Chapter 6: Healing Father
If it were not for the remarkable self-healing ability demonstrated yesterday, Shen Chong would be greatly astonished at this moment
When was the last time you heard his voice
In the future, we will still continue to be strangers
I spent my daughter's birthday accompanying her myself
If he were not the father of Xin Xin, he would essentially be a stranger with whom I have no connection whatsoever
The beloved daughter immediately felt a pang of sympathy for her father
Strangely, as she listened to the unfamiliar voice of the man on the phone, who was responding to Jiang Yu with neither servility nor arrogance, Lin Zhishu felt not the slightest ripple in her heart
This bubble-blowing is so much fun, I want to blow star bubbles
The father and daughter played through all the entertainment facilities that were suitable for children under 1.2 meters in height without missing a single one
He held his daughter, who weighed over 30 pounds, in his right arm, while his left arm was laden with four oversized bags, and on his back, he carried a travel backpack of considerable size, resembling a soldier on a heavy march
In a hotel in the capital of France, thousands of miles away, Lin Zhishu, who was engrossed in writing, was suddenly interrupted by the ringing of his mobile phone.
It is normal for oneself to not feel tired in a short period of time while carrying so many things, given that one is in good physical condition.
This parent-child activity helps enhance children's understanding of common livestock, broadens their horizons, and disseminates knowledge. The children will also find it very interesting. Shen Chong believes that taking Xin Xin to see the lively scene is quite appropriate
The frenzied shopping spree not only filled Shen Chong's travel bag to the brim, but he also had to request four additional large bags, which were packed to capacity.
Fortunately, Xinxin's birthday was yesterday, and the day before yesterday, before I set off in the afternoon, I had already accompanied her to eat cake in advance
In Lin Zhishu's captivating gaze, there was a complex array of emotions, tinged with a hint of self-mockery and a touch of helplessness
Due to the recent winter vacation for kindergartens, in order to welcome the surge of preschool children visiting the park, Tianxiang Guose has specially launched parent-child activities
Sitting down again, she propped her chin on her hand, lost in thought
Shen Chong smiled and replied, but he felt that this possibility was extremely slim
Well-reasoned and substantiated, it is convincing
Previously, the father and daughter had visited Happy Valley, so this time, Shen Chong chose a slightly farther destination, the Tianxiang Guose Paradise, which takes about an hour to reach by taxi
Beside her, Xin Xin heard Jiang Yu's voice and joyfully leaned towards the microphone, shouting with great delight
While taking a taxi halfway, Shen Chong received a call from Jiang Yu, who generally inquired about how Xin Xin slept last night, whether she ate well, if she was unwell, and what the plans were for today, among other things.
Although fast food is unhealthy, McDonald's is at least more hygienic than the small restaurant next door. It is better for Xinxin to eat as many hamburgers as she wants than to eat those barbecues or skewers after entering the park
Tianxiang Guose is located in Wenhe County, west of Shudu, covering an area of nearly 1,000 acres. It features more than 60 entertainment facilities and nearly 10 national theme pavilions filled with exotic styles from around the world
What kind of monstrous physique is this
In addition, there are quite a few vendors selling children's toys in the Tianxiang Guose area
Although the total value of all the toys may not be as much as just one random item from the child's mother's home, the child does not care about the price at all; they only care about whether it looks good, how new it is, and how many there are.
Dad, I want a Barbie doll, the biggest one, the one in the red dress
Just as Shen Chong got off the car with Xin Xin, he suddenly sneezed
It is all his fault
I want this pink pig balloon
Xinxin does not understand what it means to be polite; she wants everything she sees and likes everything.
Lin Zhishu suddenly threw away his phone in anger, scoffing dismissively with a sound of disdain.
There is no need to mention the expenses; carrying so many toys on my shoulders and back is exhausting to the point of exhaustion
But now I have been wandering in the park for several hours, and I have been carrying a load of at least 50 pounds for over half an hour, yet I feel absolutely no discomfort
The three little figures in the drawing are all grinning widely, laughing joyfully
I really envy him for being able to accompany Xin Xin to the amusement park; it sounds like his precious daughter is very happy.
It truly evokes jealousy
Shen Chong was thinking that since there were no toys at home, she would probably end up watching television again when they returned. Therefore, he did not avoid the toy sellers like other adults; instead, he actively took Xin Xin to the place where toys were sold
A separate area has been designated within the park for the enclosure of common livestock and poultry such as pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese
Shen Chong himself also found it surprising
Ah? Is it mother?
Putting down the pen, Lin Zhishu opened this recording.
There was once a saying that went, although one has never eaten pork, one has seen pigs run; now it has completely reversed.
I fear that just the toys alone weigh around 20 to 30 pounds, causing the adults nearby who are also with their children to raise their eyebrows in surprise, as they hurriedly pull their own kids away to a distance, afraid that their children might follow suit.
But now his nerves have become somewhat thicker, and he can even analyze this phenomenon with great calmness
Many children in the city, even in their teens, have never seen live livestock and mistakenly believe that pork grows in chunks, leading to various amusing misunderstandings
Shen Chong held his daughter's hand, chuckling, "No, no, Dad is Superman, Superman doesn't get sick, someone must be thinking of Dad."
After hanging up, Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment and directly sent the call recording to Lin Zhishu
The lighting for the photograph is somewhat dim, yet one can still discern his vacant gaze, which has been thoroughly shattered by the trials of reality and the crushing of his ambitions.
If it were not for this sudden determination to send Xinxin over, I probably would not have heard his voice even after several more years
How absurd and ridiculous it is that a man who has fathered a child cannot even remember what his voice sounds like
When the father and daughter arrived at the location, it was just past twelve noon, and Shen Chong decisively took her to eat at McDonald's
I want ... ...
This kind of familial joy, which is so ordinary for typical children, feels so unattainable for my own daughter
Shen Chong briefly explained the situation and then informed her that he was preparing to go to Tianxiang Guose for a visit
Fatigue, in a certain sense, also falls under chronic injury; before one even has the chance to feel tired, it has already been healed
No, I have never contacted him myself; everything has been entrusted to Sister Jiang
The entire afternoon that followed, Xin Xin was simply having a blast.
Is it because blood is thicker than water
Jiang Yuxin thought that President Lin should be sleeping now, and she would be able to see her when she wakes up tomorrow morning
Lin Zhishu picked up his phone again, opened the photo album, and flipped through to find a photo. In it, a man with a blank expression is seen standing outside a bar, dressed in a security uniform.
Is Dad sick? He should wear more clothes
So, is this an additional product that comes with the super strong self-healing ability
After listening, she stood up and lazily stretched, her graceful figure casting a long, lonely shadow under the hotel lights
She was somewhat annoyed, but upon seeing that it was a voice message from Jiang Yufa, her anger dissipated immediately
She turned to the next picture, which is a watercolor painting that Xinxin had recently created, depicting her parents holding hands with a little girl on the grass.
I don't know, it is possible.
Over the years, the time he spent with Xin Xin added up to only a few days, yet he was able to make her so happy in just one short day
Not correct, in fact, we are still strangers now
Upon seeing something fresh, he would ask his beloved daughter if she liked it, and as long as she showed even a slight preference, he would decisively make the purchase
When will I take Xin Xin back to the country
Especially when Xin Xin was tired and did not want to walk, after Shen Chong carried her, the astonished gazes of those around reached their peak
