Call Me Dad

Yan Xu looked up into Shen Yi's sincere eyes, and his earnest expression amused her.

Yan Xu gently patted his shoulder: "Hey, have you been reading too many romance novels? You sound like a domineering CEO."

"What if I really am a domineering CEO?" Shen Yi said with a smug look, "The kind of top-tier domineering CEO with hundreds of millions in assets."

He's getting narcissistic again.

Yan Xu chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes! A domineering CEO who opened a hardware store in a third-tier county after going bankrupt. But what domineering CEO go on blind dates?"

Yan Xu teased him, and Shen Yi, feeling rebuffed, leaned down affectionately to look at her closely. Their eyes were locked in a deep, almost tangible gaze, like aloe vera gel.

Shen Yi gently pinched the tip of her nose and said softly, "I didn't expect you to be so naughty. Kid, stay with the adults so you don't get lost."

After saying that, he took Yan Xu's hand and walked towards the queue window for the amusement park rides.

Yan Xu felt the warmth of his palm, slightly warmer than her body temperature.

This slight temperature difference travels along the skin to the heart, and it warms the heart as well.

It seems like being seriously together with him would be quite nice.

The two are now queuing to ride bumper cars.

Yan Xu knows nothing about cars, whether it's a bicycle, an electric scooter, or a four-wheeled car.

Her previous emotional issues even prevented her from learning to drive normally.

Because she often gets very emotional whenever she sees a car passing by.

So she still doesn't have a driver's license.

Yan Xu shook his hand, her voice a little timid: "Do we really have to play with cars? How about we play something else?"

Although her physical condition has improved a lot, she is still afraid that she will lose control of her emotions.

Shen Yi glanced at the tourists having fun inside, then looked down to observe Yan Xu's expression: "Are you scared?"

"Yes," Yan Xu admitted frankly, "I'm afraid of cars, any kind of car."

I've always wanted to overcome it, but I haven't been able to.

There are still five or six people ahead of us; we can leave now.

Shen Yi tightened his grip on her hand, intending to leave: "If you're worried, don't force yourself. Let's change the project."

But just when he wanted to take her away, Yan Xu refused to leave.

She pouted, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness she herself didn't realize: "But I want to play..."

He's bad at games but loves to play.

I'm afraid, but I want to try.

In short, Yan Xu wanted to play.

Shen Yi was amused by her, his cheekbones involuntarily rising: "Okay, whatever you say."

Their conversation was natural yet ambiguous, reminiscent of a young married couple.

After waiting in line for about ten minutes, it was their turn.

Yan Xu chose a bumper car shaped like an off-road vehicle, while Shen Yi chose a car with cartoon patterns.

As soon as Yan Xu sat down and fastened her seatbelt, a sudden, violent impact shook the car, causing it to move a meter away.

"Shen! Yi!" Yan Xu gritted her teeth and pressed her advantage, but she was not familiar with the steering wheel and it took her a long time to get the hang of it.

Men are like wild horses when they encounter a car.

What wife? She doesn't exist.

They were all opponents in the game.

Shen Yi let loose and started provoking Yan Xu in a cheeky manner. When Yan Xu caught up with him, he kept running away.

The two drove bumper cars, staging a chase and escape, a scene of them flying away together.

A young tourist nearby couldn't help but joke, "Look how much fun everyone else is having. Unlike us single folks, we get bored after a couple of tries."

The desire to find a partner reaches its peak at this moment.

Yan Xu listened to what they were saying and wondered to herself: Does her relationship with Shen Yi seem very close to outsiders?

But they had never even kissed, and their first natural hand-holding had happened just ten minutes earlier.

I got distracted while thinking.

Seeing that her car had stopped and pulled up beside him, Shen Yi asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you go out and rest for a while?"

Yan Xu nodded, feeling a bit tired from playing.

As soon as you exit the bumper cars, there's a row of stalls selling fruit juice and snacks.

When they passed the coconut juice stall, Yan Xu immediately stopped and refused to move. Shen Yi realized he couldn't pull her away, and then he saw that she was observing how the stall owner opened the coconut shells.

