Chapter 28 Cloudscape
Chi Jinjin pulled Tang Shi's clothes tighter. If it wasn't Tang Shi's birthday today, she would never come in here.
The wind inside suddenly got stronger. I don't know what was blowing it, but it made a creaking sound. There were some strange patterns on the ground, like formations in horror movies.
When thinking of horror movies, Chi Jinjin couldn't help but recall all kinds of scenes she had seen before. It would be fine if she didn't think about it, but she got scared the moment she thought about it.
Suddenly! When passing by a hospital bed, a human skeleton suddenly popped out from the bed.
“Ahhh!”
Chi Jinjin originally wanted to hug Tang Shi in front of her, but unexpectedly, Song Ci screamed and hugged her, asking in panic, "What is it? What is it?"
"Song Ci, are you sick? Let go of me, you're strangling me to death!" Tang Shi pulled away Song Ci's hand that was around her neck.
Nan Xuqiu on the side curled his lips and smiled calmly.
Song Ci had just let go of Tang Shi when he felt something rolling to his feet. He looked down and saw that it was a head covered in "blood".
Suddenly, Song Ci screamed again, grabbed Tang Shi's arm, hid behind her and shouted, "I don't want to play anymore, I want to go out! I want to go out!"
Seeing Song Ci so cowardly for the first time, Tang Shi couldn't help but have evil thoughts. He grabbed his hand and said, "Don't, we've come this far. We have to finish this journey. There's nothing to be afraid of ahead, really."
"I won't go, I won't go!" Song Ci stepped back.
Tang Shi dragged him forward.
So throughout the entire journey, one could hear Song Ci's incessant screams.
Chi Jinjin, who had no one to rely on, was even more frightened. She turned around and walked towards Nan Xuqiu, but she didn't dare to get too close to him.
"Are you scared?" Nan Xuqiu suddenly asked her.
Chi Jinjin pretended to be calm, not wanting to embarrass herself, and said, "I, I'm not afraid."
"Oh..." Nan Xuqiu nodded, as if remembering something, and said, "That's good, but it's better not to play in this haunted house too often in the future."
"Why?" Chi Jinjin was puzzled.
Nan Xuqiu lowered his voice, moved closer to Chi Jinjin, and said, "I heard that ghosts love to hear people talk about them, and they like to wander around haunted houses. Who knows, maybe a real ghost will sneak in here..."
Is he kidding me?
Chi Jinjin thought to herself, but Nan Xuqiu's expression was so serious, and his eyes seemed to be wary of something.
Chi Jinjin swallowed and felt panic in her heart, but at this moment, something fell to the ground.
The sound frightened Chi Jinjin so much that she immediately panicked and threw herself into Nan Xuqiu's arms.
"A ghost is coming!"
Chi Jinjin grabbed his clothes and shouted in panic.
Nan Xuqiu's laughter reached her ears. He stroked the back of Chi Jinjin's head and said, "So, you also have things you're afraid of."
Chi Jinjin was stunned, and then realized that she seemed to have been fooled by Nan Xuqiu.
Sometimes, she really felt that Nan Xuqiu was quite bad.
Chi Jinjin blushed instantly and quickly took a few steps back, frowning and saying, "Senior, don't be so scary. It's really scary..."
"Okay, I won't scare you anymore. Let's go out." Nan Xuqiu said with a smile.
Chi Jinjin nodded and followed him forward.
But I was still too scared to stay too far away from him.
After a while, they finally went out.
Tang Shi and the others had just walked out. She looked at Song Ci and smiled, "Hey, are you okay? Didn't someone say they weren't scared? Why are you so pale?"
"I... I was just trying to liven up the atmosphere, what do you know?" Song Ci said stubbornly.
Tang Shi said, "Oh, so, let's go there again, shall we?"
"First, what's the point of always playing the same project? Now that we are here, of course we have to try more new things." Song Ci said hurriedly, looking at the entrance of the haunted house guiltily.
"That seems to make sense. Forget it, let's go play something else." Tang Shi pulled Chi Jinjin forward. When they passed the ring-tossing stall, she suddenly became interested again.
"Jinjin, let's play this." Tang Shi said, looking at the prize on the ground.
Chi Jinjin didn't understand and asked, "How do you play this?"
The stall owner came over and explained to Chi Jinjin, "For ten yuan, I'll give you five rings. If you catch anything on the field, it's all yours."
"It sounds like it's quite interesting." Chi Jinjin said with interest.
So Chi Jinjin and Tang Shi each bought a circle for ten yuan.
Tang Shi wanted to put the Iron Man model on the stall on, but he couldn't put it on at all, and soon he had thrown away all the rings in his hand.
