Unspoken Bonds

Alexander carried a backpack and walked in front, while Amelia originally intended to persuade Alexander to rest at home. However, now she followed behind the man who kept coughing, looking like a little wife who had done something wrong.

The others saw that Alexander had also come along, and there was no surprise on their faces.

Ryan saw that Alexander had also come out and was a little worried.

Although Alexander was indifferent to people, this was his idol. Under the filter of being a fan, all the indifference turned into foam.

So he still couldn't help taking the risk of disturbing his idol's pursuit of the girl and walked to Alexander's side, concernedly saying: "Teacher Alexander, are you okay? If you don't feel well, I can carry it for you."

It was only twenty catties, and Alexander could carry it effortlessly, so he didn't reply.

And the little girl who had just been listlessly following behind, upon hearing Ryan's words, immediately strode forward and agreed: "Yes, yes! If you can't do it, give it to someone else. We won't laugh at the patient."

Alexander suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Amelia, narrowed his long and narrow eyes, and said meaningfully: "Little Amelia, it's better not to question your brother."

Who couldn't manage it?

"... Oh, okay." Amelia nodded inexplicably.

Only then was Alexander satisfied. Then he looked at Ryan and said calmly: "Thank you, but I think I can handle it."

Ryan nodded with a silly smile and scratched the back of his head. He always looked like a fool in front of his idol.

He walked back to Leah's side. Leah glanced at Alexander, and the man was still as indifferent as ever. 

She withdrew her gaze and asked Ryan with concern in her eyes: "Ryan, is Teacher Alexander okay?"

Ryan shook his head and smiled friendly: "He's fine."

The sunny big boy was friendly to everyone, as if he had no scheming.

Leah glanced at Alexander again and said casually: "Since Teacher Alexander is sick, why did Amelia let him carry it? Twenty catties is not heavy."

Ryan frowned slightly imperceptibly and disagreed: "Amelia is a girl. How could Teacher Alexander let her carry it."

Moreover, how could his idol be willing to let the little girl he liked carry it.

Several people walked together on the rural cement road. In the early morning, the wind was relatively cool and not so hot. After these two days, everyone was almost used to the conditions in the countryside, and now they felt that the environment here was quite nice.

Even Ian, who had been the loudest at the beginning, carefully carried the fragile eggs and sang happily.

His voice was very pleasant. When he sang, people couldn't help focusing all their attention on him. No wonder so many girls liked him so much.

The photographer who followed their group recorded this scene.

And the usually lively Amelia classmate did not go to join in the fun because she was very guilty at this time and didn't have the extra attention to listen to Ian sing.

The abnormal attitude of Alexander today made Amelia extremely guilty. She scratched her tawny curly hair and didn't know why. Obviously, before, she thought Alexander was too willful and didn't know why he was still angry!

But now she began to vaguely reflect on herself, as if she really had wronged someone.

Alexander walked in front and found that the little girl was one or two steps behind him. He stopped, reached his hand back, accurately caught the little girl's soft hand, and brought her to his side.

The cameraman who followed them didn't miss this action and recorded it in the camera. The cameraman with a small bun looked at this scene in the camera, as if pink bubbles were surrounding him. Then he remembered the director's instructions and shook his head regretfully. It's a pity that this couldn't be broadcast, otherwise there would be no need to worry about the ratings!

This movie star too. Everyone in the behind-the-scenes team could see that he came to this show with ulterior motives. He was so blatant, yet was he still afraid that the audience would know?

It's a pity that such a good shot had to be deleted. The cameraman shook his head as he watched.

Amelia was pulled by Alexander and suddenly came to her senses, looking at Alexander blankly.

Seeing that the little girl was obviously in a daze, Alexander couldn't help patting Amelia on the back of her head and asking: "What are you thinking about?"

Amelia was very honest: "I'm thinking about why you are so angry!"

Her father often said at home that a woman's mood was like the weather forecast, inexplicable. Looking at Alexander today, she would go back and refute Mr. Charles, obviously a man's mood was like the weather forecast.

Alexander raised his eyebrows and pretended to suddenly realize: "Then has Amelia figured out why?"

Amelia's eyes were blank for a moment and asked uncertainly: "Is it because I didn't call you and wanted to complete the task by myself?"

The reason why she was uncertain was that she thought that a movie star wouldn't be so childish. Wasn't this unreasonable?

Hearing this, Alexander looked at her appreciatively and said with relief: "Fortunately, you're not too stupid."

Amelia: "..."

She was choked for a moment, and then looked at Alexander with a "parent looking at a naughty child" expression.

Brother Alexander, you are a movie star! How can you be so childish?

She thought to herself and also made herself call him brother. Obviously, he was so immature.

Alexander noticed the strange look in Amelia's eyes and frowned slightly. Then he narrowed his eyes dangerously: "What is Amelia thinking about again?"

Amelia's eyes turned and she quickly shook her head, denying it: "I'm not. I'm not thinking about anything." Only a fool would admit it.

