Su Huaiming explained, "I was inside the house the whole time and didn't know what was happening outside. Sun Siyuan and the others didn't tell me either, so I accidentally forgot about you. It really wasn't intentional."
Looking into Su Huaiming's eyes, Yu Ruicheng saw five parts resentment, four parts grievance, and one part sadness. He lowered his gaze before awkwardly saying, "Su Huaiming, you have to remember me from now on, don't forget me again."
Upon hearing this, Su Huaiming repeatedly assured him, "Okay, I will never forget you."
Yu Ruicheng's expression softened somewhat, but then, as if suddenly remembering something, he gave a barely perceptible snort and abruptly added, "Even if you forget Sun Siyuan, you can't forget me!"
Su Huaiming:???
This atmosphere is weird!
[Sun Siyuan was also mentioned. Oh my, who's jealous? I won't say.]
[What's going on? Why is this pairing so appealing?]
[Yu Ruicheng really... does love him deeply. Su Huaiming, you should look back at him more often!]
[What kind of riddle is that upstairs talking about? Yu Ruicheng is right, everyone else is almost driven crazy, only Su Huaiming can handle it. It's understandable that Yu Ruicheng is trying to curry favor with him!]
There's an honest man upstairs.
[Don't mind us, we're all just modern-day otaku, we just want to otaku a little bit.]
******
After dinner, the children played energetically in the living room. Except for Su Huaiming, the adults were all too tired to go to bed. Zhou Hanyan's anti-fan campaign also couldn't continue.
After a full night's rest, they felt completely recharged, but looking at the bright sunlight outside, they felt dizzy and just wanted to stay in bed forever.
Another research topic for a child needs to be chosen. Their ideas are imaginative and deserve protection, but for adults, it's too much trouble.
Under the lifeless gazes of the crowd, the director gritted his teeth and repeated the procedure, this time with the yellow side facing up.
The director paused, his expression brightening with delight, and winked at the adults.
He immediately pressed the button, Ji Youyou's childish voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"I used to have so much fun going to the amusement park with my parents. I wonder if it would be even more fun going with a group of people?"
Upon hearing this, the adults were stunned for a few seconds, almost moved to tears.
[Thinking from Su Huaiming's perspective, Youyou truly radiates light.]
[The baby is so sweet]
[Another day of wanting a daughter]
Ji Youyou's eyes were clear and bright. She smiled broadly and asked, "Does everyone want to go?"
"Of course I'd like to." Ji Mingzhe stroked his daughter's soft hair, feeling extremely fortunate to have such a sweet and caring daughter.
The other three children were also very happy to hear that they were going to the amusement park. For the first time, they reached a consensus with the adults, and everyone set off together in a joyful atmosphere. They also unanimously agreed to extend the time for the experiment to a whole day.
Upon arriving at the amusement park, Fu Xiaoxiao ran off like a bird released from its cage, chattering excitedly. Fortunately, Su Huaiming had anticipated this and managed to grab her hat in time.
Sometimes he really doesn't know if he's raising a son or if he's just abandoned his child.
Most amusement park rides have age restrictions for children, and some exciting and fun rides are not suitable for them.
Ji Mingzhe thought for a moment, then took the children to the carousel first.
Zhou Hanyan stood to the side, her eyes shining with a peculiar light.
When he was little, his family was too busy, so we only took him to the amusement park once. He really wanted to ride the carousel, but we had to give it up because of time constraints.
Time flies, and by the time he wanted to play again, he was already too old, and the longer he waited, the less appropriate it became.
Today, we might be able to use the excuse of being kids to experience the carousel.
It's not that I particularly want to play, it's just to make up for a regret in my heart.
Just as Zhou Hanyan was about to speak, Jameel jumped up and raised her hand, "I don't need anyone to play with me, I want to play by myself!"
Fu Xiaoxiao also felt she was quite mature, so she crossed her arms and nodded pretentiously, "I also want to play by myself."
"Then let's go together."
"OK."
Ji Youyou is young and has short arms and legs, Ji Mingzhe was afraid she would fall and wanted to accompany her.
Yu Xuanxuan also needed someone to accompany her, but Yu Ruicheng wasn't interested. Just then, Su Huaiming said, "Why don't we let Zhou Hanyan accompany Xuanxuan?"
Upon hearing this, both Yu Ruicheng and Zhou Hanyan were delighted.
Yu Xuanxuan wasn't as clingy to her brother, so she readily nodded, walked over to Zhou Hanyan, and took his hand.
Zhou Hanyan finally got what he wanted and looked at Su Huaiming with a complicated expression.
He didn't say anything, so how did Su Huaiming know he actually wanted to ride the carousel?
Zhou Hanyan felt shocked, somewhat admiring of Su Huaiming, and a little grateful for his help. Her feelings were quite complicated, and she could no longer be a simple hater.
Zhou Hanyan took a few steps forward, lost in thought, before noticing Su Huaiming following behind him. Su Huaiming looked at him with confusion, "Xiao Xiao wants to sit with Jameel."
Su Huaiming nodded, his tone quite natural, "I know, so I plan to ride a wooden horse alone."
Su Huaiming has been bedridden with an illness since he can remember. For the sake of his health, he has only ever ridden Ferris wheels and carousels, which are quite unfamiliar to him.
Su Huaiming was given a second chance and wanted to try everything he had missed before. He didn't care about other people's opinions or views.
After all, he's already died once; what is there left for him to hold onto?
Under Zhou Hanyan's stunned gaze, Su Huaiming sat on the largest wooden horse, right next to Fu Xiaoxiao.
Seeing Su Huaiming's actions, no one was surprised; instead, they accepted it naturally and even looked at him with admiration.
