Shen Xingchen took a long time to calm down before speaking: "Hey, don't scare me. Shouldn't there be no ghosts in this world?"
"Huh?" Shen Xingsui finally realized what she meant, then chuckled and said, "Yeah, it's good that there are no ghosts."
Wen Shenge, who was standing next to him, had already emerged from the shadow of the haunted house. He took a bottle of water, twisted off the cap, and said, "Actually, it's not so bad if there are ghosts. Think about it, if there are ghosts, then the relatives who died of anger have not really left, but are accompanying us in another way."
Shen Xingchen disagreed: "What's the use of companionship that can't be seen or touched becoming a ghost? If he's so capable, let him be reborn."
Shen Xingsui paused, his gaze falling meaningfully on his brother, and chuckled, "If you're so afraid of ghosts, you'd be scared to death if you were really reborn."
"No way!" Shen Xingchen reacted quickly. He leaned over, took the remaining half bottle of water from Shen Xingsui's hand, took a couple of sips, and casually put his arm around Shen Xingsui's shoulder, smiling brightly: "I'm overjoyed. He's not some ghost, he's family."
Wen Shenge retorted, "If such a miraculous thing as coming back from the dead really existed, why would it be your turn?"
Shen Xingchen made a face at him: "Why can't it be my turn? I can always trade something for it."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Tuya curiously leaned over and asked, "So what would you offer in exchange?"
"My handsome face? No way, my allowance? No way!" Shen Xingchen muttered to himself for a few moments, then clapped his hands and said, "Just let me go from being a top star to an ordinary handsome man in the entertainment industry!"
Wen Shenge burst into laughter after hearing this: "You're so proud of yourself, calling yourself a top influencer."
Shen Xingsui's eyelashes trembled slightly. He first smiled gently, then looked at Shen Xingchen, whose eyes were slightly red.
The group joked around for a while before Tuya finally snapped out of it and said, "Let's ask the staff if they have any invitations? None of the water roller coasters we rode before had them."
Only then did everyone realize the key point.
They jogged over to the staff to inquire about the invitation, and the staff replied, "Invitation, is that right? Yes, we have one."
Everyone was all smiles, but before they could even celebrate, they heard a staff member say, "The invitation we have here is a Warrior's Invitation. The ball in the Fairy Tale Kingdom warmly welcomes the bravest person, and this invitation will be given to the bravest person who was just inside."
Everyone was stunned.
A staff member took out a bright red sword medal and pinned it on Shen Xingsui, saying, "This is your invitation. Please come to our ball tomorrow."
Shen Xingsui was also surprised: "Does this count as receiving an invitation?"
The staff member smiled and said, "Of course."
When everyone saw that Shen Xingsui had received the invitation, they were filled with regret, realizing they had acted too cowardly in the haunted house.
Wen Shenge suggested, "If we go into the haunted house together again, will we get another invitation?"
Shen Xingchen decisively said, "You go if you want, I'm not going."
"We can only unlock one badge per area," a staff member kindly reminded everyone. "There are many other attractions in the park, so please feel free to explore them."
It means there are other opportunities.
Now everyone relaxed a bit. Only Shen Xingsui from their two groups got the medal. The other two groups also ran into each other. Fu Jinxiao and Teacher Li, and Xu Qinke and Feng Fan's groups had just come down from the pirate ship domain. Feng Fan vomited as soon as he got off, and Xu Qinke next to him was also pale.
Fu Jinxiao took a bottle of water to rinse her mouth and then helped Teacher Li next to her catch her breath.
Teacher Li, panting, said, "It was so, so exciting..."
Seeing that he was alright, Fu Jinxiao walked over to a nearby staff member and asked, "Hello, do you have an invitation?"
"Yes," the staff member replied. "The ride we just experienced mainly tested the riders' quick thinking and physical strength. We will send an invitation to the smartest student. Please accept this medal."
A green book-page medal was brought up from behind and respectfully pinned on Fu Jinxiao by the staff.
Ms. Li, who was behind them, complained, "So those of us who aren't smart can't go to the dance?"
"Of course not," the staff member said with a smile. "There are many other attractions inside the park, so please explore them with enthusiasm."
It was already close to lunchtime, and everyone was hungry even if they wanted to explore. The amusement park was huge, and there was a considerable distance between each ride. At least their group hadn't encountered anyone else yet.
Xu Qinke suggested, "Let's find a place to get something to eat."
Teacher Li was the first to nod: "I agree."
Since no one had any objections, they naturally decided to go together. They found a chain fast food restaurant that sold hamburgers and fries that both adults and children liked. This was good for young people, but older people like Fu Jinxiao and Teacher Li preferred solid food.
Teacher Li said, "There seems to be chicken rice over there, let's eat that."
