Every time Guan Ze brought Lu Teng to the amusement park, they had to stay there for the whole day and eat lunch in the amusement park. So today, when he said he wanted to have lunch with Ning Juan, Lu Teng refused to step out of the amusement park, so they could only wait for Ning Juan to come in on the grass in the rest area near the gate.
Lin Yao remained calm. Although his mind was full of thoughts on how to suppress Guan Ze, he still forced himself to take some time out of his busy schedule to seriously think about the relationship between Guan Ze and Ning Juan.
Ning Juan is definitely much closer to Guan Ze than the ordinary siblings. In Guan Ze's heart, she might be his biological sister, and because he has a lame leg, his biological sister, no matter how this sister treats him, he can probably tolerate it.
Lin Yao looked at Guan Ze who was patiently playing the number guessing game with Lu Teng using some plum pits. It was hard to tell anything about this man's character, but it was obvious that he was very tolerant. No matter how he annoyed him, he never even frowned, let alone Ning Juan.
But... apart from these, Guan Ze should have no other thoughts about Ning Juan. As for what Ning Juan thinks, it is not within his consideration for the time being.
Well, Lin Yao, you are really an excellent young man who is able to remain calm in times of crisis.
Lin Yao chuckled at his shoes, praised himself quietly, then grabbed a cigarette and squatted next to the trash can to smoke it.
"Brother," Lu Teng ran to him and held out his clenched fist, "Guess."
"Three." Lin Yao glanced at his fist, the plum pits sticking out from the side.
"That's right!" Lu Teng was very happy. He took out a White Rabbit from his pocket and gave it to him. "Brother, blow a bubble for me."
"What bubbles are you talking about?" Lin Yao was stunned. "Where do you think I can make bubbles for you?"
"Dad can do it," Lu Teng was a little disappointed, and turned to look at Guan Ze, "Dad, just blow some bubbles for brother to see."
Lin Yao also turned his head. Guan Ze spit bubbles? How? As for snot bubbles, when he had a cold as a child, he could produce one when he sneezed. One bubble came out with each sneeze. Lin Zong squatted beside him and counted patiently. At most, he sneezed seven times and produced four bubbles.
"Spit one out and let's see." Lin Yao stared at Guan Ze with great interest.
Guan Ze smiled, somewhat helplessly: "Do you want to learn?"
"Spit." Lin Yao raised his chin, "Let me judge the technical difficulty first."
Guan Ze didn't say anything, but opened his mouth. Lin Yao saw that he rolled his tongue flexibly, and a bubble appeared on the tip of his tongue. Then he blew gently, and the bubble actually floated out from the tip of his tongue, shining in the sunlight and falling on the grass.
"I... Shit," Lin Yao forgot to smoke the cigarette in his mouth, partly because of Guan Ze's sexy move that he thought was full of teasing, and partly because, damn, he could really blow bubbles like this, "You are amazing."
"My dad is awesome, isn't he?" Lu Teng looked at him proudly, "Brother, can you do it?"
"No." Lin Yao squatted down and hugged Lu Teng, suddenly feeling a little depressed.
This kid's father has special skills, and Ning Juan, who grew up with the kid's father, might also have special skills. Apart from being extremely unlucky, which is unmatched by anyone... it seems that I don't have any special skills
"Brother can blow smoke rings." Guan Ze smiled.
"Oh, yes," Lin Yao patted his legs. He learned to smoke just for fun. He touched Lu Teng's head and said, "I can blow smoke rings. How many do you want?"
"One hundred!" Lu Teng was also very excited about the smoke rings and said as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lin Yao choked and coughed for a long time before raising his hands: "Son, you can't do this. Your dad just spit out a bubble of saliva and you want me to blow a hundred smoke rings?"
"Then... you can spray one too." Lu Teng was quite easy to talk to.
"I'll give you ten, count them." Lin Yao took a long puff of the cigarette and began to blow smoke rings slowly.
Normally, Lin Yao blew smoke rings casually, only for fun when he was bored. But now, in order to perform better in front of Lu Teng, he felt that his posture was as cautious as if he was trying to light a bomb with a cigarette in his mouth.
Lin Yao blew out three very round smoke rings in succession. Lu Teng's eyes suddenly widened. He stared at him without daring to breathe, and did not forget to count on his fingers.
