The ocean park that Huo Xiaoxiao and his party came to is the largest ocean park in S, covering an area of more than 30 hectares, with more than 40 amusement facilities. On weekends, the entire park is crowded with people.
There are several themed restaurants in the park, which are very distinctive. Although expensive, they are the only choice for parents for their children. They are still full of people during lunch time, and occasionally there will be queues to wait for the number. The supply exceeds demand.
There was a long queue outside a special themed restaurant, and many parents with their children sat outside the restaurant and queued up.
"I've said it all, just go to a fast food restaurant and buy something to eat. If you have to come here, I don't know how long the queue will be."
"How nutritious are fast food restaurants? How can you eat those things when Sissy is growing up? Wait a minute, it won't be long."
"Dad, Sissy is hungry."
"Cissy, be good, wait a little longer, we will be here soon, mom has milk here, drink some to fill your belly."
The woman takes out a bottle of milk from the stroller and delivers it to the girl.
"Ah, this is your daughter? She looks so cute." An older sister who was also waiting in line outside the store couldn't help but praise her so beautiful and lovely daughter.
"... Yes, my daughter, her name is Sissy. Sissy, auntie is complimenting you on your beauty, what should I say?"
The little girl named Sissy snuggled into the arms of the man, holding the milk bottle and watching him without speaking.
"Sorry, this kid... a bit shy."
"It's okay. It's normal for such a young child to be shy. My son is so young that he doesn't dare to say a word outside. How old is he?"
"More than two years old."
"It's quite small. This restaurant is the most popular one in the park. If you come late, you have to queue up. If you don't prepare some milk snacks for the children, the children can't bear it. But don't worry, you won't wait too long. Last week I just came here."
During the chat, two staff members from the restaurant came to the door of the store. The eldest sister looked at it and said with a smile, "Look, it's probably called. What's your number?"
"I have number one hundred and three."
"Then I'm a little later than you, I'm number one hundred and fifteen."
But after waiting for a while, I didn't see the staff calling the number, and some tourists who couldn't wait came forward to ask.
"Excuse me, is there anyone who can go in now?"
The staff smiled alienatedly and said, "I'm sorry, there are no seats yet, so I need you to wait a little longer."
"I've been waiting for so long, my son is hungry, why wait a while?"
"I'm really sorry, now is the peak dining season, please understand."
Complaints abound.
The waiter is still smiling.
It wasn't until a few people walked in at the entrance of the restaurant that the waiter came forward with a smile, "Is this Mr. Huo?"
Huo Suicheng hugged Huo Xiaoxiao and nodded.
"Please come in."
The tourists who lined up outside the store couldn't sit still when they saw that Huo Suicheng and his party were unimpeded.
"What's the matter with your store? Why can people go in as soon as they come? How long have we waited?"
"I'm sorry everyone, that person is a member of our park club, so..."
"Member? I'm also a VIP."
"... This gentleman, that person is a member of our park club, sorry, please wait a moment."
Before the tourists could speak, the waiter left.
"What attitude? Aren't they all VIPs?"
"Hey, stop talking, the member that the waiter said is different from your VIP."
"What's different?"
"You are a fast-pass VIP. That member is a member who pays an entry fee of 500,000 yuan and an annual fee of more than 100,000 yuan."
After the man explained, there was a sound of breathing.
"The membership fee of 500,000 yuan, and you have to pay more than 100,000 yuan every year. You are really rich." The eldest sister was speechless. "This rich man spends so much money a year, how many times a year?"
"Dad, why can't we go in?"
"Because... someone else booked the seat in advance, but Dad forgot to book it, so he can't go in."
"Then dad must remember to set the location next time."
"Well, Dad must remember, is the milk finished?"
"I'm done." Sissy handed the finished bottle of milk to the woman, "Mom, I'm done. Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Only then did the man next to him notice the paleness of the woman's face. He held her hand and asked kindly, "Wen Xin, what's wrong? Are you hungry?"
Ji Wenxin shook his head, "I... I'm fine, maybe I'm tired from walking too long today, why don't we go to another restaurant?"
The flustered dodge in her eyes was deeply hidden in an instant.
The man comforted her, "I didn't expect there to be so many people here, wait a minute, I'll call and book a private room,"
Ji Wenxin forced a smile, "...Okay."
Huo Xiaoxiao, who had been playing in the park all morning, was also very hungry at the moment.
She has a soft spot for fast food, but her father can't do it, so he has to go around the park to eat here.
Unlike the noisy lobby, the private room is quiet and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking most of the park.
Huo Xiaoxiao squatted on the dining table, watching her father order.
hateful!
