Everyone raised their glasses, the cheerful laughter filled the entire street, and the distant green hills peaked from the rooftops, enveloped in the afterglow, pulled into the hustle and bustle of the world.
The kids, having eaten their fill, left the table to play nearby.
Evelyn Winter was pulled by Ginny and Hilary to kick the shuttlecock.
He originally didn't want to play girls' games, but since Hannah told him to try, he gave it a shot.
Turned out, he kicked it better than they did.
Seeing how well he played, Da Niu also wanted to kick, but accidentally sent the shuttlecock flying onto his dad's head.
Then he got his butt spanked by his dad, who was holding him by the collar.
Da Niu's dad, just like Da Niu's nickname, was very robust, with a bald head, looking quite fierce, especially when spanking Da Niu, scaring the other kids away.
Only Evelyn Winter stayed behind.
With tears and snot on his face, Da Niu was moved, "Evelyn, you really are my best friend."
