Chapter 97



Yu Ci's eyes darkened slightly, but soon turned into a lazy smile: "Okay."

He started the engine, turned the steering wheel, and asked casually, "Are you in a hurry to go back?"

Shi Jin hesitated for a moment: "...No hurry."

"Okay." Yu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then do you mind going somewhere with me first?"

Shi Jin nodded: "Okay."

He originally thought that Yu Ci had made an appointment in advance or had something urgent to do, but...

He looked at the colorful, tall, rainbow-shaped gate in front of him, his eyes tinged with hesitation: "The place you're talking about... is this the place?"

Yu Ci curled his lips and unbuckled his seat belt: "That's right."

Shi Jin was silent.

He sat for a while, then tilted his head to look out the window again.

The gate with flashing colorful lampposts was full of happy tourists. Various cartoon characters were painted on the colorful walls - a rabbit hiding in a big hat, a pink fox with his hands on his hips, Mr. Turtle wearing a top hat...

Outside the gate where cheerful music was playing, a staff member dressed in cartoon doll costume was holding balloons and distributing them to the children surrounding him.

At the entrance not far away, the long queue silently demonstrated the bustle of this place.

This is - an amusement park.

But, what was Yu Ci doing in the amusement park?

The thoughts in my mind were flying up and down, and finally turned into silence after Yu Ci got off the car.

It has nothing to do with him after all.

Shi Jin drooped his eyelids and looked down at the messages on his phone.

The car door beside him opened with a click. He tilted his head slightly.

Against the light, the man's figure was tall and slender, with his head lowered, the fragmented light and shadows on his forehead were mottled. He stretched out his hand to her, and there was a deep smile in his sparkling peach eyes.

He said,

"Welcome to Fairy tale land."

It is difficult to describe Shi Jin's mood at the moment. He looked at Yu Ci who was making an elegant invitation in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.

Shi Jin hesitated for a moment: "I want to go too?"

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows: "Of course."

According to the "One Hundred and Eighty Ways of Super Pursuit Manual" he found on Baidu, the amusement park is definitely the best place to bring two people closer together.

so......

Yu Ci leaned against the car door, expecting something.

Shi Jin was silent for two seconds, his gaze lingering on the colorful gate of the park.

After a while, he put away his phone: "Okay."

Yu Ci had just bought a fast ticket online. He picked up the ticket from the ticket machine and took Shi Jin into the park through the fast lane amid the envious eyes of the children.

The park is more lively than outside the gate.

The clown with funny makeup danced humorously, the deer lady in a striped skirt stood behind the popcorn machine and waved to the passers-by, and the panda man holding balloons would high-five and take photos with the tourists who bought balloons.

In the distance, the swirling roller coaster carried tourists along the track, leaving behind screams. Closer, the carousel played lively music, spreading laughter in the amusement park.

"What do you want to play?" Yu Ci turned his head, but found that Shi Jin's eyes were looking to the left.

He followed his gaze—one;

The little girl in the light yellow dress was pulling her mother's skirt and acting coquettishly. The tall father was standing by and looking at his wife and daughter lovingly with a smile on his face.

The mother, unable to bear her daughter's coquettishness, finally bought an ice cream from the ice cream truck.

When Yu Ci looked away, the little girl was eating her ice cream happily.

They seemed to be an ordinary family of three.

When Shi Jin looked at him, she withdrew her gaze and said, "Let's go."

Yu Ci's eyes stayed on his face for two seconds, and he suddenly said, "Wait for me for a moment."

Shi Jin nodded slightly.

The man's tall figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.

He pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and looked quietly at the stone bricks under his feet.

In fact, he doesn't like amusement parks.

Because he hasn't been here.

Before Mr. and Mrs. Shi went abroad, they would rather go to more exhibitions and paint more paintings than waste time taking their children to the amusement park.

