Chapter 312

Grandmother understood clearly that Song Huai, over all these years, had never been able to let go of, and could never let go of, the matter of Lu Qing, trapping himself in memories.

Lu Qing was Song Huai's first love in his youth; they were deeply in love, but a sudden accident parted them forever between heaven and earth.

This scar had been etched into Song Huai's heart for over ten years; despite the washing of time, it had never faded.

She saw it in her eyes, felt it in her heart, but did not know how to persuade him.

A hint of dimness flickered in Song Huai's eyes, then he quickly regained composure, saying, "I understand, Mom."

The eldest uncle, sitting nearby, withdrew his gaze from his niece, looked at his brother's appearance, and felt uneasy as well, saying, "Yes, Xiao Huai, if you need anything, just come to me."

Second uncle: "Exactly, home will always be your backing."

The youngest uncle, usually carefree, rarely became serious, saying, "Although there's not much I can help with, I still want to show my support—if you have anything, just speak up."

Hearing his brothers say that, Song Huai felt warm inside, and replied, "Good."

Mu Xin sat to the side, seeing the melancholy in Third Uncle's eyes, and also spoke slowly, his tone steady, reassuring: "Third Uncle, if you have any matters, come to me and my brothers; we're young, but we can help when needed."

Mu Youyu sat obediently beside Jiang Liangjin, noticing Third Uncle's expression still somewhat gloomy, she softly replied, "Third Uncle, if you're bored, you can call me; I'll come anytime."

Seeing her speak up, Jiang Liangjin also turned his gaze seriously to Song Huai, saying, "Me too; if you need anything, just command me, and I'll help together with Youbao."

Seeing his most beloved niece and nephew speak up, Song Huai's heart softened involuntarily; he forced a smile and said, "Good, you have good intentions; Uncle will remember them—you're truly good children."

The others also spoke up, their words similar to those of Jiang Liangjin and Mu Xin.

After Song Huai responded to each in turn, the living room atmosphere fell silent for a moment; Mu Youyu sensed a hint of gloom and quietly tugged Jiang Liangjin's hand.

He returned her grip, gently squeezing her hand to signal her not to worry.

Mu Youyu blinked, turned to look at her grandmother, and said with a smile, "Grandma, A Jin and I want to go to the amusement park; would you like to join us?"

Grandmother helplessly shook her head, reached out to pinch her soft little cheek, her eyes full of indulgence, and said, "Grandma is old now; I won't join your youngsters' liveliness—you two have fun."

After going out shopping today, we're worn out from walking around; still, we won't go.

Mu Youyu didn't press further, turned to look at Third Uncle, and asked, "Third Uncle, do you want to go to the amusement park with us?"

Song Huai couldn't bear to refuse her kindness, merely thinking that the amusement park would be crowded and noisy, fearing it would disturb the children's enjoyment, so he smiled and instructed, "Uncle won't go; the amusement park is crowded—remember to reserve the whole place."

Mu Youyu obediently agreed, but in her heart she didn't think that way—she believed the more people, the better; a lively atmosphere.

Perhaps Third Uncle could temporarily forget his worries.

Just as she was about to say something more, Mu Xin spoke first, looking at the two of them with a gentle tone: "If you want to go, just go; let the bodyguards follow, pay attention to safety, and call home when you've had enough."

Mu Xi also nodded, ruffling her head, and said, "Go, be careful."

Mu Nian also added, "Right, don't go on overly stimulating rides; watch out for dizziness."

Song Huaiyu originally frowned, intending to say that the amusement park being crowded was unsafe.

But upon meeting his sister's bright, sparkling eyes, the words on his lips were swallowed back; ultimately he didn't want to upset her, so he said in a low voice, "Go, don't run around, follow Jiang Liangjin."

The Song family brothers and the close brothers all agreed.

But someone was not happy; Mu Xianqi immediately frowned, his tone carrying a hint of disagreement: "No, it's freezing outside; your resistance is weak—what if you catch a cold from the wind at the amusement park?"

