Chapter 9 – 9: Scouting the Candidate

“Grandpas and Grandmas!”

Tuan Tuan suddenly shouted loudly, quieting down the scene.

“Are you trying to find me a mommy?”

“Yes, don’t you want your dad to find you another mommy?”

“Of course, I do!”

Tuan Tuan clapped his little hands, “But I like them pretty, and also nice to me! At least like Teacher Tong Ya!”

The old men and women were amused and laughed, not expecting Tuan Tuan to be so picky.

“Oh my, this teacher is like a fairy, it’s not easy to find someone as beautiful as her!”

“Kid, you want your dad to be a bachelor for life!”

“The child has quite the opinion! Then you’d better help your dad look carefully!”

Who knew that Tuan Tuan pouted slightly with an air of arrogance.

“Do I even need to look? I just like Teacher Tong Ya, and I doubt there’s anyone prettier than her, so I say it should be her!”

With that, everyone’s gaze was drawn to Tong Ya.

Even one of the old women moved closer, “This girl is so beautiful, there must be plenty of suitors. Maybe she already has someone!”

Tuan Tuan immediately seized the opportunity, “Teacher Tong Ya, do you really already have someone?”

Tong Ya’s face flushed red in an instant, and she subconsciously glanced in Chen Yu’s direction, slightly raising her tone.

“I’ve never been in love before.”

“Then do you have someone you like?” Tuan Tuan continued to pry.

“No!” Tong Ya said almost reflexively, but in that moment, her gaze was fixed on Chen Yu.

Tuan Tuan clapped his little hands excitedly, “Dad, did you hear that? Teacher Tong Ya is still single!”

Chen Yu merely bowed his head and continued with his work, completely ignoring Tuan Tuan. In his eyes, this little girl was just following the elderly crowd, making a fuss over nothing.

Immediately, Tuan Tuan felt a sense of disappointed frustration.

The old men and women were all laughing heartily.

“Young man, did you see that? Your daughter is taking your matters to heart and even plans to introduce this beautiful teacher to you!”

Chen Yu replied with a polite smile and continued making fried cakes, treating it as just a joke.

Tong Ya, however, felt flustered by these jokes and pretended to look down at her phone to hide her bashfulness.

As soon as she unlocked her phone, she saw a message from Tang Xiaowei.

“Have you seen him yet? Quickly take a photo and send it over, I want to see who has hooked you so soullessly.”

Tong Ya subconsciously glanced at Chen Yu.

“He’s busy, how can I take a photo?”

“Aiyah, Miss Tong has learned to guard her food,” Tang Xiaowei’s text carried a hint of jealousy.

“Talk nonsense again and see if I don’t tear up your mouth when I get back!”

“Just kidding, send me a selfie and your exact location! I’m not worried about your safety, I’m just afraid you’re harboring improper thoughts about that father and daughter!”

“Beat it!”

Nevertheless, Tong Ya still picked up her phone, ready to take a selfie.

“Teacher, are you going to take a selfie? Can I join you?” Tuan Tuan suddenly came over.

“Of course you can!”

Without refusal, she subconsciously hugged Tuan Tuan into her arms and struck a pose.

For some reason, holding Tuan Tuan, Tong Ya suddenly felt an impulse never to let go.
