After tidying up their belongings and opening the door, Wendy and Sara saw a car stopped outside and Derek standing next to it.
Sara's face changed. She asked, "Why are you here?"
"Why didn't you tell me that you were going to move today? I'll drive you there. " Dropping the cigarette in his hand, Derek came over to pick up the luggage and put it in the trunk of the car.
Sara opened her mouth slightly and wanted to say something. But she just sighed and said nothing.
Wendy stared at Derek angrily. He hadn't appeared in their life for many years. She almost forgot him.
Why is he here today? Did he keep in touch with her mother secretly these years?
Wendy asked with a frown, "How do you know we are moving? You spied on us? "
Hearing the word "spy", Sara turned pale. She shook her head and said, "Wendy, don't say that. Your Uncle Derek helped us out of kindness."
Derek hesitated for a moment, then he gave an unnatural smile, "I had something to deal with in the town today, and heard that someone was discussing about your moving, so I drove here. Time is almost up. Let's go. "
Avoiding Wendy's gaze, Derek sat on the driver's seat and asked, "Has Wendy still been carsick these years?"
"She was still car sick. Carsickness medicine has already been used, but it's no use." Sara sighed.
"Wendy, it seems you did a good job on your study! You got the first place in the high school entrance exam to be admitted to No.1 High School! " Sensing Wendy's hostility, Derek changed the subject to build a good relation with her.
But as soon as she got into the car, Wendy was very uncomfortable. She didn't listen to Derek at all.
She closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair, forcing herself not to think about the past. But the images of the past jumped out of her mind uncontrollably.
Looking at her daughter's painful face, Sara felt sad.
Derek sped up the car. After a long journey, they finally arrived at the city.
The house that Sara rented was equipped with a complete set of furniture. They only needed to do a simple cleaning.
Bess had already registered at the school. She lived at the school. The new semester hadn't begun yet, so she didn't have any restrictions.
No sooner had her parents left than Bess excitedly came to invite Wendy to the temple fair. With cotton candy in each hand, they walked to the riverside.
"Wendy, why don't we buy a sugar figurine to eat?" Bess pointed at a stall not far away and said excitedly.
Looking at the place where Bess pointed, Wendy realized that she was referring to "sugar-coated figurines". Anyone could spin a roulette giving the stallholder 5 cents. The roulette could stopped at any animals, and the stallholder would use sugar to make the animal's figurine. Sugar, usually red, white sugar and a little malt sugar, were mixed in a furnace and boiled with bluish fire. When it was done, it could be used to make a figurine.
"Aren't we having marshmallow? Now we eat sugar figurines? Aren't you afraid of too much sweetness? " Said Wendy with a smile.
"I like sweet food best. How could I get afraid of it?" Then Bess took Wendy's hand and led her to the stall. "Wendy, I must be the lucky one today. Guess if I can make the roulette stop at the dragon! Don't stop. Dragon, dragon, I want the dragon! "
"Come on!" Taking a bite of her cotton candy, Wendy looked aside.
