Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

Stepping out of the aquarium, the air outside was much fresher.

Zhou Linxu put Zanzan on the ground and shook his arms a couple of times.

Zan Zan has indeed gotten a bit chubby lately. My arms are getting tired after holding him for a while, unlike before when I could hold him all day without feeling any discomfort.

Zan Zan didn't notice Zhou Linxu's arm-swinging behavior because he was attracted to something new. He took Jin Xi's hand and said, "It's so lively up ahead!"

The tinkling sounds sound like a performance.

Jinxi lowered her head and smiled, "You're full of energy as soon as you come out."

It seems I should try to find more outdoor activities in the future. On weekdays, it's better to stay in these more enclosed places where there are fewer people.

Zhou Yanqian pulled Jinxi's hand and walked forward. After taking two steps, Jinxi turned back and said, "Let's go, Xiaoxu."

Zhou Linxu nodded and followed behind the two of them. When they passed the vending machine, he stopped and scanned the code to buy two bottles of mineral water.

The performance area is in the very center, on a high platform, so you can see it clearly without having to stand very close.

Zhou Yanqian craned her neck to look up, but because of her petite stature, her view was still somewhat obstructed.

Damn it, when will he be 1.88 meters tall again?!

The next second, he was picked up by Jinxi.

Jinxi was both amused and exasperated: "If you can't see, you can call me or Daddy, and we can hug you."

Zhou Yanqian gave a perfunctory "uh-huh" twice. Just then, a new program came on, and it was a face-changing performance!

Jinxi held Zanzan in her arms, watching his expression intently, and smiled, "You like it?"

Zhou Yanqian nodded. Every time he saw something new, he felt like he had wasted his previous life. How interesting!

It's at least more interesting than going to work; no wonder those rich kids with no skills like to travel the world.

Unlike him, who prefers to stay at the company or at home, he is commonly known as a homebody.

Zhou Yanqian had been staring intently at the stage, and when he saw the other person quickly change their expression, he couldn't help but let out a small gasp.

That's amazing!

Jinxi couldn't help but laugh, but didn't disturb him. She glanced up at him, but before she could even finish looking, a bottle of mineral water was placed in front of her: "Have some water."

Jinxi looked over and saw that Zhou Linxu had caught up.

Jinxi took the mineral water bottle with one hand, and Zhou Linxu took Zanzan from her arms.

Zhou Yanqian glanced at him, then wrapped a chubby arm around his neck obediently, his eyes still intently fixed on the stage.

Zhou Linxu asked, "Do you like it?"

"Hmm." Zhou Yanqian thought to himself, why do these two always ask the same questions?

Zhou Linxu said, "I think you're quite good at changing your expression."

Zhou Yanqian pinched his mouth shut with perfect precision: "Don't bother me."

It's so noisy!

Jinxi couldn't help but smile when she saw this scene. She drank water while looking at the stage.

Face-changing performances are generally quite short, lasting only a little over a minute.

She gulped down most of the water and was about to put the cap back on when she caught a glimpse of two figures in martial arts uniforms beside the stage.

Jinxi lowered her eyes slightly, but then she suddenly seemed to realize something and looked up at that spot, but there was nothing there, as if the two figures just now were her imagination.

Zhou Linxu asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

He noticed the moment Jinxi suddenly looked up, but when he followed her gaze, he saw nothing but a dense crowd of people.

Jinxi snapped out of her daze and whispered, "...It's nothing."

She must have been mistaken; how could it possibly be them...?

That said, now that she's been here for so long, she wonders if her other relatives will ever visit her parents' graves out of respect for the deceased.

Zhou Linxu noticed that Jin Xi seemed a little melancholy and disappointed, and said gently, "Are you tired? Why don't we go back first? It's almost time."

Zhou Yanqian turned to Jin Xi and said, "Let's go back then!"

He's not the kind of unreasonable kid!

