Qiu Zimu was in the kitchen helping his aunt prepare breakfast when he saw Ye Jingan hopping down. He squinted his eyes and stared at him for a while, noticing that the corners of his mouth hadn't dropped at all, and his smile was getting happier and happier.
"What a sweet dream, to make you happy." Qiu Zimu asked.
When it comes to dreams, the unbearable scene pops into my mind unconsciously. Yeah, a "sweet dream" that can wake people up in shock. Ye Jingan twitched his mouth: "What's it to you!"
Qiu Zimu laughed strangely. He already knew Ye Jing'an's character better than anyone else. He must have dreamed of something shameful, which was why his expression changed so quickly, and his face fell.
Auntie knew that they were leaving today, so she went to the market to buy vegetables at five in the morning, made a very hearty breakfast, and even stewed her own smoked pork trotters in a hot pot.
Ye Jingan usually likes to eat noodles or steamed buns for breakfast and doesn't like to eat rice early in the morning, but his aunt is a good cook and the food she makes is very appetizing.
This breakfast lasted for quite a long time. Aunt Li was a talkative person and told many interesting stories. Ye Jingan was also very excited because Brother Liu agreed to go with him, so he never felt bored and the atmosphere was very good.
"You are all good kids. Come back and play when you have time. Auntie can cook many kinds of dishes." When Aunt Li sees them, she always thinks of her son. If nothing happens, she might still be friends with them.
"Okay, thank you, Auntie." The three of them packed up and prepared to leave.
Seeing that Liu Muzhe had walked into the city but had not separated from them, Qiu Zimu guessed why Ye Jing'an was so happy. He must have been begging Brother Liu to go with him, and Brother Liu agreed.
"Where are we going?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"I want to go to Yanghe City near your home to eat. I have been locked up for two years and haven't gone out to play." Qiu Zimu said.
"No way, you stay there in the mountains every day?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"Almost. I go to the street to buy vegetables occasionally. The economy here is relatively backward, and there is nothing delicious or fun to eat on the street." Qiu Zimu said.
"You're in such a bad situation. Come on, let me treat you to something to eat," said Ye Jing'an.
"Oh wow, you said it! Then I'll enjoy it!" Qiu Zimu was afraid that Liu Muzhe might have other ideas, so he asked for his opinion again.
Liu Muze said calmly: "I can do anything."
"That's settled then." Qiu Zimu and Ye Jing'an exchanged glances, thinking that Brother Liu was quite easy to talk to. Arriving in Yanghe City, the two of them got out of the car and started eating all sorts of food.
I haven't even finished the roasted sweet potato skin yet, so I bought another portion of takoyaki and took turns eating it. I also had a cup of milk tea hanging on my wrist, so I could drink it easily.
Liu Muze saw the way the two ate, and they looked like starving ghosts who had never eaten before, especially Ye Jingan. Speaking of which, the Ye family had always treated him well, so why did he act like he had never seen anything like it?
"Brother Liu, would you like some milk tea?" Ye Jing'an was pointing to the milk tea shop on the roadside.
Liu Muze glanced at the milk tea shop and shook his head. He still preferred drinking alcohol. Milk tea was too sweet and greasy.
"Then let's drink together." Ye Jing'an threw the empty cup hanging in his hand and wanted to buy another one.
Liu Muze: "..."
Looking at the fancy milk tea names, they all seemed quite artistic. Ye Jing'an chose a new one called Osmanthus Yin. After taking a sip, the scent felt familiar. Ye Jing'an wondered where he'd smelled it before, and then he glanced at Liu Muze, and he understood. It turned out that Liu Muze had a faint scent of osmanthus, but it also had other woody notes that matched the milky scent better.
Ye Jingan went to buy another cup and handed it to Liu Muzhe.
"I don't want to drink now." Liu Muzhe didn't reach out to take it.
"Try it!" Ye Jing inserted the tube and stuffed it into his mouth.
Liu Muze thought to himself that this kid was still like that when he was little, always shoving things into other people's mouths. However, this milk tea wasn't as sweet as he'd expected. Instead, it was quite refreshing and not astringent, making it easier to drink than his favorite scented tea. Liu Muze raised an eyebrow and glanced at the milk tea label.
"Is it delicious?" Ye Jingan was delighted. "I knew you liked it."
"It tastes good. Why?" Liu Muzhe took two more sips. He really liked the sweet-scented osmanthus flavor in the tea.
"Because of the osmanthus, I smelled a very faint osmanthus scent on your clothes. I guessed." Ye Jingan said with a smile, "Did you spray some osmanthus-scented perfume?"
"Huh? I don't use perfume." Liu Muzhe sniffed his clothes, "There's no smell."
Ye Jingan leaned over and sniffed again, and said with certainty that there was, but it was very faint. Qiu Zimu also leaned over and sniffed it, then stood up and looked at Ye Jingan: "Oh~ So you have a dog nose."
"You're looking for a beating again!" Ye Jing'an punched him.
Liu Muzhe thought that maybe the osmanthus wine had gotten on his clothes and he had to wash them.
On the way back, Ye Jingan bought a lot of food and would stuff a few bites into his mouth. Liu Muze thought it was interesting because when they went to the market before, Ye Chenyi also liked to buy all kinds of snacks and stuff them into his mouth.
"Let's go to the amusement park and play there?" Qiu Zimu pulled Ye Jing'an's sleeve.
"Let's go!" The two hit it off and turned to smile at Liu Muzhe.
