Chapter 0114: The Youngster

"Watch a movie?"

Not only Wen Yu, but even Tan Kaixuan and Wang Zhen looked puzzled. Why would Zhao Fusheng, out of the blue, tell Wen Yu to watch a movie?

Zhao Fusheng shook his head helplessly: "You're lovesick, so I'm recommending a few Japanese movies. What's the big deal?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes lit up. After all, the internet was still a novelty among college students at the time.

Whether it was the school BBS or the nearby internet cafes, they were always packed. Even though the fees were steep, many people were willing to scrimp and save to go online.

Take Wen Yu and the others, for example. Before Zhao Fusheng bought a computer, they had sneaked off to internet cafes several times.

But the internet wasn't very advanced yet, and people weren't familiar with the myriad of websites and their various features. Sites like XXX163 were often scribbled on scraps of paper and kept secret.

Now, Zhao Fusheng's words clearly hinted at something good. How could they not be surprised?

"Methods to Beat the Heat in Tokyo's Hot Weather," "Instructions for Eliminating the Rampant Pirates of the Caribbean," and "Application Guide for First-Class Old Drivers." Zhao Fusheng said calmly. "I'll give you the websites; go check them out yourselves."

With that, he wrote down a few URLs on a piece of paper, tossed it to Wen Yu, and turned back to his book.

The others grabbed the paper like it was a treasure and started fiddling with the computer. Luckily, they remembered to turn off the speakers and keep the volume low, or Zhao Fusheng would have had to hide outside the dorm.

Soon, Wen Yu exclaimed, "Holy crap, that's huge!"

"God, how did she do that..." That was Tan Kaixuan.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's too..." That was Wang Zhen.

A smile crept onto Zhao Fusheng's face. He suddenly wondered what these guys would think ten years from now when they recalled this moment.

...

...

As for the future, Zhao Fusheng couldn't be sure right now, because he wasn't a god.

But the next day, he still had to obediently go home.

The reason was simple: he had promised Fan Beibei that he would take the little princess out to play today.

Having no children in his past life, Zhao Fusheng saw Fan Beibei as a younger generation, and he truly doted on her.

When he got home, Fan Beibei was already dressed and waiting for him. According to Zhao's mother, the girl had been asking since morning when her brother would come back and take her to the amusement park.

Zhao's father and Li Yuan weren't home; they had gone to the bank.

Zhao Fusheng knew that his father had been contacting his retired comrades lately, apparently planning to make a big move.

He had no intention of interfering. He knew his father too well; if he wasn't absolutely sure, he wouldn't act rashly.

This was evident from the fact that he had chosen a location but hadn't yet negotiated the rent.

That was fine. Although starting a business required some boldness, in Zhao Fusheng's eyes, with his help behind the scenes, his father didn't need to overthink things. Being cautious was actually a good thing.

How many days and nights must one chase to reach the other shore where you are? Zhao Fusheng had asked himself this countless times in his dreams in his past life, but in the end, he never got an answer.

Because until the moment his life ended, he could never clearly see who was standing on that shore.

Maybe in this life, he could find that person.

"Brother!"

The moment she saw Zhao Fusheng, Fan Beibei's face lit up with a smile that could melt anything.

It wasn't that I met you in the best of times, but that with you, I had the best of times.

For some reason, that sentence flashed through Zhao Fusheng's mind at that moment.

"Take her with you and be careful," Zhao's mother instructed, worried something might happen. She had the day off, or she wouldn't have had time to babysit.

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Don't worry. Why don't you come with us?"

"No way." She shot him a glare. "I'm going to find your father. If it weren't for Beibei, I'd have left already."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said nothing more, taking Fan Beibei out.

Ninghai City's zoo was located by the river, next to the famous Flood Control Monument. It was only about a ten-minute bus ride away.

As soon as they got off the bus, Fan Beibei clapped her hands happily and pointed at the artificial mountain inside the zoo, shouting, "Monkeys! Monkeys!"

Zhao Fusheng was infected by her mood and chuckled softly.

Back then, Ninghai's amusement parks weren't as fun as the zoo, since there weren't many rides, and Fan Beibei was too young. Zhao Fusheng was afraid of accidentally hurting her. Last time they went to the amusement park, Fan Beibei was still in her mother's arms, so he didn't dare take her there alone. It was better to come to the zoo, carry her around, and let her see the animals.

As it turned out, Zhao Fusheng's choice was right. For the little girl, where they went didn't matter, as long as there were interesting things to hold her attention.

Held in Zhao Fusheng's arms, watching elephants, monkeys, tigers, and other animals, Fan Beibei clapped and laughed, completely immersed in joy.

Time passed without notice. If not for the page from Zhao's mother, Zhao Fusheng wouldn't have realized they had already spent three or four hours at the zoo.

Looking at the sun, which was already setting in the west, Zhao Fusheng realized it was already afternoon.

"Beibei, it's getting late. Let's go home," he said, putting her down and negotiating with her.

"No! I want to live with the monkeys."

Fan Beibei shook her head like a rattle drum and hugged Zhao Fusheng's leg, showing no intention of leaving.

"Beibei, be good. The monkeys need to find their mommies at night. You need to go home and find your mommy too." Zhao Fusheng coaxed her with a pained expression. He now understood why his dad always had such a funny look on his face whenever he had to coax Fan Beibei. The girl's train of thought was just too quirky.

In fact, it wasn't just Fan Beibei. Other children around were also crying and making a scene, as if they were facing a heartbreaking farewell.

For children, the zoo was undoubtedly a very attractive place. Making them leave while they were still having fun was like shattering their dreams.

With a sigh, Zhao Fusheng looked at Fan Beibei. No matter what, he still had to coax her.
