Chapter 120
The Marina Bay Aquarium has the largest underwater tunnel in the country, with a total length of over 150 meters.
Because there were so many people, Lin Fan could only hold the girl in his arms and move slowly forward with the crowd.
Looking at the fish schools changing in all directions, little An An was overwhelmed and shouted excitedly: "High, high."
She stretched out her hands, wishing they could be lifted higher so that she could touch these unknown objects swimming around.
"Fish, this is a fish, An An." Lin Fan lifted his daughter up high and taught her, but he didn't recognize the fish that swam by.
"Sister Lin Lu, you guys are wearing white coats today, it looks really good in the photos."
Ah Yan looked at Lin Lu and spoke. They were standing on the right side of the underwater tunnel. The natural seabed was the most natural background. What better decoration could be than the schools of fish swimming behind them?
Lin Lu was stunned for a moment when she heard Ah Yan's words. She glanced at her daughter who had been holding her arm without saying a word, and asked, "Is it okay? Do you want to take a photo?"
Lin Anran was also stunned at this moment. She seemed to have just come to her senses and looked at her mother.
"sure."
She didn't know when she would leave, but she was able to keep a photo of herself with her mother, even for just a moment.
A Yan helped take a few photos and then she called Lin Fan.
"Brother Fan, slow down and don't walk out anytime soon. Let me take a picture of your family as a souvenir."
Taking advantage of the good camera position, Ayan and Juejue took out their mobile phones and took photos. Behind the family of four was a school of fish swirling in a whirlpool. The live photos were natural and lively.
Lin Fan was standing on the far left holding little An An. He held the baby in one hand and Lin Lu in the other. Lin Lu was holding Lin An Ran's hand.
A family of four, all together.
After Lin Lu took a few photos of the young couple, she frowned as she looked at the photos and pulled up her eldest daughter: "Ningning."
"Go take some more pictures of your brother and sister, Mom... I'm not very good at taking pictures."
Lin Anran was forced to hurry up and took pictures of his "godfather and godmother" with his mobile phone, feeling a little embarrassed.
The walking speed of this more than 100-meter-long underwater tunnel depends entirely on the tourists in front. During this period, A Yan and Lin Anran added each other on WeChat and received the photos she sent them.
To be honest, Ah Yan doesn't know how to get along with her at this moment.
In terms of age, it may seem that the other person is actually only a few years younger.
But this is my friend’s daughter!
She had a conflicting mentality, as she suddenly became an elder and saw the daughter of her friend's family 20 years later. She was not mentally prepared yet!
"It's shot so well, it can be released directly as is." Ah Yan praised Lin Anran.
The girl's photos were indeed very beautiful, and what Ah Yan said was not wrong.
"No, it's not that good. Let me fix it for you. This original film will look better after color adjustment." Lin Anran was a little reserved.
Seeing that the little girl took the initiative to answer the call, Ah Yan breathed a sigh of relief. She was a normal young person.
At this moment, they walked out of the underwater tunnel, and the crowds around them surged towards different areas. Little An An started to cry out and insisted on being held by his mother.
"Just let mommy hold you for a while, okay, An An."
"Mom has worked very hard. Dad is very strong. It will be Dad who will hold the baby in the arms later." Lin Fan coaxed his daughter while walking to his wife's side.
The person holding the baby changed from Lin Fan to Lin Lu. Ah Yan watched Lin Anran immediately go over to help, as if he was ready to take over from Lin Lu at any moment. It seemed that the nanny was useless in this family.
The group then casually entered an exhibition hall, which was the jellyfish area. Different species of jellyfish were swimming in the display cabinets in this exhibition area, and lights of various colors were flashing, making it seem as if they were in the deep sea world.
Ah Yan looked at Lin Fan and his brother, who were hugging each other soundly. They were standing in front of a small jellyfish tank in a remote area, talking about something.
"Brother Fan, do you have anything to say to me?" Zhu Jue asked tactfully.
Lin Fan nodded, "Yeah, yeah."
"Don't you think it's weird that the two of us are standing in front of a box without jellyfish with our shoulders hunched?" Zhu Jue saw him grunting and pointed at the jellyfish box with a pink and purple background in front of him.
It's not Brother Fan's style to not say something directly.
"I was thinking..." He turned around and glanced at where his wife and daughter were.
They were marveling in front of a large jellyfish tank surrounded by a large crowd.
"Please, Ah Yan, take care of me when you have time... talk to Lin An Ning and play with her."
"She's a little girl and she doesn't have any friends, right? You two are about the same age so you can talk to each other and it will be more fun to play together."
He spoke with a grunt, not knowing where to put his hands.
Zhu Jue looked at him and said, "Are you asking the two of us to help you lure the tiger away from the mountain because you think your sister-in-law is a nuisance?"
Lin Fan subconsciously raised his voice and retorted: "What do you mean by luring the tiger away from the mountain? That was me..."
