Chapter 354: Chapter 354 Han Wants to Be a Man!
The Dino Amusement Park is a half-hour car ride away.
When we arrived at the amusement park’s parking lot, it was almost ten o’clock.
Ji Xiuyuan got out of the car, leaning on a cane, while Lin Qi held Momo’s hand in one hand and Han’s hand in the other.
Huo Tingdong had just gotten out of the car when he passed by a tour group.
Seeing the crowd, Ji Xiuyuan instinctively wanted to avoid them, but then he remembered he was dressed up as an elderly grandpa. He immediately hunched his back, and at a glance, he truly looked like a feeble old man.
The passing tourists were amazed, “How old is this old man to still come to an amusement park like this?”
“Yes, I think this grandpa can hardly walk anymore!”
“Is the person standing beside him his grandson? So tall and handsome!”
“Four generations together, the old man is truly blessed!”
A few tourists passed by and politely greeted Ji Xiuyuan: “Grandpa, how old are you this year?”
Ji Xiuyuan coughed, mimicking the voice of a man in his eighties or nineties, and slowly said, “I’m eighty-two this year!”
The tourist lady showed a surprised expression, “My goodness, eighty-two, grandpa, you look so energetic!”
Ji Xiuyuan immediately pulled Lin Qi’s hand, “This is my granddaughter-in-law. She said that she finally has a day off today and brought me out to play!”
The tourist lady looked toward Lin Qi, seeing her holding the hands of the two Little Babys, and enviously said, “Grandpa, are these your great-grandsons?”
Ji Xiuyuan smiled softly, “Yes!”
“Oh my, you are truly blessed. I’m envious, surrounded by your children and grandchildren, four generations together!”
Ji Xiuyuan then pointed at Huo Tingdong, “This is my grandson.”
The tourist lady followed the direction he was pointing and saw Huo Tingdong approaching with a dark expression, his intense gaze startling the lady!
That’s terrifying!
This man looks like he wants to kill someone!
So fierce!
Huo Tingdong stared hard at Ji Xiuyuan.
What had he just warned him about?
If he dares take advantage of him, he would disassemble his bones and reassemble them!
This kid is asking for trouble!
How dare he pretend to be his grandpa.
Scared by Huo Tingdong’s gaze, Ji Xiuyuan quickly pulled Lin Qi in front of him.
Lin Qi glared at Huo Tingdong, “Husband, hurry up and help grandpa. Grandpa is old and can’t walk well now!”
On hearing this, Ji Xiuyuan immediately said, “I can walk on my own.”
Saying so, he immediately moved forward with his cane, holding Momo and Han by the hand, heading toward the entrance.
The tourists gradually dispersed.
Lin Qi saw the especially sharp look in Huo Tingdong’s eyes and knew that he must resent Ji Xiuyuan for taking it upon himself to pretend to be his grandfather.
“Don’t stoop to his level.”
Lin Qi took Huo Tingdong’s hand and comforted him, then followed Ji Xiuyuan.
At the entrance.
A few staff members dressed in mascot costumes were distributing balloons.
Han grew increasingly excited, holding Momo’s hand and hopping around, “I want to ride the carousel!”
Momo said, “Childish!”
Han pouted, feeling wronged, “Don’t you like riding the carousel?”
Momo said, “Don’t you think it’s rather childish?”
Han then looked at Ji Xiuyuan, only to see Ji Xiuyuan’s eyes also gradually lighting up with excitement. Upon spotting the drop tower, roller coaster, and big pendulum, despite being a man in his twenties, he was as thrilled as a little kid.
Ji Xiuyuan grabbed Han’s hand, “Han! How about we ride the big pendulum?”
Han: “Okay!”
An instant agreement between the elder and the younger.
Ji Xiuyuan grabbed Han’s hand in one stroke, obviously forgetting that he was dressed as an old man in his eighties or nineties, holding Han’s hand with one hand and using a cane with the other, suddenly walking briskly.
Passing tourists were all stunned.
From a distance, they saw an old man in his eighties leaning on a cane in his left hand and carrying a little dumpling with his right hand, rushing through the entrance gate, checking in the tickets, and turning as cheerful as a mouse falling into a rice bin.
Momo shouted: “Why are you rushing like that, Daddy and Mommy are still behind?”
Worried that Han might be taken too far away by Ji Xiuyuan, he quickly followed.
Lin Qi saw Ji Xiuyuan take Han and rush into the amusement park, surprised: “Why is he so excited?”
After all, Ji Xiuyuan is a grown man in his twenties, and as soon as he enters the amusement park, he gets as excited as a child.
Huo Tingdong said: “Because he’s childish.”
Lin Qi said: “I think he really likes amusement parks.”
Huo Tingdong said: “Who knows with him?”
Upon entering the park, Lin Qi saw Ji Xiuyuan buy three ice creams, one for Momo, one for Han, and one for himself, and the three of them happily started licking them.
Han asked: “Grandpa, which ride shall we go to first?”
Ji Xiuyuan said: “I want to start with the pendulum.”
Han was a bit apprehensive: “Isn’t the pendulum too scary?”
Ji Xiuyuan said: “Han, you don’t understand, a real man is not afraid of the pendulum!”
At this, Han’s eyes twinkled.
He was so eager to become a man!
Only by becoming a true man like Daddy, could he protect Mommy properly and ensure no one bullies her!
This is a great opportunity to train himself!
Han puffed out his chest, ice cream still smeared around his lips, and declared resolutely: “Han is a man, not afraid of the pendulum!”
Ji Xiuyuan said: “Let’s go!”
He and Han quickly licked their ice creams clean, and “grandfather and grandson” holding hands, began sprinting towards the pendulum.
Momo had only licked half of his ice cream when he saw the two excitedly running towards the pendulum, and exclaimed, “Hey!”
To catch up with Ji Xiuyuan and Han, he swallowed the rest of his ice cream ball in one gulp and ran after them.
The amusement park was bustling with people.
The entire park was crafted like a fairy tale world.
Everyone was immersed in a dream-like atmosphere.
In the crowd, an old man with two little dumplings rushed to the queue for the pendulum ride.
Ji Xiuyuan looked around and saw a window selling VIP passes for adults at 998 each, allowing queue-free access to all attractions in the park, free for seniors, and half-price for children.
“Wait! I’ll buy a ticket so we don’t have to queue.”
“Okay.”
Ji Xiuyuan went to the window, bought the passes, and directly led Han and Momo past the long line.
At the ticket checkpoint, however, he was stopped.
The ticket inspector looked at the old man in front of him in shock, then at the two little ones he was holding, and kindly reminded: “Grandpa, are you going to ride this ride?”
Ji Xiuyuan said: “Yes.”
The ticket inspector asked: “How old are you?”
Ji Xiuyuan: “…Probably in my seventies or eighties!”
The ticket inspector: “…Probably?”
Ji Xiuyuan said: “What’s the matter?”
The ticket inspector raised their hand, pointing at the sign that read: “…Seniors aged 60 and above, pregnant women, individuals with high blood pressure, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, please do not ride…”
