Chapter 35 Surprise? This is clearly a shock!
Chapter 35 Surprise? This is clearly a shock!
Reminded by Ayumi, Ran immediately looked in the direction she was pointing.
That's Lin Xiuyi!
He stood tall and straight under the sycamore tree in front of the teaching building, dressed in a casual suit, his brows slightly furrowed, his gaze sweeping across the campus as if searching for someone.
"Ran, is your dad sneaking into school again?" Ayumi asked worriedly. "He was arrested by detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department yesterday. If he's caught again, will he be taken to the Metropolitan Police Department again?"
"hehe……"
Xiao Lan's lips twitched, revealing an awkward, self-deprecating smile.
This guy has only shown his face twice, yet he's already left the impression of a "criminal suspect" in the minds of elementary school students. Seriously...
But what is he doing at the school?
Xiao Lan was a little puzzled. Could it be related to what he was secretly planning to do last night?
As the two were wondering, the school bell suddenly rang urgently, and the PE teacher's whistle came from not far away.
"Oh no, PE class is about to start!" Ayumi exclaimed, grabbing Ran's hand and running towards the locker room.
……
A few minutes later, on the playground of Teitan Elementary School, the children of Class 1B were jogging in neat rows under the guidance of their physical education teacher.
Xiaolan jogged two laps with the group, then stopped and joined everyone in warm-up exercises, stretching her arms and moving her ankles.
But after only a short while, Ayumi, who was next to her, suddenly nudged her gently with her elbow.
"Xiao Lan, look to your right!"
Ran looked in the direction Ayumi indicated, and her cute little face instantly darkened, with veins throbbing on her forehead.
Lin Xiuyi was standing by the playground, holding a camera and snapping photos in the direction of Class B, Grade 1.
That idiot!
Xiaolan was speechless, inwardly furious: Who takes pictures of a group of elementary school students like this? And so blatantly at that!
Does he want to go to the Metropolitan Police Department again and experience the treatment in the detention cell?
The girl was anxious and wanted to rush over to stop the man's "indecent" behavior.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, the physical education teacher also noticed Lin Xiuyi at the edge of the playground, put down his whistle, and walked straight over.
This is troublesome!
Xiao Lan's heart leaped into her throat: What if the PE teacher thought Lin Xiuyi was a bad guy and called the police? Wouldn't he be arrested again?
She recalled the scene at the Metropolitan Police Department yesterday, where she saw Lin Xiuyi embracing that short-haired policewoman, and her heart tightened instantly.
For Mom's happiness, we absolutely cannot let him cause any more trouble!
Thinking of this, Xiaolan ignored the surprised looks from her classmates, stopped preparing for exercise, and ran towards Lin Xiuyi and the PE teacher.
"I'm sorry, teacher!"
The girl ran breathlessly to the two of them and bowed deeply without saying a word.
"This is me..."
Before Xiaolan could utter the word "Dad," the PE teacher interrupted her with a look of surprise.
"Do you know Dr. Lin Xiuyi?"
"doctor?"
Xiaolan suddenly raised her head, her face full of astonishment, her big eyes wide open.
She turned to look at Lin Xiuyi, only to see him looking at her with a half-smile, a smug smile on his lips.
"Oh, right, your homeroom teacher probably hasn't notified you yet."
The PE teacher smiled and introduced Xiaolan, "This is Dr. Lin Xiuyi, a psychology PhD from Harvard University. From now on, he will be the shared psychologist for our Teitan Elementary School, junior high school, and high school, specializing in helping everyone solve their psychological problems!"
Huh? Is that so?!
Xiaolan instantly understood, feeling both amused and exasperated.
It turns out that Lin Xiuyi was acting all mysterious yesterday because he was planning to sneak into Teitan Elementary School to become a psychologist!
This isn't a surprise at all, it's clearly a scare game!
Looking at Lin Xiuyi's smug smile that seemed to say "Praise me!", she immediately guessed what this "father" was thinking.
He clearly intended this as a surprise for her!
Thinking of this, Xiaolan felt a little resentful: Her mother knew about this yesterday, but she didn't stop him and let him act so recklessly!
"Then...the photo from earlier?"
Xiaolan suppressed her inner complaints, raised her head and asked in a low voice, afraid that he would say something outrageous again.
"Oh, that one."
Lin Xiuyi casually put away her camera and explained in a serious tone,
"I plan to create a health record for every student in the school. Exercise is also a part of physical and mental health, so I took some photos here to record everyone's condition when exercising."
The physical education teacher standing nearby nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Dr. Lin is very thoughtful. Exercise is indeed very important for physical and mental health."
But Xiaolan was filled with suspicion and secretly pursed her lips.
Although she had only spent a few days with Lin Xiuyi, she had already realized that this "father" was definitely not as serious as he seemed on the surface!
He took the photos definitely not to create any health records!
Although she didn't believe him, Xiaolan couldn't expose him in front of the PE teacher, so she could only swallow her doubts and force a well-behaved smile onto her face.
"I see. Thank you so much, Dr. Lin."
Hearing her deliberately distant way of addressing him, Lin Xiuyi's eyes flashed with a smile, but he didn't point it out. He simply raised his chin at her, signaling the girl to hurry back to class.
Ran rolled her eyes in exasperation, turned around and ran back to the group. As soon as she got back, she was surrounded by Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta.
The three friends chattered excitedly, all overjoyed.
They went to the Metropolitan Police Department yesterday, but didn't even have a chance to say a few words to Lin Xiuyi.
Now that they know Xiaolan's father will be the school's psychologist, the three children are overjoyed and their minds are filled with thoughts of getting his autograph and chatting with him.
……
After school in the afternoon, Lin Xiu waited at the gate of Teitan Elementary School early in the morning.
Ran led Ayumi out of the school gate. When she saw Lin Xiuyi, a helpless yet warm smile appeared on her face. After saying goodbye to Ayumi, she ran towards him.
Standing at the school gate watching the students leave, Kobayashi Sumiko also spotted Hayashi Shuichi. She was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized and laughed.
She then understood why Lin Xiuyi had asked her last night if Teitan University had any positions for psychologists.
It turns out he wanted to work at the school for his daughter!
"Dr. Lin really loves Xiaolan very much."
Looking at the father and daughter standing side by side, Kobayashi Sumiko sincerely sighed, but inwardly she couldn't help but mutter a resentful thought.
It's rare to see a father who would go to such lengths for his daughter!
