The school beauty is aloof? Whatever, she has a younger sister.

Chapter 169 This thing is really fun
After leaving Liu Wuyang's house, Zhang Muchen took Chu Youting to a nearby shopping mall.

Zhang Muchen's planned time alone was disrupted by the sudden visit of Liu Wuyang's parents, and Xiaoyouzi had specially asked her sister for a day off, so she naturally couldn't let this day go to waste.

He quickly considered several places in his mind: game store, movie theater, ice rink, themed hotel...

*cough cough* (serious face).

After some consideration, we found that, apart from the somewhat questionable themed hotel option, the mall offered almost all the other entertainment options we could need. Plus, the mall provided a one-stop shop for food, drinks, and entertainment, so we could easily find a restaurant to grab a bite to eat when we got hungry at lunchtime.

The two entered the mall lobby one after the other through the revolving door. The moment the glass door completed a full rotation, a scent mixed with perfume and cosmetics wafted out.

Basically, the first floor of every shopping mall is equipped with cosmetics and perfumes of various brands, and further inside are the storefronts of gold shops and mobile phone shops.

The central area is usually filled with displays of new energy vehicles, and sometimes even BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi).

Zhang Muchen and Chu Youting walked through these places, only glancing at them briefly without stopping.

For the two high school students, this floor offered almost no consumer rights other than desserts.

When passing by a milk tea shop, Zhang Muchen ordered a hot milk tea for Xiaoyouzi.

Before long, Chu Youting took the warm milk tea with both hands and gently held it in her palms.

Her small face was close to the rim of the cup, feeling the warmth transmitted through the cup wall.

My fingertips, which were just a little chilly from the cold wind outside, are gradually warming up.

"Thank you," Chu Youting said softly, raising her eyes slightly.

"Okay, let's go to the second floor." Zhang Muchen patted the top of her head.

The two slowly ascended the escalator, and after only a few steps onto the second floor, they heard a series of "whooshing" electronic horns.

A brightly colored toy train slowly passed by, its carriages lined up one after another, each painted with various children's patterns.

Several parents with children were sitting on the miniature train, pointing and gesturing at the stores they passed.

Zhang Muchen glanced at it but didn't pay it any mind, and continued walking forward.

But after taking a few steps, he realized that Chu Youting beside him had not followed.

He turned around and saw that Xiaoyouzi was still standing there, holding the milk tea in both hands.

The girl tilted her head slightly, her eyes following the little train that was slowly moving ahead, her eyes sparkling.

Zhang Muchen was taken aback, not expecting the little train to have such a great appeal to the locals.

“Let’s go, take the little train.” He said without hesitation, pointing to the ticket booth for the little train parked ahead.

"Is...is it okay?" Chu Youting stammered, looking up with wide eyes.

Although she desperately wanted to sit on it, she was also a little afraid of appearing too childish.

However, Zhang Muchen smiled easily and said, "Of course, I'd like to sit too."

After saying that, he walked forward, turning back to wave at her: "Hurry up, or the next bus will leave."

The two quickly arrived at the train stop, where the driver, dressed in uniform, was leaning against the seat, waiting for the next batch of passengers.

“Let’s take the little train,” Zhang Muchen said.

The middle-aged man who was waiting on the side looked up and his gaze fell on the young couple in front of him. He was slightly taken aback.

You two look like you're almost adults, right? And you're still riding the little train?
However, that slight surprise was only momentary, and the middle-aged man quickly regained his professional expression. After all, he had even seen seventy-year-old women riding miniature trains with their husbands, so two high school students coming on a date and taking a ride was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Twenty for two people," the uncle said calmly.

"It's scanned." Zhang Muchen held up his phone, the screen displaying the payment success message.

The middle-aged man glanced at it, nodded, and pointed to one of the empty carriages: "Get on, we're leaving soon."

Chu Youting carefully stepped onto the carriage step with her milk tea in her hands, and Zhang Muchen followed closely behind, plopping down next to her.

The little train was quite crowded, with parents with children sitting in the carriages before and after. This caused Chu Youting to become somewhat reserved as soon as she boarded, her eyes lowered and her hands folded on her knees. She felt that the passengers behind her were all scrutinizing them.

"Relax, no one said high school students can't ride the miniature train," Zhang Muchen said softly, turning his head to comfort her.

"But...but the bus is full of parents with children, and I...I feel a little...a little embarrassed sitting here..." Chu Youting said softly.

“It’s okay, you can think of me as a parent.” Zhang Muchen looked at Chu Youting seriously. “If you call me Dad, it will make perfect sense immediately.”

what?
Chu Youting was taken aback, and her face instantly turned red.

This... isn't this even more shameful?
And...and the word "father" isn't always...

Her eyes darted around, her head grew hotter and hotter, and her thoughts began to drift uncontrollably in strange directions: Was she shouting in bed...?

Xiao Youzi secretly glanced at Zhang Muchen beside her, her ears turning slightly red.

If Wang Shishi knew what she was thinking, she would definitely give her a thumbs up on the spot.

However, Zhang Muchen, who was standing to the side, had no idea what she was imagining. He just found it a little funny to see her blushing and flushed face.

This little pomelo's reaction is so cute!

The electronic whistle blared as the little train slowly made its way up the second floor of the shopping mall.

A few minutes later, Chu Youting gradually relaxed from her initial restraint.

She sat quietly in the carriage, holding her milk tea in both hands, her body swaying slightly with the train. Her rosy lips gently nibbled on the straw, occasionally slurping up a mouthful of milk tea with taro paste and boba, the sweet aroma bursting on her taste buds.

The girl's eyes were gentle, and her gaze was filled with contentment.

Before long, the little train slowly circled the second floor of the mall.

The second floor is mostly occupied by children's clothing brands, with a few lifestyle stores like Miniso also mixed in.

However, in the area with the highest concentration of people, there is a special place – the arcade.

When the little train stopped, Zhang Muchen led Chu Youting directly towards the arcade.

The inside was brightly colored. Many people were gathered around the fighting arcade machines and claw machines.

There were also a few rocking cars at the entrance—the kind of classic childhood toys that are like the one with the question "What is Daddy's dad called?"

Zhang Muchen bought some game tokens at the self-service machine, intending to take Xiaoyouzi straight to the claw machine. But when he turned around, he saw the girl standing at the door, her gaze fixed on the rocking cars.

Zhang Muchen raised an eyebrow.

Good, good, little pomelo, you have such a childlike heart.

Cute.

He walked over and put a few game tokens in her hand: "Go ahead and play."

Chu Youting raised her eyes, which were bright.

After a moment's hesitation, she whispered, "You come too."

"Huh?" Zhang Muchen was taken aback.

I?
Me too?
He looked down at the rocking horse—it was shaped like a My Little Pony, with a label next to it that said "Suitable for ages 3-6".

Me, a big guy who's 1.85 meters tall, sitting in this?

Are you kidding me?
One minute later.

Under the colorful lights of the arcade, the My Little Pony rocking horse swayed back and forth.

Chu Youting's smile was soft and sweet, and Zhang Muchen, standing beside her, also grinned as he swayed.
