Chapter 30

Gu Hongying saw that Yu Tu and Xiao Nen Ya were almost forming an emoticon pack, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be sure that it's you who's unlucky. What if you are a rare genius?"

Yu Tu opened one eye and glanced at Gu Hongying. The small bud followed and turned a leaf. Then the eyes closed and the leaves returned to their original positions. Yu Tu said sadly: "...You don't understand."

If there hadn't been that sudden inheritance, that mysterious bead, that strange voice in the dream, and that coincidence at the beginning of the comic, Yu Tu would never have realized that there was another mysterious world outside of ordinary life.

He is like the adzuki bean among red beans, or the chicken among cranes; even though they look similar in appearance, they are ultimately different in nature.

Once a person forms a deep-rooted view, it is difficult to change his opinion in a short period of time. Gu Hongying has no intention of arguing with him on this topic. He believes that time will test everything.

Skipping this unpleasant topic, Gu Hongying said excitedly: "An Jiajia will leave with the people from Guixu tomorrow, so we plan to hold a farewell ceremony. Which do you think is more interesting, a picnic on the top of the mountain, a night swim in the river, or a cave exploration?"

"A picnic on the mountaintop is relaxing, a nighttime river swim allows you to experience the natural world, and a cave exploration creates unforgettable memories———" Gu Hongying said with great emotion, "Isn't it very creative and unique?"

Yu Tu: “……?”

He looked at Meng Ziqiu, Lu Yayin, and Qin Fei. Except for An Jiajia, everyone had a look of shock.

"Xiao Hongying, let's not talk about how it's super cold and windy on the mountain at night, and how easy it is to get leg cramps if you swim in the cold water at night. The legend about the cave is fake, and there are only bare rocks inside." Lu Yayin complained, "Even if we are not ordinary people who can ignore these problems, but——"

She pointed at An Jiajia and said, "We're going to have a picnic on the top of the mountain. Should we eat and burn incense for An Jiajia?"

Gu Hongying gave an awkward but polite smile: "Cross this out."

"An Jiajia will become a ghost cultivator in the future, and her remains will eventually return to her grave. Now it's just a temporary use. Let's go swimming - aren't you afraid that a giant will appear if the corpse is soaked in water?"

Gu Hongying's voice gradually weakened: "...Then remove this one too."

The ruthless Lu Yayin delivered the final blow: "The path in the cave is not easy to walk on, have you considered An Jiajia's feet?"

Gu Hongying: “…”

He lay back, sinking into the sofa, and made the same peaceful expression as Yu Tu.

Two people and one bud, quietly pretending to be dead together.

After pretending to be dead for a while, Gu Hongying opened one eye and glanced at Yu Tu: "Are my three plans really completely devoid of merit?"

Yu Tu heard Gu Hongying's question. Xiao Nen Ya turned away, but Yu Tu continued to maintain a calm expression: "Why don't you ask yourself?"

Gu Hongying has a kind heart, he is straightforward and pure, and he can clearly distinguish between good and evil. He feels sorry for An Jiajia who has suffered so much at such a young age and has to leave her family to practice in an unknown world, so he wants to create some good memories for her as much as possible while she stays in the outer world.

Gu Hongying scratched his hair in distress, watching Yu Tu close one eye, and opened the other to glance at An Jiajia: "I asked her, and she said it's up to us."

The leaves of the tender buds on Yu Tu's head suddenly stopped for a moment. He actually could understand An Jiajia a little bit. When accepting someone's kindness, the first reaction is whether it will cause trouble to others.

"Jia Jia." Yu Tu suddenly asked, "Have you ever been to an amusement park?"

An Jiajia was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "Mom and Dad... are busy... they haven't been there..."

An Jiajia usually has to go to school, and her parents are busy with work, so they have never had time. After she injured her foot, she didn't want to go out at all.

"Are you interested?" he continued.

An Jiajia looked at him with bloodshot eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Yu Tu turned and looked at Gu Hongying.

