When Huo Xiaoxiao woke up and found herself on her father's bed, she had no memory of how she got here.
"Xiaoxiao woke up?" Aunt Zhao happened to walk in from outside the room, and saw Huo Xiaoxiao who had just woken up and sat on the bed with a little fried hair, and yawned.
"I still want to sleep for a while."
Aunt Zhao rubbed her face and said with a smile, "Wake up, sir, I want to take you to Ocean Park."
"Ocean Park?" Huo Xiaoxiao shuddered, immediately lost all sleepiness, and got up from the bed, "Quick, Auntie, get me dressed and go to Ocean Park."
"You, when you heard that you were going out to play, you woke up faster than anyone else."
"Where's Dad?"
"Mr. is waiting for you downstairs, Yi Qian is awake, and you are snoozing."
"Hurry up, hurry up." Huo Xiaoxiao urged anxiously, almost impatient to get dressed and wash with the mentality of being released from prison after serving his sentence, and ran downstairs excitedly, "Good morning, Grandpa! Good morning, Dad! Yi Qianzao!"
Yi Qian woke up early, and sat at the dining table with Huo Suicheng and Mr. Huo to have breakfast.
Mr. Huo put down the milk he picked up, "It's early in the morning, so energetic."
Huo Xiaoxiao smiled and climbed onto the table stool, "Daddy is going to take us to Ocean Park today, grandpa?"
"Grandpa won't go, you and Yi Qian will go with your dad, it's fun, but you have to promise grandpa that you are not allowed to play around, run around or eat indiscriminately, remember?"
"Remember! Grandpa, don't worry, I will take good care of Yi Qian and Dad."
Mr. Huo pinched her little face, "Grandpa can rest assured that you are so capable."
Huo Xiaoxiao ate breakfast happily, with milk froth all over his mouth.
Huo Suicheng saw that she was not particular about eating, so he wiped her mouth with a tissue, "Eat slowly."
"Dad, why did I sleep in your room last night?"
Huo Xiaoxiao just asked casually, and both Mr. Huo and Yi Qian looked at Huo Suicheng.
Huo Suicheng took a sip of milk calmly, "It's normal for children to have sleepwalking symptoms."
Huo Xiaoxiao paused with a fork in his hand, and looked at Huo Suicheng in doubt.
Sleepwalking? She actually had symptoms of sleepwalking at a young age
real or fake
Why doesn't she know
"Sleepwalking?" Mr. Huo looked worried, "Really?"
"Don't worry, children are normal, just grow up a bit." Huo Suicheng asked Huo Xiaoxiao: "Do you know what sleepwalking is?"
Huo Xiaoxiao shook his head.
"It's just that you came to Dad's room by yourself while you were sleeping, but you don't have any memory."
"what?"
Mr. Huo was a little worried, "Well, since Xiaoxiao has sleepwalking, it's not safe for her to sleep alone, Suicheng, you can sleep with her for a while, take care of her at night, and wait until her sleepwalking symptoms get better."
Huo Suicheng frowned and looked at Huo Xiaoxiao, seeming a little embarrassed, but in the end he didn't say anything, "Sleep calmly at night."
Feeling disgusted, Huo Xiaoxiao reluctantly responded, "... oh."
After dinner, Mr. Huo asked again and again, but he still didn’t feel at ease. He checked the things he brought with him personally, and felt that Huo Suicheng had no experience in taking children or two children out to play. good care.
On weekends, there are many traffic jams on the road, and the one-hour road to Ocean Park became two hours.
The two children, Huo Xiaoxiao and Yi Qian, nestled in the child seat and played Rubik's Cube.
Yi Qian followed her to learn, but he didn't know how to play again and again. Huo Xiaoxiao was so anxious that he stretched out most of his body and grabbed Yi Qian's Rubik's Cube by hand to teach him.
"Look, this shape is one horizontal and one vertical, it's called a cross, then we're going to turn like this... You see, wouldn't this work?"
Huo Suicheng was listening to the formulas of the Rubik's Cube told by Huo Xiaoxiao, and asked in doubt: "Who taught you these?"
