Chapter 7 Fragrance
"Dad, let's go see the little animals!"
After five o'clock in the afternoon, when passing by the parent-child activity area, Xinxin looked at the large billboards with many cartoon images of domestic animals and said excitedly.
Only then did Shen Chong remember the main purpose of coming here today, "Okay!"
When Xinxin, who was a little depressed, she recovered her energy when she saw the lively livestock and poultry in the activity area.
"So that's what goats call! Mehehehe!"
"Hey, the big buffalo is so big. Can it really swim?"
"Pigs are so fat, they are not cute at all."
"The storybook says that big roosters are going to crow, why don't they scream?"
"Dad, are you tired? I'll go down and leave by myself."
When the father and daughter finished visiting the parent-child activity park, it was already past six o'clock.
It is early in winter when the sun sets, and it is already sunset and night is approaching.
Shen Chong originally planned to go home now, but in the end he changed his mind.
Because Xinxin asked him, "Dad, you bought me so many toys. Is it a birthday gift for me?"
Shen Chong quickly asked and found out that Xinxin’s birthday turned out to be yesterday!
"Oh, baby, what dad bought you is a birthday gift!"
It is better to choose a day than to meet the day, so Shen Chong immediately "borrows flowers to offer Buddha".
This makes Xinxin happy.
Then Shen Chong asked Xinxin again, "Did you have a birthday cake yesterday?"
Unexpectedly, the baby who was still very happy just now fell silent. "I forgot to tell my father yesterday that the cake I ate with me yesterday, but I didn't eat it."
Shen Chong immediately comforted her, "It's okay, let's buy it now! Let's eat it again today!"
"But my birthday has passed. I celebrated my birthday this year, and I didn't blow candles or make wishes."
The little guy is not easy to coax. Don’t look at her not complaining to Lin Zhishu, it’s just because she is sensible and knows that Lin Zhishu is busy, but she is actually feeling lost.
Shen Chong's eyes rolled, "Hey, Xinxin, mom gave birth to you in the United States, right?"
Xinxin nodded, "Yeah."
"Do you know, actually the time in the United States is one day slower than ours. Now the United States is still yesterday!"
The logic of Shen Chong's time zone is too complicated, and the little guy doesn't understand, "Ah?"
Shen Chong said again: "So, in fact, today is your real birthday! Dad will accompany you to celebrate your birthday today, eat cakes, blow candles, and make wishes, okay?"
Although the little guy still didn't understand much, she could grasp the key points.
"Is this my birthday today? Yes! Dad, you are so awesome!"
For children, adults seem omnipotent if they know such a little thing.
Half an hour later, night had already fallen, but the night view of the sky is unique.
The father and daughter bought a big cake, went to the lake in the center of the park to find a vine table, and set off to blow candles.
The lakeside in the deep winter is a little cold, but the temperature is not particularly low today. Xinxin wears thick clothes, so she is not afraid of colds.
There are very few tourists coming here at this point, most of them are in the lantern district and folk streets there.
Now there is no one else except the father and daughter here, and there is only a lake with shimmering waves under the colorful night lights.
But this is the first real birthday that the father and daughter have spent together. Shen Chong does not feel lonely, and Xinxin does not understand loneliness.
Time ticked invisibly, and it was getting closer to Xinxin's true birth time at 6:30 am Washington time and 7:30 pm Chinese time.
call!
The little guy blew the candle and cheered, "Xinxin is five years old! I made a wish just now. My parents must celebrate my birthday with me next year!"
Shen Chong touched her head and thought to himself, "Silly child, it won't work if he says it."
At this time, Shen Chong didn't know what it means to Xinxin to be five years old.
If he had known it, he wouldn't have brought her to such a place at such a time.
This will make him regret it.
"You should cut the cake after blowing the candle. But Xinxin, you must remember that you can't eat too much at once, otherwise your stomach will hurt. Eat a small piece first and take the rest home before eating, okay?"
Shen Chong said with a smile and picked up the cake knife.
Xinxin smiled sweetly and shouted with joy: "Okay! I'll cut it, I'll cut it!"
Shen Chong handed her the knife, "Don't cut too much."
"Uh-huh!"
The little baby nodded, raised the knife with great value, and carefully shook his hands and slowly pressed it down.
She was so focused, as if the cake in front of her was the whole world.
Shen Chong looked at his daughter beautifully with the slightly dim light, his heart was wrapped in happiness, and the cold deep winter was as warm as spring at this moment.
This is the greatest luck in the world.
Unfortunately, this scene cannot last forever. In another three days, she will be taken away.
The lake wind was blowing and it became a little cold. After eating the cake, take her home quickly.
Shen Chong looked down at the time on his phone, and it was 7:30.
He thought to himself that he would be able to get home before nine o'clock and just arranged for her to go to bed.
The second hand that was not displayed on the phone was still walking, silently crossing 7:30 and 17 seconds.
Shen Chong looked at his daughter again, not knowing that the change had happened.
He was still thinking happily, he was so cute.
Although sometimes it is a little willful, it is often thoughtful and sensible.
What kind of virtue is Shen Chong, I, and I can receive such gifts as God.
Suddenly, a strange fragrance faintly smelled from his nose.
I don’t know where it floated over, but I just felt refreshed and refreshed.
He didn't care much at first, but he still stared at his daughter, feeling that the more he looked, the more he became cute and joyful he looked at.
If it weren't for what he saw and experienced with his own eyes, he would not understand why some people in the world would feel this way when they looked at another person.
Just by a simple sight, you can feel so beautiful that you want to whistle to the sky.
A strong wind gradually blew on the lake.
The wind blew away the colorful lights on the water surface, causing the willow branches swaying by the lake, making rustling sounds.
The strange fragrance in Shen Chong's breath became more and more intense.
But he still didn't realize it, and he still looked at his daughter and sighed in his heart.
It's so cute!
I really want to eat it in one bite...
She!
Um?
Shen Chong's eyes suddenly widened, his pupils contracted violently, and his emotions of fear and self-blame rose in his mind.
His face suddenly turned pale as snow, and cold sweat quickly emerged from both sides of his temples and dripped down his cheeks.
His body trembled wildly, and he pinched his thighs with his hands, exerting force like iron pliers, just trying to dispel the terrible thoughts that had inexplicably risen in his heart.
Am I crazy?
Something strange is thinking about!
Damn it!
Xinxin, who was excited to cut the cake, heard Shen Chong's movement and looked up and was frightened.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Xinxin threw down the knife and was about to run towards Shen Chong.
As his daughter approached, the strange fragrance in Shen Chong's nose suddenly became stronger.
Shen Chong bounced up from the bench and took several steps back.
Chapter completed!
