"Hahaha……"
When the roller coaster slowly came to a stop, Ash saw Fili gasping for air next to him and couldn't help laughing: "Is the reaction so serious?"
"I'm afraid of heights!" Fili pouted, "I felt like my heart just stopped... They were actually taking pictures!"
"Why are you riding a roller coaster if you're afraid of heights?"
"If you are afraid of heights, can't you enjoy riding a roller coaster?"
I get it. The worse you are, the more you like to play.
Ash unbuckled the seat and saw that Fili was sitting still and stretched out her hands to him, like a child who wanted a hug. He blinked and said, "What's wrong?"
"My legs are weak." Fili said innocently, "Help me."
Ash glanced at Vichy behind him, but after thinking it over, he took Fili's hand and helped her up. After just two steps, Fili took him back and ran to the next mobile project: "I want to play the pendulum too!"
Nia frowned and chased after him, while Vichy and Rose followed slowly behind.
Igula looked at their backs and suddenly felt that he had nothing to do here. Besides, he didn't like playing mobile projects, so he turned around and said, "Xavi, we--"
He looked around and found that Harvey was not around, but he saw a parade with the theme of "Corpse Party" leaving from a distance. There seemed to be a dark-skinned, curly-haired figure in it.
Are you kidding me? You, a legendary necromancer, are actually attracted by such boring entertainment activities... Igula sighed, turned around and saw a "Crystal Ball Divination" tent. There was a long queue at the door. On the left side of the door was written "Omniscient" and on the right side was written "Accurate in Everything".
He took out his mobile phone to check and found that "Crystal Ball Divination" in Xiaguang Paradise was actually the theme park's main project. The fortune teller here is known as the number one spiritual master among the stars. He can see through people's thoughts and predict their past and future!
Looking at the flattering articles above, Igulla had unknowingly stood at the end of the queue.
He was not attracted by the entertainment project, but as a fellow fraudster, it was difficult for Igula to refuse the opportunity to learn from his peers.
…
…
"I feel dizzy... I can't walk anymore..."
Facing Fili's pitiful gaze, Ash shrugged and had to pick Fili up.
Fili put her arms around Ash's neck and secretly glanced at Nia behind her. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, which made Nia furious.
But Fili didn't give Nia a chance to lose her temper. She quickly got off Ash and dragged him to a nearby stall: "You can get themed eye makeup for free here! What do you want to paint, Ash?"
Ash glanced at the eye makeup chart: "I want that evil and crazy dark eye!"
"Master," Wei Xi reminded, "the evil and crazy Lala Fei is still Lala Fei, and those are not dark circles under the eyes..."
Ash said unhappily, "If you keep talking I'm going to put a helmet on you."
"But," he looked up at the sky, "it's really bright here, just like it's daytime."
The theme of the Happy World of Xia Guang may only appear in the Kingdom of Stars, because only a world like the Kingdom of Stars, which lives in darkness all day long, would regard "daytime" as a fantasy theme.
There were several huge curved reflective walls covering the entire amusement park. From the outside, the World of Light looked like a broken eggshell. These reflective walls reflected the light layer by layer, making the interior of the theme park illuminated by blazing white light. It was almost the brightest place Ash and his friends had seen since they came to the stars. It was truly as bright as day.
But when the travelers look up, they can see the darkness outside through the reflective walls. This is the origin of the name "Xiaguang" - a flawed day.
But this alone has excited countless tourists, who walk in the artificial daytime world and enjoy the ubiquitous light.
"During the day?" Fili pulled Ash into the eye makeup booth. She put on some sequined eye makeup, and the bags under her eyes sparkled. "Is it similar to the daytime outside here?"
"Hmm..." Ash thought for a moment, "It's still far from enough. No matter how bright the light is, it can't compare to real sunlight."
"What is the sunlight like?"
"Warm and dazzling," Ash paused, "If starlight is the stars caressing with their fur, then sunlight is the stars licking with their tongues."
Fili didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Although I don't know what the sun is like, I also know that your statement is too weird."
"Although Ash's brain circuit is a bit problematic, this place is indeed not as good as the real sunshine." Vichy folded his hands and said, "When you bask in the sun with your loved one and walk on the street together, you will truly feel the joy of life. It's not just the sun that is dazzling, but also yourself."
Fili was slightly startled when she heard this, and said softly: "That's great..."
Ash had also put on his dark eye makeup. He looked in the mirror and found that he looked more like the evil and crazy Lala Fatty. But he didn't mind: "What are we going to play next?"
"I want to ride that ten-ring roller coaster!"
"Aren't you afraid of getting dizzy?"
"Don't you still have me? Let's go!"
Fili was so energetic that she didn't look like someone who had insomnia. She dragged Ash around in various motorized projects, some of which she even played two or three times. When they arrived at the North District of Happy World, they found that there was a cable car that went directly to the top of the mountain, and there was also a super bungy jump project on the top of the mountain.
