Chapter 37 Published
There are many amusement facilities in the park, including thrilling roller coasters for thrill lovers, and of course, there are also facilities for timid tourists.
After coming out of the store, the group headed straight for the safest facility in the venue - the crystal sightseeing carriage.
Although it also runs on a semi-altitude track, its height is much lower than that of a roller coaster, and it has almost no ups and downs and is extremely slow. Its gentleness index is on par with that of a carousel.
But these carriages look quite exquisite and gorgeous. Sitting in one is like living in a dazzling crystal house. The light and shadow effects are quite amazing. All the tourists queuing here, without exception, are here to take photos and check in.
Ji Ruan was dazzled by the lights as soon as he entered. He sat with Gu Xiuyi, and across from them were three roommates. It was indeed a holy place for taking photos. The lights made the dark-skinned Han Xiaolin look at least two shades whiter.
Han Xiaolin was also shocked when he saw Ji Ruan, and thought it was ridiculous: "Ji Ruan, you are almost transparent!"
Ji Ruan didn't hear clearly: "What?"
The train moved slowly, the wind blew in from the window, and the purple ball of hair on his head stood up in the wind.
The headbands of the other people were only on their heads for a few minutes before being taken off. Qin Shan held it in his hand, Han Xiaolin wore it around his neck, and Li Yu put it in his bag.
Only Ji Ruan was wearing the hairpin happily, and from time to time she would shake the small antenna on her head. Han Xiaolin thought that this kind of person who loved to laugh but couldn't hear clearly what people said was very naive.
Han Xiaolin held his forehead with his hand, thinking that his ability to capture an old fox like Mr. Gu, who had been through many battles, could be ranked first among the three greatest wonders of the world.
Gu Xiuyi's eyes were always on Ji Ruan, with a faint smile on his face that he could no longer suppress after enduring for a long time.
He tapped Ji Ruan's shoulder and said, "Come sit over here, I'll take a few photos for you guys."
The few people holding selfie sticks were wondering how to take a better photo of the dormitory. When they heard Gu Xiuyi's words, they immediately agreed:
"Hey, this one is fine!"
“That’s great!”
"Thank you, Mr. Gu!"
The three of them squeezed together to leave the C position for the birthday boy. Ji Ruan sat over and adjusted his hair, then pinched the dangling ball of hair on top of his head to make it still.
Gu Xiuyi on the opposite side raised his cell phone, and Ji Ruan calmly made a "V" sign and smiled.
Snap——
A fresh photo came out, but Gu Xiuyi seemed not satisfied and took several more before finishing.
Ji Ruan returned to Gu Xiuyi and stuck his head out curiously. The moment he saw the photo, his smile froze and his face fell.
"What... is this film about..."
Among the four people, the other three are handsome, suave and handsome, with fair and delicate skin. Only Ji Ruan, who is C, is completely exposed!
He sat in the middle like a ghost of Biye!
And every one of them is like this!
Gu Xiuyi sent all the photos to Ji Ruan, and the more Ji Ruan looked at them, the more depressed he became.
"What's wrong? What's the photo like?"
"Ji Ruan, please send it to the group for us to see!"
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if Mr. Gu's skills are a little worse. We won't mind!"
Ji Ruan's fingertips trembled on the forward button for a long time, but he finally sent it out selflessly, and then hung his head in frustration.
Exclamations began to erupt from the other side.
"Fuck, am I that handsome?!"
"This is the first time I've ever been this pale in my life!"
"Does this place have a built-in face-slimming function? My face seems to have become smaller!"
"You were affected by Ji Ruan's overexposure. Your outline is blurred."
"The only thing that's visible about Ji Ruan is his sweater and the antenna on his head. How could this be? Hahahaha..."
Ji Ruan was speechless and didn't want to say a word. He lowered his head, and the ball of hair on his head poked Gu Xiuyi's neck again and again as the carriage swayed.
