The Beautiful Teaching Assistant Gave Me Three Children, Shocking the Entire School
Chapter 271: Messenger Pigeon

Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Messenger Pigeon

At this point,

Xiao Fei had lost interest in continuing his deductions.

The most critical culprit had been identified; as for the remaining side quests...

Figuring out everyone’s identities and secrets, or locating the Jiuxuan Stone, no longer felt important—those could be left to others.

The script might be fascinating for them, but Xiao Fei simply couldn’t muster up the enthusiasm.

He went back to sit beside Tang Yuxin.

"Hubby, you were so cool just now!"

Tang Yuxin leaned in close to Xiao Fei’s ear and whispered softly.

Just then, the shopkeeper suddenly walked in.

"Boss Qi, you have a pigeon message!"

Pigeon message?

Oh, it’s just a phone call.

Xiao Fei apologized briefly, stood up, and went outside the room with Tang Yuxin.

Taking the phone from the shopkeeper’s hand, Xiao Fei saw that the missed call came from his father, Xiao Jun.

He immediately called back.

As soon as the call connected, Xiao Fei said, "Dad, what’s up?"

[Why didn’t you answer when I called earlier?]

Xiao Jun questioned him directly, without any pleasantries.

"Yuxin and I were playing a game, and my phone had been taken away..."

Xiao Fei gave a rough explanation, after which Xiao Jun didn’t press further.

[Here’s the thing—those three little ones have been fussing about wanting to talk to their mom and dad. We couldn’t handle it anymore, so we had to call you.]

So that’s what it was—the kids missed their mom and dad.

"Dad, hang on a sec. I’ll start a video call for you."

After ending the call, Xiao Fei quickly initiated a video call on WeChat for Xiao Jun.

As soon as the video connected, the first thing that appeared wasn’t Xiao Jun, but the three adorable little ones crowding the screen.

The kids were trying their best to squeeze into the center of the screen, fearing they might not get to be seen by their mom and dad.

[Daddy... Mommy... Where are you?]

[Wow! Daddy looks so handsome! Mommy is so pretty!]

As soon as they saw Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin, the kids cheered, chattering nonstop until it was impossible to clearly understand what any of them were saying.

Tang Yuxin stood next to Xiao Fei and waved at the screen. "Da Bao, Er Bao, San Bao, were you good kids at home today?"

[Yes~]

The children answered in unison.

After that, San Bao, with a pitiful look, said,

[Daddy, Mommy, when are you coming back...? I miss you...]

As San Bao spoke, tears started to fall.

Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin exchanged a glance, suddenly feeling as if they had done something utterly unforgivable.

Leaving the kids with their grandparents while they went off to have fun on their own—didn’t this seem a bit wrong?

"Hubby, how about... we go back?"

Tang Yuxin hesitated.

The culprit had already been identified, and the remaining plot consisted of side quests. Even if they left, other staff members could take over their roles.

"Would that be too much of a compromise for you?"

"I wouldn’t feel compromised."

Tang Yuxin shook her head.

"After all, I’m already a mom. I can’t just think about myself—I have to put the kids first most of the time."

As she said this, a hint of disappointment flickered in Tang Yuxin’s eyes, but it was outweighed by the radiance of maternal love.

This girl—she had truly given up so much in her effort to be a good mother.

Xiao Fei’s heart ached terribly.

He silently vowed that once the kids were older and wouldn’t start crying whenever he and Yuxin were out of sight for half a day, he would properly make it up to his wife.

Strictly speaking, he and Tang Yuxin hadn’t even had a typical dating phase like most couples before getting married.

In front of the kids, Xiao Fei pulled Tang Yuxin into a hug and planted a kiss on her. Then, turning to the screen, he said,

"Mommy and Daddy will come back soon. Be good for just a little longer, okay?"

[Okay!!]

Hearing that their mom and dad were coming home, the kids immediately beamed with joy. San Bao, in particular, started smiling even as tears continued to roll down their cheeks.

Still crying, San Bao kept apologizing.

[Daddy... Mommy... I’m sorry...]

"What do you have to apologize for, San Bao?"

[Because... because Grandma said... Daddy and Mommy are busy... but... but I missed you so much... I missed you so much...]

[Waaah... wahhhh!!]

[Daddy, Mommy, next time you go out, can you take me with you? I’ll be really good... I won’t make a fuss... I’ll just sit quietly by your side and not say a word...]

Tang Yuxin’s eyes immediately turned red.

What a girl...

San Bao stammered and sobbed, which then made Da Bao and Er Bao cry as well...

"Hubby, I can’t take it anymore. I want to go back and hold the kids right now."

Xiao Fei’s own eyes were also feeling a bit uncomfortable.

He nodded.

"I’ll go talk to the shopkeeper in a moment."

"From now on, no matter what we do, the whole family will stick together."

"Yes! The whole family together!"

Tang Yuxin threw herself into Xiao Fei’s embrace.

When the phone was handed back to Xiao Jun, Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin realized that his eyes were red as well.

[You have no idea...]

Xiao Jun let out a sigh.

[Just now at dinner, those three kids wouldn’t eat at all. Each of them carried a little stool to the living room door and kept staring outside.]

[We tried calling them back for dinner, but the little ones all said they wanted to wait for their mom and dad to come back and eat together...]

[It... it really made our hearts feel heavy.]

As he spoke, Xiao Jun himself started wiping away tears.

"It’s my fault, Dad. I shouldn’t have left the kids with you."

"No, no, no, it’s not Xiao Fei’s fault. Dad, it was my idea to go out with Xiao Fei,"

Tang Yuxin quickly explained when she saw Xiao Fei apologizing.

[Alright, alright. It wasn’t your fault. Weren’t we the ones who suggested you two go out alone in the first place? Anyway, since you’ve decided to come back, that’s good. Drive carefully, and I’ll hang up now.]

Xiao Jun didn’t wait for Xiao Fei to say anything more before ending the call.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Fei steadied his emotions and gently wiped away Tang Yuxin’s tears at the corners of her eyes.

He turned around and noticed the shopkeeper standing not far away.

Xiao Fei walked over.

"I’m sorry, Shopkeeper, we’re..."

"I understand."

The shopkeeper nodded.

"Although it wasn’t intentional, I happened to overhear some of Boss Qi and Miss Xiao’s call just now..."

"I don’t have a girlfriend yet, let alone kids, but I know being parents isn’t easy."

"Rest assured, we’ll arrange for NPCs to take over your characters."

"Thank you."

Xiao Fei nodded.

Then, under the shopkeeper’s guidance, he and Tang Yuxin changed back into their clothes, collected their personal belongings, and drove toward home.

Because they were eager to see their kids, Xiao Fei drove quickly.

On the way, both of them felt heavy-hearted and didn’t say a word.
