Chapter 369 A Deadly Coincidence
Even at this hour, KK was still thinking about food.
Yunzhi laughed in anger. She could tell that although the man's clothes did not have a logo, the fabric was not ordinary. They must have been custom-made and expensive. But she did not expect that the man was not angry about his clothes being ruined. Instead, he wanted to buy KK a new ice cream.
"Your ice cream will be confiscated for the next week." Yunzhi gently pinched KK's chubby cheeks, and KK wilted at a visible speed. The man next to her frowned when he saw this. "Madam, isn't confiscating your ice cream for a week a bit too pitiful?"
For some reason, he felt an instant fondness for the little boy. If the boy was unhappy, his heart ached too. He certainly wouldn't have bothered with anyone else, but when he thought of the little guy's disappointed expression, he couldn't help but plead for him.
"Excuse me, sir, actually his stomach is too weak, and he can't eat ice cream. Thank you for your kindness. By the way, sir, I'm very sorry that my child dirtied your clothes. I'm willing to fully compensate you for your clothes." Yunzhi stood up and shielded KK behind her, her polite tone leaving no room for criticism.
When the man heard that the little boy had a weak stomach, he nodded knowingly. He didn't mention the ice cream, but when he heard that Yunzhi wanted to compensate him for his clothes, he shook his head without hesitation. "It's just a piece of clothing, and it can be washed and worn again. No need to compensate me. But ma'am, may I ask what your child's name is? I liked your child very much the moment I saw him."
If it were anyone else, Yunzhi would be happy if more people liked KK, but the man's face made Yunzhi wary. She looked down at KK, who was still staring at the ice cream that had fallen on the ground, and then at the man standing to the side with his hands in his pockets. She thought she was overthinking things. What kind of coincidence could there be in the world?
Yunzhi opened her mouth, about to speak, when suddenly the sound of a broadcast came from above.
"KK, your dad is waiting for you at the information desk. Please keep an eye out for a four-year-old mixed-race boy wearing overalls and white sneakers. If you see him, please pass this message on to the information desk. Thank you!"
In an instant, Yunzhi felt that there were many more people looking in their direction. She thought to herself, "Oh no, I was so happy to find KK that I forgot about Cheng Shuyan and Yun Yun." She quickly took out her phone and called Cheng Shuyan and Yun Yun respectively to tell them that the child had been found and that they no longer needed to continue searching for the child or sealing off the entrances and exits.
Yun Yun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that KK had been found, and instructed, "Come back as soon as the child is found. Don't let anything else go wrong. Fortunately, he was just lost and not taken away by bad people. You and Cheng Shuyan are two adults with the child, how could he get lost..."
Yun Yun didn't know what to say to them.
Yunzhi awkwardly touched her nose, and after hanging up the phone, she said to the man, "Thank you for your kind words. Our child's nickname is KK. Perhaps it's because he's mixed-race that you like him so much. However, we must compensate you for your clothes. Please tell me a price and a bank card number, and I will transfer the money to you."
The man raised an eyebrow, and his smile widened when he heard the name KK. "What a coincidence, my nickname is also KK."
What? This man's nickname is also KK.
At this point, such a coincidence is not so pleasant.
Yunzhi pursed her lips and gave a dry laugh, "It really is a coincidence; quite a few people use this nickname."
Whether it was because of this coincidence or not, Yunzhi felt more and more that this man was KK's father whom she had never met. If that was really the case, then Yu Baisu and Qin Ran were really audacious. They clearly dared not let KK appear in front of his father, but they still dared to give KK the same nickname as his father. Were they afraid that if they met, the two of them would not recognize each other?
The man shrugged. "It's just a piece of clothing. Like you Chinese say, it's all about fate. It doesn't cost me much. Besides, if you pay for it, I'll have to take my pants off for you. I don't want to get arrested by your Chinese police. I know you're very conservative."
“We value privacy…” Yunzhi explained subconsciously, but didn’t dwell on the matter. “Okay, thank you so much. We’ll be going now; my husband is waiting for me.”
Yunzhi didn't want to stay here with KK any longer and wanted to leave as soon as possible. She gently patted KK's shoulder and said, "KK, say goodbye to your uncle."
KK politely said goodbye, which made the man want to take KK back. He was a little confused. He used to hate children the most, and when he saw his brother's child, he wanted to throw him out. But now he liked this strange little boy so much.
The man watched KK's retreating figure with a smile he himself didn't realize on his face, until a woman took his arm. "Honey, what are you looking at? My God, honey, what happened to your leg? How come there's such a big black patch?"
The woman widened her eyes dramatically.
"Shut up." The man's good mood vanished instantly. He shoved the woman away and left without looking back. The woman watched his retreating figure, stomped her foot angrily, and chased after him.
On the other side, after Yunzhi and Cheng Shuyan reunited, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that the man would catch up. What if he noticed something was wrong? Wait... In the first place, she adopted KK because she wanted that person who had become a father unexpectedly to know that he had a son outside. Why was she so afraid that person would recognize KK now?
Yunzhi rubbed her hair, temporarily putting the thought out of her mind. She thought, maybe she was overthinking it, maybe that man and KK had nothing to do with each other at all?
Cheng Shuyan relaxed when he saw KK's tense nerves relax. He bent down and picked KK up in his arms. When he saw Yunzhi's pale face, he jokingly asked, "Zhizhi, why do you look so pale? People who don't know might think you've seen a ghost."
Yunzhi, “…” Although she didn’t see a ghost, it was pretty close. She had too many questions in her mind. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she seemed to see that man who looked like a little sun in the crowd again.
"No, let's go back first. Big brother knows we almost lost KK and told us to hurry back." Yunzhi pulled Cheng Shuyan's arm and led him and KK away from the amusement park in a hurry.
KK stared longingly at the ice cream truck getting further and further away from him, drooling all over Cheng Shuyan's shoulder.
Unbeknownst to Yunzhi, the man happened to see the two of them hurrying away as they left.