"Our family."
"That's not me. You all know the nature of the job. Your sister-in-law has to go to the company. The child can't stay at home all day. There's nothing to do at the company. If she stays at home, she'll easily get crazy and sick. So I have to find someone to take care of her, right?! It's hard to understand a little girl's mind, especially a teenage girl."
Lin Fan lowered his voice and spoke.
"Brother, I beg you two, please talk to your husband and ask him to help."
"I got it, bro." Zhu Jue patted his shoulder.
In the jellyfish exhibition hall, Lin Lu and the nanny took turns holding the child for a while, and then little An An was picked up by Lin Fan again.
"The master really can't let go of An An for a moment. He wants to stick with her every weekend." Ah Yan listened to the nanny praising Lin Fan, while Lin Anran, who was standing on the other side, obviously snorted.
"Isn't this what a father should do? Others accompany their children every day."
"I'll try to accompany you every day, An An, okay?" Lin Fan touched the little girl's slightly sweaty forehead.
"Sir, do you want to go to school?"
Lin Anran was looking at that man in surprise when the nanny asked the question first.
Lin Fan moved the girl from the left to the right and looked at his wife and daughter beside him.
"Well, I've submitted my application this week. My counselor knows my situation, and my wife, as a parent, has signed it. From now on, I can go home every day." Lin Fan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ayan and Zhu Jue were stunned.
What the hell, is Brother Fan going to leave school? He is doing something big without making any noise.
Noticing the look in the young couple's eyes, Lin Fan immediately added.
"The dormitory is not revocable. If you don't have many classes, you can go home. If you are in a tight schedule for exams or have a lunch break, you can go back to the dormitory."
Lin Anran looked annoyed at the moment, and she muttered, "What a waste of resources."
Lin Fan smiled and kissed little An An. "My daughter changes every day. It's not good for her to not see her father every day. Our parents can't be full-time. They can only take over after school and work to ensure that she doesn't miss any step of her growth."
"Brother Fan, your house...it takes 40 minutes to drive to it, right?" Zhu Jue recalled Lin Fan's home address.
"It's easy to get stuck in traffic when driving, but the subway only takes an hour. I'll just go during rush hour from now on." Lin Fan said.
"I'll have to ask you two to keep an eye on the school." He looked at A Yan and Zhu Jue and spoke.
Lin Fan believed that his little lover would definitely understand what he meant.
The two spies captured this time acted earlier than him, especially when they arrested the car crash, they secretly confirmed the identities of the young couple, and Lin Fan felt at ease.
Lin Fan had never thought about withdrawing from the campus, but the recent unexpected events at home had left him exhausted and he didn't know what to do.
At first, he thought it was just an unfamiliar cousin of his wife who came over, and having one more person and one more mouth to feed in the house was not a big deal.
Until gradually, Lin Fan realized something was wrong.
The "sister-in-law"'s resistance to him, the look in her eyes filled with disappointment and boredom, and the tone of voice she used when speaking to him formed a sharp contrast with her attitude toward his wife.
The "sister-in-law" pesters his wife every day, takes care of the daughter tirelessly, and is covetous of the nanny's work. She is wary of him but also has a weird tone.
When Lin Fan returned home during the holidays, he learned from the nanny that his "sister-in-law" slept with his wife every night with her daughter.
Especially when the nanny joked to him, "I think An Ning is homesick after just a few days here. I wanted to go and see if An An was asleep that day, but I heard An Ning calling Lulu "Mom" after she fell asleep."
"I saw that Lulu didn't wake her up, but just patted her to sleep."
The nanny's words enlightened Lin Fan, and all the unreasonable things now had answers.
I am a rough man with no brains, and all the thinking things at home depend on my wife.
Suddenly, the "sister-in-law" with a changed personality appeared. Lin Fan himself was not sure whether his wife really had a cousin. After all, even in the previous life, they had no relatives. This was just what his wife said to him.
If this was my own daughter, a grown-up daughter.
It seems that everything can be explained.
The wife may have forgotten when she lied that when she first named her daughter, the couple was thinking about "peace" and "tranquility".
Choose between the two.
If my wife really has a cousin named An Ning, why would she give her daughter the same name as her elder cousin?
After realizing that his "sister-in-law" was actually his daughter, the more Lin Fan looked at his older daughter's face, the more he felt that she looked exactly like his wife, with her nose and ears bearing traces of his.
But he didn't know why his daughter treated him like this.
He had just returned from rebirth six years later, and at that time, he had just found someone to commission Zheng Yi to investigate.
All he knew was that his wife was gone and his seven-year-old daughter was nowhere to be found.
Now, at least he knew the good news.
In the timeline world where they were not reborn, their An Ran had grown up to this age.
No matter what kind of feelings she had for him, Lin Fan only knew that this was the daughter of him and his wife.
...
