"Do you want to go to the amusement park?" Huo YanXiao asked. Nie AnAn paused for a second upon hearing Huo YanXiao's question. Then she quickly recalled hearing on the news that Huo YanXiao was about to invest in a chain amusement park. Did he want her to go survey it with him?

Besides, even though her grandfather from her previous life loved her dearly, he wasn't able to replace her parents after all. She had never been to an amusement park before. So Nie AnAn nodded and said, "Okay."

When the weekend came, Nie AnAn had on a white t-shirt and rose-colored shorts for the sake of convenience. Her pale legs looked like they were illuminating underneath her rose-colored shorts. She wasn't tall, but her proportion was great. Her legs were long and slender. With her hair tied up to a ponytail behind her head, it went from side to side like an actual tail as she trotted around the place. Huo YanXiao noticed that he was walking too fast for her and purposefully slowed down.

Once they arrived at the amusement park, they immediately realized how crowded it was. It was obvious that this was the first time for both of them. Huo YanXiao looked at the pass in his hand and looked for the merry-go-round, the mildest of all of them, to go with Nie AnAn. Most of the other visitors were either lovers or parents and their children. Huo YanXiao looked at his sister and wasn't sure where they stood.

Nie AnAn had already ran to the end of the line and waved at him, "Come here, big brother!" Huo YanXiao noticed that it was mostly the girls who were on the wooden horses with their fathers and boyfriends taking pictures for them on the outside and said, "You go inside. I'll take pictures for you." Nie AnAn nodded obediently. It so happened that time was up for the previous group, so she entered with the new visitors that were standing in line.

Even when going to the amusement park, Huo YanXiao was still in his business elite outfit. His aura simply did not fit in with all the balloons and stuffed toys around him. He was video-taping Nie AnAn with his cellphone when an older man next to him asked, "Hey, young man. You have a daughter already? Which one is yours? I cam with my grandson. Do you want the kids to play together afterward?" Huo YanXiao was still recording so he pointed at the screen.

The old man didn't look too pleased. He looked for a few seconds before he sighed, "You must have gotten married very early. Your daughter is so grown already." Huo YanXiao, "..." This was the first time Nie AnAn had been on a merry-go-round, so she was quite excited. She trotted over to where Huo YanXiao was. She was just about to call him "big brother" when he grabbed on her wrist, avoided the old man, and walked quickly toward the roller coaster.

"Big brother, do you want to go ride the roller coaster? That one you can get on too!" said Nie AnAn. Huo YanXiao nodded, "Mm." It was even crowded over there, and someone bumped into Nie AnAn. Huo YanXiao frowned and shot him a piercing look full of killing intent. The man was so frightened that he almost fell and repeatedly apologized to Nie AnAn.

Huo YanXiao looked down and saw that the bump didn't injure the girl next to him. He let out a sigh of relief. He reached out his arm, put it around her, and walked forward with her in his arm. Nie AnAn was brought inside Huo YanXiao's chest entirely. His chest was thick and warm and very protective. The corners of her mouth lifted up. It's so wonderful to have a brother! It made her feel paternal love that she had never experienced in the past.

The line for the roller coaster was long. The two of them waited in line and shuffled forward with the rest of the people. A little boy in front of them, seeing someone else with a cotton candy, shook his dad's arm and said, 'Daddy, I want cotton candy!" His father frowned and said, "You are already 9 years old. Those are for little kids!"

Huo YanXiao followed the little boy's look and saw a little girl around 5-6 years old, in her pastel-colored princess outfit, eating a cotton candy that was bigger than her head. For some reason, he thought about Nie AnAn and asked the girl standing next to her, "AnAn, do you want cotton candy?"

Nie AnAn, too, overhead the conversation between the father and son. She looked up at him with her limpid eyes and said in the most serious tone, "Big brother, I am already 20 years old." In front of them, the father and son duo had also overheard their conversation. They turned around.

