Chapter 14 I might be a little jealous. It's so cute. I need to slow down...
"Let me help you shoot," Jiang Ziyi stuffed the fox into Gu Zhi's arms and imitated him to set up the marble gun. "The bear is a participation prize. As long as you don't miss the target in every round," she said coldly.
As he was speaking, Jiang Ziyi's first shot missed the target.
"There's nothing wrong with your posture, just keep your eyes on the line." Gu Zhi said in her ear.
His breath was close at hand, Jiang Ziyi calmed down a little and fired the next shot.
Seven rings! Jiang Ziyi stared at her second shooting result in amazement, "Could I be a natural sharpshooter?" She turned her head to confirm with Gu Zhi.
"Well, if you practice more you can go to the Olympics." Gu Zhi couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Ziyi, who was full of confidence, fired several shots in a row and successfully won the teddy bear.
"If the first shot hadn't missed the target, your little bear would have turned into a rabbit." She said to Luo Pan in a deliberately arrogant manner.
Luo Pan silently took the stuffed bear in overalls and took out a shiny clown coin from its pocket.
"Wow, how did you find out? I didn't even notice it." Jiang Ziyi had long forgotten about the task.
"This is for you," Luo Pan stuffed the gold coins into her hands, "Thank you, you are also very handsome when shooting."
"No, no, this is what you found..." Before Jiang Ziyi finished his words, Luo Pan had already run away.
"It turns out this level is a treasure hunt game," Du Xiaofang understood. Let's look for it separately.
"Okay," Gu Zhi said, "I'll go west with Ziyi."
Which way is west? Jiang Ziyi turned around on the spot.
Gu Zhi naturally took her hand.
"Luo Pan is actually quite cute sometimes," Jiang Ziyi whispered in his ear, "Was I a little too fierce just now?"
"What's so fierce about you?" Gu Zhi asked. He only saw a cat scratching its claws.
"Oh, I might be a little jealous. Just now," Jiang Ziyi's voice was very light, "you used to only hunt for me."
She calls playing target shooting and winning stuffed animals "hunting"! Gu Zhi wanted to rub her cat's head until it was bald.
"Are you jealous?" He grasped the point a little slowly.
"Well, a little bit." Jiang Ziyi admitted.
"Why don't you leave?" She found that Gu Zhi covered his face with his elbow again.
"So cute, I need to slow down." Gu Zhi said in a hoarse voice.
Jiang Ziyi: ...
"If I turn into a long-necked monster, will you still like me?" The girl in the pink knitted hat stood in front of the distorted mirror and acted coquettishly to her boyfriend.
"Of course, baby." The boy pulled the ball of hair on her head lovingly.
"What if I become a one-eyed monster?" The girl walked to the next mirror.
"It doesn't matter what you become!" The boy hugged her in his arms.
Gu Zhi looked at this scene with resentment.
"Hey, Gu Zhi, come here quickly." Jiang Ziyi called him in front of another funhouse mirror.
"Even if you turn into a big-mouthed monster, I will still love you." Gu Zhi pinched her face outside the mirror.
"What's wrong with you again?" Jiang Ziyi was puzzled. "I found the clown gold coin. It's under this mirror."
"Oh, okay, let's go." Gu Zhi said with regret.
The next gold coin is hidden under the crystal ball in the fortune teller's tent.
"Would you two like to have a free divination?" The tarot reader sorted out the cards in his hand.
"Okay, can I get rich recently?" Jiang Ziyi sat down eagerly.
“…Don’t you want to have your fortune told about your relationship?” the fortune teller almost explicitly asked.
"No, I want to get rich." Jiang Ziyi said.
Gu Zhi rubbed his eyebrows helplessly behind her.
"The marriage test is free, and the wealth test is 50 per person." The fortune teller said indifferently.
"Then it must be fate." Jiang Ziyi thought about it.
"Lovers positive, Tower negative, Moon negative." The fortune teller flipped over the cards one by one from the deck she had chosen.
"Is this a bad card?" Jiang Ziyi felt that the card in the middle looked very dangerous.
"You will face a test. It will feel like you are suddenly stopped in the air, filled with cold and fear," the fortune teller interpreted. "A crisis will happen soon."
Gu Zhi silently took the clown gold coin from her.
"Everything depends on human efforts. If you don't believe in bad omens, then that's all." Seeing that Gu Zhi was about to buy the luck-changing crystal at the stall, Jiang Ziyi immediately stopped him.
"It's said on the Internet that this fortune teller's predictions are very accurate," Gu Zhi was still worried, "I don't want any possible accidents to happen between us again."

"Why do I always smell like cigarette smoke?" said the actor who acted with Jiang Ziyi.
"There's a wildfire in the distance, but our current location is not in the same direction as the wind, so it shouldn't have any impact." The director hung up the phone call from the local fire department. "It's still a while before the sun sets, so we'll try to finish shooting several exterior scenes, starting with the finale."
The smoke was getting closer and the temperature was rising noticeably, and the crew members were feeling uneasy.
"With so many devices running at the same time, a day's delay will cost a huge amount of the budget. Listen carefully, we will withdraw in just twenty minutes." The director assured, patting his chest.
"I won't film anymore," Jiang Ziyi pulled off the wire on his body, "With so many lives lost, can you bear the responsibility if something really happens?"
