CHAPTER 95: CHAPTER 94: PLAYING

The inpatient building of the First Affiliated Hospital.

"Brother!" A clear voice rang out behind Yang Chen.

Yang Chen turned around, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Chen Siyan was wearing a wig styled with two jet-black braids like little horns, making her look particularly adorable.

Ding Yutong seemed to have done her makeup, giving her features a small and delicate look. Her rosy lips were glossed with lipstick, and her shiny eyes fluttered with long eyelashes, adding to her cuteness.

"Do I look good?" Chen Siyan spun in a circle in front of Yang Chen, her denim overalls and white T-shirt radiating youth and energy.

Ding Yutong came up and placed a sunhat on Chen Siyan’s head, enhancing her vibrant youthful aura.

"Looking great!" Yang Chen nodded with a smile.

"Do I look good, Director?" Chen Siyan smiled widely at Qin Zhiyuan.

"Looking great!" Qin Zhiyuan nodded with satisfaction, "Yanyan has grown into a young lady. Once you’re done with your surgery, I’ll have Teacher Ding introduce you to a boyfriend."

"Oh, stop it, Director!" Chen Siyan’s face turned red. She grabbed Qin Zhiyuan’s arm and said, "I don’t want a boyfriend. I’d rather stay with you and help you manage those troublemakers."

Qin Zhiyuan laughed happily, his wrinkles smoothing out, "Haha, I’m afraid if you join, our enrollment rate will plummet!"

"Come on!" Chen Siyan pouted, "Am I that scary? Look how cute I am!"

Chen Siyan tugged at her little braids, looking playful and cute.

Qin Zhiyuan chuckled, "Alright, alright, once you’re better, I’ll let you be the class teacher, okay? Now go play with your brother, I have things to do."

"Do you need me to take you?" Yang Chen looked at Qin Zhiyuan.

"No need!" Qin Zhiyuan waved his hand, "You guys go have fun."

Yang Chen gave Qin Zhiyuan a complex look for a moment, then nodded slowly and left with Ding Yutong and Chen Siyan.

Downstairs, Ding Yutong said to the two, "You guys go play, I’m heading back to school."

"Oh no!" Chen Siyan clung to Ding Yutong, pouting, "Sister Yutong, come play with us! It’ll be so boring with just the two of us!"

Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly, realizing this little girl thought he was boring.

"Teacher Ding," Yang Chen added, "Look at my quiet nature, Yanyan won’t have much fun with me. Why don’t you join us, and I’ll be your bag carrier."

"Yeah, Sister Yutong, come with us!" Chen Siyan pouted.

Ding Yutong couldn’t resist the two and reluctantly followed them into the car.

Joy Park.

From a distance before even reaching Joy Park, Chen Siyan was already screaming in excitement. She had never been here before and had never seen buildings like a fairy tale kingdom.

After buying tickets and entering, Chen Siyan immediately pulled Yang Chen to buy all sorts of snacks.

Ding Yutong noticed that Yang Chen directly took out a stack of cash, pulling out a few bills to pay for Chen Siyan. She couldn’t help but frown.

She reminded, "Yang Chen, be mindful of your money. Why bring so much cash?"

The saying goes, "Don’t flaunt your wealth," and Yang Chen openly showing a stack of cash in such a crowded place wasn’t a good idea. If it got stolen, it wouldn’t be good.

Yang Chen laughed, "Okay, I got it."

He wasn’t afraid of any thief. If someone could actually steal something from him, then he’d think that thief had potential!

Colorful cotton candy, sugar-coated hawthorns, "donkey" rolls, donkey oil pancakes, grilled squid... The variety of snacks was dazzling, and Yang Chen had never seen many of them.

The truth was, in childhood, both Yang Chen and Chen Siyan lived in an orphanage and had no money to go out and play.

Yang Chen had joined the Guard and was always carrying out tasks in various places, with no opportunity to visit such entertainment venues.

Even when he was abroad, he didn’t get to experience these traditional snacks from his home country.

"Brother, have a bite!" Chen Siyan offered the sugar-coated hawthorn to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen took a bite with a smile. It was sweet and sour and very tasty.

Chen Siyan was like a bird set free from a cage, cheering and running ahead, curious and interested in everything.

Yang Chen and Ding Yutong followed behind, with little to talk about, feeling slightly awkward.

"Teacher Ding, thank you for helping Yanyan." Yang Chen didn’t know what else to say.

Ding Yutong glanced at the slightly awkward Yang Chen and smiled, "You’ve said that many times; I’m just doing what I should do."

Yang Chen scratched his head, "I thought no one would care about us, but then there’s someone as kind as you."

To be honest, Yang Chen was truly grateful to Ding Yutong.

He didn’t know how the director and Chen Siyan had managed all these years without him. It seemed the people from the orphanage hadn’t done much, nor had anyone really taken care of them. But that a stranger like Ding Yutong would choose to help Chen Siyan made Yang Chen very grateful.

Ding Yutong shook her head and smiled, "No need to thank me, I started as a volunteer. Later, because of a friend’s connection, I learned about Chen Siyan. After helping her, I really liked this little girl, so I chose to take special care of her."

"A friend?" Yang Chen couldn’t help but wonder who this person was.

"Brother, Sister Yutong, I want to play bumper cars!" Chen Siyan shouted, interrupting their conversation and also Yang Chen’s thoughts.

After buying tickets, the three of them got on the bumper cars.

It was Yang Chen’s first time playing such a game. Watching the cars crash into each other, he couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous, afraid of hurting Chen Siyan.

Chen Siyan laughed, watching Yang Chen, "Brother, you look so funny sitting in such a small car as a big guy."

Yang Chen’s face turned black: "..."

If he weren’t here to look after Chen Siyan, he wouldn’t be doing such an uncool thing.

At this point, the cars started moving.

Chen Siyan laughed and darted off, and Yang Chen quickly followed.

Then, a boy drove towards Chen Siyan to crash into her.

Yang Chen’s eyes sharpened as he stepped on the gas, intercepting the boy’s car head-on.

Bam!

The two cars collided, but nothing serious happened.

Just then, Chen Siyan also screamed and collided with someone else, laughing joyously.

Only then did Yang Chen realize that these bumper cars wouldn’t harm Chen Siyan.

After this, Yang Chen roamed the periphery, keeping an eye on Chen Siyan and Ding Yutong.

They played for quite a while before the two girls emerged with faces full of excitement and a lingering look of wanting more.

Chen Siyan looked like a cute little girl, possibly a high schooler or a first-year college student.

Ding Yutong, on the other hand, was a gentle beauty filled with intellect, wearing a floral dress, a graceful sunhat, and with her long hair draped over her shoulders, her temperament captivating.

Two young men who appeared to be university students, and quite handsome, approached.

With nervous faces, blushing, they asked Ding Yutong, "Miss, can we add you on WeChat?"
