Chapter 31

Zhong Mengyuan and Chen Qinglin, one entrusting something seriously, the other agreeing solemnly, as if they were carrying out some strange handover ceremony. Yin Mu was a little amused: "Hey, I'm telling you two——"

Zhong Mengyuan interrupted her: "Alright, alright, Lu Zilin and I will go line up, you guys can play for a while downstairs."

Yin Mu looked at the backs of Zhong Mengyuan and Lu Zilin, sighed helplessly, and turned to look at Chen Qinglin: "Then let's find a place to sit down and wait for them."

Chen Qinglin nodded and asked, "Okay, do you want something to drink? I saw a milk tea shop."

"Really? I didn't notice that."

"Then let's go. It's not too late to pay attention now."

Yin Mu hesitated: "But they won't be able to find us if they come down."

Chen Qinglin looked at the tourists queuing and said, "They'll probably have to wait for ten minutes, plus the time they spend up there. We'll be back soon."

"Well... okay, I'll just bring them a cup when I come back." Yin Mu convinced himself without any psychological struggle, and went to find the milk tea shop with Chen Qinglin.

What's with Zhong Mengyuan's feeling of being entrusted with something?

[Zhong Mengyuan, did you do this intentionally or on purpose?]

[No, I see. In fact, Zhong Mengyuan's true love is a roller coaster! ]

[Great, now we're acting alone.]

【What a coincidence, I just ordered a cup of milk tea too! 】

…

Following his unclear memory, Chen Qinglin took Yin Mu to the milk tea shop.

The milk tea shop is not big, with only three or four tables inside, all of which are full of people. After ordering milk tea, they simply sat under the parasol outside the shop.

Yin Mu took a sip of the cold pearl milk tea and squinted his eyes comfortably: "Well, I'm alive again. It turns out that you have to drink ice in the summer."

"Be careful of stomachache."

Yin Mu didn't care: "Don't worry, my stomach is very strong, I have been drinking like this and it's okay."

Chen Qinglin shook his head: "In any case, be gentle to yourself. It will be terrible if you regret it when something goes wrong."

"Oh? You seem quite experienced."

Chen Qinglin denied it, saying, "No, it's just based on some basic common sense."

"Okay, okay." Yin Mu thanked him perfunctorily, "Thank you for your kind reminder. I will pay attention next time."

The two drank milk tea and chatted casually. Yin Mu rested his face on his hands, feeling drowsy, his voice becoming weak. "I really don't understand what the production team is thinking. They don't take advantage of the three great seasons of spring, autumn, and winter, but insist on recording the show in the summer. We're getting sunburned."

"Hasn't spring been used?"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, 'Haruhi Monogatari' is the first season, didn't you know?"

Of course Yin Mu didn't know.

"It's better not to know about this kind of thing."

"Well, yes, there's really no need to know."

Yin Mu tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then asked curiously, "Chen Qinglin, why don't you just focus on acting and instead come to participate in a dating show?"

Chen Qinglin asked back: "What about you?"

Yin Mu was naturally not stupid enough to tell the truth here, so he said: "Of course I want to have a sweet love."

[Really? I don't believe it.]

[This kind of unthinking answer is often false! ]

[This is hilarious. How did Yin Mu manage to lie without batting an eyelid?]

[Don't lie to Chen Qinglin, he will take it seriously! ]

[How come everyone is unanimously convinced that Yin Mu is lying, even though I think so too hhhh. ]

…

Chen Qinglin obviously didn't believe Yin Mu's words and questioned, "Really?"

"Don't you think so?"

Chen Qinglin said frankly: "Not really."

Yin Mu was speechless and looked around: "Don't change the subject. It was obviously me who asked the question first, so you should answer my question first."

Chen Qinglin glanced at the cameraman and said, "I'm not in a position to speak directly."

"Then you can embellish it."

Chen Qinglin didn't let go: "Later, I'll tell you when I have the chance."

Yin Mu snorted and turned his head away: "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I don't really want to know anyway."

“…”

After a moment of silence, Yin Mu felt bored again and asked for something to talk about: "Chen Qinglin, what do your parents do?"

Chen Qinglin was silent for a long time, then said calmly, "They have all been dead for more than ten years."

Yin Mu's pupils dilated, and the hand holding the cup tightened unconsciously. He looked up at him stiffly: "Yes, I'm sorry."

Chen Qinglin's tone was calm: "It's nothing, you didn't know, I can't blame you."

Although it was not intentional, Yin Mu could not help but feel guilty for bringing up someone's sad story. At the same time, she also had more questions to ask, such as how his parents died, who he grew up with, whether he had a hard childhood, and so on. Fortunately, her emotional intelligence and rationality were still online, so she did not ask these presumptuous questions.

Chen Qinglin also remained silent, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.

After a few minutes, Chen Qinglin looked at the watch on his wrist and said calmly, "Let's go. We should go back to find them."

Yin Mu pursed his lips: "Well, then I'll go buy two cups of milk tea, wait for me."

[Ah, this, is this true?]

[It should be true, who would joke about something like this? ]

[Isn't that an orphan? Chen Qinglin is so miserable.]

