Su Huaiming accepted the praise without hesitation, saying, "Parents always have to endure some grievances."
Zhou Hanyan: "..." God the hell, you suffered a little injustice, but you still ate every single ice cream you wanted!
Zhou Hanyan had never seen a parent like this before, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a moment.
The two of them carried the bag that the shop assistant had given them, and with great difficulty, they managed to bring back eight ice creams.
With the recent high temperatures and long journey, Zhou Hanyan was worried that the ice cream would melt.
He was about to tell Su Huaiming this when his gaze suddenly caught sight of Ji Mingzhe and the others.
???
After he got lost, he walked for a long time and eventually returned to his original location. But why did he find Ji Mingzhe and the others after only taking a few steps?
Zhou Hanyan froze on the spot, looking around before realizing that he and the rest of the group were on opposite sides of the circular flower bed... The straight-line distance was very short, but he had gone in a huge circle and gotten lost!
Zhou Hanyan suddenly remembered the strange expression on Su Huaiming's face when he said he was lost.
A surge of heat rushed to Zhou Hanyan's head, eroding what little rationality he had left. His head throbbed and he felt so ashamed he didn't know what to do. He stared at the ground, wishing he could dig a hole and disappear, yet he couldn't help but look anxiously at Su Huaiming, worried that he would tell others what had just happened.
Su Huaiming acted as if he had completely forgotten about it and didn't mention it, but the viewers in the live stream didn't let him off the hook.
[Hilarious! They got lost even though it was only 200 meters away!]
[Zhou Hanyan a book teaching everyone how to get lost politely.]
[Show some respect, this isn't something an ordinary person can do! lol emoji]
I was laughing so hard even the neighbor's dog came over to ask if I was okay.
Before Su Huaiming even got close, the four little ones ran over excitedly, jumping up and down to snatch the ice cream from Su Huaiming hands.
Su Huaiming raised an eyebrow and said, "Line up properly before I give it to you."
Fu Xiaoxiao had clearly realized that tantrums and crying were useless; only by listening to Su Huaiming could he get what he wanted. He immediately straightened his little face, stood in front of Su Huaiming, and wiggled his bottom, trying to push Jameel away.
Yu Xuanxuan was very perceptive and immediately stood behind Fu Xiaoxiao. Jameel was stunned when he saw his two friends abandon him. After a few seconds of hesitation, he immediately went to compete with Fu Xiaoxiao and Yu Xuanxuan for a seat.
Ji Youyou stood to the side, watching the three boys fighting, and fearing she would get caught in the crossfire, she obediently stood at the back.
Fu Xiaoxiao stretched out his arms, his chubby body swaying back and forth, trying his best to hold onto the first position. But when he turned around and saw Ji Youyou standing obediently at the back, he blinked and immediately ran behind Ji Youyou.
Yu Xuanxuan and Jameel noticed his actions, and the two little boys ran after him. In the blink of an eye, Ji Youyou became the person at the very front.
Seeing this, Su Huaiming couldn't help but smile and walk over to Ji Youyou, handing her an ice cream.
Ji Youyou was surprised to be the first one. Holding the ice cream in her delicate white hands, she smiled sweetly and said politely, "Thank you, Brother Su."
Su Huaiming then distributed the ice cream to the remaining three children. Thinking about Fu Xiaoxiao's actions earlier, Su Huaiming felt a little itchy and ruffled Fu Xiaoxiao's hair a few times.
Fu Xiaoxiao's head swayed along with the ice cream, which accidentally got on the corner of his mouth. He looked up at Su Huaiming with dissatisfaction, muttered something under his breath, and then lowered his head to eat his ice cream again.
Su Huaiming then distributed the ice cream to the other three adults, while he himself held the last one, sat down next to Fu Xiaoxiao, and happily finished it.
After everyone had rested, the children urged them to continue playing other activities, but Fu Xiaoxiao and Yu Xuanxuan disagreed on the order in which they should play.
"Let's go to the Dinosaur House! The Dinosaur House is the most fun!"
"The Doll Ocean is Mingming more fun! My brother and I played with it before, and he thought it was a lot of fun too!"
I want to see dinosaurs!
"No, I want to go to the Doll Ocean!"
Fu Xiaoxiao and Yu Xuanxuan were like two calves, panting heavily, their foreheads touching, one with her hands on her hips and the other gritting her teeth and straining, neither willing to give an inch.
Yu Ruicheng was bad at mediating conflicts between children and was afraid of making things worse, so he could only stand by helplessly and look to Su Huaiming for help.
Seeing that the two children were very determined, Su Huaiming didn't want to upset them. "Let's split up. I'll take Xiao Xiao to the Dinosaur House, and you two can go play something else."
Ji Mingzhe hesitated for a moment, but this was the best solution. After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded. "Okay, let's agree on a meeting place."
Ji Mingzhe and Su Huaiming agreed to meet in an hour and took the children in different directions. Zhou Hanyan hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly blurted out, "I'll go with Su Huaiming and the others."
Zhou Hanyan had been sticking to Su Huaiming these past few days, and no one expected him to be a hater, so they immediately nodded.
Zhou Hanyan regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, but she was in a difficult situation and could only follow Su Huaiming with a stiff upper lip, her posture quite awkward.
Su Huaiming took Fu Xiaoxiao to the Dinosaur House.
The Dinosaur House has all kinds of dinosaur dolls and corresponding interactive activities. It is an entertainment project exclusively for children under 1.2 meters tall. Su Huaiming and Zhou Hanyan could only wait on the side.
Zhou Hanyan was in a state of great turmoil, afraid that Su Huaiming would notice, and kept her eyes fixed on the sky.
