After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

After a long time, Lu Ranran spoke again.

"Did he discover this location?"

Lu Ranran didn't say "Dad", but just used the word "she".

It's like talking about Shen Xiling as just an ordinary friend.

"Ah."

"Aunt An Ning loved coming here to play, but she always complained about the crowds."

Another bombshell name.

"Uncle Lu brought me here to check out the place so that Aunt An Ning could have a good time and rest."

Lu Ranran smiled easily, "Bring you here to check out the place? Afraid you'd be a nerd?"

When I heard the word "nerd", the memories hidden deep in my mind gradually emerged.

Twenty-two years ago, Lu Boyuan sat in Lu Ranran's seat and laughed loudly at Shen Xiling who had just put on glasses.

"You little idiot, you stay in the study room every day, and your parents don't take you out for a walk more often."

Shen Xiling was only six years old that year, sitting on a chair with his feet dangling in the air.

The little hands held the huge Coke cup carefully and sipped it.

Hearing Lu Boyuan's words, he carefully put the Coke cup back on the table, pushed his glasses up on his nose, and sternly retorted:

"Uncle Lu, you were the one who said it was embarrassing for a grown man to come to the amusement park."

A hand waved before his eyes.

Shen Xiling came back to his senses and saw Lu Ranran looking at him with a puzzled look on her face.

"what happened?"

"Nothing." Shen Xiling shook his head and smiled. "You and Uncle Lu really look alike."

Lu Ranran did not respond immediately.

She turned her head and stared out the window for a long moment.

It seemed like he was sighing, or talking to himself, and the voice was faint.

“Look, there are so many people outside the window.”

"Boys, girls, adults, children, old people. Different faces, saying things that have nothing to do with each other."

"Just by looking at them like that, you wouldn't want to get to know them."

"It's very strange." Lu Ranran turned her head and curled her lips bitterly, "When I heard my parents' names, I felt the same as when I saw the passers-by downstairs."

"Not even as deep as your feelings for them."

Shen Xiling opened his mouth as if he wanted to advise something, but still said nothing.

The crowd coming and going was noisy, but a silent and quiet space was formed between the two of them.

Suddenly, Lu Ranran slapped the table and suddenly announced:

"Okay, I've decided."

Shen Xiling was frightened and trembled, but at the same time he was curious and found himself funny.

"What to decide?"

Lu Ranran looked at Shen Xiling, her eyes no longer showing the indifference of a few minutes ago, and were now emitting shimmering light.

"Next, you take me around."

"Follow the route you remember."

"I thought..." Shen Xiling was surprised.

He deliberately left his words unfinished. "I don't want to know about my parents' past" sounded like an accusation.

Lu Ranran smiled calmly, not hiding the fact that she had this "treasonous" thought.

"Now that you've put your words here, how can I refuse?"

"No, I'm not—"

Shen Xiling became unusually anxious, and his outstretched hand almost touched the Coke on the table.

After catching a glimpse of the mischief in Lu Ranran's eyes, Shen Xiling was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing.

Pushing the scattered things on the table aside, Shen Xiling leaned forward and asked as if to confirm:

"Really?"

Lu Ranran nodded, "It's true, not fake."

In the following time, Lu Ranran became a listener with peace of mind.

Shen Xiling combined the details in his memory with the scenes in the amusement park one by one, categorizing them into different categories, like a well-trained tour guide.

Take Lu Ranran to visit an exhibition about the lives of An Ning and Lu Boyuan.

The parade float passed by in the distance, and Shen Xiling said:

"Actually, Aunt An Ning always squeezed into the crowd when watching the parade, and never came here once."

"Uncle Lu was so worried that he was once even pushed into the parade by the crowd and forced to dance along."

After the parade disappeared from sight, Shen Xiling took Lu Ranran through the bungee jumping machine and came to the small theater in the park.

Under the bungee jumping machine, Shen Xiling said:

"Aunt An Ning likes to play this very much. She plays it every time she comes."

"But Uncle Lu is not used to it. He takes a long time to recover every time he comes down. But Aunt An Ning never waits for him and always queues for the second round."

Lu Ranran made a small shelter in front of her forehead with one hand and looked up at the people screaming up and down.

Some people were shouting excitedly, while others looked pale, like sculptures.

It was as if that was An Ning and Lu Boyuan from long ago.

The line at the theater entrance was not long, and most people went to watch the parade or go to the popular attractions.

"Caribbean Ranger?"

The cheap posters with a few large and bold Chinese characters give off a ridiculous vibe as if they were trying to ride on the popularity but are afraid of being sued.

Shen Xiling pointed to a line of small words at the bottom of the poster.

"Look, the screenwriter is a woman, do you remember anything?"

Female, Ding?

With such a strange name, is there a surname called “女”?

However, considering the purpose of their trip...

Lu Ranran was a little bit unbelievable, but couldn't help but find it funny.

"No way, An Ning is going to take off her bun?"

Shen Xiling nodded, "It is said that Aunt An Ning wrote this because she was short of money to pay her tuition in college."

"In the end, I didn't earn the tuition fee, but was given a super VIP card as a trick."

Lu Ranran remembered the super VIP card that Xu Yuan borrowed and asked:

"Is this the only play in this theater?"

"Why do you ask?"

Lu Ranran took out the Super VIP from her bag and said, "My colleague gave it to me. Could she have been deceived into writing the manuscript?"

Shen Xiling smiled and said, "As far as I know, this is the only case, so your colleague should be safe."

This skit, which was designed to attract attention, was quite effective, with a lot of jokes, and it also made fun of why rangers appeared in the Caribbean.

However, the actors seemed to have no sense of conviction, their lines were read dryly, and there was no sense of immersion.

After Lu Ranran came out, she sighed, "No wonder she chose a pen name."

After coming out of the theater, the sun was already setting.

The slightly orange clouds were faint and not warm, as if they were exhausted after a whole day's work.

The noisy garden also became quiet, as if tired after a day of laughter.

Some people found a seat in the square, and more people began to move slowly towards the Ferris wheel.

Everyone is waiting for the same event to put a perfect end to their amusement park trip.

Lu Ranran refused small activities such as the carousel and bumper cars and found a place to rest.

Shen Xiling left for a few minutes.

When Lu Ranran thought he had gone out to play by himself, he brought back a white ice cream cone.

"Eat."

“A visit to an amusement park is incomplete without ice cream.”

Lu Ranran took the ice cream and bit off the snow-white tip.

The cool and milky sweetness spreads in the mouth. The sugar stimulates the secretion of dopamine, giving a sense of satisfaction after fatigue.

"Will they buy ice cream at that time?"

Shen Xiling nodded, but then shook his head.

"I don't know whether they like it or not."

"But as long as they take me with them, they will buy it for me."

Lu Ranran understood, "Is the family strict?"

"I know they are doing this for my own good, but they are just kids..."

Shen Xiling took a bite of the crispy skin of the ice cream cone.

Recalling the happy childhood, it is hard not to feel soft and warm.

"Were you happy, at that time?"

"Well, I'm very happy."

So I hope you can be happy too.

Shen Xiling thought.
