Chapter 339 A Vast Sea of ​​People

The entire afternoon was filled with laughter and relaxation.

Compared to the awkwardness and caution she felt in the morning, Su Mairou felt much more relaxed.

She discovered that when she made up her mind to treat Mo Yan only as a friend, firmly told herself not to consider marriage or get involved in a relationship, and left herself no possibility, she was able to get along with Mo Yan more naturally.

As dusk deepened, the last rays of the setting sun bathed the fairytale castle in a golden glow.

"Mom, I'm hungry," Duoduo whispered, holding Su Mailou's hand.

"It's time for dinner," Su Mailou said, glancing at the time and turning to Mo Yan. "I see a themed restaurant on the park map nearby. Shall we go there to eat?"

Mo Yan nodded: "Perfect! After dinner, we can find a good spot to wait for the fireworks show. It's a classic Disney attraction; Duoduo will definitely love it."

"A fireworks show?" Duoduo's eyes lit up. "Will it be beautiful?"

Mo Yan leaned down to meet the little girl's gaze: "Of course she's beautiful, so beautiful you'll forget to speak. Imagine the entire night sky becoming a stage for fireworks, with all sorts of colors blooming under the stars, like a grand party in the heavens."

Duoduo jumped up excitedly: "I want to see! I want to see!"

The restaurant's decor is also full of fairytale charm, with murals of various classic Disney scenes on the walls, and the chairs and tableware are designed in the shape of cartoon characters.

Duoduo ate the Mickey Mouse-shaped fried chicken, occasionally exclaiming in surprise: "Mommy, I also want to eat that pudding that looks like Cinderella's glass slipper!"

Su Mairou smiled gently: "Okay, but you have to finish the vegetables on your plate first."

Mo Yan felt a warm current well up in his heart as he watched the interaction between the mother and daughter.

He loved the warm, family-like atmosphere, loved Su Mailou's gentle yet firm demeanor as a mother, and loved Duoduo's innocent smile.

He hadn't experienced such a scene in a very, very long time.

He became an orphan after his parents left.

After dinner, Mo Yan checked the time: "The fireworks show is about to start; we need to hurry and find a good spot."

They arrived at the square in front of the castle, where a large number of tourists had already gathered, all there for the upcoming fireworks display.

"There are so many people!" Duoduo nervously grabbed her mother's hand.

Mo Yan looked around and found a relatively open area: "The view over there is good, let's go over there quickly."

They struggled through the crowd and finally found a decent spot to watch the show.

As the time drew nearer, more and more people filled the square, and the air was filled with a joyful yet tense atmosphere.

"Uncle Mo, I can't see!" Duoduo jumped up, trying to get past the crowd in front of her.

Mo Yan hesitated for a moment, then turned and squatted down: "Duoduo, do you want to sit on Uncle's shoulders? That way you can see better."

The little girl nodded happily, and Su Mailou quickly helped to place her daughter steadily on Mo Yan's shoulders.

"Sit tight, hold on tight," Mo Yan instructed, gripping Duo Duo's legs firmly with both hands to prevent her from falling.

"Wow! So tall!" Duoduo exclaimed, her little hands tightly gripping Mo Yan's hair, then she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Uncle Mo, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pull your hair."

Mo Yan chuckled: "It's alright, as long as you like it."

Su Mailou stood aside, watching Mo Yan carry her daughter without complaint, giving her the best view, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.

This man is so patient and loving towards Duoduo, just like... just like a real father.

Suddenly, all the lights in the square went out, and the crowd gasped in surprise.

In an instant, the first huge firework burst into the night sky, illuminating the entire park.

Then, more fireworks rose into the sky, outlining dazzling patterns against the dark night sky.

Red, gold, blue, purple... all sorts of colors intertwine in the air, accompanied by rousing music, giving people the feeling of being in a fairyland.

"Wow! So beautiful!" Duoduo cheered excitedly on Mo Yan's shoulder, pointing her little finger to the sky, "Mommy, look at that! It looks like a big flower!"

Su Mairou looked up at the dazzling fireworks in the sky, her face beaming with a happy smile.

At that moment, she felt as if she had returned to her childhood, to that carefree age full of dreams.

Just then, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

After hesitating for a moment, she took out her phone and saw a message from Lin Manlin: "I'm already on my way back to Disneyland, I'll be there in about twenty minutes. Where are you guys?"

Just as Su Mairou was about to reply, a commotion in the crowd interrupted her.

As the fireworks display reached its climax, more tourists surged forward, hoping to secure a better viewing spot.

She was pushed hard and almost fell.

After replying to the message, Su Mailou looked up again and was shocked to find that she could no longer see Mo Yan and Duo Duo.

There were too many people, and she was pushed backward by the crowd, losing her sense of direction.

"Mo Yan! Duo Duo!" she tried to call out, but the loud music and cheers of the crowd drowned out her voice.

Su Mairou's heart jumped into her throat.

She hurriedly dialed Mo Yan's number, but he didn't answer. She knew that in such a noisy environment, Mo Yan probably couldn't hear the phone ring at all.

The crowd continued to surge, and she was pushed and shoved, staggering through the sea of ​​people, trying to find Mo Yan and Duo Duo.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see them.

"Excuse me, please make way!" Su Mairou tried to squeeze through the crowd, but to little avail.

Her heart was beating faster and faster, and her breathing became rapid.

Reason told her that it was safe for Duoduo to be with Moyan, and it didn't matter if they couldn't find her; everyone would eventually be able to return to the hotel safely.

But the sense of panic inside me grew stronger and stronger.

Su Mairou stood there, feeling dizzy.

She was surrounded by laughing crowds and dazzling fireworks overhead, but she felt isolated from the joy, standing alone in the cold darkness.

This feeling is all too familiar—insecurity, the fear of abandonment, and uncertainty about the unknown.

When I was struggling with whether or not to get a divorce, every night was filled with these emotions.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Calm down, Su Mailou, calm down." She silently repeated in her heart, "They are safe. Mo Yan will take good care of Duoduo."

However, the unease in my heart grew stronger and stronger.

In this unfamiliar city, amidst such a strange and crowded crowd, she felt incredibly lonely.

The more anxious she became, the less she could find anyone, and this sense of despair almost suffocated her.

Finally, the phone vibrated again, and the screen showed that it was Mo Yan calling.

She answered the phone hastily, but the surroundings were still noisy, and she could barely hear what the other person was saying.

"Mo Yan? Where are you?" She tried to raise her voice, but the other person's reply was drowned out by the noise.

"...I can't find you...Duoduo is very worried...Where are you?" The fragmented words came from the phone.

"I don't know either!" Su Mairou was almost crying. "I was being pushed around by the crowd, and now I don't know where I am!"

It feels like being kidnapped by the crowd; you're surrounded by people, but you can't find a sense of belonging.

Mo Yan hung up the phone, and a moment later, Su Mailou received a message: "Turn on WeChat location sharing, stay where you are, I'm coming to find you."
