Ren Zhouyuan woke up with a start and looked out of the window. The sky was still dark, and the darkness outside the window looked like it was going to swallow the earth, which made him panic.

He looked at Anan, who was sleeping beside him, and saw that he was sleeping soundly with a satisfied look on his face. He smiled and kissed Anan's forehead, pulled up the quilt that Anan had kicked down, and then lay back down.

He closed his eyes, and the messy scenes in his dream came back to his mind.

The scenes in the dream were very messy. At times, he dreamed of his childhood when he was living in a welfare home and awkwardly rejected his classmates who wanted to go to his house to play. At other times, he dreamed of his pregnancy with An 'an and hid at home for several months, not daring to go out. At other times, he dreamed of his colleagues who looked down on him and did not understand him when he was in the archeological team.

With his mind in a mess, Ren Zhouyuan simply opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling in the dark.

His mind was unusually calm at this moment, so calm that he felt that he had never seen his past and current situation so clearly before.

His past, to be honest, was very bad.

He cared about his birth, and no matter what he did, he was afraid of offending people and being looked down upon, so he had been very careful and always acted by observing other people's reactions.

Words were the only thing he valued before he had Anan. When he was a child, words were his companions, and when he grew up, he relied on words to make a living. It seemed that only in front of words could he live like a normal person, a person of flesh and blood with his own thoughts.

But because of this stubbornness, he lost his head that night five years ago and changed his life from then on.

He didn't remember that man's name or what he did for a living. For so many years, the only thing he remembered about that man was his arrogant and annoying face.

He looked at Anan, who was getting closer and closer to his arms, and his heart softened. If it weren't for the absurdity of those years, he wouldn't have such a well-behaved and obedient son.

That man had ruined his future and changed the trajectory of his life, but by a freak combination of factors, he had given him what he wanted the most.

A home.

Ren Zhouyuan turned over and held Anan in his arms. He rubbed his chin on Anan's hair and closed his eyes again.

This time, those bad scenes didn't disturb him anymore. It was as if he was going to put the difficult days behind him. After living alone for so long, he would finally get the life he wanted.

The next day, Ren Zhouyuan got up early. He woke up Anan, who was still sleeping in bed with a red face, and helped him change into a handsome polo shirt and jeans. He carried him to the sink and put toothbrush into Anan's mouth................

It was already April, and schools of all sizes had already started. The kindergartens in the big cities were all full. Fortunately, Fan Wenfeng was there to help him find a private kindergarten nearby that was willing to accept transfer students.

Anan washed his face and was much more awake when he came out. He saw Ren Zhouyuan was busy in the kitchen. He thought for a while and walked in. As usual, he grabbed Ren Zhouyuan's clothes and followed him like a little shadow. He asked, "Dad, where are we going in the morning?"

Ren Zhouyuan fried the last egg and put it in the bread. He turned off the fire and put the pan in the sink. With one plate in each hand, he walked to the living room, dragging the little shadow behind him.

Anan consciously climbed onto the sofa and picked up a sandwich from one of the plates. He ate while looking at Ren Zhouyuan.

Ren Zhouyuan picked up another piece and said while eating, "We're going to the kindergarten to play later. There are a lot of children there. An 'an can play with the children there. There are also a lot of beautiful teachers who will teach you how to write and draw. After An' an learns, come back and teach Daddy, okay?"

When An 'an heard this, her expression suddenly changed. Her beautiful little face scrunched up. She didn't say yes or no and just silently nibbled on her bread.

Ren Zhouyuan knew that something bad had happened. He knew that Anan didn't like going to kindergarten. He didn't have many likes or dislikes about the kindergarten itself. He was just seriously dissatisfied about leaving his father.

He was touched that his son liked him so much, but at the same time, he was troubled.

He put the silent Anan on his lap. Ren Zhouyuan whispered to him, "Dad doesn't want to send Anan to kindergarten. But Dad has to work to make money. If Anan is left alone at home, Dad will worry about whether there will be bad guys. There will be no one to protect Anan. If Anan is taken away, Dad won't be able to see Anan anymore."

When An 'an heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. No matter how he looked at it, he looked aggrieved. He said in a childish voice with a sobbing tone, "Then can't Daddy work at home like before?"

Ren Zhouyuan's heart tightened, but he could only say, "Dad has to make a lot of money to send Anan to primary school and college. But if Dad works at home, you can't send Anan to school. Anan, do you want to be a bad boy who doesn't know anything?"

When Ren Zhouyuan and Anan lived outside, they had seen some children who were chased and beaten by their parents. At that time, Ren Zhouyuan told him that Anan should study hard and be a good boy, not a bad boy.

Anan remembered the name "bad boy". Every time Ren Zhouyuan mentioned it, he would think of the child who was chased and beaten.

Sure enough, Anan hesitated, but he quickly said, "Anan doesn't want to be a bad boy, but Dad can teach Anan to study. Anan doesn't want to go to primary school or college. I don't want to be a big boss. I want to stay at home and take care of Dad."

Ren Zhouyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Anan always said that he wanted to be a big boss and take care of Dad when he grew up, but now he voluntarily gave up being a big boss just because he didn't want to go to kindergarten.

He felt that he would give in before he could persuade Anan. So he made up his mind and said, "Anan, didn't you say that you want to listen to Dad?

Dad doesn't like disobedient children. "

This time, when An 'an heard this, she instantly quieted down.

But when Anan quieted down, Ren Zhouyuan felt suffocated.

