…
On the other hand.
Xiang Yi was playing with Shi Sui merrily.
There were two long rabbit ears on the front end of each bumper car which would droop whenever it collided with another bumper car, resembling a lop rabbit.
Xiang Yi seldom visited the amusement park to play ever since middle school.
The reason was simple.
No matter how fun the amusement park may be, it would be pointless to play alone.
After her parents’ accident, she couldn’t get over it for a long time and thus started homeschooling.
After she started middle school, she kept skipping grades and as she got busier with her academics, she didn’t have much time to socialize.
The very few friends whom she was close to had cut her off and stopped contacting her since she was possessed by that being who wreaked havoc in her life.
She felt that Shi Sui was a really nice person because he was willing to accompany her to play such a childish game despite being much more mature.
After turning the steering wheel skillfully, she locked onto Shi Sui and drove toward his bumper car at full speed…
Halfway through, an old man suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Xiang Yi hurriedly stepped on the brakes, after which her head was slammed onto the steering wheel due to the inertia. When she raised her head again, her fair and shiny forehead had already reddened.
It looked really painful.
Xiang Yi’s grandfather couldn’t help but frown.
When Xiang Yi saw him, her eyes lit up and she exclaimed, “Grandpa!”
Old Mr. Xiang immediately exclaimed, “Don’t call me your Grandpa! I’m not your grandfather! I don’t have a granddaughter like you!”
His tone was cold and harsh, causing the luster in Xiang Yi’s eyes to gradually become dull…
She looked down, adjusted her emotions for a few seconds, and then… pressed the button to reverse the car.
The bumper car reversed by a few meters, but the bunny ears malfunctioned as they started drooping.
Xiang Yi’s grandfather was speechless!
‘What? Are you really not going to call me your grandfather just because I told you not to?’
‘Now you’re obeying me, huh!?!’
Xiang Yin didn’t expect to be even angrier at Xiang Yi when she was obedient than when she was defiant!
Old Mrs. Xiang was a few steps slower, and by the time she had walked over, she realized that Xiang Yi had not only reversed, she didn’t greet her either.
Old Mrs. Xiang’s heart melted when she saw Xiang Yi’s reddened forehead and eyes. Waving at her, she said, “Your grandfather is scaring you, don’t bother about him. Be good, Bunny, come to Grandma.”
Xiang Yi hesitated to go over.
Xiang Yi’s grandfather hollered, “Don’t come over! I don’t want to see you!”
“…”
Hence, Xiang Yi reversed the bumper car far, far away.
“Old Mr. Xiang, Old Mrs. Xiang.” Shi Sui got out of the car at some point and greeted the both of them in a warm voice. Immediately afterwards, he began chatting with them naturally with ease. They couldn’t find any fault with his manners and etiquette at all.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Xiang Yi became the topic of their conversation again.
Old Mr. Xiang said sarcastically, “She has the time to come to the amusement park with you, but she doesn’t have the time to come back to the old residence and visit me. I bet she doesn’t care about me at all!”
Shi Sui said apologetically, “Sir, you’ve misunderstood. It’s not that Xiang Yi doesn’t want to visit you, but she’s held up by work. We’re here today for shooting.”
He glanced at the merry-go-round while his temples throbbed. “Those two are the director and cameraman of our program respectively. They’re conducting the livestream.”
Just as he was about to explain what a livestream was, Xiang Yi’s grandmother said, “A livestream? I’ve heard of it before, livestreams are used for selling goods! It’s just like a TV shopping channel. I saw my neighbor Mrs. Zhou’s grandson teaching her how to buy things online!”
She was green with envy because she and Old Mr. Xiang didn’t know how to do that.
Shi Sui asked with a smile, “Grandma, what do you want to buy? Do you want Xiang Yi to come over and help you with it?”
Before Xiang Yi’s grandmother could answer, Old Mr. Xiang interjected, “No, we don’t need her help!”
