Chapter 240 Playground
Shanghai truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most glamorous cities in China. The streets are filled with handsome men and beautiful women, dressed in black suits and carrying black briefcases, looking exactly like the successful people in TV dramas.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out he was an insurance salesman.
Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.
Shanghai is located in the south, so even though it's already December, the weather isn't too cold. Wearing a sweater outside is incredibly comfortable.
Ye Lan sipped her warm milk tea, holding Lin Xueyao's soft, boneless hand as they strolled leisurely down the street.
"By the way, Ye Lan, I want to go to the amusement park. Can you take me?" Lin Xueyao raised her head, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"You've been to Disneyland, so why haven't you been to an amusement park?"
Ye Lan recalled that Disney scenes had appeared in Lin Xueyao's previous works, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Disney is known to the public as a princess's castle.
Every year, it attracts countless people who want to visit it.
"Oh, I really want to go! Will you take me?"
Lin Xueyao clung to Ye Lan's arm like a sloth, rubbing against her breasts with affection while acting coquettishly.
They attempted to use gentleness to overcome strength and break through Ye Lan's psychological defenses.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you there."
Unable to resist the powerful, Ye Lan was forced to agree.
Then, using their phones for navigation, they hailed a taxi and arrived at the entrance of the amusement park.
To be honest, Ye Lan didn't come to the amusement park very often; she mostly came with Ye Wanying.
It's a little hard to get used to when the person next to me suddenly changes from my sister to my girlfriend.
The amusement park in Shanghai is very luxurious. It was dusk, and all the lights on the rides were on. It didn't look like an amusement park; it felt more like a bar.
"Holy crap, there are so many people!"
Ye Lan tiptoed and glanced at the crowd of people, tightly gripping Lin Xueyao's small hand, afraid that if she wasn't careful, the other person would be swept away by the crowd and disappear.
"Today is Christmas Eve, November 24th, there will definitely be a lot of people! What, you didn't know?" Lin Xueyao suddenly looked up and asked.
"I don't know." Ye Lan shook his head, indicating his confusion. Since he stopped going to school, he had lost his sense of time.
I often don't know what day of the week it is.
Of course, there are exceptions. After all, every Thursday, there are always people who act as NPCs in various group chats.
They seem to be using all sorts of bizarre and wonderful reasons to get you to give them 50 yuan.
"There's no holiday on Christmas Eve, so why is everyone at the amusement park like they have nothing better to do?"
Ye Lan expressed her incomprehension.
In fact, popular tourist attractions in popular cities are never short of people, whether it's a weekday or a weekend, off-season or peak season.
It's just a difference between a lot and a lot.
Fortunately, the staff had already adapted to the number of customers, and after queuing for only a short while, it was Ye Lan and Lin Xueyao's turn.
Buying tickets, verifying credentials, and entering the venue were all done in one go.
The two first experienced a roller coaster ride, feeling a sense of out-of-body sensation as if their souls were chasing after them. Afterwards, Ye Lan felt as if his brain had been shaken clean, but Lin Xueyao insisted on taking him on another ride.
Then they experienced a tandem bungee jump. Ye Lan held Lin Xueyao and jumped from a height of several hundred meters. The extreme weightlessness caused Lin Xueyao to scream repeatedly. At that moment, she was the world's strongest soprano. In the end, she even fainted, which scared Ye Lan so much that he almost had a cardiac arrest.
Finally, there's the upgraded version of the pirate ship, the spinning pendulum, which flung one of Ye Lan's shoes off. Luckily, it didn't hit anyone; otherwise, even if she survived, she would have suffered a concussion.
.......
After completing a set of amusement park combos, Ye Lan was exhausted, feeling as if her internal organs had been moved to a different position.
But Lin Xueyao next to him acted as if nothing had happened, jumping around excitedly and saying that she would come again next time.
Ye Lan rubbed his eyes in disbelief, wondering if his girlfriend had been switched. She screamed like a ghost while playing games, but afterwards she was calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.
No wonder they're like pigs before the event and wise men after the event!
After playing exciting games for several hours, Ye Lan needed to relax, so she squatted by the curb and smoked.
"Ye Lan, Merry Christmas Eve!"
As Lin Xueyao spoke, she picked up a Christmas gift box and handed it to Ye Lan, her small eyes filled with admiration.
"Are there apples inside?" Ye Lan picked up the gift box and looked it over.
One side of this gift box is transparent plastic, and the apples inside are so red they're almost purple, and they look incredibly sweet.
Lin Xueyao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, this is called a peace apple. Eating it will keep you safe and sound."
These things have no scientific basis, of course, but that doesn't matter, because people will always believe in things that are beneficial to them.
For example, "a twitching left eye means I'm going to get rich," while "a twitching right eye means disaster" is just superstition.
"But I didn't prepare a gift for you." Ye Lan's expression was a little awkward.
He wasn't particularly interested in these holidays to begin with, and was momentarily at a loss.
"It's okay, because you are my peace apple. I believe that as long as I'm by your side, the future will be peaceful and safe."
Lin Xueyao crouched down beside Ye Lan like a kitten, tilting her head back. The brightly lit city was reflected in her clear eyes, and a sweet smile played on her lips.
"Yes, I will."
Ye Lan exhaled a smoke ring, which was dispersed by the breeze and eventually disappeared.
As night deepened, the amusement park staff began to get busy, moving between the various rides, dispersing visitors, and preparing for closing time.
Today is Christmas Eve, and some couples, looking for excitement, will stay in the amusement park all night.
There had been precedents for this before, so the staff checked very carefully.
No corner or nook was overlooked.
The two were not spared either, and followed the crowd toward the exit of the amusement park.
Back at the hotel, Ye Lan opened the gift box, washed the apple in warm water, and took a bite. It was crisp and sweet, and she felt like she had been elevated.
Lin Xueyao took the prize Ye Lan won in the ring toss game, went outside, and gave the horn comb to Ye Wanying as a Christmas gift, while giving the watch to Xu Zhiqiang.
They also each received a "peace apple," which made them both shout with excitement.
Xu Zhiqiang, in particular, had never received a gift before and was deeply moved. He kept calling Lin Xueyao "sister-in-law," which made her very happy.
Ye Lan's face darkened with each passing moment; the generational order was completely messed up!
Xu Zhiqiang calls himself godfather and Lin Xueyao sister-in-law. Can you believe how true that is?
Moreover, Xu Zhiqiang seems to have figured out how to make Lin Xueyao happy, which is very troublesome for Ye Lan.
In the future, when he bullies Xu Zhiqiang, that bastard will definitely use Lin Xueyao as a shield.
