Chapter 30

After agreeing on a date location, the foursome had lunch early, rested for a while, and then set off. In order to facilitate the movement, Yin Mu also changed into jeans and canvas shoes.

Lu Zilin took the car keys and said to Chen Qinglin, "Let's divide the work. One of us will drive when we go out, and the other will drive when we come back."

Chen Qinglin nodded: "I have no problem. Zhong Mengyuan, what about you? Aren't you planning to drive today?"

Zhong Mengyuan refused and said, "No, no, I'll just trouble you two today."

Lu Zilin raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What? Was it Zhong Mengyuan who drove you when you went on your date yesterday?"

Zhong Mengyuan tilted her head and looked at him: "Yeah, is that not possible?"

"No, don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant." Lu Zilin hurriedly explained, "It's just that I rarely encounter this kind of situation, so I was a little surprised."

“Stereotype, isn’t it?”

Lu Zilin thought for a moment and said, "Really? Okay, I apologize to you."

Zhong Mengyuan waved her hand: "No thanks, no thanks, it's not necessary."

The four of them joked around for a while and then set off. Chen Qinglin drove the car, Lu Zilin sat in the passenger seat, and Yin Mu and Zhong Mengyuan sat in the back seat.

Along the way, the four of them chatted casually about random things, and the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.

When they arrived at the amusement park, Zhong Mengyuan's spirits became visibly high. He grabbed Yin Mu's hand and headed straight for his favorite roller coaster.

Yin Mu grabbed her and said with a smile: "Why don't you ask other people's opinions? You always rush forward without thinking."

"Oh, sorry, sorry." Zhong Mengyuan apologized perfunctorily and asked Chen Qinglin and Lu Zilin, "Excuse me, are there any activities you two would like to try?"

"I'm fine with that. I'll just play along." Lu Zilin put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the winding track of the roller coaster. "Speaking of which, I've always been curious about what's so magical about roller coasters? Why do so many people love them?"

"You don't like it? Then we can play something else first."

Lu Zilin denied it: "No, I don't dislike it, but I'm not that keen on it."

Zhong Mengyuan was unconcerned: "It's a normal thing. It's not RMB. How could everyone like it?"

Lu Zilin smiled in agreement: "You are right, let's start with the roller coaster."

Yin Mu listened to them talking, smiled, and asked Chen Qinglin: "Is this a project you are not participating in?"

Chen Qinglin shook his head: "No, it's okay, I can participate."

"Are you sure?" Yin Mu pressed. "If you're afraid of heights, you don't have to participate. Don't try to be brave."

“…I don’t think I ever said I was afraid of heights.”

"No, you didn't say it, but you didn't refute it when Meng Yuan said it. Besides, I can't think of anything else to be afraid of in an amusement park." Yin Mu came over and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that you are afraid of ghosts, so the first thing you thought of was the haunted house?"

"no!"

"Okay, okay, if it's not true then it's not true." Yin Mu saw his reaction and didn't ask any more questions. "Anyway, if you're not feeling well, tell me. Don't hold it in."

Her eyes were full of concern, and Chen Qinglin felt a warmth in his heart. He smiled and said, "Okay."

[No, then what are you afraid of, Chen Qinglin?]

[It's hilarious how Yin Mu stealthily asks Chen Qinglin if he's afraid of ghosts.]

[Yin Mu never forgets to pay attention to Chen Qinglin, she has him in her heart! ]

[A devoted roller coaster enthusiast here! I ride it at least twice every time I go.]

[Seriously, roller coasters are super stress-relieving, highly recommended!]

…

Since it was not a holiday, there were not many tourists in the amusement park, and it was their turn after waiting in line for a short time.

There were exactly four people in a row, Yin Mu and Zhong Mengyuan sat in the middle, and Chen Qinglin and Lu Zilin sat on both sides of them.

The staff helped them fasten their seat belts and checked again diligently to confirm that there were no safety hazards.

Yin Mu hadn't had fun for a long time and was feeling very nervous. To divert his attention, he asked Zhong Mengyuan, "Did we ride a roller coaster together last time? Do you remember when it was?"

Zhong Mengyuan thought for a moment and said, "The spiral roller coaster? I remember I went there during the summer vacation after I graduated from college." Then he joked, "If you went to other rides with others without telling me, then I don't know."

"Yes, yes, that's it. I haven't played it since then." Yin Mu took a deep breath. "I'm so nervous. I hope I won't vomit."

Zhong Mengyuan shrugged his nose and said, "Just don't spit in mid-air, or you'll get blown all over by the wind."

"Ugh." Yin Mu patted her with a look of disgust, "Stop talking, it's disgusting."

Zhong Mengyuan was dissatisfied: "You said it first, okay!"

"Okay, okay, no one is allowed to say anything from now on!" Yin Mu put his finger to his lips and made a zipper gesture.

"……childish."

Lu Zilin listened in on the entire conversation and jokingly said, "It feels like listening to two elementary school students arguing. This is how you usually get along."

Zhong Mengyuan said: "Her IQ is that of a three-year-old, so I just give in to her."

Yin Mu was full of questions: "Huh? Say it again?"