A child of two or three years old can play with Rubik's Cube with ease
Huo Xiaoxiao dumped the blame on the teacher, "The teacher taught it before."
"So soon?"
"It's very simple, that's it, that's it, that's it, you see, it's done." Anyway, her father couldn't lift her head to see what was inside.
Huo Suicheng didn't doubt much. There are more talented children, but they are only interested in the Rubik's Cube.
He glanced at Yi Qian again, saw his bewildered eyes, and shook his head in contrast.
Yi Qian twirled the Rubik's Cube, then stopped after a while, "I still don't know how to do it."
"It's okay, just play more."
The two whispered non-stop, and Huo Suicheng couldn't help reminding, "Sit down."
Huo Xiaoxiao snorted, stopped leaning out of the seat, and sat quietly.
The traffic jam in front of the intersection was finally unimpeded. Half an hour later, Bentley slowly drove into the parking lot of Ocean Park.
Ocean Park is full of people on weekends. Parents with children can be seen walking and stopping in the park everywhere. Children laugh and scream one after another, taking pictures or clamoring for snacks.
Huo Xiaoxiao was held in Huo Suicheng's arms, and Yi Qian was held tightly by Aunt Zhao. As soon as he entered the park, several large-scale water recreation projects suddenly appeared in front of him, and Huo Xiaoxiao felt a little itchy.
However, judging from the excitement of these events, she just wanted to play, and she would be ruthlessly rejected at the ticket gate at her height.
Huo Suicheng even passed these amusement facilities at the first sight.
"Dad, I'm coming down."
Huo Xiaoxiao kicked his calves to get down.
Huo Suicheng looked at the flow of people everywhere in the park, and frowned, "Don't run around, no one will find you if you get lost."
"understood!"
Huo Suicheng then put her down.
Huo Xiaoxiao, who was freed, immediately grabbed Yi Qian's hand and ran to an ice cream cart decorated with a seal image five meters away, "Sister, please, I want three cones! Yi Qian, what flavor do you want?" ?”
"I need to… "
"Would you like some chocolate?"
"it is good."
"Sister, I want a chocolate one, a strawberry one, and a mango one." After finishing speaking, Huo Xiaoxiao leaned into Yi Qian's ear and said, "Can you give me a bite of yours later? I'll just take a bite. "
"… Ok."
Huo Suicheng and Aunt Zhao followed.
The young lady in the ice cream shop couldn't help but see the two children lying on the fender of her car with their feet on their feet, and the calm and handsome man following behind.
"Little friend, three cones, have you forgotten who?"
Huo Xiaoxiao turned his head and took a look, "I almost forgot my father and aunt. Sister, I want five cones! Dad will give you the money!"
"..." Huo Suicheng came forward and picked her ears, "Eating so much is not afraid of diarrhea, three cones are enough."
"Three?" Huo Xiaoxiao looked up, "Won't Dad eat?"
Huo Suicheng was noncommittal.
But when the three ice creams were made, Huo Xiaoxiao understood what her father meant.
Yi Qian has one, Aunt Zhao has one, and her father has one.
Huo Suicheng picked her up and handed her the ice cream in his hand, "Children can't eat too many cold drinks, you can only eat half of them."
"Then Yi Qian..."
"He's older than you."
Aunt Zhao said with a smile: "I won't eat it, I'll give this to a snack." She said and handed over the ice cream in her hand.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Huo Xiaoxiao reached out to pick it up, but it was empty.
Huo Suicheng took two steps forward and distanced himself from Aunt Zhao.
"Aunt Zhao, you can eat, half of it is enough for her."
Huo Xiaoxiao looked at him resentfully.
Huo Suicheng raised his eyebrows, "Don't eat? Don't eat, Dad ate."
"eat!"
Huo Xiaoxiao took a bite of the ice cream and asked while eating, "Dad, where are we going?"
"Go to the aquarium."
Huo Xiaoxiao asked knowingly, "Is there anything interesting in the aquarium?"
"Lots of underwater animals."
Huo Xiaoxiao nervously ate ice cream, and distracted her father by the way, "Undersea animals? What... are there?"