Su Huaiming's attention was focused on the map in his hand. It was his first time visiting such a large amusement park, and he was determined to have a great time.
Ji Mingzhe, the team leader, focused on which activities the children were interested in, directly excluding adult play facilities. Su Huaiming, however, did not want to compromise himself for the sake of the children.
There's still an hour until the agreed time, so he can play several games.
"Do you want to play this?" Su Huaiming pointed to the large amusement park ride next to them.
Zhou Hanyan snapped out of her daze, staring blankly in the direction Su Huaiming was pointing, her eyes immediately lighting up. "It looks pretty good, I want to try it."
Su Huaiming nodded, then pointed to the recreational facilities behind him and said, "What about this?"
Zhou Hanyan revealed a hint of childlike innocence, "I like it too."
"Okay, let's play these two first."
Zhou Hanyan thought to himself: He and Su Huaiming were surprisingly compatible; if only they weren't such haters...
Before Zhou Hanyan could think about it further, he suddenly realized something and turned to say, "What if Xiao Xiao doesn't want to?"
Su Huaiming, however, was not worried about this at all, and looked relaxed.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Hanyan immediately felt relieved. In his mind, there was nothing that Su Huaiming couldn't handle.
Soon, Fu Xiaoxiao excitedly ran out of the Dinosaur House, clutching the dinosaur egg given to her by the staff, her eyebrows practically flying to the sky.
"Can I play again?" Fu Xiaoxiao was like a spring, bouncing around incessantly.
Su Huaiming, unusually agreeing with Fu Xiaoxiao, nodded, "Okay."
After playing through the Dinosaur House again, Fu Xiaoxiao came out. Before he could even speak, Su Huaiming beat him to it.
"I'm going to play on the rides next door with Zhou Hanyan. You have to listen to your uncle and wait patiently outside."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but pout and said unhappily, "Aren't you going to include me in your games?"
"You're too young. You can play when you're older," Su Huaiming said.
Fu Xiaoxiao shook her head. "I don't want to wait outside, it's too boring."
Zhou Hanyan knew Fu Xiaoxiao's bad temper and looked at Su Huaiming with lingering fear.
Su Huaiming's expression remained natural as he said, "While you were playing in the Dinosaur House, weren't we waiting outside?"
Fu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "Yes."
Su Huaiming then asked, "Shouldn't you return these two times to me?"
Fu Xiaoxiao didn't want to owe Su Huaiming, so she nodded like a chick catching rice. "That's right."
"Shouldn't you wait for us outside?"
Fu Xiaoxiao had been completely fooled, "She should."
Su Huaiming pressed on, "Do we have to wait two times?"
"Yes!"
Su Huaiming smiled faintly, concealing his accomplishment, and gave Zhou Hanyan a look. Before Fu Xiaoxiao could react, the two immediately headed towards the next amusement park ride.
This project is very popular; even with VIP access, there's still a wait.
Fu Xiaoxiao only waited five minutes before becoming impatient, and the staff were very worried that he would cause trouble.
But Fu Xiaoxiao kept her promise and said nothing.
After a while, Fu Xiaoxiao looked up at the crew members and said, "Uncle, I'm a little hungry. Could you buy me something to eat? I'll ask my stepfather to give you the money."
The staff member immediately nodded and led Fu Xiaoxiao to buy food.
He underestimated Fu Xiaoxiao's cunning and appetite. After finishing her meal, Fu Xiaoxiao made a new request, and the staff had no reason to refuse, so they had no choice but to agree.
Fu Xiaoxiao ate her way through the journey, and finally, patting her round, bulging belly, she let out a long sigh of relief and sat down to rest on a wooden bench by the roadside.
Seeing that so much time had passed, the staff became very anxious and urged, "Let's go back quickly."
Fu Xiaoxiao swung her fair and tender legs. "Xiao Xiao is tired. Xiao Xiao wants to rest a little longer."
"But your father won't be able to see you, he'll worry."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoxiao belatedly raised her head, looked around, and didn't see Su Huaiming. It was as if she had just realized he was gone.
The staff member noticed Fu Xiaoxiao's slightly trembling eyelashes and bewildered expression, and their heart skipped a beat as they realized an important problem.
Fu Xiaoxiao is too young and will be scared without her parents around!
Moreover, Fu Xiaoxiao is extremely unruly when she cries and won't stop on her own; only Su Huaiming can control her.
The staff member was extremely panicked, afraid that Fu Xiaoxiao would be scared and cry, and also afraid that there would be a broadcast accident—something that a mere employee like him could not handle.
Just as the staff's hearts were in their throats, Fu Xiaoxiao blinked, biting her lip with her chubby teeth, her big eyes revealing fear.
The staff member's brow furrowed, a sense of foreboding creeping over him. Just as he was about to comfort him, Fu Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up, rushed to his side anxiously, and cried out, "What do we do? Dad's lost!"
Staff:???? What the heck? Who's lost?!
Receiving no response, Fu Xiaoxiao sighed deeply, stomped her foot in exasperation, and, with a pout, accused, "It's all my stepfather's fault for running off! I can't find him anywhere!"
Su Huaiming had somehow acquired a strange impression in Fu Xiaoxiao's mind. Fu Xiaoxiao cupped her face in her hands with worry and murmured softly, "He's crying from fright, what should we do!"
Chapter 50
The staff member remained silent for more than ten seconds before finding his voice.
"Your dad will be very worried..." The staff member hesitated for a few seconds before uttering the word that seemed absurd to him, "But he won't cry."
The viewers in the live stream were initially shocked, but after recovering, they laughed until tears almost came to their eyes.
[Xiao Xiao, do you have some misunderstanding about your dad?]
[This is the first time I've ever seen a dad get lost, and he even cried! lol emoji]