Gu Xiuyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pushed his little antenna away and pinched the back of his neck: "I really didn't add any filters, but you are too white."
Ji Ruan raised his head suddenly, and the hair ball brushed Gu Xiuyi's chin, but he didn't notice it himself, immersed in the grievance: "Oh, so now Bai is also my fault?"
“…”
Gu Xiuyi was silent for two seconds, carefully observing Ji Ruan's expression, and then said expressionlessly:
"I'll have everyone dim all the lights on the train tomorrow."
The other side was horrified: "Mr. Gu?!"
"Boss Gu, please think twice!!"
That sentence inexplicably made Ji Ruan feel better. He also knew that many people came to check in and take photos because of the lights in the car, and it was impossible for them to be so willful as to ask Gu Xiuyi to change the conditions for him alone.
"Forget it," Ji Ruan snorted, "After all, not everyone is as white as me."
There was a hint of pride in his tone.
Gu Xiuyi couldn't help laughing and flicked his little antenna: "Well, you are the most special."
"——Hey, why is Senior Sister Zi Zhang not here?" Qin Shan suddenly said in a low voice.
"That's right, how could she not come?"
Hearing the familiar name, Ji Ruan turned his head: "What are you talking about?"
"It's about the school's Han embroidery activity today," Qin Shan handed the phone to Ji Ruan: "Senior Zi Zhang didn't come. Isn't she Teacher Cheng's only daughter?"
Ji Ruan roughly flipped through his phone, which was full of photos of events. Lin Qing was closely following a lady whose features were somewhat similar to Cheng Zizhang's. She must be the legendary Teacher Cheng.
He returned the phone to Qin Shan: "Senior is sick and is in the hospital. She will definitely not come today."
"How do you know?"
Han Xiaolin suddenly realized: "So you went to help her embroider things that day because she was sick?"
Qin Shan was shocked: "What do you mean, Ji Ruan, can you also embroider that kind of delicate work?"
Ji Ruan was amused by his choice of words: "A little bit."
Except for Han Xiaolin, the other two were amazed again.
Qin Shan, a loyal fan of Cheng Zizhang, thought about it and sighed: "If Senior Sister Zizhang is not here, I won't watch the live broadcast later. It's boring."
Li Yu retorted: "Why are we watching live broadcasts when we are out having fun? Aren't we worthy of it?"
Qin Shan laughed: "Brothers are more important!"
·
The three of them took a lot of photos during the trip. Ji Ruan, a ghost who would be overexposed, was not worthy of joining them, but he was unwilling to do so, so he held up his mobile phone and worked with Gu Xiuyi to find the best angles to take the only photo that they were satisfied with and sent it to Aunt Zhao.
After riding the pony carriage with a thrill index of 0, the three roommates prepared to ride the roller coaster with the loudest screams. Ji Ruan couldn't ride it because he vomited before he got halfway on it.
Gu Xiuyi directly proposed to act in groups, and his roommates immediately understood and disappeared and ran to line up.
Ji Ruan's heart moved, knowing that Gu Xiuyi was probably going to take him to see a surprise.
The two walked side by side, and Ji Ruan asked tentatively: "Where are we going?"
Gu Xiuyi led him around the crowd and kept him in suspense with a smile: "You will know later."
Ji Ruan's curiosity was aroused.
Originally, he thought Gu Xiuyi was going to take him to experience a newly developed facility in the park that had not yet been put into use, but Gu Xiuyi led him further and further away, all the way to the entrance to the work area in the corner. There was a sign in front of the heavy gate saying "No entry for unauthorized persons".
Gu Xiuyi ignored the sign and helped Ji Ruan push the door and go straight in. The staff next to them saw this scene and did not try to dissuade them.
Ji Ruan followed Gu Xiuyi in the employee elevator and went straight up to the top floor. When the elevator door opened, he found that the central control room was outside. Through the hollow glass of the door, he could see employees working inside.
Ji Ruan gradually became a little confused.
