Chapter 19

Huo Run retracted his hand slowly. Did Jiang Xinyuan despise him?

Jiang Xinyuan thought about it and finally explained, “I don’t like to get too close to people.”

Huo Run came back to his senses. That meant he did not despise him. Since Jiang Xinyuan had already said so, he did not get any closer. He stuck out his little head and asked in a low voice, “Does your mother not allow you to eat snacks? Is she very strict? It’s okay. She’s asleep. We’ll eat secretly.”

Jiang Xinyuan shook his head. “My mother treats me very well. She’s not strict at all! She even brought me to eat a family bucket meal yesterday. There was fried chicken and Coke, but I didn’t want them.”

“How can there be a child who doesn’t like snacks? I see that other children like to eat them too. When their mothers don’t allow them to eat, they cry.” After Huo Run finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added, “But I never cry because my mother lets me eat them! Although I have to eat them secretly sometimes, my mother won’t be angry even if she finds out.”

[Is he trying to maintain his dignity in front of his new friend? Hahaha, he already has the burden of an idol at such a young age?]

[When Little Jelly retreated just now, I felt sorry for Huo Run.]

[Huo Run looked very lonely just now. He really felt wronged.]

[Little Jelly is so obedient. How can there be a child who doesn’t like snacks? I think Fu Xin is too strict with him!]

[I’m just saying, even if you want to mock someone, you don’t have to be so tactless, right? Little Jelly just said that he doesn’t like snacks!]

[That’s right. I saw yesterday’s live broadcast too. It was Little Jelly who said that fried chicken isn’t nutritious!]

[Most importantly, Fu Xin is the one who enjoys eating fried chicken the most…]

Huo Run swayed and sat on the chair opposite Jiang Xinyuan. He tore open the packaging and chatted with Jiang Xinyuan as he ate the biscuits. He gave up the joy of sharing snacks. Jiang Xinyuan did not like them, after all. “My name is Huo Run. What’s yours?”

“Jiang Xinyuan.”

Huo Run smiled innocently. “You’re five this year, aren’t you? Actually, I already knew it!”

This was because when the guests were decided, Guo Na had already introduced Huo Run to the others. Unlike the other groups of guests, their family was currently short of money. The opportunity now was simply timely. Naturally, they wanted to perform well and strive to attain more popularity so that they could earn more money when the time came.

However, Guo Na only introduced him to the guests and didn’t tell him about their family affairs. She still hoped he could have a good time on this show.

Huo Run could tell that Jiang Xinyuan was not a talkative person. He continued, “I’m six years old this year, so you have to call me ‘Brother.’”

But before Jiang Xinyuan could reply, he said, “But it’s fine if you don’t call me that. You can just call me Lil Run. Do you have a nickname?”

“I’m sorry I’m late.” A refreshing, mature voice came from outside the bus, interrupting Huo Run’s awkward conversation.

A stylishly dressed woman got on the bus. Seeing Fu Xin sleeping with an eye mask on, she smiled and said, “Oh, someone’s catching up on their sleep in the bus?”

Huo Run frowned. He did not know why this aunt was so loud. However, she could not be blamed. She was born with a loud voice.

“Mom, I want to sit by the window…” Feng Jun looked at the situation in the car and then looked at Huo Run, who was sitting alone. “Are you sitting separately from your mom?”

Huo Run shook his head and ran back to Guo Na with the biscuits in his arms.

“So, I’ll sit here with my mother, then?” Feng Jun continued to seek Huo Run’s opinion. In his opinion, Huo Run came first.

Huo Run nodded. Perhaps it was because the other party was too outgoing, he could not handle it. He leaned against Guo Na and remained silent.

If Huo Run was pretending to be extroverted, then Feng Jun was pretending to be super extroverted.

After Zhang Nan and Feng Jun sat down, a little girl in a lotus dress climbed onto the bus.

“Sister Ruirui, why don’t you sit behind us?” Feng Jun stretched his neck and greeted her. Even though they had only traveled together for a while on the way out of the airport, Feng Jun felt that he was already very familiar with Bai Ruirui.

Bai Ruirui did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked at Chen Xiaomei, who was following behind her. “Mom, are we going to sit behind Brother Feng Jun?”

“Whatever.” Chen Xiaomei didn’t even look at her.

Bai Ruirui only sat down after receiving permission.

After Chen Xiaomei walked up, her gaze followed Fu Xin and paused on Jiang Xinyuan.

After Chen Xiaomei and her daughter sat down, Zhang Nan saw Bai Ruirui sizing up Jiang Xinyuan from time to time. She could not help but tease, “Ruirui, do you like that little boy so much?”