"There are sharks, there are turtles, there are jellyfish and a lot of beautiful sea fish."
"What is a jellyfish?" There was only half of the ice cream left.
Huo Suicheng glanced at her and took the ice cream from her mouth, "Only eat half of it."
The ice cream that reached his mouth flew, Huo Xiaoxiao smashed his mouth, "But... waste!"
"Don't waste it." Huo Suicheng didn't think she had eaten dirty, and took two bites, "Dad eat."
"..." Grabbing food with the children, her father is really thick-skinned.
Huo Xiaoxiao kicked his calf, "I want to come down!"
Huo Suicheng put her down.
Yi Qian walked up to her quietly, and whispered in her ear: "Don't be angry, I've saved all my ice cream for you, I didn't eat it, I'll give it to you."
The weather was too hot, and the sharp edges of the ice cream in Yi Qian's hand melted into the shape of poop in the cartoon, and the back of his hand was full of ice cream cream.
"Yi Qian, you are so kind!" Huo Xiaoxiao glanced at Huo Suicheng, and while he wasn't paying attention, took two bites of the ice cream in Yi Qian's hand.
Huo Suicheng looked back at her and noticed the chocolate milk stains around her mouth. He was angry and funny, "Huo Xiaoxiao, wipe your mouth clean when you steal."
Huo Xiaoxiao, who was exposed, kept doing nothing, grabbed Yi Qian's hand and ate several mouthfuls of ice cream, "It's over!"
Aunt Zhao quickly squatted down and wiped her mouth with a tissue, and wiped off the cream stains on Yi Qian's hands.
Seeing that her father was about to scold her again, Huo Xiaoxiao quickly dragged Yi Qian to the entrance of the aquarium.
Aunt Zhao persuaded: "Sir, you are all out to play, so don't criticize her."
Huo Suicheng glanced at her helplessly, but didn't say much after all.
The queue to enter the aquarium formed a long queue, and there was no need to queue for the VIP passage. Huo Xiaoxiao and the others followed the staff to enter. Many people in the queue noticed Huo Xiaoxiao and Yi Qian running around in front of them, and the people behind them. Huo Suicheng, who followed, took out their mobile phones and secretly took a photo.
"Hey, did you see just now, those two kids look so cute!"
"Their fathers are following behind, right? Dad is so handsome! Sure enough, there are such children as there are any fathers."
Huo Suicheng frowned when he heard these comments.
Dad of two kids
he? And Yi Qian
Huo Xiaoxiao saw her father slowly walking behind her, stopped and turned to call him, "Dad, hurry up!"
"Look! It really is his daughter!"
"But why do I feel that this father looks familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere."
"Have you seen it?"
"I don't remember much, but I have a little impression... I remember! How could I forget him!"
"Who is it?"
"My boss!"
The chattering words disappeared in the crowd in an instant.
Huo Xiaoxiao and his group entered the Ocean Sightseeing Tunnel with the guidance of the staff, and after passing a fork, the eyes suddenly opened up. The blue sky above the glass plank road can be seen everywhere, and the water waves are printed on the ground under the projection of light and shadow. Groups of people Sea fish swim around in the glass tunnel.
It was not the first time for Huo Xiaoxiao to come to Ocean Park, but he was still shocked by the sight in front of him.
Involuntarily stepped forward to touch the glass, feeling the coldness of the sea water in the tunnel.
A turtle swam by.
"It's so beautiful." Pointing to the turtle in the glass tunnel, she said to Yi Qian, "Do you know what this is?"
Yi Qian nodded, "This is a sea turtle."
"Then do you know how long it lived?"
Yi Qian shook his head.
"It's lived a thousand years."
Yi Qian's eyes widened, "Really?"
Huo Xiaoxiao said nonsense, "Haven't you read The Adventures of the Turtle? The old turtle in it looks exactly like it. If the old turtle lived a thousand years, then he must have lived a thousand years too."
Yi Qian nodded suddenly.
One dares to speak, the other dares to believe.
Huo Suicheng shook his head and laughed when he heard Huo Xiaoxiao's childish remarks.
