Chapter 1093: Shanshan Side Story (20) Chapter 1093: Shanshan Side Story (20) “The one who knows me best is my beautiful mommy,” Shanshan said sweetly.

Jian Qing laughed lightly, “Why is it so quiet in the room? Where are the other classmates?”

“They’ve gone out to play and haven’t come back yet,” Shanshan replied.

“Why didn’t you go with them?” Jingwu, the father doting on his little princess, instantly worried, “Is there something you’re not used to?”

“Daddy, there’s nothing I’m not used to. I went out for a walk to find something to eat, and by the time I got back, it was too late to join the gathering. Plus, I walked around for so long that my feet got sore, so I came back to rest,” Shanshan reassured him.

Hearing this, Quan Jingwu was relieved.

After chatting with Shanshan for a while, the couple hung up the phone.

Shanshan lay on the bed, looking at the moon outside the window, and felt even worse.

Stupid Mu Chen, mean Mu Chen.

He’s never available whenever she asked him to play.

He must have made new friends here, so he’s been ignoring her.

Yes, that must be it. It seems like the other students at the school do that too.

Thinking this, Shanshan, the little girl, felt even more upset.

She instinctively reached out her hand to the side, then suddenly remembered she wasn’t at home and didn’t have her Teddy bear.

Without her Teddy bear, she could still sleep.

She pulled the blanket over herself, turned off the light, and lay down to sleep.

Sometime later, she pulled down the blanket and looked at the cellphone beside her, her lips pursing.

So long without giving her a call, stupid Mu Chen, she hated him the most.

That night, for the first time in her life, little Shanshan couldn’t fall asleep.

It wasn’t until the sky was about to lighten that she began to feel a bit sleepy.

Luckily, the group activity wasn’t starting until nine o’clock, so she seized the time to catch up on sleep.

When it was time to gather, she arrived late.

“Sorry for keeping you all waiting.”

“No problem, now that everyone is here, let’s get going,” said the leading teacher.

Shanshan leisurely followed at the back; other students all had companions, and she was the only one alone, but for her, this was also comfortably relaxing.

The first destination for today’s activity was to visit the local museum; the teacher had already taken care of buying the tickets and, after a few reminders, let everyone explore the museum and asked them to meet back at the front entrance in two hours.

Having not slept well due to insomnia the night before, Shanshan just couldn’t muster up the energy.

She wandered through the museum at a leisurely pace until she found a bench to sit and rest.

Shanshan pulled down the brim of her hat, then took out her cellphone to scroll through games.

“Shanshan!”

A crisp voice came from beside her, tinged with a bit of anxiety.

It was Mu Chen’s voice.

Shanshan’s head shot up, and seeing the newcomer, her heart lifted, but remembering the incident in the restaurant last night, her smile faded and she lowered her head back to her game.

Mu Chen squatted in front of her and took her hand, “Shanshan.”

“What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be in class and too busy?” Shanshan asked without looking up, her voice calm but still revealing her pique.

“What would I do if you ignored me because I didn’t come?” Mu Chen chuckled softly, his voice tender, “What, are you still mad at me?”

When she was mad at him, he couldn’t concentrate on anything else. He had lied early in the morning, saying he was sick to get out of class, with Del covering for him at home. Only then could he sneak out to find her.

Shanshan didn’t pull away from his hand, but with her head lowered, she spoke in a sullen tone, “Every time I ask you to come play, you say you’re busy, and when I try to come to you, you also say no. Every time, you just say sorry, and I hate those three words the most.”

Her voice was soft and full of grievance.

Mu Chen’s heart softened as he held her hand tightly, “Then I won’t say ‘sorry’ to you anymore, is that okay? Don’t be mad at me.”

“Really?” Shanshan finally lifted her little head, eyeing him with suspicion, “Then can you come to Beijing to play with me? Or I can come to visit you.”

“I will come to Beijing to see you soon,” Mu Chen promised.

“Really?” Shanshan’s eyes lit up.

Mu Chen nodded and gently pinched her cheek, “Not mad at me anymore?”

“Who said that.” Shanshan huffed and then pointed at her eyes, complaining, “Look, I couldn’t sleep last night, and now I have dark circles under my eyes.”

Mu Chen laughed softly, “That’s not bad, you look like a little panda.”

Shanshan turned her head away with a humph.

“Alright, don’t be mad, I’ll take you to eat something delicious.” Mu Chen stood up, reaching out his hand with an indulgent smile on his lips.

“Well, okay, I’ll forgive you this time, generous as I am.” Shanshan’s smile returned to her face, placing her fair little hand in his.

Mu Chen tightened his grip on her hand and pulled her to her feet.

“Mu Chen, there’s an ice cream shop across the street, I want some,” Shanshan said, bouncing happily next to Mu Chen, as they weaved through the bustling streets together.

Mu Chen wrapped one arm around her, keeping her close to protect her from the bustling crowd.

“Alright, I’ll go buy it for you.”

He positioned her under the shade of a tree to avoid the scorching sun while he queued up to buy her ice cream.

Soon, Mu Chen came back with the ice cream.

“Just have a little, don’t eat it all, it’s too cold,” he advised gently.

Shanshan nodded, her eyes curving happily as she ate the ice cream.

“Mu Chen, it’s really good, try some.”

She scooped up a spoonful of ice cream and offered it to his mouth.

Mu Chen opened his mouth to eat it, a rare smile gracing his brows.

“What else do you want to do?”

After pondering for a moment, a sly spark danced in Shanshan’s eyes, “Haunted house.”

She had heard her brothers talk about this place before; it sounded really fun, and she wanted to try it as well.

Mu Chen wasn’t particularly afraid of haunted houses, but he was concerned about her, “Aren’t you scared?”

“Why would I be scared with you here?” Shanshan said while eating her ice cream, speaking without any guard.

Without realizing it, she uttered words that could stir hearts, yet the speaker herself never noticed that her full-score romantic lines were deeply inherited from Quan Jingwu’s excellent genes.

Mu Chen’s thin lips curved into a perfect arc, pulling out a tissue to wipe the ice cream from the corners of her mouth.

Just as Shanshan wished, Mu Chen took her to the amusement park’s haunted house.

From the initial calm to the end, Shanshan’s entire journey through the haunted house was punctuated with screams.

“Shanshan, are you okay?” Mu Chen said with a helpless smile as he looked at the person clinging to him.

Being scared yet still insisting on coming, he really was at a loss with her.

Shanshan hung on his back, her arms wrapped around his neck; she lifted her head, her delicate little face somewhat pale from fright.

She hopped off of Mu Chen’s back, her legs feeling a bit wobbly.

“I’m fine.”

Mu Chen quickly steadied her and asked with concern, “Are you really okay?”

Shanshan shook her head, her expression dull as she said, “I’m fine.”

Mu Chen helped her to a bench nearby and pulled out a piece of candy from his pocket. He unwrapped it and placed it in her mouth.

The sweet taste of the candy spread in her mouth, and Shanshan gradually came to her senses.
