As if he had thought of something, Director Wang suddenly asked before leaving, "Can I make an unreasonable request?"
"Director Wang, please go ahead." Han Zhou said with a smile.
Director Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "If I have time, can I come to your house for a home visit?"
Perhaps fearing that Han Zhou might misunderstand, he explained, "I'm not doubting your relationship, but your situation with this child is indeed very special. I won't interfere, I just want to learn more."
Han Zhou nodded.
"of course can."

Chapter 389 You Look Like a Scumbag
"Hello, please give me two cups of classic milk tea, medium, hot."
"OK, just a second."
"By the way, do you have anything to eat?"
"Of course, this is the drinks menu. There's a promotion going on recently, and many of the set meals in the store are on sale. They're very affordable."
"Let me see...then give me a parent-child meal."
Family package?
The sweetly smiling bartender was stunned for a moment, and his eyes quickly swept from the school uniform of the handsome customer who was speaking to the face of the girl in the wheelchair in front of him, "Okay, it will take some time to prepare the set meal, you can take a seat in the store and wait."
"Thank you."
Han Zhou pushed the wheelchair towards the empty seat, completely ignoring Xiao Xiaoxiao's small fists waving at his arms and her gritted teeth muttering.
"Who is your sister, who is your sister..."
"Who depends on you for life, who depends on you for life..."
"Who wants to eat the parent-child set meal? Who wants to eat the parent-child set meal?"
Ever since he broke up with Director Wang, this guy has been brooding over what he said at the time. Han Zhou's ears are almost callused from all this mumbling.
He moved the chair to the side and pushed the wheelchair to the table to secure it. He then sat down across the table and said helplessly, "The parent-child meal is the most affordable of all the meals. It includes two burgers, two chicken rolls, a serving of French fries, a fried chicken, and a small toy. I chose it because it's cost-effective."
Seeing Xiao Xiaoxiao still unhappy, he shook his head and laughed, "I'm still young, and bringing a daughter your age will affect my ability to find a girlfriend."
He was not keen on finding a girlfriend, and he was not even sure whether he could live to see the day when he had one. He said that just to make Xiao Xiaoxiao happy.
This girl has been unhappy since she met Director Wang. No one knows why. Could it be because Director Wang looks a lot like her biological father?
Xiao Xiaoxiao sneered and said disdainfully: "Tsk, as if you can find a girlfriend without me."
She pouted and lowered her head, her eyes dimming slightly.
Han Zhou smiled and said, "Do you believe it or not, if I hadn't ordered the parent-child set meal just now, would the bartender have asked me for Feixun?"
"I don't believe it, you're so narcissistic." Xiao Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, "You're still wearing your high school uniform. She looks several years older than you. How could she fall for a kid like you?"
"You're wrong. Some people just like younger people. Otherwise, how do you think the words shota and loli became so popular?"
Han Zhou solemnly repeated what he had heard from Lin Anyu, and suddenly noticed that Xiao Xiaoxiao's eyes became alert when he looked at him. He held the wheels of the wheelchair with both hands, as if ready to retreat at any time.
The corner of his mouth twitched: "I didn't say that. I have no interest in younger people."
Xiao Xiaoxiao looked unconvinced: "Then what kind of girls are you interested in?"
Han Zhou pondered for a moment. He had never really thought about this question. After all, he was having trouble surviving and had no time to think about love.
After a while, he said seriously, "I'm interested in pretty girls."
"I knew it."
Xiao Xiaoxiao looked disdainful and said, "The first time I saw you, I thought you were a scumbag. You wouldn't let go of any pretty girl."
Han Zhou sighed: "I am your savior after all. It is inappropriate for you to have such a deep prejudice against me, isn't it?"
"It's because you are my savior. In the future, if those girls who have been let down by you want to kill you together, I will try my best to save your life." Xiao Xiaoxiao said proudly.
"Are you cursing me?"
"I'm just reminding you that I will give you this life anyway."
Han Zhou was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the bartender coming over with a parent-child meal and two cups of milk tea. He smiled and said, "Hello, both of you. This is your meal."
"Thank you." Han Zhou smiled politely.
"You're welcome."
The bartender smiled sweetly, hesitated for a moment, took out his phone and said, "Um... can I add Fetion?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was drooling at the hamburger, immediately widened his eyes.
Han Zhou straightened his back slightly and smiled reservedly: "Of course."
Over the years, there have been many girls who asked him for his contact information, but he usually refused politely. However, this time, in order to give Xiao Xiaoxiao a good slap in the face, he naturally would not refuse.
The bartender was overjoyed. After sending the message, she returned to the front desk excitedly. She glanced over here from time to time, her face slightly flushed, and she seemed quite shy.
"How about it?"
Han Zhou inserted the straw into the milk tea and handed it to Xiao Xiaoxiao. Although he smiled and said nothing, his straight back was enough to show how proud he was.
"Tsk, what's there to be proud of? He is indeed a scumbag..."
Xiao Xiaoxiao muttered something unhappily and bit the straw fiercely, as if trying to vent her dissatisfaction.
