"Miss Ye, thank you so much," Kang Kang's mother said, bowing deeply to Ye Ziyu.
Ye Ziyu supported her arm, "You're welcome, I didn't do much. The reason you were able to let go of your past is because you both deeply love each other."
Kang Kang's mother held Ye Ziyu's hand, too many emotions to express.
"Don't worry about me. You heard what was said just now. This is the moment you should take him to play properly inside and fulfill his wishes without any conditions," Ye Ziyu reminded her.
Kang Kang's mother suddenly understood.
Kang Kang had told her more than once that he wanted to go to the amusement park. But she was too busy having tea with other wealthy ladies to pay attention to his words, merely asking him to get good grades as a condition for fulfilling his wish.
Watching Kang Kang being led into the kindergarten by his mother, the unhappiness on his face completely vanished once they entered the amusement park. Mother and son happily discussed each attraction. Kang Kang, afraid of wanting too much and upsetting his mother, dared not voice his desires.
"Kang Kang, want to ride this?" Kang Kang's mother pointed at the roller coaster.
Kang Kang nodded excitedly.
In the amusement park, a lady in elegant clothes and a child were engrossed in playing various rides.
Ye Ziyu left the Math Olympiad class with Xing Xing. They stood on the road, neither speaking.
A mother and daughter walked past, the little girl asking her mother for ice cream. Their gazes followed the receding figures. Xing Xing looked up at Ye Ziyu and found her looking at him as well.
They exchanged smiles. Ye Ziyu looked at Xing Xing, "Are you hungry?"
After all the running around, she was a bit hungry and figured Xing Xing must be too.
"There's a hot pot place ahead, want to go?" Ye Ziyu asked.
She personally couldn't eat very spicy food, but the spice in hot pot was something she could tolerate.
Xing Xing was like a perfect boyfriend; he would accompany Ye Ziyu in whatever she wanted to do.
Upon arriving at the hot pot restaurant, it was probably not yet mealtime, as only staff were present besides them.
The menu was placed before them. Ye Ziyu sat down beside Xing Xing. Their shoulders touched as they looked down at the same menu.
"Can you eat spicy food?" Ye Ziyu asked.
Xing Xing nodded and then shook his head.
Ye Ziyu smiled and marked "mildly spicy" on the menu.
After casually selecting some dishes, Ye Ziyu found that Xing Xing's preferences were very similar to hers. What they liked and disliked were almost identical, as if they had lived together for a long time.
While waiting for the food, Ye Ziyu observed Xing Xing, "Do you often eat out?"
Ye Shaoting was so busy, and even when he ate out, it was with clients.
"Do you have any places you want to go or things you want to do?" Ye Ziyu asked.
After the incident with Kang Kang, she no longer cared whether Xing Xing was one of the four children. Even if he wasn't, she hoped Xing Xing would be happy and feel the love and companionship of family like any normal child.
Xing Xing thought seriously.
Wishes?
He wanted Ye Ziyu to be his mother, but that was very difficult to achieve. After all, she was Di Mingjue's wife and the mother of Xiao Ran and the others. How could she possibly become his mother?
Xing Xing shook his head and said earnestly, "No."
"It's okay. If there's anything you want to do, you can tell me, and I'll accompany you." As Ye Ziyu finished speaking, the waiter brought over the dishes.
Looking at the steaming hot pot, Ye Ziyu had a sudden urge to take a photo to record the moment. She took out her phone from her backpack, and with a click, Xing Xing and the hot pot were captured in her picture.
