……

They drove in silence, and Song Wu delivered Cheng Fei to his apartment building without missing a beat.

"Get off the bus."

"Thank you."

"By the way, kid, Miss is free tomorrow and the day after. Don't tell anyone I told you."

Cheng Fei turned around, only to find that Song Wu had already rolled up the car window and driven away.

Cheng Fei stood there for a moment, then turned and went upstairs.

When I got home, I first took a shower in the bathroom, washing my hands with soap during the shower.

Afterwards, I ordered takeout and did a few sets of planks and a few sets of grip strengthener exercises while waiting for it.

Lin Xuanqi's ankles are round and small, and it feels like they could be twisted off if you had enough grip strength. It would probably cause her to go into shock from the pain, adding another way to torture her.

While eating takeout, Cheng Fei dialed Lin Xuanqi's number, and she answered a moment later.

"Xuanqi, it's getting late. Have you had dinner yet?"

"Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you."

"Don't bother me if there's nothing wrong."

"Actually, I wanted to thank you for sending me a car."

"Hang up."

"By the way, Xuanqi, are you free tomorrow?"

"I'm busy."

"Let's go somewhere together," I suddenly realized, "we haven't gone on a date since we started dating."

"I told you I'm busy."

"And the day after tomorrow?"

"I'm busy."

What about next weekend?

"I'm busy."

“Then pick a time. I really want to go on a date with you, even if it’s just a casual walk in the wetland park or sitting on a bench by the lake. I think about you all the time when you’re not around. I want to see your face, look into your eyes, and hear your voice.”

"Ugh, so annoying. It's tomorrow. I'm not going to the Humidity Park; it's freezing."

How about an amusement park?

"I'm not interested in amusement park rides that make people scream."

"Then let's skip those rides and go on the scenic train. I'll hold your hand tightly when we turn the corner."

"Do I look like the kind of idiot who'd fall off a little train?"

"We can also ride the Academy Lightcycle Power Run, you know? It's one of the largest Ferris wheels in the world, and it takes thirty-six minutes to go around once. The side of the Academy Lightcycle Power Run looks like the hands of a clock, and it's said that couples who kiss at the highest point will have eternal love that lasts until death."

"Ha, kissing? You're dreaming. At most, I'll let you massage my feet on top of me."

“Great! You can take a nap up there if you get tired of playing. Each cabin has air conditioning and the temperature is very comfortable. After you’ve had your fun, we’ll go to the famous shipwreck restaurant outside. The restaurant is all wood and has a very cozy atmosphere. There’s a Steinway piano inside, and I can play you a piece of ‘Für Elise’ that I recently learned.”

"That's enough, stop acting like a tour guide. What's the time?"

How about 8:30 in the morning?

"It's too early, ten o'clock. I need to see you at the amusement park entrance. Besides, if I don't think it's fun, you know what the consequences will be..." His tone turned dangerous.

Cheng Fei regretted it for a moment, "Okay, goodnight Xuanqi."

The call was immediately disconnected.

Cheng Fei silently closed the "Academy City Amusement Park Guide" page on his phone, scooped up a spoonful of braised chicken with meat and broth using a plastic spoon, poured it over rice, and put it all into his mouth.

I checked the club's WeChat group, but there were no new messages.

The tea ceremony teacher did post something.

"Is Cheng Fei alright?"

"We made it home alive."

Cheng Fei replied to her.

I received a new reply immediately.

"Want to play in the corridor?"

"Not today, I have a date with Lin Xuanqi tomorrow morning."

"Alright, have fun!"

"Thanks"

After putting down his phone, Cheng Fei put on his coat and went out for his usual half-hour jog. When he came back, he studied and did strength training at the same time until he felt a little tired in his mind and body. Then he drank a glass of milk, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep imagining the day he would beat up Lin Xuanqi.

The next day.

At 9:30 a.m., Cheng Fei arrived at the entrance of the amusement park. While waiting for Lin Xuanqi, he read the amusement park guide he had picked up at the ticket window word for word.

66. A boy and a girl enter a haunted house

Early in the morning, you can hear the roar of roller coasters speeding along the tracks and the exaggerated screams of passengers right outside the amusement park.

Cheng Fei was reminded of the scene in the game where players were chased by giant, out-of-control machines.

Most tourists didn't have any negative associations; apart from a few truly timid individuals, they were excited and thrilled as they went through the ticket check and entered the venue.

Cheng Fei read the amusement park guide twice before noticing a little girl standing next to him, licking a cotton candy while staring intently at him.

"Little sister, where are your parents?" Cheng Fei asked, bending down.

Although he looked like a bad guy with ill intentions, he was really just worried that the other person would get lost.

The little girl pointed silently to a vendor's cart not far away, where a young woman was intently selecting candied hawthorns.