When I came to the amusement park, I didn’t eat junk food like fried chicken and burgers, but I actually ate this kind of green, healthy and nutritious food!
So unhappy.
"Steamed egg with crab meat, wild small yellow croaker, steamed starfish with cloudy leg mushroom, half-headed abalone frozen in sake, fish maw in abalone sauce, four fillet steaks, three fully cooked and one medium rare, bitter summer asparagus, vegetable salad , three glasses of orange juice and one glass of water. Mr. Huo, besides the above, is there anything else you need? "
Huo Suicheng glanced at Huo Xiaoxiao, "Another fried chicken."
Huo Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised, "Dad!"
"You and Yi Qian can only eat one piece."
"… Oh."
Although there were many people in the restaurant, the serving speed was quite fast, and the meals ordered were served one after another in a short while.
Huo Suicheng's cell phone rang, took a look, and got up, "I'll answer the call, Aunt Zhao, I will trouble you here."
"do not worry."
After Huo Suicheng left, Huo Xiaoxiao looked at the fried chicken brought by the waiter, put one piece in Yi Qian's bowl, another piece in Aunt Zhao's bowl, and then another piece for himself.
After eating a piece, she stretched out her chopsticks again.
"Xiao Xiao, the teacher said, you only need to eat one piece."
"Auntie, I still want to eat one piece, so I just eat one piece. Dad doesn't know anyway."
"That won't work, I'll get angry if I eat too much."
"I won't get angry!" As she said, she took another piece into her bowl while Aunt Zhao was not paying attention.
"Little."
"Just eat this piece!"
Having said that, after eating, the chopsticks reached into the bowl again and took away the last piece of fried chicken.
Aunt Zhao reminded her not to eat too much with her eyes, "Little!"
"I'll eat another piece, Dad won't know!"
"Don't eat it."
Huo Xiaoxiao, who has been hungry for two years, can't let go of the opportunity to eat fried chicken, "Auntie, eat some more, I have never eaten such delicious food."
"I won't be able to eat later."
"I can eat it!" Huo Xiaoxiao speeded up his mouth, pinching and pinching the chopsticks in his hand,
Aunt Zhao couldn't control her, so she had to threaten her, "You have eaten all the fried chicken, and when Mr. comes back and finds you, don't cry."
"As long as you don't tell Auntie, Dad won't find out! And Yi Qian, you are not allowed to tell!"
"I'm done eating, I'm done eating, the last piece is gone!" With a lesson learned from the past, Huo Xiaoxiao wiped her mouth with a paper towel, and said to the waiter who served the food: "Sister, quickly remove this empty plate, and then order another fried chicken."
"OK."
Yi Qian put the piece of fried chicken in his bowl into Huo Xiaoxiao's bowl, "I didn't move the fried chicken, here it is."
"Yi Qian, you are so kind!"
While Huo Xiaoxiao was enjoying the fried chicken, Huo Suicheng hung up the phone on the balcony of the corridor outside the box.
"Mr. Huo..." A gentle voice sounded uncertain behind him.
Huo Suicheng followed the prestige, and Ji Wenxin stood not far behind him, with erratic eyes.
"Do you remember me?"
Huo Suicheng looked at her with heavy eyes, and said after a while, "Ji Wenxin?"
"It's me, I... I just came back not long ago, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Is there something wrong?"
Ji Wenxin looked eagerly, "I want to ask you, that little girl just now..."
Huo Suicheng's expression was indifferent, as if the person in front of him was just an insignificant passerby, "My daughter."
Ji Wenxin's eyes lit up, but the look of surprise gradually dimmed under Huo Suicheng's indifferent expression, "Is she doing well these years?"
"very good."
Ji Wenxin bit his lips, "The matter of my brother has caused you trouble, I have already told him, and he will not bother you anymore."
"You have more peace of mind than your brother."
"I... I was forced to, Mr. Huo, I can..."
"Miss Ji, I think at this time, in your current capacity, it's best not to make any requests to me."
"I know, but I'm always hers..."
"Xiaoxiao has never asked me about my mother. If I do ask one day, I will tell her, but before that, I don't want her to know about you from anyone."
Huo Suicheng interrupted her words without hesitation. He didn't have much empathy for the woman in front of him, and he rarely thought about problems from the perspective of others and understood painstakingly. If it wasn't for the accident of the hotel three years ago One night, there may never be an intersection between them.
Ji Wen lowered his head in embarrassment, "I understand, I'm sorry Mr. Huo, I'm sorry to bother you."
Huo Suicheng passed her expressionlessly.
