Going to School (I)

Fu Pei was speechless. Which freaking mental hospital was this Xu Tingting from?

His eyes twitched, and his face contorted in anger. "I dare you to call me that again!"

His wrist bones were too tight due to his clenched fists that it made clattering sounds. Fu Pei licked his teeth and coldly sneered, "If you want to keep your tongue, don't let me hear that a second time."

Although he felt that Fu Ting was a fool to call him father… He could still listen to it reluctantly!

Any other girl, he would feel disgusted.

Fu Pei had double standards!

Xu Tingting, who received another big blow, could no longer stop the waterworks.

"Miss, don't cry, you're much fatter than Little Cutie. This dress is a bit tight on you. If you breathe heavily, it could tear!" The salesperson could not stand idle and thus reminded Xu Tingting that this pink dress was not suitable for just anyone. This dress was perfect for small girls like Fu Ting, not for her. Compared to Fu Ting, Xu Tingting looked very plump.

Xu Tingting was flabbergasted.

'You're fatter! Everything about you is fat!'

She turned around indignantly and heard a sharp tearing sound. The waist part of the dress was torn.

"Ah!"

Xu Tingting reddened in embarrassment. She covered her waist, quickly changed back to her clothes, compensated the shop, and swiftly fled the scene.

Her friend hurried out to comfort her.

Xie Tiao laughed until he hiccupped. "Brother Fu, you're too awesome. You don't have to fight anymore; you can kill thousands of troops with just your clever tongue! I have to learn from you."

Fu Ting looked at Fu Pei with a smile, and her eyes were bright.

Her father praised her! She was over the moon!

"What are you looking at?" Fu Pei pinched Fu Ting's face and felt that her face was quite soft. The expression he wore was as though he was disgusted. "How could you smile after being scolded by someone? Little Idiot!"

Fu Ting was speechless. Was that another nickname?!

...

After a few days, Fu Ting's residence certificate, ID card, and an admission letter to Hai City High School1 were sent to her. She could at last attend the same school as her father.

Fu Ting woke up early on Monday, her first school day. She happily put on a new dress, carried a small purse, and ran to the kitchen. She stayed in the kitchen for a long time as she prepared white porridge and fried pickles that could warm her stomach. This could make her full as well as minimize her spending.

"How can you be this happy about going to school?"

Fu Pei was sitting at the dinner table in silence. Little Fool deserved to be called Little Fool. How could she be so happy to go to school? He could not wait for the school to be bombed someday.

"Super happy!"

She could go to school with her teenage father, after all.

People would envy her.

Only Fu Ting could have this unique experience!

The most important thing was that she could stay with her father at all times; she could help him get rid of his bad habits as soon as possible!

She took the porridge gracefully and lifted her eyes to look at Fu Pei.

The teenager had just woken up. It was obvious his face looked extremely tired, but his face still looked alluring in the morning light.

The school uniform was not worn properly, and the tie was even slung aside. Under his Adam's Apple was his well-shaped collarbone that was fairly eye-catching. He was very lean that his clavicles could hold coins and they would not drop.

He did not sleep well last night thus red veins were visible on his eyes. Nonetheless, he looked attractive.

Fu Ting was in the mode for nagging. "Dad, did you stay up all night again? Didn't I tell you that staying up all night is bad for your health? You'll age faster, and you'll have problems with your kidneys..."

'What??' Fu Pei inwardly said to himself.

Damn this sh*t!

No one had cared for him like this for more than ten years! He wanted to throw a tantrum so she could shut up.

However, as soon as he lifted his eyes, he met the girl's moist eyes.

After a pause, Fu Pei nodded. "... Hmm."

After eating, Fu Pei ordered Fu Ting, "When we're in the school, you're not allowed to call me 'daddy'."

Although he felt flattered when Little Fool referred to him as her father, Little Fool would become clear-headed one day. He did not want Little Fool to think he was deliberately taking advantage of her when she was awake.

Fu Ting doe-like eyes seemed as though they held a fountain of spring water. "... That'd be very unfilial of me to not call you that."

Damn!

It was killing him!

He turned his eyes away and touched his ear stud in annoyance. "Whatever."

Afterward, Fu Pei and Fu Ting rode an old-school bicycle to Hai City High School.
