Chapter 774: Chapter 569: I Really Don’t Want to See Him, But I Have To

On the evening of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, a bright and clear moon hung high in the sky, quietly illuminating the night sky of the Linting Garden neighborhood like a silver plate.

Despite the bitter cold wind outside, making it feel piercingly cold, the bedroom in the side house of the Huang family was warm as spring. The air conditioner gently blew waves of warm air, filling the entire room with a cozy warmth.

Huang Jun sat comfortably at the edge of the bed, leaning against a fluffy and soft pillow, with his legs slightly bent.

Qingqing and Weiwei, who had just finished their baths, emitted a refreshing scent of body wash. They snuggled up to Huang Jun like little kittens, gripping his arms tightly with their small hands, leaning forward so much that they were almost touching his face, urging in their childish voices, "Daddy, come tell us a bedtime story quickly, we can’t wait any longer!"

With a loving smile on his face, Huang Jun gently patted Qingqing and Weiwei’s little hands and said tenderly, "Alright, alright, my little princesses. But wouldn’t you prefer to lie down first? It would be more comfortable to listen to the story that way."

Weiwei immediately shook her head, hugging Huang Jun’s arm even tighter, and said coquettishly, "No, no, I want to listen to the story in Daddy’s arms, it feels safer that way."

Qingqing also looked up at Huang Jun. Although she didn’t speak, her bright eyes were filled with the same longing and dependence.

Seeing his two precious daughters so cute and persistent, Huang Jun smiled helplessly and eventually nodded, agreeing, "Alright, alright, then sit properly. Daddy will tell you the most enchanting story."

With that, Huang Jun picked up a vividly illustrated picture book. The cover depicted a crocodile with a complex expression and a slightly nervous dentist holding a syringe. The title boldly read, "The Crocodile Fears, The Dentist Fears."

"On a sunny morning, when Mr. Crocodile slowly opened his eyes, a sharp toothache pierced through his consciousness. It turned out that one of its teeth had unfortunately been attacked by a cavity, causing it unbearable pain, rolling around in agony."

As Huang Jun animatedly narrated this part of the story, he exaggeratedly mimicked the crocodile’s contorted face from the pain, his expressions full of drama and actions very vivid, making the two little ones giggle uncontrollably, their laughter echoing in the air.

"Mr. Crocodile knew he had to see the dentist."

Huang Jun gently turned the book’s pages, revealing a new image: the crocodile was covering its mouth with its hand, standing nervously at the dentist’s office door, hesitating to take the first step.

Qingqing blinked her curious big eyes at the crocodile in the image, thought for a moment, and then asked in her childish voice, "Daddy, is the crocodile standing at the door because it’s afraid of the dentist and doesn’t dare to go in?"

Upon hearing this, Weiwei also showed a puzzled expression. She tilted her little head and asked, "But the crocodile is so big and strong, how can it be afraid of the dentist too?"

Huang Jun smiled, looking gently at his two precious daughters’ faces, and patiently explained, "Even though the crocodile has great strength, when it thinks about how the dentist might use tools that seem a bit scary, like drills and pliers, to treat its teeth, it also feels fearful and uneasy. After all, anyone, when faced with the unknown or a potentially painful experience, will inevitably have some fear and apprehension...

Yes indeed...

The drill and pliers really do look quite scary...

At this point.

Weiwei and Qingqing could deeply empathize with the crocodile’s fear and anxiety, involuntarily clenching their small hands, their eyes revealing sympathy and understanding of the crocodile’s situation.

"Mr. Crocodile kept muttering to himself, ’I really don’t want to see him, but I have to...’

Huang Jun continued to narrate vividly: "And in the dentist’s office, there’s a dentist with a little mustache, slightly thinning on top but still retaining a thick circle of hair at the back of his head, meticulously checking various dental tools."

Just at this time...

Weiwei excitedly pointed her little hand at the clearly depicted dentist in the picture book, her eyes shining with the thrill of discovering a new continent, and exclaimed, "Daddy, look at this dentist uncle, he looks just like Uncle Xin from the Education Bureau. It’s like... like they were made from the same mold!"

Hearing Weiwei’s words, Qingqing also curiously leaned in to take a closer look, after which she nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, indeed very much alike, especially the hair..."

"Haha, really?"

Huang Jun laughed and looked at the picture book again, after carefully comparing, he also couldn’t help but feel that there was indeed an indescribable resemblance between the two.

You have to admit, the little ones have quite outstanding observation and association skills.

In the future, they will certainly excel in writing essays!

"Haha, it really does look a bit like him! Especially that unique hairstyle, it’s quite memorable! But, Qingqing, Weiwei, we must remember, when we meet Uncle Xin in person, we shouldn’t say it so directly, be more subtle, after all, everyone cares about their image..." Huang Jun reminded with a smile.

"Why?"

Qingqing and Weiwei both tilted their little heads, full of confusion, and asked.

Huang Jun patiently explained, "Because, although we think that comparison is interesting, Uncle Xin might mind. After all, everyone has their own sense of dignity and preferences, and we should learn to respect others’ feelings, right? So, before speaking in the future, think it through so you don’t inadvertently touch on someone else’s sensitive spot and hurt their feelings."
