I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

After the second quarterfinal match, the production team finally gave everyone a day off.

The production team plans to take all the families on a tour of downtown Boston.

Take a look at the Charles River, stroll around the city center, feed the pigeons in the square, and then have lunch at a famous lobster roll restaurant.

The kids have been either recording shows or watching competitions these past few days, so they really need to relax.

Zhao Lei immediately perked up when he heard about lobster rolls.

"This is good!"

"We've seen the World Cup, now we need to see the cities too."

"Today we're just having a relaxing city tour."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Every time you say you're relaxed, you're not really relaxed afterwards."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi smiled and patted him.

"Don't raise your flag recklessly."

Zhao Lei immediately shut up.

The live chat is also very lively right now.

"Finally, it's the slice-of-life episode!"

"After watching two games, I need to take a break."

"Teacher Ling'er's trip to American cities is bound to create some memorable moments."

Director: Today is a real day off.

Ling'er: You might not be able to get enough rest.

"Hahaha, this kid's words sound like prophecies, but he's actually very experienced."

After breakfast, the group got into the car.

Outside the car window, the scenery was completely different from that of cities in China.

Wide streets, tall glass buildings, pedestrians coming and going on the roadside, some wearing jerseys, some carrying coffee, some walking their big dogs slowly across the road.

Small round tables are set up outside the coffee shop on the street corner, and the sunlight falls on the umbrellas, making it look very comfortable.

Zhao Mengmeng leaned against the car window.

"Mom, there are so many tall buildings here."

Bai Sisi smiled and said, "This is the city center."

Zhou Xiaoyu whispered, "Their road signs are all in English."

Chen Doudou stared at a hamburger shop on the roadside.

"Is their food also in English?"

Lin Jia: "..."

Chen Hao couldn't stop laughing.

"The food isn't in English, but the menu is."

Shen Ling'er sat next to Yang Mi, but didn't rush to speak.

This was her first time visiting the United States.

But unlike many children, she didn't just watch the excitement.

She first checked the timing of the traffic lights at the intersection, then observed the pace of pedestrians crossing the road, and finally watched which direction cyclists were crossing from the side of the street.

Yang Mi looked down at her and asked, "Ling'er, what are you looking at?"

Shen Ling'er said, "People here walk more casually than they do in China."

Yang Mi was slightly taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

Shen Ling'er explained earnestly, "In China, many people walk with the crowd, with those in front walking faster than those behind. Here, many people walk independently; some look at their phones, some drink coffee, and some suddenly stop to take pictures. So when walking here, you need to look both ways, otherwise you're likely to bump into someone."

Zhao Lei, who was sitting in the front row, immediately turned around after hearing this.

"Teacher Ling'er, is this your first time in the United States, and you've already started summarizing the habits of pedestrians in cities?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Or should we just look at the buildings?"

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi smiled.

"She's right."

"When taking children out, the worst thing is being in an unfamiliar environment."

Zhou Chen nodded.

"She has a habit of observing her surroundings first, which is a good thing."

Zhao Lei turned to the camera.

"Dear viewers, this is their first time visiting America, and they're here to see the sights."

"This is Teacher Ling'er's first time in the United States. She is observing pedestrian traffic flow."

Shen Ling'er added, "And restaurants."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The comments section erupted in laughter.

"Hahaha, they even want to see the hotel!"

"Teacher Ling'er's Urban Observation Studies is now online."

"This is my first time in the United States. I look at the roads first, then the people, and then the food."

"This kid is so genuine."

The car quickly stopped on the banks of the Charles River.

weather is good.

The river surface glistened in the sunlight, and sailboats glided slowly across the water in the distance. People were running, cycling, and taking pictures by the railings on the bridge.

As soon as the crew got off the bus, the children were captivated by the scenery along the river.

Zhao Mengmeng held Bai Sisi's hand.

"Mommy, you look so beautiful!"

Zhou Xiaoyu nodded as well.

"There are small boats on the water."

Chen Doudou looked at the riverbank, then at the distance.

"Do you sell food here?"

Lin Jia sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

Shen Ling'er stood by the river and stared at the water for a few seconds.

Yang Mi assumed she liked the scenery and asked with a smile, "Is it beautiful?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"nice."

Zhao Lei immediately came over.

"Teacher Ling'er, surely you can't have spotted something wrong again this time?"

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"You want a problem?"

Zhao Lei quickly shook his head.

"I don't want that."

Shen Ling'er pointed to the riverside path.

"Then look ahead when you walk, and don't talk to the camera backwards."

"There are quite a few people riding bikes here. If you take two more steps back, you'll bump into someone."

Zhao Lei was taken aback.

He turned around instinctively.

Sure enough, a foreign boy on a bicycle was coming from behind.

Zhao Lei quickly moved aside.

The bicycle brushed past the hem of his clothes.

The boy raised his hand and said, "Sorry!"

Zhao Lei quickly waved his hand as well.

"Sorry, sorry!"

After everyone had left, Zhao Lei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did I almost get into an accident just now?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"It's not just almost, it's very close."

Zhao Lei clutched his chest.

"On my first day in America, Ling'er saved my heel."

Bai Sisi couldn't stop laughing.

"Don't walk backwards anymore."

Shen Ling'er added, "Especially avoid talking too much backwards."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The screen was flooded with comments.

"Hahaha, he talks too much upside down!"