After blowing out six puffs, there was no more cigarette in his mouth. Lin Yao quickly took another puff and blew out the remaining four. Finally, he used a thin line of smoke to pass through the smoke ring, thus completing the performance perfectly.
"So awesome!" Lu Teng clapped his hands and shouted.
"It must be amazing." Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief, put out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can.
Before Lin Yao had time to brag to Lu Teng in detail, Guan Ze's phone rang. Lin Yao glanced at him. He hadn't noticed it just now. When did the ringtone change? It wasn't Doraemon when Lu Teng called in the morning.
"We're on the grass in the rest area near the entrance. Come over and you'll see us." Guan Ze hung up the phone, stood up, walked to Lin Yao, and patted him on the back. "I'll go over and take a look. She said she bought something for Lu Teng. I don't know what it is because her legs are not convenient."
"Yeah." Lin Yao nodded, pulled Lu Teng to sit on the bench next to him, and watched Guan Ze's figure slowly melt into the crowd.
"Who's coming?" Lu Teng twisted and turned on the bench and crawled into Lin Yao's arms.
"A..." Lin Yao thought for a long time, "An aunt."
"Oh, Auntie," Lu Teng continued to twist, "Is this your girlfriend?"
"…No," Lin Yao glanced at him, "You're awesome. You call your brother's girlfriend auntie?"
"Is that my father's girlfriend?" Lu Teng asked again.
Lin Yao was shocked by Lu Teng's judgment. His heart was instantly filled with boiling high-quality aged vinegar, bubbling. He gritted his teeth and said, "Of course not!"
Your daddy is mine! He is mine!
"Coming!" After twisting his body for a while, Lu Teng suddenly pointed towards the gate and shouted.
Lin Yao was originally looking down and carefully studying the bucket on his fingers. When he heard the shout, he quickly raised his head and saw Guan Ze walking towards him with a beautifully packaged large blue box, followed by a woman.
This is Ning Juan. Lin Yao stared at her face for a few seconds. She was indeed very beautiful. Unlike those little girls in the office who were laughing and joking all day long, she had a very mature vibe.
It was obvious that she was limping, but when she walked over, no one would pay special attention to her legs. Lin Yao stood up. This woman seemed... not bad
"Lin Yao, my friend," Guan Ze walked up to him and introduced him to Ning Juan, then looked at Lin Yao, "This is my sister, Ning Juan."
"Hello, Sister Ning." Lin Yao smiled. Hearing Guan Ze introduce him as a friend instead of a colleague made him feel good, although what he wanted to hear more was that this was my boyfriend.
"Hello," Ning Juan smiled and stretched out her hand, "I thought it was a girl, but Guan Ze actually hangs out with a little boy."
"I'm more fun than that little girl." Lin Yao stretched out his hand and shook hers.
Guan Ze tapped Lu Teng on the forehead again: "Lu Teng, call me auntie."
"Hello, Auntie." Lu Teng called out obediently, his eyes fixed on the big box in Guan Ze's hand.
"You're so good. Auntie bought you a toy." Ning Juan took the box from Guan Ze and placed it on the grass in front of Lu Teng. "Open it and see if you like it?"
"Thank you, Auntie." Lu Teng squatted down immediately with great anticipation. When he was about to open it, he looked up at Guan Ze again, "Dad..."
Guan Ze nodded, and then he happily lowered his head and began to open the box.
Ning Juan bought Lu Teng a remote-controlled sports car, which was big and red. Lu Teng liked it very much at first sight, and started playing with it after installing the batteries. Lin Yao looked at Ning Juan who was smiling, and felt a little uncomfortable.
Damn, women are really different. He had never thought that this was the first time he met little Lu Teng, and he should buy him a gift or something. Now the relationship he and Lu Teng had cultivated for the whole morning was instantly snatched away by half by this little car!
Where can I seek justice
Guan Ze didn’t even know to remind him!
Of course, Guan Ze would never say something like "buy a gift for my son"...
Guan Ze took out his phone and said as he pressed the button, "It's almost time. Let's go to the restaurant now. If there are too many people later, the food will be served too slowly."
"Okay." Ning Juan nodded and stood beside Guan Ze naturally.
Lin Yao was very worried. Should he stand on the other side of Guan Ze? It felt a bit strange, but he couldn't go over. Where should he stand
The text message on his cell phone rang, and he took it out to take a look. The sender of the text message was Hengdao, and the content was just one sentence: Lu Teng likes to assemble models.
