It's not too late to meet in the book

Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, dappling every corner of the park and adding a touch of vitality and energy to this weekend morning. In the children's play area, a group of children were running happily, their laughter and cheers echoing one after another, as if playing a piece of childhood music.

Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan walked hand in hand into the playground, their eyes sparkling with excitement and curiosity. They looked around, searching for a playmate. Just then, a little boy in a blue T-shirt, smiling broadly, approached them.

"Hi, how are you guys! My name is Zhao Mingming. Can I play with you?" the little boy asked. His voice was clear and pleasant, like a spring breeze blowing through his heart.

Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan looked at Zhao Mingming, then at each other, a hint of surprise in their eyes. They knew this was a good opportunity to make new friends. So, they nodded and smiled brightly.

"Okay, let's play together!" Lei Xiaoyue replied, her voice filled with joy and anticipation. She took Lin Yuxuan's hand and walked towards Zhao Mingming, as if welcoming a new beginning.

Zhao Mingming saw the enthusiasm of Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan and smiled happily. He took their hands and ran to the other side of the playground, where there was a wide lawn and several good hiding places, perfect for playing hide-and-seek.

"Let's play hide-and-seek! I'll count to twenty and then come find you," Zhao Mingming suggested, his voice filled with excitement and anticipation. He knew this game was a favorite among children and a great way to make new friends.

Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan immediately nodded in agreement after hearing Zhao Mingming's suggestion. They knew this game would not only be fun but also improve their reflexes and teamwork. So, they began looking for a hiding place, ready to take on Zhao Mingming's challenge.

Zhao Mingming closed his eyes and began counting. His voice was clear and powerful, adding a touch of tension and excitement to the game. Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan took the opportunity to run to the other side of the grass and hide behind a large tree. They held their breath, fearing Zhao Mingming would discover them.

As time went by, Zhao Mingming finally counted to twenty. He began to search everywhere for Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan. His eyes were sharp and alert, like a true detective. He ran here and there, but he could not find Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan's hiding place.

At this moment, Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan suddenly ran out from behind the big tree, laughing and shouting, "Haha, you can't find us!" Their voices were full of pride and joy, as if they were celebrating their victory.

Zhao Mingming smiled happily when he saw Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan. He knew he had lost the game, but he wasn't discouraged. On the contrary, he found the game even more fun because he had found two new friends.

"Haha, you guys are awesome! I'll definitely find you next time," Zhao Mingming said with a smile, his voice filled with challenge and anticipation. He knew this game could continue, and their friendship would only deepen.

So, the three friends started playing hide-and-seek again. They took turns counting, seeking, and hiding, their laughter and cheers filling the entire playground. Their figures moved across the grass, as if weaving a story of friendship and joy.

On a bench not far away, Lei Nuo, Wang Jing, and Zhao Mingming's parents sat chatting. They watched their children happily playing on the grass, smiles of contentment and happiness on their faces. They knew their children's happiness was their greatest joy, and they were willing to do their utmost to support and accompany them.

"The children are having so much fun! Watching them makes me feel younger too," Wang Jing exclaimed, her voice filled with emotion and happiness. She knows that children need the company and care of friends, and they are willing to create an environment full of friendship and joy for them.

"Yes, the friendship between children is pure and beautiful. Watching them play and grow together makes me happy," Zhao Mingming's mother echoed, her voice filled with tenderness and kindness. She watched Zhao Mingming playing with Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan, her eyes filled with anticipation and hope.

As time went by, the sun rose higher and higher, and the sunlight became more and more scorching. But the children did not seem to care about it. They were still immersed in the joy of the game, as if the whole world was only for the three of them.

Finally, when the children were sweating and panting from playing, they decided to take a break. They sat on the grass, shared the snacks and drinks they brought with them, chatted, laughed, and made noises, as if it was a beautiful painting.

"I'm so happy today! Thank you for playing hide-and-seek with me," Zhao Mingming said, his voice filled with gratitude and joy. He knew he had found two true friends, and this friendship would accompany him every step of the way.

"We're very happy too! Can we play together more often in the future?" Lei Xiaoyue asked, her voice filled with anticipation and joy. She knew that with the company of friends, life would become more colorful.