The little boy, in an accusatory tone said, "Dad, her brother was going to get the 20-year-old big sister a cotton candy! I am only 9. Why can't I have one?" The father looked the two of them up and down and said in a low voice, "It's not the same." "How's it not the same? I am still a baby!" said the little boy, feeling unjust. The man was already getting impatient. He yanked the boy over and said, "They are brother and sister, and we are father and son." The boy had no idea what the difference was.

Behind them, Huo YanXiao frowned. The roller coaster here was ranked one of the top ones in Asia and was especially high. As the cart climbed to the highest point, Nie AnAn started to feel scared. She turned and said to Huo YanXiao, who was sitting next to her, and said in an intimidated voice, "Big brother, I am scared." Huo YanXiao reached out his hand and held onto her hand that was grabbing onto the bar tightly.

He started regretting his choice. He should have taken her to bumper cars, spinning coffee cups, or something along that line. These scary ones were not suitable for the girl right now. Her little palm was sweaty. The minute that the cart dropped, she closed her eyes, and her little face was filled with fear. Scenes from the plane accident that she had long forgotten suddenly tore their way out of her memories. To the point that when the roller coaster finally came to a stop, her legs were still buckled and she couldn't move.

Looking at her pale face, he was worried. Anxiously, he asked, "AnAn, are you feeling alright?" Nie AnAn shook her head. "Just scared." The next batch of guests were already loading. Huo YanXiao walked in front of Nie AnAn, squatted down, and said, "C'mon." Nie AnAn felt a little embarrassed. She was already 20 years old. Still letting her brother carry her on his back seemed a little awkward.

But her entire body felt drained and for sure she wouldn't be able to walk on her own. She climbed into Huo YanXiao's back and he reached out his hands and held her tightly. He then stood up steadily and carried her out. His pace was fast and steady as though he couldn't feel someone on his back at all.

What the two didn't know was that one of the visitors had already posted their picture on WeChat. [OMG! OMG! I saw Nie AnAn and her brother at the amusement park today! AnAn was so cute, and her brother spoiled her rotten like a father. Here's a picture as proof!] Underneath that, there was a picture of Nie AnAn sitting on the wooden horse with Huo YanXiao taking her picture from the outside.

It so happened that the batch that went up with Nie AnAn were mostly kids and all the ones taking pictures outside were parents. Standing amidst all the parents in his buttoned-down shirt and slacks, Huo YanXiao, with his ascetic and handsome qualities, attracted plenty of attention. After that, there was a picture with Huo YanXiao having his arm around Nie AnAn. As it was a picture taken from the back without their knowledge and that Nie AnAn was much smaller than Huo YanXiao, all one could see was her exposed arm. The rest of her was blocked by Huo YanXiao. The last one was the two of them getting out of the roller coaster, with Huo YanXiao first carrying her off with both arms, then carrying her on his back.

The post wasn't seen by many at first, probably because it was first posted under a string for "Gold Medal Inn". But about an hour or so later, some internet influencer discovered the photos and reposted them, and their views rose quickly.

By the time Nie AnAn and Huo YanXiao walked out of the amusement park, the subject of "Nie AnAn and her brother" was already all over the internet. Plenty of people on WeChat like to match others as couples, so someone left the message – "Oh, I felt that AnAn and her brother have a couple feel to them! Plus, they have different last names. Maybe they are not real brother and sister? I would love for them to be a couple!" "Exactly! What was that rumor about AnAn having a thing for Young Master Qin. Have you ever seen the two of them so loving together? I think AnAn should be a couple with Brother Huo!"

"Am I the only one who thinks that AnAn and Brother Huo felt more like father and daughter together?" "I think they are like father and daughter too! Not_Sure_To_Laugh_Or_To_Cry.jpg" "I vote for brother and sister couple!" "I am team Father and Daughter!"

In between the two teams each rooting for their own side, there was one by the nickname of "Mama Feng". She also reposted the message and added the commentary, "Why don't I have a son like that? I want a son who'd bring home a cute sister like that too. Aye, that useless son of mine!"

Inside his office, Nie ChengFeng's nose itched all of a sudden, and he let out a sneeze.
