New Year some time ago, there were still many people living here, but now it has become deserted again.

He could imagine the eldest lady sitting alone on the stairs.

The house in Steel City also has stairs, and the eldest lady liked to sit on the stairs when she was a child.

Zhang Mingyang asked her who she was waiting for, but the childhood Xu Duanran never said.

Thinking about it later, she was also waiting for someone at that time. She was waiting for her father to come back.

I'm still waiting, but the target has become him.

"It's a good thing you're here today, otherwise I wouldn't know how to coax Youyou." When the two of them sat quietly, Xu Duanran whispered, "I didn't expect you to have the talent to educate children."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Mingyang waved his hand: "I don't have any talent, I just make quick decisions. After all, I saw a similar awkward kid when I was a child, so I have experience."

"Who are you saying is awkward!"

The eldest lady was not happy, so she stretched out her snow-white feet from her slippers and stepped hard on the bad guy's insteps.

Zhang Mingyang quickly shook his head and said that he was innocent: "I didn't name him by name, you admitted it first!"

Xu Duanran glared at Zhang Mingyang, took his arm and buried his head in his arms.

The bad guy was right, she was indeed like this when she was a child.

"I only realized after seeing Youyou today that she has been carefully maintaining our relationship for fear that we would be unhappy. She has never fully trusted us."

Zhang Mingyang sighed slightly and expressed his thoughts.

He spoke silently, while Xu Duanran listened quietly.

"Some scars will not heal so easily. We still need to show more love and let Youyou know that no matter what she does, it doesn't matter even if she is willful, we are all a family."

Zhang Mingyang spoke in a gentle tone with a slight smile on his lips.

Xu Duanran raised his head and stared at the bad guy in front of him, slightly stunned. He had completely fallen into his trap called tenderness.

She seemed to feel the warmth of the sun on the bad guy.

"It would be great if my father were you." Xu Duanran blurted out without thinking.

The gentle temperament was self-defeating, and Zhang Mingyang laughed "haha".

"Damn, I think of you as my girlfriend, but you actually want me to be your dad! No problem, dad agreed. Come on, kid, please call dad!"

Hearing the villain's ridicule, Xu Duanran immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

She became so angry that she picked up Zhang Mingyang's arm and bit it hard.

"It hurts, it hurts! If you don't scream, don't scream. Why are you still biting!"

Seeing the two neat rows of cute tooth marks left on the bad guy's arm, Xu Duanran relaxed with satisfaction.