Gu Hongying opened his mouth and was about to wonder, "Aren't you tired of going to those places when you were a child?", but when he saw the vague expectation in An Jiajia's bloodshot eyes, he suddenly couldn't ask.

Perhaps not all parents in this world can be like his parents. Even if they are busy with work, they will not miss every crucial growth in their lives. Maybe their parents will hold their hands to go to the amusement park, drive them on a short trip, accompany them to visit museums and planetariums, and sketch in an aquarium... Not all children can experience these.

Gu Hongying recalled a book he had read in the sunshine a long time ago. There was a sentence in the book:

[Whenever you feel like criticizing someone, remember that not everyone in this world has the advantages that you have.]

The same statement applies at other times.

Gu Hongying's momentary regret was not noticed by anyone. After self-reflection, he became cheerful again: "Then let's go to the amusement park. I'll buy the tickets!"

"I didn't know you didn't like my previous suggestion. I'm sorry." Gu Hongying apologized to An Jiajia earnestly, "I should have considered it more from your perspective."

An Jiajia waved her hands repeatedly. Her speech function was damaged after all. She spoke very slowly: "It's okay. Everything is fine."

A hint of smile spread across her bloodshot eyes: "I'm very happy."

———Even though she is no longer human, even though they have only known each other for a short time, he still takes her feelings seriously and hopes that she can be happy.

This thoughtfulness is more important than the sense of ceremony.

…

After deciding to go to the amusement park, Gu Hongying quickly bought six tickets for the night show. After successfully purchasing the tickets, he took out a box of pins from his pocket and gave a handful to each person.

"I counted and there are a total of 19 baby spirit dolls that can still move. We will each take three and Tutu will take four." Gu Hongying said, "Let's take them all to play together!"

The baby spirits that possessed the dolls did not feel any pain, and Gu Hongying had already planned to use pins to pin them on their clothes and take them away.

Qin Fei looked at the pin in his palm and was puzzled: "Among your previous three plans... is this one included?"

"Of course." Gu Hongying didn't think there was anything wrong. "How could we go to hold a farewell ceremony and leave them alone in the ward?"

Others: “…”

The intention is good, but——

Is it really a good idea to take them to the top of the mountain to enjoy the mountain breeze, to the river to soak in the water, and to the cave to scratch around?

The room fell into a rare silence, and it was finally broken by Lu Yayin:

"The dolls are quite large, and they'll be too conspicuous if they're hung there. I'll prepare some concealment charms and put one on each of them."

*

At night, Qin Fei drove the car and the group followed the navigation to the largest amusement park in the city. Various cartoon patterns were lit up at the entrance of the amusement park. At the top of the several-meter-high gate, the three words "Amusement Park" looked childish and cute.

There were parents bringing their children to play, groups of students, and young couples holding hands... It was bustling with people, laughter, and the smell of various snacks wafted over from time to time, making it particularly lively.

They checked their tickets and entered the amusement park. As soon as they entered, Gu Hongying bought six glowing headbands from a stall at the door and put one on each of their heads.

He said solemnly: "This is called atmosphere."

Meng Ziqiu, with glowing panda ears: "..."

Qin Fei, with his horns bent and shining: "..."

Lu Yayin with pink cat ears: "..."

An Jiajia with angel wings: "..."

Yu Tu, who was wearing plush rabbit ears: "..."

The four people and the ghost looked at him speechlessly.

"Why am I a cute cat——" Lu Yayin was the first to be dissatisfied, "You are the handsome wolf ears!"

Gu Hongying gave a sly smile and pressed his head, causing the small light strips around the wolf's ears to flash rapidly: "Look! Handsome, isn't it!"

Lu Yayin: “…”

She felt like a moron for arguing with Gu Hongying just now.

Gu Hongying turned on the switches of Lu Yayin, An Jiajia, and Yu Tu's headbands one by one. The five people and one ghost stood in a row, and the effect was extremely cool.

Meng Ziqiu silently took out a mask and put it on.

Gu Hongying: "Meng Group! Have fun with the people, Meng Group!!!"