Lin Yao felt relieved at once. Guan Ze probably saw his depression.
Damn, even this could be discovered, my skills must be too shallow!
"Brother, help me drive," Lu Teng ran to Lin Yao with the remote control, "I always drive crookedly if I drive by myself."
"Well," Lin Yao took the remote control and drove the car forward along the road. In order to let Lu Teng see clearly how he was operating, he could only bend down, "Look, to drive in a straight line, you have to do this..."
Lu Teng solved the embarrassment of not knowing where to stand, but the scene was very sad. He was bending over and sticking out his butt, playing with the remote control car in front with Lu Teng, while Guan Ze and Ning Juan were following slowly behind them side by side.
Halfway through, he took the opportunity to teach Lu Teng how to drift to glance back a few times. Ning Juan didn't hold Guan Ze's arm like she did last time they had dinner. Maybe she only did that when she was alone with Guan Ze, but even without holding each other's arms, they looked very comfortable. That feeling of familiarity at first glance is not easy to get.
Lin Yao was a little discouraged. To be honest, no one would doubt that these two were husband and wife.
"Lin Yao looks quite young," Ning Juan looked at Lin Yao's back, "You still have friends of the same age."
"Well, being with him..." Guan Ze thought for a moment and smiled, "It makes me feel relaxed."
"Really?" Ning Juan smiled and looked thoughtfully at Lin Yao and Lu Teng who were running around following the car.
"Let me play." Guan Ze clapped his hands.
"Your son is trying to do a figure eight," Lin Yao turned around and handed the remote control to him, sweat on the tip of his nose, "It's really exhausting."
Guan Ze walked in front of them. Lu Teng marched in step and insisted that the car circle back and forth under his feet as he took steps. Guan Ze controlled the car very attentively.
Lin Yao walked two steps slower. They couldn't all three of them go out to play with the car and leave Ning Juan alone behind.
"Wipe the sweat." Ning Juan handed over a tissue.
"Thank you, Sister Ning." Lin Yao wiped his face. Ning Juan smiled very kindly, like a sister. If it weren't for Guan Ze, he would be willing to talk to Ning Juan. It's a pity that ever since he knew Ning Juan's feelings for Guan Ze and had messed up her legs for Guan Ze, he didn't know how to deal with this woman.
"Just graduated?" Ning Juan looked at him.
"Yeah." Lin Yao nodded.
"Colleagues from Guanze Company?" Ning Juan smiled and asked again.
Lin Yao opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. Damn, Guan Ze had already said that they were friends, but she could actually guess that they were colleagues
"No," Lin Yao sniffed, "Just friends."
"Guan Ze doesn't have many friends who are willing to hang out like this," Ning Juan looked at him, "You two must have a pretty good relationship."
"Yes," Lin Yao grinned. Of course it was good. He almost blurted out that he had just finished having sex. How could it be wrong? He quickly cleared his throat and said, "It's good enough to be considered quite good."
It was not until they arrived at the restaurant that Guan Ze handed the remote control to Lu Teng and turned around. Lin Yao hurried over. He was chatting with Ning Juan in the back and was sweating.
"How can you have a forehead full of sweat just by walking?" Guan Ze looked at him and raised his hand as if he wanted to touch his face, but put it down when he saw Ning Juan.
"Get lost." Lin Yao walked into the restaurant and whispered in his ear as he brushed past him, bumping into him on the shoulder.
Guan Ze smiled and said nothing. He picked up the cart on the ground and looked at Ning Juan: "Go in."
After sitting down in the restaurant, Guan Ze took Lu Teng to wash his hands while Lin Yao and Ning Juan flipped through the menu.
"Have you known Guan Ze for a long time?" Ning Juan looked at the menu and suddenly asked casually.
"Not long." Lin Yao looked at her.
"I don't think we've known each other for too long," Ning Juan smiled, "I haven't even heard him mention you."
This made Lin Yao feel uncomfortable. It seemed that Guan Ze would report to Ning Juan whoever he met. He flipped through the menu and said, "Is that so? I always like to tell my mom about my new friends."
After saying this, Lin Yao waited for Ning Juan's reaction. Ning Juan was stunned for a moment, her expression a little stiff, but soon she put on a gentle smile: "That's not what I meant."
"Hmm? That's what I mean." Lin Yao also grinned.
