Zhuang Qilin searched the streets and finally found Xiao Li. Xiao Li was standing on a staircase on the left with a cup of coffee in her hand. She was wearing a short white t-shirt, sunglasses, and a hat. Zhuang Qilin said to Zhuang Long, “My mother is here too.”
Zhuang Long looked in the direction of Zhuang Qilin’s finger in surprise.
When he saw Xiao Li, Zhuang Long’s eyes seemed to light up, but he quickly suppressed it.
After the three of them met, the two adults looked at each other and did not know what to say.
Suddenly, someone shouted, “It’s starting!”
Zhuang Long and Xiao Li looked up at the end of the street.
A car drove over with a water tank. In the water tank were two golden-haired beauties in mermaid clothes. They walked freely in the water tank, swaying their exquisite fishtails. Their long golden hair fluttered in the water, and they were especially beautiful.
Zhuang Qilin exclaimed, “So beautiful!”
Zhuang Long could not appreciate such beauty. When Xiao Li heard her son’s praise, she only raised her eyebrows and did not dare to agree with him.
This kind of trick was just to tease children.
At first, Zhuang Qilin was quite excited. When he saw a man in a mermaid dress walking past him with a beer belly, Zhuang Qilin could not help but cover his eyes and wail in Chinese, “Oh my god, I really want to poke my eyes! It hurts my eyes!”
Just as Zhuang Qilin finished shouting, he saw a group of people even more shocking than the fat uncle walk over.
It was a group of enchanting men in high heels. They were wearing long wigs of all colors and gorgeous mermaid clothes. When they walked, their buttocks seemed to be swinging to the sky. What made him collapse was that these people even stuffed a pair of fake breasts in their chests.
Zhuang Qilin was speechless.
Who could tell him why the mermaid parade he saw was different from what others said…
Zhuang Qilin had difficulty breathing after being washed by all kinds of shocking mermaids.
“Go, go, go! I’ll die if you continue to watch.” It was unknown if he was angry or embarrassed, but Zhuang Qilin’s face was red. He pulled Zhuang Long with one hand and Xiao Li with the other, dragging his parents away. Xiao Li endured his laughter uncomfortably behind him.
Xiao Li drove here. Zhuang Qilin got into Xiao Li’s car. After his parents got into the car, he lay in the back seat like a fish lacking water and sighed. “Quick, give me some water. I’m dying.”
Zhuang Long opened the mineral water bottle and handed it to him.
Zhuang Qilin drank half a bottle of water in one go. He still felt a lingering fear when he recalled the shocking scenes he had seen just now.
“I won’t come again.”
“Hehe…” Xiao Li suddenly laughed.
Zhuang Qilin asked her what she was laughing at, and Xiao Li said, “The last time I brought you here, you even said that the uncles in dresses look good.”
Zhuang Qilin looked like he had seen a ghost.
“Do I?”
“Yes, you even said that you want to wear that dress in the future.”
Zhuang Qilin wanted to kill himself.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s go for lunch.” Zhuang Long’s suggestion was unanimously agreed by Xiao Li and Zhuang Qilin. When they were discussing what to eat for lunch, the three of them quarreled again. Xiao Li wanted to eat Chinese food, and Zhuang Long and Zhuang Qilin wanted to eat French food, but they refused to take a step back and admit defeat.
In the end, Zhuang Qilin saw a little girl eating fries outside the window. His eyes lit up and he suggested, “Then let’s go eat KFC.”
The two people in front of him turned around at the same time and frowned. Clearly, they did not agree with Zhuang Qilin’s suggestion.
Zhuang Qilin shrugged his shoulders and said in a nonchalant tone, “Fine, I won’t go. I just feel a little nostalgic when I see other children eating fast food with their parents.” He pretended to shake his head pitifully and said, “If you guys don’t want to go, then don’t go.”
Zhuang Long and Xiao Li looked at each other secretly.
“Alright, go!”
Hence, they drove to the entrance of a KFC.
Zhuang Qilin ordered fries, hamburgers, chicken legs, and some other food. The shop assistant told them that there was an event in the shop today. If they spent 30 USD, they could receive a keychain. The keychain could be used to add photos.
Zhuang Qilin was quite interested in this keychain. He asked the shop assistant and found out that this photo could be chosen as long as the size was suitable. Zhuang Qilin reserved a keychain. He returned to the table and did not explain the details. He said to Xiao Li and Zhuang Qilin, “Let’s take a photo.”
Xiao Li and Zhuang Long were stunned.
They looked at each other and realized that after knowing each other for so many years, they had never taken a photo together other than their marriage certificate.
“Why? Are you unwilling?” Seeing that they were sitting there motionless, Zhuang Qilin thought that they did not want to take the photo.
“No, take it!” Zhuang Long replied quickly, as if he was afraid that Xiao Li would regret it.
Zhuang Qilin looked at Xiao Li and waited for her answer.
Xiao Li could not bear to let the child down. She nodded and said, “Take it.”
The family of three gathered together. Zhuang Qilin stood between the two of them. Xiao Li and Zhuang Long sat behind him, their heads a little far apart.
Zhuang Qilin clicked his tongue and was a little irritated. He frowned and said, “You’re too far away. There are rules for the keychain. You can’t get in even if you stand too far away. Get closer!” He turned around and pushed Xiao Li and Zhuang Long’s bodies towards the middle. “That’s it! Get your heads closer.”
Xiao Li and Zhuang Long pressed their heads against each other and realized that their bodies were a little hot.
When he turned around, a smile quickly flashed across Zhuang Qilin’s lips.
“One, two, three!”
It was taken!
Zhuang Qilin took the photo that he had just taken and went to look for the shop assistant. The shop assistant said that it would take half an hour to complete, so Zhuang Qilin was not in a hurry. He said that he could wait, then returned to the dining table and sat down to eat fast food.
He tasted the hamburger and realized that it was not delicious.
For some reason, she could always see children eating hamburgers on the streets.
He frowned and did not say anything. He took another sip of Coke. Zhuang Long had not eaten this thing for many years. He picked at the fries and was a little disgusted. Xiao Li loved to be beautiful and paid special attention to her diet. She would not touch such fried fast food.
The three of them ate very slowly, but their mood was high.
Soon, the keychain was done. The three of them stood up at the same time and accompanied Zhuang Qilin to collect the keychain before walking out of the restaurant together. Standing at the entrance of the restaurant, Zhuang Qilin asked Xiao Li and Zhuang Long if they had any plans next. Zhuang Long looked at Xiao Li.
Xiao Li thought of something and said, “I still have something on in the afternoon, so I’ll go back first.”
Upon hearing this, the light in Zhuang Long and Zhuang Qilin’s eyes dimmed at the same time. Zhuang Qilin looked at Xiao Li and asked her, “What are you going to do? Can’t you move it to tomorrow?”
