Lyman drove his bright yellow sports car to Benjamin's school.
Since his family was part of the board of trustees of the school, the principal even personally welcomed him.
"Sir, it's a pleasure to see you. What can I do for you today?"
The principal was a slightly-fat middle-aged man with small eyes. He was wearing a pair of black framed glasses and suit, which made him look a tad ridiculous.
"I'm here for my nephew,"
Lyman answered. "His name is Benjamin Ji."
"Ah, yes."
It wasn't surprising that the principal knew Benjamin. "Then, I'll go and bring him to you," he said quickly.
"That won't be necessary,"
Lyman declined. "I'll go find him myself!"
"I see. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to call me."
"Thanks. You can carry on with your work."
After dismissing the principal, Lyman searched for Benjamin's classroom. But as soon as he reached the door, he bumped into a beautiful teacher.
"Hello, miss. Are you the teacher in charge of this class?" Lyman stared at her, bearing a charming smile.
The teacher blushed. "That's right! Who are you looking for?"
Raising an eyebrow, Lyman asked, "I'm looking for a kid. Miss, who do you think looks like me the most in your class?"
The teacher lowered her head and said in a sheepish voice, "I don't know.
Sir, can you please just tell me his name?"
"I..."
Lyman was just about to tease her when he was interrupted by an innocent but cold voice.
"Miss, I'm the one he's looking for."
The teacher glanced at the child and suddenly noticed the resemblances. "Ah, it's Benjamin!"
"Yep,"
Benjamin answered seriously. "Please excuse me for a moment."
"Go ahead."
The teacher nodded in agreement. Benjamin was a genius, and it wouldn't even be a problem if he skipped classes for an entire semester.
"Let's go."
Benjamin glanced at his unreliable uncle. "Uncle Lyman, you have so many girlfriends already. Please stop flirting with my teacher."
The female teacher smiled awkwardly before she started walking away.
"Why did you say that, Benjamin?"
Lyman sighed. "I just care about how you're doing in school, so I talked to your teacher about it."
Upon hearing this, Benjamin rolled his eyes and retorted, "Is that so? Then you can go ahead and talk to my teacher. I'm going back."
"Hang on!"
Lyman immediately grabbed his collar. "You are truly your father's son. You have the same personality!"
He took the little boy to a quiet corner in the school and they sat down together.
"Benjamin, I'm screwed because of you."
At this point, Lyman sounded more serious. "Tell me, what did you do in the film and television base yesterday?"