"You two didn't talk about this just now? What did you talk about?" Ah Yan asked Jue Jue in a low voice.
"I think Brother Fan also knows that he wants you to help call more people... to go out and have fun and relax." Zhu Jue's chin moved slightly and his eyes looked in the direction of Lin Anran.
Ayan and Juejue looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
I mean, you three as a family have a pretty good understanding of each other. Can't you just talk about anything on your own?
ah!
Maybe it was because there were so many people in the room and the air was stuffy and hot, little An An suddenly started crying.
If one child starts crying, it is easy for the children around him to start a chain reaction, affecting other tourists as well.
Lin Fan coaxed his daughter and quickly looked for an exit nearby.
However, the exhibition areas you visit often have special tour routes displayed underground, and you have to walk all the way.
In his mind, he recalled the maps of different locations in the aquarium's exhibition halls, as well as the escape routes and safety exits that he had seen.
Lin Fan weaved through the crowd. They left the colorful jellyfish exhibition area and came to the bright indoor space. Little An An finally stopped crying.
"Dear An'an, what's wrong? Don't cry, daddy is here." Lin Fan stood there and circled around to coax the child.
Here is a glass-surrounded platform, next to which are escalators leading to different exhibition areas.
Lin Lu was wiping the child's tears. Little An An was sobbing and had a runny nose. The whole family was surrounding the child.
The aquarium here is a bit old. They are standing on the second-floor platform now. The first, second and basement floors are all full of people. The third floor seems to be filled with exhibition boards and other introductions. There are not many tourists, so there are few people on the escalators going up and down.
“Aaaaaaaa——”
Suddenly there was a scream, and everyone looked up.
Lin Anran saw a beautiful woman with big curly hair, wearing a fur coat with a long skirt underneath and lace-up short boots, falling on the escalator.
Her fur coat, skirt, and shoelaces seemed to be caught in the knot of the escalator.
Lin Anran sneered in her heart at this moment, she knew it.
Just watch, her "good dad" will rush to save someone soon, and then this beautiful woman will fall in love with him at first sight, and try hard to become one of her alternative stepmothers.
It seems like a long time ago!
The two men rushed out like arrows from a bow.
As soon as Ah Yan called out "Jue Jue", Zhu Jue immediately pressed the emergency brake button of the elevator. Ah Yan rushed up at lightning speed. To help the girl take off the fur of her coat, she took out a multi-purpose tool pliers and folding nail clippers from her pocket to help cut the pulled skirt and shoelaces.
When the staff arrived, the beautiful woman who had just been in danger was safe and was holding A Yan's hand and saying thank you over and over again.
Lin Anran looked at the scene in complete stupor.
How could someone move faster than that person?
Her...fuckfather and mother, such a fast speed, such skillful means, very, very powerful!
At this moment, she looked at "that person", trying to find some regret on his face for not being able to save the person in time.
But he looked proud and honored as he sighed, "You are worthy of me!"
Looking at their reaction speed and their ability to handle emergencies, Ah Yan and Zhu Jue must be our people. Just now! They are indeed the best personnel!
Lin Fan held little An An and pointed at A Yan and Zhu Jue, "An An, did you see your godfather and godmother? They are amazing."
The beauty was handling the follow-up matter with the staff. Ah Yan and Zhu Jue returned to the group without even leaving any contact information. They were ready to disappear quietly.
Lin Anran couldn't help but ask, "Um, what did you take out just now?"
Ah Yan took out a portable tool from his pocket, "Is this it?"
Lin Anran's eyes froze. "Didn't the security check take this thing? Why did you bring it with you?"
No one would carry pliers and nail clippers that can be turned into scissors with them!
Ah Yan shook his head. "This is very small, the security check won't accept it. This is a daily necessity, I have to carry it with me."
"It can be used when there are threads on new clothes, when you forget to cut the tags on your clothes, when you can't open your snack bag, when your hair gets caught in a subway door, when your shoelaces get caught in an escalator, when you get in a car accident, etc."
After a long period of experience, she and Jue Jue have come up with a special collection of essential items in their carry-on bags when they go out. These are just ordinary ones.
Lin Anran watched her put the things back into a small bag. She glanced at the things inside but couldn't see clearly.
Seeing that "that person" nod in agreement, she said, "That's right, you should always bring extra things with you just in case."
Lin Anran looked behind him with some worry. Would that beautiful girl come to look for her godfather again?
"Um...will it cause trouble?"
Ah Yan looked at Lin Anran's expression and thought she was worried about getting in trouble with the aquarium.
"Don't worry, we helped the aquarium in this emergency. They won't have time to thank us yet. This is all monitored." Ah Yan said.
"We have a lot of experience in this kind of thing," Zhu Jue said.
Lin Anran looked at her "godfather and godmother". What's wrong with you guys acting like experienced workers?
How can a normal person encounter so many accidents? Is it because of them that everything in this world is different from the past?
