The two girls, one big and one small, stared in disbelief, thinking that Ye Zhou was fiddling with the control levers because he was angry.

Pull down the control lever.

The robotic gripper moved downwards and threaded through the thin line of the tag on the rabbit doll's ear.

He wobbled as he picked up a small rabbit doll.

Upon seeing this, Little Peach immediately jumped up and down, clapping her little hands together.

"Brother Xiaozhou is the best, and Sister Pretty is the dumbest."

She knows how to put others down.

When the handle moves, it doesn't pick up a small rabbit; instead, it picks up a rabbit doll head to tail, with the thin thread from the tag tangled together.

This incident unexpectedly led to the discovery of a whole group of rabbits!

Ye Zhou took out a string of rabbit dolls, ten in total.

"Wow, so many little rabbits, so many little rabbits! Brother Xiaozhou is so amazing!"

Little Peach was too big to hold, so Ye Zhou stuffed her into his small backpack, while he was still holding two more in his arms.

"Pretty sister, here's a little bunny for you too!"

Looking at the chubby little hand that offered the bunny, Jiang Jiayan was touched and smiled sincerely, "Thank you."

One was also stuffed into Ye Zhou's hand.

He didn't really want it at first, but seeing this little rabbit easily reminded him of someone with red, teary eyes—it was so cute.

...

"Holy crap, Lao Zhou!"

Liu Tian was eating ice cream when he saw the three people, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Ye Zhou: What are you doing here?

"Of course I came here to ride the bumper cars! Who says adults can't come to amusement parks? A little chubby kid challenged me just now, and he cried when he lost. I'm so tired of winning, hahaha!"

Liu Tian pulled Ye Zhou aside to talk.

"Don't change the subject. When did you and Jiang Jiayan have a child?"

Ye Zhou: "…………Could your thought process be any more normal? That's my cousin's daughter."

"What's the deal with Jiang Jiayan? How come you two seem to get along so well? Old Zhou, a good horse doesn't turn back to eat the grass it already grazed!"

"Don't worry, I won't eat it." Unless he's out of his mind.

"That's good. By the way, is your sister coming back for vacation? When is she coming back?"

Ye Zhou squinted and scrutinized him.

"You're really scheming..."

"I was just asking casually. You know we've known each other for so long, it wouldn't be right if we didn't meet your family."

"I don't know when she'll be back. Maybe she'll be back for a few days. She goes to work during the summer every year."

"What summer job?"

"Film crew, filming."

Liu Tian's eyes lit up. "So, is your sister going to play some kind of stunning beauty, the most beautiful woman in the world? Will your sister become a big star someday?"

"She's in the film crew, playing a Japanese soldier."

"What? What? Cast such a beautiful woman as a Japanese woman? What was the director thinking?" Liu Tian thought of that stunningly beautiful woman who looked almost exactly like Dilraba.

"I guess it's because her accent sounds like that of a Japanese colonel."

Liu Tian wanted to press for more information, but Ye Zhou simply waved goodbye and said goodbye, ending the conversation.

My best friend actually wants to be my brother-in-law...

...

When Ye Zhou went back to find the two girls.

Jiang Jiayan held her phone in her hand, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at him.

Tears fell silently.

Little Peach held Jiang Jiayan's hand, looking up at her with a somewhat bewildered expression.

"Ye Zhou, I'm leaving."

Ye Zhou stood still, the two of them two meters apart.

He remained completely calm on the surface.

“My mother was in a car accident in the United States. She lost too much blood and is unconscious. She is all alone right now, and I think she needs someone to be with her.”

The air felt slightly oppressive, so Ye Zhou took a deep breath.

"Don't you dislike your mother?"

"She gave birth to me after all, she's still my mother."

Jiang Jiayan walked towards Ye Zhou, wrapped her arms around the boy's waist, pressed her face against his warm chest, and listened to his strong heartbeat.

He hugged her so tightly that Ye Zhou could hardly breathe.

"Ye Zhou, I will come back. Wait for me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhou couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, his chest trembling.

Waiting for her?

Waiting for her?

This sentence is all too familiar to anyone.

But what did he get in return?

I waited for nothing...

Only suffering was his constant companion.

"You're really joking," Ye Zhou chuckled.

The rest of the words were left unsaid.

My lips were softly pressed against mine.

A shy yet provocative kiss.

At this moment, Ye Zhou was still able to spare a glance at the little peach not far away.

The little girl covered her eyes, squatted down with her back to the two of them, and looked like she was reflecting on her mistakes.

Jiang Jiayan wasn't a good student, but she was naturally gifted in this area...

If it were Ye Zhou from his previous life, he would probably be so excited that he would explode on the spot, right?

But now, he really doesn't feel anything extra.

Ye Zhou grabbed the girl's shoulders and turned her head away.

The girl's cheeks were flushed, and she lowered her head, panting.

"Ye Zhou, I'm serious, I'll come back. Wait for me."

Ye Zhou stood ramrod straight, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Jiang Jiayan turned and left after receiving no response.

He looked at the girl's slender figure, her pink skirt fluttering in the wind.

Only a fool would believe that.

Little Peach ran over at some point and grabbed Ye Zhou's hand.

"Brother Xiaozhou, is this pretty lady your girlfriend?"

Ye Zhou pondered for a moment.

"no."

"But Mommy said that two people can only kiss if they like each other."
