After getting off the roller coaster.

Although he was speechless at Chi Yan's expressionless scream, Shang Lu did feel that he was having a lot of fun, and he felt as if his exhaustion had been swept away.

Except for my legs being a little soft and my heart beating a little too fast, everything else is perfect.

The experience was good, I will come again next time.

Chi Yan looked at Shang Lu again and asked her, "Do you want to ride the aerial carousel?"

In the plan, the two projects were connected together.

Shang Lu waved his hand and refused: "Next time, definitely next time."

Although this kind of exciting thing is quite fun, it is her first time after all, so she still has to be moderate.

Some exciting game projects have been reduced, and the original tight schedule has become easier.

Until the end of the last project.

According to the plan, they are going to have dinner now, and they can watch the fireworks after dinner.

It's a cute theme restaurant with a very unique park feel. Although the prices of the items inside are a bit exorbitant, it's hard not to be tempted by the cute look.

As soon as they finished ordering, they learned that the restaurant had a parent-child activity. An adult and a child could participate in a competition, and the winner would receive two themed dolls that were not for sale to the public.

This kind of activity happens every day, but the competition items are different. Today is Yanyi, which means that according to the host's requirements, they must put on exaggerated expressions as much as possible, and the combination with high recognition by the audience will win.

Shang Lu's eyes were attracted by the two cute little dolls, and he couldn't help but keep looking back in the direction of the stage, feeling a little pity. It was impossible for her to participate in this competition, and she would definitely be recognized.

Chi Yan & Xiaomi: "..."

The two looked at each other in tacit understanding and understood what the other was thinking.

Xiaomi said: "That competition... was so interesting."

How could there be such a boring competition in this world? As a primary school student, she couldn't figure it out.

"I think so." Chi Yan stood up in agreement and invited Xiaomi: "Why don't we go and participate."

In fact, it would be fine to ask Wen Renyan to give him one, forget it...he can also get it based on his strength.

Shang Lu: "!"

Shang Lu couldn't believe it: "You actually like the game of making faces?"

Xiaomi: "Yes, sister, I think it's very interesting."

Chi Yan: "...something I haven't tried before, it's quite new. "

The expressions of the two people seemed to be somewhat "self-brainwashed", which was really not convincing.

Nonsense, no normal person would want to participate in a competition like this if there were no prizes.

Shang Lu laughed out loud and understood.

She bent her eyes and said, "Thank you."

Shang Lu's words made both of them full of fighting spirit at the same time.

Must win!

Watching Chi Yan and Xiaomi team up to get their competition numbers, Shang Lu lowered his head and continued to browse the menu on his phone, hesitating whether to order another dessert.

She wants to eat cake, but this is dinner.

Don’t leave any regrets when you go out to play! Just eat a piece!

Shang Lu ordered another piece of cake, but from the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a woman passing by him fall to the ground beside him.

Shang Lu quickly stood up and went to help him, and asked, "Are you okay? Can you get up?"

"Thank you, little girl." The woman stood up, holding Shang Lu's hand, and said a little irritably: "Sure enough, I'm not suitable for wearing it. High heels."

Shang Lu then noticed that in the cold winter, the woman in front of him was actually wearing a light golden dress and a fashionable light pink hair color, but her hands were obviously saggy.

Although they are dressed young now, their owner looks to be at least in his early forties, with deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

Shang Lu felt a little surprised.

The woman smiled at her and said, "Don't be surprised, little girl. This is my personal style. My dream when I was young was to grow old beautifully like this."

"No." Shang Lu shook his head. Her focus was: "Aren't you cold?"

Most of the skin was exposed, and the indoor heating was not turned on very well, let alone the temperature outside. Just looking at Shang Lu made him shiver, but the woman looked as if nothing had happened.

"Do you want to touch it?" the woman replied, and stretched out her arm to her very familiarly.

It was obvious that there were no shivers or goosebumps. The woman was really not cold and was not forcing herself.

Strong curiosity made Shang Lu couldn't help but reach out her hand, and what surprised her even more was that the woman's exposed arm was actually much warmer than her hand.

Shang Lu was shocked.

She rolled up her sleeves a little more in disbelief and compared it with the woman again.

almost? ! All are warm body temperatures.

