However, Lin Ye didn't pay attention to what was being posted in the live chat, nor did he see Wang Meng's earnest words; his attention remained focused on Xiao Douzi.

Wang Meng tried several more times without success, so he had to give up.

He began to try the old method he used before, devoutly calling out to Lin Ye, hoping for a response.

The people, each with their own thoughts, began to look at the sky again.

Under the canopy, Lin Ye continued to lead the two children to play on the rope net adventure and trampoline.

Rope Net Adventure is a huge three-dimensional maze woven from colorful rope nets, extending from the ground to a platform nearly two stories high.

The entire rope maze resembles a colorful dreamcatcher magnified hundreds of times, with red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple interwoven to form countless nets.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps, casting a dappled web of light and shadow on the ground, the spots constantly shifting shape as the figures crawled across them.

The air was filled with the distinctive, rough smell of hemp rope, mixed with the aroma of dried wood that had been baked in the afternoon sun.

The netting has squares of varying sizes; some are large enough for an adult to squeeze through sideways, while others are small enough for a small bag to step into with one foot.

The surface of the hemp rope is rough and has a lot of friction. When you step on it, you can feel the rope sinking slightly under your feet and then bouncing back.

Duoduo cheered and rushed up, using both hands and feet to climb up the net, her orange-yellow down jacket moving little by little inside the rope net.

Little Douzi followed behind her, climbing much more slowly. He had to grab the knot on the rope with his hands before taking each step, making sure he had a firm grip before putting his feet up.

And so, step by step, I steadily climbed to the top.

Little Douzi gripped the railing at the edge of the top platform with both hands and shouted down, "Godfather! I've climbed to the top!"

Lin Ye stood on the ground, holding the string of her rabbit balloon in his hand, looking up at her.

Hearing the shout, he smiled and raised his other hand, waving it at her from side to side, and finally gave her a thumbs up to show that she was great!

……

After sliding down the slide from the top of the rope net, the group went to play in a large trampoline area next door.

The trampoline is surrounded by a round, inflatable enclosure with colorful little star patterns printed on it.

In the middle was a large, highly elastic black bed surface, where several children were jumping around.

Each time they landed on the bed, their bodies would be thrown back out, making the children laugh heartily, and the enclosure was filled with joyful chatter.

Duoduo took off her shoes and jumped onto the bed. When her feet landed on the bed, she was bounced up about half a foot high, then fell down and bounced up again.

She started bouncing on the trampoline with "Wow—Wow," her whole body rising and falling, the yellow pom-pom on top of her hat swinging behind her like a little tail attached to her head.

When Xiaodouzi came back from the toilet, he saw that Duoduo was having a great time, so he quickly took off his snow boots, put on his cotton socks, and climbed up.

She skipped and hopped to find Duoduo, who saw her and started skipping over to her too.

The two little girls successfully jumped to one place, and then they held hands, jumped up at the same time, landed at the same time, and were bounced up at the same time.

Each time I jumped, distant buildings would briefly cross the fence and enter my field of vision before disappearing again.

……

By the time we had tried all the activities, it was already evening.

The sun had turned a thick, orange-red color and hung obliquely on the top of the tower on the west side of the amusement park.

The tower is a medieval-style clock tower, with the weathervane on its spire turning slowly in the evening breeze, its edge gilded by the setting sun.

The clouds had dispersed a bit, and the sunset bathed the entire amusement park in a warm twilight.

The building's exterior walls were dyed the color of honey, and the shadows cast on the ground were stretched very long, spreading across the reddish-brown bricks like silhouette paintings.

Then they encountered the parade floats.

As the group walked past the corner of the main road, they heard cheerful music and then two large, brightly decorated floats slowly drove by.

The float in front was decorated like a moving fairytale castle, covered with colorful lights and flowers. Several actresses dressed in princess dresses stood on the platform at the edge, waving and throwing candy to the children on the roadside.

The float behind them was themed around the underwater world, decorated with huge seashells and corals, and a giant plush octopus sat on the roof.

Eight tentacles hung down from the roof of the vehicle, swaying gently to the music. Each tentacle was adorned with a small bell, which jingled and chimed as they swayed.

Behind the float stood an LED sign that scrolled the message: "In five minutes, the grand show 'Wonderland' will begin at the amusement park's central stage. Admission is free with your ticket."

A large group of tourists followed the two floats, with children running around on both sides of the floats, reaching out to catch candy thrown by the performers, and parents taking pictures with their mobile phones.

Duoduo has sharp eyes and was the first to see the words on the LED sign through the crowd.

She peered through the gaps in the crowd, then excitedly grabbed Xiaodouzi's arm, repeated the contents of the sign, and suggested:

"Let's go see a show! We're a bit tired from walking, let's sit down and rest."

Xiao Douzi readily agreed; after playing all day, she was indeed a little tired.

Lin Ye and Aunt Li naturally listened to them.

The two floats were also heading in that direction, so the group simply followed them.

Meanwhile, the number of people gathering behind them increased significantly over the next few minutes, and they all marched together to the center.

This is a large circular plaza, paved with large marble tiles, and in the very center of the plaza is a huge circular stage.

Above the stage is a full-length LED screen, currently playing an animation of the amusement park's mascot—a green cartoon dinosaur running and jumping around on the screen while holding up balloons.

In front of the stage are seats arranged in a fan shape, extending from the rows closest to the stage all the way to the steps at the edge of the square.

The seats are divided into three areas: the regular area, the VIP area, and the SVIP area.

The regular section has cement benches, the VIP section has plastic chairs with backrests, and the SVIP section has rattan chairs with cushions. Each seat also has a small round table next to it, with a program and a bottle of water on the table.

Lin Ye bought the highest-level SVIP tickets. The ticket inspector glanced at their ticket stubs and called over another staff member to lead them to the front row, right in the middle.

Little Douzi sank into the soft rattan chair, tied the rabbit balloon to the armrest, and picked up the program on the table to flip through it—

The program list shows the performance schedule, which includes singing and dancing, stage plays, and mysterious interactive segments marked with question marks.

Just as Xiao Douzi was wondering what these question marks meant, the performance began.

The LED screen on the stage switched to a starry sky background, with tiny white dots dotting the purple backdrop, as if a window to the stars had truly been opened on that screen.

The music started first, a light drumbeat spread, and the cheerful rhythm made people sway along unconsciously.

Then the lights suddenly came on from both sides of the stage, illuminating the entire stage as if it were daytime.
