"..."
Lin Xiao didn't know what to say. If he spoke too harshly, he was afraid of hurting Xun'er. But if he didn't educate Xun'er properly, things would spiral out of control later.
"Promises must be kept, that's not wrong. But you have to differentiate if it's a promise made on impulse, for your pride, or something else," Lin Xiao patiently explained.
However, it was clearly too advanced for Xun'er to grasp these concepts at her age.
In the end, Lin Xiao could only make a pact with Xun'er, agreeing to let her bring her friends on a helicopter ride this time.
He wondered if the parents of these children would agree. He believed that normal parents wouldn't so easily agree to let their children ride in someone else's helicopter.
The next day.
He was dumbfounded.
It was indeed a holiday today, but he hadn't expected these parents to so readily bring their children out and entrust them to him.
"Mr. Lin, thank you for your trouble!"
These parents all appeared to be completely at ease with Lin Xiao, their faces beaming with smiles.
"It's no trouble, no trouble..."
Lin Xiao quickly replied.
It was no trouble for him; he just had to fly the helicopter. However, the children afterwards would be Ye Chen's responsibility.
"Isn't my dad amazing!"
Xun'er was exceptionally happy, her mouth practically pointing at the sky. She felt immensely proud.
"When I get home, I'll ask my dad to buy a plane too..."
"Me too!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiao's lips twitched. If the parents who had so confidently entrusted their children to him just moments ago heard their darlings making such requests, they would likely regret it.
The destination for the outing was a remote suburb of Shashi. It was only in such a place that there was a large enough open area for the helicopter to land.
Once all the children disembarked, they scattered like a flock of birds.
"Be careful."
Lin Xiao shouted. This was directed at Ye Chen and the others, not the children.
After all, these children wouldn't heed his words.
Lin Xiao also found a nice camphor tree, though he wasn't sure if it was a camphor tree. It looked green and lush, so he sat beneath it to enjoy the shade.
...
After finishing her washing and applying makeup, Nangong Wushuang emerged from the e-sports hotel in high spirits.
She even had a lollipop in her mouth, making it impossible to tell that she was currently the matriarch of a prominent family.
She would more easily be mistaken for a student traveling during the summer break.
"Hello..."
As she was about to leave, a handsome young man, his face slightly flushed, ran up to her and handed her a cup of milk tea. "Hello, I'd like to treat you to this milk tea... Would you be willing to let me get to know you?"
Nangong Wushuang took the milk tea and smiled faintly. "My name is Wushuang. Now we know each other. May I go now?"
Without waiting for the young man to react, Nangong Wushuang gracefully walked away with the milk tea.
"She... just left like that?"
The young man's companion walked over and patted his shoulder.
However, at that moment, the young man was gazing at Nangong Wushuang's retreating back, his face a picture of infatuation.
"She's... the Juliet of my dreams... I must win her over!"
"Then go after her!"