After Shi's father and mother went abroad, Wang's mother, who was responsible for taking care of their lives, had to be busy with their daily lives. She spent every day buying groceries, cooking, and picking them up from school. She would never think about or have time to take the children to the amusement park.

When Shi Jin was a child, he also had a longing for the amusement park, but now...

He pursed his lips and pinched the corner of his clothes unconsciously with his fingertips.

Amusement parks seem to be just like that.

Nothing special.

An ice cream piled high with pink marshmallows suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Shi Jin was slightly stunned.

The cartoon bear on the ice cream waved his hand at him, with two huge buck teeth showing in his grinning mouth, which looked funny and cute.

Shi Jin's lips curled up unconsciously.

He raised his eyes and met the man's smiling peach blossom eyes.

"For me?"

Shi Jin pointed at the girlish ice cream in front of her and curled her lips: "Can I return it?"

"No." Yu Ci raised his eyebrows: "Once the goods are sent out, they will not be returned."

"But..." He curled his lips, his sharp eyebrows were blurred by a smile, and they were incredibly soft: "You can also choose to summon your knight. The brave knight will solve all difficulties for his prince."

A little boy passing by stared at them without blinking. After a while, he suddenly turned to his mother and said, "Look, Mom, he's a prince! And there's a knight protecting him!"

The little boy's father also saw it. He smiled and asked his son: "A brave knight will protect his prince or princess. Honey, do you want to be a knight or a prince in the future?"

The little boy's eyes lit up: "I want to be a knight!"

The family of three walked away smiling. Before leaving, the mother smiled kindly at Shi Jin.

Shi Jin felt inexplicably embarrassed. He took the ice cream and skipped the topic of knights and princes: "Okay, I'll take it."

"Where are we going now?"

Yu Ci’s tone was very certain: “Roller coaster!”

He just searched and found on Baidu that roller coasters can make people's heart beat faster. This kind of stimulation can make people secrete a lot of dopamine, which can better promote emotions.

Shi Jin had no doubts: "Okay, let's go on a roller coaster."

On the way to the roller coaster, Shi Jin slowed down slightly.

The man's tall figure had shed his former laziness and became straight and slender.

He looked at Yu Ci's tall back and lowered his head.

The sweet aroma of ice cream fills your mouth, and the cool touch instantly evaporates the summer heat.

Shi Jin swallowed the ice cream in her mouth, and the corners of her lips slightly raised.

Very sweet.

——

There were a lot of people lining up for the roller coaster.

Even if they bought fast tickets, they still had to wait for the next round.

When they walked into the fast lane queue, there were already two people queuing inside.

They were two boys wearing T-shirts and with slightly childish faces.

Shi Jin originally thought that they were classmates, but it was not until he got closer and saw that they were wearing the same couple outfits that he realized that they were a couple.

The shorter, round-faced boy in the couple was more outgoing. When he saw them, he stared at them with his round eyes and even grabbed his boyfriend's ear and whispered, "The boy in black has such a thin waist. I really want to touch it."

Shi Jin paused slightly.

Upon hearing this, the taller boy gently patted the round-faced boy's waist, then looked at Shi Jin apologetically: "Sorry, if he offended you, I apologize on his behalf."

He knew that the boy in black must have heard it.

Shi Jin pursed her lips and shook her head: "It's okay."

The round-faced boy stayed in his boyfriend's arms obediently, but after a while he couldn't stay there any longer.

He pushed the tall boy, signaling him to let go, then smiled and greeted the two of them: "Hello, my name is Bai Yuan, and this is my boyfriend Qiu Qiu."

"You guys are so good looking, can I ask you a question?"

Shi Jin glanced at Yu Ci and nodded: "Okay."

Bai Yuan looked at them with a smile: "Are you two also a couple?"

Shi Jin was stunned.

Qiu Qiu pinched Bai Yuan's waist as a reminder: "A Yuan."

Bai Yuan pushed him: "I just asked, no one else minded."

