Zhang Peng, who had stood up, heard Tian Jiajia’s words and gave Qin Tian a resentful look.
Qin Tian felt goosebumps and ignored him, turning to ask Xia Nuannuan, "Do you need help?"
"No, I'll try first."
Xia Nuannuan shook her head and cautiously entered the ice rink.
Clearly, she had forgotten how to play and stumbled slightly.
Qin Tian quickly slid over, took her arm, and began teaching her how to play.
In fact, he didn't know much either; he had only played a few times before his rebirth.
However, his control over his body had reached a very high level.
"Hey, Nuannuan, didn't you say you knew how to play and could teach me? What about me?"
Tian Jiajia stood at the entrance, calling out with a pained expression.
"I really played when I was little, Jiajia, please wait a moment while I get familiar with it."
Xia Nuannuan, protected by Qin Tian beside her, slid forward slowly while speaking loudly.
"Alright!"
Tian Jiajia responded helplessly and looked at the ice surface in front of her. She extended her right foot, wearing ice skates, to test it, but still didn't dare to step in.
Looking up at Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan, who were already happily skating, she cast a resentful gaze towards Zhang Peng not far away.
Zhang Peng let out a surprised yelp and once again sat down on the ice with a thud.
Seeing this, Tian Jiajia sighed even more helplessly.
"Jiajia, don't rush, I'll learn it soon. I'll come help you."
Zhang Peng, still sitting, turned and shouted.
Hearing this, Tian Jiajia rolled her eyes speechlessly, thinking that it would be better to wait for the sun to rise tomorrow morning than for him to learn.
"Zhang Peng, you should learn to stand still first. You haven't even learned to walk, so don't think about running."
Xu Hao was already skating around the rink skillfully, saying loudly to Zhang Peng with a smile.
"What are you showing off about? So what if you can play? You're still just spinning around here by yourself."
Zhang Peng, unwilling to be outdone, tried to inflict mental damage on this single person.
However, Xu Hao just smiled dismissively.
He was an experienced person who had dated before and was now in a state of detachment from worldly affairs, so how could he be hurt by such petty tricks?
"I've got it. See, I've learned."
Xia Nuannuan skated in circles around Qin Tian, her face beaming with joy.
"Amazing!"
Qin Tian gave her a thumbs-up in admiration.
"Hehe... Okay, Brother, you go play. I'll go teach Jiajia."
Xia Nuannuan said happily, then slid towards Tian Jiajia, who was holding onto the railings around the rink and slowly shuffling forward.
"Then you two be careful, don't fall."
Qin Tian reminded them.
"Got it, don't worry!"
Xia Nuannuan replied.
Qin Tian smiled, then turned and chased after Xu Hao.
"Tian Ge, quick, help me up!"
Zhang Peng, who had finally managed to stand up from the ground, shouted loudly when he saw Qin Tian slide past him.
"You should fall a few more times. Maybe you'll learn by falling."
Qin Tian left him with a sentence without looking back and sped away.
"Sigh, what kind of friends are these!"
Zhang Peng sighed with a melancholy expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, those few elementary school students suddenly came over, circling him.
"Hey, need any help?"
The leading boy asked with a smile.
Zhang Peng looked at him with surprise, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.
"There are four of us. The tickets are two hundred yuan. Give it to me, and I'll teach you."
The boy said with a smile.
"Go away, go play somewhere else!"
Zhang Peng waved his hand and drove them away with a dark expression.
"Tsk, stingy! A clumsy idiot who can't even skate. Hope you fall a few more times."
The boy complained with disdain.
"Stingy, big idiot!"
"Stingy, big idiot!!"
The other children echoed loudly, jeering.
"Hey... If you have the guts, come over here, and I'll teach you a lesson."
Zhang Peng roared furiously, making a move as if to grab them.
However, this time the venue dictated that he couldn't be as manly as before. In his haste, his foot slipped, and he fell again.
"Hahaha..."
The three youths burst into unrestrained laughter.
Xia Nuannuan and Tian Jiajia looked displeased at the sight.
"Laughing at your mom? Do you want to die?"
Xu Hao yelled angrily at the three of them.
Qin Tian and Xu Hao skated rapidly around the rink, chatting.
Their partnered game boosting store's business had been getting better and better as the game League of Legends became more and more popular.
Every month, Xu Hao would tally the profits and transfer Qin Tian's share to him.
Sometimes it was over a hundred thousand, and sometimes, when the market was good, it could even reach three to four hundred thousand.
For ordinary people, this was not a small sum; it even exceeded the annual income of an average family.
After Qin Tian went to college, he basically stopped managing the partnered business, and Xu Hao was busy with it alone.
Therefore, Qin Tian actually felt a bit embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly said that he could voluntarily reduce his share by twenty percent.
"Master, what are you talking about? No, absolutely not!"
Xu Hao flatly refused and said seriously, "If it weren't for your idea back then, Master, I wouldn't have been able to turn this interest into a profession. Now I've become relatively successful among my peers. You don't know how much my dad used to look down on me. Although he still appears very indifferent, my mom said he often brags to relatives and friends, saying that it doesn't matter if I didn't go to college; I'm still successful."
"But I'm not doing anything and getting so much money every month..."
"Nonsense. This boosting store's reputation was built by you, Master. The initial capital was also split fifty-fifty, so the profits must also be split fifty-fifty. We agreed on this, so there's no backing out. Don't mention this again."
"Alright!"
Qin Tian smiled with a hint of helplessness, thinking that his foresight was truly good.
For ordinary people, why would they refuse such a good thing?
"Master, look over there. It seems like someone is causing trouble."
Xu Hao suddenly raised his hand, pointed to the distance, and said in a deep voice.
Qin Tian followed his gaze and saw Xia Nuannuan and Tian Jiajia at the edge of the ice rink being harassed by a few young men.
Zhang Peng was relatively far away and, facing away from that direction, seemed not to have noticed yet.
"Let's go!"
Qin Tian directly changed direction and headed towards Xia Nuannuan.
Xu Hao immediately followed.
"Zhang Peng!!"
Tian Jiajia suddenly shouted.
"Hmm?"
Zhang Peng responded and looked back.
Upon seeing the three young men, his expression immediately darkened.
"Beautiful lady, is that your boyfriend? He doesn't look like much, and he can't skate either."
One of the young men taunted with disdain.
The other two chuckled playfully at the remark.
"None of your business. We already said we have boyfriends, so hurry up and leave. Don't stay here."
Tian Jiajia said with displeasure, trying to drive them away.
"Who are you guys, and what are you doing?"
Zhang Peng moved towards them, asking loudly.
"I'm your dad, come here!"
The young man hooked his finger and provocatively shouted.
"Damn!"
Zhang Peng's anger ignited instantly, and he quickened his pace to go and beat them up.
However, this time the venue destined that he couldn't be as manly as last time. In his haste, his foot slipped, and he fell again.
"Hahaha..."
The three youths burst into unrestrained laughter.
Xia Nuannuan and Tian Jiajia looked displeased at the sight.
"Laughing at your mom? Do you want to die?"
Xu Hao yelled angrily at the three of them.
