The noise around him, the laughter of children, and the sound of machines running all disappeared in Liu Weicheng's ears.
Only the voice of Li Shiyi speaking next to her could be heard.
It’s not that Liu Weicheng doesn’t understand anything.
Of course he knew the true meaning of Li Shiyi's words, but he had been deliberately avoiding him due to his identity.
Li Shiyi is twenty-six, divorced, and has a four-year-old daughter.
Liu Weicheng is twenty-one, and he has never been in love once in this world.
On the one hand, because he is still young, Liu Weicheng does not want to be involved in a romantic relationship so early. For him, developing a good career is more attractive than falling in love.
On the other hand, the woman he currently likes the most is Zhao Xuanying, followed by Lin Nianwei, who is entangled with him.
As for Li Shiyi... he didn't think anything could happen between him and her from the beginning.
The moment he first came into this world, the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was a small figure sitting on the bed. Yunyun put a band-aid on his injured forehead, which moved Liu Weicheng very much at that time.
The reason why she helped Li Shiyi over and over again, to a certain extent, was because she was Yunyun's biological mother.
In order to make Yunyun's life better, he would help many times.
However, Li Shiyi obviously had a wrong idea.
Liu Weicheng asked himself that since he met Li Shiyi, he had not done anything out of the ordinary. Not only did he not take advantage of the other party when he was most vulnerable, but he always maintained a very comfortable distance from each other.
And the other party's attitude towards him has gradually declined from the way he treated him like a younger brother, a little more familiar than a stranger, to what he is now.
Looking at Li Shiyi's eyes, Liu Weicheng didn't have any intention of laughing.
She looked to her side with a calm expression, looking at Li Shiyi's gaze...
"I also like this child Yunyun very much."
Listening to Liu Weicheng's words, his nervous mood suddenly relaxed at this moment.
However, the next second, he hit the bottom again.
"I can care for her as much as possible as she grows up, but I can't fill it with only the love of a father."
Her eyes widened uncontrollably. Li Shiyi seemed to have expected Liu Weicheng's answer.
But after actually hearing it, it is inevitable that I will feel disappointed.
The palm of his hand was slowly raised and placed on the railing.
Hold on tightly.
"Sometimes it's not a bad thing to keep a little distance. Instead of thinking about what you have and what you don't have, it's better to cherish the present moment. Isn't your biggest wish now just to watch that child grow up healthily?"
"..."
Li Shiyi lowered her gaze and looked up, following Liu Weicheng's gaze.
Children on the carousel are smiling.
Just a simple amusement ride made her so happy that she couldn't help herself.
Li Shiyi rarely sees her daughter so happy. Only when she is with Liu Weicheng, will the child speak from the heart and show the innocence that should be expected at this age.
Think about it carefully.
Now that Liu Weicheng has a successful career, more and more women will surround him.
She was alone with a child, how dare she expect such a thing to happen...
Perhaps...such an idea should not have existed in the first place.
The carousel gradually slowed down.
As the staff opened the exit, a small figure ran out and rushed towards Liu Weicheng's position.
Holding the other person's thigh, he described the feeling just now in an excited tone.
Liu Weicheng squatted down, raised his hand and stroked the child's head, listening to the other person's voice that was stumbling due to excitement.
Such a scene caught Li Shiyi's eyes.
I was waiting for this day, looking forward to the stars and the moon, so I dressed myself up well and summoned up the courage to make a clear statement, but what I got was a reply of rejection.
Although such an answer had been expected, Li Shiyi would still feel uncomfortable after it actually happened.
That is the unavoidable feeling of loss.
"Let me see...what are the projects you can play."
Holding Yunyun in his arms, Liu Weicheng looked at the ticket in his hand. Every time he played an item, the ticket face would be marked by the staff. Due to Yunyun's age, many more exciting items had to be excluded in advance.
After roughly planning a route, Liu Weicheng held Yunyun up with one hand and bumped her up to prevent her from slipping.
Then he looked at Li Shiyi, who had fallen into silence from the beginning.
He spoke.
"You should also play a few projects, otherwise the tickets you bought will be a waste."
"makes sense."
Sniffing, Li Shiyi didn't want to show that disappointed expression in front of her daughter.
As if there was something dirty in his eyes, he raised his hand and gently touched it a few times.
After putting down his hands, a comfortable smile appeared on his face.
Looking at Liu Weicheng who was walking in front with his daughter in his arms, Li Shiyi also adjusted her emotions and followed her.
In her opinion, Liu Weicheng is a very responsible person.
If he were the type who would not refuse any woman, he might have been eaten up by her long ago.
But ever since I met Liu Weicheng...he has never taken advantage of me.
Perhaps it was this attitude that made her unknowingly fall in love with this man who was five years younger than her.
She fell in love with... this man whom she regarded as a younger brother at first.
————————————
Dusk is approaching.
The sun was about to set, giving the sky a red color.
After leaving the exit of the amusement park, even after playing for a whole afternoon, Yunyun was still full of energy, as if there was endless energy in her small body.
Today, Saturday, is the most fulfilling day since Yunyun can remember.
When she was in kindergarten, she often heard other children talking about their experiences of going out to play, but she never had anything to talk about.
However, today's experience gave her something to share.
Yunyun can't wait for the day when kindergarten starts.
She definitely wanted to show off everything that happened today to her good friends.
Looking at Yunyun running in front, Liu Weicheng slightly accelerated his pace and followed him to prevent the child from leaving his sight.
On the other hand, Li Shiyi is a step or two behind.
They maintained this posture until they reached the parking lot. After getting in the car, the two people who were speechless all the way spoke for the first time.
Li Shiyi spoke first.
"Thank you. I have never seen Yunyun so happy."
"So happy! Yunyun likes Uncle Niu!"
As soon as her mother finished speaking, Yunyun, who was sitting in the back seat, stood up holding the passenger seat and said.
"Yunyun wants to be with Uncle Niu forever!"
Hearing this, Liu Weicheng smiled, nodded hurriedly and agreed to the child, started the car and prepared to take mother and daughter home.
Along the way, Yunyun's little mouth kept pouting.
The two adults in the car did not choose to interrupt, and listened quietly to the child's description, occasionally asking questions.
This cheerful atmosphere lasted until arriving at the door of Li Shiyi's house.
The car had just stopped, and he was about to ask Li Shiyi to put the child down in the car...
Through the car window, I saw the figure standing at the entrance of the corridor.
