The wolfdog heard Lan Xiangxian's voice and lowered his head, seemingly a little dejected.
He stopped behind the little boy, refusing to budge no matter how the boy tugged.
"Older Brother, do you want to play with that older brother?"
Noticing something was wrong, the little boy turned around and looked at Lan Xiangxian from beside the wolfdog.
The wolfdog nodded, then shook his head.
He took the little boy's hand and walked toward the center.
[This is the first time I've heard baby Xiangxian turn someone down...]
[Who's in there, anyway?]
[No idea, but a wolfdog... I remember Pei Hanmo's assistant is a wolfdog, right? A Tibetan mastiff, I think?]
[What are you thinking, commenter above? An assistant working here as an amusement park NPC? Are you nuts?]
Watching the wolfdog's dejected figure retreat, Lan Xiangxian stood and walked toward the carousel nearby.
"Want a ride?"
The staff member beside him asked.
There were lots of children on it, all grinning, with adults beside them taking pictures.
Seeing the cameraman, one of the adults stepped over and asked:
"Are you filming a show?"
"Yes."
Lan Xiangxian nodded.
He had always wanted to ride a carousel like this as a child, but whenever his father got any money, he would go gambling, leaving nothing for him and his mother.
The two of them had barely scraped by.
Back then, he hadn't understood why his mother wouldn't get a divorce. Only at the very end had he realized that divorce was useless.
His father was like a vicious, greedy snake, coiled around the two of them.
Even if she divorced him, he would come after them, and might even do something extreme.
"Are you a celebrity?"
The person looked Lan Xiangxian up and down.
"I don't think I've seen you before.
