Not a god

Chapter 223 Let's go!

"Alright, alright, let's go!"

Seeing that the girls had changed their clothes and finished breakfast, Chen Xi urged them to come downstairs like shepherds.

The community has very good landscaping, and there is also a small artificial lake. In the early spring and summer mornings, the birds chirping are always very noisy.

An old man was hitting a tree stump, I don't know what kind of exercise he was practicing. At this time, only the elderly and children on summer vacation were still wandering around.

A little girl, about three years old, saw Chen Yi in the neighborhood and ran over to him, holding a toy that he couldn't identify by its appearance. If Chen Xi wasn't mistaken, it was a toilet seat, although he couldn't understand why anyone would use a toilet seat as a toy.

"Yiyi~"

She ran towards Xiao Chenyi, calling out, "Little Yiyi!"

"Ho!"

Little Chen Yi instantly clicked with the signal, waving her little hand and running over.

This is her friend, unlike Yuki and Shark, she is her first human friend.

When the sun isn't so strong in the evening, the adults have some free time, and many people in the neighborhood will come down to let their kids out. There are about four or five kids of this age playing games in the neighborhood, chattering away, running around with their toys.

Chen Yi was too young, and she had only arrived here last year. At first, she couldn't fit in. The other children were three or four years old and didn't like to play with her, so Yi Yi would dig in the sand by herself.

This little girl is named Cheng Tingle, nicknamed Lele. She was actually the child that Chen Xi rescued from the hands of a Dayun driver on the roadside not long after Jiang Wanwan was 'reborn' last year. After the other child's parents met with Chen Xi again recently, they found out that they lived in the same neighborhood.

Later, they went to thank each other again, and the two little ones became friends.

Besides playing together often, they would occasionally visit each other's homes. The other person lived in unit T4, and Chen Xi's home was in unit T13, separated only by a small garden.

When Chen Yi interacts with people outside, she is a bit mild-mannered and unhurried, while Cheng Tingle is quite straightforward. Although she is only three years old, she is not afraid of people at all and is a free-spirited little girl who is always out in the wind and rain. The two little ones get along very well.

After Lele ran over, she took Chen Yi's two little hands, and then the two little ones looked at each other with affection. It seemed that there were stars and the sea in their eyes, and the stars were shining brightly.

Where is Yiyi going?

"Let's go to the park!"

Where is Youna Garden?

"Yiyi Phuket Island~"

"Yiyi, shall we go play?"

"where to have fun?"

"Shall we make a big bomb and blow up the other kids?"

"Good~"

So, the two little girls, hand in hand, happily set off to make a big bomb... Before her daughter could be kidnapped, Chen Xi grabbed her.

He looked down and patted Lele's head: "Where's your grandpa?"

"They're fighting with the trees over there!"

"Yiyi is going out today. Let's play with Lele when she gets back, okay?"

Where did Yiyi go?

"Let's go to the amusement park."

"Lele wants to go too!"

Chen Xi looked at her and smiled.

I didn't take her with me.

The little girl was crying so loudly.

Chen Xi drove to the shop. The hair salon on the second floor had already moved out, and construction would begin soon to connect the first and second floors and design a staircase. Therefore, the coffee shop was currently closed. Douzi was the only one left in the shop. Seeing that she was all alone, Chen Xi decided to take her along.

Douzi was already waiting at the door, looking like a primary school student going on a school field trip, carrying a huge travel bag stuffed full of snacks. Chen Xi was speechless.
"Put the bag back, there's no need to bring these." "What if you get hungry while you're out playing?"

"If we get hungry, we'll buy food at the scenic area."

“But…” she seemed hesitant.

"I'll pay."

Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Douzi turned around and went back into the store to put down her enormous bag.

A few college students seemed to be passing by. They glanced at the coffee shop with the "Closed" sign and asked curiously, "Boss, are you closed today?"

"Yes, they're renovating these days."

Several college students immediately looked regretful, one of them saying, "What a pity, it's closed down."

"With the Jiangcheng League recently, Tianfu Square is busiest with tourists from all over the country every day. Boss, you actually said you'd start renovations."

Chen Xi smiled calmly and didn't explain further: "You're tourists from out of town, right?"

"Oh, I saw it on Xiaohongshu. It's a must-visit shop when you come to Tianfu Square... They say all the female staff are super pretty, and there's also a very cute white cat. Last year, it even became a little popular because of the most beautiful snowman!"

Chen Xi glanced at the other person's phone and realized that they had only been recommended on Xiaohongshu and weren't particularly famous.

However, Chen Xi has always been rather laid-back about running a coffee shop. These kinds of trendy shops are usually advertised by others, and he doesn't remember ever buying such an advertisement himself.

"And Jiang Li even recommended him!"

Chen Xi understood; it was probably recommended by Ms. Jiang on her social media.

Ms. Jiang is also recovering. After appearing on several popular variety shows, she gained a large number of fans who admire her looks. Now, quite a few people on the street recognize her.

In fact, if Chen Xi were to actually commercialize the business, with the resources he has access to now, it would be an easy task to make such a store a huge hit. However, that would not align with his original intention in opening the store—to enable someone like Jiang Wanwan, a seemingly useless person, to create value for society in some corner of the world.

"You guys came to watch the league and also stopped by Jiangcheng for some fun, right?"

"Yes!"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "The renovation on the second floor will take a little longer. The stairs on the first floor will take about half a month. Let's come again next time."

"Boss, do you know any fun places to go around here?"

Chen Xi casually recommended a few places to them. After waiting for a while, Bai Douzi walked lightly, like a primary school student taking two steps and then jumping one.

Due to the league's influence, Jiangcheng has recently seen a surge in tourists from other places, with crowds thronging everywhere.

Since the appearance of "The Man of Destiny", Jiangcheng Cultural Tourism has not had to do anything, and its performance has continued to rise sharply.

Chen Xi drove and arrived at Sunac around 10 a.m., located in Dujiangyan. The park, which opened last year, has several large exhibition halls and is quite popular. There were many couples and families visiting together. Every attraction was packed with people. However, Chen Xi never liked queuing when she went out, so she bought a VIP ticket.

In crowded places, Yiyi was always being held by her father. She looked around in her father's arms when suddenly a scream came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a flying car in the clouds passing right overhead.

"It's so hot, how come so many people are still out having fun?"

"After all, it's summer vacation now, so it's normal for there to be more people out and about." Chen Xi took a park guide.

The sunlight was too strong, and Jiang Wanwan squinted in the sun, looking like a salted fish. She looked at the noisy crowd in front of her and suddenly said, "Ugh, being surrounded by normal people... it's disgusting."

"Huh? Where are the beans?"

"There's a line over there for free ice cream, so she went to join the line."

"What? Where is it?!"

"promise."

In the sweltering summer heat, staff members dressed in mascot costumes stood in front of a line of elementary school students. The petite Bai Douzi managed to blend in and eagerly awaited her arrival.

Free ice cream? Without further ado, Jiang Wanwan and her best friend rushed over and joined the line behind a group of elementary school students.
