In order to let Li Tian see him clearly, Li Yuanchao held his daughter normally in his arms.

Li Tian carefully examined the black charcoal head in front of her.

If he hadn't spoken, you really wouldn't have recognized him based on his big white teeth alone.

"You went to dig coal?"

Thankfully it's not winter, this little cotton-padded jacket is too drafty.

Li Yuanchao snorted coldly.

"I haven't even told you how you turned into a little monkey yet."

Liu Ping, suppressing a laugh, turned away to go find Fang Yuan.

Li Tian leaned closer, grinning mischievously as she rubbed her face against Li Yuanchao's...

She's a little monkey, so he must be a big monkey.

Nobody should complain about anyone else!

Li Yuanchao laughed and tried to dodge backward, almost bumping into the person behind him.

"Comrade, we can't stay here any longer."

Although the father and daughter were quite amusing, I couldn't bear to disturb their father-daughter reunion.

However, due to their duty to maintain order during the performance, the staff had to clear the area.

"Excuse me, we'll be leaving now."

After Li Yuanchao finished speaking, he picked up Li Tian and walked out.

"Wasn't a seat assigned to you?"

Li Tian actually wanted to stay and watch the performance, since she had been waiting in the backstage area the whole time and hadn't been in the mood to enjoy it properly.

"No, we just got back to our camp early this morning. I happened to run into Chen Hao and that's when I heard you were going to perform on stage today."

"Otherwise, how would I have time to come to the show?"

"Did you hear me sing?"

Li Yuanchao nodded with a smile.

"I heard it, it sounds so nice."

He couldn't explain it himself. His memory was filled with scenes of Li Tian making him so angry that he wanted to hit her, but upon hearing about the child, he immediately came here.

I stood there like an idiot and listened to my daughter's song.

He foolishly ran offstage again, wanting to be the first to greet her.

When are you coming home?

Li Yuanchao thought for a moment.

"There are still many things to do in the team, so I can't go home to see my family until after the National Day holiday."

"Fine, anyway, the family doesn't depend on you for anything."

Li Yuanchao laughed heartily, but then felt a pang of sadness.

"The day before yesterday, my grandparents took me to formally become an apprentice, but our car was vandalized and we almost had an accident."

A car accident is no small matter.

"Are you injured?"

Li Yuanchao subconsciously started touching Li Tian's arm.

"We're lucky; we noticed something was wrong before we even got on the bus."

Li Yuanchao hugged his daughter tightly and pressed his head against hers.

He just got back and doesn't know about this yet.

But I dare not think too much about it.

Li Yuanchao bit his tongue to hold back the tears that were already welling up in his eyes.

No matter who it is, no one dares to harm his entire family.

Wait to die!

Li Tian could understand Li Yuanchao's fear of losing them.

But I can't accept the strength of that hug.

Because it hurts!

"Don't get excited, don't get excited. I'm your daughter. Use your strength against bad guys."

Li Yuanchao quickly released the force from his arm.

Did I hurt you?

Li Tian grinned and nodded.

"Dad didn't mean it. I'll be more careful next time."

"Then why don't you go back? Leave me with your teacher or your grandfather."

Li Yuanchao remained silent.

They stopped at a flower bed and placed Li Tian beside it.

Li Yuanchao took out a handkerchief, poured some water from his water bottle, and used the damp handkerchief to wipe Li Tian's face.

They wiped it very carefully, leaving no corner untouched.

That's all he can do right now.

"You're much better now. Remember to have Aunt Zhang wash you with warm water again."

Li Tian snatched the handkerchief and began wiping Li Yuanchao's face.

"What if you go back with a flushed face and people say you have bad manners?"

Li Yuanchao sat on the ground, both amused and exasperated, and let Li Tian wipe his face with a look of enjoyment.

"Dad, someone is taking pictures of us again."

Li Yuanchao opened his eyes and turned to look to the side.

"Hello, comrade, I'm a reporter from the military newspaper. The way you two get along is so heartwarming that I couldn't help but take a few pictures."

"After you finish shooting this roll, please give me the negatives. Thank you."

The reporter nodded, but was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

"If the photos turn out well, can I have them published in the newspaper?"

"Comrade, this needs the leader's approval, it's not up to me to decide."

The reporter glanced at Li Yuanchao and quickly nodded.

"Could you please leave your military unit number so I can send you the negatives?"

Li Yuanchao took the paper and pen handed to him by the reporter and left his contact information.

"My daughter and I haven't seen each other for almost a month."

"Excuse me, excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you."

The reporter put away his notebook, apologized, and turned to leave.

Li Yuanchao pulled out a folded awning boat from his pocket.

"There's a soldier in our team who's really good with his hands, but unfortunately all I've learned is how to fold small boats."

To be honest, it's a bit ugly.

But Li Tian still accepted it.

"Do you want to go to your teacher's or your grandfather's?"

"Let's go to the teacher."

Such a formal event must be quite boring to be around a bunch of old men.

"Okay, I'll take you backstage."

Li Yuanchao lifted Li Tian up with a little effort.

"The principal, Teacher Liu, and our teacher Song are all very kind to me."

"Yeah, you're definitely more well-behaved in front of strangers than in front of me."

Li Tian suppressed a laugh and asked in return.

"Am I not good to you?"

"Okay, that's good."

Li Yuanchao could only agree against his will.

"That's right. People should have a conscience and remember the good things others have done for them."

Li Yuanchao couldn't help but smile.

"You've got a whole set of reasons for talking like that."

Li Tian wore an expression that suggested she was making a fuss over nothing.

"My brother reads a lot of books and has even written quite a few song lyrics for me."

"What do you need the lyrics for? Do you want me to compose a melody for it?"

Li Tian reached out and pinched Li Yuanchao's ear.

"Are you looking down on me?"

Li Yuanchao pursed his lips.

"I wish you were a child prodigy."

"I've already performed on a big stage, isn't that enough to make you look good?"

Li Yuanchao laughed heartily.

"Yes, yes, you are your father's pride, enough for me to brag about to my comrades for a while."

The father and daughter chatted and laughed all the way, oblivious to everyone else around them.

Fang Yuan and Liu Ping were quickly found in the backstage area.

There's another dance performance at the kindergarten, and they're waiting to go on stage.

"I have other things to attend to, so I'll leave Li Tian in your care. Thank you for your help."

"We don't complain about the hardship; it's what we should do."

Fang Yuan smiled and took Li Tian's hand.

"Dad, Grandma's birthday is coming up, don't forget."

Li Yuanchao nodded vigorously.

"Listen to your teacher and don't run around."

"I've got it."

Li Tian waved her hand, saying that if she kept rambling on, it would be dark by then.

Li Yuanchao nodded to the teachers and turned to leave.

Liu Ping found a small stool for Li Tian and a nice corner for her, where she wouldn't get in the way or bump into anything.

Let her sit backstage and listen to the program.

Since we can't see the dance, we can only listen to it.

Aside from being a bit noisy, Li Tian quite likes this spot.

The sound effects are really... indescribable.

After another performance by the kindergarten was finished, Li Tian got into the car with the teachers.

With so many people, they were really afraid they wouldn't be able to keep an eye on the children.

Safety first.