Upon hearing that, Mu Yichi's eyes lit up instantly; seeing Mu Xianqi oppose, he immediately became interested and echoed, "Exactly, and besides, the crowd is chaotic—unsafe."

Mu Yichen stood aside, nodding with a cold face, his tone flat: "Right, it's unsafe."

Song Huaiyu glanced thoughtfully at the two, clearly understanding their intentions.

……It's utterly ridiculous, daring to refuse his sister!

Grandmother helplessly shook her head.

Jiang Liangjin smiled and said nothing more.

How could the three brothers possibly compete with him?

Seeing this, Mu Youyu stood up, gently shook Mu Xianqi's arm, and cooed softly, "Xianqi brother, I just want to play for a while; I won't get tired, A Jin and the bodyguards will protect me, okay?"

Mu Yichi saw his sister acting cute; although the target wasn't him, his heart had already softened.

Yet he deliberately put on a stern face, turned to look at Mu Yichen, gave a wink, and then changed his tone: "Well, since the little treasure wants to go, we'll tag along together."

Mu Yichen immediately understood, nodding in agreement: "Mm, let's go together; it'll be safe."

Mu Xianqi watched the two twins suddenly change their tone, clearly aware of what they were planning.

Nothing more than wanting to follow and cling to his sister, while also guarding against Jiang Liangjin.

But seeing his sister's expectant gaze, he ultimately did not object further, and said in a low voice, "Let's go together."

Thus, it was finally decided that Mu Youyu, Jiang Liangjin, plus Mu Xianqi, Mu Yichen, and Mu Yichi—five people in total—would go to the amusement park together.

Everyone rose to prepare; grandmother repeatedly gave several reminders before letting them leave.

Song Huai stood at the doorway, watching the backs of the few people, the melancholy in his eyes fading slightly; he let out a light sigh and turned back to the living room.

The car drove all the way to the amusement park.

Mu Youyu sat in the back seat, her mouth never stopping.

Jiang Liangjin listened patiently, responding occasionally, his eyes full of indulgence.

Mu Yichi sat in the front passenger seat, occasionally turning to look at the two in the back, muttering, "Really, they just know how to stick together."

Mu Yichen glanced at him, said nothing, but also occasionally glanced back.

Mu Youyu noticed the car swaying left and right at a turn because Mu Yichen was distracted, and she jumped in fright, exclaiming, "Yichen brother, watch the road! Safety first!"

Mu Yichen immediately withdrew his gaze, "... I know."

Mu Xianqi took pleasure in their misfortune.

He sat in the opposite side of the back seat, his gaze on his sister, his eyes soft yet tinged with vigilance, fearing Jiang Liangjin would take advantage of his sister.

Upon arriving at the amusement park entrance, Jiang Liangjin, heeding Mu Youyu's words, did not arrange a private booking.

At the gate, people came and went, the scene extraordinarily lively, brimming with New Year spirit.

Mu Youyu stepped out of the car and immediately grabbed Jiang Liangjin's hand, running inside, saying, "A Jin, let's go ride the roller coaster first—I haven't played in ages, I've been missing it."

Seeing this, Mu Xianqi immediately lifted his foot to follow, but having just taken a step, he was seized by Mu Yichi and Mu Yichen, one on each side, grabbing his arms.

"Qi ge, don't rush, let's first go check out the snack stalls over there, buy something tasty for Youbao." Mu Yichi laughed, but his grip wasn't light, he tightly grabbed him.

Mu Yichen also nodded, coldly said: "Right, first buy food, she's hungry."

Mu Xianqi struggled, couldn't break free, watching his sister and Jiang Liangjin's figures grow farther away, he gritted his teeth in anger: "You two let go of me, I want to follow Youbao!"

"Ah, Qi ge, everyone said Youbao is hungry, don't make a fuss, come with us to buy food." Mu Yichi chuckled, pulling him in the opposite direction.

Mu Yichen said nothing, but tightly gripped his arm, cooperating with Mu Yichi.

Mu Xianqi: "……"

Heavens, how could this be like this?