[No wonder he has a melancholic temperament. I feel pity for him.]

【Yin Mu, comfort him quickly! 】

…

Yin Mu bought milk tea and returned to the roller coaster with Chen Qinglin. Along the way, no one said anything except necessary communication.

As soon as they returned, Zhong Mengyuan and Lu Zilin had just finished a new round. The two of them walked to the shadow where they were standing, talking and laughing, obviously having a great time.

Seeing Yin Mu and Chen Qinglin, Zhong Mengyuan inexplicably felt that the atmosphere between them was weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird, so he narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

Yin Mu handed them the milk tea: "It seems we came back at the right time. Drink it quickly, it's still cold."

"You still have milk tea? Thank you." Zhong Mengyuan took the milk tea and took a big sip, then asked, "Where did you buy this?"

Yin Mu pointed and said, "It's not far from the garden gate."

Zhong Mengyuan responded casually, gulping down a few mouthfuls: "This is sugar-free milk tea, right? It has no taste at all."

"Just make do with it. My half-sugar drink is bland, and I even ordered seven-tenths sugar for you."

Lu Zilin continued, "If it's too sweet, I'll be thirsty. This is just right. Thank you."

"You're so polite." Yin Mu waved his hand and asked, "Have you had enough fun? Can we move on to the next project?"

"Let's go." Zhong Mengyuan took Yin Mu's arm, "What should we play? Pirate ship, big pendulum, bungee jumping machine are also good, what do you think?"

Yin Mu grumbled quietly: "You have quite a lot of targets."

Zhong Mengyuan replied confidently: "It's a rare opportunity to come here, so of course I have to have a good time."

What surprised Yin Mu was that Lu Zilin's interests were highly consistent with Zhong Mengyuan's. The two hit it off immediately and completely took control of the passive her and the easy-going Chen Qinglin.

Under their "instigation", the four of them tried all the exciting projects. As the closing time was approaching, they discussed which project to end their trip to the amusement park with.

Zhong Mengyuan finally decided to ask Yin Mu for his opinion: "What do you want to play?"

Yin Mu had just gotten off the U-shaped skateboard, his legs and feet feeling weak. He could only put aside his pride and beg for mercy: "I can't do it anymore. Can't we do something gentle to end it? Like a carousel or something?"

Zhong Mengyuan clicked his tongue: "Look at how little you can do."

Yin Mu curled his lips: "Yes, yes, you are the best, who dares to compete with you?"

[Hahahaha, why is Yin Mu being so sarcastic?]

[After half a day, Yin Mu looked visibly haggard.]

[Honestly, Zhong Mengyuan's stamina is incredible. Why doesn't she seem tired at all?]

[I never thought that Zhong Mengyuan and Lu Zilin could play together.]

Compared to Zhong and Lu, Yin Mu and Chen Qinglin are completely indifferent people.

…

With Yin Mu's strenuous efforts, Zhong Mengyuan reluctantly compromised, but still refused the carousel, a primary school project, and only agreed to replace it with a Ferris wheel.

Chen Qinglin, who had been listening quietly, suddenly said, "I won't ride the Ferris wheel anymore. I'll wait for you guys downstairs."

Zhong Mengyuan's eyes widened in surprise. "Why? It can't be a fear of heights. How can you be afraid of a Ferris wheel if you're not even afraid of roller coasters?"

Chen Qinglin didn't explain much: "This is the project I won't participate in. You guys just go and have fun. I'll wait for you."

Yin Mu said, "Then I won't play anymore. I'm tired anyway. - Meng Yuan, you and Lu Zilin can play whatever you want."

Chen Qinglin looked at her in surprise: "You don't have to do this for me."

"Who said it was for you?" Yin Mu denied it and said, "I am indeed tired and want to have a good rest. There is a barbecue waiting for me when I return to the villa."

Zhong Mengyuan only remembered after she reminded him: "Yes, didn't Mengmeng ask us to go back early? Isn't it better for us to go back now?"

"It won't take a while." Lu Zilin said gently, "If you want to play, don't worry. Let's finish it quickly."

"Forget it, let's go back." Zhong Mengyuan thought for a moment and said, "It's already unfair enough for the four of them to be stuck in the villa and unable to go out. Now they have to wait for us to eat with empty stomachs. It's too miserable."

Lu Zilin smiled and nodded: "Okay, then let's go home."

Yin Mu couldn't help laughing and teased Zhong Mengyuan: "It's rare for you to be so considerate."

"Go away! You're mocking me." Zhong Mengyuan pushed her gently and said, "So, is this our happy decision?"

No one objected, so they didn't stay any longer and walked towards the garden gate together.

[At this moment, the four people in the villa sneezed at the same time.]

【Killing people and destroying their hearts, Zhong Mengyuan.】

Even if no one else said anything, Zheng Wei would definitely be the first to cry. (Laughs)

[I still can't understand why Chen Qinglin is afraid of the Ferris wheel. Ferris wheels are so romantic.]

[The joys and sorrows inside and outside the villa are not the same.]