After three years, Ji Wenxin never expected to see him one day.
Thinking of the night of the accidental accident three years ago, and the heartless departure two years ago, to this day, I don't know if I did anything wrong.
Huo Suicheng returned to the private room, and heard Aunt Zhao talking as soon as he entered the door.
"Xiao Xiao, if Mister finds out, I can't spare you."
Huo Suicheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Xiaoxiao, "What is it that I don't know?"
"No, no! I want to eat ice cream, but my aunt won't let me eat it."
"Is that so?" Huo Suicheng sat down at the dining table and looked at Aunt Zhao.
Huo Xiaoxiao put his palms together under the table, and looked at Aunt Zhao beggingly.
Aunt Zhao sighed helplessly, "Yes, Xiaoxiao must have an ice cream, I said sir, you will definitely not let her eat it."
"I only ate one in the morning, aren't you afraid of having a stomachache?"
Huo Xiaoxiao whispered: "If you don't eat, you don't eat..."
Huo Suicheng glanced at the dishes on the table, and basically didn't move, as if he was waiting for him.
"Why don't you eat?"
"Wait for Dad."
Huo Suicheng looked at the complete fried chicken again, and couldn't believe that the kid would be so obedient, "Didn't you eat the fried chicken?"
Huo Xiaoxiao didn't blush and her heart didn't beat, all she wanted was acting, "We have to wait for Dad."
Huo Suicheng glanced at Aunt Zhao, who smiled guiltyly.
Looking at Yi Qian again, Yi Qian quickly lowered his head.
Huo Suicheng quietly picked up a piece of fried chicken for her, "Eat it."
"Thank you dad!"
Huo Xiaoxiao, who escaped the catastrophe, heaved a sigh of relief, held the chopsticks, and tremblingly picked up a piece of fresh and tender fish for Aunt Zhao, "Auntie, eat!"
"Aunt Zhao can pick it up, you can eat it yourself."
After eating the fried chicken, Huo Xiaoxiao turned his attention to Huo Suicheng again, "Dad, can I have another piece? Just eat one piece."
"The last piece."
"Thank you dad!"
Huo Xiaoxiao picked up a piece of fried chicken leg, and the hamster enjoyed it like a feast.
After eating the chicken legs, she tactfully didn't push her further, but after eating a whole plate of fried chicken, she couldn't eat the steak after two mouthfuls.
"Dad, I'm full."
"Aren't you hungry? Eat so little?"
"I'm full, Dad eat slowly."
Huo Xiaoxiao felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
This is really gluttonous for a while, after eating the crematorium.
She underestimated the greasyness of fried chicken and the indigestion of this small body.
It didn't take long for the few people to eat. After eating, the waiter brought the bill for the consumption.
"Mr. Huo, you spent a total of 23,528 this time. This is the bill, please verify it."
Huo Suicheng has never been in the habit of reading bills, so he handed the waiter a bank card.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Huo Suicheng got up and inadvertently glanced at the bill in hand.
He has always been used to reading ten lines at a glance and rarely misses anything. He can see the amount of fried chicken on the bill at a glance, X2.
two copies
Huo Suicheng looked at the bill carefully.
"Why are there two orders of fried chicken?" He held the bill and looked at Huo Xiaoxiao.
"… I do not know."
"Huo Xiaoxiao, do you need me to call the waiter to ask for clarification?"
"..."
The waiter walked in from the outside, taking advantage of the opening of the door, Huo Xiaoxiao dragged Yi Qian and ran away.
"Huo Xiaoxiao!"
"Xiao Xiao, don't run around!"
Huo Suicheng took the bank card handed over by the waiter, and quickly followed it out.
The tables in the restaurant were full of people, and Huo Xiaoxiao dragged Yi Qian towards the restaurant door.
"Xiao Xiao, you... don't run away. When Uncle Huo asks later, I will say that I ate it."
"No, do you think my dad is so stupid? He must know that I ate it, we have to get out of here quickly, there is no proof!"
A little girl suddenly appeared at the corner, Huo Xiaoxiao in the storage room was not paying attention, and failed to stop in time, the three of them bumped into each other instantly.
The little girl was knocked back and sat on the ground, Huo Xiaoxiao was also knocked back a few steps, tripped Yi Qian, and the two fell into a ball.
The little girl cried on the spot.
"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
"Sissy, what's the matter?" The woman who rushed over hugged the little girl in her arms.
Cici pointed at Huo Xiaoxiao and Yi Qian, crying and saying, "They... hit me!"
"Hit you? Did you get hurt?"
"pain!"