The atmosphere was quite awkward and neither of them spoke. When Guan Ze came back with Lu Teng in his arms, Lin Yao was studying the menu with his face covered as if he was in class.
"Haven't you ordered yet?" Guan Ze sat down, looked at Ning Juan and asked, then took the menu from Lin Yao and looked at it in his hand.
"You order. Don't you always bring Lu Teng here to eat?" Ning Juan put down the menu in her hand.
"Lin Yao." Guan Ze tapped the cup in front of Lin Yao with his fingers.
"Chopped pepper fish head." Lin Yao announced the name of the dish while holding up his chin.
Guan Ze was waving for the waiter to come over. When he heard the name of the dish, he hesitated. Ning Juan didn't eat spicy food, not even a little bit. But after thinking about it, he decided to ask the waiter for a chopped pepper fish head. Ning Juan said, "It's okay."
Guan Ze glanced at her. They didn't just order this one dish, so he didn't plan to ask Ning Juan's opinion. If it were usual, Ning Juan, who was always very sensible, would not say such a thing so abruptly. Today she was a little strange.
"Sister Ning doesn't eat spicy food? Then change it to something non-spicy." Lin Yao came back to his senses. No matter how unhappy he was, he had to be more considerate to women. This was what his mother taught him since he was a child. No matter how bad the food was, as long as his mother said she liked it, the three men in their family could eat it for a week without complaining.
"No thanks." Guan Ze signaled to the waiter and ordered a few non-spicy dishes.
"Auntie," Lu Teng drank tea from the cup, "what happened to your leg?"
Lin Yao was lying on the table, glancing at Guan Ze with pleasure, but turned his head when he heard this. This leg was the heaviest price Ning Juan had to pay for Guan Ze. How would Ning Juan answer
Guan Ze was very calm and didn't have any special reaction.
"When I was a child, I was not careful when walking and fell down." Ning Juan smiled at Lu Teng and said it lightly.
"You are dad's sister, didn't he take you to get treatment?" Lu Teng could only understand this much at his age. "Dad said he would take me to get my leg treated when I was older."
This sentence finally made Guan Ze change his mind. Lin Yao saw him frown and there was obvious guilt in his eyes when he looked at Ning Juan.
"It was cured, but the medical conditions were not good at that time, so it was not cured." Ning Juan looked at Guan Ze, then turned to look at Lu Teng, "Your leg will definitely be cured."
Lin Yao was very depressed during the meal and hardly spoke a word. He suddenly felt that he understood the real meaning of Qi Jian's words "the opponent is too strong".
Maybe Guan Ze will never be able to have any feelings for Ning Juan other than that of a sister, but for a person like him, if Ning Juan does not let go, the fact that Ning Juan's family gave him warmth in Guan Ze's darkest time, and the fact that Ning Juan could have fallen to her death, will be a rope tied to Guan Ze's heart, and Guan Ze will feel pain as long as she pulls it.
"Sorry, I'll be out of the way for a moment." Lin Yao stood up, turned around, and quickly walked across the hall into the bathroom.
When Guan Ze followed into the bathroom, there was no one there. Lin Yao was posing like Popeye in front of the mirror.
Seeing Guan Ze coming in, he was very surprised. He didn't even bother to put away his rather majestic posture. He crossed his arms and stiffened his neck and asked, "Why did you come in too?"
"Come in and see what you look like after eating spinach." Guan Ze smiled.
"You're crazy," Lin Yao retracted his arm. "I'm coming in, and you're coming in too. How are you going to explain this to your dear sister?"
"What do you want to explain?" Guan Ze washed his hands and looked at him in the mirror. "There's nothing to explain. I just want to see what's wrong with you."
To be honest, Lin Yao was very moved by Guan Ze's words. The feeling of being spoiled made him want to jump over and hug Guan Ze and hang on him and never get down.
He scratched his hair and sighed: "Give me some confidence. Why do I feel so powerless in front of Ning Juan? You are an excellent director now. I have no chance to let my dad save you from this gangster career..."
"I've never been a hooligan." Guan Ze wanted to laugh.
"You live a regular life and don't cause any trouble. I don't have the chance to jump off the third floor..."
"Lin Yao." Guan Ze frowned, turned around and stood in front of him.
"Why should I?" Lin Yao looked at him.
"Since I just gave in to you two hours ago," Guan Ze pinched his neck gently, "Since we had known each other for less than half a year when I was planning to give in to you, is that enough?"