【Hahahaha, this is just like a fight between elementary school kids.】

[I testify that it was you, Yin Mu, who started it!]

[You two childish ghosts, I think you two should stop making fun of each other.]

[This is so funny, Zhong Mengyuan, you're not that mature at all.]

[Yeah, yeah, Yin Mu is three years old, and you are four.]

…

There was no more time for Yin Mu and Zhong Mengyuan to bicker. The roller coaster started slowly. Yin Mu's heart instantly rose to his throat. He took a breath of cold air and was about to call Zhong Mengyuan's name, but he was choked by the air before he could say it. He coughed twice.

Zhong Mengyuan looked sideways at her, raised an eyebrow, and extended his hand toward her, his meaning clearly saying, "Please be merciful and lend me your hand."

Yin Mu puffed out his lips and held her hand back as the roller coaster whizzed down in the wind.

The sounds of the wind and the shouts of tourists were intertwined in her ears. Yin Mu closed her eyes and felt the wind blowing on her face. The feeling of weightlessness made her feel as if she was being swung around in the air. She could temporarily put aside all thoughts and completely relax her body and mind.

The roller coaster climbed to the highest point of the entire track, paused for a few seconds, and then dived down rapidly.

Yin Mu almost couldn't catch his breath, and unconsciously squeezed Zhong Mengyuan's hand tightly. Finally, he couldn't hold it in and screamed.

The next second, Zhong Mengyuan's voice was distorted by her, and she shouted through gritted teeth: "Yin, Mu!"

Yin Mu shuddered and quickly reduced his strength to avoid being beaten by her later.

After passing the highest point and two small turnarounds, the roller coaster entered the last relatively stable track and finally stopped smoothly at the end.

Yin Mu's body had returned, but his brain had not. He sat in his seat, unable to recover for a while, with his bangs blown by the wind and sticking to the sides of his face, looking a little embarrassed.

Zhong Mengyuan raised their clasped hands and said with a forced smile, "Your hand is quite strong, Yin Mu."

Yin Mu immediately let go of her hand, smiled and apologized: "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" Then he stood up servilely and went to support Zhong Mengyuan, "Come on, let me help you down."

Her head was still a little dizzy, and she lost her balance. The armrest of the chair blocked her and she fell backwards uncontrollably.

"ah!"

Chen Qinglin was sitting at the outermost edge and was the first to leave. He turned around when he heard the sound and quickly supported Yin Mu's back, holding her up: "Be careful!"

Yin Mu stood firm with the support of Chen Qinglin, his heart still beating violently.

Zhong Mengyuan was also frightened by this unexpected situation. She hurried over to help her and asked nervously, "Are you okay?"

Yin Mu calmed himself down and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

Zhong Mengyuan was relieved to see that she was fine, and poked her forehead: "You can even trip while walking, what else can you do?"

"Oh, please stop talking about me. I'm still dizzy." Yin Mu dodged her fingers with a bitter face and thanked Chen Qinglin again, "Thank you, Chen Qinglin."

Chen Qinglin shook his head: "It's my duty. I'm glad you're okay."

[Damn, that just scared me.]

【Luckily, Chen Qinglin reacted quickly.】

[After playing this kind of stimulating game, it is best to take a few minutes to cool down before standing up.]

[When Zhong Mengyuan meets Yin Mu, she acts like a sister.]

[It was as if I saw my good friend, she always nags me like this.]

…

Zhong Mengyuan got off the roller coaster, still wanting more: "I want to ride it again, and the rabbit wants to ride with me again."

"Huh?" Yin Mu hadn't played such a difficult game in a long time, so she wasn't used to it and wanted to give herself some time to adjust. On the other hand, she was also worried that Lu Zilin and Chen Qinglin might have their own ideas and wouldn't be happy to play with them. So, she hesitated and suggested, "Why don't we go play something else first and come back to ride the roller coaster when we have time."

Zhong Mengyuan's expression was somewhat reluctant: "Eh - is this really necessary? But I came here just for this."

Yin Mu was feeling awkward when Lu Zilin spoke up at the right moment: "It just so happens that I also feel that it's not enough and want to play again. If you don't want to play, Yin Mu, I'll accompany Zhong Mengyuan."

"May I?"

"Of course." Lu Zilin nodded with a smile and asked Zhong Mengyuan, "You don't mind if I temporarily replace Yin Mu, right?"

"You are so kind, of course I don't mind." Zhong Mengyuan looked at Yin Mu, frowned slightly, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I just feel a little dizzy." Yin Mu gestured, indicating that it was really just a little bit. "Don't worry, I'll just sit down and rest. I'll be back to full health in five minutes."

Chen Qinglin said, "I don't want to play anymore. I'll wait downstairs with you."

"Hey? No need, if you want to play, go ahead and play. I'll just wait for you guys."

Chen Qinglin said firmly: "No, I feel more at ease with you."

A knowing smile appeared on Zhong Mengyuan's lips: "In that case, Chen Qinglin, I will temporarily leave Yin Mu in your care. Please take good care of her. Thank you very much."

Chen Qinglin agreed seriously: "Okay."
