Tycoon Stepdad's Popularity (Part-1)

43 (ii)

Next, the father and son slid down several times, never tiring of it.

However, Huo Mianmian was still young and soon grew tired, so he rested to the side, waiting for Lin Yi.

Lin Yi continued sliding up and down several more times.

It turned out that amusement parks weren't just for kids; adults enjoyed them too.

When Lin Yi finally had his fill, he noticed Huo Mianmian playing with the balls nearby.

The balls were multicolored.

Huo Mianmian had sorted them by color, arranging each type in a row, forming several rows already.

Lin Yi walked over and asked with a smile: "Mianmian, what are you doing?"

Huo Mianmian looked up at Lin Yi and said: "I'm making a rainbow."

Lin Yi looked down and laughed.

It did indeed resemble a rainbow.

He asked Huo Mianmian: "Why are you making a rainbow?"

Huo Mianmian replied happily: "To give it to Dad!"

Lin Yi didn't expect such an answer and immediately patted Huo Mianmian's head: "Thank you, sweetheart. I love it!"

Hearing this, Huo Mianmian became even more enthusiastic and continued preparing.

In the end, Huo Mianmian presented Lin Yi with a large rainbow.

Soon after, the father and son arrived at the claw machine area.

Inside the machines were many cute stuffed animals.

Lin Yi asked Huo Mianmian: "Which one do you like? Pick any!"

His tone was particularly bold, as if no matter which one Huo Mianmian chose, he could grab it.

Huo Mianmian looked at Lin Yi with his round eyes: "Any one?"

Lin Yi: "Yes! Any one, Dad can get it for you!"

Huo Mianmian instantly became ecstatic and pointed at a rabbit: "This one!"

Lin Yi rolled up his sleeves, exchanged some tokens, and started grabbing the rabbit for Huo Mianmian.

He held the control stick calmly, operated the claw a few times, and pressed the button.

The rabbit was then lifted by the claw, moved to the designated spot, and dropped out.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and smiled, handing the rabbit to Huo Mianmian: "See, Dad keeps his promises!"

Huo Mianmian happily took the rabbit and jumped: "Dad is amazing!"

Lin Yi gave a confident smile.

Grabbing plush toys was such a minor task-it couldn't possibly stump him.

In his previous life, he had a cousin who always pestered him to help her grab plush toys.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After a few tries, he had completely mastered this skill.

Once, he grabbed over ten plush toys for his cousin, making everyone around them envious.

After playing for more than an hour, father and son left the amusement park.

Huo Mianmian clung tightly to the rabbit Lin Yi had won for him, looking incredibly precious.

At the exit of the amusement park, there was a place that served ice cream.

Lin Yi, of course, wouldn't miss it.

He led Huo Mianmian over.

The staff member asked enthusiastically, "What flavors would you like?"

The service on this cruise ship was top-notch.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "One original flavor and one matcha flavor."

Huo Mianmian pointed at the strawberry flavor.

The staff member smiled and said, "Please wait a moment."

Three minutes later, Lin Yi and Huo Mianmian walked towards their cabin with their respective ice creams.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Huo Jihan and Qin Ling as soon as they returned.

Lin Yi: "!!"

Oh no!!

He instinctively tried to hide the ice cream in his hand.

After all, he had two ice creams, and he felt Huo Jihan might say something about it.

Last time, he ate three popsicles in front of Huo Jihan and ended up with acute gastroenteritis.

Sure enough, Huo Jihan saw the ice cream in his hand and frowned slightly. "Two ice creams?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Oh no!

He laughed nervously and said, "I think two are still within my limits."

However, Huo Jihan didn't budge. "Only one."

Lin Yi: "!!"

Both flavors were his favorites; it was hard to give either up!!

Lin Yi had a sudden idea and decisively said, "But I've already brought them back. Wouldn't it be wasteful not to eat them? You and Qin Ling don't seem like the type who eat ice cream!"

He thought he was being clever, coming up with such a good excuse.

But then, Huo Jihan turned and called out, "Yunchuan."

A few seconds later, Ji Yunchuan, who had been texting someone, walked over from the other end of the corridor, eagerly approaching Huo Jihan. "Big Brother Huo, you called me?"

Huo Jihan asked, "Do you want some ice cream?"

Ji Yunchuan nodded vigorously. "Yes, please!"

At this point, Huo Jihan gestured with his chin. "There are some over there."

Ji Yunchuan looked in the direction Huo Jihan indicated and saw the ice cream in Lin Yi's hand. The next second, he was moved to tears. "Wah, Big Brother Huo, you're so nice! You actually had Sister-in-law give me ice cream?"

He vaguely felt something was off, since Huo Jihan wouldn't have Lin Yi share an ice cream with him.

But the shock and joy overwhelmed his doubts, and he was just excited.

Huo Jihan didn't say much, simply stating, "Go get it."

Ji Yunchuan approached Lin Yi and grinned. "Sister-in-law, can I have one?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Where did Ji Yunchuan come from?

But under the circumstances, he had no choice but to give one away.

Lin Yi reluctantly handed a plain-flavored ice cream to Ji Yunchuan.

Ji Yunchuan was overjoyed upon receiving the ice cream.

Soon, Lin Yi and Huo Jihan each returned to their rooms.

Ji Yunchuan walked over to Qin Ling, beaming with pride. "I never thought Big Brother Huo would have Sister-in-law give me an ice cream!"

Qin Ling: "..."

He looked at Ji Yunchuan with affection. "Do you know why?"

Ji Yunchuan looked bewildered. "Why?"

Qin Ling said softly, "Because your Big Brother Huo is afraid his wife might get an upset stomach, so he gave it to you."

Ji Yunchuan: "??"

Instantly, the ice cream in his mouth didn't taste sweet anymore!!!