"Ling'er's City Safety Tip #1: Zhao Lei, do not back up while operating the business."

"She is really always observing her surroundings."

"Zhao Lei has become a mobile risk point."

After walking along the river for a while, the production team arranged for everyone to rest on the lawn.

The children got excited as soon as they saw the pigeons.

Zhao Mengmeng asked softly, "Can I feed it?"

Bai Sisi looked at the staff.

The staff member nodded and took out the birdseed that had been purchased in advance.

Each child received a small bag.

Chen Doudou frowned as she looked at the birdseed in her hand.

"This isn't for me to eat, is it?"

Lin Jia immediately said, "No."

Chen Doudou was relieved.

"Then I won't try it."

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"If you actually try it, the pigeons will think you're stealing their food."

Chen Doudou immediately became serious.

"That won't do, it's impolite to snatch food."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Several pigeons quickly gathered around.

Zhao Mengmeng squatted on the ground and carefully sprinkled a little bit.

Zhou Xiaoyu also started scattering.

Chen Doudou was quite generous; she threw them out in one go, and instantly a flock of pigeons flew over.

Lin Jia was startled.

"DouDou, slow down!"

Chen Doudou quickly backed away.

"They eat quite enthusiastically."

Shen Ling'er stood to the side, not feeding him immediately.

She looked at where the pigeons were fighting for food and suddenly said, "That gray pigeon has an injured leg."

Zhao Lei was taken aback.

Which one?

Shen Ling'er pointed to a gray-white pigeon on the outermost circle.

"That one."

"It didn't dare to squeeze into the middle, its right foot landed very lightly, and it kept supporting its body with its left foot."

"It wanted to eat it, but it couldn't win."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyu immediately felt sorry for him.

"What should we do then?"

Shen Ling'er poured some birdseed out of the bag and scattered a small amount to the side.

Instead of scattering them in the middle of the flock, scatter them in a place that is far away and where there are no other pigeons.

Sure enough, the gray pigeon slowly moved over and lowered its head to eat.

Zhao Mengmeng's eyes were bright.

"Ling'er, it's really over."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"The injured one shouldn't compete with the strong one; put the food further away so it can reach it."

Bai Sisi watched this scene and said softly, "She can really see even a pigeon so clearly."

Zhou Chen nodded as well.

"And it was handled very simply."

Zhao Lei whispered to the camera, "Dear viewers, this is Teacher Ling'er's first lesson on her American city tour."

"Even when feeding pigeons, we must consider the dining environment of the weaker pigeons."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You can keep it short."

Zhao Lei immediately changed his tune.

"Take care of the injured pigeons."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"This sentence is much better."

Zhao Lei's eyes lit up.

"My concise expression was certified!"

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Zhao Lei has really been trained now."

"Injured Pigeon: Thank you, Teacher Ling'er."

"Is she really that good at observing small animals?"

"This child is stubborn, but he's really thoughtful."

"He's arrogant, yet he's also very caring towards others. It's so endearing."

Just as everyone was playing around with the pigeons, a dispute in English suddenly broke out not far away.

A street performer in a blue uniform is talking to a tourist.

The tourist was a middle-aged foreign man, holding a camera, and looking somewhat anxious.

There was a little boy next to him, his eyes were red, and he was holding an empty box.

Zhao Lei didn't quite understand, so he frowned and asked the staff.

"What happened over there?"

The accompanying translator listened for a few moments and said, "It seems the little boy's commemorative badge is missing."

"He just bought a World Cup commemorative badge, put it in the box, and then the box was empty in the blink of an eye."

Bai Sisi looked over.

"Was it stolen?"

The translator shook his head.

It's not clear yet.

"They thought the street performer had taken the wrong box because the little boy had just put it on the table next to the performer."

The street performers were clearly also aggrieved.

He kept waving his hand in explanation, saying that he hadn't touched it.

But the little boy's father was getting a little anxious.

A crowd gradually gathered around.

The production team initially didn't want to get close, fearing it might involve local disputes that would be difficult to handle.

But Zhao Lei had already subconsciously looked at Shen Ling'er.

"Teacher Ling'er..."

Shen Ling'er stood there and watched for a while.

Yang Mi asked in a low voice, "Ling'er, can you tell?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"It wasn't that performer who took it."

Zhao Lei immediately asked, "Why?"

Shen Ling'er explained it very clearly.

"There was paint and balloons on his table, and paint stains on his hands."

"If he touched that little box, there should be paint on the side of it."

"But the box was clean, which means he didn't pick it up."

The translator paused for a moment after understanding.

"You can even watch this?"

Shen Ling'er continued, "And when he was arguing just now, he kept his hands outstretched for others to see."

"A guilty person might not act this way, but a person who has been wronged will usually be eager to prove that they have nothing to hide."

Zhao Lei's eyes lit up.

"Where did the badge go?"

Shen Ling'er did not answer immediately.

She took a few steps closer, and Yang Mi quickly took her hand.

Shen Ling'er didn't break free; she simply stood at a safe distance, looking at the box in the little boy's hand.

The box was indeed empty.

However, there was a very slight scratch on the edge of the box.

Shen Ling'er looked at the ground, then at the row of benches next to her.

She pointed down to the bench.

"There."

The translator was taken aback.

"What's there?"

Shen Ling'er said seriously, "A badge."
