He was currently checking a compass, even though they were going to a well-marked public park.
Then, there was the arrival of "The Rattler."
Yuanfeng's ancient car pulled up with a dramatic cough-bang and a puff of smoke that made Yuanying cough into her silk handkerchief.
From the passenger side emerged the highlight of the morning: The Matching Visibility Hats.
Huaijin and Yuanfeng both stepped out wearing identical, neon-orange bucket hats with small, spinning propellers on top.
"Safety first!" Huaijin announced, hopping out of the car. Her outfit was a masterpiece of "Researcher Chic", denim overalls with eighteen pockets (all filled with notebooks, magnifying glasses, and snacks) and bright yellow rain boots, just in case they found a puddle.
Yuanfeng, the hidden Business Emperor, adjusted his propeller hat with a look of absolute pride. "Optimal visibility achieved, Huaijin! The probability of us getting lost has decreased by 94.2%!"