Zhou Hanyan sat on the carousel, staring thoughtfully at Su Huaiming's back, feeling as if a seed had been planted somewhere in her heart and was sprouting.
After riding the carousel, everyone continued towards another amusement ride.
The production team was very thoughtful, making a cartoon map specifically for them and marking out the attractions that children could play on. The park was also very large, with various castles and recreated cartoon scenes, enough for children to enjoy.
Fu Xiaoxiao seemed to have inexhaustible energy, skipping and hopping all the way, chatting excitedly with Yu Xuanxuan and Jameel, making a big fuss about everything she saw, and her smile never disappeared.
After playing for two hours, Ji Youyou was so tired that Ji Mingzhe had to carry her. Su Huaiming saw that the three boys were not tired, but worried that they had used up too much energy, so he suggested that they find a place to rest and eat something.
Fu Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around, and a mischievous idea popped into her head, "Can I have ice cream?"
Seeing Fu Xiaoxiao so happy, Su Huaiming didn't want him to have any regrets, so he nodded, "Okay."
Fu Xiaoxiao and the others immediately jumped and cheered, circling around Su Huaiming.
Su Huaiming went to buy ice cream, while the others looked after the children.
There were already four families, plus the production crew, making a large group. The children were noisy and energetic, and everyone's attention was focused on them, so they didn't notice that one person was missing.
Zhou Hanyan saw his favorite movie scene, excitedly walked over, took a few pictures, and when he wanted to turn back, he found himself lost.
He walked around in circles according to his memory, until his heels ached, but he still hadn't returned to the original place. Moreover, the location was getting more and more remote, and the scene in front of him was completely unfamiliar.
Zhou Hanyan frowned, resignedly accepting the fact that he was lost. He tried to take out his phone to ask the production crew for help, but found that his phone had run out of battery and was turned off.
What are we going to do now?!
Zhou Hanyan was here for the first time and had no idea where to go. A buzzing sound filled her ears, and she completely panicked.
If he searches haphazardly, he might wander further and further away. Even if he borrows a phone, he won't remember the phone number and won't be able to contact the production team.
As Zhou Hanyan in a dilemma, he felt a chill on the back of his hand. He turned around and stared blankly at Su Huaiming, who was standing right in front of him.
Su Huaiming looked at him, puzzled. "What are you doing standing here?"
The pent-up anger in Zhou Hanyan's heart dissipated, and his worries and panic disappeared. Su Huaiming's presence gave him immense peace of mind, as well as a touch of emotion that he couldn't ignore.
Su Huaiming knew he was missing and came specifically to find him... Was it because he was worried about him?
In Zhou Hanyan's mind, Su Huaiming was extremely selfish and arrogant, using others as stepping stones to climb the ladder, which is why he bullied Xiao Kaicheng so wantonly. However, Su Huaiming's behavior in the past few days was completely different from his appearance on the talent show.
There must be something wrong with one of them.
Zhou Hanyan his mouth, some questions were about to be asked, but looking into Su Huaiming's eyes, he couldn't say them.
This was the third time Zhou Hanyan had spaced out in front of him. Su Huaiming sighed helplessly and waved his hand in front of him.
After Zhou Hanyan's eyes regained their light, Su Huaiming asked, "Did you come to see me?"
Zhou Hanyan pursed his lips and said with difficulty, "No."
What is that?
"I, I..." Looking into Su Huaiming's clear and innocent eyes, Zhou Hanyan couldn't lie and could only say, "I got lost."
"..."
Su Huaiming froze for a few seconds, his expression turning quite bewildered, as if he were doubting something. He couldn't help but look around, "You... you're lost?!"
Zhou Hanyan nodded and said solemnly, "Thank you for coming to see me."
Su Huaiming hesitated for a few seconds, swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue, placed the previously ignored ice cream cone in front of Zhou Hanyan, and asked, "Do you want some?"
Looking at the ice cream cone in front of him, Zhou Hanyan inexplicably felt that Su Huaiming was comforting him. Not wanting to disappoint Su Huaiming's kindness, he accepted the ice cream cone.
The two sat on a wooden chair nearby, watching the crowds come and go, and silently finished their ice cream cones.
Zhou Hanyan had been trying to think of something to talk about with Su Huaiming, but he hadn't come up with anything yet. Just then, he saw Su Huaiming wipe his hands with a tissue, stand up, and look at him. "Let's go."
Zhou Hanyan was stunned for a moment, and followed after him without understanding why. He saw Su Huaiming standing in front of the ice cream shop again, ordering eight ice cream cones in one go.
Zhou Hanyan for a moment, then asked, "Do Brother Ji and the others want some too?"
Su Huaiming shook his head. "Brother Ji doesn't eat."
Zhou Hanyan asked, puzzled, "Then why buy eight?"
Su Huaiming turned to look at him, "His expression was even more confused than his. There were nine people in total. If you subtract Ji Mingzhe, wouldn't that leave eight people?"
"But we've already eaten," Zhou Hanyan said.
"What does it matter?" Su Huaiming shrugged as he paid. "I want two ice creams, but if I do it in front of Xiao Xiao, he'll definitely ask for another one too. If I eat them secretly, he won't notice."
Is this really a good idea?
A thought flashed through Zhou Hanyan's mind, and he asked with difficulty, "So you came to buy ice cream on your own initiative so you could sneak a bite?"
"How can this be considered stealing food?" Su Huaiming's expression was quite innocent. "I was originally going to eat two ice creams."
Zhou Hanyan was taken aback by Su Huaiming's confident assertiveness. His lips twitched, and his tone turned strange. "So, Xiao Xiao should thank you for your understanding?"