"Can you please stop using the word 'scumbag' all the time?"
"I'll pull it, I'll pull it!"
Han Zhou sighed helplessly: "Are you still a child?"
"You are the child!"
He shook his head and didn't care. He put Han Zhou and the chicken roll on Xiao Xiaoxiao's table, put on gloves, tore the slightly hot fried chicken into small pieces, and pushed them all in front of the other person, leaving only a chicken leg for himself.
After doing all this, he picked up the hamburger and started eating.
A few seconds passed, and seeing Xiao Xiaoxiao staring at him motionlessly, he felt helpless: "Eat your food, why are you staring at me?"
"Do you want to charge a fee?" Xiao Xiaoxiao said dissatisfiedly.
“No.”
"Then let me see what's wrong?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, picked up the burger and started eating.
"How does it taste?" Han Zhou handed over a tissue and asked with a smile.
"It doesn't taste good, cough cough cough."
Xiao Xiaoxiao choked and coughed twice, then took two big gulps of milk tea before she recovered. She said disappointedly, "I always thought this was delicious."
She regretted saying this, because wasn't this telling this guy that she had never eaten a hamburger?
"Really?" Han Zhou didn't seem to notice her strangeness and smiled, "I always thought this thing was delicious."
Xiao Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, biting the straw without answering, and complained after a while: "Why are you pushing all this to me? I can't finish it."
"This is a family meal after all." Han Zhou shook his head, "I can't eat with peace of mind unless you are full."
It took Xiao Xiaoxiao two seconds to react. Her face flushed red and she looked fierce.
"what do you mean!"
……
After leaving the milk tea shop, Han Zhou pushed Xiao Xiaoxiao to Ginkgo Street, where a trade fair was being held.
Different from the high-end and classy trade fairs that often appear on TV, the trade fair on Ginkgo Street is quite down-to-earth. Although the entire street is used as the venue, it is more like a gathering of various vendors than a trade fair.
The entire street has been carefully decorated, with the overall style being bright red. A long red carpet is laid on the ground, and long red ropes are connected above the street, giving people a very festive feeling.
Han Zhou introduced with a smile: "Those ropes in the sky are used to hang lanterns. The trade fair here is held every now and then, so many things have never been dismantled. However, it is only the busiest during the Chinese New Year. If you come at night and try to squeeze in, you may not be able to squeeze in."
"Don't think that there are not many people here now. This place will be lively at night. Unfortunately, I have something to do at night, otherwise I would bring you here at that time."
"This place sells basically everything, food, drinks, accessories, books, discs, and antiques... The prices are all quite cheap, but I can't guarantee whether they are authentic or not."
It was obviously the first time for Xiao Xiaoxiao to come to such a place. She looked around curiously while listening to Han Zhou's introduction, holding a little yellow duck in her hand - this was a toy given as a gift in the parent-child meal. She had originally sneered at this kind of gadget, but after receiving it, she found that she couldn't let it go and kept pinching it all the way.
Han Zhou glanced at the little yellow duck and continued with a stern face, "I remember there was a ring-tossing game in front. All the gifts you caught belonged to you. It didn't require much strength, so it shouldn't be a problem for your hands. How about it? Are you interested in giving it a try?"
"want!"
Xiao Xiaoxiao responded loudly, but soon hesitated, pinched the duck and asked, "Is this expensive?"
When she found out that the milk tea and family meal cost more than 60 yuan, she was shocked and heartbroken. This amount of money was obviously enough to buy a whole chicken, so she would ask an extra question whenever she had to spend money.
"Not expensive."
Han Zhou smiled and said, "As long as you are accurate in your investment, we can even make a small profit."
He pushed Xiao Xiaoxiao forward and soon saw a stall with various items displayed. The boss, wearing a down jacket, was lying on a bench watching videos, with colorful circles around him.
Seeing the two people stopping in front of the stall, the boss jumped up from the bench and said with a smile: "Are you interested? You can only throw a circle once. It counts as if you catch it. You don't have to hit it completely. The things you catch are yours. If you don't hit it completely, you will get a small gift."
Xiao Xiaoxiao looked at the things on the ground with shining eyes. Seeing her interest, Han Zhou asked, "How much are these circles for?"
"Twenty yuan for fifteen, thirty yuan for thirty, forty yuan..."
"Give me thirty." Han Zhou paid using Fetion.
"okay!"
The boss quickly counted out thirty circles and handed them to Han Zhou. Han Zhou kept ten for himself and gave the remaining twenty to Xiao Xiaoxiao.
"Come on, it's up to you to make back your investment." He squatted beside the girl and whispered encouragement to her.
Xiao Xiaoxiao seemed to be attracted by the dazzling array of prizes on the stool in front of him. This time, she did not mock him, but instead seemed full of fighting spirit: "Which one can make back the money?"
"Whichever one you think is bigger, just put it on."
"But the big one should be difficult to fit, right?" Xiao Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed.
"Then buy a few more small ones, you can still make a profit."
