"Dad's right. I should study hard and master traditional Chinese medicine thoroughly with Grandpa Sun. When I grow up, I'll become a doctor and show everyone how capable I am!"
Miaomiao clenched her fists and raised her head high. Her passionate look really made Lin Yao laugh.
It seemed that Miaomiao had a clearer goal in life.
After staying in the steam room for a while, the father - daughter duo went to the buffet restaurant for dinner. Just as they finished their dinner, Yao Mingxuan also got off work and rushed over to find Miaomiao.
After meeting Miaomiao, Yao Mingxuan immediately sent a message to Cheng Ruan to tell her that Miaomiao was here. So before long, Cheng Ruan also rushed to the resort hot spring in a hurry.
Seeing the three kids getting together, Lin Yao sighed helplessly. Kids might have more topics with each other. Seeing them so happy together, Lin Yao didn't want to disturb them. He just gave a few hasty instructions and left on the pretext of having something to do, leaving some space for the three kids.
His plan to have a wonderful parent - child time with Miaomiao was foiled again. What bad luck!
Lin Yao's departure didn't draw the kids' attention. Even Miaomiao just waved casually to say goodbye to her father.
The three kids were together, and only Wei Ziqi was missing. Hearing that Wei Ziqi would be back in about half a month, Yao Mingxuan felt a little disappointed.
It didn't matter, though. The core of their inseparable relationship was Miaomiao. Otherwise, they wouldn't have any interaction. As long as Miaomiao was back, it didn't matter if Wei Ziqi came back a bit later.
It was a weekend, and they didn't need to go to school the next day. Yao Mingxuan and Cheng Ruan also cancelled all their schedules for the next day.
Miaomiao and Yao Mingxuan, who had been at the resort hot spring for a long time, thought there was nothing more to do there. They thought it would be better to go out for food and drinks.
Miaomiao had just finished dinner and wasn't feeling hungry yet. To digest the food in her stomach, she dragged her two hungry friends down the mountain on foot.
When they started to feel a bit hungry, they took a taxi to a restaurant.
When they arrived at the fragrant barbecue restaurant, Yao Mingxuan and Cheng Ruan were starving. As soon as the food was on the table, they didn't even bother to talk and just started to eat.
What should have been a pleasant dinner with chatting turned into just eating because of Miaomiao's arrangement.
The way the three kids ate silently was out of place with the lively atmosphere of other tables where people were clinking glasses and chatting merrily. They became a unique and eye - catching sight in the barbecue restaurant.
Finally, after they were full, Yao Mingxuan and Cheng Ruan had the energy to talk.
"Miaomiao, I'll take you to a fun place later!" Cheng Ruan put down her chopsticks, her eyes shining with excitement.
"Where?"
In line with the principle of not wasting food, Miaomiao stuffed the remaining barbecue on the table into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed out like a little hamster's as she asked while eating.
"You'll know when we get there. Yao Mingxuan, are you going?"
"Do you think you two can go out without me? That's too much. Of course I'm going!"
Yao Mingxuan rolled his eyes, thinking that Cheng Ruan's question was completely redundant.
After Miaomiao finished the last bit of food on the table, Cheng Ruan took her two friends and hailed a taxi to their unknown destination.
When the taxi stopped, the three kids stood in front of a magnificent - looking building, stunned.
Yao Mingxuan was shocked, and Miaomiao was just dazed.
"If I'm not mistaken, the sign says 'KTV'?"
Yao Mingxuan pointed at the sign above their heads and asked blankly, unable to believe that Cheng Ruan had brought them here.
"Yeah, you're right! We've never been here to play before."
Cheng Ruan replied confidently. Miaomiao was still in a daze because she had no idea what kind of place this was.
"Sis, can you please learn to do something good? This is not a place for a 14 - year - old kid like you to come to!" Yao Mingxuan was speechless and roared.
"What do you mean I'm not doing good? Don't worry. This is my family's business. It's clean. There are no shady people in there. And I'll definitely behave myself on my own family's territory."
Cheng Ruan thought Yao Mingxuan was overreacting. She would never take Miaomiao to any shady places. If this KTV weren't her family's business, she wouldn't have come either.
"Fine. Since it's your family's business, going there is like going home. But why do we have to go today? Lao Wei has never been to this kind of place either. Why can't we wait until he comes back and go together?"
Yao Mingxuan thought of his good friend. It always felt something was missing when one person was absent.
"Do you think I don't want to? But think about it. Even if this is my family's business, Wei Ziqi, that stubborn guy, won't agree with me taking Miaomiao here. Then Miaomiao will never get to experience the fun of this kind of place in her life!"
Cheng Ruan was extremely speechless. Wei Ziqi protected Miaomiao like a mother hen protecting her chicks. People who didn't know might think Wei Ziqi was Miaomiao's mother. How could he agree to Miaomiao coming here with them?
"You're right. I've never been to this kind of place before. Since that's the case, let's go in quickly!" Yao Mingxuan thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Inviting his good friend would only spoil the fun, so it was better not to.
"Okay!"
When they walked into the magnificent - looking KTV, Cheng Ruan showed her VIP card, which she had borrowed from her mother, to the receptionist. If she hadn't told her mother that she was going to receive Miaomiao, who she hadn't seen for a long time, her mother wouldn't have given her the card to come to this kind of place.
When the receptionist saw the VIP card, the smile on her face became even brighter. She led the three kids to a huge private room.
The private room was completely dark, in sharp contrast to the flashing lights outside. Along the way, they heard countless off - key songs. Miaomiao roughly understood what kind of place this was.
Sitting on the big and soft sofa, Miaomiao waited obediently for the fun things Cheng Ruan had mentioned.
Instead of the fun things, a table full of fruits arrived.
"Didn't we just finish dinner? Do we have to eat again?" Miaomiao looked at the table full of fruits and asked in confusion.
"Eat what? These are just decorations. We come here to experience the feeling of singing heartily in a dark private room! Miaomiao, what songs do you know? Pick one, and I'll play the accompaniment for you."
After saying that, Cheng Ruan stuffed the microphone in her hand into Miaomiao's arms.
Sing?
Was it time for a performance?
Although Miaomiao was full of doubts, she still named a song she had heard before.
