"I think it's frost on the ground." Xiao Kong answered He Yijia's question with ease.
"Sure." He Yijia was pleasantly surprised. He picked up the menu on the table, pointed at a word and asked, "What's this word?"
"Vegetable."
"How do you pronounce this English word?"
“orangejuice。”
He Yijia was really surprised. Looking at the pride in Xiao Kong's eyes, he was a little dazed for a moment. He felt as if he was looking at Gu Hecheng.
He Yijia had to admit that he was a little jealous of Gu Hecheng. Xiao Kong's good genes were completely reflected. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a prodigy.
He Yijia was speechless. He could only turn to Shen Qianqian with a smile and said, "Xiao Kong is really amazing. It seems that the interview is not a problem."
"Right?" Shen Qianqian was also very proud. She was about to get up and move Xiao Kong's chair slightly in front of her. However, when she got up, she accidentally bumped into a waiter who was holding a glass of juice behind her.
The iced watermelon juice spilled all over Shen Qianqian. Shen Qianqian was shocked, but she quickly grabbed the glass.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The waiter was very nervous.
"Forget it, it's okay." Shen Qianqian waved her hand gently. Looking at her dirty clothes, she was a little worried and frowned.
"Qianqian, let me take you to wash up." He Yijia nervously held Shen Qianqian's hand, but he did not notice that Xiao Kong was looking at him with a sharp gaze.
"It's okay, I can go by myself." Shen Qianqian declined his kindness and hurried into the bathroom.
The fruit juice stains were not so easy to wash off. It was just a little lighter. Fortunately, the color of her clothes was darker. However, because it was washed with water, it was a little wet.
Shen Qianqian lowered her head as she walked out of the bathroom. She had just taken a step when a big hand pulled her back.
"Qianqian, why don't you put on my shirt?" He Yijia did not give Shen Qianqian a chance to refuse. He squatted down and helped her put on her clothes in front of everyone.
"Yijia, you really don't have to." Shen Qianqian blushed slightly and wanted to refuse.
Xiao Kong, who was standing at the side, was a little unhappy when he saw this scene. However, he was smart and did not want to embarrass Shen Qianqian in front of so many people, so he could only stand to the side and not say anything.
However, the way he looked at He Yijia suddenly became much colder, even more distant than when they first met.
Xiao Kong looked at He Yijia's nervous expression. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that Uncle Ho wanted to be his new father.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Kong kept feeling unhappy.
After they went back, Shen Qianqian finally couldn't help but pull him in front of her and ask, "Xiao Kong, what's wrong with you today? You don't seem very happy. Wasn't the atmosphere good when you were talking to Uncle Ho? Why didn't you say goodbye to him just now?"
Xiao Kong pouted unhappily and said, "Mom, let me ask you. Does Uncle Ho like you?"
"Uncle Ho, he …" Shen Qianqian was stunned. She didn't expect Xiao Kong's gaze to be so sharp and vicious. He was a little different from the uneasy and cute person she remembered.
"No, why would he?" Shen Qianqian lied to Xiao Kong.
Xiao Kong looked at Shen Qianqian silently and suddenly said, "If Uncle Ho is only an uncle, it's okay. Xiao Kong might like it, but he can't be a father."
"Why?" Xiao Kong's words made Shen Qianqian a little confused.
"No reason." After thinking for a moment, Xiao Kong suddenly smiled innocently and said, "I just feel that when I stand next to Mom, the cartoon image doesn't match."
Xiao Kong's understatement made Shen Qianqian laugh. He was still a child, his thoughts were too cute.
At night, while Xiao Kong was asleep, Shen Qianqian prepared everything for the interview the next day.
The next morning, when she was about to take a taxi with Xiao Kong, a red off-road vehicle stopped beside them.
He Yijia, who was wearing a handsome leather jacket, got out of the car and took Shen Qianqian's bag from her. "Let's go. I'll pick you up. It's convenient since I know the way."
Shen Qianqian thought for a while and agreed. She waved at Xiao Kong and said, "Xiao Kong, get in the car."
Xiao Kong glanced sharply at He Yijia behind Shen Qianqian, then lowered his head and walked to the car.
Xiao Kong walked to He Yijia and grabbed the handle of the car door. He Yijia reached out and was about to touch Xiao Kong's hair lovingly. However, Xiao Kong tilted his head and avoided it secretly.
Facing Xiao Kong's action, He Yijia withdrew his hand awkwardly.
When he saw Shen Qianqian turn around, he quickly smiled and pretended that nothing had happened. He got into the car and drove away.
The intense interview took place in a small lecture hall. Shen Qianqian and He Yijia waited on the chairs outside.
