"It really has been a long time since I drove this car." Ye Shuang got into his Toyota Supra. Driving a sports car occasionally was fine, but the chassis was too stiff, making it somewhat uncomfortable on longer rides.
Bai Yuyou sat in the passenger seat. Her body seemed to relax completely as she half-closed her eyes in comfort.
"Is the Maybach more spacious and comfortable?" Ye Shuang asked the girl beside him with a smile as he buckled his seatbelt.
"I like small cars. I can sit closer to you," Bai Yuyou said softly. "The old house was like that too."
Hearing this, Ye Shuang reached out and gently tapped the girl's nose. However, Bai Yuyou caught his hand and affectionately rubbed her soft cheek against his palm.
"Alright, let's go."
It was a rare occasion for the two of them to go out together. Ye Shuang drove the girl out of the residential area. Perhaps because it was the weekend, there wasn't much traffic on the road, and it was still only morning.
"Where do you want to go?" Ye Shuang asked. According to his own plan, he wanted to find a shopping mall, buy some things, pick up some underwear for Yuyou, and then grab lunch.
After all, the two of them didn't have a specific destination in mind; they just decided to head out first and figure it out later.
"The amusement park," Bai Yuyou said suddenly.
"Hmm?" Ye Shuang paused for a moment. "You want to go to the amusement park, Yuyou?"
Bai Yuyou nodded. She really liked the atmosphere there, and she could hold hands with Ye Shuang while having fun.
"I see..." Ye Shuang pulled the car over to the side of the road and took out his phone to check amusement park tickets. There were quite a few amusement parks in Haizhu City. Thinking about it carefully, Ye Shuang couldn't even remember how many girls he had brought to amusement parks in the past.
"Let's try a different one. How about we go check out Changlong Amusement Park?" Ye Shuang glanced at the ticket price; it was four hundred yuan per person.
"Okay."
After buying the tickets, Ye Shuang set off with Bai Yuyou.
The drive from the city center to the Hengqin District where Changlong was located actually took less than half an hour. Ye Shuang got straight onto the highway and arrived at their destination in about twenty minutes.
The amusement park was situated at the foot of a mountain. From a distance, they could see a giant whale shark statue and the park's iconic white tiger.
After parking the car, Ye Shuang couldn't help but look into the distance. "It's true, there really aren't many fun places in our city."
It seemed that aside from shopping, playing on a smartphone was the most entertaining thing to do.
At that moment, he felt a touch on his arm. Ye Shuang turned his head to find that Bai Yuyou had already wrapped her arms around his, pressing closely against him. Meeting Ye Shuang's gaze, Bai Yuyou said softly,
"Ye Shuang, today belongs to me."
His arm was enveloped by softness, and the girl's slightly possessive declaration left Ye Shuang stunned for a few seconds. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he coughed lightly. But as Bai Yuyou clung to his arm, she also intertwined her fingers with his.
The faint fragrance of Yuyou drifted to his nose, making Ye Shuang feel a bit dazed.
Bai Yuyou really did seem a bit different now.
"Let's go," Ye Shuang said, recovering his senses slightly.
The two arrived at the ticket checkpoint. Ye Shuang had originally thought there wouldn't be many people here, but perhaps because it was the weekend, he noticed quite a few adults bringing their kids to play.
"It's really lively," Ye Shuang couldn't help but sigh.
After having their tickets checked and entering, they picked up a map from a rack not far from the entrance and started looking at it.
Just as Ye Shuang opened the map, Bai Yuyou leaned her face in close.
"What do you want to ride?" Seeing Bai Yuyou staring intently at the various icons on the map, Ye Shuang smiled slightly.
"This one, the Parrot Coaster." Bai Yuyou pointed at the location of the roller coaster.
Ye Shuang was speechless.
Seriously, why do you girls all love riding roller coasters so much?
"Uh..." Ye Shuang thought for a moment. "The line for the roller coaster takes a long time since it's a popular attraction. Why don't we go check out something else first? Like the bumper cars."
But Bai Yuyou hugged Ye Shuang's arm even tighter. "I want to ride it, Ye Shuang."
"Please?"
"Ye Shuang, I want to."
The adorable way the girl acted spoiled while maintaining a deadpan expression made Ye Shuang's heart inexplicably skip a beat. "Well, alright."
The two headed straight for the roller coaster. As soon as they got close, they heard the familiar heart-wrenching screams from above and the roaring sound of the coaster speeding by. Ye Shuang's face was deadpan.
"It's fine."
Beside him, Bai Yuyou looked eager to try.
"Let's go." There were quite a few people lining up for the roller coaster. Thinking they could save time and ride more attractions, Ye Shuang directly purchased Express Passes. A staff member quickly handed over two wristbands.
"Please don't lose these. You can use the express lane while wearing them."
"Okay."
Soon, Ye Shuang and Bai Yuyou went in, and once again, they were placed in the familiar front-row seats.
Sitting two to a row, Ye Shuang and Bai Yuyou took their seats. Their feet were dangling in the air with nothing to step on, making it even more extreme than the Gyarados Coaster they rode last time.
"Handsome, please take off your slippers, or they'll fly off," the staff member reminded Ye Shuang while checking his safety harness.
"Okay." Ye Shuang kicked off his slippers.
Bai Yuyou sat next to Ye Shuang. Unlike before when Ye Shuang would ask if she was scared, this time the girl took the initiative to reach out her small hand and grasp Ye Shuang's palm.
"Don't be scared, I'm here," Ye Shuang smiled faintly.
"I'm not scared. I'm afraid that you're scared, Ye Shuang." Bai Yuyou's words made Ye Shuang freeze in awkwardness.
She had grown up and learned how to care for people.
Ye Shuang pulled a face that looked worse than crying.
The roller coaster began to move. Perhaps because his feet were dangling, Ye Shuang felt it was even more terrifying than the ones he had ridden before. However, the coaster was only climbing slowly at the moment; the speed wasn't fast or scary yet.
"I'm used to this. It's just a vertical drop. Bring it on, I'm ready." Ye Shuang had already anticipated what was going to happen next.
Sure enough, the roller coaster soon reached the peak. The nearly ninety-degree drop made Ye Shuang accept his fate.
"Bring it."
The next second, the roller coaster began its rapid descent. Despite being prepared, the momentary feeling of weightlessness made Ye Shuang's eyes widen.
"Damn! It's even faster than last time?!"
Following that were corkscrew spins and several massive drops!
"Holy sh—?!"
...
A few minutes later, Ye Shuang got off.
He sat deadpan on a bench, with Bai Yuyou sitting obediently beside him. The sight of the two of them, both completely expressionless, attracted the gazes of quite a few passersby.
"Yuyou..." Ye Shuang slowly raised his head.
"Hmm?"
"My soul hasn't returned yet." Ye Shuang stared off into the distance. "Let's change to a different ride. I think I might just be getting old."
Hearing this, Bai Yuyou nodded.
"Okay."
As she spoke, she pointed to a spot on the map.
[Iceberg Roller Coaster]
Ye Shuang was speechless.
He thought to himself that he had probably just found his lifelong nemesis.