He knew that the park was funded by Gu Xiuyi. Could it be that this man wanted to bring him here to inspect the work and experience life, and give him a unique special birthday experience?
But Gu Xiuyi did not stop for a second in front of the control room. Instead, he continued to move forward, walked to the end and pushed open a door.
It was a dark corridor. It turned out there was another floor above, but that floor was not even accessible by the elevator, so one had to go up the stairs.
Ji Ruan and Gu Xiuyi walked in and the door behind them closed naturally. Without the bright incandescent light outside, the entire corridor was dark. Only the green light of the emergency passage was dimly lit. It was eerie and didn't look like a place for birthday surprises at all.
Ji Ruan swallowed and pulled Gu Xiuyi's sleeve: "What on earth are you going to do?"
His voice was very soft, but it floated in the corridor and actually echoed slightly.
"It's okay," Gu Xiuyi pinched Ji Ruan's fingertips and said, "Just go up."
He took Ji Ruan's hand and walked up the stairs carefully. After a few steps, he felt Ji Ruan's palms sweating. He smiled and said, "Are you scared?"
Ji Ruan did not hide anything and asked anxiously, "You won't sell me out, will you?"
The smile in Gu Xiuyi's voice became more obvious: "Which human trafficker would kidnap a glass person like you? We don't do business at a loss."
"…Do you think I'm hard to support?"
"It's not disgust." Gu Xiuyi seemed to have reached the point, and he stopped and held Ji Ruan's shoulders: "It's the truth."
"——I am the only one who dares to raise one."
The two stopped in front of another door. Although Ji Ruan couldn't see clearly, he could feel that the door in front of him was different from the previous uniform gray-white iron doors. It was a very heavy solid wooden door. When it was gently pushed open, it made a heavy friction sound.
It should be a large and empty room inside, but it was extremely dark, and even the green light in the corridor was gone.
Ji Ruan's heart suddenly tightened as he completely lost his vision.
Gu Xiuyi said at this time: "Stand here and don't move. Wait for me for a moment. I will be back soon."
"Ah?" Ji Ruan panicked: "But I..."
Before he could finish his words, the person next to him had disappeared.
He felt around, but couldn't see anything.
The overly quiet and dark environment made him a little scared. His heart started beating fast, hitting his eardrums louder and louder.
After a while, something suddenly touched the back of his hand. The touch was extremely disgusting. Ji Ruan shook it off and took a step back. It seemed that he stepped on something soft, and he was so scared that he almost fell down.
"Ji Ruan!"
At the critical moment, someone grabbed his wrist. Hearing a familiar voice, Ji Ruan immediately dived into the arms of the person with a "wu".
"What's wrong?" Gu Xiuyi put an arm around his shoulder.
Ji Ruan tightly pinched the corner of his clothes: "Something is touching me!"
"No, it was me," Gu Xiuyi patted his back to comfort him, "I was the one who touched you just now."
"You? Why are you touching me?! No, no..." Ji Ruan was incoherent: "It's not you, it's sticky, wet, and cold... Anyway, it's not a human!"
Gu Xiuyi suddenly fell silent for a few seconds.
Ji Ruan became even more panicked when he heard that he didn't speak, thinking that there was really something unclean: "Wu, what on earth are you going to do..."
"Turn on the light."
"……ah?"
Gu Xiuyi pinched the back of his neck: "Be good, I'm not talking about you."
He tilted his head and raised his voice: "Turn on the light!"
Snap——
A white light flashed before Ji Ruan's eyes, and the room was suddenly filled with fluorescent white light, and he could see his surroundings clearly.
“…”
So many flowers...
Except for the small space where he was standing, the ground was covered with a kind of beautiful white flowers whose names he didn't know. They looked particularly romantic under the gentle light.
But several of them had been trampled down by him.
Ji Ruan: “…”
Gu Xiuyi was also holding a large bouquet of flowers in his hand, which was a mixture of small flowers on the ground and yellow roses. There were water droplets on the beautiful petals.