It took the young woman two minutes to choose her favorite candied hawthorn. She turned around and saw the little girl standing next to Cheng Fei, looking at her with him. She quickly ran over.

"I'm sorry, sir, I hope I didn't cause you any trouble?"

"It's alright, but there are a lot of people here, so you still need to be careful with the kids," Cheng Fei said with a smile.

The young woman paused for a moment, then, holding the little girl's hand, said, "Come on, let's ask the handsome young man if we can take a picture together. Isn't he so handsome?"

The little girl nodded firmly.

So Cheng Fei, with one hand in his pocket and the other holding the little girl's hand, smiled expertly at the camera.

As soon as the mother and daughter left, two hip-hop style girls jumped up next to Cheng Fei and held up their phones, "Handsome guy~ look this way."

Cheng Fei maintained his expression.

Are you a celebrity?

"No."

"Can we add each other on WeChat?"

"Let's forget about this one."

"Haha, bye-bye then~"

He was immediately surrounded by a group of five female college students.

Photographers passing by nearby also seized the opportunity to aim their long lenses and cameras at Cheng Fei.

People kept coming up to take photos or greet him, and the boy realized that he was being treated as some kind of strange tourist attraction.

No, he's just too handsome.

After taking a photo with a somewhat shy girl in a sailor uniform, Cheng Fei suddenly noticed a young woman standing not far away, her hands in her pockets, staring at him with a half-smile.

Lin Xuanqi wore a neat single ponytail today, a loose dark green bomber jacket on top, hot pants and black tights on the bottom, and high-top ankle boots.

The girl was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses that covered most of her face, but Cheng Fei still recognized her at a glance from her beautiful chin and shapely legs.

"Sorry, my girlfriend is here." Cheng Fei escaped from the surrounding women of various ages and came to stand in front of Lin Xuanqi.

"Xuanqi, if you have extra sunglasses, could you bring me a pair next time?" Cheng Fei said with a troubled smile.

Lin Xuanqi took off her sunglasses and hung them on her collar, a smirk playing on her lips. "I thought you were going to be filming here all day."

"They were so enthusiastic, I didn't expect it."

"If they're so enthusiastic, you won't refuse them?" The girl's eyes turned dangerous.

"You're right. If any woman dares to get close to Lin Xuanqi's boyfriend again, I'll kick her away." Cheng Fei said confidently.

"Stop with your smooth talk." Lin Xuanqi scoffed, put her hands inside her bomber jacket, and strode toward the amusement park entrance.

Cheng Fei stood beside her, saying, "Xuanqi, you look so handsome today."

"Hand." Lin Xuanqi said expressionlessly.

Cheng Fei subtly withdrew his hand from his attempt to put his arm around her shoulder. "Xuanqi, have you eaten?"

"What do you think?" The girl yawned lazily.

"I haven't eaten yet. Could you please wait three minutes while I go to this KFC to buy breakfast?"

"Ugh, so annoying, hurry up!" The girl glared at him, clearly annoyed.

Cheng Fei quickly ordered a combination of soy milk and fried dough sticks and turned back, handing the small fried dough sticks to Lin Xuanqi, "Try it? It's a commoner's delicacy you've definitely never tried before."

The girl looked at him suspiciously. Seeing his smiling face, she picked up the fried dough stick and took a small bite, then pushed it back to him with disgust, saying, "It tastes awful, not even as good as the roadside stalls."

"It tastes so bad? I'll try it." Cheng Fei took a bite from where Lin Xuanqi had bitten down. "It really is inedible, what is this rubbish?"

Just as Cheng Fei was about to casually throw it into the nearby trash can, Lin Xuanqi glanced at him and sneered, "Didn't you skip breakfast?"

"Okay, actually I ate it, I was just afraid you hadn't." Cheng Fei was very honest.

"You've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve," the girl said with a hint of sarcasm.

"It's all for you, Xuanqi."

"Then eat it too." She left no room for argument.

“That’s true. It’s not good to waste food after we’ve already bought it,” Cheng Fei said seriously.

After Cheng Fei finished his second breakfast, the young boy and girl officially began their outing.

"Xuanqi, what do you want to play first?"

"That's something you should consider."

How about "Rushing Through the Rapids"?

"You want me to catch a cold in this weather?"

How about a carousel?

"Only mentally challenged children over ten years old can play this." This statement easily negates countless romantic movies and TV shows.

"That haunted house?" Cheng Fei said, shivering. "Forget it, I heard the haunted houses here are really realistic. How about the rainbow slide instead?"

"It's a haunted house."

"what?"

"Are you afraid?"

"How could that be? Let's go."

As Cheng Fei was queuing to enter, he was staring at the sign that read "No entry for those under 14 or over 60 and those with cardiovascular diseases." Suddenly, a scream came from the exit, and a man and a woman ran out as if they were truly haunted.

The tourists in line burst into laughter.