He wanted to ignore Anan and let him know that he had to send him to kindergarten no matter what, but he was afraid that he would be sad.

Anan was different from other children. He had been running around with Ren Zhouyuan since he was a child, so he was very sensitive. Just like Ren Zhouyuan before, he was afraid that others would be unhappy, and he was also afraid that Ren Zhouyuan wouldn't want him.

The two of them sat in that position. Ren Zhouyuan looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost time to go out. Just as he was about to coax Anan, he suddenly felt a wet patch on his arm.

Ren Zhouyuan panicked and put down the sandwich in his hand. He wanted to turn Anan's face, but he kept avoiding him. Soon, Anan even used his feet to kick his calves, unwilling to show his face.

Anan had been crying silently and didn't make a sound. He had been suppressing the sadness in his heart. At this time, he was a little out of breath. He was sobbing and sobbing, as if he was a little out of breath.

Ren Zhouyuan panicked. He held Anan tightly in his arms and stroked his back to comfort him. "Anan, don't cry. Don't cry. Dad just wanted to scare Anan. I didn't mean it.

Anan is so obedient. Dad loves you so much. How can I not like you? "

Anan's cries became louder and louder. Ren Zhouyuan was relieved.

Anan had liked to hold back his tears for a long time. Before he knew it, he had cried so much that he almost went into shock.

Ren Zhouyuan felt that it would be difficult for him to be a strict father in his life. As long as his child cried, he couldn't do anything. As the saying goes, a loving mother will spoil the son. This sentence was also effective on him.

Ren Zhouyuan couldn't bear to see his child sad. He sighed and said, "Anan, be a good boy. If you don't like to go to kindergarten, we won't go. Dad will stay at home with Anan."

Anan grabbed Ren Zhouyuan's clothes with both hands and gradually calmed down. He buried himself in Ren Zhouyuan's arms and whispered, "Dad is a big bad guy."

"Yes, Dad is a big bad guy." He stroked Anan's head with his big hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"Come on, raise your head. Don't hold your breath."

Anan twisted his head again and then raised his head reluctantly.

That pretty little face was red from crying, and she looked a little embarrassed. However, Ren Zhouyuan had a bad heart and thought that she looked quite cute like this. Only now, when she was acting coquettishly and crying, An 'an looked like an ordinary child.

"Dad will take you to wash your face. We won't go to kindergarten. Dad will call the teacher later."

Ren Zhouyuan thought that it was not appropriate to send the child to kindergarten all of a sudden. In the future, he would slowly try to distance himself from the child and let him have more contact with the outside world. Only then could he discuss this matter with him.

He suddenly thought of Wei Qi, the education group that was said to be aimed at children of Anan's age. But when he thought of that man, he immediately erased this idea.

When Ren Zhouyuan was still thinking about how to proceed step by step, Anan suddenly said, "I'd better go to kindergarten."

"Huh?"

Ren Zhouyuan didn't hear clearly. After a while, he realized that Anan is going to kindergarten? He was a little surprised.

Ren Juan pursed his lips and nodded reluctantly.

Ren Zhouyuan was really shocked this time. Looking at Anan's pitiful crying face, Ren Zhouyuan wanted to tell him not to force himself, but for the sake of the child's independence, he swallowed his words back.

After a lot of effort, they finally successfully sent Anan out of the house. When they arrived at the kindergarten, it was already more than an hour later than the agreed time.

The teacher who received them was quite kind and didn't show any impatience because they were late.

Previously, it was Fan Wenfeng who took care of everything for him. Because he trusted Ren Juan, Ren Juan had never come here before. Therefore, this was his first time here.

Teacher Chen, who was in charge of Ren Juan's class, introduced them to the facilities in the kindergarten. Ren Zhouyuan felt that there were no problems, so he took the child to the kindergarten to register.

Anan followed Ren Zhouyuan all the time. Anan was quiet and didn't say a word. Ren Zhouyuan knew that he was still angry, but in Teacher Chen's eyes, this child was very obedient. Besides, mixed-race children were very popular and had a very beautiful face, so she wanted to get closer to the child.

"You're Ren Juan, right? Do you have a nickname?" Teacher Chen looked at Anan with a smile, then looked up at Ren Zhouyuan and asked.

Ren Zhouyuan wanted to let Anan be bolder, so he touched his head and said, "Tell the teacher yourself."

Anan habitually hid behind Ren Zhouyuan. He frowned, looked at his father, and then secretly looked at the teacher. He said timidly, "Call me Anan."

Ren Zhouyuan had the urge to facepalm. Previously, An 'an's performance could still be considered as obedient and well-behaved. But now, she was completely resistant to others.

Sure enough, Teacher Chen was stunned for a moment when she saw his reaction, but then she smiled and nodded. "Anan, right?

Anan, you can call me Teacher Chen. I'm your class teacher. "

Then she looked at Ren Zhouyuan. Ren Zhouyuan smiled at her awkwardly.

Teacher Chen tried to ease the atmosphere and said, "Anan and your father have a very good relationship. Nowadays, very few children are so close to their fathers."

As soon as she said this, she suddenly remembered that Anan's mother's information was not written in his file. She guessed something and quickly changed the topic.

After finishing all the paperwork for Anan, Ren Zhouyuan watched the child walk away with Teacher Chen. He was very sad to see him leave.

But after seeing Anan's behavior today, he began to reflect on his education.

Teacher Chen was right about one thing. Children nowadays were close to their mothers. She wasn't wrong about that either.

But in the rest of his life, Anan would probably only have one father who was both a father and a mother.
