Chapter 143 "Sister Jia will keep it a secret for you." (Side CP route)

The drop tower stopped, and the safety latches automatically popped open.

Zhu Wan's throat was dry, and the intense feeling of weightlessness was still throbbing in her blood vessels. Her feet felt weak as she stood on solid ground.

Do you feel nauseous?

Fang Qibai turned his head to look at her, and his gaze fell into her still-shaken eyes.

At such close proximity, their breaths were still rapid, as if they had been thrown from a great height.

The surrounding noise of people and machinery receded like a tide, leaving only the warmth of fingertips touching skin.

Zhu Wan's heart pounded uncontrollably in the same rhythm.

Yi Jia and Qiu Chen both looked at the two people's clasped hands.

Just as Zhu Wan was about to shake her head, she met the gazes of Sister Jia and Brother Chen, and subconsciously looked at the hands that she and Fang Qibai were still holding.

Two hands, one large and one small, were clasped together, as if they had been twisted into a knot by the fear of sudden rises and falls.

Where their palms touched, sweat and pulse mingled, creating a burning sensation.

Her heart felt like it was on fire, and she quickly let go of his hand.

Fang Qibai's gaze fell on the pale lips as his palm was suddenly empty.

Zhu Wan bit her lip, her cheeks burning.

Qiu Chen noticed the little girl's trembling eyelashes and thought she was frightened, so he spoke in a softer voice, "A-Yuan, are you alright?"

Zhu Wan curled her fingertips slightly and nodded to Chen Ge.

Yi Jia smoothed Zhu Wan's wind-blown hair. "Wan, we won't be taking you to do anything this exciting anymore."

Fang Qibai walked over, took out his backpack, took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Zhu Wan.

The moment Zhu Wan took the mineral water bottle, a baseball cap was gently placed on her head.

It blocked the scorching sun.

Her thank you was very soft and low.

Fang Qibai didn't hear clearly, but he saw the little girl's lips move. He lowered his head and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What?"

The moment Zhu Wan looked up, she met his calm gaze.

She hurriedly took a sip of water, "...Thank you."

Fang Qibai raised the corner of his eye slightly, "You're welcome."

Yi Jia thought Zhu Wan hadn't recovered yet, and seeing that she was holding the mineral water bottle but not drinking from it, he handed it back to Fang Qibai.

"Sister Jia will take you to ride the carousel."

While queuing for the carousel, Yi Jia saw a passing child holding an ice cream cone, his eyes fixed directly on Qiu Chen and Fang Qibai behind him.

Qiu Chen dragged Fang Qibai to buy ice cream.

Zhu Wan was sitting on the rocking horse when she heard Sister Jia tell her to look at the camera, so she made a peace sign at Sister Jia.

Yi Jia laughed uncontrollably, "Ah Yuan, you're making a peace sign in every single photo, try something different."

Zhu Wan's heartbeat gradually calmed down after Fang Qibai and Qiu Chen left.

Yi Jia raised one hand above his head and made a heart shape with his fingers for her.

Zhu Fan imitated Sister Jia's actions, raising both hands above her head to make a heart shape.

When she saw Qiu Chen and Fang Qibai return with ice cream, her gaze was momentarily distracted.

Qiu Chen held up ice cream cones with both hands and made a heart shape with his hands towards Zhu Wan.

Zhu Wan smiled and tilted her head at Chen Ge.

Yi Jia captured this moment with his camera.

They got off the carousel, and the ice cream Qiu Chen was holding had melted.

Yi Jia slowly ate his ice cream, glancing at Fang Qibai, who was surrounded by a group of girls who wanted to take pictures with him.

Qiu Chen, with an ice cream cone in his mouth, was already used to this scene.

"Gou Bai has been popular with young girls and small animals since he was a puppy."

Speaking of small animals, he smiled and told A-Yuan, "I named that little dog that was biting the white dog's pants leg by the trash can half a month ago.

Fang Qibai kept the West Highland White Terrier in the rented house.

Zhu Wan asked which character "tun" it was.

Yi Jia leaned close to A Yuan's ear and said, "Your brother Chen's butt was bitten hard by that little dog, so he named it that, intending to get revenge."

Zhu Wan blinked.

Qiu Chen pulled Yi Jia aside and showed A Yuan a photo of the clean and healthy puppy.

"This name is uncommon, so it's unlikely to be shared by many people."

Zhu Wan stared at the puppy photo on Chen Ge's phone. It was no longer dirty and unrecognizable. Its tangled fur had been combed out, and its wounds had been properly treated.

"It has become more beautiful."

Qiu Chen laughed, "Gou Bai took good care of you."

