Rong Yan patted Fu Jingsheng on the shoulder. She knew perfectly well what her husband's intentions were in taking the children hiking.
"Look at you, so pathetic." She looked at Fu Jingsheng with feigned disdain. "Old classmate, say a few more words."
“Xu Yajie definitely likes you,” Fu Jingsheng said with certainty.
Rong Yan laughed directly: "How could that be? Fu Jingsheng, do you own a vinegar factory? Only you would treat me like a treasure; others might not even look at me."
Xu Yajie clearly didn't say anything, only talked about the school and alumni association. Where did Fu Jingsheng get his conclusion from?
“Men have a sixth sense too. The way he looks at you is clearly different. Also, I have to correct you, it’s not just me who cherishes you.” Fu Jingsheng leaned close to Rong Yan’s ear, “Want me to tell you a few things?”
"No." Rong Yan covered Fu Jingsheng's mouth. "Don't talk nonsense. He has a wife. She's just on a business trip abroad."
"You've told me all this?"
"It was just a brief mention, don't overthink it. Pack your bag and get ready to go," Rong Yan said, pushing Fu Jingsheng's back.
Xu Yajie and his son were discussing whether to go somewhere else to play in the afternoon when they heard shouts coming from outside the door.
"Little Yu, little brother."
"Is Little Yu here?"
...
"Dad, Xiaoyun and the others are here!" Xiaoyu jumped up from the sofa, not even bothering to put on her shoes, and ran outside.
Xu Yajie followed.
Fu Yunlei said breathlessly, "Hello Uncle Xu, are you going to the forest park this afternoon? Dad said there are kung fu pandas there, and I'd like to invite Xiaoyu to come along."
"Kung Fu Panda?" Xu Yajie raised an eyebrow in confusion. He had done his research and knew that the best thing to do in the forest park was rafting, a two-kilometer waterway where you could float down the mountain. As for pandas, they might be doing some kind of kung fu.
"Is it okay, Uncle?" Fu Yunlei asked again.
Xu Yajie snapped out of his daze and said, "Xiaoyu can go if she wants to."
"Dad, I want to go! I want to see the Kung Fu Panda!" Xiaoyu clapped her hands happily.
The two families rode in one van.
On the way, the five children discussed the Kung Fu Panda.
Rong Yan wanted to tell them that there were no pandas like that in the park, but seeing the expectant looks on their faces, she couldn't bear to interrupt them.
She typed a message and sent it to Fu Jingsheng: "Wait and see how you explain this."
Xu Yajie sat in the last row, wiping his sweat in embarrassment.
Rong Shimo said, "I think Kung Fu Panda practices Chinese Kung Fu."
Fu Yunting agreed: "Yes, it's Chinese Kung Fu in the movies."
"Brother, the giant pandas in the capital can do the splits, so are they also called Kung Fu Pandas?" Xiaoyu asked.
"Sure," Fu Yunting replied, standing up and leaning on Fu Jingsheng's shoulder in the row in front of him. "Dad, what will Kung Fu Panda be like in the movie we're watching later?"
Fu Jingsheng: ...
Indeed, one lie leads to countless others to cover it up.
He couldn't possibly invent another set of Chinese kung fu, so he said, "I've never seen it either, I've only heard about it. I'll know when I get there."
“Okay, Xiaoyu, what do you think?” Fu Yunlei continued to ask his sister.
"The Kung Fu Panda in the movie can fly," Rong Shiyu said.
Fu Jingsheng pinched his lips. Why was he lying? These people were saying things that were getting more and more outrageous. As far as he knew, the giant pandas in the forest park were quite lazy, and sometimes they didn't even come out. Whether you could see them or not depended on luck.
He conjured up a kung fu panda to show his sons.
Either tell the truth or not.
Just as Fu Jingsheng was about to speak, Xu Yajie spoke first.
"It's so hot outside, and they're still making the pandas practice kung fu. They're so pitiful. Besides, they've been working for a long time and are probably very tired. They might be resting right now. Xiaoyu, don't be disappointed if you don't see the pandas practicing kung fu later." Xu Yajie heard from Fu Yunlei that he wasn't originally planning to climb the mountain, but his father said there were kung fu pandas on the mountain, so he came.
He guessed that Fu Jingsheng told a white lie to get the children to believe him. Xu Yajie knew the actual situation of the panda and had been listening to the children's excited discussions all the way. He was worried that they would be too disappointed when they saw it, so he gave them a heads-up.
This guy is clearly an expert at spending a lot of time with his kids. Fu Jingsheng felt inferior and chimed in, "Yes, everyone should be prepared in case he becomes lazy or uncooperative."
Fu Yunlei was already a little unhappy when he heard this. He pouted and said, "No way. Since they are the landmark of the forest park, they can't possibly not work. There must be a lot of people going to see them."
"You even know the signboard?" Fu Jingsheng asked.
"Yeah, if the signboard isn't working, who's going to go there?"
Fu Jingsheng originally only wanted to keep his sons from swimming with Xiaoyu. Knowing that they would end up together, why would he lie and go hiking?
Unable to find a reason, he could only give up: "Don't be afraid of disappointment, go back now."
"Let's not go back, let's try our luck." Fu Yunlei disagreed again.
“It’s okay if you can’t see Kung Fu Panda. The rafting in the forest park is a lot of fun. Watch the video.” Xu Yajie tried to distract the children.
The people in the video are sitting in kayaks, wearing raincoats, sliding down the mountain. They are laughing and shouting, and the water splashing up from the kayaks is flying everywhere, which looks quite exciting.
"I like it." This is what Rong Shiyu and her sister like the most.
“I like it too, Dad, I want to play this.” Rong Shiyu tugged at her father’s hand.
"Uncle, is the rafting always running?" Rong Shimo asked Xu Yajie for confirmation.
"Yes, it'll keep running. You can play as soon as you buy a ticket," Xu Yajie said confidently.
"Senior, do you often bring your child out to play?" Rong Yan asked casually.
“Well, I run my own business, so my time is relatively flexible. Whenever I have free time, I take Xiaoyu to broaden her horizons. I also like to do research in advance. Maybe I'm getting old? I don't like playing on my phone anymore. I just like drinking tea and seeing the world,” Xu Yajie said.
"This is called relaxation, a relaxed state of life, unlike us, whose nerves are always on edge. We usually decide where to go casually without making any preparations in advance, and we're quite casual." Rong Yan really admires people who plan their trips carefully.
"It's good that you guys are doing this, taking a trip whenever you want. I get a headache when I'm planning a trip, maybe it's obsessive-compulsive, I always feel like I'm wasting time if I don't plan ahead." Xu Yajie comes out to play, to some extent, to satisfy himself.
“Compared to you, I seem to be unqualified. I’m the exact opposite of you,” Fu Jingsheng interjected.
He might be overthinking it, but he felt that Xu Yajie was just bragging. Who wouldn't like someone who plans their trip in advance? What's with all this talk about being old?
"Stop being modest, everyone has their own advantages. We're almost there, right? Everyone check your belongings and get ready to get off the bus," Rong Yan interrupted.
"I see the sign for the forest park!" Xiaoyu exclaimed happily as she looked out the window.
The group completely forgot about swimming and ran straight to the ticket office as soon as they got off the bus, specifically asking the staff if the Kung Fu Panda Camp was closed today.
The staff didn't react for a while.