Click—
Aunt Zhao took a photo of the two children standing in front of the glass tunnel and discussing how old the tortoise grandfather is.
Huo Suicheng ruthlessly exposed her lie, "This turtle is not the same as Grandpa Turtle. It is only in its thirties this year. The thousand-year-old Grandpa Turtle you want to see is inside."
"Really? Yi Qian, let's go, I'll take you to see a thousand-year-old tortoise."
After speaking, he dragged Yi Qian forward.
"Run slowly."
"Father, hurry up!"
The undersea tunnel gets wider and wider, reefs and various sculptures are gradually visible in the glass tunnel, and there are more and more types of marine animals, such as huge sharks, wandering jellyfish, and sea fish of various colors.
"Yi Qian, look at that big blue fish, it's called a blue shark, isn't it beautiful?"
"..." Yi Qian frowned, "Pretty."
"Then do you know the name of that fish with many colors?"
"have no idea."
"That's called a colorful fish. You can see that it has several colors on its body."
The staff on the side smiled and introduced, "My kid is really smart. This fish is indeed called a colorful fish, but its full name is a colorful fairy fish."
"Seven-colored fairy fish?" Huo Xiaoxiao turned around, "Dad, this fish is so beautiful, can we bring it home and raise it?"
"Can."
Huo Xiaoxiao didn't expect her father to agree so readily, she couldn't believe it, "Really?"
"That shark is beautiful, too. We'll have one if you like."
Before Huo Xiaoxiao could say yes, she heard her father say, "Hey."
"..."
She knew that her father would never agree so readily.
"Xiao Xiao, come on, you and Yi Qian are standing here, and Aunt Zhao will take a photo for you."
"Okay!" Huo Xiaoxiao put his arms around Yi Qian's shoulders, put his two little faces together, and took an intimate photo.
"Dad, let me take a picture of you too."
"You can shoot?"
"Of course! Just press that button."
In order to prove that she can do it, Huo Xiaoxiao took the camera in Aunt Zhao's hand and ran forward for three or four meters. She was short, and when she raised the camera to take pictures, she took the picture from the perspective of looking up. Huo Suicheng's legs were already long. Looking up from Huo Xiaoxiao's camera, his whole body was covered with legs.
"Dad, laugh!"
Huo Suicheng looked at the camera, his brows stretched.
Huo Xiaoxiao looked at Huo Suicheng in the lens, and corrected him, "Dad, mouth, mouth must smile!"
Huo Suicheng was helpless, hooked the corner of his mouth.
Huo Xiaoxiao put down the camera, "Dad, smile like this." She opened her mouth and pointed at herself showing two rows of sparse deciduous teeth, "Smile like me, showing your teeth."
"Just take a picture."
Huo Xiaoxiao urged seriously: "No! Dad wants to laugh, hurry up!"
Huo Suicheng rarely smiled, and the only few photos were serious without smiling.
He looked directly at the camera, tried to pull his muscles at the corners of his mouth, but he just sighed, walked over, and said to Huo Xiaoxiao, "Okay, Dad will take a picture for you."
Huo Xiaoxiao grabbed the strap of the camera, pulled Huo Suicheng, and motioned him to squat down.
Huo Suicheng squatted down in front of her.
Huo Xiaoxiao reached out and tugged at the corner of Huo Suicheng's mouth, "Laugh."
It was also strange that a pair of soft hands raised the corners of his mouth. Under her gentle force, the straight and stiff corners of his mouth slowly formed a gentle arc, and even the cold and snowy eyes were bathed in the March spring breeze. Melting, there is an illusion of tenderness.
Huo Xiaoxiao took a few steps back, held up the camera, and snapped this precious photo with a click.
"Is it ready?"
"Yeah! It's done, Dad looks good when he smiles!"
Huo Suicheng glanced at himself in the camera, and had the illusion that he didn't know the person in the camera.
Going further in, the space becomes more empty, and there are more and more buildings and statues in the glass tunnel under the sea.
"Dad, look, it's a mermaid."
In the transparent submarine tunnel of the aquarium, a staff member dressed as a blue mermaid swims freely in the underwater world in the glass tunnel, and from time to time swims to the glass tunnel to greet and interact with the children in front of him.