But she was wearing thermal underwear! And this woman is wearing a sleeveless long skirt. Is this a real human body temperature?

Shang Lu couldn't help but ask, "Are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?"

The woman smiled and answered her, "Don't worry, it's just a physical problem."

Shang Lu nodded to show his understanding.

But -

why doesn't this woman leave?

Seeing that the other party was still standing next to him, Shang Lu reminded: "There are a lot of people at dinner, and there are only a few empty seats left here."

If the woman doesn't sit down, there will be no seats left.

The most important thing is that the women's outfits are a bit out of place in this weather, and many customers are already looking in their direction.

For Shang Lu, being noticed in public is a troublesome thing.

The woman also held a dragon-seeking ruler in her hand. It was facing the direction of Shang Lu and murmured: "It's obvious that my son is here, where is he?"

Shang Lu kindly reminded: "If your son If you get lost, you can contact the staff to find it through the radio. "

It looks more reliable than the Dragon Searching Ruler. "

"No." The woman shook her head in denial, and explained to Shang Lu: "I did a fortune telling the day before yesterday. My son has been moving in the red star recently. I came to see the situation."

Shang Lu: "..."

I understand, it turns out not to be the case . To get lost is to follow.

It can be seen that this is a woman who is a bit superstitious like the Ou family.

The woman sighed, and confirmed that there was no son behind Shang Lu, and said, "It seems that the Xunlong Ruler is malfunctioning. In this case, we still need to use a more scientific method to solve it."

Shang Lu became curious again and asked: "What method?"

The woman put away the dragon-seeking ruler, took out her mobile phone, and smiled: "Of course it's a phone call."

Shang Lu: "..."

It's really a scientific method.

The woman pressed the dial and raised the phone to her ear.

The next second, the mobile phone on the table rang. Chi Yan took Xiaomi to participate in the competition and left the mobile phone here.

Looking at the word "Mom" on the caller ID, Shang Lu fell silent.

There should be no such coincidence in this world.

The woman also asked Shang Lu, "Your cell phone rang, why didn't you answer the call?"

Shang Lu looked at the woman and asked, "May I ask, what is your son's name?"

The woman replied, "Chi Yan, what's wrong?"

Shang Lu tremblingly reached out and picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Son, where are you?"

The woman's voice rang simultaneously from in front of Shang Lu and from the mobile phone she held up.

The woman lowered her head in astonishment and understood the reason why Xunlong Ruler brought her here: "It turns out it's the residual breath."

Shang Lu: "..."

Wait, her brain is a little confused.

The beautiful and superstitious woman in front of her (as if she really has something on her) is actually Chi Yan's mother.

Chi Yan's mother has basically not attended any social occasions in recent years. She is a very mysterious existence in the circle. This is also the first time Shang Lu has met her.

Chi Yan's mother looked at Shang Lu, held her hand, sat directly opposite her, and said enthusiastically: "So you are my future daughter-in-law!"

Shang Lu: "...?"

Shang Lu turned around After taking a look at the fierce competition going on, the doll was no longer important. She just hoped that Chi Yan could come back quickly to save her.

For Chi Yan, there was nothing scarier in the world than when he came back with two dolls after trying his best to win the game with Xiaomi, and saw Shang Lu sitting with his mother.

Seeing Chi Yan who suddenly stopped in place, Xiaomi asked strangely: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Chi Yan lowered his head, rubbed his eyes, and raised his head again to make sure.

Good, there's nothing wrong with his eyes.

The person sitting in front of Shang Lu was really his mother.

Chi Yan felt a little headache and couldn't understand why things turned out like this.

But there was no use in escaping. He could only step forward and ask, "Mom, why are you here?"

The moment Chi Yan arrived, Chi's mother's eyes fell on Xiaomi next to her with some horror, and she immediately turned from her He took out a bamboo tube from his bag and murmured: "That's not right, I didn't count the child."

Shang Lu immediately explained to her: "No, no, no, that's my sister."

Chi's mother breathed a sigh of relief, but He forgot his original intention of coming here and completely ignored the existence of Chi Yan. Instead, he looked at Shang Lu: "Xiaolu, I have to leave first, otherwise I will miss the plane. I will meet you for dinner next time I return to China."