The cable car can only accommodate two people at a time, so Fili naturally sat with Ash. This kind of chairlift is more roller coaster-like than a roller coaster because your feet are suspended in the air and the ropeway is almost vertical. Fili was so nervous that she almost stuck to Ash, and the sequins of her eye makeup rubbed against Ash's face.
Nia finally couldn't help it this time, but before she could rush over to push Ash down, she was pulled away by Vichy. Vichy said, "There will be a fireworks show at 8:30. You guys should meet us at the central square at that time. We won't go up there."
"Okay." Ash looked at her and nodded slightly.
The alpine bungee jump lived up to their expectations of taking the cable car up, especially since the bungee jump was built on the cliff. Every time Ash fell rapidly, his heartbeat accelerated, not to mention Fili. Fili needed Ash to help her out every time, and then she would get back in line excitedly.
When they found that the number of people in line was decreasing, they realized that it was already eight o'clock, so they quickly lined up to take the cable car to go down. Taking the cable car down from above was more exciting, and the cable car and ropeway made a tingling sound, but the mountain area was not within the scope of the Happy World, so the starlight of the clear starry sky was fully spread on the cable car and ropeway, and they felt like they were riding the Milky Way back to the human world.
The cable car was not a straight line, but rose and fell with the mountains. After their cable car landed at the bottom, they suddenly found that the speed of the cable car became very slow. Then the voice of the loudspeaker rang throughout the cable car: "There is a malfunction in the cable car. Emergency repairs are being carried out. Please be patient. It is expected to resume normal operation in fifteen minutes..."
"Fifteen minutes!?" Fili looked at her phone and said anxiously, "We don't have time to go back down the mountain to watch the fireworks!"
"Looks like we'll have to miss the fireworks," Ash consoled, "but the cable car is still pretty fun, just like the Ferris wheel."
"Like the Ferris wheel we rode at the end of our last date?"
Ash blinked and nodded, "Yeah, just like our last date."
Fili thought for a long time and suddenly said, "I should say sorry to Nia."
"I almost monopolized all of your time today, leaving none for her...but I really can't bear to give it to her."
She raised her head and looked at Ash, with stars in her eyes, twinkling like stars, "This is our second date, and it may be our last."
Ash thought for a moment, "This seems to be my second date as well."
Fili smiled, took a deep breath, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
"Ash, I have something to tell you."
…
…
"Vichy, do you like Fili, or do you hate me, or both?"
In the scenic area restaurant, Niya suddenly attacked Vichy.
Wei Xi ate French fries without caring and said leisurely: "I am actually a very loving person - I like all small animals, whether they are sheep or hedgehogs. How could I hate you?"
"Then why do you..." Nia bit her lower lip lightly, "Forget it."
"I did help Fili create opportunities to be alone with Ash, but that doesn't mean I'm helping her." Vichy smiled and said, "If I really wanted to help her, I wouldn't give her any chance to be alone with Ash."
Nia looked at her and said, "One of the reasons why I don't like you is because you are hard to understand."
Rose cut the steak gracefully, not paying attention to their conversation.
"What do you think Fili wanted to say by finding an opportunity to be alone with Ash?" Vichy said with a smile.
"Of course it is—" Nia almost blurted out, but when she saw Weishi's half-smile, she immediately realized that she must have been wrong. However, she was never willing to admit her mistakes and stupidity, so she just shut up and said nothing.
If she didn't ask, Vichy would naturally not tell her, so let's see who would die of anxiety first.
After a while, Niya asked sullenly, "So why did you help her?"
"Because I'm also curious," Vichy glanced at the top of the mountain in the distance: "Wandering on the edge of love and righteousness, what kind of answer will Fili give?"
Nia frowned, she hated this riddle-like way of speaking.
"Actually, I'm more curious about you than Fili."
Vichy tilted her head: "Niya, do you really still care about your relationship with Ash?"
Nia instantly got angry and glared at Vichy, but then she quickly calmed down, lowered her eyes, stopped talking, and ate dinner quietly.
…
…
"Um."
Ash said softly, "I'm listening."
"I want to tell you," Fili took a deep breath, "about the Soul Heaven Project..."
"Um."
"I hope, I hope you, you...you..."
The following words seemed to be stuck in her throat. She took shallow breaths but no more words came out of her lips.
She grasped Ash's arm limply, her breathing becoming heavier and heavier, as if breathing had drained all her strength.
"I hope you...you don't..."
Fili bit her lips tightly, tears gradually blurring her vision. She leaned her head gently on Ash's shoulder, the breathing sound in her throat gradually became a whimper, the whimper became louder and louder, and finally she couldn't help but burst into tears, crying heartbreakingly, crying hysterically, as if the sorrow that had accumulated for a long time could finally be vented without restraint.
Ash patted her back and said with a smile, "Cry slowly, don't be so impatient, I'm afraid you'll get respiratory alkalosis."
"I can't say it... I can't say it!" Fili sobbed twice and hiccuped: "I can't say anything!"
"Why can't I say it... I've clearly made up my mind..."
"Because you don't want me to get hurt, and you don't want the stars to be destroyed." Ash looked up at the starry sky and said, "Because Fili, you are a kind devil."