Huo Xiaoxiao waved at the mermaid.
Miss Mermaid swam over, spit a bubble in front of her, and slowly turned into a heart in the sea.
Huo Xiaoxiao also smiled and blew her a kiss.
The staff smiled and said, "Kids, have you heard the story of the mermaid?"
"Dad told me." Huo Xiaoxiao turned to Yi Qian and said, "Yi Qian, have you heard the story of the mermaid?"
"No."
"Dad told me. Do you want to hear it? I'll tell you."
"Want to hear."
Huo Xiaoxiao cleared her throat, "A long time ago, there were seven mermaids living under the sea, and the smallest mermaid was the most beautiful. One day she surfaced and saved a prince..."
Yi Qian listened carefully to her story.
"In the end, before the sun came up, the Little Mermaid turned into foam and disappeared on the beach."
After Yi Qian heard this, his small face wrinkled into a bun, "The little mermaid is dead? Why is the prince so bad!"
"Yes, he is so bad! The mermaid is so miserable. She saved the prince. In order to be with the prince, she lost her voice and tail, and also lost the dagger that her sister who loved her asked her from the witch. Finally I would rather turn into a bubble and disappear... than hurt the prince, I can't hurt myself for others like the little mermaid in the future." She turned around, "Dad, am I right?"
"right."
Yi Qian frowned, seeming a little puzzled: "But, what about the mermaid's father? The mermaid's sister gave her beautiful hair to the witch, so why didn't the mermaid's father help her? Does the mermaid's father not like her?"
"..." Huo Xiaoxiao thought this was a good question.
But this question, it is estimated that you can only ask Andersen.
"I don't know, but I think the mermaid's father doesn't like her, right? Her father definitely doesn't like her because she abandoned her relatives for others. If the mermaid didn't disappear, her father would definitely break her leg." ... No, it must be to break her tail!"
The mermaid in the glass tunnel swims among the fish, the water waves blend with light and shadow, and the mermaid walks away from the glass tunnel and wanders alone in front of a sculpture on the seabed.
The sculpture is a huge portrait standing quietly on the bottom of the sea with a trident in his hand.
With a hint of bad intentions, Huo Xiaoxiao raised her head and asked her father, "Dad, why didn't the mermaid's father save her? Doesn't her father like her? Why didn't he help her? It's because the mermaid hurt herself for another man, so Is her father angry? Or is it because the mermaid's sister traded her beautiful hair, but the mermaid didn't hurt the prince, so she doesn't care about her?"
Huo Suicheng looked at the sculpture on the bottom of the sea without saying a word for a long time, then hugged her, pointed to the sculpture Natsume, and said, "That's the mermaid's father."
"?" Huo Xiaoxiao couldn't believe it. "The mermaid's father?"
"Didn't Dad tell you what happened to the mermaid story?"
Huo Xiaoxiao was puzzled, is there a later story about the mermaid
"Didn't the mermaid turn into a bubble and disappear?"
Huo Suicheng said: "The mermaid's father didn't dislike the mermaid, he didn't save her, and he didn't get angry because the mermaid hurt him because of other men, and he didn't want to care about her. He loved the mermaid. After the mermaid turned into a bubble and disappeared , he found the witch, exchanged his own life, turned into a sculpture and sank to the bottom of the sea forever, and saved the mermaid."
Huo Xiaoxiao was silent, "After the mermaid was resurrected, did she regret it?"
"I regretted it. She kissed Dad's face at the bottom of the sea and said that she knew she was wrong. Since then, the mermaid has never left the bottom of the sea and will always guard him."
"Then... will the mermaid's father still wake up?"
"Won't."
"Why don't you wake up?"
"Because any decision needs someone to bear the consequences. With Dad around, no one will let anyone hurt the mermaid."
"But the mermaid's father is dead, so I can no longer protect the mermaid in the future."
"The mermaid has grown up because of this, and she won't let anyone hurt herself again."
"Dad..." Huo Xiaoxiao kissed him on the face, "Are all dads like this?"
"It's all like this."