I don't know if it was because the atmosphere in the amusement park was too relaxed, Gu Hongying became much bolder. Of course, it could also be that his plea was too pathetic, and Meng Ziqiu couldn't afford to lose face. So after the two looked at each other for a while, the thin-skinned one gave in first - Meng Ziqiu took off his mask, folded it, and put it back in his pocket.

The six people and one ghost experienced all the facilities in the amusement park—

Everyone in the roller coaster was screaming. Except for Meng Ziqiu, everyone showed off their strong lung capacity. After one round, no one admitted that their legs were weak, so there were second and third rounds. In the end, Lu Yayin surrendered first.

The five-pointed star at the center of the big pendulum formed a smooth arc. After fastening the safety belt, you sit on it. The rotating pendulum swings back and forth. The first person to be shaken dizzy is Yu Tu. After getting off, the rabbit ears on his head can't stand up.

In the bumper car event, the six people went crazy and almost dominated the whole field. In the end, Qin Fei overturned the bumper cars of the other four people and ended the duel with Meng Ziqiu;

Inside the pirate ship, the boat swayed wildly and the strange lights kept shining on the tourists. An Jiajia's already covered face looked even more terrifying under the light than a horror movie. The tourists around her were shouting at sky-high decibels, almost making people deaf.

On the merry-go-round, the spirits with hidden charms on them made "ah" and "wow" sounds in the music. They were expressionless dolls, but they looked happy.

As they walked through the haunted house, they were calmer than the other. With other tourists screaming and running around in the background, they leisurely studied the mechanisms inside the haunted house and closely observed the makeup on the staff's faces. Finally, they walked out of the haunted house at a leisurely pace.

…

They tried all the attractions in the amusement park, and in the end the only thing left was the iconic building in the amusement park - the Ferris wheel.

The Ferris wheel is very tall and large, estimated to be several dozen meters long. Colorful lights surround each car. Standing under the Ferris wheel and looking up, the gorgeous lights fill one's vision.

Gu Hongying asked Yu Tu and the others to line up first, while he quietly slipped away from the side. When it was almost their turn, Gu Hongying finally came back sweating profusely, but he was holding a large box wrapped tightly in his hand, looking mysterious.

Because this Ferris wheel is built tall, each cabin is spacious and six people can fit in together without feeling too crowded.

When the Ferris wheel left the ground and began to rise slowly, Gu Hongying placed the tightly wrapped large box on his knees and tore off the wrapping paper neatly, revealing a beautiful cake.

He nudged Yu Tu with his elbow: "Why are you standing there? Help me!"

The two of them took the cake out of the box in a hurry. Then Gu Hongying held it while Yu Tu put candles on it one by one.

Qin Fei contributed his lighter and lit the candle.

The light from the burning candle instantly overwhelmed the light in the car.

"An Jiajia——" In the candlelight, Gu Hongying handed the cake to her and said, "Make a wish!"

"Although today is not your birthday, you will go to Guixu tomorrow. A new life, a new beginning!"

The pain is gone and a bright future is slowly unfolding.

Gu Hongying passed the cake forward and smiled, showing his big white teeth: "I know the cake is very vulgar, but——blessings are priceless!"

Meng Ziqiu played the piano version of Happy Birthday on her mobile phone, and Lu Yayin gently pushed her.

Ghosts cannot shed tears, they have long lost the ability to cry, but at this moment, everyone felt that An Jiajia seemed to be about to cry.

An Jiajia blinked, and after the hatred, confusion and hesitation faded away, her blood-red eyes looked like a pair of clear rubies.

The Ferris wheel rose slowly and reached the highest point. At this moment, An Jiajia blew out the candles on the cake, and thunderous applause rang out in the carriage.

The Ferris wheel symbolizes happiness. Blowing out the candles that symbolize blessing at the highest point will allow happiness to stay at this moment forever.

Outside the glass, the sky is full of twinkling stars, the ground is full of bright lights, and the joyful laughter seems to come from the clouds, and finally falls into the nostalgic and gentle world.
