Chapter 343: Chapter 343: The Strange Family_1
After a few days of hectic preparation at the new company, Su Yueru finally found time to spend with Little Ye this weekend.
Little Ye was very happy, and Ye Fei was of course especially delighted.
So, the next morning, the family of three came to the Greenery Zoo and Botanical Garden on the outskirts of the city.
Greenery is the largest zoo and botanical garden across the three southeastern provinces, and since it was the weekend, there were a lot of visitors.
Little Ye was incredibly excited, jumping up and down as soon as she got off the car.
"Oh! Look at the elephants! I can finally see the adorable elephants!"
Touching her daughter’s head, Su Yueru said, "I heard there’s an elephant acrobatics show today! Are you excited, baby?"
"Excited! Haha! I can finally see the elephants perform acrobats!"
Little Ye dashed to the ticket check, but because she was running too fast, she accidentally knocked over a boy a few years older than her.
"Sorry, brother."
Little Ye bowed and apologized immediately.
Ye Fei also caught up to offer his apologies.
"The little girl is too excited, I’m really sorry."
Strangely, the little boy didn’t say anything and just got up and walked away.
The boy’s parents also just mechanically smiled at Ye Fei and turned to go through the checking entrance.
As if they were in a hurry.
The family looked indifferent and aloof.
But Ye Fei, who was very perceptive, sensed something odd about them.
So he took silent note of it.
Once inside the park, Little Ye’s excitement nerve was activated again.
She was ecstatic about something.
"Oh wow! So beautiful! So much fun! Mom, come quick, I want to take a picture with Peppa!"
Su Yueru hadn’t been as happy as today for a long time, posing for various photos with her daughter.
Ye Fei, naturally, had become the laborer for his wife and child.
But he was enjoying it.
Afterward, the family of three rented an electric shuttle car and began to have fun around the zoo and botanical garden.
After watching the giraffes they saw tigers, and after the tigers, they watched monkeys.
There are always many strange questions from children.
"Daddy, daddy, why is the giraffe’s neck so long?"
"Daddy, daddy, why is there a ’king’ character on the tiger’s forehead?"
"Huh? Daddy! What’s that piece of flesh under the little monkey?"
Ye Fei was speechless.
He finally understood.
Taking a child out to play wasn’t the most tiring part; the most exhausting part was answering all kinds of fanciful questions.
Continuing to explore deeper into the park, they came upon an open area where a temporary performance stage had been set up. The arena was filled with noise from the enthusiastic crowd and bursts of cheers and applause.
A tall billboard stood at the entrance of the field, reading "Elephant Acrobatics Show."
Seeing the sign, Little Ye immediately started to scream.
"Daddy, I want to watch the elephant acrobatics! I want to watch!"
"Okay, okay. Mom and dad will take you to see it now."
Ye Fei parked the shuttle car, bought tickets, and then the three of them entered the spectator area of the venue.
"Daddy, look, isn’t that the brother and his uncle and aunt from before?"
Turning his head, Ye Fei saw it was indeed the very family they had encountered at the ticket check.
They were sitting not far ahead to the left.
That family of three clearly also saw Ye Fei and his family.
And they seemed to be glancing over here intentionally or unintentionally.
Their behavior was a bit peculiar.
"Hmm? Something’s not right!"
Ye Fei frowned slightly and became more vigilant.
The splendid elephant performance began, and Su Yueru and Little Ye were quickly engrossed in it.
But Ye Fei’s attention was not on the performance.
Because apart from that odd-looking family of three,
Ye Fei also noticed a familiar presence that had been following them in the shadows all along.
"Finally escaped and instead of cherishing freedom, you come back to bother me again. A Si, why bother?"
Ye Fei’s lips curled up in a smile.
If it were in the past, he might not have been able to sense such a covert presence.
But now, having fully mastered the Heart Seeking Technique, his awareness of the surroundings was altogether on a different level.
Even if that presence always maintained a distance of around a hundred meters deliberately,
even if the distance was extended to over a kilometer, it would still not escape Ye Fei’s perception.
The reason he hadn’t acted until now was that he hadn’t detected any hostility or murderous intent from A Si.
So Ye Fei decided to wait and see, to observe what the other party would do next.
But before long, Ye Fei felt another much more hidden presence, somewhere further away from A Si.
And this new presence carried a faint trace of killing intent.
"An accomplice?"
Ye Fei’s brows knitted slightly as he readied himself for any sudden developments.
At the same time, in the nearby woods, A Si was berating herself.
She didn’t even know why, but every time she saw someone with the Ye surname, she couldn’t help but blush, her heart would race, and she would start to daydream.
Not looking at him made her feel an annoying itch, a frenzied restlessness, a sour sensation that was especially uncomfortable.
The intense contradiction made A Si slap herself hard on the cheeks twice.
"A Si, can’t you stand up for yourself? Have some dignity! Have all the men in the world died off? Why on earth can’t you stop pining for him?"
