Chapter 448: Chapter 448
At three in the afternoon, five pairs of guests arrived at the amusement park in Fushou Mountain.
Today was not a weekend, and it was the afternoon, so there were not many tourists on the mountain, and even fewer in the amusement park.
The director told everyone to play here in the afternoon, and they could choose whatever attractions they wanted; the crew would not interfere.
Mansa and Gu Yingying were both quite timid, and just the sight of roller coasters and pendulum rides had their legs going soft in advance.
Qin Lang was a mild-mannered man and didn’t like seeking thrills either, "Wife, didn’t you say you wanted to ride the carousel when we were on our way here? Let’s start with that. Later, I’ll take pictures of you to show our son when we get back."
Mansa nodded: "Okay, make sure you take good-looking pictures of me."
Qin Lang: "You’re already very beautiful."
Mansa had distinct facial features, thick brows, and large eyes; with makeup on, her already deep-set eyes and brows became even more delicate.
A content smile spread across Mansa’s face.
"Then let’s head to the carousel first," Qin Lang said and led Mansa away from the main group.
The photographer assigned to them followed along.
Su Ye and Gu Yingying, on the other hand, went to the go-kart track.
Su Tutu, clutching Sheng Chao’s arm, looked up at the tall roller coaster: "Xixi, do you want to play on this?"
Qiao Xi pursed her lips. She was a little scared but also somewhat eager to try, so she didn’t say anything for a while.
As a child, Qiao Zhenbin and Cen Ya often took her to amusement parks.
Since Cen Ya’s death, Qiao Xi had never been to an amusement park again.
Returning here after many years, the memories of her childhood with Cen Ya felt as vivid as ever.
Back then she was too young to go on dangerous rides, and the adults wouldn’t let her on the exciting ones, leading her to wish she were older. But when she finally grew up, she lost interest in them.
Yet now, her heart itched.
"Want to give it a try?"
The voice of Shen Dang reached her ears, low and full of texture.
Qiao Xi lifted her gaze toward him.
Shen Dang grinned: "With me here, there’s no need to be afraid. If you get scared, just grab my hand tightly, and you won’t be afraid anymore."
Perhaps because Shen Dang was by her side, Qiao Xi mustered a bit of courage.
She nodded slightly: "Then let’s give it a try."
Su Tutu was eager to try: "I’ve wanted to ride a roller coaster for a long time, so let’s all go together and queue up quickly."
Seeing her enthusiastic appearance, Sheng Chao had no choice but to accompany her.
The staff attached action cameras to them.
The photographer stayed on the ground to take panoramic shots of them.
It was their turn to queue up.
Su Tutu and Sheng Chao sat at the very front.
Qiao Xi and Shen Dang took their seats behind them.
The staff checked the safety equipment.
Su Tutu turned back to Qiao Xi: "Xixi, don’t be afraid. If you are, just bite Boss Shen’s hand."
Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh: "What kind of logic is that? Will biting his hand make me not afraid?"
Su Tutu giggled: "It’s to divert your attention."
Sheng Chao turned Su Tutu’s face, speaking earnestly: "Tutu, if you get scared you can also..."
Su Tutu’s face showed only excitement: "I’m not scared at all. After this ride, I even want to go a second time."
Sheng Chao: "... Let’s finish this ride first then."
The machine advanced on the track.
Such sounds can easily create psychological pressure.
Qiao Xi suddenly gripped the handrail tightly. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet
The next second, a familiar warmth spread through her hand.
Shen Dang pulled her hand over, his fingers interlacing with hers, both hands tightly clasped together.
Qiao Xi bent her eyes into a smile.
The mountain breeze came, bringing a hint of cool comfort, dispersing the heat in her heart.
Shen Dang looked far into the distance: "The scenery below is very beautiful."
Qiao Xi followed his gaze outwards.
The entirety of Fushou Mountain lay beneath their feet.
The bustling Ping City was also fully in their view.
The busy city traffic seemed tiny in her eyes.
Everything else seemed insignificant.
And beside her was one person.
The roller coaster glided out.
The intense feeling of weightlessness made Qiao Xi involuntarily close her eyes and scream.
It was both scary and thrilling.
Su Tutu, however, shouted excitedly; she didn’t even close her eyes, allowing the mountain scenery to constantly change before her.
Qiao Xi was tense all over, not daring to relax throughout the ride.
Instinctively, she gripped Shen Dang’s hand very tightly.
Shen Dang’s other hand also covered hers.
It’s hard to tell how long it took before the machine finally stopped.
The feeling of weightlessness was gone, but Qiao Xi’s legs were still weak.
Shen Dang unbuckled his seat belt and saw that Qiao Xi hadn’t moved from her seat, so he picked her up.
Qiao Xi nestled in his arms.
Shen Dang lowered his eyes, laughing softly: "Do you want to go again?"
Qiao Xi shook her head: "No more."
Her voice was still trembling.
Su Tutu was extremely excited: "I want to go again!"
She hugged Sheng Chao’s arm and coaxed: "Husband, let’s go again, please?"
Sheng Chao raised an eyebrow: "You want to play that much?"
Su Tutu nodded firmly.
The coldness in Sheng Chao’s eyes was replaced with an indescribable indulgence, a tenderness so thick it couldn’t be dissolved.
He said: "Then let’s ride again."
Therefore, Su Tutu rewarded him with a kiss.
Shen Dang took Qiao Xi to leave first.
Once on solid ground, Qiao Xi finally felt her heart return to its place.
Seeing Qiao Xi’s somewhat pale face, Shen Dang caressed her cheek: "You sit here for a while."
Qiao Xi lifted her phoenix eyes: "Where are you going?"
Shen Dang went to a mobile food cart and came back with a bottle of water.
"Drink some water first."
He unscrewed the cap before handing the water bottle to Qiao Xi.
After Qiao Xi had drunk, she handed it to him.
Shen Dang also took a few sips, then sat beside her, and turned his head to ask: "What else do you want to play?"
"Something exciting, but different—no more roller coasters."
Shen Dang chuckled: "You’re already scared, yet you still want to play?"
Indeed, she was scared.
But after a round on the roller coaster, she felt quite relaxed.
"I’ll play," Qiao Xi’s lips curved slightly: "After all, you’re here with me."
"Okay," Shen Dang’s lips curled into a smile: "How about we go on the pendulum ride? That’s not as intense."
Qiao Xi nodded: "Okay, let’s wait for Tutu and Brother Chao to come, then go together."
She needed to rest a little longer.
After riding the roller coaster twice, Sheng Chao and Su Tutu had wobbly legs; their bodies walked ahead while their souls lagged behind.
Seeing her spirited appearance, Qiao Xi smiled and asked: "Tutu, the pendulum ride, will you go?"
Su Tutu nodded vigorously: "Yes, let’s do it! Today, let’s play all the thrilling attractions we can, otherwise, it’d be a waste."
No sooner said than done.
The group went to queue for the pendulum ride.
Having the experience from before, Qiao Xi was not that scared anymore.
At the peak of the ride, she even opened her eyes.
How should she put it?
The feeling was fresh and exhilarating.
Afterward, they rode the drop tower.
The thrilling experiences of today would be unforgettable for Qiao Xi.
When they finished with the thrilling rides, the four of them headed to the go-karts, where they saw Su Ye and his wife, along with Xiao Nai and his wife.
Zhu Zhu called out to them: "You guys are here too, come and play! Teacher Su and Sister Yingying have become veterans here."
They had stayed there ever since they came, playing continuously.
Xiao Nai said: "With so many people, why don’t we have a race?"
