Chapter 37 Happy Time (1/2)

The next day, Ouyang Guang slowly opened his eyes amidst a series of hurried knocks on the door.

He rubbed his confused head, stood up and opened the door, then saw Chen Zheng's energetic face, who was bending over to help Chang Kang, a little over two years old, put on his little shoes with dinosaur patterns.

Chang Kang's feet kept kicking around and he was mumbling "car" and "play" incoherently.

"Oh my god, you're finally awake!" Chen Zheng raised his head, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, "Kang Kang insisted on following us out!"

Ouyang Guang raised the corners of his lips slightly, bent down and picked up the twisting Chang Kang. The little guy immediately hugged his neck and put his sticky little face on his shoulder.

"Be good, let your brother change his clothes first, then take us to get a haircut, and then we'll go to the amusement park to play with the train, okay?" His voice was still hoarse from just waking up, but he softened his tone unconsciously.

Chang Kang nodded as if he understood, and played with the buttons on his collar with his fingers.

He Zilin and He Ziqi leaned against the door frame and couldn't help laughing. He Ziqi shook the children's comb in his hand and said, "Xiaoguang, if you don't cut your 'pudding hair', I'm afraid Kang Kang will eat it as a two-color ice cream later."

Ouyang Guang looked down at Chang Kang who was staring at his hair curiously in his arms, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, let's go quickly."

The group came to the barber shop. The barber looked at Ouyang Guang's hair and joked with a smile: "This hairstyle is quite unique."

"Just dye it back to black and cut it shorter." Ouyang Guang touched his hair helplessly.

While the haircut was going on, Chen Zheng and a few others were chattering nearby.

He Zilin said seriously: "It looks neater if it's cut shorter, and the black color also looks more energetic.

He Ziqi joked: "Now I can finally transform from a 'rock singer' back into a handsome senior."

Ouyang Guang listened to what they said and ignored it.

Chang Kang sat in He Zilin's arms, looking at Ouyang Guang in the mirror curiously, and suddenly shouted in a baby voice: "Brother, change!" Making everyone laugh.

After cutting his hair, Ouyang Guang looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

Chen Zheng came over and tried to put his arm around his shoulders, but he pushed him away: "Hurry up, Chang Kang can't wait to go to the amusement park."

In the amusement park in the afternoon, Ouyangguang held Changkang in his arms, carrying a small backpack full of snacks in one hand, and Changan followed beside him.

He Ziqi and He Zilin each pulled Changxi and Changle, who were jumping around, and Chen Zheng jumped around them.

Chang Kang was wearing a dinosaur jumpsuit and holding Ouyang Guang's fingers tightly. From time to time, he looked up and called in a baby voice: "Brother, car!" He was pointing at the little train with white mist coming out of it in the distance. He rubbed against Ouyang Guang's arms, his cheeks flushed with anxiety.

"Don't worry, let's go buy the tickets first." Ouyangguang put him down and helped him put on the crooked bear hat. "Look, Sister Changxi can't wait."

Changxi came over immediately, her braid brushing across Ouyangguang's arm: "Brother, I want to ride the carousel first. There's a pink pony on it!"

Changle nodded and grabbed the corner of Ouyang Guang's clothes with her little hand: "And the wings will glow!"

Chen Zheng ran over from behind and deliberately lowered his voice to imitate the monster's roar: "Awoo - catch the little babies!" Chang Kang was so scared that he hid behind Ouyang Guang, revealing half of his face to watch secretly, then suddenly giggled and reached out to pat Chen Zheng's belly.

He Zilin shook his head helplessly and helped Ouyang Guang put Chang Kang's scattered bib back on: "Chen Zheng, how can you be more childish than a two-year-old child!"

When boarding the retro train, Chang Kang was so excited that he kept hitting the window, and his saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth onto his bib.

Ouyangguang took out a wet towel and gently wiped it off, then stuffed his little hand into his coat pocket: "It's windy, keep your hands away."

When the train started moving, the little guy stared at the cartoon sculptures passing by outside the window, and suddenly pointed at a painted giraffe and shouted, "Lulu!" His voice was so childish that it made the tourists sitting next to him laugh.

Chen Zheng leaned on the car window and made faces. Chang Kang was amused by his exaggerated expression and laughed so hard that he accidentally hit his forehead.