Liu Muze's eyelids twitched wildly. What happened at the amusement park was too much to bear. Now Ye Jingan and Qiu Zimu were both grown up. If they tried to force him to ride a roller coaster or something, he might not be able to resist. Liu Muze said with a stern face and a flat tone, "I'm not going. I'll wait for you outside."
Ye Jing'an gave him a knowing look, Qiu Zimu made an OK gesture, and ran away carrying Liu Muzhe like a human trafficker.
"Hey, the milk tea is spilled!" He quickly wiped the milk tea off his hands, afraid of staining his white clothes, "Let go, let go, I'll go!"
Liu Muze followed Ye Jing'an with mixed feelings. After all these years, he and Ye Jing'an were here again...
The amusement park was packed with people, and there were queues for almost every ride. However, most of the people playing here were parents with children, or couples hanging out together. I didn't see any groups of older men coming in to play.
Liu Muze narrowed his eyes at the two children in front of him. To him, they were indeed parents bringing their children to play. However, the two children were extremely tall, standing out from the crowd by a head, and several waves of people were already staring at them. He looked young, but was actually an elder of the ancestor level. It was indeed a bit strange for him to bring two older children here to play.
The roller coaster roared past in mid-air, and screams filled the air. Ye Jingan and Qiu Zimu exclaimed, "It's so thrilling and fun!" and clamored to try it.
Liu Muze felt nothing, only that the amusement park was too noisy and the garish rides were a bit dazzling. He couldn't understand why these two children were interested in such boring things. Qiu Zimu was not yet an adult, so he could understand it a little. Ye Jingan was an adult, but he was more playful than a child.
"Brother Liu, do you want to go play together?"
No matter how much they begged, Liu Muze refused to go. He sat alone in a place where there were few people but they could still be seen, guarding the things while they played.
"If you were still here, you would definitely give it a try." Liu Muzhe stared at the two of them in a daze. After a long moment, he smiled faintly and said, "If you came back, I'd really be happy to be dragged along to play..."
Ye Jingan and Qiu Zimu chose the most exciting rides, including roller coasters and bungee jumping. Tired, they ran over to drink some water and saw Liu Muze resting with his eyes closed. Ye Jingan said with a smile, "You want to sleep after coming to the amusement park?"
"Brother Liu, let's go ride the roller coaster. It's so fun!" Qiu Zimu didn't have enough fun.
Liu Muzhe shook his head, unwilling to go.
"Are you scared? How about a carousel?" Ye Jing'an asked while sitting on the chair.
Liu Muzhe frowned. He was misunderstood by others because he didn't accompany him to ride the Trojan Horse. He was scolded so much that he couldn't explain himself.
Liu Muze saw Ye Jingan getting angry. How could a grown man like him want to ride a carousel? Those were things for children, how could he have the nerve to do that? Liu Muze looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Go and try it."
"Let's go together!" Ye Jing'an pulled his arm.
"You go first." Liu Muzhe waved his hand.
Ye Jing'an looked at Qiu Zimu.
"I don't want to go. There are only children there," said Qiu Zimu.
"That's boring, I'll go by myself!" Ye Jing'an ran over with a smile. A 1.8-meter-tall guy sat on a wooden horse, looking particularly out of place among a group of girls and children. Ye Jing'an didn't think so. He laughed more happily than the children and waved to Liu Muze and Qiu Zimu.
Liu Muze held his forehead with his hand and closed his eyes to avoid looking at him. He muttered to himself: This kid really went! I don’t know him, there’s no need to be embarrassed for him.
Ye Jing'an was indeed capable of anything. Qiu Zimu sat next to him and laughed at his joke, and even took pictures of his silly look and posted them on WeChat Moments.
"I've tried it, you guys should try it too." Ye Jing'an also knew that it was not appropriate for grown men to ride on the carousel, so he ran over and wanted them to try it too and embarrass themselves.
"No!" The two of them said in unison and refused sternly.
"Then let's go to the haunted house. This is the only exciting thing we haven't experienced yet." Ye Jing'an took a sip of water and stared at Liu Muze. Thinking that the haunted house lasted a long time, he must take him there, otherwise it would be boring to sit here for more than an hour.
Qiu Zimu had always been interested in haunted houses. He wasn't exactly timid, but he was easily frightened by things that suddenly appeared, so he wanted to test his courage by going to one. His father hadn't wanted to accompany him the last time he went, and since he couldn't find anyone to go with him, he didn't make it, which was a little disappointing.
"Brother Liu, let's go and take a look together." Qiu Zimu pleaded.
"Haunted house?" Liu Muzhe had been to many haunted houses, and he didn't know if what they were talking about was the haunted house in his understanding.
Qiu Zimu told him that there were many scary props in the haunted house, and there were staff members dressing up as ghosts to scare people, which was very interesting.
Is this... interesting?
"Let's go together." Ye Jing'an pulled his arm.
No matter how he pulled Liu Muze, he just sat in his chair unwilling to move, saying expressionlessly, "It's boring. I'm not going."
"Are you scared and don't dare to go?" Ye Jing'an deliberately provoked him.
"I've seen the real ones, why go to see the fake ones?" Liu Muzhe said in a dull tone.
"Ah?" The two were stunned. "Have you really seen them all?"
"We're all in a materialistic society now, so why would I show you the real thing?" Ye Jing'an said this, and then he thought of his ancestor and the monster he had encountered. Now it seemed hard to say whether there was a ghost or not.
