Arriving at the filming location, as soon as they got off the car, seven or eight men in black suddenly appeared. They looked menacing, blindfolded Ning Shixue and the others, and took them away, leaving only the little ones behind.
The little ones stood together, bewildered.
Jiang Yu, considering himself their leader, mustered his courage and stood at the front. His front tooth was missing, making his speech a bit lispy.
What you think you doing?!
[Sorry, but this is kinda funny.]
[So brave, baby.]
[Sniff, is no one paying attention? Wifey is so hot.]
Ning Shixue’s skin was extremely pale, even palely cold. With his eyes covered by the black cloth, only the pale tip of his nose, his jawline, and that reddened, moist lip were visible.
It was as if both coldness and desire were mixed together in him.
The cameraman, in order to capture each guest’s surprised expression, even gave everyone a close-up shot.
While you were playing at Yan City Amusement Park with your dads, a group of mysterious people in black suddenly appeared and took them away,
the director explained.
Now, babies, you must work together to find your dads and figure out the identities of the people in black!
Xie Yaoyao’s eyes were full of confusion. What was this uncle saying? Had the bad stepdad been caught?
This is a mission hint, very important,
the director said, handing them two cards.
Don’t lose them, okay?
The cards were of a carousel and a trampoline.
We split up,
Jiang Yu took on the role of leader. He thought for a moment, then pointed at Xie Yaoyao and Ji Xiao.
You two, come with me to the carousel to look for people.
Then he told He Miao and Tang Haohao,
You two go to the trampoline.
His arrangement actually made sense.
Xie Yaoyao and Ji Xiao were too little. Expecting them to search on their own would be too hard, so Jiang Yu would take them. He Miao and Tang Haohao were already five; they should be reliable enough.
Ning Shixue and the others were locked in a monitoring room. Not only could they see all the live stream rooms, but they could also see the security camera feeds.
Teachers,
the assistant director locked the door and said to them from outside.
Please wait here for the little ones to rescue you.
Ning Shixue completely lay down and relaxed.
This was the kind of task humans were meant to do.
Jiang Yu and the others had already reached the carousel, but they didn’t find anyone.
Xie Yaoyao spun around in place like a puppy chasing its tail. He stood on tiptoe and asked the young woman nearby, pitifully,
Jie jie, jie jie, you see my stepdad?
The young woman looked down and met Xie Yaoyao’s fair, tender cheeks. Instantly, she was struck right in the heart.
But she didn’t know anything about a stepdad. And this little baby actually had a stepdad?
And the stepdad had lost him in the amusement park?
Was this a case of human depravity or moral decay? Alarms went off in the young woman’s head. She took Xie Yaoyao’s soft, warm little hand and comforted him.
Don’t be scared, little didi. Jie jie will take you to find a police officer right now.
The director was completely flustered.
He quickly sent a staff member to explain. After much persuasion, they finally convinced her they were filming a variety show.
But the young woman had given Xie Yaoyao an idea.
Xie Yaoyao tilted his head, then suddenly pattered over to Ji Xiao. He leaned close to Ji Xiao’s ear and whispered conspiratorially,
Little Mantou, we can, call police.
The police uncle would definitely be able to find them.
He still didn’t want to acknowledge Jiang Yu as the leader, so he didn’t tell Jiang Yu.
But, we playing game,
Ji Xiao said timidly.
Teacher say, cannot just call police.
[Dying of laughter. Xiaoxiao doesn’t even argue anymore. Has he fully accepted being Little Mantou?]
[Tell auntie what color sack you like.]
Xie Yaoyao might be a brat with adults, but he was friendly with kids his own age. Since Ji Xiao didn’t want to, he wouldn’t call the police. He just propped his chubby face in his hands and sighed.
Why was it like this?
Jiang Yu hadn’t found anyone either. He crouched with them, puzzled.
Little Ning Gege and them not there.
We can, draw them,
Xie Yaoyao pulled a drawing pad from his little dinosaur backpack, his voice milky.
Bunny officer, all catch bad guys like this.
In Forest Bunny Police, even though Black Soil Wolf was the main antagonist, the little bunnies also caught other bad guys in the forest.
Xie Yaoyao’s fair, tender cheeks puffed with each breath.
This, this was called what?
He hemmed and hawed for a long time before finally remembering. His milky voice was firm.
This called Salted Fish Person Portrait!
Salted Fish Person Ning Shixue: “…”
Thanks, feeling indirectly roasted. Filming a variety show and he’d even changed species. And wasn’t he an innocent victim here?
The bullet comments were dying of laughter.
[Help, baby, that’s ‘suspect.’]
[Even the kid knows my wife is a salted fish.]
Xie Yaoyao convinced Ji Xiao and Jiang Yu. They crouched together to draw the portrait of the Salted Fish Person.
The first one drawn was Ning Shixue.
Bad Bad!
A few minutes later, Xie Yaoyao held up the pad with his chubby little hands. It was his bad stepdad!
The bullet comments saw that he had drawn an extremely abstract stick figure on the paper. Thin arms, thin legs, a black earring on the right earlobe. Xie Yaoyao had even given Ning Shixue shoulder-length hair.
[If you say he didn’t draw it well, there are actually features. But if you say it looks like him… I really can’t bring myself to say it.]
[Abstract artist, age three and a half.]
Ji Xiao tilted his head and watched for a while, then asked very quietly,
Can I draw on it some more?
Can oh,
Xie Yaoyao said, swinging his little feet.
Ji Xiao lowered his head and carefully added eyes and a nose to the figure. Xie Yaoyao hadn’t drawn a face at all. But after he added them, it was pretty much the same as before.
Just two eyes and a nose, anyway.
[Babies, you two are some real geniuses.]
Jiang Yu stood nearby, arms crossed, frowning. He really didn’t think they’d find Little Ning Gege like this.
Xie Yaoyao had been lying on the ground drawing and got tired. He stuck out his little bottom, trying to stand up, when he noticed a person in a bear mascot costume not far away, wildly flailing around.
Like they were trying to get their attention.
Bear gone crazy,
Xie Yaoyao said, horrified.
Actually, the bear was a staff member in disguise. They had been waiting there for a long time to give them directions. But none of the three kids noticed them, and they were exhausted.
Bear, bear,
Xie Yaoyao ran over, straining to lift his chubby little arms to show the bear the paper.
You know, this Salted Fish Person, where at?
Know oh,
the bear said in a muffled voice, raising a bear paw to point towards the Ferris wheel.
Jiang Yu was dumbfounded.
Wow, it actually worked?
He was starting to admire Xie Yaoyao. No wonder Xie Yaoyao didn’t want to call him big brother.
Could Xie Yaoyao really be the Sea King?
