I heard the driver cursing behind me.

"How can parents not take good care of their children! Honestly!"

Shen Yao ignored the driver's emotional outburst and instead hugged the little boy in her arms, gently asking him if he was alright.

The little boy lowered his head, shook his head, and didn't dare to look at Shen Yao, as if he knew he had done something wrong.

Seeing his expression, Shen Yao couldn't help but chuckle. "Remember next time, when you cross the street, you should be with an adult, okay?"

At this point, Shen Yao realized something, looked around, and asked again, "Little friend, where are your parents? Why are you crossing the road alone?"

The little boy looked up and turned to look across the street.

Seemingly having seen something, he was so frightened that he quickly shrank back and hid behind her.

Shen Yao frowned nervously, her mind filled with scenes of child trafficking from TV dramas.

She held the little boy tightly in her hands and comforted him gently, "Don't be afraid, Auntie is here."

The little boy clung tightly to Shen Yao's clothes and said in a childish voice, "I'm afraid of Daddy!"

The moment he uttered the word "Dad," Shen Yao saw a familiar figure striding angrily toward her with incredibly long legs.

Seeing the familiar figure walking straight towards her and stopping right in front of her, Shen Yao finally couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Bo, is there something you need?"

Bo Yuxiu, carrying a shopping bag in one hand and with the other in his pocket, gestured with his smooth-lined chin toward Shen Yao's back, "I was about to ask you, Teacher Shen, when did my son become so familiar with you?"

Shen Yao's jaw nearly dropped in astonishment. She slowly turned her head to look at the handsome boy in front of her and asked incredulously, "Is he your son?"

Lao Liang is practically the know-it-all of Shenzhen Medical University.

He knows everything about the school: which teacher is dating, which teacher is pregnant, which teacher has been punished by their wife by kneeling on a keyboard, and so on.

Shen Yao remembered clearly that Lao Liang said Bo Yuxiu had countless suitors and was single and unmarried.

But what exactly is going on with this son who suddenly appeared?

Bo Yuxiu saw the confusion on Shen Yao's face clearly. He bent down slightly, and the corners of his handsome lips curved into a slight smile.

"Teacher Shen, we're even now. This is my secret, and I hope you won't tell a third person."

Shen Yao was taken aback. She had thought that the man would make excuses or cover it up, but she didn't expect him to admit it so frankly.

"It's time to go home, Chengxi."

Bo Yuxiu adopted a parental stance towards the boy behind Shen Yao.

The little boy let out a long "Oh," pouted his little mouth, walked out from behind Shen Yao, and obediently returned to Bo Yuxiu's side.

Bo Yuxiu gave the boy's short hair a good pat, then looked up at Shen Yao and smiled, "Say thank you to Teacher Shen!"

Bo Chengxi opened her large, dark eyes and smiled sweetly at Shen Yao, "Thank you, Teacher Shen!"

Shen Yao waved her hand, "Next time, please don't cross the street alone! It's too dangerous!"

"Crossing the road alone?" Bo Yuxiu pondered Shen Yao's words, his narrow phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.

Immediately afterwards, Bo Chengxi received a small punch on the head.

Bo Yuxiu warned with a dark face, "Will you dare to cross the street by yourself again?"

"Waaah, I won't do it again, Daddy, please don't hit me! It hurts! I just couldn't find you for a moment, that's why I ran away!" Bo Chengxi cried pitifully, clutching his head, while looking at Shen Yao with his big, watery eyes and whispering, "Teacher Shen, please save me!"
