Mian Mian looked at him with a smile, and the two went to play shooting. The game was simple: shoot balloons with a toy gun to win prizes.
Mian Mian and Yun Buji each held a gun, aiming at balloons. Mian Mian only hit five, while Yun Buji hit them all.
The vendor handed two prizes to each of them. Yun Buji received a bear as tall as a person, while Mian Mian got a small pig keychain.
Yun Buji teased her mercilessly, but Mian Mian wasn't angry and asked to swap.
Yun Buji: "..."
So, are men born to work for girls?
However, he also received Mian Mian's prize. She clipped the keychain onto his backpack.
At Mian Mian's insistence, Yun Buji now also carried a backpack, filled with practice papers.
Now, he could study wherever he went.
Mian Mian looked at the pink little pig hanging from his black backpack and laughed so hard she couldn't straighten up.
Yun Buji looked at the pig. Although he outwardly complained, he secretly liked it. Seeing her laugh, he deliberately tickled her. Mian Mian was very ticklish, and they played and teased each other.
Yun Buji then took her to play darts. Yun Buji was again laden with prizes, while Mian Mian only got a few small trinkets. Since they ended up exchanging gifts anyway, Mian Mian didn't mind.
Finally, they had to leave when the amusement park closed.
"This place is so much fun! Can we come every week from now on?" Mian Mian asked happily, pulling his hand.
"Sure, as long as you can get away," Yun Buji agreed. He didn't have any objections; he was fine wherever he was.
"I'm almost someone who won't be loved by my parents anymore. How can I not get away?" Mian Mian felt sad when this thought occurred.
Even though she knew her parents loved her and always would, the thought of them remarrying and having their own children made her sad.
Although her father had repeatedly assured her he wouldn't remarry, who could predict the future? Her mother loved her dearly and would surely remarry.
And how could her father guarantee he wouldn't remarry? Even if he didn't want to, she didn't want him to live a lonely life.
The thought made Mian Mian sad.
"What's wrong? Don't your parents love you very much?" Yun Buji looked at her worriedly.
"They do love me, but they aren't married, and they might remarry. I don't know. Can I treat you to dinner today? Please? I'll treat you to something good!" Mian Mian said generously.
"Then I'll have to eat something expensive, since the young lady is so rich," Yun Buji said as if he were carefully considering what to eat.
"I'll take you somewhere. I know a really delicious place."
Mian Mian said this, hailed a taxi, and got in with Yun Buji.
What Mian Mian didn't know was that after Qian Xiaoguo got off the taxi, she didn't go home. After calling Zhao Ke, Zhao Ke told her to go back. She then took another taxi back to the hotel.
That night completely ruined Qian Xiaoguo.
...
Mian Mian and Yun Buji had their fill of fun and food, and then they each went home.
Mian Mian didn't look for her mother again, nor did she particularly want to talk to her father. She wasn't a pessimistic person, but she still felt that her parents would eventually abandon her, so she wanted to keep a little distance from them for now.
Perhaps this way, it wouldn't hurt as much later.
Jiang Mi sensed her daughter's recent low mood and her distance from her. Though it was slight, it still made her sad.
