Lou Yu Became a Stepfather? (Continued)

This is what Tao Qiu and Lou Yu taught their kids. If anyone questions their eye and hair color in the future, they can answer like this.

Elementary school students are easily fooled. After hearing what Third Cub said, he probably believed it and didn't ask any further questions.

Someone else asked, "Aren't you all children too? Don't you need to go to school?"

The Eldest Cub replied, "I might come later."

The child who asked the question didn't look much older than the kids. Hearing this, he smiled and said sweetly, "That's great! You three are all so pretty! I like you all so much! If you're going to school, come to our class! Our teacher, Ms. Huahua, is so nice!"

Although he knew that even if he came to school, the chances of being in the same class as this kid were slim, the emotionally intelligent Second Cub still nodded in agreement. "Okay, we can play together then."

Just as Second Cub finished speaking, the school bell rang.

Several students hurriedly ran back, waving goodbye to their friends and loudly reminding them, "Bye-bye, remember to come to our class!"

Okay! Bye-bye!

The kids didn't remind her that she forgot to say which class she was in; she just smiled enthusiastically and waved to them.

After the bell rang, all the students ran back to their classrooms.

The primary school section isn't very big; from the outside, you can see the whole thing at a glance.

After the kids' exploratory desires were satisfied, they had no lingering attachment to this place and were ready to move on to the next destination.

Just then, a voice familiar to Lou Yu rang out behind them.

"Captain Lou?" The newcomer seemed uncertain, his tone hesitant.

Lou Yu turned his head and met Bai Huan's surprised gaze.

Because it was the last class of the day, Bai Huan slept in and left home a little late.

As soon as he arrived at the school gate, he saw that familiar figure from behind, and he instinctively called out.

When the others turned around, it was indeed Lou Yu, but the white-haired man and three children beside him were completely unfamiliar to Bai Huan.

"Teacher Bai," Lou Yu greeted Bai Huan, then turned to Tao Qiu to explain, "A friend of mine, a teacher at this elementary school."

The three little ones ran up to Lou Yu, looked up at Bai Huan, their eyes sparkling, and looked very endearing.

Bai Huan eyesight. After noticing the long-haired man and the children's unusual hair and eye colors, she quickly discovered that the three children's appearances seemed to bear a great resemblance to the long-haired man and Lou Yu.

Bai Huan had known Lou Quan for over a decade and was also quite familiar with Lou Yu, but she had absolutely no recollection of having a relative in the Lou Family named the long-haired man.

They look alike, but they're not related, so what other relationship could they be?

Bai Huan, having reached this point, also asked, "Captain Lou, who are this gentleman and the three children?"

Before Lou Yu could answer, Second Cub raised his hand and blurted out, "Handsome uncle! Let me tell you! We are Lou Yu's dad's children, and our dad is Lou Yu's dad's husband!"

"Think you answered perfectly? "Second Cub proudly raised his chin.

But upon hearing these words, Bai Huan felt as if struck by lightning.

"Huh?" He couldn't process this massive amount of information for a moment.

Although Bai Huan didn't meet Lou Yu often, as a Lou Yu in the base, gossip about Lou Yu always spread the fastest, and Bai Huan could hear the people around her discussing him without deliberately inquiring.

In his memory, just two days ago, Lou Yu was still considered a perfect eligible bachelor by his colleagues.

How come he's already in a relationship and a father of three when we met today?

Bai Huan suspected that she wasn't actually awake yet, and that everything she was seeing and hearing was a dream.

His soul seemed to float out of his body, watching helplessly as he asked himself the question, "My biological child?"

Lou Yu smiled without saying a word, then took the hand of the long-haired man beside him, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Bai Huan was even more confused. If they were their biological children? Putting aside when Lou Yu had the child, both he and the long-haired man were men, and the three children all looked like them, so they must be their children.

The key question is, how can two men have a child?

Judging from the child's height, he's at least three years old. Lou Yu has been at the Yong'an Base for three years, and Bai Huan has never seen him pregnant, so it can only be...

Bai Huan looked at the man with long white hair.

As if seeing through his thoughts, the long-haired man not only didn't find his gaze offensive, but even smiled at him.

Bai Huan took a deep breath; it seemed he hadn't guessed wrong.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkwardly silent. Lou Yu took the initiative, saying, "My wife and child have settled here with me at the base. We'll inevitably have to visit each other in the future, so let's exchange names."

Seeing that Bai Huan was stunned, Tao Qiu took the initiative to extend her hand and said, "Hello, my name is Tao Qiu, the 'Qiu' in 'autumn'."