"It's okay." Shi Jin came back to his senses, pursed his lips and explained: "We don't..."

“Is this your first time here?”

Yu Ci spoke, as if he didn't notice that he had interrupted him, and his expression was natural: "This is our first time here, I wonder if you can recommend some fun things."

"It's fun, I know it!" Bai Yuan was so excited that he forgot the question he had just asked. He started to recommend it to people: "This roller coaster is a must-ride. There is also a haunted house next to the carousel. It is a national tour and it is said to be very exciting..."

Qiu Qiu, who was standing next to Bai Yuan, looked at Yu Ci meaningfully: Brother, haven’t you succeeded yet?

Yu Ci looked back with a natural expression: I’m trying my best.

"Tourists with express tickets can go forward and sit down when they see an empty seat."

The staff's voice came from the loudspeaker, reminding tourists that a new round of roller coaster was about to begin.

Bai Yuan stopped talking as if he was still not satisfied. After getting on the roller coaster, he turned around and talked to Shi Jin and the others: "Wait for me later. Let's team up and play together."

He was lively and lively, and Shi Jin had a good impression of him, so he nodded slightly: "Okay."

However, Yu Ci, who was standing beside him, had a slightly darkened face. Qiu Qiu, who shared the same pain as him, turned around and looked at him, silently expressing his comfort.

Before the roller coaster starts, the staff will check the safety pins one by one.

While waiting for the staff to check, Yu Ci tilted his head and asked, "Are you scared?"

Shi Jin had never played it, so he shook his head: "I don't know."

"It's okay." Yu Ci lowered his eyes and looked at the young man's cold and pale face, comforting him: "If you are afraid, just hold my hand."

As he said this, he placed his right hand on the armrest of Shi Jin's chair, indicating his presence with his actions.

But the next second——

"Tourist, please take your hand back and hold on to your handrails."

The staff member pulled down the safety bolt and pulled Yu Ci's hand back: "Your handrail is here, don't grab the wrong one."

Yu Ci: “…”

“Puff.”

This was the laughter that Bai Yuan, who had been eavesdropping silently in the front seat, couldn't help but let out.

Yu Ci was a little embarrassed at first, but when he turned around and saw Shi Jin's smiling eyes, he suddenly felt that this little embarrassment was nothing.

So he cleared his throat and said, "It's okay. I'll hold it for you secretly later."

Although Shi Jin didn't think he was afraid, he still nodded: "Okay."

“Ding ding ding—”

The roller coaster officially starts.

The rolling tracks carried the roller coaster full of tourists all the way up. The inclined angle made the body lean back continuously, and the sight in front of the eyes also changed from the flat ground of the amusement park to the blue sky.

Shi Jin stretched out his hand to pull the mask higher, and when he was about to hold the armrest again, someone grabbed his wrist.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction of the owner of the big hand.

Yu Ci closed his eyes and pursed his thin lips. His usually lazy face was now filled with tension.

Not sure if it was Shi Jin’s illusion, but he even felt that Yu Ci’s face seemed a little pale.

Yu Ci...is he afraid?

The roller coaster was still climbing slowly.

The grip on my wrist was a little uncomfortable.

Shi Jin looked at Bai Yuan and Qiu Qiu who were already clasping hands in front of him. After hesitating for two seconds, he turned his wrist and placed his hand into Yu Ci's palm.

Almost at the moment their palms touched, his hand was wrapped by a big palm.

The roller coaster stopped at its highest point.

Shi Jin pursed her lips, patted the back of his hand with her free hand, and said in a light voice: "It's okay, don't be afraid."

As soon as he finished speaking, the roller coaster, which had been stationary, suddenly dived downward.

The strong feeling of weightlessness instantly caused screams from everyone around.

Surrounded by the screams that came one after another, Shi Jin closed his eyes slightly, feeling the cool breeze against his ears, and the curve of his lips that had been raised at some point deepened slightly.
