Chapter 43

The next morning.

Lin Yi took Huo Mianmian to the restaurant for a hearty breakfast.

After they finished eating, the father and son strolled leisurely around the cruise ship to digest their meal.

The weather was beautiful today, with warm sunshine and a gentle sea breeze blowing. Seabirds soared over the ocean.

Lin Yi was admiring the scenery.

Suddenly, Huo Mianmian reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve.

Lin Yi looked down at Huo Mianmian, "Sweetheart, what is it?"

Huo Mianmian pointed to a spot on the water and said in a soft voice, "Dad, there's a sea turtle over there."

Lin Yi followed Huo Mianmian's gaze and saw a sea turtle swimming not far away, bobbing up and down with the waves.

At this moment, Huo Mianmian asked Lin Yi, "Dad, does the sea turtle get tired carrying its shell?"

Lin Yi genuinely didn't know the answer, so he smiled and said to Huo Mianmian, "I don't know. Why don't you ask it if it's tired?"

Huo Mianmian then leaned over the railing of the corridor and asked the sea turtle, "Sea turtle, do you get tired carrying your shell?"

Huo Mianmian asked with a serious expression, full of childlike curiosity.

Unfortunately, the sea turtle did not respond and continued swimming forward.

Huo Mianmian felt a little disappointed and complained to Lin Yi, "Dad, the sea turtle isn't answering me."

Lin Yi chuckled, "Maybe it's busy and doesn't have time to answer."

Huo Mianmian perked up again and continued watching the sea turtle through the railing.

A moment later, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he lifted his small head and said to Lin Yi, "I know! The sea turtle must be tired carrying its shell."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, "How do you know that?"

Huo Mianmian had a serious look on his face, "Because the sea turtle swims so slowly; it must be because its shell is too heavy."

Lin Yi laughed, "Haha! I think you make a good point!"

Huo Mianmian smiled, dimples appearing on his cheeks, sweet and soft.

Soon after, the father and son discovered an indoor amusement park.

Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he said to Huo Mianmian, "Son, do you want to go play in the amusement park? There are lots of fun things inside."

On one hand, he wanted to give Huo Mianmian more experiences since it was clear that Huo Mianmian had never tried these before.

On the other hand, he himself wanted to play too.

Hearing this, Huo Mianmian nodded his little head.

Soon, the father and son entered the amusement park.

The amusement park was large and had many facilities.

There were already quite a few people playing inside, mostly parents with their children.

First, they spotted bumper cars.

Lin Yi asked Huo Mianmian, "Shall we start with bumper cars?"

Huo Mianmian obediently nodded, "Okay."

Lin Yi: "Then pick one yourself."

Huo Mianmian chose a blue bumper car.

Lin Yi lifted him into the car.

Just then, Lin Yi suddenly thought of something and said to Huo Mianmian, "Son, wait a moment."

Lin Yi went to get a white sticker from the staff and wrote a line on it-

"Newbie driver, please be kind!"

He then stuck the sticker on Huo Mianmian's back.

The other players couldn't help but chuckle when they saw the words on Huo Mianmian's back.

After finishing this, Lin Yi snapped his fingers, "Done!"

Huo Mianmian didn't know what Lin Yi was doing, but he found it amusing, his eyes sparkling.

Soon, Lin Yi also picked a bumper car.

He drove the car and said to Huo Mianmian, "Son, are you ready? We're about to start!"

Huo Mianmian nodded seriously, "Ready!"

Lin Yi smiled and then led Huo Mianmian to wreak havoc.

Lin Yi always excelled at these games and never lost.

Soon, all the other bumper cars were bumped away by the father and son.

However, Huo Mianmian was still a novice and not very skilled.

His car would occasionally be jolted, causing him to sway inside, like a round rice ball in a bowl that bounces after hitting the bottom.

At first, he was a bit confused, but soon he grew fond of the sensation and laughed continuously.

Lin Yi looked at Huo Mianmian's smile and felt gratified.

It seemed his little one was becoming more outgoing!

After playing bumper cars for a while, the father and son went to play on the slide.

At the bottom of the slide were colorful balls, and sliding down meant plunging into them.

Lin Yi gave Huo Mianmian a demonstration: "Watch this, little one! Slide down just like this!"

With that, he slid down and plunged into the ball pit.

As he slid, Lin Yi cheered, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Watching this scene, Huo Mianmian found it incredibly interesting and sat down on the slide, sliding down with his small body.

In the next moment, he quickly slid downward.

He slightly widened his eyes, experiencing a novel thrill.

A few seconds later, Huo Mianmian plunged into the ball pit, surrounded by the colorful balls.

Lin Yi saw where Huo Mianmian landed and prepared to lift him up.

But then, Huo Mianmian emerged from the balls on his own, pushing them aside.

The sight was adorable, like a cute kitten poking its head out.

After popping his head out, Huo Mianmian smiled sweetly at Lin Yi: "Dad, I'm here!"

Lin Yi chuckled and walked over to pinch his cheek: "How was it? Was it fun?"

Huo Mianmian nodded vigorously: "Fun~"

Lin Yi: "Then let's do it a few more times!"

"Okay!"