An idea suddenly flashed through Ji Ruan's mind, and the tips of his ears began to turn red. He pointed at the bouquet and said, "That wet and sticky thing, could it be this..."
Gu Xiuyi's expression was also a little stiff: "Yes."
He originally wanted to bring a bouquet of flowers to give Ji Ruan a surprise, but the bouquet was too big and touched Ji Ruan's hand first. As a result, the child was scared before he could say anything.
Knowing that he had made a mistake, Ji Ruan touched the tip of his nose and his voice became smaller and smaller: "Then...what about that cold one?"
Gu Xiuyi raised his other hand and spread out his palm, and a bracelet appeared in front of Ji Ruan.
It is a very simple style, with a small flower inlaid with diamonds in the middle. It looks like the same kind of small flowers everywhere, so it should be custom-made.
The birthday surprise almost failed because of this little incident, but Gu Xiuyi's expression did not change much. He tried to maintain a calm expression and tried to complete the process.
He asked Ji Ruan to hold the bouquet. The large bouquet almost completely covered Ji Ruan's upper body. He looked at the flowers twice and put them at his feet, then solemnly tied the bracelet around Ji Ruan's wrist.
“A birthday present.”
Ji Ruan has thin and white wrists, and this extremely simple thin chain especially suits his temperament.
Staff members started to come in and move things around. Ji Ruan's cheeks turned completely red. She lowered her head and buried it in front of Gu Xiuyi, trying to get him to help her block it.
The staff member only came in for a short while and left quickly. The flowers on the ground were moved to create a path. The blackout curtain in front of the room was opened, and Ji Ruan realized that there was a long glass window there.
He picked up the bouquet and walked over, placing the flowers on the small table in front of the window, then overlooked the entire park.
The indoor park keeps its lights on day and night, with countless flowing halos unfolding before your eyes, like the charming night view of a city, or like stars flowing back into rivers and seas.
"Wow..." Ji Ruan couldn't help but move closer and put his palm against the glass.
Gu Xiuyi saw the small slap mark he left again.
"This place was originally intended to be an observation deck," Gu Xiuyi said, "but it was never built and has been empty ever since. I thought you might like it."
"I like it." Ji Ruan murmured.
He stared at it in fascination for a while, then suddenly looked at Gu Xiuyi with some complaints in his eyes: "So why don't you just bring me to see this? I obviously like both the flower bracelet and this window, why did you scare me..."
Gu Xiuyi looked a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I looked up some information and consulted some experienced people, and they all said that a dark environment is more suitable for creating a surprise."
His sudden serious look made Ji Ruan want to laugh: "Hmm... the experienced person you are talking about is not Doctor Li, right?"
After all, Li Suian is the only friend around Gu Xiuyi who has a smooth relationship.
The strategist behind the scenes was exposed. Gu Xiuyi covered his lips and coughed, but said nothing.
Ji Ruan smiled and gently touched the small flower on the bracelet: "No... I don't mean to blame you, I'm just a little scared."
Gu Xiuyi sighed and pinched his earlobe: "It won't be like this again... The flower is a pure white daffodil."
Ji Ruan raised his eyes: "Why did you give me this?"
Gu Xiuyi seemed a little surprised: "Your birthday flower, don't you know?"
That day, he heard Ji Ruan embroidering birthday flowers for Cheng Zizhang and wanting to give him an extra gift, and he thought Ji Ruan cared a lot about such small but meaningful things.
The pure white daffodil was meant to be intoxicating. His original intention was to hope that Ji Ruan could have an intoxicating and happy birthday, but it was a little messed up and scared him.
Ji Ruan was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know and had never checked his birthday flowers. He never thought that Gu Xiuyi would give him a room full of flowers.
"Thank you."
Gu Xiuyi saw that Ji Ruan's eyes were also reflecting the flickering light outside the window, and his voice floated in his ears like the fluttering wings of a butterfly:
“I love this birthday.”
