Chapter 90 (First Release)

As Lin Ruowei thought this, the muscles in her face twitched, and she couldn't help but feel a sharp pain and itchiness, so she quickly covered her cheek again.

Ning Wanwan and Lin Ruowei walked towards the entrance. Ning Wanwan glanced at Lin Ruowei a few more times and couldn't help but ask, "This is...?"

Could it be that he was beaten up by Jiang Chengran?

If that's the case, then Ning Wanwan needs to seriously consider whether she'll get beaten up too... after all, she's offended Jiang Chengran so much.

"A stinky moth suddenly landed on my face, and this is what happened. I guess it's an allergic reaction," Lin Ruowei said irritably, her expression full of misfortune.

Ning Wanwan: "..."

Lin Ruowei's tone was full of anger and complaints. She glared at Ning Wanwan for some unknown reason, and then grimaced as if her face was itchy and painful.

Ning Wanwan was somewhat bewildered, wondering how she had offended the vicious female supporting character again, and she also felt a little amused. How miserable.

However, even in this disheveled state, Miss Lin still insisted on watching over Jiang Chengran and staying by his side.

Ning Wanwan truly admired her perseverance once she set her sights on a goal.

However, moths

Needless to say, it must be one of those mutated moths that the system mentioned.

Ning Wanwan glanced at Lin Ruowei's face again, sighing at the increased toxicity of moths nowadays, and feeling somewhat fortunate that she had been quick enough to avoid the moth in time and prevent it from hitting her eyes.

Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't be able to see anything right now, and if I lost the ability to move in this huge amusement park, then I would be doomed.

Following the flow of people into the Ferris wheel's gate entrance, Ning Wanwan

Jiang Chengran stopped, snorted, turned around, and stared at Ning Wanwan: "You, come with me."

Ning Wanwan didn't really want to be with Jiang Chengran; she preferred to act alone.

When she was with Jiang Chengran, Ning Wanwan had a feeling that she would be closely watched.

"I want to ride the Ferris wheel alone... Jiang, what about you and Lin..."

Before Ning Wanwan could finish speaking, Jiang Chengran's face darkened completely. He grabbed her wrist and gave a low shout.

"Ning Wanwan! Do you think I'm being too lenient with you?"

"What do you take me for!"

Ning Wanwan: "..."

Ning Wanwan's wrist was gripped tightly. She tried to shake it off a couple of times but couldn't; instead, the boy held it even tighter. She subconsciously looked up at Jiang Chengran.

The red-haired boy's handsome, fair face was flushed with anger. He gritted his teeth, his cheeks puffed out, veins bulged on his forehead, and the fierceness he had managed to suppress earlier resurfaced in his eyes, along with a faint crimson hue.

Clearly, he was furious at Ning Wanwan's words.

"Do you really think I won't lay a hand on you?" His tone was extremely cold, as if the ferocity was squeezed out from between his teeth. "I don't have any gentlemanly habits."

In Jiang Chengran's eyes, there is no distinction between men and women, only between the strong and the weak. Anyone who dares to provoke him as the weak would have been beaten to a pulp long ago.

In other words, the current peaceful rules can still barely restrain him.

Moreover, given his status, few people would dare to truly provoke him.

Ning Wanwan is the only person who has broken his principles time and time again.

She deceived him, toyed with him, and even though he had already given her a chance, she still tried to push him to someone else several times... Her misdeeds were numerous and too many to list.

Jiang Chengran had never realized she was so good-tempered.

I might as well just grab her and take her back. That way, she won't be able to go anywhere, and she'll have to obey me and rely on me completely. That way, she won't have the mind or the guts to do these things to mess with me.

With the power of the Jiang Group, he could easily have done it.

The crimson in Jiang Chengran's eyes grew even darker, and those thick, dark thoughts that he hadn't considered before began to surface one by one.

Ning Wanwan felt like her wrist was about to be crushed. Tears slowly welled up in her eyes as she murmured softly, "It hurts..."

The girl seemed to lack confidence because of his anger; her voice was so soft and weak that it seemed as if a slight breeze could extinguish it.

Jiang Chengran seemed to awaken from a dream.

He let go of Ning Wanwan's hand.

A very noticeable red mark appeared on the girl's slender, fair wrist.

Ning Wanwan took a deep breath and quickly pulled her hand back. With her other hand, she rubbed her wrist through her clothes to relieve the pain.

"..." Jiang Chengran pursed his thin lips, furrowed his brows deeply, and looked impatient and irritable. "Does it hurt a lot?"

Ning Wanwan: "It's alright..."

Actually, it wasn't that painful. Jiang Chengran definitely held back; otherwise, if he had used all his strength, he definitely wouldn't have been able to save his hand today.

The main reason was that Ning Wanwan was a little frightened by Jiang Chengran's reaction.

For a moment just now, she felt extremely dangerous. Jiang Chengran's gaze was just too... Ning Wanwan couldn't quite describe it.

In short, she felt that under those gazes, she was like a small animal about to be captured by a wild beast, its neck being bitten and dragged back to its den.

