In the end, only little Li Tong could drive a small bumper car by himself, while Song Jiaye took Li Qiyu, the “big kid”, in another one.
Song Jiaye sat in the driver's seat. While dodging the cars ramming from all directions, he asked, “Li Xiyu, you said you're from another time. Is that true?”
Li Qiyu had been focused on the on - coming bumper cars. Hearing Song Jiaye's question, she was stunned for a moment and replied, “Do you think you'll believe me?”
Song Jiaye thought for a while and said, “I'll believe you if you tell the truth.”
“What if I say everything I've said is true? Will you believe me?”
“I will.”
With Song Jiaye's approval, Li Qiyu nodded and said, “Yes, I'm a time - traveler. I'm from ancient times.”
Song Jiaye: “... You're serious?”
Li Qiyu shrugged. She was already used to Song Jiaye's reaction. She knew he didn't believe her, and to be honest, she felt a bit regretful.
Although at first after time - traveling, due to the Song Jiaye from ancient times, she really hated the Song Jiaye in front of her, after getting along with him, she found that this Song Jiaye was a completely different person from the one in ancient times. She truly regarded him as a friend.
You know, it was really not easy for her to consider him a friend while still disliking his face.
Just like her relationship with Ming Yuexuan, Li Qiyu never hid or lied to Song Jiaye. But unfortunately, Song Jiaye always thought the things that happened to her were too fantastic and was reluctant to face them openly.
Li Qiyu remembered that Ming Yuexuan had once advised her not to tell everyone that she was a time - traveler, because many people couldn't accept this fact, and talking about it too much would only make people think she was crazy.
Li Qiyu let out a long sigh and forced a smile, “I'm kidding. You actually believed me.”
Since Song Jiaye didn't want to believe her, she might as well give him the answer he wanted to hear. Anyway, she and Song Jiaye would soon part ways, and maybe they would never have anything to do with each other again. So why bother dwelling on these things?
Actually, when Li Qiyu first said she was a time - traveler, looking so confident, Song Jiaye really believed her. He even started thinking about whether there were any research institutes studying time - travel. He planned to go and ask about the trigger and how it all worked.
But then Li Qiyu changed her story and said it was all fake, which left Song Jiaye confused.
However, he didn't have much time to think because Li Tong was ramming his car towards them. Song Jiaye quickly dodged. His maneuvers were smooth and fluid. Li Qiyu just cheered him on from the side, having a great time.
When the three of them came out of the amusement park, they were all sweating. Song Jiaye's once - neat suit was all wrinkled. Xiao Wu had been waiting for them in the parking lot. The air - conditioner was already on in the car. As soon as they got in, Li Tong was still very excited and said he wanted to come and play bumper cars again next time.
Li Qiyu also unexpectedly became interested in driving. She asked Song Jiaye, “Can you teach me how to drive?”
Song Jiaye replied immediately, “If you want to learn how to drive, I can sign you up for a driving school and find a professional instructor for you.”
Although she already had a driver's license, judging from the fact that she seemed to have forgotten everything, it would be better to teach her from scratch.
Li Qiyu nodded and said, “Okay. Once I learn, I can play bumper cars.”
Song Jiaye: “... Forget it. You'd better not learn.”
“Why?”
“I'm afraid someone will get killed.”
He finally understood why Li Qiyu suddenly wanted to learn how to drive. It turned out she was addicted to bumper cars!
She definitely couldn't be allowed to learn how to drive. If she did, it would be a disaster. Damaging the car would be a minor issue, but hitting someone would be no joke.
Li Qiyu just said “oh”.
The main reason she wanted to learn how to drive was actually because of Song Jiaye. The drifts Song Jiaye made while playing bumper cars really made her heart race. In fact, once Song Jiaye said he would find someone else to teach her, her interest faded.
After all, no one else drove as cool as he did.
Take Xiao Wu for example. He always drove steadily. Not only had he never done a drift, but he had never even turned the steering wheel sharply.
That was so uncool. She didn't want to learn from someone like that.
After getting home, Li Tong called his father as usual to report what he had gained that day to his grandparents, parents.
He said excitedly that he had been to the amusement park, and it was his big aunt and uncle who had taken him there.
Hearing that Song Jiaye and Li Qiyu had gone together, Father Li's eyes narrowed into slits.
“Your big aunt and uncle took you to the amusement park! Good, that's great.”
Every time Li Tong called, Father Li would answer on speakerphone so that the whole family could hear his voice. So Jiang Yongfeng heard everything Li Tong said. She smiled and said, “Tongtong, you must be obedient at your big aunt's house. Don't cause trouble for your big aunt, or she won't like you.”
Father Li glared at her and said, “Why are you saying these things to a kid? How could his big aunt not like him?”
Jiang Yongfeng nervously rubbed her hands, looking like a simple - minded middle - aged woman.
“Look at my memory. I thought Xiyu was still the way she used to be. I forgot that she has amnesia now.”
Father Li hung up the phone. He felt a headache just hearing Jiang Yongfeng mention what Li Xiyu was like before.
On the one hand, of course, he hoped his daughter would regain her memory and return to normal as soon as possible.
On the other hand, he was also afraid that his daughter would regain her memory and turn back into that hysterical and uncommunicative person. That would really be a headache.
Jiang Yongfeng helped him back to the room. As they walked, she carefully probed, “Xiangping, do you think Song Jiaye and Xiyu can reconcile?”
Father Li sighed, “Judging from what Xiaotong said, it seems that their relationship has improved a lot. But it's hard to say. You're right. Xiyu's current state is only temporary. If she turns back into the way she was before, not only Song Jiaye but maybe even we won't be able to stand it.”
“These two kids really have a complicated relationship.”
“Who says it isn't? When Xiyu was in school, I knew there was a kid named Song Jiaye. Xiyu liked him. At that time, I thought it was just a fling for her, and we could talk about it after she graduated from college. Who knew that just after Xiyu graduated from college, I heard rumors from the Song family and thought Song Jiaye was the grandson of Old Master Song.”
Jiang Yongfeng smiled and said, “Xiangping, I was really shocked when you told me this back then. I watched Song Jiaye grow up. If he were really Old Master Song's child, he wouldn't have ended up like this.”
“Alas, it's all my fault for believing rumors so easily.”
“So, sir, what do you think of their marriage now?”
