{“I kind of miss living in Ohio.” 5}

Half an hour later.

Zhao Buhuiappeared downstairs at a household, carrying two large bags of snacks that children love. He wandered back and forth along the gravel path by the community’s flower bed.

“Hey, Zhao Ge, long time no see! What brings you here today?” His elementary school classmate, Yan Xun, was delighted to see him. His eyes lit up as he said, “Miaomiao, come over and greet him, this is your Uncle Zhao.”

“Uncle Zhao, you brought a lot of snacks!”

The little one immediately saw through his intentions. “Come on, tell me, you’re not here just for something, are you?”

“Hey, you’re just a kid, how can you speak like that to an adult?” Yan Xun reprimanded. “Show some respect to your Uncle Zhao.”

However, Yan Xun had known Zhao Buhui for many years, and this was the first time he had ever seen Zhao Buhui act so polite and courteous. He was even personally handing over the snacks in large and small bags. If the child could see through it, how could he not understand?

“Zhao Ge, if there’s something going on, let’s go inside and talk,” Yan Xun thought Zhao Buhui might have come to him with some trouble.

Zhao Buhui waved his hand. “No, let’s just talk here in front of the child.”

Zhao Buhui even unusually peeled off the clear wrapping of a lollipop and handed it to the little one personally.

“I want to ask you, Miaomiao, would you be interested in joining a variety show? You get to travel to different places and try the local specialties for free.”

“With you, or with someone else?”

The little one couldn’t wait to taste the lollipop, but still, reluctantly, asked first, showing a very rational mind.

“What does that matter?”

Yan Miaomiao was firm: “Of course it matters! I’ve seen plenty of variety shows like ‘Where’s Dad?’ I know my teammate is really important. If it’s with you, I’m not going. But if it’s with someone else, I might consider it.”

Zhao Buhui was nearly choked with anger.

“Miaomiao, how can you say something like that?”

“But when I look at you, Uncle Zhao, you don’t seem very smart or quick-witted. How can you take care of me?”

Always keeping in mind to help Qian Xu, Zhao Buhui finally swallowed his anger. “It’s not with me. It’s with an older sister.”

He took out a photo he had secretly taken of her driving that night.

Yan Miaomiao immediately agreed: “Uncle Zhao, I’m willing to go!”

Once again, he was treated differently.

He wasn’t sure how he felt when he told Qian Xu about this, but naturally, he skipped over the part that would be too embarrassing to mention. However, secrets can be hidden, but huge secrets are impossible to conceal.

Qian Xu hadn’t known Yan Miaomiao for long, but she already felt the child’s eyes full of admiration for her… as well as an indescribable disdain toward Zhao Buhui.
