In front of a lawn in the wetland park, there were several claw machines. Chen Yiran and Li Linlin passed by the claw machines and stopped.
Li Linlin also stopped with him, looked at him and said, "What's wrong?"
"Wait for me." After Chen Yiran said this, he walked to the claw machine, scanned the QR code, and the claw machine moved. Li Linlin walked up curiously and stood by to watch him grab the doll.
Li Linlin usually goes shopping and plays with the doll machine when she sees it, but she rarely catches it. Chen Yiran had the same operation as her. It seemed that she just flipped the joystick, but the doll was firmly clamped and fell into the hole precisely.
Chen Yiran bent down and took out the doll, and handed it to Li Linlin beside him: "This is for you."
What he was holding was a white dog, similar to the Samoyed that was rubbing against Li Linlin on the road just now. The white puppy sticks out its tongue and has a cute flush on its face. The white fluff is long and soft, and it feels very good when rubbed.
"It's so cute! Thank you, brother Yiran!" Li Linlin liked this plush puppy very much, and her mood was no longer as low as before.
Chen Yiran smiled a little, looked at Li Linlin and said, "This puppy won't grow old and die, it will always be by your side."
Chen Yiran's words were like a warm current, soothing the pain in Li Linlin's heart. The last time Assistant Wu told her that Chen Yiran was not so unkind, and she was right.
He has always had his own tenderness about him.
"Thank you." Li Linlin smiled at him, "I will take good care of it. Well, let's give it a name."
Chen Yiran suggested, "Let's call it cotton candy."
The first time he saw it, it looked like cotton candy.
Li Linlin's eyes were bright: "Okay! But there is only one marshmallow, it will be lonely, let's help it find some friends!"
Chen Yiran: "..."
Chen Yiran stood back in front of the doll machine and clicked on the phone to scan the code.
"I want the pink bunny next to me. Yes, that's the one." Li Linlin stood next to Chen Yiran and handed him the doll she wanted. , Li Linlin has already held a lot in her hands.
She put the dolls that Chen Yiran clipped for her on the grass next to her, and counted them next to each other: "Heaven, there are actually eight! Brother Yiran, you are too powerful."
"It's okay." Compared with Li Linlin's excitement, Chen Yiran seemed very calm, as if this was a normal performance.
"How can you be so powerful?" Li Linlin believed that if Chen Yiran had enough patience and time, he could empty the doll in the machine.
Chen Yiran said: "I knew how to play these things when I was in elementary school. In fact, as long as I master the tricks, it is very easy."
"Ow, can you teach me?"
"No, since it's a trick, it can't be spread."
"嘁… "
Chen Yiran stepped forward and patted the top of her head, smiled and said to her, "I will help you to clamp the doll machine in the future."
"Okay!" Li Linlin was happy, and she was a little worried as she faced the row of dolls on the grass, "But how do I get it back?"
"Let's each take half." Chen Yiran bent down and picked up the larger doll, leaving the remaining four small dolls to Li Linlin.
Li Linlin held the doll in her arms, her steps became brisk, and she walked to Yinwan with Chen Yiran without realizing it.
"Brother Yiran, I'm here."
"Well." Chen Yiran nodded and asked her, "Do you want me to take you up there? It's not easy for you to take it alone."
"No, no." Li Linlin was afraid that he would find Lu Ruizhou and the others who lived on the opposite side, so she quickly refused, "There is a trailer at the property, I'll just use the trailer to tow it up."
"Alright then, I'll accompany you in."
Chen Yiran walked in with Li Linlin. When the property on duty in the lobby saw them coming in, they took the initiative to walk over and ask for help: "Miss Li, do you need our help?"
Li Linlin said, "I remember you guys have that kind of shopping cart, right? I want to borrow it."
"Okay, wait a minute." The property pushed a car from the front desk, and Li Linlin and Chen Yiran put all the toys in their hands.
"Okay." Li Linlin smiled and said to Chen Yiran, "It's resolved, you should go back first."
This is actually a bit strange. Yinwan was originally Chen Yiran's house, but now several of them live here, with Lu Ruizhou and others on the opposite side, it is really inconvenient to invite Chen Yiran to go up and sit down.
Fortunately, Chen Yiran didn't want to go up and take a seat, and just nodded to Li Linlin. He was about to say something when he heard a child's voice coming: "Sister Linlin!"
Li Linlin and Chen Yiran looked over together and saw a little boy who looked like a primary school student and ran towards them.
Li Linlin's heart skipped a beat, the straight was over, how could she meet Lu Yuxuan by such a coincidence!
"Sister Linlin." However, the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same. Lu Yuxuan greeted Li Linlin cheerfully, "Are you back?"
"Uh-huh… "
"Wow, did you buy so many dolls? So cute!"
Chen Yiran looked at the little guy who appeared beside him, and asked Li Linlin, "Do you know this kid?"
Li Linlin said quickly: "Oh, he is the resident who lives across the door from us."