"Okay ." Auntie." Shang Lu stood up and wanted to send Chi's mother to the door, but she held his shoulders and sat down again: "No need to send, you go outside to get cold, hurry up and eat."

From the beginning to the end, Chi's mother didn't say anything . One glance at Chi Yan revealed that her goal from beginning to end was just to meet Shang Lu.

So she put on that sexy and beautiful long dress and stepped into the cold outside again under the "admiring" eyes of countless guests.

Xiaomi sat next to Shang Lu, looked at Chi Yan again, and asked, "Is that my brother's mother? Isn't she cold?"

Sure enough, this is what normal people focus on!

"Yes, she is not afraid of the cold." Chi Yan answered Xiaomi's question very succinctly, then looked at Shang Lu incomprehensibly and asked, "What's going on?"

"Your mother came to see you. She was holding a dragon-seeking ruler. You found me here, and your cell phone rang. She realized that we knew her and sat down." Shang Lu briefly recounted what happened. She looked quite happy, pointing to the desserts on the table in front of her and said, "These. Auntie bought them for us."

Chi Yan was silent for a while and asked, "Were you just exchanging dessert experiences?"

Shang Lu nodded: "That's right."

Chi Yan was relieved in his heart. My mother didn't say anything strange.

But something still seems to be wrong.

Shang Lu continued: "My aunt and I are very close. Her favorite dessert shop is also the one in the west of the city. However, she complained to me that we had to queue up yesterday when we went there. She didn't know that delivery service is now available. Have you forgotten? Did you give her a membership card?"

Chi Yan: "..."

He figured out the weirdness.

My mother has always believed that anti-sugar can prevent aging, so she doesn't eat sweets at all, let alone any dessert shops.

That dessert shop still didn't provide any delivery service, and Shang Lu had the only membership card in his hand.

His mother was reminding him that she already knew everything.

"I left it at home. Maybe she didn't pay attention." Chi Yan pulled out the chair opposite Shang Lu and sat down, confirming again: "Did she really not say anything strange to you?"

Shang Lu was stunned for a moment, but still I chose to shake my head.

What could she say?

She couldn't tell Chi Yan that his mother had told her more than a dozen times, "You and Chi Yan will definitely be husband and wife." It would definitely make the atmosphere very awkward.

Shang Lu didn't really believe this at first.

Until Chi's mother gave her a fortune-telling, not only did she figure out her preferences and life experiences, but she even said, "You have been bound by something for many years. It should be this year that you finally broke free. Congratulations on having something that truly belongs to you." After "Life", Shang Lu had no choice but to believe it.

She herself is not a complete atheist, not to mention that after experiencing the awakening of consciousness, she still respects things related to "metaphysics" a lot.

Shang Lu has always believed that "my destiny is determined by me and not by God", and the feeling of being controlled was also very uncomfortable. She never wanted to bow to fate, or in other words, she was unwilling to accept fate.

But what if the other end of fate is Chi Yan?

She couldn't answer for a while.

Before Chi's mother saw Chi Yan coming, she said something to Shang Lu.

"You both have the aura of each other, are you already living together? It seems that I am about to drink the wedding wine."

Living together?

Actually not, but it seems... almost.

The relationship between her and Chi Yan has clearly exceeded the limit of friends. After being directly exposed, it will be difficult to continue to deceive oneself and others.

For Shang Lu, she has become accustomed to spending time with Chi Yan day and night on days when she is not working.

Just like now, although her mattress has arrived and most of her things have been taken home, Chi Yan's bedroom still has her favorite aromatherapy, and her home is also filled with countless items that Chi Yan is accustomed to using.

Although they are separated by a wall, it seems that they have not been so clearly distinguished for a long time.

This feeling was so strange that her heart seemed to beat faster than usual.

During this period, Chi Yan's mother asked her a question: "Do you like Chi Yan?"

Shang Lu did not answer, so Chi Yan's mother continued to ask: "Can you accept that he is as good to other girls as he is to you?

"...No!" was

the instinctive answer, but he fell silent after saying it.

Of course not.

Chi Yan said that he belonged to her.