Shen Qianqian, who was nervous, couldn't sit still. She put the chain bag on her shoulder on the chair and sneaked to the back door of the lecture hall. She pushed open the door slightly.
Xiao Kong stood in front of the four interviewers seriously. There was no fear on his face. He even looked a little arrogant.
Shen Qianqian found that no matter what the interviewers asked, Xiao Kong could answer them calmly. His answers were natural and logical.
Shen Qianqian stuck her head inside and looked at the four interviewers. They exchanged glances from time to time and nodded with satisfaction. She couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Shen Qianqian closed the door and smiled proudly. He Yijia said, "That's great. Xiao Kong will definitely pass the interview. I didn't expect Xiao Kong to be so smart."
He Yijia looked at Shen Qianqian's proud face. She was talking about Xiao Kong's merits with delight. Her eyes were full of love, which made him feel a little disappointed.
After she finished talking, Shen Qianqian looked back and saw He Yijia's inexplicable sadness. She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Of course. It's all thanks to your help that things can go so smoothly."
"Really?" He Yijia looked up happily when he heard her affirmation.
"Of course it's true." Shen Qianqian deliberately avoided He Yijia's burning gaze. "This is only the second one. There will be two more in a while."
As they were talking, the door of the lecture hall opened. Shen Qianqian looked at the teachers expectantly. However, she found that their expressions were different from before. They looked slightly worried and serious.
Shen Qianqian's heart skipped a beat. She immediately went forward and asked anxiously, "Hello, teacher. Did something happen to Xiao Kong?"
A middle-aged female teacher who was walking in front looked at Shen Qianqian and finally decided to call her to the side.
In a quiet corner, the middle-aged female teacher hesitated and didn't know what to say. Shen Qianqian nervously clasped her hands together and asked anxiously, "Teacher, you called me here so solemnly. Is it because of the truth about Xiao Kong?"
"Yes." The female teacher hesitated for a while and nodded. "I'm a teacher in charge of children's mental health in the school. I found that although Xiao Kong has a high EQ and IQ, he seems to be more defensive and cold."
Shen Qianqian couldn't figure it out at all. When she peeked at Xiao Kong just now, wasn't he performing very well? Why did the evaluation suddenly change?
The middle-aged female teacher seemed to have seen through Shen Qianqian's doubts. She said to her, "After we finished the interview just now, we thought that Xiao Kong was very cute, so we chatted for a while."
"However, when we talked about his parents and where he studied in the past, Xiao Kong's eyes made me unconsciously shocked." The middle-aged female teacher pushed her glasses and recalled the scene at that time. "Although Xiao Kong skimmed over this topic lightly and the other teachers didn't notice it, his impression of me was too deep."
Hearing the middle-aged female teacher's words, Shen Qianqian felt very guilty. "It's probably because he lacks companionship."
The middle-aged female teacher's eyes suddenly lit up behind her glasses. She said to Shen Qianqian happily, "So you've already realized it. That's very good. That's right. Xiao Kong's cold and distant attitude is indeed related to his parents not being around when he was young. In the future, accompany Xiao Kong more and guide him."
Shen Qianqian nodded at the teacher gratefully. Then, she walked with the teacher to the lecture hall.
Shen Qianqian pulled Xiao Kong over. "Come, say goodbye to your teacher."
Xiao Kong waved his hand cooperatively. "Goodbye, teacher."
The middle-aged woman responded gently and left. Shen Qianqian looked at the innocent Xiao Kong in front of her. She felt sad and her eyes reddened unconsciously. She had to admit that she really didn't do a good job as a mother in the past few years.
Shen Qianqian's mind was in a mess. She slowly squatted down in front of Xiao Kong and looked at him with heartache for a long time.
Xiao Kong couldn't stand still anymore. He curiously shrank back and asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Shen Qianqian came back to her senses. She sniffled and turned her face away. "Nothing."
"Mom just thinks that Xiao Kong is very outstanding. Can you continue to be so in the future?" Shen Qianqian smiled seductively at Xiao Kong. That smile seemed to be able to light up the entire corridor in an instant. He Yijia's heart was lit up.
Shen Qianqian smiled and hugged Xiao Kong in her arms. He Yijia saw that Shen Qianqian had put all her attention on Xiao Kong. He suddenly had an idea.
"Xiao Kong, let's go. Uncle Ho will treat you to rainbow noodles at noon. There are two more restaurants in the afternoon. You have to work hard." He Yijia smiled and raised his arm to make a gesture of "All the best." However, Xiao Kong opposite him didn't respond.
Xiao Kong stood rooted to the ground and looked at He Jia with indifference. His eyes were filled with vigilance.