The woman frowned, and looked at Huo Xiaoxiao and the other two, "Which family are you children, why are you running around here? Where are your parents?"
Yi Qian quickly helped Huo Xiaoxiao up and looked at each other.
"Sorry."
"Auntie, I'm sorry, we didn't mean it."
"Where are your parents? How can you let your two children run in the hall, how dangerous are so many people?"
The two children stood there without speaking.
"Sissy, be good, don't cry."
Cici pointed at her leg, "The leg hurts!"
"Look, mom... Sissy's leg is fine, stop crying."
Aunt Zhao chased after her.
"Xiao Xiao, what are you doing running so fast? Be careful not to fall!"
Huo Xiaoxiao turned back and said depressedly: "I have already fallen."
"Where did you fall, let Aunt Zhao take a look?"
"I kowtowed my head, but it didn't hurt. Yi Qian also fell. Does Yi Qian hurt?"
Yi Qian shook his head.
"And we accidentally bumped into this aunt's daughter."
Aunt Zhao looked at the woman holding the child in front of her, "Excuse me, is your daughter okay?"
"You are the children's..."
"I'm the aunt who takes care of them both."
The woman looked unhappy and said, "The two of them are too naughty, there are so many people here, how dangerous it is to run around here!"
"What's going on?" A deep voice sounded, and Huo Suicheng followed. When he saw Ji Wenxin holding the child, his eyes were slightly cold.
Aunt Zhao explained: "Xiaoxiao accidentally bumped into this little girl."
Huo Suicheng looked at Huo Xiaoxiao, "Are you sorry?"
Huo Xiaoxiao nodded, "I apologize."
"Then let's go." Huo Suicheng bowed and picked her up, without looking at Ji Wenxin, passed by her, and said to Huo Xiaoxiao: "Did you bump into it?"
Huo Xiaoxiao covered her forehead and frowned, "I hit my head."
"In the future, you are not allowed to run around in crowded places."
"Oh."
The little girl who was hit behind was still crying.
Huo Xiaoxiao lay on Huo Suicheng's shoulder and watched. For some reason, when he looked at the woman holding the child, he always had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. This feeling was very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.
Until Huo Suicheng and the others left the restaurant, Ji Wenxin still stood there with a pale face.
The distance from the entrance of the restaurant was too far, and she didn't see what the child in Huo Suicheng's arms looked like. She didn't realize it until she saw Huo Suicheng hugging Huo Xiaoxiao just now.
"Wen Xin, what happened? Why is Cici crying like this?"
"dad!"
The man quickly took the child over, "What's wrong, Sissy?"
"Just now...someone hit me just now, it hurts."
"Who hit it?"
The little girl burst into tears, "I don't know, they left."
"Leaving?" The man looked at Ji Wenxin, "Wen Xin, what's going on?"
Ji Wenxin took a deep breath, his smile was stiff, and he was a little at a loss, "It's okay, just... just a few children ran around in the hall and bumped into them accidentally, Qianqian is fine."
Seeing this, the man couldn't say anything, "Let's just leave, there is a seat in the private room I booked, let's go in."
Ji Wen nodded absently, "Okay."
Huo Suicheng, who left the restaurant with Huo Xiaoxiao in his arms, remained silent.
Huo Xiaoxiao, who was held in his arms, also lay sleepily on his shoulders.
Feeling that Huo Xiaoxiao was emotionally wrong, Huo Suicheng, who planned to settle accounts after the autumn, died down, stroked her back, and asked her in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Huo Xiaoxiao shook his head.
"Did it hurt just now?"
Huo Xiaoxiao shook his head again.
Huo Suicheng was silent.
He is very aware of the importance of a mother to a child. He doesn't know what Huo Xiaoxiao thought when he saw a mother holding a crying daughter in her arms to comfort him just now.
Will you be envious.
Do you wonder why other people have mothers, but you don't.
Will he ask him where his mother is
Aunt Zhao asked, "Are you sleepy?"
Huo Suicheng asked her warmly, "Sleepy?"
Huo Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Go to the hotel and rest for a while."
There are special hotels in Ocean Park, and the most special room is the underwater suite.
Behind the curtain is the "blue sea" separated by glass. Behind the one-inch glass, you can enjoy close-up views of schools of colorful fish shuttling.
Huo Xiaoxiao had no time to appreciate the features of this room. She was lying lazily on the bed, clutching her stomach, and didn't want to say a word.
Very supportive.
Now I regret it, especially regretting that I ate a whole plate of fried chicken alone.
But she can't tell.
Otherwise, her father will definitely settle with her for eating an extra portion of fried chicken.