Alexander looked at her distrustfully and then straightened his expression, looked at Amelia, and seriously instructed: "Amelia, in the future, no matter what you do, you can't leave me behind."

Probably the only thing he inherited from that woman was the terrible possessiveness. However, he was not her, and he would not hurt his little girl.

But he still hoped that when the little girl had something, she would only think of him.

Amelia blinked her eyes and seemed to understand why he was angry before.

She also nodded seriously, smiling with curved eyebrows: "Okay! I will call you along in the future."

"Oh." Alexander looked at her. Although his expression remained unchanged, there was a smile in his eyes.

Several people walked for more than half an hour and finally reached the town. Almost at the same time, they all let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing the bustling town, several people were very surprised. They thought there wouldn't be many people in the town.

Amelia was very excited and stood on tiptoe to look at the crowd.

Ian was a little curious and uncomfortable about so many people gathered on the not very wide street.

He couldn't help asking the others: "Why are there so many people here?"

Amelia raised her hand very actively and said: "I know, I know. Today must be the market day."

"Market day?" Ian looked at Amelia blankly.

Before Amelia could explain, Lydia next to Ian looked at him with disdain, with an expression of "Are you stupid".

Ian got angry: "Hey, what's that expression on your face, Lydia?"

Lydia shrugged and answered his previous question: "On market day, in rural areas, there are fixed times, for example, every 2nd, 5th, 8th, 12th, 15th, and so on. On these fixed days, they will go to the town to buy what they need."

Ian suddenly realized, but looked at Amelia and said with a smile: "So there is such a thing."

He was about to invite the little girl to go shopping together after buying things.

Lydia coldly said again: "It's because you have little experience. Why don't others know?"

"You——" Ian gritted his teeth and looked at Lydia. This must be the legendary bad teammate!

Always making mistakes and causing trouble for the team, hum!

Lydia met his angry eyes, raised her eyebrows, and felt inexplicably pleased.

It was so much fun to see this guy get angry.

Ian took a deep breath and said unconvinced: "I don't believe I'm the only one who doesn't know."

He looked at Ryan and them and raised his chin proudly and asked: "Ryan, do you know?"

Ryan and Leah nodded at the same time and said naturally: "Yes, we know!"

After that, Leah couldn't help laughing twice and gave Ian a way out, saying: "Ian's family must be very rich. If so, it's quite normal not to know this."

Lydia automatically ignored her words and looked at Ian, looking smug.

Ian looked frustrated and turned his head to the side. He thought angrily, since it was already said, of course everyone would know.

Amelia looked at the lively street and was already eager to run out and play, but they still had tasks to do.

So looking at the others playing and joking, she said very actively: "Let's find a place to buy things quickly! Otherwise, if we can't sell them all, we won't have anything to eat."

Ian immediately spoke up: "Yes, yes, let's sell things quickly." He was more active than in any previous task.

Several people immediately took action. They found a crossroads where people from three roads passed by, and the flow of people was the largest.

There were stalls everywhere, and several people finally found a small open space. They spread a layer of cardboard on the ground and placed the things from the three groups separately.

After setting up, several people sat behind their stalls and quietly watched the people passing by their stalls.

Because they were recording a show here, there were quite a few people gathered around their stalls out of curiosity. But no one came to buy things.

However, because Amelia was a mixed-race with foreign features, which were rarely seen in rural areas. Especially her tawny eyes with a hint of dark blue, people passing by would stop to take a few more glances.

But the little girl sat there quietly at this time, and her natural noble aura was out of place here. So even though they were curious, no one went up to ask.

Alexander was very unhappy with these gazes, and his eyes became more and more gloomy. He simply couldn't bear to let the little girl be looked at by others.

He turned to look at Amelia, but the little girl was heartless and seemed unaware.

Because of curiosity about Amelia, someone finally came to ask her what they were doing.

Amelia immediately explained enthusiastically: "We are selling peanuts! Five yuan per catty. The peanuts are big and plump, super delicious. Uncle, do you want to buy some?"

The person looked at the surrounding cameras, seemed to have some concerns, smiled and shook his head, and then left.

Seeing the person leave, Amelia pouted in frustration, picked up a peanut from the bag, and put it in her mouth, saying: "Why didn't he buy it?"

Seeing her action, Alexander frowned and reached out to take the peanut from her hand, looking at Amelia: "It hasn't been washed. You can't eat it."

Amelia was already unhappy, and now she wasn't allowed to eat it. She sulked and ignored him, and picked up another peanut from inside, ready to put it in her mouth.

Alexander quickly took that peanut away again and punished her by slapping the little girl's white and tender hand, warning her with a look.

Amelia turned her head to get angry. But what she saw was that Alexander's face was still pale, looking sick, and covering his mouth to cough. She instantly calmed down. She wouldn't argue with a patient.

She looked at Alexander twice and suddenly her eyes lit up. She knew how to sell it.
