Zheng Pianqian hadn't seen Mu Chen for a long time, and she didn't expect to meet him here: "Are you coming to travel too?"
Mu Chen: "Yes, I am traveling after graduation."
After he answered Zheng Pianqing's question, he went to say hello to Sansan, "Hello, honey, do you still remember me?"
Sansan nodded without hesitation, "I remember, Uncle Mu~"
When Mu Chen gave her chocolate before, Sansan was already old enough to have memories, and her memory had always been particularly good.
After hearing this answer, Mu Chen showed an expression of surprise and raised his eyebrows: "Then you are so awesome, you are such a smart kid."
After the relationship between Zheng Pianqing and Mu Chen ended, they did not delete each other's contact information, but they also did not contact each other specifically. They just left messages and likes for each other on social platforms.
Zheng Pianqing also knew about Mu Chen's graduation. He had posted his graduation photos on social media a few days ago.
After Mu Chen praised Sansan, he turned to look at Zheng Pianying: "Where do you live? Is there anyone to pick you up?"
Zheng Pianqing: "Yes, you are busy..."
"I mean, I want to take a ride." Mu Chen asked her with a smile, "Is that okay?"
Zheng Pianqing: "No problem, I can send it to you first."
She had just thought that Mu Chen wanted to give her a ride, so she would refuse, but if Mu Chen was riding in the car, she wouldn't have any objections.
So, the three of them walked to the airport pick-up port together.
Mu Chen and the driver put the suitcase in the trunk together and sat in the passenger seat.
When Zheng Pianqing saw him getting into the car, she took the initiative to ask him: "Where is your hotel? Tell the master the address and I will send you off first."
Mu Chen casually pulled on his seat belt and said, "I'm with your family."
Zheng Pianqing: "...?"
Mu Chen: "I haven't booked a hotel yet, so let's go with you. There will be no problem with your choice."
Then, he said to the driver in English: "She and I will stay in the same hotel."
Zheng Pianqing did not correct Mu Chen. After the car started, she asked him, "You really didn't book a hotel?"
Mu Chen: "No, you know, I am a casual person and don't like to make plans."
This is true. After spending time together, Zheng Pianqian understands it deeply.
Mu Chen: "I'm very familiar with Vancouver. Do you want to play together?"
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Free tour guide, just give me a ride."
Zheng Pianqing was not opposed to playing with Mu Chen, but after all, she came out this time to accompany Sansan, so she wanted to ask Sansan what she thought first: "Sansan, what do you think?"
Sansan likes Mu Chen, but she has never played with him before, and the two of them cannot be said to be particularly familiar. Zheng Pianqian is afraid that she won't get used to it.
Sansan fell into deep thought.
She actually likes Mu Chen, but Uncle Zhou is coming tomorrow. If she agrees to play with Mu Chen at this time, she will always feel like "betrayal".
Mu Chen saw Sansan's hesitation and threw a fatal bait to her: "I know a shop with delicious cakes. I can take you to eat them tomorrow."
Mu Chen knew how to prescribe the right medicine. After Sansan heard the word "little cake", she was immediately shaken.
After some weighing, he finally agreed to play with Mu Chen.
Zheng Pianqing looked at Mu Chen coaxing Sansan with small cakes, and couldn't help but think of Zhou Yi - he had done the same thing before.
However, when Mu Chen used this move, he looked much more pleasing to the eye than Zhou Yi.
Objectively speaking, Mu Chen and Zhou Yi have very similar personalities, styles, and even hobbies, but Zheng Pianqian will not feel any discomfort or pressure when getting along with Mu Chen.
Therefore, even if he proposed to play with their mother and daughter, Zheng Pianqing did not think that he had other intentions.
Because Mu Chen himself is a person who likes to have fun, even when the two of them maintained a relationship, Mu Chen never mentioned marriage. Zheng Pian Ting would not feel too much burden or guilt when getting along with him.
When he arrived at the hotel to book a room, Mu Chen asked the front desk for the room opposite Zheng Pianqing's door. The room happened to be vacant.
Mu Chen helped Zheng Pianqing and San San carry their luggage to the room. Before leaving, he proactively suggested: "Let's go have dinner together later. I'll treat you."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Mu." Sansan had a great time chatting with Mu Chen on the way and agreed almost without hesitation.
Mu Chen looked at Zheng Pianying with a smile: "What about you, Ms. Zheng?"
Zheng Pianqing was made to laugh by his title: "It's a waste of money, Mr. Mu."
Mu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Not bad, Ms. Zheng can joke now. I'm very pleased with the progress."
After joking for a while, Mu Chen went back to collect his things.
Zheng Pianying simply hung up her clothes, then stood by the window and looked out.
Sansan was sitting on the sofa holding her mobile phone. On the screen was a chat window with Zhou Yi, showing the location information she had just sent.
Zhou Yi quickly replied: [Okay, see you tomorrow. 】
Sansan: [yeah, I’ve eaten. 】
Sansan originally wanted to tell Zhou Yi about Mu Chen, but because Zheng Pianqing was present, her Chinese characters and words were limited, so she didn't say anything.
——
Not long after dinner, Sansan was so sleepy that she fell asleep.
Zheng Pianqing wasn't too sleepy, so she sat in the living room in a daze after taking a shower.
After a while, Mu Chen knocked on the door.
"Is Sansan sleeping?" Mu Chen walked in and looked around, but didn't see Sansan.
Zheng Pianqing said "Yeah", "She was tired from the plane and felt sleepy when she came back. Are you looking for her?"
Mu Chen: "Well, I want to talk to her about the itinerary for the next few days."
He sat down naturally and said, "Since she is asleep, let's talk to you."
Zheng Pianqian shook her head, "I have a busy travel plan and I haven't thought much about where to take her. Do you have any objections?"
Mu Chen: “Have you seen Niagara Falls?”
Zheng Pianqing: "No."
Mu Chen: "After two or three days in Vancouver, we can go to Ontario."
He said, "There is also the Guinness Museum of Records and the MGM Movie Center there, which children will like more."
Zheng Pianqian listened to Mu Chen's words carefully, and then nodded in agreement.
She was sure that Sansan would like these places, "Thank you."
Without Mu Chen, she might have had to prepare a strategy for several days before she could get this information.
Mu Chen waved his hand, "No need to be so polite."
"Would you like to talk to me about your recent life?" Mu Chen changed the topic.
Although it was a relatively private question, Zheng Pianqing did not feel offended and answered him easily: "It's not bad. I moved to New York and live with Sansan."
"That's good." Mu Chen looked at her face, "Your current condition is much better than when we just met."
Zheng Pianqing: "Really?"
Mu Chen: "Well, you made me feel like a wandering ghost at that time."
He considered it carefully, "I'm not very good at Chinese. Anyway... what I want to express is that you don't have a strong sense of belonging to the environment around you, or to the world."
"But it's different now. You look like you've landed. You're very lively." Mu Chen said with a smile, "I'm very happy for you when I see your change."