Fu Jinxiao nodded. Just as the man was about to leave, the entrance of the fast food restaurant suddenly caught his attention. The door itself wasn't anything special, but what really caught his eye was the standee at the entrance. The standee was a poster for the variety show "Starlight," along with life-size standees of each guest.
But the shopkeeper seemed to have put a lot of thought into it; he put Fu Jinxiao and Shen Xingsui's cartoon standees together, and also sold small cartoon toys.
Teacher Li also saw it: "It must be a collaboration between the program team and this amusement park. But you know what, it's quite fun, though it's mostly for kids..."
As Fu Jinxiao walked over, there were several children playing around the standee. The man squatted down and smiled, saying, "Little friends, where did you get your folding fans and standees?"
The children all answered.
Fu Jinxiao returned satisfied after receiving the answer.
Teacher Li asked curiously, "What did you ask them?"
"It's nothing, let's go in and eat." Fu Jinxiao pointed to the fast food restaurant: "They have some good set meals, you can try them."
Teacher Li quickly said, "Aren't we going to eat chicken rice?"
Fu Jinxiao changed her previous attitude, pushed open the door and slowly walked in, saying, "It's good to change things up once in a while."
Teacher Li: ?
This is not what we agreed on.
After the two of them went in, Xu Qinke and Feng Fan followed them in. When they saw Fu Jinxiao and Teacher Li ordering food, the two of them came over to greet them warmly.
Fu Jinxiao waved to them: "Come on."
The two people leaned closer and looked at their senior with curiosity.
Fu Jinxiao pointed to the set meals on the table and said, "Order, it's on me."
The two were flattered and grateful for their senior's kindness. They had originally wanted to eat other things, but seeing that their senior was treating them, they couldn't refuse, so they quickly ordered two dishes and said with great gratitude, "Thank you so much, we are so grateful."
Fu Jinxiao smiled and said, "Of course."
While no one else understood it, only the viewers in the live stream were amused:
"He's not some senior who takes care of you."
"He just wants to collect cards."
"Hahahaha, I'm eating hamburgers just to collect the cards."
"As expected of you, Teacher Fu!"
By evening, almost all the groups had finished their tasks. At the end, the amusement park had a beautiful parade of floats. Teacher Tuya was invited to be a lucky audience member and dance as a princess, and she received a medal in the end.
On their journey, Shen Xingsui and his group encountered two other groups.
Everyone was as excited as if they had finally met after a long march. Shen Xingsui walked to Fu Jinxiao's side, like a child who had just come home from kindergarten and was showing off his grades to his parents: "Look, the Medal of the Warrior."
Fu Jinxiao lowered her head, her eyes gentle: "Really amazing."
"Hehe." Shen Xingsui couldn't contain her pride, and lowered her head a little shyly after being praised: "I was just lucky."
Dusk has arrived, and the setting sun has painted the sky with a gentle and beautiful orange hue. Laughter and cheerful voices fill the amusement park, and the floats in the park play fun and childlike music.
Shen Xingsui seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Guess what else I got?"
Fu Jinxiao asked, "What?"
"Ta-da!" Shen Xingsui suddenly pulled a cartoon standee out of her pocket, smiling happily: "Look, it's your toy figure. I bought it at the fast food restaurant. Isn't it cute?"
It was a miniature version of Fu Jinxiao wearing a suit as a keychain.
Fu Jinxiao glanced at it, a smile crossing his handsome face, and slowly nodded, saying, "Not bad."
Shen Xingsui was displeased and a little discouraged. She snorted and said, "It's not just okay, it's really cute! And you have no idea how hard it is to buy. Not every set meal has it. My second brother and I ate two sets and still didn't get your card. In the end, someone else got it and gave it to me. Ugh, you have no idea how difficult it is. And that store not only had keychains but also folding fans and badges. It's a pity I can't eat that many, so I didn't collect them all..."
Fu Jinxiao spoke slowly, with a mature and composed demeanor, "If you didn't collect them all, so be it. Sometimes regret is a kind of beauty. Cherish what you have now, and don't be too competitive..."
Shen Xingsui had just been lectured and was about to nod when suddenly, two children following behind their mother in the parade of floats pointed at Fu Jinxiao in surprise and said, "That's the older brother from lunchtime."
"Oh, it really is! Mom, look! My brother traded my keychain for an ice cream cone!" The child's voice was clear and bright. "He also traded my sister's folding fan."
Shen Xingsui stared wide-eyed at Fu Jinxiao in disbelief.
Another child eagerly added, "My brother has collected so many badges and stickers!"
"Yes, yes!" The little boy, as if afraid that Fu Yingdi wasn't shameless enough, laughed and said, "Thank you for treating us to ice cream, brother!"
...
The float procession was still moving; they dispersed after exchanging greetings.
After Fu Jinxiao withdrew his gaze, he met Shen Xingsui's dangerous smile. The young man looked at him and said, "Don't be too competitive."
