"No." Tang Rui refused without thinking. Just as he was about to go back, he was stopped by Lu An Ning.
She looked at him eagerly, feeling somewhat pitiful. Tang Rui frowned: "You are an adult, yet you act like a spoiled child to me."
"Aren't we friends? If I'm unhappy, just consider it as keeping me company. I've inquired, and you guys are studying this morning. For a genius like you, taking a half-day break shouldn't be a big deal."
Tang Rui couldn't resist Lu An Ning's soft and hard persuasion, and was pulled into the car by Lu An Ning. He was still thinking about what she had just said. This woman actually treated him as a friend.
True or false?
In the car, Tang Rui asked, "What could possibly make you unhappy?"
"Xiao Rui, are you concerned about me?"
Tang Rui glanced at Lu An Ning and turned his little face to the window: "You can say it if you want."
Lu Anning was secretly amazed. This little boy looked quite like Tang Jingyuan. They were indeed father and son.
She sighed and said, "Do you know Ye Lingfei?"
Tang Rui frowned and turned his gaze back to Lu Anning: "Isn't she in Kyoto?"
Lu An Ning sighed again: "As expected! Even you know of her existence, she must be different to your father."
Lu An Ning began to narrate with deep emotion, talking about the various things Ye Lingfei had done since coming to Jiangcheng, and appropriately used some exaggeration to express his mood. Tang Rui believed it without a doubt.
"Why hasn't she given up on my dad yet? I told her to give up on this idea three years ago, but she's still clinging to it."
"After all, your father and she are childhood sweethearts. Once she makes a fuss, I seem less important. I've been feeling unhappy lately, and if I keep suppressing it, I'll go crazy. So, today I want you to accompany me to relax."
Tang Rui frowned. "There's no hope for Ye Lingfei! Don't worry, my dad won't divorce you."
"Just because you don't know how to do it now doesn't mean you won't know how to do it in the future!"
"My dad doesn't like her type. If we really wanted to be together, I would have had a younger brother long ago. Why would we have to wait until now? Relax. Seeing you look so pitiful, I'll just stay with you."
Lu Anning smiled awkwardly: "Thank you for being so generous."
A ten-year-old child knows quite a lot and speaks like an adult. Lu Anning is curious about how this child has grown up to be so sensible. Pretty thoughtful!
At the entrance of the amusement park, two people, one big and one small, stared inside for a long time.
"Are you sure you want to come here to relax?" Tang Rui looked at the entertainment facilities inside with some disdain, but he couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation. He heard from his classmates that the amusement park is very fun, and he wondered if it was true.
"What else? You don't know how thrilling bungee jumping and roller coasters are. I'm just afraid to go alone, so you come with me."
"Childish." Tang Rui glanced at Lu An Ning with disdain and walked in first.
Lu Anning saw through it but didn't say anything. She chased after him, took out a lollipop from her bag and handed it to Tang Rui. After being rejected twice, she successfully shut Tang Rui up.
Lu Anning took Tang Rui to run and laugh wildly in the amusement park, scream in the haunted house, secretly took pictures of Tang Rui's various expressions, and bought him a cute mouse ear headband, but he also checked in together.
Tang Rui expressed disdain and acted arrogant at first, but once things got interesting, he took the initiative to drag Lu An Ning around. Seeing the innocent smile on the child's face, Lu An Ning nodded in satisfaction. This was the expression he should have at his age.
After coming out of the amusement park, Lu Anning took Tang Rui to a parent-child restaurant for dinner according to the planned route.
Of course, it is not an ordinary family restaurant.
From the outside, it looks more like a small courtyard in the field, with white walls and wooden doors, and roses climbing on both sides. As soon as you enter the yard, you can see the cozy doghouse in the southeast corner. Two black Labradors are eating side by side. If you look closely, you will find that there are several furry little heads under one of the big black dogs.
As soon as he came in, Lu An Ning found that Tang Rui had stopped and was staring at the dog family with longing in his eyes.
After all, he is still a child!
Lu Anning smiled knowingly: "Hey! This restaurant sounds special, they actually have a dog. This big black dog is quite cute, don't you think? Xiao Rui, do you like dogs?"
Tang Rui came back to his senses and immediately looked away: "I don't like it."
He stopped looking at the dog and walked in quickly. Lu An Ning followed with a smile without exposing him.
The boss was very welcoming. Lu Anning specifically ordered Tang Rui's favorite dishes and sat by the window, where Tang Rui could just see the scenery in the yard. Seeing that he was staring intently, Lu Anning didn't interrupt. Even during the meal, Tang Rui's eyes would occasionally glance in the direction of the doghouse.
After the meal, Lu Anning saw that the time was right and pulled Tang Rui to the yard to see the dog.
She squatted beside the big dog and gently stroked its head: "Xiao Rui, this dog is so well-behaved. You say, our house is so spacious, how about raising a dog? It's perfect, and you can let it accompany you to relieve your boredom."
Lu Anning was interacting with the dog while smiling and asking Tang Rui. Unexpectedly, Tang Rui's expression suddenly changed.
"No, I don't like dogs. Let's go after we finish eating!" He didn't even want to look at them again. Lu An Ning quickly stepped forward and pulled Tang Rui aside: "Wait, I have a little surprise prepared for you."
Tang Rui was suspicious, but at this moment, the boss came out pushing a cake and singing Happy Birthday. The yard was filled with blessings.
After the song ended, a cake was brought to Tang Rui. It was his favorite vanilla flavor. Regardless of the reason, Lu Anning still wanted to make Tang Rui happy. She knew it was risky, but she still wanted to try.
For a long time, Tang Rui stared at the cake without saying a word.
"Xiao Rui, what's wrong? Blow out the candles! I prepared your favorite vanilla ice cream cake. How can you not celebrate your birthday, kid?"
Lu An Ning smiled and tried to hold his hand, but Tang Rui suddenly dodged, his eyes full of resistance.
"What do you know! What qualifications do you have to celebrate my birthday? I don't want a dog, let alone a birthday. No one can replace her! I hate you." Tang Rui suddenly yelled and ran out. Lu An Ning panicked and quickly chased after him.
Tang Rui ran very fast, got into a taxi as soon as he walked out the door, and drove away.
Lu Anning failed to catch up and watched the taxi disappear from his sight, feeling extremely regretful.
He is only ten years old. If he runs away in such excitement, what if something happens?
