Back in his previous spot, Aman was still sitting there, looking dazed.
Upon seeing Ning Wan and the others return, Aman greeted them, "Wanwan, where have you been?"
Upon seeing Aman, Lu Chen's expression suddenly turned serious.
He put down the phone for a moment, his gaze fixed intently on Aman: "You..."
"Do you know Aman?" Ning You asked curiously.
"Aman?"
“Mmm. But this shouldn’t be Aman’s real name.” Ning You explained, “Aman has amnesia and was brought back by Wanwan not long ago.”
Finally, Ning You asked again, "Lu Chen, do you know Aman?"
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Lu Chen shook his head: "No, I don't recognize him. He just looks vaguely familiar..."
Ning Wan felt that the person Lu Chen knew could not possibly be an ordinary homeless man.
Aman's identity may be far more complicated than she imagined!
Thinking of this, Ning Wan solemnly said to Lu Chen, "If you remember where you've seen Aman before, please remember to tell me."
Lu Chen stared intently at Ning Wan.
After a moment, he smiled.
He replied, "Okay."
...
Aman's gaze would sometimes fall on Lu Chen, and sometimes on Ning Wan's face.
Seeing the persistent frown on Ning Wan's face, Aman felt a growing unease.
Long before meeting Lu Chen, Aman had heard this name many times.
[Lu Chen] can help Wanwan open a shop and also handle the problems between Wanwan and her parents.
Even if he ends up in the police station, he seems to be able to get out unscathed with ease.
And these are things he is far from being able to do.
More importantly, hearing this name always made him feel a strong sense of danger.
This is almost an unconscious, instinctive reaction.
He wasn't sure if he had known Lu Chen before.
Are the two enemies or friends?
But one thing he understood very well at that moment was that he had to work even harder.
He already lacked the necessary advantages, but at least financially, he wanted to try his best.
Make money.
Make lots and lots of money.
...
...
Ning Yanshu, like a vibrant little sun, enthusiastically introduced the upcoming competition to everyone.
"The first event is the four-legged race. Do you know what a four-legged race is? It's pretty simple to explain. It's when four adults tie their feet together, making it five legs..."
"Wait a minute." Ning You reached out, looking like a good student humbly asking for advice: "We understand this game, but Xiao Shu, have you forgotten the most important point?"
She tugged at her belly and said, "My aunt is carrying another one."
Let's not even talk about whether she can get the part.
Even if she could, Lu Chen would still skin her alive.
Ning Yanshu remained calm and composed: "Auntie, don't worry, I have plans."
Ning Yanshu looked mysterious and confident...
...
The match time arrived quickly.
Due to the large number of participating parents, the school divided the students into groups of five based on their class level for the competition.
It wasn't until just before the match started that Ning Wan and the others learned that Ning Yanshu's so-called arrangement was actually to bring in substitute player Chen Limin...
...
"I won't do it!" Chen Limin protested. "Didn't we agree that we were just here to take a casual look and give a perfunctory cheer?"
Ning Yanshu, her face beaming, enthusiastically took her arm: "Oh, since you're already here~"
Chen Limin turned her face away, not wanting to look at him.
These days, even kids can fool people.
What else can we trust?
Ning Wan asked her with some curiosity, "By the way, how did you get tricked into coming here?"
Chen Limin looked at Ning Wan with clear eyes and answered truthfully, "He said that the kindergarten was holding a sports meet, and no family member had ever accompanied him to any of the activities. I felt soft-hearted when I heard that, so..."
Goodness.
He must have gathered a whole bunch of soft-hearted gods.
Indeed, excuses never need to be too many.
One is enough.
In the end, unable to resist Ning Yanshu's persistent pleading, Chen Limin gritted her teeth and went on stage.
Ning Wan and Chen Limin were short, so they stood on the inside.
Beside the two were Aman and Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's expression wasn't very good.
He felt extremely uncomfortable being in close contact with a strange woman.
Lu Chen rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing his fair arms.
To prevent accidental injuries during the competition, Lu Chen took off his watch beforehand and handed it to Ning You for safekeeping.
Speaking of Ningyou...
...
Lu Chen ground down his molars.
He shouldn't have believed Ning You's claim that he was just "coming to take a casual look".
Ning You sat in the audience, watching with great interest Lu Chen's sullen face as he couldn't lose his temper, feeling a surge of satisfaction.
She always loved seeing Lu Chen's expression crack.
What's the point of someone who's always wearing a blank expression when they're clearly experiencing both joy and sorrow?
Ning Yanshu also sat down next to Ning You.
He took out the things he had prepared in advance from his small schoolbag.
"Auntie, you hold the left, I'll hold the right. We're going to have to hold it really, really high in a bit!"
Ning You winked at him: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
...
What's done is done; getting angry won't change anything.
Chen Limin was forced to adapt to the feeling of being tied to others.
Lu Chen, used to giving orders at the company, subconsciously directed, "Before the competition, check again to make sure the straps are tight. Put the untied feet behind you. When the whistle blows, we'll step forward with our back feet at the same time. Be careful with your speed; don't be too hasty or fast, aim for stability."
