Chapter Fifty-Three Strolling in the Park

  Thank you for the reward from Weisheng and Xiaomai, thank you very much.

  The leaves by the roadside gradually turned yellow, and the sky occasionally had a gentle breeze blowing over, and October arrived in the blink of an eye.

  A little kid in the house stood beside a large desk, diligently practicing big characters, with sweat dripping from his nose tip, but no one paid attention.

  "Come out and eat an apple." Zhao's father shouted from outside the door.

  The two of them finally stopped writing and took a break to wipe away their sweat.

  Upon arriving at the hall, the two of them hastily grabbed an apple and started munching on it. Writing also requires physical strength, after all.

  "Grandpa Zhao, let Nini go out and play with me this afternoon, she's never been out before." Wang Yiran said with a mouthful of apple, not even considering himself an outsider.

  Song Jie listened, and the two of them didn't mention this when they were talking before, how did it suddenly come up. She glared at Wang Yiran with her eyes, this kid was really not considerate enough, not even telling the person involved.

  Wang Yiran had no choice but to put down the apple and clasp his hands together in a gesture of apology to Song Jie, with a pleading expression.

  Song Jie saw his weird expression and temporarily let him off with a slight pout.

  Zhao's father saw that the two of them were exchanging flirtatious glances, but pretended not to notice and continued drinking his tea. Before he could even say anything, the two of them had already started bickering with each other.

  Seeing Zhao's grandfather not speaking, Wang Yiran quickly walked up and pulled the old man's arm, coquettishly saying: "Grandfather Zhao... teacher... just let us go..." The tone of voice made Song Jie rub her arm fiercely. Good grief, goosebumps all stood up.

  Zhao's father was so startled that the tea was about to spill over, and he quickly put down his teacup: "Alright, don't you have any manly demeanor? Stand up straight!"

  Wang Yiran suddenly stood up straight, her small face also tensed up.

  Beside "puff" Song Jie couldn't help but laugh out loud, her own grandfather was too good at teasing people, and that kid actually believed it.

  Finally, Mr. Zhao agreed to let them go out and play, but required that they not go far and only be active in the surrounding area.

  Wang Yiran nodded heavily, jumping three feet high. Since he came home, the atmosphere has always been so lively, and Song Jie also looked forward to the arrival of the weekend.

  Wang Yiran saw that his sister Wang Zong was always cooped up at home and didn't want to go out. He thought of taking Song Jie out for a spin, being a good brother.

  Wang Yiran grew up in this area when he was a child and was taken away by his parents when he went to school. He is very familiar with the place and won't get lost even with his eyes closed.

  He had lunch at Song Jie's house, and Song Jie's family ate a bit late, finishing after 12 o'clock. Since there were guests at home, Zhao Mu made a very sumptuous meal, making the little kid eat with oil dripping from his mouth.

  With a satisfied pat on his belly, Wang Yiran took Song Jie out the door. As it turned out, Song Jie was not very familiar with the surrounding environment, except for that one time they went to the mall, the farthest place she had been was the farmer's market. This was her first time sneaking out.

  Two people walked to the door and headed towards the street corner. After turning a corner, there was a small shop, Wang Yiran went in and bought several bags of Happy Beans and stuffed them into Song Jie's pocket.

  Song Jie didn't stand on ceremony either, taking out a package and tearing it open as she walked and ate, looking nothing like someone who had just eaten.

  "Where are we going, Brother Yi Ran?" Due to their age difference, Song Jie had no choice but to address a little kid as "brother".

  "Let's go to the park and have some fun. There is a cultural park nearby that doesn't charge admission, let's go there." Wang Yiran thought for a moment before responding, but in reality he himself didn't know where to go either.

  Song Jie nodded slightly. She didn't really care where they went, as long as she could get familiar with the roads so that she wouldn't get lost when she went out in the future.

  Two people sneaked into the Cultural Park, and there wasn't even a big gate outside, they just went in like that.

  As they entered, the view suddenly opened up, and everywhere was filled with purple and red flowers in bloom. Although it was already October, the weather was still very warm, and many of the flowers had not yet wilted. The two arrived just in time to catch the tail end of the blooming season, and their eyes were filled with the sight.

  Song Jie thought that during this time, no one would come out, who wouldn't be at home hiding? She still underestimated the number of people in China. The park was especially crowded because it coincided with the weekend.

  Many parents have nowhere to go when they come out for a stroll, and they all flock to the park.

  There are all sorts of people here, some even selling snacks and treats, it's bustling with people everywhere.

  Song Jie was really shocked, the two of them holding hands and weaving through the crowd, occasionally stopping to watch children playing games. She hadn't seen so many people since the village fair, a long time ago.

  "If I set up a stall here, I'll definitely make a lot of money." Song Jie thought to herself in a daze, and in her eyes, it was just a way to get rich.

  Wang Yiran heard someone calling out his name from a distance.

  As I looked up, a dark-skinned boy of about ten years old was walking towards us with a group of little kids following behind him. Wang Yiran waved at them and it seemed like they knew each other.

  That dark-skinned boy walked over, raised his fist and gave Wang Yiran a punch on the shoulder: "Long time no see, where have you been playing?" The friendship between boys is so strange, they can play together even if they are several years apart.

  "I've been studying at home recently, I don't dare go out and play." Wang Yiran said casually.

  "You've actually worked hard for once, how come I never noticed before?" The boy's face was full of disbelief.

  "Cut it out, what do you know? It's been ages since we last met."

  The boy who was the first to nod in agreement, turned his head and saw that Wang Yiran still had a little girl following behind him. Suddenly, he became interested: "Hey, Ranzai, who is this?" He raised his chin towards Song Jie.

  Wang Yiran only then realized that he hadn't introduced them yet: "This is my sister, Song Jie, Ni Ni. Come, this is your brother Sun Taoguang." A big brother attitude.

  Song Jie secretly rolled her eyes and took a step forward, calling out in a cute voice: "Hello, Brother Sun Tao." That little appearance was so adorable it could kill someone.

  Sun Tao was called and still felt a bit embarrassed, his face turned red, but unfortunately, it was covered by his dark complexion and nothing could be seen. He scratched his head and said foolishly: "Okay, sister is good."

  The little brothers behind, seeing the big brother's back, are they going to make a move? The muscles on his back are bulging, and the veins are popping out. His eyes are gleaming with a fierce light, and his fists are clenched tightly. He is ready to pounce at any moment.

  Song Jie thought that this little kid who wasn't very big was quite intimidating and could calm people down, what a talent.

  "By the way, Ranzi, there's a movie screening in the park tonight. Let's go together then, it's been a long time since we've had fun together." Sun Tao suggested.

  "Alright, see you tonight."
