CHAPTER 298: CHAPTER 218: YOU EVEN TAKE CHILDREN’S TOYS, HAVE SOME SHAME_3

"A father’s father is called Grandpa, a father’s mother is called Grandma..."

"An older brother’s wife is called Sister-in-law; go to her house for dumplings..."

Seeing the curiosity in Xu Qingqiu’s eyes, Chu Tian glanced at the remaining giant grilled squid in his bag and walked over.

"Hey kid, do you like grilled squid?"

As he spoke, he deliberately took out the squid and, closing his eyes, sniffed it right under his nose.

The child on the rocking car stared, eyes wide, as his unstoppable drool formed strings, nearly becoming one with his drool bib.

"Want to eat it? If you want it, I can give it to you, but can I have this car then?"

Watching the child across from him, whose little mouth was working constantly as he gulped down saliva, Chu Tian wickedly handed over the squid.

The poor kid, naive to the dangers of the human world, instinctively took it.

Seeing this, Chu Tian quickly pointed at the rocking car and said, "Look, the squid is yours now, so can you let me have the car?"

The child seemed a bit confused, but his mouth was not idle. He licked his lips, his eyes fixed on the squid, never looking away.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

After saying that, he didn’t even care about the rocking car anymore and scampered off to the shop next door, plopping down on a stool to start eating.

"Quick, come over!" Chu Tian hurriedly turned and called to Xu Qingqiu.

Little did he know, Xu Qingqiu was utterly stupefied at that moment.

She looked incredulously at Chu Tian, who had just tricked a child and was now proudly waving at her to come over.

Seriously, wasn’t he afraid the kid’s parents might come out and beat him up?

"How can you even deceive a child?"

"What are you talking about? How is this deception? It’s a fair trade, understand?"

Chu Tian rolled his eyes speechlessly. His girlfriend was great in every way, just not good with words. How had he deceived anyone?

"Look, I gave him squid in exchange for playing with the rocking car. Plus, we even have to scan to pay for it. How is that deceiving?"

"But..."

"No buts. Get on quickly, or we won’t be able to play if someone comes."

"Huh? Why?"

Chu Tian didn’t tell her why but just picked her up and placed her in the car. Xu Qingqiu, still holding a grilled sausage and utterly bewildered, found herself sitting on the ride.

"A father’s father is called..."

As he scanned the code and paid, the rocking car joyously started to sway.

"Oh? HEHE..."

"Wow, this car is so fun!"

"It’s flashy and bright, it sings, and it moves!"

"Can we change this music? It feels so weird!"

Xu Qingqiu was initially embarrassed but soon became engrossed, even getting a bit carried away.

Apart from the odd music, everything else seemed very fun.

And so, Xu Qingqiu rocked through one song, then another.

It wasn’t until dark that someone from inside the store, curious about something, came out to take a look. They found a grown adult happily swaying back and forth in the car.

"Hey! How old are you? Adults can’t play this!"

Hearing the voice, Xu Qingqiu turned around in surprise. The person, seeing she was indeed an adult, hurriedly came out to shoo her away.

Xu Qingqiu was still confused and was just about to explain.

The moment Chu Tian heard it was the owner, he didn’t say another word, simply picked up Xu Qingqiu, and bolted.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? Why are we running?"

"Don’t talk, just run!"

After carrying her for more than ten meters, Chu Tian set Xu Qingqiu down and, taking her hand, pulled her away without looking back.

Only when they could no longer see the shop did the two of them stop, panting.

"Why did we have to run?"

"What do you mean, why? That thing is for kids, not adults."

"We could have just explained, couldn’t we?"

"Explain what? If we had stayed, we would have definitely been scolded. By running, we avoid trouble, and they won’t chase us."

"Ah? Could it have broken? If it did, I can pay for it."

"No worries, it wouldn’t break. That thing is sturdy. They just don’t want adults playing on it. You’re so light, it’s fine; she wouldn’t really care. But if a much heavier person got on, then she’d be anxious."

Chu Tian hadn’t expected Xu Qingqiu to be so earnest, but he explained nonetheless.

The ride’s weight capacity was at least 165 pounds, and Xu Qingqiu weighed only around 99 pounds, so she was well within the limit. The owner simply wanted to avoid trouble by applying a blanket ban on adults.

It wasn’t a big deal at all, especially since they had paid.

Staying would have only led to pointless arguments; they wouldn’t have asked for compensation or anything.

As they talked, they realized the parking lot wasn’t far off.

Sister Hua had already called to ask about them while they were playing. Originally, Chu Tian had wanted to take her to the anime theme park for more fun, but seeing the fatigue on Xu Qingqiu’s face, he decided against it.

"Let’s go. It’s time to head home."
