As Tang Manman walked closer, Lin Yu looked at her more carefully and suddenly felt like he had been mistaken earlier.
She was definitely pure, but as for alluring...
Looking at Tang Manman's somewhat reserved and shy appearance, Lin Yu pretty much understood.
This outfit must have been picked out by her friend, otherwise, there was no reason for her to look so unaccustomed to it.
Seeing Tang Manman's restrained demeanor, Lin Yu decided to help her relax and praised her:
"You look beautiful."
"Really?"
Tang Manman raised her face, her clear eyes shining with anticipation. She tried hard to hold back the smile on her face, looking as if she were uncertain, but more like she just wanted to be praised again.
"Of course it's true."
Lin Yu nodded, sparing no effort in his compliments:
"Just looking the way you do right now, without even having to dress up further, you could already debut as a celebrity."
Hearing Lin Yu's praise, Tang Manman was very happy.
She wasn't happy that she could rival a celebrity, but rather happy that Lin Yu liked it...
Now that they had met up, Lin Yu took Tang Manman into Yuante Joyland.
Yuante Joyland was one of the most famous amusement parks in N City, boasting a vast number of rides and attractions.
Lin Yu planned to take Tang Manman out to play for the whole day to help her clear her mind, so she wouldn't be solely immersed in the distress of losing her money.
After entering the park, with the idea of taking things one step at a time, Lin Yu brought Tang Manman to line up for an attraction called the Mine Mountain Leap.
Simply put, it was a children's version of a roller coaster.
It was just like a roller coaster, but not nearly as thrilling.
Sitting on this low-budget roller coaster, feeling the bumps beneath his butt and the utterly unexciting track, Lin Yu laughed like a fool.
This is so much fun.
Who came up with this thing, anyway?
During the summer vacation, Lin Yu had driven Xia Muzhu's car at over a hundred miles per hour on an empty stretch of road, and he hadn't felt much of anything.
But now, sitting in this slow, rickety little cart, Lin Yu felt an extraordinary sense of joy.
How truly wonderful.
After finishing this ride, Lin Yu, whose original intention was to help Tang Manman relax, ended up thoroughly enjoying himself. Without stopping to rest, he led Tang Manman straight toward the next amusement facility.
While playing and rushing around with Tang Manman, Lin Yu felt a long-lost pressure.
It was as if the person beside him wasn't Tang Manman, but a bright light bulb in the dark of night.
Passersby, regardless of gender, would let their gazes linger on Tang Manman for a moment.
The men looked completely stunned by her beauty, while the women's eyes were filled with envy.
There was no shortage of guys who had brought their girlfriends to play, only to have their eyes caught by Tang Manman, resulting in tragedies involving elbow strikes and stomped feet from their partners.
Following their gazes, Lin Yu once again rested his eyes on Tang Manman.
To be honest, her outfit was truly eye-catching, giving off the vibe that she had a master stylist backing her up.
The little white French-style dress she wore wrapped her up tightly and securely.
It only revealed half of her calves, her arms below the shoulders, and a small patch of smooth, snow-white skin at her chest.
Not a single private or overly sexy area was exposed, yet it made people unable to tear their eyes away once they looked.
Paired with her pure, beautiful, and highly attractive face.
She practically embodied the term white moonlight.
Before he knew it, Lin Yu had been staring for quite a while. It wasn't until his eyes met Tang Manman's shy yet joyful gaze that Lin Yu suddenly snapped back to reality. He sniffled and continued leading Tang Manman to the next attraction.
After sequentially riding the pirate ship, the carousel, and the space-time tunnel, the two of them felt they had adapted to the park's rides and decided to challenge one of the most thrilling attractions in the amusement park.
The roller coaster!
Ten minutes later, the two of them were humbled.
Tang Manman's face was pale, and her legs were so weak she could barely stand, needing to lean against a nearby pillar just to keep from falling over.
As for Lin Yu.
He hadn't even finished throwing up yet.
Damn it!
This wasn't how the script was supposed to go!
The roller coaster he rode in H City before wasn't nearly this terrifying!
Taking the tissue Tang Manman handed him to wipe his mouth, Lin Yu forced himself to stand up. Supporting each other, he and Tang Manman walked over to a nearby bench to sit down and rest for a while.
On the way, feeling the weight on his shoulder, Lin Yu frowned and looked at Tang Manman with some concern, asking:
"Are you alright?"
Tang Manman seemed to be leaning her entire body weight against him, which made Lin Yu a bit worried about her.
Tang Manman shook her head weakly and said:
"I'm fine."
Seeing her in this state, Lin Yu grew even more worried and quickly said:
"Fine?"
"You don't look fine at all, no matter how I look at it."
"How about we leave and go to the hospital to get you checked out?"
Upon hearing that they would leave the amusement park to go to the hospital, she visibly perked up a lot. Reluctantly pulling away from Lin Yu's shoulder, she insisted:
"I'm really fine."
"Then let's go rest for a bit and see how you feel. If you're uncomfortable, just let me know."
"Mhm."
Whether she was physically unwell or just in low spirits, Tang Manman nodded and gave a soft hum of agreement.
The two sat on one of the common benches found along the path to rest for a while. By the time they both recovered their strength, it was already noon, and it was time to eat.
They went to a restaurant inside the park and ordered two meals.
When it came time to order drinks, Lin Yu asked for a sweet carbonated soda for himself, then turned to look at Tang Manman.
After a brief exchange of glances, Tang Manman nodded, and Lin Yu planned to get her a sweet carbonated soda as well.
"I want it iced."
Tang Manman suddenly added.
Hearing Tang Manman's words, Lin Yu felt a bit baffled.
Aren't sweet carbonated sodas iced by default?
You usually only have to specify if you want it without ice, right?
It wasn't really a problem, so Lin Yu didn't pay it much mind. The two cups of sweet carbonated soda were quickly poured and placed on the counter by the staff. Lin Yu reached out to grab them, ready to take Tang Manman back to eat...
...
?
Lin Yu looked at Tang Manman, suddenly feeling somewhat confused.
Why the heck are you blushing?
