Soon, the girl's mother rushed over.
The young mother's face was pale, her tied-up hair had come undone, but she didn't seem to care. She rushed over, squatted down, and tightly hugged her daughter.
"I'm sorry, Niuniu, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
"Wuwuwu... Mommy, where did you go? I couldn't find you, wuwuwu..."
The girl cried with such grievance and sadness.
The surrounding crowd watched this scene and felt genuinely happy from their hearts, discussing among themselves as they dispersed.
Qin Tian also gave Xia Nuannuan a look, preparing to leave without leaving a name, and slip away with her.
Xia Nuannuan smiled in understanding, took his hand, and the two quietly headed towards the roller coaster.
"Mommy, the handsome brother and pretty sister are leaving."
From behind, the little girl's voice, tinged with a cry, sounded, followed by the young mother's shout.
"You two, wait a moment."
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan looked at each other with helpless smiles, stopping and turning back.
"Thank you, thank you so much."
The young mother led her daughter towards them, her face full of sincere apologies.
"It's just a small thing, no need to thank me!"
Qin Tian smiled and said.
"Sister, next time you come to the amusement park, please keep a close eye on your child, there are too many people."
Xia Nuannuan reminded him with a sweet smile.
The young mother nodded solemnly and said, "I received a work call, and it was just for a moment. When I came back to my senses, I found Niuniu missing. I was scared to death. It's really thanks to you. Let me treat you to a meal to thank you!"
"No need for that, we just arrived and still want to play for a while!"
Xia Nuannuan quickly waved her hand, politely refusing.
"This... then can you leave your phone number? We can talk about it another day when you're free."
"Really, no need."
"Niuniu, from now on, in places like this, you must stay close to Mommy, don't run around, okay?"
Qin Tian looked at the little girl and instructed seriously.
"I know."
Niuniu obediently nodded her head.
"So good, we're leaving now, bye!"
Qin Tian waved goodbye with a smile.
"Bye!"
Niuniu held her mother's hand with one hand and waved goodbye with the other.
Then, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan turned and left.
As for that middle-aged man and his son, they had already left earlier.
There are many wicked spirits in the world, but there are still more good people.
Just like that middle-aged man, his appearance was rough and unrefined, looking like the scary uncle children imagine, but in reality, he was a genuine kind-hearted person.
Having done a good deed, Xia Nuannuan felt even happier, and her enthusiasm for playing increased.
Roller coaster, pendulum, drop tower, bumper cars...
After playing one project after another, with Xia Nuannuan's sweet laughter like a silver bell, Qin Tian helped her take many photos.
The only drawback was the long waiting time, which meant having to queue for half an hour for each ride.
The weather in Jiangcheng was quite cold today, with thick clouds blocking the sunlight, but it couldn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm for visiting.
The entire amusement park was filled with laughter and joy everywhere.
Around five in the afternoon, the heavens sent a "Christmas gift," as small snowflakes began to drift down from the sky, adding a more romantic atmosphere to Christmas.
Xia Nuannuan held Qin Tian's arm with her left hand, spread her right hand towards the sky, feeling the coolness on her palm. She tilted her head and looked up at the sky.
"It's snowing?"
"Yes, it's snowing. It seems we're very lucky. It's a white Christmas!"
Qin Tian said with a smile.
"Hehe... That's great."
Xia Nuannuan's face lit up with a smile, and she hugged his arm tighter.
"Are you cold?"
Qin Tian asked caringly.
"Not cold."
Xia Nuannuan shook her head vigorously.
"Do you want to play more?"
"There are more and more people, and the queues are too long. You don't like roller coasters anyway, so let's forget it. I've had a great time today. Let's go."
"Then let's find a mall to eat something, watch a movie, and then go back to school?"
"Okay, let's go!"
...
...
After the romantic white Christmas, the two mothers returned to Yucheng.
Before leaving, Qin Tian was also pulled aside by his mother for a chat. She sternly warned him not to do anything that would betray her darling daughter-in-law, and that girl named Lu Yaoyao also needed to find an opportunity to dissuade her.
Qin Tian naturally agreed with a proper attitude.
After the first rain and snow of 2012, the temperature in Jiangcheng dropped even lower.
Moreover, with the end of the semester approaching, most courses had concluded, and students began to become more homebodies, staying in their dorms unless they had something important to do.
They would read and review in their warm beds, preparing for final exams, and if they got tired, they would come down to play a few games to relax. Their lives were quite comfortable.
December 31st, the last day of the Gregorian calendar year.
Under the warm air of the air conditioner, the four of them were doing their own things.
Chen Zhuang was playing duo queue with a girl, happily losing points with Shen Siqi.
Cao Mingliang was leaning against his bed, talking on the phone, shaking his feet in socks with his legs crossed, and had a silly smile on his face, flirting with some girl.
In the innermost bunk, Zhuang Zhe was engrossed in his studies, quietly reviewing and preparing for exams.
As for Qin Tian, he was standing outside the dorm, resting his arms on the railing, smoking a cigarette he got from Cao Mingliang, his thoughts drifting.
The first year after his rebirth was coming to an end.
The people and things around him had undergone earth-shattering changes. The memories in his mind from his previous life seemed to be gradually replaced with the passage of time, becoming increasingly blurred.
If it weren't for the fact that the system still existed, he might have started to think that those memories from his previous life were just a very long, long dream?
Or perhaps, everything that had happened after his rebirth was the dream?
If everything now was a dream, he would rather never wake up.
After finishing the first cigarette of his rebirth, Qin Tian put out the cigarette butt, turned, and threw it into the trash can by the dorm entrance.
He looked up at the overcast sky again, rubbed his slightly cold hands, slowly exhaled a breath of mist, turned, and pushed the door open to enter the warm dorm.
Cao Mingliang had just finished his call. Seeing him enter, he took out the cigarette box from under his pillow and waved it at him.
"Brother Tian, when did you start smoking? Do you want another one?"
"Thanks, no need!"
Qin Tian smiled and shook his head, refusing, and said, "That was the first one, and it will be the last one."
Cao Mingliang was stunned for a moment, put the cigarette in his mouth, and said with a suspicious expression, "Why do you seem a little strange today?"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"You're overthinking it. Let's not talk about this. Who were you hitting on just now?"
Qin Tian smiled and changed the subject.
"Hehe... A girl from the music academy, she sings beautifully."
Cao Mingliang grinned slyly and raised an eyebrow.
"Good heavens, have you expanded your fishing pond to other schools?"
Qin Tian exclaimed in surprise.
"No, no, it's just a few."
Cao Mingliang waved his hand and smiled humbly.
"Are you really planning to go on like this?"
Qin Tian said seriously.
Cao Mingliang pondered for a moment, then grinned and said, "Anyway, I've figured it out. With my looks and height, I don't expect to easily find love like you and Xia Nuannuan. So, I can't be single forever, right? Before that, I won't seriously date anyone again."
Qin Tian nodded slightly and said nothing more, walking towards his desk.
"Anyway, you be careful, don't really go up to the rooftop."
"Uh... not to that extent, not to that extent."