Ouyangguang immediately hugged him in his arms and rubbed his little head: "Don't be afraid, brother will blow on it and it won't hurt." The warm breath brushed across his forehead. Changkang blinked his big eyes and actually reached out to grab Ouyangguang's hair, muttering: "Heihei..."

On the carousel, Changxi picked a pony with pink wings. Ouyangguang carried Changkang onto the white wooden horse next to them, and he stood beside them, holding his waist.

The little guy went up and down with the wooden horse. He was a little nervous at first, but later he even hummed a tuneless tune along with the music.

He Ziqi was holding up a mobile phone to record the video, and jokingly said that he would send it to the class group to see the "cute contrast of a cool and aloof Oppa taking care of the baby."

After getting off the wooden horse, Chang Kang pointed at the cotton candy cart in the distance and swallowed his saliva.

As soon as Ouyang Guang took out his wallet, Chen Zheng rushed to buy some. When he came back, he held up two crooked balls of pink and white marshmallows and said proudly, "Look at my craftsmanship. They're better looking than those in the dessert shop!"

Chang Kang took the marshmallow, his little hands were full of sugar threads, and his face was covered with them. Ouyang Guang had no choice but to take out tissue paper to help him wipe it off little by little, even the sugar grains on his eyelashes were not spared.

"Brother, there are cars over there!" Chang Kang pointed at the roller coaster in the distance and shouted excitedly.

"Do you dare to sit down?" He Zilin asked Chang Kang with a smile.

"I dare!" Chang Kang puffed out his chest, looking like a little man.

"Even if you dare, you can't play~" Ouyang Guang hugged Chang Kang and pinched his face.

Looking at the roller coaster whizzing by, Changxi and Changle were very excited. They jumped up and down, pulling He Ziqi and He Zilin's hands and clamoring to play.

Finally, Changxi and Changle followed Chen Zheng, He Zilin and He Ziqi to ride the roller coaster, while Ouyang Guang took Changkang and Changan to play bumper cars and the Ferris wheel.

On the bumper cars, Ouyang Guang and the children bumped into each other, and their laughter echoed throughout the venue.

After getting off the bumper car, Chang Kang's dinosaur shoe laces came undone. Ouyang Guang squatted on the ground to help him tie the shoe laces, but the little guy took the opportunity to press his candy-stained little hands on his shoulders.

Ouyang Guang helplessly patted away the sugar grains and scratched Chang Kang's little nose: "You are such a little troublemaker."

Sitting on the Ferris wheel, overlooking the entire amusement park and the city, Changan said with emotion: "It's so beautiful. When can we go there together again?"

"Brother will take you to more fun places in the future." said Ouyang Guang.

After coming out of the amusement park, the children were tired and hungry.

Changkang had fallen asleep in Ouyangguang's arms, his little mouth still slightly open, and his hand tightly holding the remaining half of a biscuit.

Ouyang Guang carefully put him into the stroller and covered him with a small blanket. Looking at his brother's sleeping face, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised in a gentle arc.

Chen Zheng came over and tried to pinch Chang Kang's little face, but he was gently slapped away: "Don't wake him up."

They found a restaurant and ordered fried chicken, French fries and burgers, which the children loved.

"We had so much fun today!" Changxi and Changle said while eating fried chicken.

"Do you still want to play with your brothers in the future?" Chen Zheng asked.

"Yes!" the children answered in unison.

In the evening, Ouyangguang changed his clothes and went to the restaurant where his junior high school classmates were having a reunion with Chen Zheng and others. As soon as he entered the private room, he heard a cheer.

"Ouyangguang! Long time no see!"

"School Prince, being a trainee in Korea is different. You are getting more and more handsome!"

The classmates gathered around and greeted Ouyangguang enthusiastically. Ouyangguang greeted everyone one by one.

"I heard that your training in Korea was very hard. Is that true?" a classmate asked with concern.

Ouyang Guang shook his head and said, "Not bad."

After the party started, everyone sat together, eating and chatting. Some shared their interesting experiences in different classes after entering high school, some complained about the pressure of studying, and some took out photos from junior high school and recalled the past.

"Do you remember the time during the sports meet when Chen Zheng ran 100 meters and fell flat on his face?" the squad leader suddenly said.

The entire box was in an uproar. Chen Zheng blushed and quickly explained, "It was an accident! If my shoelaces hadn't come undone, I would have definitely won first place!"

Ouyang Guang couldn't help laughing and said jokingly, "Chen Zheng, I still remember you got up and continued to run, and in the end you got last place, which made the physical education teacher stunned."