"Damn it." Tang Shi said unwillingly.
Song Ci said disdainfully, "It's just one Iron Man, I can buy you a bunch."
"What do you know? This set of things is more fragrant. Besides, who wants you to buy it? It's none of my business." Tang Shi said.
Song Ci shook her head and muttered, "I really can't understand the thoughts of you women."
"You don't need to understand." Tang Shi made a face at him.
Song Ci looked speechless, but turned his head and couldn't help but smile.
"Jinjin, go and try it out quickly, maybe you can do it." Tang Shi said to Chi Jinjin.
Chi Jinjin tried to use a bamboo ring, but her accuracy was even worse than Tang Shi's.
She swung the hoop in her hand violently, and it flew out of the field and landed directly on the head of Nan Xuqiu who was watching nearby.
"Wow~"
Tang Shi suddenly looked at Chi Jinjin meaningfully.
"Senior, I'm sorry!" Chi Jinjin hurried forward to apologize and reached out to take off the bamboo ring that was thrown on his head.
But he was too tall, and Chi Jinjin couldn't reach his head even if she stood on tiptoe.
Nan Xuqiu smiled and took off the bamboo ring and asked, "Which one do you want?"
"Huh?" Chi Jinjin was stunned for a moment before she understood what he meant and said, "Senior, do you want to play this too?"
"Try it." Nan Xuqiu said.
Chi Jinjin pointed at the Iron Man that Tang Shi wanted and said, "I want that one."
Nan Xuqiu nodded, walked to the designated spot in front of the stall, and looked at the Iron Man in front.
Then, seemingly thrown casually, the bamboo ring drew an arc in the air and perfectly circled Iron Man.
"Wow!" The three of them exclaimed in unison, surprised.
The boss took out Iron Man and handed it to Nan Xuqiu.
Nan Xuqiu walked up to Chi Jinjin with Iron Man and handed it to Chi Jinjin.
"Thank you, thank you, senior." Chi Jinjin reached out to take it.
Song Ci asked, "Lao Nan, how did you get it right so quickly?"
"By calculating the arc speed and wind speed, we can roughly figure out the landing point." Nan Xuqiu replied.
Song Ci frowned, unhappy and said, "Why are you talking about knowledge again?"
"I don't want to either, but there is nothing in this world that is not related to knowledge." Nan Xuqiu said with a smile.
Chi Jinjin thought, it seemed so, there was indeed nothing that did not involve knowledge.
But he is really too amazing. He finished such a thing in such a short time without even using a piece of draft paper.
"Tang Shi." Chi Jinjin turned around and gave her Iron Man.
"What? Do you want me to hold it for you?" Tang Shi was puzzled.
Chi Jinjin said, "No, it's for you. Don't you like this? I don't like Iron Man."
Tang Shi then realized that she had wanted to trap him in this from the very beginning.
"Jinjin, you are so nice!" Tang Shi didn't bother to be polite. Since she was her best friend, she accepted it generously.
Chi Jinjin turned to look at Nan Xuqiu and smiled at him gratefully.
Nan Xuqiu also smiled back gently.
Later, Tang Shi wanted to go on the roller coaster again, but Chi Jinjin really had no energy, so Tang Shi and Song Ci were very excited and kept arguing all the way before getting on the roller coaster again.
Chi Jinjin lay on the guardrail beside her, looking at the lake in front of her, the autumn wind blowing on her face.
At this moment, she felt someone coming to her side.
Turning around, I saw it was Nan Xuqiu.
"Senior? Didn't you go out to play?" Chi Jinjin asked curiously.
Nan Xuqiu put his hands on the guardrail and said, "Just like you, I can't play anymore. Look at the two of them, who can bear it?"
Chi Jinjin looked back and saw Song Ci and Tang Shi riding the roller coaster again, as if they were addicted.
"It's been a long time since I saw Tang Shi having so much fun." Chi Jinjin said with relief.
Tang Shi has always been a person who likes to play very crazy, and there are few people who can match her spirit.
"I haven't seen Song Ci laugh like that in a long time." Nan Xuqiu turned around and looked at him, smiling, "It seems that we are not sociable with them."
"How about we go and have our own fun and let them join us?" Nan Xuqiu suddenly suggested.
Chi Jinjin was stunned.
We, him and I...
Chi Jinjin felt happy and nervous.
When she was still hesitant, Nan Xuqiu said, "Look, do you want to go sit there?"
Chi Jinjin looked in the direction of the finger and noticed a very tall Ferris wheel.
Chi Jinjin had seen it on TV before, but had never sat on it.
Unable to resist, Chi Jinjin nodded.
So she followed Nan Xuqiu to the Ferris wheel.