"Leadership?" Chen Yiran repeated these two words thoughtfully.
Lu Yuxuan looked up at Chen Yiran and asked Li Linlin, "Sister Linlin, is this uncle your friend?"
Chen Yiran: "..."
Why is he a senior
"Yes, yes." The cold sweat on Li Linlin's back was about to drip, and people really can't do bad things, "He's Xixi's brother."
"Oh, it turned out to be Uncle Chen." Lu Yuxuan raised his head to look at Chen Yiran and greeted him, "Hello Uncle Chen."
"..." Chen Yiran, who was used to Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen, was very uncomfortable with the name Uncle Chen.
He reluctantly greeted Lu Yuxuan and left Yinwan. Li Linlin let out a sigh of relief when she watched him go out.
Lu Yuxuan said, "Sister Linlin, let's go up."
"well."
"I'll help you push the cart!"
"No, no, I'll do it myself."
"It's okay! I can!"
Lu Yuxuan pushed Li Linlin's cart and followed her into the elevator. Li Linlin swiped her card and looked at Lu Yuxuan beside her: "What were you doing down there just now?"
Lu Yuxuan said, "I'm playing table tennis with someone next to me. Sister Linlin, do you know there's a table tennis room there?"
"Oh... It seems that Assistant Wu mentioned it."
"You can call me if you want to play table tennis in the future! But I'm only here on Friday and Saturday."
"It's fine." She didn't play table tennis anyway.
After the elevator reached Building 23, Li Linlin took out a small box of chocolates that she had bought at Dingou Hotel and gave it to Lu Yuxuan: "Thank you for helping me push the cart, please eat this."
The packaging of the chocolate is very beautiful, and it doesn't look cheap. Lu Yuxuan was embarrassed to ask: "Sister Linlin, don't be polite to me, I'll just push the cart for you by the way, and it won't be tiring."
Li Linlin smiled and shoved the chocolate into his hand: "Enthusiastic children should be rewarded. This chocolate is delicious, with jam filling!"
Lu Yuxuan was instantly moved by her words: "Really?"
"Well, there are four flavors in it, you will definitely like it!"
"Then... Thank you, Sister Linlin."
Li Linlin patted his head and said to him, "You're welcome. Then I'll go back first."
"OK."
Li Linlin pushed the cart to the door and unlocked the door. Lu Yuxuan also took his chocolate and returned to the opposite side.
In Chen Yiran's car, Chen Yiran was still thinking about the residence on the other side.
"Assistant Wu, who is the owner of the house opposite me in Yinwan?" Chen Yiran asked when passing by a traffic light.
Assistant Wu, who was sitting in the front row, thought for a while and replied, "It should be President Luo Yuluo of Hongsheng Group."
Chen Yiran's finger lightly tapped twice on the armrest, and said, "I remember she has two sons, one just went abroad to study last year, and the other is still in high school."
"Yes."
Chen Yiran pursed his lips slightly and did not speak for a while. The little boy I met in the lobby today looked like he was still in high school. If it wasn't the child of Luo Yu's relatives, could it be... her illegitimate child outside
This kind of thing is nothing new in the rich circle, and Chen Yiran is not interested in other people's private lives, so he doesn't ask any more.
After returning to Xinghai Garden, he still did not invite Assistant Wu to sit upstairs, and went upstairs alone.
After taking a shower, Chen Yiran was wearing pajamas and took out an old photo from the drawer by the bedside.
It was his second birthday photo, and the last photo he took with his mother.
What Linlin said to him tonight reminded him of his mother again. When his mother died, he was just over two years old. Logically speaking, his memory at that time should be very vague, but Chen Yiran remembered it very clearly.
Two-year-old children are naughty and need to be carried all the time. His mother had to go to work during the day and was only at home at night, so she hired an aunt to take care of him during the day.
The aunt who brought him kept praising him for being obedient and sensible, saying that he had never seen such a well-behaved child, but Chen Yiran remembered that at that time he already knew that his mother was working hard, but because he was too young to help her, he could only be a little more obedient. Lighten her load a little.
But the child's body is really fragile. Even though he is careful, he still has a cold and fever from time to time. Every time he had a fever, his mother had to stay up all night to take care of him and go to work the next morning.
At that time, his mother's body and spirit had collapsed to the extreme.
If he hadn't gotten sick that time, his mother might not have been in a car accident due to fatigue driving later.
When Chen Yiran was young, he often blamed himself for this incident. After Chen Zui found out, he enlightened him well, which relieved his guilt to a great extent. Having Chen Zui as an uncle was the luckiest thing in his childhood.
Now that he is an adult, he will no longer go to the horns, but tonight, he rarely recalls this feeling. If he hadn't gotten sick that time, wouldn't his mother still be healthy and be by his side today
In the photo, he and his mother are smiling very happily. There is a children's cake on the table, and the candles are burning with warm yellow light. Under the candlelight, a small building block figure was held in Chen Yiran's hand. It was a birthday present from his mother.