The owner took his tools and tapped the hole repeatedly until he quickly made one at the top. He then inserted a straw, and the tourist could drink from it.

Yan Xu pointed to the unopened coconuts: "Boss, I want two."

The shop owner looked up and saw two handsome men and beautiful women speaking in accented Mandarin: "Would you like some oden? Handsome, would you like to buy one for your girlfriend?"

This boss is quite good at business.

Instead of asking Yan Xu directly, she would ask him for money under the pretext of buying food for her girlfriend, and in this case, the man would usually not refuse.

Shen Yi looked down at Yan Xu and asked, "Want some? How about one?"

I didn't really want to eat it, but I wanted to buy it, and I wanted him to buy it for me.

Yan Xu hesitated for a moment: "Buy them, just pick a few."

In front of the stall was a seating area for tourists. They found a spot and sat down, and Shen Yi thoughtfully tore off a piece of paper to wipe the stool for them.

Yan Xu couldn't help but marvel at his attentiveness. Shen Yi had barely sat down when she interrogated him: "Have you ever been in a relationship before?"

Shen Yi asked, somewhat puzzled, "No, why are you suddenly asking this?"

Yan Xu didn't believe it: "Impossible. If you hadn't dated anyone, how could you be so caring? You're always wiping the chair for me and spouting sweet nothings so easily. You must have dated someone."

They might have dated quite a few people, so they have a lot of dating experience.

Her reasons were quite convincing, but he really didn't.

Shen Yi: "I call it 'a willing person can learn even without being taught.' I've never been in a relationship, but people around me have. After seeing how others date, I naturally learned how to do it myself."

It's just that other people's relationships don't progress as slowly as his.

However, relationships take time and can't be rushed.

Yan Xu still didn't believe it.

In her mind, a man who is handsome, has a good physique, is generous, caring, and has sound values ​​must have many girls pursuing him.

However, under the same conditions, girls will only be harassed by many blindly arrogant average men.

When will society enable men to improve their self-awareness?

Shen Yi countered with, "Did you date before you married me?"

He was also curious about this matter.

"Huh?" The question suddenly hit her, and she couldn't answer it. "Um... the oden is getting cold, eat it quickly."

The answer is the one that doesn't answer the question.

That means we talked about it...

Shen Yi's face immediately darkened, a tightness pressing in his chest. He coldly asked, "How long have you been dating? How many have you dated? How did you meet?"

With one question after another coming at him, what should Yan Xu do if he wants to escape?

Yan Xu took a bite of oden, then looked up to observe his expression; it didn't seem good...

She took another sip of coconut juice: "The weather is really nice today, blue sky and white clouds."

"..." Seeing her guilty look, Shen Yi let her off the hook. "Let's go ride the roller coaster later."

Occasionally engaging in thrilling activities can help you relax.

Yan Xu nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with anticipation: "Okay."

She had always wanted to ride a roller coaster, but no one had ever done it with her before.

There are several types of roller coasters, including those that are not thrilling and suitable for children, as well as vertical roller coasters that will make you scream.

Yan Xu chose the first option without hesitation.

Don't ask... the answer is just that I'm a coward.

Among the parents and children queuing up, there was an unusual couple.

Yan Xu was a little embarrassed: "Should we not have chosen this? It feels like they're all playing with the kids, while the two of us adults are playing by ourselves."

Shen Yi whispered in her ear, a sly glint in his eyes: "How about I reluctantly become your father? That way, it'll be the parents playing with the kids."

"..."

Yan Xu punched his arm, somewhat annoyed: "You took advantage of me, I'm ignoring you."

Girls get angry quickly and they get angry quickly too.

Shen Yi put his arm around her shoulder and whispered in her ear again, "So, do you agree to let me take advantage of you?"

After speaking, Yan Xu lifted her eyes to meet his invasive gaze.

At this point, "taking advantage" is no longer a term of address, but rather a form of intimate contact.

Yan Xu's ears burned a little. She quickly looked away: "I saved it on my phone, hurry up!"

This man is getting better and better at cracking jokes.

It truly lives up to its reputation as an old iron tree; once it starts blooming, it can't stop.
