“Hello, we’re here.” The driver reminded them and disrupted the fantasy in Du Xi’s mind. After Du Xi paid, he got out of the car with Jiang Ju. Standing at the entrance of the amusement park, Jiang Ju looked up at the towering Ferris wheel. The excitement in her eyes couldn’t be hidden. After graduating from primary school, she had never come to an amusement park again. Her parents said that if she had the money, she might as well buy a few more exam practice sets to do. She was no longer a primary school student and had to prioritize her studies.

After Du Xi bought the ticket, when he walked back, he saw her frozen on the spot in a daze. He reached out and poked her slightly puffed-up cheeks as he said, “Stop daydreaming. Hurry up and go in to play. I’ll accompany you to whatever you want to play today.” The amusement park was open 24 hours a day. Even if she wanted to play all night, he was willing to accompany her. In this amusement park, an adult ticket cost 888 yuan, and if they bought something to eat or drink inside, it would cost more than a thousand yuan per person. Jiang Ju just received the rent and had some money left over from last month, so she could afford the ticket fee, but she had never thought of coming here to play.

“It’s so expensive. Forget it…” Du Xi stroked her hair and said with a chuckle, “Young lady, I’ve already bought both tickets. If you don’t go and play, this thousand yuan will go down the drain.”

They had already arrived at the amusement park, but she was still hesitating and dawdling. No matter what, he had to let her in to play today. He was definitely going to the Ferris wheel. If she didn’t want to be carried up in public and embarrass herself, she had to follow him up obediently.

Du Xi didn’t give Jiang Ju a chance to refuse again. He pulled her hand and held it while leading her inside. After entering the park, he let go and smiled happily as he said, “Let’s see if you can still retreat now. Hurry up and see what you want to play. Have as much fun as you can, so the money isn’t wasted.”

Jiang Ju could only follow behind him obediently and slowly wander around the amusement park. When they passed by a small path, there was a girl in a princess dress selling balloons at the intersection. When she saw the two of them walking over, she smiled and went up to them. “Sir, please buy a balloon for your child.”

Du Xi was speechless and exasperated. Where did the amusement park hire such an insensible salesperson from?

Seeing Du Xi’s livid expression, Jiang Ju looked at the princess and then at Du Xi again. Then, she suppressed her smile as she pulled Du Xi away. After walking for a distance, Jiang Ju let go of Du Xi’s hand and couldn’t help but laugh. Du Xi was originally extremely angry, but when he saw her laugh, his anger instantly dissipated by more than half. “Why are you pulling me away? I want to ask her how can I have a daughter in her twenties?!”

Jiang Ju smiled and looked at him innocently as she said, “I was afraid that you would beat her up in a fit of anger.” Du Xi was so exasperated that he laughed. He reached out and scratched the tip of her nose as he said, “Hurry up and put on your mask. If I encounter someone else who says that I look like your father, I probably won’t be able to help but beat that person up.”

For the sake of convenience, Jiang Ju pulled her mask to her chin, but now that she heard Du Xi’s words, she reached out to pull her mask up again.

“Forget it, finish the fruit juice first before putting it on.” Seeing that she was so obedient, Du Xi couldn’t stay angry anymore. He asked her to stay there and wait for him, then he went back.

Jiang Ju pricked up her ears and could vaguely hear him say in a low voice. “Pick the most expensive one for me. I’m giving it to my daughter.”

This time, Jiang Ju couldn’t hold it in anymore. She laughed so hard that she couldn’t straighten her back. After Du Xi paid, he turned around and saw this scene. His heart raced and he froze on the spot, unsure of what to do. He was afraid that if he moved, he would disturb her. It was rare for him to see her laugh so happily, so he wanted to watch a little longer.

Seeing that he didn’t come over, Jiang Ju slowly stopped laughing and put her mask back on. Du Xi felt a little disappointed, but he didn’t say anything. He walked over and tied the balloon in his hand to her wrist. Looking at her slender wrist, Du Xi couldn’t help but wonder if she would be carried by the balloon if he tied a few more balloons to her.

This wouldn’t do. She was still a little too thin. Her face looked exquisite and small, but had some baby fat. Out of her entire body, her face had the most flesh. Du Xi planned to feed Jiang Ju until she was chubby in the future.

Jiang Ju looked up at the balloon floating in the air. Her fluttering eyelashes and big doe-eyes were extremely endearing to Du Xi.

She was simply too cute.