As I approached the Ferris wheel, I found it was even taller than the one I had just seen. Suddenly, I felt like a tiny ant in front of it.
She was glad that she didn't have gigantic fear.
The staff opened one of the hatches, and Nan Xuqiu took Chi Jinjin in.
After the hatch was closed, it slowly rose away.
The whole picture of the amusement park gradually appeared in front of Chi Jinjin. Chi Jinjin lay on the glass and looked down.
"It's so beautiful." Chi Jinjin couldn't help but sigh. If it's so beautiful during the day, wouldn't it be even more beautiful at night?
Unfortunately, she didn't know if she would have this opportunity again.
"Look, the roller coaster we just rode has become so small now." Chi Jinjin said excitedly to Nan Xuqiu. She looked into the distance and asked, "When we reach the top, can we see the whole city of A?"
"About that. I heard this is the highest place in City A." Nan Xuqiu replied standing beside her.
Chi Jinjin turned her head to look at him. The sunlight shone directly on his face, and his pupils seemed to have turned amber.
Nan Xuqiu felt Chi Jinjin's gaze, turned his head to look at her, and asked in confusion, "Is there something on my face?"
Chi Jinjin came back to her senses, quickly turned her head back, and explained in a panic, "No, no, I was just thinking about something else. I think that's how it is. I was just staring at a random place. You see, it looks like I'm looking at something, but actually my eyes are not focused."
"Then what are you thinking about?" Nan Xuqiu asked.
Chi Jinjin thought for a moment and said, "I was just thinking, this place is so beautiful during the day, and the night view must be another world. If I have the chance in the future, I will come here at night to take a look."
Of course, she hopes that the people around her will not change.
But she knew that this was an unrealistic fantasy.
"Do you think the Ferris wheel is like life?" Nan Xuqiu suddenly asked.
He said, "We always look forward to rising, but are afraid of falling..."
"It's very similar." Chi Jinjin nodded and said, "So, instead of worrying about these things, we might as well enjoy the view in the clouds like we are now."
She spoke very carefully. Every time she talked to him, it was as if she was in an interview or an exam, for fear of saying something wrong.
Nan Xuqiu looked at her and she smiled at him.
Chi Jinjin's eyes are very special. When she is not smiling, they are round and big, but when she smiles, they bend into crescents.
"Well said, we should enjoy the clouds." Nan Xuqiu looked into the distance and said with an open mind.
Chi Jinjin looked up at the sky, and she remembered someone saying that the Ferris wheel exists so that you can slowly cross the sky with the person you love.
Her peripheral vision fell on him once again. She was crossing the sky with the person she loved...
On the other side, Song Ci and Tang Shi went to drive bumper cars.
Both sides showed no mercy to the other, making the other players stay away.
"Song Ci, you little loser!" Tang Shi said to Song Ci with contempt.
Song Ci said with a smile, "If you are not good at it, don't talk."
"Go to hell!" Tang Shi said as he spun around and hit Song Ci again.
After a few rounds, the two were still tied, so they went to play exciting activities such as pirate ships, flying motorcycles, etc.
Tang poetry was determined to make Song poetry disgusting.
But she didn't expect that Song Ci was so fun to play. Not only did she not get sick of it, but she became more and more interested in it.
Tang Shi suddenly felt like she had met her match. No one had ever been able to play with her for so long.
"Why don't you leave? What's wrong? Are you unable to do it anymore?" Song Ci saw Tang Shi standing there in a daze, so he stopped and asked.
"Who said I can't do it?"
Tang Shi immediately retorted, a woman can't say no!
When Chi Jinjin and Nan Xuqiu came down from the Ferris wheel and found them, they were still competing in shooting balloons with AK guns.
"Go to hell, go to hell, Song Ci, go to hell!"
Tang Shi took out his gun and fired wildly at the balloons on the opposite side.
Chi Jinjin and Nan Xuqiu looked at each other and smiled helplessly at the same time.
In the afternoon, Tang Shi and his friends were finally tired of playing. After saying goodbye to Nan Xuqiu and the others, Tang Shi and Chi Jinjin took the bus back.
Tang Shi played with the bracelet and praised Chi Jinjin, "Senior Nan has really good taste. Jinjin, look, it's really beautiful, isn't it?"
"That Tang Shi." Chi Jinjin took out two gift boxes from her bag and handed them to Tang Shi.
Tang Shi took it and said, "You said you, if you want to give me a gift, just give it to me. Why give me so many?"
"No, this is mine. This is a gift from Senior Nan to you." Chi Jinjin pointed to her.
Tang Shi was puzzled, "Senior Nan, didn't you give me a birthday present?"
