Chapter 118
On Friday, my Aunt **Amelia** suddenly called me and said their company was organizing a trip to a scenic area, and her colleagues were bringing their children. Since my cousin was away at college, she wanted me to join for some fun.
I was a bit speechless.
Most of **Amelia’s** colleagues were much younger than her, and their children were mostly elementary school students. Wasn’t I just going to end up taking care of those kids?
It seemed like I was about to become a babysitter.
But **Amelia** was nice to me, and she just wanted to spend time with me, so I couldn’t refuse.
With a resigned feeling, I went on the trip with **Amelia**.
On the large bus, I sat alone in a corner at the back, watching the ten-year-old kids playing around, feeling helpless. "We don’t have any common topics! I might as well close my eyes and take a nap." I thought.
After about two hours on the bus, we finally arrived at our destination.
It was a scenic area with forests, lakes, and some amusement facilities, artificially placed in the midst of nature, looking quite out of place.
When we got there, I realized it wasn’t just **Amelia’s** company, but employees from various big companies in the city were also participating.
The park management office’s vast parking lot was filled with buses, and a bustling crowd, predominantly women, streamed out from each one.
