I Deliver Food in a Lamborghini

61 Baby Penguin Accompanying You

Nan Ge grabbed the seatbelt in front of her with her hands trembling as soon as Shen Yanqing finished speaking.

“Actually, this is good…” She started to feel nervous for some reason and comforted him incoherently. “Auntie has a new family. At least you won’t be so worried about her being alone outside.”

“Besides, although she found happiness again, you’re still her son. She still loves you very much.”

“Yes,” Shen Yanqing replied with a smile. “This is indeed good.”

“Yes, yes.” Nan Ge nodded vigorously.

“Have you been at Uncle’s place for the past few days?”

“No, I didn’t. I spent New Year’s Eve and the first day of the New Year over there. After that, they went back to their own place.”

“Huh? You’ve been alone at home for the past two days?”

“Yes. Father has more relatives and friends. Also, Auntie’s around to take care of him. I usually don’t stay at his place for long.”

Auntie…

Hearing this word, Nan Ge had a brainstorm. “Your father… also?”

“He remarried earlier. He married Auntie when I was in high school.”

“…”

Nan Ge inexplicably thought of the classic vicious stepmother in television dramas. “Then… then is she okay?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that it was impolite to say this, so she quickly tried to make up for it. “I mean… Does she treat you well?”

“Auntie has a good personality but we’re not very familiar with each other.”

“I lived on campus in high school and university, so I rarely went back. I went overseas after graduation. When I returned to my hometown, I lived alone.”

The one time he spoke to his stepmother the most was at his father and stepmother’s wedding.

Other than that, all these years, the two of them simply greeted each other without talking much whenever they met.

They could be considered strangers who did not interfere with each other.

After touching on the wrong subject consecutively, Nan Ge lowered her head and did not dare to ask further.

She raised her hand and secretly slapped her mouth, feeling a little annoyed.

It was not a good thing to be too curious.

“Don’t be sad for me.” At this moment, a hand reached out from the side and gently rubbed her little head, comforting her.

“A few years ago, this might have been a sensitive subject to me, but it doesn’t matter now.”

“Since both my parents have new families, I can relax.”

“Why?” She didn’t quite understand what he was saying.

Shen Yanqing imitated her usual cheerful tone and said, “Because they all have someone to take care of them. I can also have my own family.”

“Your own… family?”

Nan Ge muttered his words softly and pondered carefully. “Oh, so that’s what you meant.”

From the corner of his eye, he saw that her expression was normal. Shen Yanqing knew that she did not understand.

However, he did not want to explain now.

Because it was too early to talk about such a topic.

It was too abrupt and would make her feel awkward.

Hence, he only smiled and casually brushed it off before changing the topic.

“We’re here. I’ll find a place to park.”

——

There was a music fountain nearby. Shen Yanqing still had some impression of it.

As expected, when the two of them went over, there were indeed more people around. Many people were taking photos.

There were also two merchants operating nearby.

“Oh, how did you know this place?” Nan Ge, who was from Jiang City, did not know this place.

Although she did not stay at her grandmother’s house often, she would come over a few times a year.

There was actually a music fountain here. She had not noticed it before!

“When I came here to see Grandma earlier, I came here with my cousin to buy something and saw it by accident.”

“Oh, okay.” Nan Ge took out her phone and found a good angle to take a photo.

On the side, a couple passing by did not pay much attention. When they brushed past each other, the balloon in their hands hit Nan Ge.

Instantly, the baby penguin’s attention was attracted by the balloon in the other party’s hand.

It was a little pig balloon!

Shen Yanqing followed her gaze and locked his gaze on the pink pig floating in the air.

He turned sideways and scanned the vicinity of the fountain.

After finding what he wanted, Shen Yanqing took a step forward, his tall body blocking Nan Ge’s envious gaze.

“Hmmm?” She looked up.

The man tidied her scarf as if he was reminding a child. “Take a photo here. Don’t run around. Don’t move more than a meter in front, behind, left, and right.”

“I’m going over there for a while. I’ll be back soon. Got it?”

...

Nan Ge did not know what he was going to do, but she did not ask. She just nodded obediently. “Oh, okay.”

——

Shen Yanqing asked for a pink pig that Nan Ge liked very much.

“Hold it properly. Otherwise, it’s going to fly off.”

“Okay.” Shen Yanqing took out his phone and was about to pay when a black balloon flew past his eyes. He took half a step back and narrowed his black eyes under his glasses.

In the next moment, the man’s eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face. “Can I have this one too?”

“Sure thing.”

When Shen Yanqing returned after buying the balloons, he saw the little girl by the fountain through the crowd.

She had probably taken enough photos. With her hand in her pocket, she stood alone and looked up at the fountain in front of her in a daze.

As it was a little close to the fountain, the water seemed to be splashing out.

The little girl foolishly did not dodge. From time to time, she would blink and stand there to watch.

...

The position was the same as before he left. She did not seem to have moved a single step from the beginning to the end.

As he approached, a shadow fell.

When the little girl realized this, she raised her neck and looked at him.

Immediately after, he saw stars flickering in her eyes. The dullness on her face changed to a sweet smile. As if she was asking for credit, she said to him, “I kept standing in this spot. I didn’t move at all the entire time.”

She gently traced the edge of the tiles with the tip of her foot, wanting him to see better.

For a moment, Shen Yanqing’s heart softened.

“I know.”

He handed over one of the balloons in his hand and gently tied it to her wrist.

Nan Ge was attracted and looked up at the balloon in the air.

Oh, it’s a pink pig!!!

“Is it for me?” She sounded surprised.

“Yes, this is a reward for you.”

Nan Ge chuckled and waved her hand holding the balloon. The balloon in the air came downward, inadvertently bumping into another balloon beside her. “Huh? Did you get one for yourself too?”

She tilted her head and looked at his. “Is this… a black bear?”

The lights of the fountain swayed with the music and happened to dim. Nan Ge only had time to see a dark mass.

“Nope.”

Shen Yanqing pulled down the rope and asked her to take a closer look.

“It’s a baby penguin.”

Nan Ge exclaimed and said, “That’s great! With the baby penguin accompanying you, you won’t be alone when you go home tonight.”
