Gong Kui jumped up happily.
Shi Xiaonian kept standing on the deck, watching the distance shorten little by little. Finally, when the cruise ship stopped at the pier, the stairs were slowly lowered...
"Let's go, take Mr. Gong home!"
Gong Kui shouted excitedly, took Shi Xiaonian's hand and left.
"Slow down, dad and the others haven't come out yet..." Shi Xiaonian was surprised at her daughter's strength. It turned out that Xiaokui's talent and skill points were not added to the dual quotient, but to the strength.
This force is too great.
Everyone hadn't gotten off the boat yet, so Shi Xiaonian had no choice but to take Gong Kui around the pier without going too far.
The pier where it docks is in good order, there are no stores, and its popularity is very average.
Gong Kui stayed on the boat for a long time. When she got off the boat, she jumped up and down.
"Be careful and don't leave my sight."
Shi Xiaonian told her daughter, and the two walked into a store, which contained mostly unique products of this city. Now that the adoptive father has left, it would be a good idea to bring him some gifts.
She picked out the gifts and looked at Gong Kui from time to time, fearing that she would lose her child.
I saw Gong Kui putting her hands behind her back and pacing around the store like a grown-up, looking at this and that in a serious manner.
After a while, she was standing between the two cabinet shelves again.
Shi Xiaonian continued to lower his head to choose gifts and put things into the shopping basket one by one. He looked at Gong Kui again and saw that she was still standing in the middle of the cabinet with her back on her. She didn't know what attracted her to her.
"Please, I want these things."
Shi Xiaonian looked back and stared at Gong Kui's small figure while taking her wallet to pay.
After swiping the card, Shi Xiaonian walked over carrying a shopping bag, "Xiaokui, what are you looking at?"
After choosing for so long, Gong Kui is still standing there, which is not in line with her active character at all.
"Mom, what do you think this is?"
Hearing Shi Xiaonian's voice, Gong Kui turned around, holding up a rectangular coupon with her two chubby little hands, and looked at her brightly and happily with her big eyes.
When Xiao Nian looked towards the middle of the cabinet shelf, there was just a narrow ordinary passage with nothing there.
"Where did you pick it up? Leave it to the counter."
Shi Xiaonian rubbed her little head.
"A little brother gave it to me." Gong Kui shook the coupon in her hand, "He invited us to a masquerade party. Hey, I think he looks so familiar."
As she spoke, Gong Kui tilted her head and thought.
It seems that I have seen it somewhere... but it seems that I have never seen it before.
"Then you agreed?" Shi Xiaonian frowned slightly and took the coupon from Gong Kui's hand.
There are actually four.
The oil paint on it is magnificent, and the writing is spread out in a fan shape: The Alva family's masquerade is looking forward to your presence, and you will not be disappointed.
"Yes, I agreed. The little brother said he would take us around here. He is my new best friend." Gong Kui said innocently.
“…”
We just met and are now good friends
When Xiaonian was holding the invitation letter, she didn't know what to do. Then she heard an unhappy voice, "You didn't know to wait for me when you got off the boat? Where can I find you if I'm betrayed?"
It's Gong Ou.
Shi Xiaonian turned around and saw a handsome Gong Ou walking in with an expressionless Gong Yao. Gong Ou glared at Shi Xiaonian angrily, "Do you know that I have been looking for you for a long time?"
"This store is located in the most conspicuous place on the pier, and you can see it as soon as you get off the boat. How long will it take to find it?" Shi Xiaonian said. She was also measured and would not wander around.
"I don't care, I've just been looking for it for a long time!" Gong Ou insisted.
“…”
"I'm tired of searching, what do you think I should do?" Gong Ou stared at her.
Shi Xiaonian sighed helplessly, "Then what do you want to do?"
"Two extra dishes for dinner today! No, three!"
“…”
She knew it.
She tried her best not to let Gong Ou overeat, but Gong Ou desperately wanted to eat more of the dishes she cooked.
Wouldn't he get tired of eating the food she cooked every day
"I also want to eat the food cooked by Mom." Gong Kui shook Shi Xiaonian's hand, her voice was tender and sweet.
"No!" Gong Ou looked down at his daughter and refused directly, "Shi Xiaonian is so tired from cooking, you can just eat the chef's cooking. It's very nutritious."
“…”
Then why didn't he think she was tired when he asked her to cook two more dishes? Here in Gong Ou, when it comes to teaching by words and deeds, sharing will definitely not teach the children.
Gong Kui lowered her head depressedly.
Shi Xiaonian held her little hand and winked at her slyly. Gong Kui's little face immediately had a bright smile again.
This is a little secret between Shi Xiaonian and the children, secretly opening a small stove for them to eat.
"Shi Xiaonian, did you hear that?" Gong Ou raised his hand and turned Shi Xiaonian's face in dissatisfaction, staring at her with his dark eyes, "I'm very tired of looking for you, you have to make it up to me!"
"Okay, okay, I know."
Shi Xiaonian complied obediently.
"That's okay!" Gong Ou curled his lips in success, stepped forward and picked up Gong Kui, and grabbed Shi Xiaonian's hand with his other hand, "You go alone."
This was said to Gong Yao.
