Chapter 123: Farewell to Yu Jingyuan

Xia Cheng still remembered what she and Yu Jingyuan had said in the garden, that she would tell him everything.

The next day, Xia Cheng took the initiative to make an appointment with Yu Jingyuan. She hadn't seen Yu Jingyuan much since he was discharged from the hospital. She only knew that he was busy with his own cases. Now that they were meeting, Xia Cheng, with selfish motives, took him to the amusement park.

Except for weekends and holidays, there are not many people even in famous amusement parks.

Xia Cheng bought the tickets in advance, and the two of them rented a park bus. She took the initiative to take on the responsibilities of driver and looked around with curiosity.

"This is my first time at the amusement park," Xia Cheng said, smiling. It was her first time, so she hoped it would be with Yu Jingyuan.

"I haven't been to amusement parks very often, but I happened to be here once."

"And Xun Mo?" Xia Cheng immediately guessed that Xun Mo was the only girl in their group.

Yu Jingyuan shook his head, and the corners of his eyes curved down.

"I have a cousin. When I first started college, her parents were busy, so they sent her to my house. I really didn't want to help her with her homework, so I took her out to play for several days in a row. She got tanned, and now she fights with me whenever she sees me, saying it's all my fault for taking her out that she's so tanned now."

"Is it really dark?" Xia Cheng wondered.

"It's actually not that bad, but girls love beauty, and with all the jokes from the relatives around, she became quite persistent."

When talking about his family, Yu Jingyuan was always gentle. Xia Cheng thought of a post she'd read online, which said that loving parents, raising children in love, would lead to emotional stability. Although Xia Cheng had never met Yu Jingyuan's parents, she could tell from their conversation, behavior, and personality that they were well-mannered and happy.

She winked and joked, "Then today I will avenge your cousin and get you tanned too."

Yu Jingyuan's skin color is lighter than that of most boys, and he deliberately stretched his arms into the light.

"Then I can't let your wish go unfulfilled."

After entering the park, there were so many people that the tour bus could not move.

Yu Jingyuan and Xia Cheng were strolling in the garden. Xia Cheng was staring at the map worriedly and asked:

"Are you afraid of heights?"

He shook his head and pointed at the name of the device on the map.

"Want to do some trapeze?"

Xia Cheng nodded honestly.

"How about we play a little game?" Yu Jingyuan reached out and helped her brush the stray hair out of her eyes. "Whoever asks for the most projects today gets to buy dinner."

"Okay!" Xia Cheng had never tried it before and knew nothing about the dangers of these high-altitude projects, so she agreed readily.

The two lined up and boarded the plane. After the rotating ascending project reached its highest point, Xia Cheng completely regretted it.

Yu Jingyuan turned his head to look at her tightly closed eyes and screamed first. Xia Cheng immediately opened her lips and screamed. He smiled and screamed every time she screamed.

Xia Cheng could only breathe after getting off the equipment. She closed her eyes and seemed to hold her breath while spinning at such a high altitude. She felt extremely uncomfortable, but also a little excited. She had never been to such a high place before.

"I want to play more!" She jumped up and ran towards the pendulum.

Yu Jingyuan saw her lips dried by the wind at high altitude, and chased after her with a bottle of mineral water.

"Wait a minute, drink some water!"

After playing with the stimulating equipment for about a whole morning, Xia Cheng's voice became hoarse from shouting. She wore light makeup today, so the makeup didn't come off much, only her hair was a little messy.

The same goes for Yu Jingyuan. Both of their hair looked like they had been damaged by a car.

Both of them had their backs to each other and adjusted their appearance for a while before turning around.

Xia Cheng gulped down the water.

"Well, did you count? Who of us yelled the most?"

"It should be me." Yu Jingyuan was carrying Xia Cheng's bag, not being modest. "But I'm not afraid at all."

"Me too!"

Yu Jingyuan always has a subtle sense of humor that makes Xia Cheng smile like a flower.

"What should we play now?" She looked around and saw the carousel.

The temperature was still low today, so even though it was already noon, the two people who were blown by the strong wind were not hot.

"Let's eat after we finish this." Yu Jingyuan suggested.

Xia Cheng had never been to an amusement park, but she felt a little embarrassed when she saw it was full of children.

"Forget it, let's go eat."

"But I want to sit on it." Yu Jingyuan narrowed his eyes and pointed at the tallest white horse. "I haven't played this before. Will you accompany me?"

Xia Cheng felt itchy in her heart and wanted to play too. When she heard Yu Jingyuan say that, she immediately nodded.

The two of them got on the carousel, but Yu Jingyuan gave the biggest one to Xia Cheng and sat in the pumpkin carriage himself.

"I'm a prince." Xia Cheng lifted up her off-shoulder pink sweater and acted reassuringly.

"Then I am the princess." Yu Jingyuan adjusted the non-existent hem of her skirt.

The carousel was very boring, just spinning in circles and listening to the same old music. After Xia Cheng got off, he did not forget to help his princess up.

"Be careful, Princess Yu Yu."

Hearing the nickname she gave him, Yu Jingyuan laughed, looked down at her, his eyes fell on her long and curly eyelashes, his heart was filled with bubbles, and he took her hand and got off the carousel.

The two of them had been rubbing arms against each other all morning, and only now did they actually hold hands.

There was a special restaurant in the park, and Xia Cheng didn't realize it until she was seated and let go of Yu Jingyuan's hand. She felt a little embarrassed.

However, she quickly ordered the food and put this little emotion behind her.

After all the dishes were served and before the meal officially started, Yu Jingyuan asked about the confusion that had been plaguing him for the past few days.

"Why did you jump off the balcony that day?"

Xia Cheng asked him out because she wanted to talk about this matter. She promised to tell him and also told Yu Jingyuan that she was relieved.

"Talk while you eat." Xia Cheng served him the food and asked, "If one day you found out that someone close to you was taking advantage of you, what would you do?"

Yu Jingyuan was stunned, but still answered seriously.

"If it's benign and can benefit both of us, I shouldn't be too angry."

"What if it's malicious? It's like... they took advantage of you without considering your feelings or your consequences."

Yu Jingyuan thought for a while and asked:

"Does he have any difficulties?"

Xia Cheng opened her lips slightly, not knowing how to respond when she heard this.

Yu Jingyuan continued, "If he had his reasons, I'm not angry about him taking advantage of me, but about him not being honest with me. I think that if someone could take advantage of me, they must be someone close to me. When dealing with people, trust is the most important thing."

"If he has his own difficulties... forget it, let's not talk about this." Xia Cheng didn't know what to say. When she first started taking advantage of Yu Jingyuan, they were just strangers. Later, their relationship became closer and closer. She had no idea how to be honest. Besides, even if she was honest, the other party might not help her. This was indeed a trust issue.

Hearing Yu Jingyuan say this, she was silent for a while, firmed up her inner thoughts, and then changed the subject.

"Actually, there was a reason why I jumped off the balcony that day."
