Hello, How Long Has This Been Going On? - Chapter 69
The little boy holding a strawberry-flavored cone, his eyes lit up when he saw the man running over, wiped the tears from his face, and waved at him vigorously.
Seeing the child’s reaction, Huo Ran and the staff heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, luckily they didn’t really get lost.
“I’m sorry to trouble you all. I was careless just now and didn’t notice that Tiantian was gone.”
The young man thanked them sincerely, the broken hair on his forehead was wet with sweat, and he seemed to have found a way.
The staff told him a few words to look after the child, and he quickly left to go about his own business.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Huo Ran was about to turn around and leave when he heard the man behind him calling him.
“Hi, did you find Tiantian?”
Huo Ran looked down, and it turned out that the little boy was telling the young man the whole story in sign language, looking at him shyly with bright eyes.
“He said thank you for the cone, it was delicious.”
“It’s okay, it’s easy.”
Huo Ran smiled at the little boy, and couldn’t help reminding the careless parent: “The kid can’t talk, and it will be very troublesome if he really gets lost. Next time, be more careful.”
“It’s my fault. I came out in a hurry today. I should have asked someone to help me take it with me…”
The young man’s expression was very ashamed, “It’s a good thing Tiantian met you, otherwise I wouldn’t know where to find him.”
The temperature in August is still very summer, Huo Ran glanced at the two remaining cones in his hand, and found that after such a delay, the ice cream began to melt.
And the person in front of him seemed very familiar, talking non-stop.
“It’s the first time for Tiantian and the others to come to such a big amusement park, so it’s my fault that I didn’t teach them what to do if they get lost…”
Huo Ran grasped the point accurately: “They? Are there any other children?”
“Yes, they are all children from special schools.”
The young man turned his head, and Huo Ran followed him, and saw a group of children standing quietly under the shade of a tree not far away, holding hands and leaning together.
It seems that he is a teacher of a special school. He is kind enough to take the children out to play during holidays.
Huo Ran secretly sighed in his heart, his gaze was involuntarily attracted by the people passing by.
Why are the ice cream cones in their hands two colors?
The young man observed his expression, and suddenly said: “Although it’s a bit presumptuous, I seem to have seen you somewhere…”
At the same time, Huo Ran said, “Excuse me, can you do me a favor?”
The young man froze for a moment, then immediately showed a warm smile and nodded slightly, “Say, I will definitely help.”
“I want to buy a few more cones. Let the children eat these two. It just so happens that Tiantian also took one.”
Before the young man could react, Huo Ran handed him the cone, and said goodbye politely: “Thank you, goodbye.”
He turned around and walked towards the cold drink stand, leaving only the young man standing there holding two cones with a blank expression on his face, while the little boy next to him was very happy and waved happily at Huo Ran’s back.
The smile he saw just now gave Huo Ran a very subtle sense of weirdness.
Huo Ran had no impression of this person’s appearance, but the overly eager expression on his face, as if he wanted to lend a helping hand, always made him feel like he had seen it somewhere.
The stranger who stood in front of the supermarket shelf in a daze and asked him if he wanted to help had been completely forgotten by him.
After thinking about it for a while, Huo Ran simply gave up without coming to any conclusion.
Another ten minutes later, he held three fresh strawberry milk double-twist ice cream cones, and non-stop returned to the carousel.
However, Tao Zhiyue and Huo Sihan had already dismounted from the spinning seahorse, and were leaning against the railing, chatting and waiting for him.
Huo Ran was very sorry, and handed over two cones: “Is this the end?”
“Yes, it only takes five minutes to go around. Why did you buy an ice cream and use it for so long? I thought you got lost.”
“How do you know I went to buy ice cream?” Huo Ran was surprised.
“Nonsense, I knew what you wanted when I saw the way you looked at the ice cream just now.” Huo Sihan dismissively said, “Brother Zhizhi also saw it, right?”
“Yes.” Tao Zhiyu nodded in agreement, “You must be greedy for a cone in a child’s hand.”
“I didn’t, I’m not as naive as you.”
“Then you just want to take this opportunity to take an ugly picture of us eating cones and sitting on seahorses.” Huo Sihan said to the point.
Huo Ran was speechless.
Tao Zhiyue commented to the point: “This seems to be more childish.”
“…” Huo Ran’s eyes faltered, “Which event should we play next? I don’t think there are many people queuing up for the big slide right now. This one is also ranked very high in the strategy.”
“Don’t change the subject, so why have you been there for so long? Seriously!”
“It’s a long story. I was helping others just now, and then I met a puppet who kept talking to me. The ice cream melted, so I had to go back and buy it again.”
“What is a talking puppet? Why don’t you say that you met Santa Claus who tricked you into eating cones?”
“It’s called a metaphor, it’s a rhetorical technique, Huo Sihan, have you ever taken a Chinese class?”
“Brother Zhizhi is killing me!!”
The strawberry milk ice cream is delicious, and the thick sweetness melts in the mouth.