Bai Huan instinctively shook hands with him, her tone revealing a hint of naiveté, "Hello, my name is Bai Huan, the 'Huan' in 'illusion'."

As soon as Bai Huan finished speaking, the three kids couldn't wait to follow suit and introduced themselves.

"My name is Tao Mo, the 'Mo' in 'brush and ink'."

"My name is Tao Xue, like the snowflake."

"My name is Tao Yuan, like the 'Yuan' bird."

Bai Huan's smile was stiff, but his teacher's habit made him subconsciously bend down and say to the children in a soft voice, "Your names are so pretty, and you're all so cute."

The children's faces were beaming with smiles.

Eldest Cub: "Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Bai."

Second Cub: "Uncle's? The name sounds nice too."

Third Cub: "She's also very good-looking."

Looking at the lively and adorable children, Bai Huan's heart softened a bit, and the complicated relationship between them and Lou Yu didn't seem so unacceptable anymore.

Bai Huan straightened up, looked at Lou Yu, and her voice had returned to its usual calm. "I heard a few days ago that you were also in the team returning grain to the Yongkang Base. When did you return?"

Lou Yu said, "I came back last night. This trip was not only to deliver food, but also to bring Tao Qiu and the children back."

Bai Huan asked in surprise, "Are they from the Yongkang Base?"

Lou Yu neither confirmed nor denied it. When Bai Huan showed a surprised expression when they first met, Lou Yu guessed that he knew nothing about Tao Qiu's secrets.

Lou Quan told his trusted confidant, but not Bai Huan.

Lou Yu knew the reason, but he felt it was wrong to lie to Bai Huan, so he chose to remain silent on certain issues.

Bai Huan also realized something. Lou Yu's silence this time wasn't like his previous tacit agreement; it meant he couldn't answer.

Bai Huan wasn't the kind of person who was oblivious to social cues; knowing she shouldn't ask about this further, she changed the subject, "Is there something you've come to the school for?"

Lou Yu said, "Today I brought Tao Qiu and the children out to familiarize themselves with the surroundings and get to know the way."

"Of course," Bai Huan smiled faintly. "Then you guys continue, I'll go to school first, I have class later."

Lou Yu nodded, "Okay, goodbye."

The kids all shouted in unison, "Goodbye, Uncle Bai!"

Bai Huan's smile became more sincere, "Goodbye, children."

Once Bai Huan's figure disappeared from sight, Tao Qiu turned to Lou Yu and asked, "Is he a very important friend? Your attitude towards him seems a little different."

Tao Qiu wasn't jealous; she just found it strange.

To put it simply, Lou Yu was less candid with Bai Huan than he was with John, but he was also more serious with her than he was with ordinary friends.

Lou Yu said, "His relationship with Lou Quan is unusual; he came from the Central Base with Lou Quan."

Tao Qiu understood Lou Yu's unspoken meaning, guessing that there were some details that were inconvenient to discuss because of the children.

"I see? Ah." Since Tao Qiu understood, she didn't ask any further questions.

The group walked around the school for a while, then, finding it boring, got back into the car and set off again.

Lou Yu asked, "Where do you want to go next?"

This time it was Tao Qiu who answered, "Which direction is the planting area in? Let's go take a look."

That's where he'll be working in the future, after all.

The school was suggested by the kids, and this time it was Tao Qiu's turn. Besides, the kids all found it novel, so there was no reason for them to refuse.

Tao Qiu and the child both agreed, so Lou Yu, the tour guide and driver, naturally had nothing to say.

The base's road layout isn't perfect; the sidewalk and driveway are the same. There are quite a few pedestrians on the road during the day, so Lou Yu drives relatively slowly, which is convenient for the kids to explore.

The back window was half open, and the kids were peering out the window at the scenery on both sides of the road, their eyes darting around excitedly.

People on the roadside also saw the three children in the car, marveling at their unusual and beautiful appearance. Some of the more outgoing people even waved to them.

The three boys were all from the same village, especially the Second Cub. After realizing that those people meant no harm, he smiled and waved in response.

Passersby who saw it exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh my god, she's so cute! She looks like a porcelain doll!"

"Whose child is this? Oh? I've never seen them before."

"The driver's side window was closed, so I couldn't see who it was."

"This car looks familiar, doesn't it? It seems to be Lou Yu's?"

"Lou Yu superhuman??"

"Yes."

"Is that Lou Yu's car? It might not even be him driving it, right? His teammates use it all the time."

"The key issue isn't the car, but rather, whose child is that?"

"A white-haired kid? Probably a foreign child, maybe a relative or friend of Lou Yu?"

"Maybe."

Because they were far away, and their car had already passed by, the family was unaware that they had already sparked a discussion.
