Chapter 95   -Welp! This Is Awkward! (4)

Even her seat was taken in the blink of an eye. Yan Shuyu, standing to one side, looked at the little male lead who also didn’t have a spot to sit at. A few more seconds later, Yan Shuyu decided to give up on the battle, “I am pretty much done talking with Instructor Liu and should go back to work. You two take your time.

After she had said that, Yan Shuyu borrowed a page from her little buddy and was about to turn and walk away before they responded to her. Yet she only made it all two steps before a soft, little hand grabbed hold of her. Yan Shuyu turned around and saw the little male lead looked at her with his cute, big eyes. He greeted her, “Aunty Yan.”

“Oh hi, kiddo.” It has been a while and the little male lead was still as cute as she remembered him. However, she had made up her mind to walk away so she chose to resist the temptation. She patted him on his head and said dismissively, “Go get a seat. I will bring you some yummy food in a little bit.”

“I’m not hungry,” said Zhou Yi as he shook his head. He continued to look at Yan Shuyu without blinking. With a bit of shyness in his eyes, he said to her, “I have been practicing ‘Little Dancing Frog’.”

Yan Shuyu was a bit baffled. She wanted to respond with a “oh, that’s very nice” reflexively but when she noticed the little anxiousness hidden behind his emotionless face, she suddenly understood what he was trying to say. “Would you like me to listen to you performing the song?”

Zhou Yi bit his lower lips, as though he was having some hesitation, but finally nodded and asked softly, “Would that be okay?”This time, Yan Shuyu didn’t hesitate. She nodded immediately and said, “Of course. Here, follow me.”

As long as she didn’t have to stay anywhere close to the boss, she’d be happy to go anywhere else.

As such, Yan Shuyu walked over to the stage where the piano was located while holding the little male lead’s hand.

Ever since Yan Shuyu performed “Little Dancing Frog” at Sunshine House the very first time, children’s songs had been popular at their shop for a little while. The passion, naturally, died down over time and the shop had returned to its usual romantic atmosphere.

Yan Shuyu hasn’t played this song for a few days herself as well. She was merely sitting to one said and cheering the kiddo on, but as she was watching him, she started itching to perform it herself so she reached out and started duoing with the little male lead.

This was the scene that Zhang Yuanjia saw when he returned with anticipation with Instructor Lin after they had retrieved the cello – he saw his mother enjoying herself with another child on her lap and completely forgetting that she has a real son. At that moment, little kiddo Zhang Yuanbao was shocked beyond words. He felt that this was the biggest shock in his life – his mother had another kiddo behind his back!

Zhang Yuanbao called out uncontrollably, “Mom?!”

Like son like mother. Yan Shuyu’s reaction was even more dramatic than that of Zhang Yuanbao. She immediately ditched the little male lead and stood up. With a very guilty look, she said, “Yuanbao, I see you are back…”

Naturally, Yan Shuyu would not have noticed at this moment that her reaction to her son catching her red handed was exactly the same as when she suddenly noticed that the boss was standing in front of her.

Zhou Qinhe, on the other hand, did notice that. So just when the mother and son were staring at each other in shock, not only did Zhou Qinhe not have any compassion for Yan Shuyu, he chuckled out loudly, making the scene all the more awkward.