Tao Zhiyue held the cone in his hand and repeated with a smile: “It makes sense, so what is a talking puppet?”
The sun was just right, and the pink and white double-spin ice cream began to melt gradually, and the pink and white milk slid all the way down, dripping onto the back of the hand.
Huo Ran looked at him, dazed for a moment, then quickly pecked him on the face.
“Forget it, it’s not important.”
Huo Sihan reacted quickly, cupped his face and screamed.
“Ah, ah, you can’t abuse dogs at such a close distance! It’s breaking the law for you!!”
As she spoke, she showed a little longing look from between her fingers: “But it’s not impossible to do it again…”
“You’re dreaming.” Huo Ran gave her a chestnut backhand, “Eat it quickly, it’s all melted.”
“What do you want to play next?” He turned his head and asked Tao Zhiyue.
The more Tao Zhi thought about it, he suggested: “Play the crazy maelstrom again? I think it’s quite fun, and then I can go to the restaurant for lunch, and then I will think about what to do in the afternoon.”
Huo Ran readily agreed: “Okay, I’ll carry the rubber boat.”
“You just rejected my request to play again!” Huo Sihan protested, “This is a double standard, double standard, double standard…!”
Huo Ran sneered: “Did you only find out now? Light bulbs.”
“Huo Ran, you have no heart!”
“After all, I’m just a humanoid self-propelled cash machine, why do I have a heart?”
“…hateful.”
Tao Zhiyue listened to the bickering between the two with a smile in his eyes.
Staying near the spinning seahorse in a fairy tale world, everyone finished eating the cones and went back to the crazy maelstrom.
A staff member walked past with a bunch of balloons behind him, just blocking the line of sight. The colorful balloons fluttered in the air, attracting the surprised eyes of the children.
The balloon is dragged away by the long rope, and the children are at the end of the spinning seahorse team, still looking back enviously.
Some children gestured silently to their companions, some kept a slightly dull expression, and some were physically incompetent.
Tourists queuing up saw this group of special children and signaled for them to play first.
The young man thanked them one by one, and then smiled and hugged the children one by one.
The young lady in the staff uniform immediately came over to help, with a shy expression on her face.
It was amazing at noon today, I met so many handsome men and beauties all at once.
After all the children sat down and checked the seat belts, the staff pressed the start button, lively and cheerful music sounded, the hippocampus rotated at a constant speed, and white waves surged at the feet.
Young men leaning against the guardrail, taking pictures of their novel faces.
The idle staff summoned up the courage to strike up a conversation with him: “Are you a teacher?”
“No, I’m a volunteer.”
“Wow, that’s amazing.” The staff couldn’t help but exclaimed.
Not only is he good-looking, but he is also very loving.
The young man was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, lowered his eyes and shook his head: “I just help out occasionally.”
“Bringing the children out to play today, is it a school activity?”
When talking about children, his voice became very soft: “This week they wrote essays and my wishes. Some children wrote that they really wanted to go to the amusement park. I heard what the teacher said, so I decided to bring them here today.”
“But it was too hasty, I didn’t prepare enough, and I almost lost a child just now.” He blamed himself, “I should call another teacher to come with me.”
The staff quickly comforted him: “It’s okay, you are kind, and when you play other projects, you can say hello to other staff, and they will help take a look.”
“By the way, the facilities in this area are more exciting except for the rotating seahorse. There will be more projects suitable for children in the children’s area, and there will be more staff. I recommend you to play there.”
The staff enthusiastically offered ideas and pointed in the direction.
The young man looked over, and it was the place where he brought the children.
“Thank you, I’ll take them there in a moment.”
He knew that was the children’s area over there.
But just now, a strange intuition popped up in his mind, as if he should come here.
At this moment, there were crowds of people around, and it was very lively, but there was still a sense of regret in his heart.
He seemed to be missing something again.
“You’re welcome.” The staff waved their hands and continued to try to find a topic, “Your accent doesn’t seem like a local?”
“No, I’m graduating soon, and I’m here for an internship in a hospital in northern Shanxi.” The young man explained, “I heard that the climate here is very good, and there are a lot of delicious food and fun, but I haven’t been here for long, so I’m not familiar with it.”
“So you are a doctor!”
The staff’s eyes brightened.
A young and handsome doctor, very talkative, likes children, very caring, he is simply a perfect person.
It’s a pity that this round of spinning seahorse music has come to an end, and the handsome guy is leaving with the children.
“If you don’t mind, can you add a friend?” The staff blushed and said, “I know this place very well, you can ask me where you want to go, and if you bring so many children over next time, I can help you apply for special escort.”
The young man nodded and smiled gratefully at her: “That’s great, thank you.”
After getting the handsome guy’s contact information, the staff was very happy. Before saying goodbye, she finally asked.
“Well… what should I call you?”
The young man held the child’s hand and looked back at her, like an illusory shadow under the sunlight.
“My name is Shen Nian, Nian of Miss.”
