Chapter 74: Managing Nanjing 2



Qin Baobao looked at Zhao Xiaofei, lost in thought, and thought he was thinking about Jiang Xiaomei. She said, "We're out here to have some fun, not to dwell on unhappy things. Let's go find some excitement, how about a roller coaster?"

Zhao Xiaofei's face immediately changed when he heard about the roller coaster. He had ridden one once when he was a child, when his older brother took him on one. But he had never ridden one again because he was really scared that time.

Qin Baobao knew immediately that Zhao Xiaofei was scared. This only intensified her enthusiasm. She dragged Zhao Xiaofei onto the bus and headed to Ginkgo Lake Amusement Park. By the time they arrived, it was already afternoon. There weren't many people around, so Zhao Xiaofei and Qin Baobao got on the roller coaster together.

When the car started, Zhao Xiaofei wasn't nervous. But as they began to climb, and watched themselves drifting further and further from the ground, Zhao Xiaofei began to get nervous. Horrifying memories washed over him from deep within his heart, even the Qian father and son he had murdered. It was as if they were laughing, but he couldn't make out their faces. When they reached the top of the hill, as the car slid down at high speed, he realized they had no heads at all; they were two headless corpses, laughing at him.

Zhao Xiaofei screamed in shock, "Ah!" His voice was an octave higher than the screams of the girl behind him! Qin Baobao felt a little embarrassed, feeling so awkward. The boy behind him thought to himself, "Girl! Your boyfriend is no good! He screamed even louder than a girl, isn't that embarrassing? Just go home and take a shower!"

After the ride ended, Zhao Xiaofei returned to normal. Apparently, he had a trauma in his heart. He got off the roller coaster and sat on a chair nearby, panting heavily, with beads of sweat dripping down his head. Qin Baobao took out a tissue to wipe Zhao Xiaofei's sweat, and the men passing by were filled with envy and jealousy.

Qin Baobao said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you would be so scared!" A hint of guilt appeared on her face.

"It's okay! The last time I sat on it was when I was very young, and my elder brother accompanied me! I haven't sat on it in so many years! Can we sit on it again?" Zhao Xiaofei said.

Qin Baobao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't force yourself!"

"No pushover! A man should be brave enough to challenge himself!" Zhao Xiaofei said. He wanted to dispel his own psychological shadow. Since riding a roller coaster could bring it out, he had to face it bravely. Let's see if the shadows of the Qian family father and son will appear again this time.

The two of them rode it again, and this time Zhao Xiaofei didn't experience any hallucinations. He kept his eyes open the entire time, only accidentally grabbing Qin Baobao's hand when he was nervous. Qin Baobao had long been immune to roller coasters; her sister, Qin Xiaomi, loved them the most. As a result, she had long lost interest in the ride, and Zhao Xiaofei's tugging on her hand only made it more thrilling.

Qin Baobao had only one early romance, in high school, and her mother caught her. Before they could even hold hands, her mother broke up the relationship. Later, when she went to college, she was so beautiful that she had countless boys chasing her, but she just fell in love with her college Chinese teacher, a handsome, middle-aged man. Sadly, when she finally confessed her feelings, she discovered that the teacher was already married, with a child who was already a child. This was a huge blow to Qin Baobao, and she never dated again.

Today, Zhao Xiaofei held her hand, and she felt like love was coming. She seemed to feel her heartbeat, and she felt safe with this man. She liked his infatuation and his innocence. Although he was not infatuated with her, she was confident. She believed that if they were together like this often, this man would fall in love with her sooner or later.

After getting off the roller coaster, the two drove to sing karaoke. Zhao Xiaofei ordered a bunch of sad songs, such as Zhang Yu's "Good Intentions", Xu Zhian's "Why Did You Love Someone Else Behind My Back", and Jiang Yuheng's "Looking Back Again".

Qin Baobao smiled and said, "Xiao Fei! I feel like we are not from the same generation. The songs you sing are all the ones my dad likes to listen to."