Therefore, when she saw a girl trying to strike up a conversation with Chi Yan today, she would grab his clothes and want to declare her sovereignty.

But because he realized that he seemed to be unqualified, he contradictorily denied it after the girl asked.

Could the previous sentence "belonging to her" be a casual joke on his part? If she takes it seriously... will Chi Yan leave her one day and she will become even more lonely or even pitiful than before if she is used to having him by her side.

Chi's mother asked her the previous question again: "Do you like him?"

Shang Lu thought for a while, and her answer was: "...He never said he liked me."

She was afraid that she was being sentimental.

She was afraid that changing the status quo might not lead to better results, so she might as well maintain it.

Chi Yan's mother smiled and said, "Man, don't listen to what he says, watch what he does."

"Sister--"

It was Xiaomi's voice that brought Shang Lu back from his memories.

Shang Lu looked at Xiaomi with a smile and asked: "What's wrong?"

Xiaomi handed the cute and exquisite little doll he won in the competition to Shang Lu and said seriously: "This is for sister."

Shang Lu hugged the two The doll lowered his head and gently touched Xiaomi's forehead with his forehead, and said: "Thank you Xiaomi, sister likes it so much."

Chi Yan's voice sounded slightly dissatisfied: "Why don't you thank me? Do you know how outrageous those expressions are? "They are just making things difficult for you. My face is almost frozen."

"Yes, yes, thank you too." Shang Lu didn't look at Chi Yan when he answered, looking a little perfunctory.

She was thinking about what happened just now, but she still couldn't help but care about it.

Chi Yan also noticed Shang Lu's strangeness, and comforted him: "My mother must have said something strange to you. You don't need to take it too seriously. I haven't spent much time with her since I was a child, and she always He is running around the world saying that he wants to save the world, and occasionally he just drops a few mysterious words. "

For example, in his senior year of high school, his mother suddenly suggested that he go abroad, saying that it was a fortune-telling, and if he would still do it next time. It will be very painful at home but there is nothing you can do to change it.

Chi Yan didn't understand what his mother was talking about at the time, but he seemed to understand a little later after seeing the scars on Shang Lu's waist.

Whether it is Chi Yan or Chi Yan's father, in fact, they often cannot understand their mother/wife, and they just try to respect her decision as much as possible.

Shang Lu: "...?"

Doesn't it sound even weirder? Is she a witch or a person with super powers? Does such a person really exist in this world?

Forget it, it’s not important.

Well, not important.

Finished dinner.

They walked to the best viewing area for the fireworks.

It's half an hour until eight o'clock.

There are red lucky bags placed on small tables everywhere in the amusement park, which is also a feature of this amusement park.

Different blessing props are provided for each holiday, allowing visitors to write their wishes on square slips of paper, fold them twice and put them into red cloth bags and hang them on the tree. The staff will clean them up the next day.

This is what Shang Lu wants to do the most, having prepared a strategy before he came.

This is just a beautiful wish. Shang Lu admires the gods, but does not believe that there is anything in this world that can be obtained without any effort by making a wish.

Therefore, today she will be a "god" for once.

Shang Lu took two pieces of paper and handed them to Chi Yan and Xiaomi, saying, "Let's write them too."

They both took them, lowered their heads and started writing on the table.

It was the first time that he did such a "sneaky" thing to Chi Yan and Xiaomi. Shang Lu was a little nervous, but he did not forget to remind him: "It's best for me to make a wish that can be realized in the near future. Some things are also done by gods." Less than that."

Of course, the main reason is that she can't do it.

Shang Lu despised himself in his heart, what's going on? He didn't act well and almost told the truth by a slip of the tongue.

But seeing that Chi Yan and Xiaomi were no different, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Shang Lu shook his head vigorously and told himself not to think about what happened before.

Chi Yan suddenly raised his head and glanced at Shang Lu thoughtfully.

Shang Lu felt guilty for a moment, and immediately lowered his head and wrote his wish on the note he was holding.

She didn't seem to have any wishes.

So in the end Shang Lu wrote [I hope I will always be just myself]

Chi Yan and Xiao Mi quickly finished writing the note and folded it, and then Shang Lu took the initiative to help them put the note into a red cloth bag and tie it up. , and then hung on the tree one after another.