Jinxi patted his head. Just then, the next show started to begin. She looked at the stage and said, "Huh? It's a martial arts show. Isn't this perfect for our profession? Let's watch this show before we leave."

Zhou Yanqian hurriedly went to check, and sure enough, it was a martial arts program!

He is now considered Xiaoxi's martial arts successor, and I must say, his martial arts are really beautiful to watch.

He might as well become a martial arts teacher in the future; just thinking about it is incredibly inspiring!

As Jinxi watched the martial arts performance on stage, she thought to herself that she must have been seeing things.

However, all martial arts under heaven are indeed from the same family; their moves and techniques are almost identical. Soon, the martial arts performance came to an end.

Zhou Yanqian rubbed his stomach: "I need to go to the toilet."

Jinxi said, "Let's go, we can go back after we use the restroom."

Zhou Linxu thought so too.

He turned around with Zan Zan in his arms. There was a public restroom near the entrance, and it would probably take them about ten minutes to walk there.

It's already noon, and almost everyone I met had lunch with them. Even the restaurants in some aquariums I passed were packed with people.

Jinxi glanced at the time; it was already 12:15. She asked, "Are you hungry, baby?"

"I'm hungry," Zhou Yanqian said. "I want a hamburger."

He just saw someone eating a hamburger, and he wanted to eat one too, and he also wanted fried chicken!

"Then let's go out to eat," Zhou Linxu said. "Let Uncle Li take us to the nearest shopping mall."

They'll probably be driving back around 1 a.m., and Zan Zan won't be hungry for that long, so it's better for them to eat a little something outside.

Hamburgers have a relatively consistent taste, so it's okay to eat a little bit.

Jinxi nodded: "Buy a picture frame while you're at it. Make a note of that too, or I might forget later."

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement and lifted Zan Zan up slightly: "Remember?"

"I remember, I remember." Zhou Yanqian sniffed. "Can we hurry up? Are you trying to make me faint from hunger?"

Amidst laughter and conversation, the confrontation between the father and son on the road began again.

Jinxi shook her head helplessly, but this way of getting along was better than just getting angry all the time.

The family of three left the aquarium and arrived at a shopping mall ten minutes later. Although the mall was also crowded, there were more choices, and there were empty seats at the burger joint.

Jinxi scanned the QR code on the table, ordered food for herself and Zanzan first, and then handed her phone to Zhou Linxu: "Take a look, what do you want to eat?"

Zhou Linxu ordered two hamburgers of different flavors.

After ordering, Jinxi leaned back in her chair and let out a long sigh: "Going to crowded places is exhausting."

Zhou Yanqian blinked: "It's alright."

He's not tired at all!

Jinxi gently rubbed his soft little face: "Of course you're not tired, your dad carried you the whole way."

Zhou Yanqian's eyes darted around, and he pretended not to hear again.

Zhou Linxu had just replied to a work message when he saw his expression. He chuckled helplessly and muttered, "He's just awful."

She looks exactly like her biological father.

Zhou Yanqian's face was turned towards Jin Xi, so he didn't hear what he said at all.

Jinxi did hear it, but not quite clearly. Just then, the hamburger was ready.

She said, "The food's ready, I'm going..."

"I'll go," Zhou Linxu said, placing his phone on the table. "You rest first."

Jinxi didn't try to take it from him and continued sitting in the chair. Zhou Linxu left, but left his phone behind.

Zhou Yanqian picked up his phone and unlocked it seriously. Actually, his phone wasn't fun at all; there were no games like Candy Crush, no short videos, and no apps for watching cartoons.

Zhou Yanqian just couldn't understand why Zhou Linxu was so boring (￣、￣)!

Zhou Yanqian quickly downloaded a match-3 game, but before he finished downloading it, Zhou Linxu returned carrying a tray.

Zhou Yanqian's eyes lit up when he saw the overflowing food.

Huh? He suddenly started living a good life?