"The day before yesterday, it chewed up one of Dog White's limited edition new shoes. Dog White wasn't angry at all. If it were me, I would definitely have punished it."

The sight of Zhu Wan and Qiu Chen huddled together, heads down, looking at a picture of a puppy and talking, made Yi Jia thoughtful.

Fang Qibai walked over, and Yi Jia stroked his chin as he spoke to him, "Do you think A-Yuan likes Chen'er?"

A-Yuan just made a heart shape with her hands towards Qiu Chen, which was natural and affectionate. Every time she looks at Qiu Chen, her eyes are bright and gentle, and she seems very dependent on him.

Her mind raced. Ah Yuan's beautiful, grape-like eyes looked bright and gentle at everyone.

She suddenly remembered that A-Yuan had said she had someone she liked.

Could it be Qiu Chen?

Fang Qibai looked at the little girl who was speaking with her head down in the sunlight.

The sunlight fell just over her shoulders, dappling her eyelashes with golden light. A gentle, soft smile played on her lips.

The moment Zhu Wan looked up, she realized Fang Qibai was watching her, and her breathing unconsciously became a little lighter.

Before Fang Qibai could speak, Yi Jia had already dismissed the idea.

The two of them simply have a brother-sister relationship.

After resting enough, Yi Jia dragged Zhu Wan to play on all the gentle rides in the amusement park.

Even when Qiu Chen was standing on flat ground, he felt a dizzying sensation as if he were being gently spun around.

He clung to Fang Qibai like an octopus.

Fang Qibai glanced at him. "It's hot."

Qiu Chen let go of him, his steps faltering.

Yi Jia looked at the sweat on his forehead and said, "You don't have heatstroke."

Zhu Wan quickly helped Chen Ge, who was unsteady on his feet.

The next second, Qiu Chen, who was about to lean on Zhu Wan, was pulled away by Fang Qibai.

Qiu Chen clung to Fang Qibai again, pressing his weight onto him: "Dog Bai, I'll let go of you in three minutes."

Yi Jia led A Yuan into the hairband shop. "A Yuan, pick one, and I'll give it to you."

The store has air conditioning, Qiu Chen was able to stand steadily, her vision no longer blurred, and her head was no longer dizzy.

He casually picked up a Mini headband and held it up to Zhu Wan, saying, "Wan, take off your hat and try this on."

Zhu Wan took off her hat and bowed her head in front of Chen Ge.

When the little girl lowered her head, a sliver of gentle white hair shone through the gaps in her hair.

Fang Qibai looked away and picked up a yellow headband.

Qiu Chen let her try on a few more, and hung the ones she was satisfied with on her arm.

He casually grabbed the Winnie the Pooh headband that Fang Qibai had chosen and put it on Zhu Wan's head: "These all look good on you, I'll take them all."

Zhu Wan looked at the price tag on the headband and said, "168 yuan is too expensive, and I can't wear it normally."

“Your brother Chen isn’t short of money. We won’t make a choice; we’ll take them all.”

Zhu Wan insisted on choosing only one.

Yi Jia was also holding a bunch of hairbands, suffering from decision paralysis. She thought Zhu Wan would look good in any of them, so she discussed with Zhu Wan, "The three of us will each give you one."

This way you can choose three.

"Sister Jia, just one is enough."

Yi Jia asked her which one she wanted to choose.

Zhu Wan pointed to the one she was wearing on her head.

Yi Jia chose a Mini headband and handed the camera to Fang Qibai, saying, "Take some nice pictures of us."

Zhu Wan had a great time and a lot of fun that morning.

She instinctively made a peace sign at the camera.

Yi Jia made a heart shape with her hands, and Zhu Wan quickly changed her gesture to make a heart shape with both hands.

Fang Qibai set up his camera, a smile playing on his lips: "Ready?"

Qiu Chen wore the same headband as Zhu Wan in the photo.

While Qiu Chen and Yi Jia were arguing over who would pay for the headband on Zhu Wan's head, Fang Qibai had already taken out his phone to scan the QR code.

After lunch, Yi Jia insisted on taking Zhu Wan home.

Inside the car, Yi Jia smiled and glanced at A Yuan, who was taking the headband off her hair to take a picture.

The little girl always looked focused and serious, no matter what she was doing.

It's so soft and comforting.

“Ah Yuan, Sister Jia knows who you like.”

The headband that Zhu Wan had just picked up suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Yi Jia slowly brought the car to a stop in front of the zebra crossing, turned her head, and looked at him with a gentle yet firm gaze. "I'll tell you my name, and you just need to nod or shake your head." She paused, then softened her voice, "Sister Jia will keep it a secret for you."

Fang Qibai.

As she uttered those three words, Zhu Wan nodded lightly but honestly to Sister Jia.