"How many more people can we squeeze into the nanny car?" Jiang Ziyi waved to her agent, "...You guys come with me, let's get down the mountain quickly." She said to the extras squatting nearby.
The driver stepped on the accelerator all the way, but the fire was getting closer and closer. The burning birch trunks fell down in front, blocking the only road out of the mountain.
The young assistant started crying in fear. In a panic, Jiang Ziyi called Gu Zhi.
She let the phone ring for five seconds and then hung up.
It was best not to get through, Jiang Ziyi told herself, otherwise what should she say to Gu Zhi?
"I may die soon, don't be too sad."
"Take good care of our dog, or I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."
"Thank you for giving me someone to connect with at the end of my life."
"Is it too corny to say 'I love you' at a time like this?"
"…If only you were here with me."
Jiang Ziyi and her group abandoned the car and ran down the mountain along the river. She took off her costume and was left with only her inner clothes, which were covered with ash and dirt.
She walked numbly, her legs numb from the cold, the only feeling she had of her wounds was the dampness - she seemed to be bleeding.
In a trance, scenes from the past flashed before her eyes.
Most of them are good memories, memories about Gu Zhi. Her life seemed to start to get better with his arrival.
Jiang Ziyi raised the wet tissue in her hand and took bigger steps. She felt very unwilling.
Gu Zhi seldom missed her calls, and if he hadn't answered the last one, that guy would never forgive himself.
Even if it was because of this, she shouldn't have fallen here.
Two hours after Jiang Ziyi was rescued, Gu Zhi rushed to the hospital.
He was at a talk show at the time. During the intermission, he called Jiang Ziyi back and found no signal. He then found out about the news that the wildfire was spreading and the crew had not responded to the evacuation in time.
He looked literally shaky.
"It's okay, I just fell a few times, some minor skin injuries." Jiang Ziyi said, struggling to get up from the hospital bed, "The burn won't affect me, I'm a nimble dog in the mountains." She even made a joke.
Gu Zhi looked at her steadily for a while, then walked up to her and gave her a stiff hug.
——In fact, it’s hard to say it’s a hug. He just put his arms around her but didn’t dare to touch her.
"On the way here just now, I couldn't help thinking, what should I do if something really happens to you--" Gu Zhi's voice was calm but almost crazy.
"I might light my car on fire, get in, and lock the doors." His answer was ten times worse than Jiang Yiyi had imagined.
"This way, I'll know how much pain you're in."
————————————————————
Jiang Ziyi cooperated and put the amethyst bracelet on his wrist.
"This blessing may shorten the duration of the crisis." The fortune teller told her.
The five gold coins were quickly collected, and Jiang Ziyi and Gu Zhi were about to go to the next park when they were suddenly stopped by the program crew.
"According to the results of this round of voting in the live broadcast room, you have been selected to complete a special task posted by netizens - riding the Ferris wheel five times in a row." The director announced.
"Why do we have to sit here so many times?" Jiang Ziyi asked puzzledly.
About half an hour ago, the Holding Hands super topic was discussing heatedly what kind of tasks to assign to the two.
: After active voting by everyone, Mr. and Mrs. Gu Jiang successfully got the special task quota! The fan site is now starting to collect specific content for the task. The final result needs to be reviewed by the director team, so everyone please be mindful of the limits!
: Great! The fan site has strong execution! Praise!
: Wow, the review is so strict, not even a kiss is allowed!
: How about letting them ride a few laps on the carousel? It will feel very romantic
: Well... most couples are like this, but I have a feeling Jiang Ziyi will gallop without distraction
: Damn, this is indeed something she can do
: Think again, think again
: What about the roller coaster? When you feel nervous and excited, you will hold your fingers together!
: The roller coaster is too fast! The sugar is over before I even get to it
:Emmm, how about the Ferris wheel?
:Hello Ferris wheel!
: I vote for the Ferris wheel!
: I really want to see two people kissing on the Ferris wheel [pointing fingers]
: I think if the time is longer, Gu Zhi should be able to do it
: Then let them sit a few more times! When I have nothing to do, I just kiss!
: You are a genius...
: Very good idea to make the Ferris wheel spin
: Ahhhhhhhhh I can’t stand it anymore
: I have already started to laugh
Jiang Ziyi and Gu Zhi were arranged to ride on the Ferris wheel.
In the afterglow of the sunset, the entire amusement park looks like a golden fairy tale world.
Jiang Ziyi looked out the window intently, and Gu Zhi looked at her intently.
After two rounds, Jiang Ziyi began to feel bored.
"How's work going lately?" She sat down facing him.
"I haven't taken on roles with heavy scenes," Gu Zhi said calmly, "I've turned down a few romance films because I feel uncomfortable with too much physical contact with others."
Jiang Ziyi: ...But every time you look at me, you seem to have skin hunger.
She was about to speak when the crystal bracelet on her wrist suddenly broke, and the purple beads rolled all over the floor.
"The Ferris wheel seems to have stopped turning." Gu Zhi looked around.
They were at their highest point at this time.
Jiang Ziyi suddenly remembered what the fortune teller had said:
"You will face a test that will feel like being stopped in the air, cold and terrifying."
It turns out to be a crisis on the physical level! ! I thought it was some great metaphor! !
