Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

In the morning.

At home.

Wu Zeqing was helping Zhang Ye pack his luggage. "How long will you be away for?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "At least a month."

Wu Zeqing nodded and smiled. "You don\'t have to be worried about anything at home, I\'ll take care of it all. Just film the drama. When you get back, I\'ll hold a reception for you."

Zhang Ye hugged Wu Zeqing, who was kneeling on the floor and packing his luggage for him, from behind. "My wife is still the best. I had wanted to spend more time with you and our daughter since I just came back. It hasn\'t even been half a month, but I have to go away again. Hai, look at me, why can\'t I just seem to sit still?"

Wu Zeqing smiled. After packing the luggage, she stood up and adjusted Zhang Ye\'s collar. "It\'s good to be active. I gave you the project, after all. Since you have to do it, do it well. Don\'t disappoint those who are still supporting you and show them what you\'re capable of."

Zhang Ye said, "OK."

Sisi looked a little sad. "Daddy."

Zhang Ye smiled and picked her up. "What is it, my dear?"

"Don\'t go," Sisi said.

Wu Zeqing smiled. "Daddy will be back soon."

Sisi said unhappily, "Sisi has to go to school today. I want Daddy to come with me."

Wu Zeqing said, "Didn\'t we already agree that Mommy will go with you?"

Sisi tugged at Zhang Ye\'s collar and said softly, "I want Daddy to go with me."

Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "You\'ve clinging to your daddy?"

Sisi said shyly, "Teacher hasn\'t met Daddy before."

When he heard that, Zhang Ye\'s heart melted. So he said, "Alright, Daddy will go with you to school."

Wu Zeqing said, "You still have a flight to catch."

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "The production crew\'s flight is in the afternoon, so there\'s still time."

Sisi immediately cheered up. "Oh! Long live Daddy!"

Wu Zeqing reminded, "Drive slowly then."

"I know. Let\'s go, my dear." Holding his luggage in one hand, Zhang Ye carried his daughter in his other arm and walked out of the villa.

Sisi was elated.

…

At the kindergarten.

Today was the school\'s reopening day. The school had already prepared a public class for the parents had to sit in on. Many of the parents had arrived with their children very early in the morning.

Zhang Ye brought Sisi in and entered the kindergarten classroom. Everyone\'s eyes focused on him. The parents were all very surprised to see him.

Everyone was really excited to see Zhang Ye in person.

The children looked at Zhang Ye and Sisi with curiosity.

Several of the young children who usually played with Sisi ran over to her.

"Sisi, is this your daddy?"

"Yes! He\'s my daddy!"

"Is your daddy a big star?"

"Yes, my daddy is amazing!"

"Your daddy is so handsome."

"Heehee."

Sisi was feeling really proud. She pulled on her father\'s hand and showed him off to everyone.

At this moment, the teacher entered.

Sisi\'s form teacher was a woman who had the surname Cui. She wasn\'t old, and was at most in her 20s. Judging by her appearance, she was a very well-mannered teacher.

Teacher Cui also spotted Zhang Ye. In the moment, her heart couldn\'t stop pounding. She was also Zhang Ye\'s fan years ago. Although Zhang Ye\'s position in her heart had been replaced by several male idols, that didn\'t stop her from getting somewhat excited at meeting her former idol.

However, it didn\'t show on her face. She had to treat every parent equally.

After a simple opening speech, the public class officially began.

Teacher Cui said with a kind expression, "During the holidays, did all of you finish the homework that Teacher assigned? Alright, Teacher will test you a little. Who wants to answer the first question?"

"Me!"

"Me! Me! Me!\'

"I want to answer it!"

The children were all putting their hands up!

Sisi didn\'t make any movements at first. But when she saw everyone raising their hands, she was startled and hurriedly put her hand as well.

Teacher Cui\'s gaze landed on her. She smiled and said, "Alright then, let\'s have Sisi answer the first question."

Sisi was a little nervous.

Zhang Ye nudged his daughter encouragingly.

Only then did Sisi timidly stand forward.

All of the parents were looking at her.

Teacher Cui put up all five fingers of her hand and said, "Sisi\'s pocket has five pieces of candy. If Teacher takes away two pieces of candy, how many pieces of candy are left?"

Sisi counted with her fingers and thought for a long time. "There are…there are still three candies left!"

Teacher Cui asked again, "Then if Teacher were to take away another piece of candy?"

Sisi spent a long time thinking before saying, "Two pieces of candies! There are two pieces of candies left!"

Teacher Cui smiled. "That\'s very good. Then what if Teacher were to take away another two pieces of candy?"

Sisi was getting anxious by now. She counted with her fingers and couldn\'t find out the answer at all.

Teacher Cui said, "Count it carefully. How many pieces of candy are left?"

Sisi turned around and tugged on Zhang Ye\'s sleeve. "Daddy! Daddy!"

Teacher Cui said, "You cannot ask your daddy for the answer. Think for yourself."

Sisi couldn\'t calculate it no matter what and her eyes reddened.

Many of the parents laughed under their breath.

Now Zhang Ye demonstrated how protective he was of his daughter. He bent down and picked Sisi up, then said to Teacher Cui with a smile, "Teacher Cui, there\'s a problem with your question."

Teacher Cui was taken aback. "Ah? What problem?"

Zhang Ye said, "The child only has five pieces of candy, but you took all of it away and didn\'t even leave one for her. Aren\'t you being a little too unkind?"

Teacher Cui was horrified!

The group of parents burst into laughter!

"Pfft!"

The class ended.

Teacher Cui angrily called Zhang Ye and Sisi to her office.

Teacher Cui criticized, "Professor Zhang, how could you do that? You cannot be so protective of children. You were also a professor at Peking University\'s Chinese and Math Departments, as well as an honorary associate professor at Media College. The language textbooks also have your essays in them. In the field of academia, you\'re my senior. You\'re also involved in education work, so…so how could you have low awareness of things?"

Zhang Ye hurriedly accepted the criticism. "Teacher Cui, I\'ll change my ways."

Teacher Cui did not know whether to laugh or cry. "In the past, it was always your wife who came for the parent-teacher meetings. In terms of educating the children, you really have to learn how from Minister Wu."

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I will learn from her. It\'s only because I\'m a first-time father who hasn\'t spent much time with his child that I am so inexperienced. If there\'s anything that I did wrong, please criticize me further. In the future, if my child makes any mistakes, please guide her well." Then he patted his daughter on the head and said, "Sisi, Daddy is going away for work today. From now on, you must listen to Teacher Cui\'s words, understand?"

Sisi made a noise in acknowledgement.

Seeing this attitude from Zhang Ye, Teacher Cui felt more at ease. Then, she looked at Zhang Ye and suddenly asked, "Are you really going to shoot an anti-corruption drama?"

Zhang Ye smiled. "Yes, we begin shooting today."

Teacher Cui said worriedly, "This is your first time directing a TV drama, right?"

Zhang Ye said, "Yeah, it\'s my first time."

In the office space, several other teachers stood up.

A male teacher smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, you can do it!"

A middle-aged female teacher said, "We\'re all waiting to watch it."

Zhang Ye cheerfully waved his hand about. "Alright, please give me your support when the time comes, everyone."

"Definitely."

"That\'s a must!"

The teachers all nodded in response.

But of course, this was only them being courteous.

In fact, none of them were actually optimistic about it.
