"So I’m willing to send the child to you to raise.""Aren’t you doing it for your own convenience? I noticed that since we came, you’ve been behaving yourself. Your girlfriends must be getting anxious, huh?" Old Yang teased Han Xiangjun, this guy. He really doesn’t hold back at all.
"Haha. That’s just a pastime for me. It’s so boring being alone. I asked you all to move over and you weren’t willing."
"Actually, we just cherish that kind of lifestyle. Besides, after meeting that person, knowing there’s no need for us now, of course, we’d want a free and easy life."
The children were evidently especially happy, especially the two little boys.
"Brother, hurry up."
Shi Jing was internally complaining like crazy; he was already fast enough, half a lap ahead of his sister and over a lap ahead of Jianbin. He couldn’t figure out why this little brother was so obsessed with speed.
Yang Run Tai was skating along nearby, "Feifei, why don’t you play by yourself for a while, and I’ll pull Ah Bao?"
"No need, it’s too fast, I’m afraid he might fall, besides I’m playing this way too."
Once again rejected, Yang Run Tai wasn’t annoyed. It seemed winning these little ones’ approval was indeed very difficult.
Yang Run Tai sometimes didn’t know why he wanted to hang around with these little ones?
Actually, in his heart, these are indeed kids. He could treat them as juniors in terms of mentality.
Wei Kaiyun and the other two came down and took the ropes from the three older kids.
"You guys go play, you’re sweating already. Don’t stop. Exercise slowly, otherwise you’ll catch a cold from the sweat later."
Pulling Shi Xian was Han Xiangjun. "Uncle Han, hurry up, brother is too slow."
"You still think it’s slow? Why don’t you pull me instead? You’re always sitting; it’s so boring. Want to try what it’s like to run on ice?" Han Xiangjun encouraged Shi Xian.
"Okay."
The two switched positions. Han Xiangjun sat laughing on the ice cart, watching the little one pull hard in front, but it didn’t budge.
After watching for a while, fearing the little one might get annoyed, he added some strength, and only then did the ice cart move.
There were many people playing on the ice, all speechlessly watching this pair.
Han Xiangjun didn’t care about others watching him, and Shi Xian was even more of a people-person. One was happily sitting behind, while the other exerted himself pulling in front.
Tingting sat in the back, watching as dad pulled her, "Dad."
Wei Kaiyun turned to look at the little girl, "What’s wrong?"
"I want to pull you."
Wei Kaiyun shook his head with a smile. "You sit."
The little girl looked conflicted but finally said, "Dad, I’m cold." wanting to get down and walk.
Eventually, Wei Kaiyun held the little girl’s hand, walking on the ice. Some kids ran over and borrowed the ice cart. Wei Kaiyun generously lent it to them, and the kids ran off happily pulling the cart.
Yang Run Tai watched from the side, aware that the little girl was adopted by them. He could see how well Wei Kaiyun treated her.
He walked to Wei Kaiyun’s side, "Uncle Wei, let’s go out for dinner later; I’ve arranged everything."
"Alright. Thank you, Xiao Yang." Wei Kaiyun called him that.
"Uncle Yang, no need to be polite. I have an inexplicable fondness for your family and hope to associate with you for a long time. I like Shi Jing, Feifei, Shi Xian."
Wei Kaiyun nodded, temporarily believing his words as there was no other explanation.
Han Xiangjun sat behind, "Shi Xian, your speed is really too slow. Hurry up."
The little one stopped, turning to look at the elder, "Uncle Han, you’re heavy."
"Haha, am I heavy? But you can still manage to pull me. It shows Shi Xian is really strong."
Shi Xian felt something was off about the comment but didn’t know what, so he turned back and continued.
The three older ones helplessly watched this duo, really eye-opening. Shi Xian willingly went along, and others couldn’t do anything about it.
"Brother, I can’t watch anymore." Jiang Feifei commented furiously.
"Indeed. That silly boy, huh."
Just then, a few little boys came over to invite them to play ice monkey.
This was Shi Jing’s favorite. So the ice surface was filled with a lively scene again. Voices cheering and laughing echoed all over the ice.
Shi Xian saw how lively the other side was. He pulled Han Xiangjun there.
Being really tired, he straightforwardly tossed the rope aside and squeezed into the crowd, watching his brother play, feeling it must be really fun.
Han Xiangjun stood up laughing, feeling abandoned, squeezing into the crowd too, watching the little one’s shining eyes full of desire.
He rubbed the hat on his head, "Want to play?"
"Yes, I do."
"But you haven’t learned yet, your brothers did already."
"Uncle Han, you teach me."
"Haha, I’m not good at this. How about I find you a teacher?"
The little one nodded excitedly, thinking ice monkey must be particularly fun.
Han Xiangjun guided the little one, swapping the ice cart for ice monkey, and used some fruit candy to find a little teacher for Shi Xian.
Shi Xian kept staring at Han Xiangjun, developing the idea in his young mind that everything can be exchanged.
Ah Bao watched his brother play and couldn’t sit still now. Old Yang had no choice but to pick him up, watching Shi Xian learn to play ice monkey from the side.
Wei Kaiyun also led the little girl over.
Watching his younger son, although still unsteady, his movements were correct. There was a faint sense of pride, this is my son.
Soon, cheering noises came from over there, as Shi Jing’s opponent lost the match.
The next one was Jianbin, the two started together.
Yang Run Tai stood watching on the side, full of envy, thinking this must be childhood? He had never experienced such a life.
Is this why I want to befriend these three kids? Hmm, it’s very likely because that’s what they have, something I want. People pursue what they don’t have.
He envied their carefree lives, envied them always having such a childhood.
Tingting tugged Wei Kaiyun’s hand, "Dad. Cold."
Wei Kaiyun picked up the little girl, seeing the three older ones still playing enthusiastically, and Shi Jing in high spirits. To ask him to leave now was impossible.
"Tingting, dad will hold you. Your brother and sister are still playing. How about I take you home to find your mom?"
The little girl smiled with squinting eyes, "Yes, go home to find mom." Her dependence on Jiang Xinyu was heavier than the three biological ones. That’s why Wei Kaiyun changed his attitude toward her.
Wei Kaiyun found his daughter, "Feifei, dad is taking little sister home. She’s cold."