Driven by this dangerous intuition, Ning Wanwan subconsciously spoke up, trying to interrupt the situation.

Fortunately, she succeeded.

Even if she succeeded, Ning Wanwan didn't know what to do next to calm Jiang Chengran down.

She didn't even understand why Jiang Chengran would get so angry over simply asking to ride the Ferris wheel alone, almost making her hallucinate the image of the red-haired boy's out-of-control rampage in the dark room of the Jiang Group.

She had been coldly telling me she was going to get revenge when she ordered me to buy ice cream.

At that time, Ning Wanwan genuinely believed that Jiang Chengran was seriously trying to find a new way to take revenge on and torment her.

Even though she didn't understand, Ning Wanwan still had to bite the bullet and try to calm the ferocious beast that was about to go out of control.

However, after I told him it hurt, Jiang Chengran seemed to calm down a bit, which showed that we could communicate now, and he wasn't as unresponsive as he was back when I knocked him unconscious at the Jiang Group.

So, he should still be able to listen when you talk to him.

What should I say?

Ning Wanwan knew that in this situation, many people could say nice, sweet things to make people happy, but Ning Wanwan opened her mouth, and that inexplicable embarrassment made it impossible for her to say anything.

So after trying to move her lips but failing to make a sound, she could only continue speaking in her usual tone and manner.

“Jiang,” she said slowly, carefully organizing her thoughts, “actually, I prefer the Ferris wheel at night. I just have some things to think about right now, and I want to experience riding a Ferris wheel alone during the day…”

Jiang Chengran didn't speak, but his scarlet eyes flickered, and his gaze fell on her, as if waiting for her to say something next.

Ning Wanwan paused, pursed her dry lips, and continued, "If you'd like, how about we ride the Ferris wheel together again tonight..."

When she said this, Ning Wanwan was actually quite unsure whether Jiang Chengran would be willing to ride the Ferris wheel with her. She wasn't even sure if Jiang Chengran's current anger and loss of control was really because of what she said about not riding the Ferris wheel with him.

The girl's attempts at comforting words would likely seem utterly ridiculous to those who are more eloquent and articulate.

Such an ordinary sentence, delivered with no change in tone—it's practically flat, even hesitant and lacking in confidence—lacks any charm or immediate concession. And then you have to wait until evening? How many people can be truly comforted by that?

Ning Wanwan could sense this as well, which made her even more hesitant.

Jiang Chengran stared at her for a while longer, his expression fierce and irritable, like a powerful predator eyeing its trembling prey.

Ning Wanwan tried her best to suppress her instinct to avoid his gaze and gave him a small smile.

This is already the limit of what Ning Wanwan can take initiative on.

However, Ning Wanwan wasn't lying. She did indeed prefer to ride the Ferris wheel at night. So, although it was mainly Ning Wanwan's suggestion to appease Jiang Chengran, she herself wasn't opposed to it.

Moreover, by nightfall, the destruction of the East District will surely be resolved. If it isn't, then the East District is doomed, and no one will need to think about riding the Ferris wheel anymore.

Perhaps sensing that Ning Wanwan was telling the truth and not lying to him, the dark red in Jiang Chengran's eyes gradually faded.

He frowned and nodded reluctantly and reservedly.

"You said it yourself. If you dare to lie to me again..."

"I'm not lying to you," Ning Wanwan quickly said.

Jiang Chengran crossed her arms and snorted coldly without saying a word, but her eyes clearly said to her—little liar.

Ning Wanwan: "..."

Even after boarding the Ferris wheel, Ning Wanwan was still sighing inwardly, filled with doubt and guilt.

"Does Jiang Chengran mean that this is... over?"

"I really don't understand. I feel like I haven't said anything, and I try to stay silent as much as possible, so why do they always seem to be so easily swayed by my words..."

Ning Wanwan has always considered herself to be quite cautious and speaks very carefully.

system:【……】

The host's emotional intelligence is too low.

Even though I am a non-human creation, my emotional intelligence is much higher than that of my host.

Of course, it may also include part of the host's subconscious desire to escape reality. After all, the host is still unwilling to admit that the "love at first sight" halo is working, and doesn't even want to mention it.

The host wanted to bury his head in the sand in this regard, and the system naturally wouldn't expose him, indulging the host's little bit of willfulness.

However, sometimes the system would feel a strange pity for the host who tried so hard to hide himself in a corner—the poor, naive host who thought that by covering his eyes and ears and maintaining the same attitude as before, he could continue to live an ordinary life.

On one hand, they deeply offend the other party, and on the other hand, they manage to appease them using the most clumsy methods in the world. The host breathes a sigh of relief because they've managed to fool them in the moment, but they can't see what this really means—

The undisturbed, ordinary life she longed for was simply impossible.

The host doesn't understand this.

Of course, a system that cares about the host's mental health would not choose to shatter her illusions.

Otherwise, leaving the host in a state of prolonged anxiety would be considered the system's greatest dereliction of duty.
