Adults are really too complicated!
The camera behind was still clicking and snapping away as Yin Bai walked forward for a while. She heard the sound of high heels tapping the ground from behind.
Yin Bai, sensing something, lightly tapped her cane on the ground, paused, and turned to look behind her.
Indeed, as she turned around, she met the gaze of Zuo Jingyou. She was dressed in an elegant dress, her makeup exquisite, and she looked radiant. The female celebrity smiled at her and said, “Ms. Yin, what a coincidence.”
Zuo Jingyou quickened her pace and walked towards Yin Bai.
Yin Bai stood in place and continued walking after Zuo Jingyou approached. “It’s not a coincidence; we were both invited.”
Yin Bai turned her head and looked at Zuo Jingyou with curiosity. “How come even a busy person like you has time to attend a wedding?”
According to her friend, her mother had been working in film production for a long time and could only spare a few days each month to be with her. So, for most of this past year, Yin Bai had been taking care of the child at Baihe Villa.
Of course, she herself enjoyed the feeling of taking care of the child very much.
Zuo Jingyou slowed down her pace and walked alongside Yin Bai, lowering her gaze and smiling. “Miss Li has been quite helpful to me before, and she can be considered a good friend in my circle. When she’s getting married, of course, I have to come.”
This time, Yin Bai understood.
It’s estimated that Miss Li is a fan of Zuo Jingyou and had close connections with Zuo Jingyou’s studio. Through various interactions, they became more familiar with each other. Additionally, Miss Li also had some shares in a film and television company, making her somewhat part of the industry circle. Zuo Jingyou gave her some face, and that’s why she came.
Yin Bai understood and looked at Zuo Jingyou with a hint of sympathy. “You big celebrities also have various unavoidable circumstances.”
Zuo Jingyou pursed her lips and smiled gently, softly asking Yin Bai, “What about Ms. Yin? Did you also come because of Miss Li?”
Yin Bai, strolling leisurely with her cane, replied, “No, it’s not that. I came because I know her father.”
“Oh…” Zuo Jingyou nodded in understanding. “Business connections, I suppose.”

Zuo Jingyou gazed at Yin Bai and softly remarked, “Even you big bosses have various social obligations you can’t avoid.”
Yin Bai felt a bit teased and glanced at Zuo Jingyou with a faint smile. “The world of adults is quite complex, you know.”
Despite being an adult herself, her childlike remark might have seemed a bit amusing to others. However, Zuo Jingyou didn’t find her childish and instead nodded in agreement. “Yes, there are all sorts of troubles.”
Yin Bai sighed and gave Zuo Jingyou a look, inviting her. “Let’s go inside together.”
“Sure.”
Out of courtesy, Zuo Jingyou approached Yin Bai and asked, “Ms. Yin, do you mind if I walk arm in arm with you?”
Because of Yin Bai’s mobility issues and the fact that most people at such gatherings had partners, Zuo Jingyou assumed she wouldn’t want to walk alone with her cane. So, she took the initiative to offer her arm.
As their arms came together, a pleasant fragrance wafted over. Yin Bai turned her head and looked at the stunning beauty beside her, shaking her head slightly. “I don’t mind, but if you walk with me, your pace will slow down quite a bit.”
Zuo Jingyou smiled and supported her as they walked slowly. “It’s fine, the wedding hasn’t started yet; we have plenty of time.”
“Alright,” Yin Bai didn’t refuse her, and the two of them walked hand in hand, slowly making their way toward the entrance of the venue.
Although she had suffered a leg injury in a car accident during her childhood, Yin Bai was noticeably taller than the average woman. Standing side by side, even with Zuo Jingyou wearing a pair of five-centimeter high heels, she realized she was still a few centimeters shorter than Yin Bai.
Zuo Jingyou tilted her head slightly, looking at Yin Bai’s well-defined facial features, her fair skin that seemed almost chillingly pale, and those gray-blue eyes. She speculated that Yin Bai might be of mixed heritage.
After a moment of contemplation, Zuo Jingyou said to Yin Bai, “I finally understand why Tong Tong has been willing to drink milk lately and wants to grow up to be a tall and reliable person. It turns out it’s because of you, Ms. Yin.”
Yin Bai turned her head to look at her and asked earnestly, “Do you also think I’m tall?”
Zuo Jingyou nodded, “Yes, taller than the average woman.” She pursed her lips and smiled, “I thought my height was considered quite tall among female actresses in the entertainment industry, but it seems Ms. Yin is even taller.”

“Is Ms. Yin of mixed heritage?”
Yin Bai responded with enthusiasm, “My grandfather is from Eastern Europe, my father is of mixed heritage, and my mother is French… So I…”
Yin Bai paused for a moment and calculated quite seriously, “I should be three-quarters foreign!”
Zuo Jingyou chuckled, “So Ms. Yin’s proficiency in French is due to your family background? I thought you had learned it previously. Thank you for teaching the children during this time.”
Yin Bai smiled warmly, “You’re welcome. I’ve been enjoying spending time with them.”
She turned her head and asked Zuo Jingyou very seriously, “By the way, besides English and French, I also know Spanish, Latin, Italian, Greek, and Japanese… Do you think I can play with them while teaching?”
Zuo Jingyou was taken aback for a moment, not expecting Yin Bai to be so knowledgeable. She raised her hand, pressed her forehead, and said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, “Ms. Yin, you really… maybe you should go easy on the kids…”
“They are currently studying with a French teacher, with an additional lesson every day. Their learning workload is quite heavy.”
Zuo Jingyou had to remind her that the children’s childhood should still be primarily about play. After all, the two children were making a great effort to learn just to be able to communicate with Yin Bai.
Yin Bai withdrew her gaze and muttered, “Is that so? I thought they were quite free, they come to play with me every day!”
“At their age, children should indeed focus on learning more. When they grow older, learning becomes slower, and their minds become less agile!”
Yin Bai clearly had a different opinion: “You should understand that interest is the best teacher for children.”
Zuo Jingyou paused, deeply appreciating how her neighbor next door cared for the children. Seeing Yin Bai’s determination to encourage the kids to excel for the sake of their peers, she couldn’t help but sigh.
She paused and said to Yin Bai, “In that case, if it’s not too much trouble for you, then go ahead and play with them.”
At most, if the children wanted to learn, she could hire another foreign language teacher for them.
Having obtained the parents’ approval, the child-friendly Yin Bai tapped her cane and joyfully said, “That’s great, as long as you don’t mind.”

The two of them continued discussing the children’s matters, and as they talked, they arrived at the entrance of the venue. Together, they handed over their invitations and walked hand in hand into the venue.
The author has something to say:
Little Ms. Yin Bai is now addicted to teaching the kids!
Because teaching children is still very fulfilling!
(Their relationship now is a peculiar mix of her being a teacher-parent!)
