Super Soldier-Chapter 431 - Little Huarui Didn’t See Anything
Chapter 431 Little Huarui Didn’t See Anything
After the car arrived at the amusement park, Little Huarui got out of the car and trotted jauntily toward the gate.
Xiao Bing and Yezi stood hand in hand. Yezi felt happy, but also strangely sad, as she looked at the perky Little Huarui. She could not help sighing, “Little Huarui has not been this happy for such a long time.”
Xiao Bing grinned, “Yes. All little girls like amusement parks.”
“For her, the most important thing is not coming here. It’s your company she is after. Maybe you will have to shoulder a heavier burden from now on, apart from me, you still have this pitiful but lovable girl to look after. We are both relying on you.”
Xiao Bing gently patted her on her back and said, “Silly girl, you are not a burden to me. You are the source of my joy. Go with her and wait for me at the gate. I’ll buy our tickets.”
Yezi then went to Liu Xiaorui. Xiao Bing waited in the queue and bought 3 tickets. They could use the tickets for anything inside the park, without having to pay extra. Then he came back to Yezi and Liu Xiaorui. Grinning, Xiao Bing pinched Liu Xiaorui’s cheeks and asked, “I bet you ran out of patience.”
Liu Xiaorui said, “Not really. My sister-in-law is here with me. Sis, you’ve always been busy, and yet you came here especially for me. Are you sure it’s okay?”
Though Liu Xiaorui was only a little girl, she was very sensible. Perhaps it had something to do with her education. Xiao Bing still remembered this little girl’s feministic speech the first time he met her. She might be not as mature as adults, but she was more sensible than her peers.
She was devastated when her mother died. But she became a lot more mature after that, which made others feel both relieved and sad.
Yezi smiled, “It’s okay if it’s for our Little Huarui. Besides, I’ve canceled all other plans for today.. What? You don’t want me to be here with you? Am I disturbing you and your brother?”
“I did not mean that.” She grabbed Yezi’s arms instantly and explained nervously, “I know that in this world, you are the one who treats me the best, apart from my brother. You both are the closest people to me. How could I not like spending time with you?”
Yezi lifted Little Huarui and cuddled her. She kissed her cheeks and grinned, “I was just kidding. You really should see the look on your face.”
Liu Xiaorui smiled happily when she heard that. “You really should put me down. You can barely carry me.”
Cuddling Little Huarui in her arms, Yezi spun her around, while giggling. “Are you suggesting that I have no strength?”
“I’m just too heavy for you.”
Actually, the little girl was right. Yezi seldom did any work that required physical strength and Little Huarui was already 6 years old. It was hard for her to hold Little Huarui. So she started panting right after she put the little girl down.
Xiao Bing guffawed, “Little Huarui, perhaps you should not let her carry you. You are too heavy for her.”
“Are you mocking me? Little Huarui, throw yourself in his arms.”
Guffawing, Xiao Bing picked her up. “It’s so easy for me. Ouch!”
While Xiao Bing was laughing, Yezi suddenly jumped onto his back and clung on to him. Xiao Bing pretended to have difficulties carrying her. “Yezi, you’re so heavy. I can barely carry you. You should really go on a diet.”
Yezi gritted her teeth, “I don’t care. Just carry me and Little Huarui, and we will go into the park.”
Liu Xiaorui giggled in Xiao Bing’s arms. Xiao Bing pretended to be upset and walked in with a long face, murmuring about how he was being bullied by the two girls, which made them laugh louder.
The ticket-taker could not help laughing too, when he saw Xiao Bing. But actually carrying these two girls was a piece of cake for Xiao Bing. He was just pretending that they were too heavy for him.
With one in his arms and one on his back, Xiao Bing strode into the park, without a care for the curious gazes from the other people. Smiling, he pointed at the merry-go-round and asked, “Would you like to play on that? I can take pictures for you.”
“Of course.” Liu Xiaorui said.
Xiao Bing then put the two down and gave them the tickets. Then they waited in the queue. After they got onto the carousel, Xiao Bing took out his phone and took pictures of their happy moments.