"Um."
Gong Yao followed them silently without arguing or making any fuss.
"Let's go to Alva's house now to talk about Mr. Palace." Gong Ou said with a low voice.
The four people walking on the cement floor of the pier were a particularly eye-catching sight. Many passers-by stopped and looked at the outstanding-looking Dongfang family of four.
This family has long been accustomed to other people's eyes and is calm and composed.
"Now?" Shi Xiaonian frowned, "But Xiaokui promised a friend she just met that she would go to a masquerade party."
"That's it!" Gong Kui was hugged by Gong Ou and excitedly raised the four invitation coupons in her hand, "I promised my little brother that I would go early. He said he would greet us at the door!"
"It's getting dark, and it's almost time for the dance to begin."
Shi Xiaonian bit her lip and said, feeling a little worried.
Talking about Mr. Palace at this time will definitely miss the entrance time for the dance. Although she is anxious to find Mr. Palace, she and Gong Ou will never let their children break their appointments. This is the minimum respect.
Of course Gong Ou knew what Shi Xiaonian was thinking. He lowered his eyes and looked at the daughter in his arms, "You agreed without asking if we were free?"
Gong Kui leaned on his shoulder with weak eyes, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, my little brother really wants me to go, and I don't want to disappoint him."
"What about Mr. Palace?"
"I also want to find Mr. Gong." Gong Kui's voice became even softer, "Then, let's not go to the dance."
Knowing that the two things cannot be done at the same time, Gong Kui decided to bear the pain and cut off Wu Wu.
Mr Palace is more important.
"Just decline according to the phone number on the invitation."
Gong Yao stood behind them and made suggestions.
Shi Xiaonian took the invitation letter, took a look at it, and sighed, "There is no phone number. How about we go to the host's house and talk to the little boy first, and then go to Mr. Palace."
Gong Ou hugged Gong Kui, glanced at the invitation in her hand with his dark eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I don't need to look at it anymore."
"ah?"
Shi Xiaonian was at a loss.
After that, Shi Xiaonian knew what Gong Ou meant.
The address of the masquerade is the address where they want to find Mr. Palace.
Sometimes, things are just such a coincidence that you have to believe in fate.
No wonder Gong Kui said that the little boy looked familiar. She had met that little boy on Moonlight Rock, and Gong Kui had seen it in photos.
…
Without wasting any more time, as soon as the Gong family's car was unloaded from the cruise ship, they got in the car and headed towards Alva's house.
This city was not like the places that Shi Xiaonian was used to spending a lot of time in. The roads were rarely straight, and the houses faced different directions. Going around in this city felt like entering a huge maze.
The ancient city with Western historical colors looks majestic and particularly magnificent.
When Xiaonian was sitting in the car looking outside, admiring the buildings passing by, she suddenly had the urge to draw comics.
"What are you thinking about?"
Gong Ou came close to her, hugged her slender body, and rested his chin on her shoulder.
"I'm thinking that I want to draw a comic to record every detail of this trip. When I get older in the future, I will be very emotional when I read it back." Shi Xiaonian looked out the window and said.
Hearing this, a faint light flashed across Gong Ou's eyes, and his thin lips pressed against her ears, "Then give me a copy of the 18-ban edition, which will be kept secret."
"..." Shi Xiaonian's head was full of black lines, "What are you thinking about?"
Why did his mouth turn so romantic when he heard such romantic things
"I will also look back and reflect on it when I am older."
Gong Ou said seriously.
“…”
When Shi Xiaonian put her hand over his mouth, it was better for him not to speak. She immediately lost the inspiration to draw comics.
Gong Ou kissed her palm and swiped the tip of his tongue. Shi Xiaonian's whole arm felt like it had been struck by electric shock, numbing her and she immediately withdrew it.
She glared at him.
He looked at her fondly.
She stared again.
His eyes became more doting, and the curve of his thin lips was completely harmless.
“…”
This person is really... I don’t know how to describe it.
Shi Xiaonian was too lazy to pay attention to him. She pressed her face against the car window and looked at the scenery passing by outside. Gong Ou said dissatisfiedly, "Am I good-looking outside?"
Can you be jealous
"No." Shi Xiaonian said, "I was just thinking that we should go to the dance first and not talk about Mr. Palace as soon as we get there."
"Are you afraid that they won't admit it and hide Mr. Gong?"
Gong Ou asked.
Shi Xiaonian thought of the shy smile of the boy on Moonlight Rock and said, "I don't think a family that can teach such polite children would do such a thing, but... I'm really afraid that my hope will fail again."
She wanted to see Mr. Gong so much that she didn't want to experience disappointment again.
"Then let's go look for Mr. Palace first." Gong Ou said, "It should be easy to find them now that they are unprepared."
"Um."
Shi Xiaonian nodded.
While the two were talking, the car had stopped in front of a huge ancient villa. Ancient Roman columns supported the entire building, and the lines on them were engraved with traces of history...
There was a sign for the masquerade at the door.
Someone stood at the door with a smile on his face to greet the guests.
Seeing their car stop, someone immediately came forward to open the door for them, "Mr., Mrs.... eh?"
The other person obviously didn't know them. (To be continued)
