Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Ms. Xin’s Calculation
When Liu Sisi put down her bowl and chopsticks, she still seemed reluctant to part with them.

“Pfahaha! Cough cough cough… ”

Ms. Xin sitting beside her accidentally sprayed her food out, drawing the attention of everyone nearby.

“Ms. Xin, could you be any more disgusting?”

Guihua angrily put down her bowl, fuming. She was sprayed all over, who could still eat? Now this half a bowl of corn porridge was wasted!

“I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean it. It’s just that Third Sister-in-law told this story so pitifully.”

Ms. Xin also hurriedly took out a towel and wiped everyone’s face while covering her mouth: “Those who know her situation understand that she eats rice every day. If they didn’t know, they might have thought her family ate wild vegetables every meal. This bowl of corn porridge was described so deliciously, but I don’t feel anything while eating it.”

Guihua was not pleased and brushed away her hand.

“Don’t wipe it! Who knows what your towel has touched, you are going around wiping stuff everywhere. You’re not grossed out by its dirtiness, but I’m afraid of catching some disease.”

Afterwards, she glared at Ms. Xin. She was becoming more and more intolerant of her.

Apart from her affected behavior and relying on her pretty face to please people, she was always causing unnecessary trouble.

Little Ying beside her saw the dirty bowls and quietly put down her chopsticks. She turned to look at Liu Sisi with a wronged face.

Liu Sisi patted her head and led her away by hand.

After thinking about it, she bought a sticky rice roll for each of the few children, bought some candied haws, and took one herself.

This sour and sweet taste was still the best!

“Sisi… ”

She heard a soft call from behind and saw Di Yelei’s face filled with a sorrowful look that she directly swept past and focused on Liu Zhi’er instead.

“Second Sister, let’s go! Let’s go to the waterfall and take a look. I heard that it’s beautiful there!”

The reason why Liu Sisi said this was because of her overhearing on the way about the beauty of the waterfall.

Liu Zhi’er naturally wouldn’t object to her, and hurriedly led the children forward.

While walking and talking, they gradually separated from the slow-moving men behind them.

“I think I saw them lingering near the juggler’s stage earlier. Xuan’er was riding on Di Yelei’s shoulders and didn’t come over.”

Ms. Xin had great observation and casually mentioned what she had seen.

“That’s good too. Let’s just go play and have fun. We’ll leave when we’ve finished.”

Liu Sisi felt stifled in her heart and pulled Liu Zhi’er’s hand to walk towards the location of the waterfall.

In the winter, the waterfall had a small flow with numerous ice crystals in mid-air.

Layer upon layer of transparent ice crystals as clear as water were incredibly charming.

Being washed by the continuous stream of water, it was hard not to marvel at the wonders of nature.

Though the waterfall was beautiful, no one seemed interested in admiring it as they were lost in their thoughts.

Liu Sisi felt an inexplicable sense of frustration in her heart, a sense of suffocation!

Did that hateful man really not plan to explain anything to her? She had been waiting for him for half a day, yet his mouth remained tightly shut, not saying a single word.

How hateful! How irritating!

She viciously bit into the last candied hawthorn in her hand, chewing it forcefully, as if she were chewing on his flesh!

She was preoccupied and naturally didn’t notice the glances of Ms. Xin beside her, who kept darting her eyes at Liu Sisi from time to time.

“Third Sister-in-law, look! They have popcorn in their paper bags, don’t they? It looks so fragrant and delicious.”

Following Ms. Xin’s pointing finger, Liu Sisi indeed saw a little girl holding a paper bag and eating popcorn. The sweet and fragrant taste wafted over with the wind, making her mouth water immediately.

“There really is popcorn! It should be over there. Let’s go buy some!”

“Don’t! It’s so crowded here. If we all go, what if Third Brother comes and can’t find us?”

Ms. Xin suggested, “How about this? We send one person to go buy and the rest of us wait here. What do you think? Or… I’ll go buy. I’ll be back soon.” As she spoke, her eyes swept over everyone.

Everyone immediately raised their hands in agreement.

Guihua thought for a moment, “Ms. Xin is right. But let me go buy it! It should be sold over there. Just don’t wander too far. If I can’t find you when I come back, it won’t be good.”

Liu Sisi wanted to stop Guihua from leaving, but after a moment, she eventually agreed. “That’s fine, hurry back.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not a kid anymore.” Guihua hurried off after speaking.

As soon as Guihua left, the most powerful person in the group who still remained was Liu Zhi’er. Ms. Xin rolled her eyes and gave a light cough before saying with an unusually embarrassed smile, “Ah! Third Sister-in-law, do you know where the restroom is? I… I have a sudden urge to go to the restroom.”

Liu Sisi hadn’t felt the need before Ms. Xin mentioned it, but now she suddenly felt the urge to go as well and hurried to stand up.

“It’s just as well that I want to go too. Let’s go together; it’s safer that way. Second Sister, just wait here with the children, and we’ll be back shortly.”

Liu Zhi’er also wanted to go, but she stopped when she heard Liu Sisi’s words. The two of them walked, one after the other, toward where Liu Sisi remembered the restrooms were.

“When we came here last time, I recall there being a restroom nearby. Let’s see if I remember correctly. It should be… Look over there! Let’s hurry.”

Liu Sisi said excitedly. Ms. Xin beside her became secretly anxious. Where were the people who were supposed to wait here? She couldn’t see their shadows.

She wanted to find an excuse to delay, but she was involuntarily led into the restroom.

When Liu Sisi came out of the restroom after relieving herself, she saw a boy dressed as a young servant approaching with a bow.

“Good day, Madam. Someone asked me to deliver this letter to you.”

A letter?

Who would send her a letter? How strange!

Before she could ask, the letter carrier disappeared into the crowd. She looked at the thin envelope in her hand, and unable to suppress her curiosity, she tore it open and carelessly scanned the contents. Her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly ran towards the back of the restroom.

Just moments after she left, Ms. Xin came out of the restroom and saw Liu Sisi gradually disappearing in front of her. She gave a cold laugh of relief.

Finally trapped. No wonder she had arranged so much in advance.

On the other side, Di Yelei and the others were completely mesmerized by the acrobatics performance.

When the acrobatics finally ended and were replaced by a dance, Di Yelei began to search for Liu Sisi and the others around him.

“Huh? Where are Sisi and the others? Did you see Sisi? How come they’re gone?”

He was mad at Sisi earlier and focused on walking, then was distracted by the performance. It wasn’t until now that he realized the others were missing.