Liu Xiaorui was smiling happily. Xiao Bing wished that this moment could last forever.
Soon the round was over. Liu Xiaorui came to Xiao Bing and grabbed his arms, “Brother, can we go on the roller coaster?”
“Seriously?” Xiao Bing was startled. He looked at Liu Xiaorui in surprise. “You’re brave enough to ride on that?”
“Brother is afraid?”
Xiao Bing smiled, “I dare. But you are too young for it. You should be at least 12 years old if you want to ride the roller coaster. It’s not suitable for children.”
“Fine.” Liu Xiaorui pouted, but soon the smile appeared on her face once again. “Then Brother Bing can accompany me to play on something else”
“How about the sky wheel?”
“Of course!”
Liu Xiaorui was smiling all the time she was with Xiao Bing and Yezi, both of them holding her hands, one on each side She walked jauntily.
“Brother, will you hang out with me often?”
“I will. As long as you are good and stay happy each day, I will always bring you out and play with you.”
When they queued for the sky wheel, there was an old lady and a little girl in front of them. The little girl was her granddaughter. The old lady looked back at them and asked smilingly, “What’s your relationship with this girl?”
Liu Xiaorui answered first, “My brother and sister-in-law brought me here to play.”
“I see.” The granny sighed, “Now there are few brothers and sisters-in-law, who are as good as both of you. Even some parents seldom hang out with their kids, giving the excuse that they are too busy working.
Liu Xiaorui seemed happy and proud. After her mother was gone, her brother and sister-in-law were the pride of her life.
Xiao Bing said, “Granny, nowadays, many people don’t know that the most important thing in this world is not money. It’s the loved ones around them.
The old lady nodded with a smile. She stared at Xiao Bing and sighed, “Few young men are like that now. How rare it is…”
Xiao Bing asked, “Granny, is this your granddaughter?”
“Yes.” The old lady looked at the girl dotingly. “My son holds the opposite view. He deems his career is more important than anything else. He seldom plays with this girl. But I’m willing to do it. So I asked them to send the kid to me.”
Xiao Bing asked, “Is her dad a business man?”
“He’s not. But he seems a lot busier than most businessmen. Never mind. We should try and understand him. After all, he works for the people.”
The old lady’s complaints seemed to mitigate after she said this, and she did not seem to want to continue the topic. So Xiao Bing stopped asking.
The little girl looked up and said, “Grandma, please don’t say anything more. Dad said that he is working for the country and the people in it, so he cannot be here with me. We should try and understand him.”
“You are a good girl.” The old lady stroked her granddaughter’s head lovingly.
A smile touched Xiao Bing’s lips. It seemed that her son was a public servant, which was a profession highly respected by people. Sometimes they had to choose the country over their family. Xiao Bing was well aware of this.
The old lady was very impressed by Xiao Bing. Maybe it was because of what Xiao Bing had just said. So she prattled on when they were in the queue. Liu Xiaorui found that she and that girl shared the same interests. Xiao Bing asked and found that they were both six and a half years old. Noticing how the girls got along so well, Xiao Bing invited the old lady and the little girl to his mansion. In this way the two girls could play with each other.
Xiao Bing also felt that this old lady was not like any ordinary grandmother, from her demeanor. He supposed she was once quite a strong woman when she was young. Few women of her age had such wisdom. She had good manners and there was a sense of nobility to it,
They exchanged addresses, and then they parted company, when it was the old lady and her granddaughter’s turn.
After they went into the sky wheel, Yezi said that the old lady was interesting. In Yezi’s eyes, she did not seem to be the usual type of old person from her era.
Xiao Bing looked through the window of the rising cabin and sighed, “I believe that her son is not merely an ordinary public servant.”
“But… I’m not interested in it. I’m only interested in the beauty in my arms.” There was a hint of a smile in Xiao Bing’s eyes, as he held Yezi close.
Liu Xiaorui covered her eyes with her hands, but the gap between her fingers was quite big. “I did not see anything! I did not see anything!”
Yezi blushed and Xiao Bing guffawed.