Shang Lu suddenly said: "The fireworks will be set off soon, I want to eat popcorn!"

The two things have nothing to do with each other.

But Chi Yan still obeyed: "I'll buy it."

Only Shang Lu and Xiaomi were left.

Shang Lu said again: "I'm a little thirsty. I want to drink water. My feet hurt so much."

Xiaomi also felt very conscious: "Sister, I'll buy some."

Looking at Xiaomi and Chi Yan leaving, Shang Lu took advantage of the tree There was no one around, so Xiaomi and Chi Yan immediately took off the red cloth bags hanging up.

Shang Lu opened Xiaomi's first. Unexpectedly, what was written on it was "I want to take a family photo with all my brothers, sisters, and parents."

The parents are Wang Rong and Xue Zishan, and the brothers and sisters naturally refer to the little annoying everyone and Chi Yan.

It was such a simple wish.

Of course she can make it happen.

Shang Lu made a note in his mind, put the note into the red cloth bag and hung it on the tree again.

She opened up her wish for a late dinner again.

She was a little worried, but after seeing the words above, she was completely stunned.

Only six simple words.

[Shang Lu is happy and happy]

Is Chi Yan’s wish actually about her?

This should be a wish that she can realize.

On the other side, behind the tree.

Chi Yan looked at Xiaomi beside him and asked, "Aren't you going to buy water?"

Xiaomi said, "You didn't buy popcorn either."

Chi Yan said directly, "She's too obvious."

Xiaomi was even a little strange. : "Yes, sister is obviously very good at acting in my house."

Just now, Shang Lu was obviously nervous, and even made a slip of the tongue. Both of them could see it, but no one exposed it.

The two people looked at each other and turned around, one to buy popcorn and the other to buy water.

*

When they came back, Shang Lu took the popcorn as if nothing had happened and took another sip of water.

In fact, I was already full. I couldn't help but eat two small cakes just now, and I couldn't eat much at all.

Shang Lu began to regret that he should have let Chi Yan buy other things.

Chi Yan took the bucket of popcorn from her with one hand, picked two and threw them into his mouth, and hugged the bucket of popcorn with one hand.

He looked ahead. There were already many people waiting here.

Shang Lu also put water into his backpack.

There are only five minutes left before the fireworks go off.

The crowd was already a little noisy. I don’t know how many people took out their mobile phones, waiting to take pictures of the beautiful moment when the fireworks bloomed.

The zero o'clock bell finally rang.

In the first few seconds, Shang Lu pursed his lips and took the initiative to hold Xiaomi and Chi Yan's hands.

She treated them somewhat differently.

When holding Xiaomi, she wrapped her hand completely, but she only gently held a few of Chi Yan's fingers.

Fireworks bloomed in the sky, dazzlingly beautiful, accompanied by the cheers of countless spectators.

However, Shang Lu felt his right hand being loosened, and Chi Yan seemed to break free from her hand.

Shang Lu was a little stunned.

The fireworks in front of her eyes were still beautiful, but her mind went blank for a short time.

Chi Yan probably rejected her.

Sure enough, even divine arithmetic cannot calculate everything accurately.

And the next second, the man's big hand passed directly between her fingers, changing from a simple hand holding to a ten-finger interlocking.

He held her hand very tightly, as if he would never let go.

Shang Lu's attention suddenly drifted.

She thought about Chi Yan's mother being able to wear a strapless dress in this weather. It seemed to be a genetic problem, and Chi Yan's hands were much warmer than hers.

The five fingers that were curled up in the air slowly fell down at this moment, sticking to his knuckles, as if in response.

Even if they were just holding hands, she seemed to hear the unmistakable heartbeat in the noise. She didn't know whether it was hers or Chi Yan's.

The five-minute fireworks ended quickly.

The romantic holiday atmosphere seems to have come to an end here, just like Cinderella's carriage will turn back into a pumpkin on time at twelve o'clock.

But Chi Yan still didn't let go.

So the carriage never turns into a pumpkin, she is his eldest lady, never Cinderella.

He whispered: "Let's celebrate every holiday together from now on."
