Childish

Not only were there many fun rides at Yuante Joy World, but the food was also quite good.

It was just a bit expensive.

But amusement parks all over the world were the same, so there wasn't much to complain about.

After finishing their meal, the two sat and rested for a while before continuing to have a blast in the amusement park.

This time, they learned their lesson and stopped going on those overly thrilling rides. After experiencing a few more attractions, Lin Yu and Tang Manman both gave extremely high praise to the same ride.

Wild Highland Tubing.

In layman's terms, it was just sitting in a rubber tube and sliding down from a high place.

Simple, safe, and mild, but super fun!

Lin Yu and Tang Manman played it several times but still felt they hadn't had enough, so they eagerly stepped onto the climbing stairs again, getting ready for their third run.

While waiting in line, Tang Manman gazed out over the entire amusement park, and her eyes were soon drawn to a giant human head with its bloody mouth wide open.

Recalling the two must-play amusement park attractions for couples that Wu Ling had reminded her about, Tang Manman tugged on Lin Yu's sleeve and pointed at the head in the distance, saying,

"I want to go there."

Lin Yu turned his head to look in the direction Tang Manman was pointing. Seeing that skull with its wide-open mouth, he frowned and asked,

"What is that thing?"

"A haunted house."

Tang Manman replied exceptionally sweetly.

"Uh..."

Lin Yu's expression changed slightly, and a hint of aversion immediately surfaced on his face. He said impatiently,

"What's so good about going there?"

"Everything inside is fake, just meant to scare kids."

"I'm not going!"

"Mmm~"

Tang Manman grabbed the hem of Lin Yu's shirt and tugged, acting coquettishly with a soft and delicate voice,

"I really want to go~"

Lin Yu had always considered himself a man with a heart of stone who wouldn't easily succumb to feminine charms. But now, being tugged by the shirt and begged so sweetly by Tang Manman, Lin Yu suddenly realized that his heart wasn't quite as hard as he thought.

"Alright."

"If you want to go, then let's go."

Lin Yu shrugged, choosing to compromise.

Before heading downstairs, Lin Yu glanced down at that hideous human head from his high vantage point. He sniffled and muttered silently in his heart,

It's fine, it's fine.

The main target audience of the amusement park is children. It won't be that scary inside...

...

Lin Yu took out his money to buy tickets at the ticket booth, while Tang Manman stood behind him, standing on her tiptoes to look at the decorations inside the haunted house.

The people entering the haunted house ahead of them seemed to be a couple. The two walked hand in hand into the bloody maw of the head, entering the haunted house.

There was nothing unusual in the first room after entering the haunted house. Just as the two were about to enter the second room, a blood-covered ghost suddenly sprang out from an empty water vat next to the door, giving them a huge fright.

Startled, the young girl turned around and buried herself straight into the arms of the boy next to her. Tang Manman's eyes lit up at the sight.

Yes!

She was going to do exactly that in a bit!

A moment later, Lin Yu finished buying the tickets. The two stepped together onto the tongue of the hideous head and walked into the bloody maw.

After entering the haunted house, the first room was a bit eerie, but everything was as usual. The surroundings were quiet and uneventful, without anything out of the ordinary.

With shining eyes, Tang Manman followed behind Lin Yu, stepping toward the door to the second room and slowly approaching the water vat where the ghost was hiding.

"Wah!"

Everything went exactly as Tang Manman had anticipated. After the two got close to the vat, the staff member dressed as a malicious ghost suddenly lunged out and let out a loud yell.

Taking the opportunity, Tang Manman spun around and quickly dove into Lin Yu's arms, crying out with just a hint of theatricality,

"Ah!"

"So scary."

Thrown against Lin Yu's chest, feeling his familiar warmth and scent, Tang Manman was overflowing with joy, smiling so wide she could barely close her mouth.

The next moment, she felt Lin Yu's arms wrap around her, and his soft voice comforting her sounded by her ear.

"It's okay, it's okay."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

"We'll leave right now. You won't be scared once we're out."

???

Listening to Lin Yu's rambling, Tang Manman's head was instantly filled with question marks.

"Wait, actually I'm not that scared..."

Before Tang Manman could finish speaking, Lin Yu had already put his arm around her shoulders and led her right back out through the entrance of the haunted house.

Standing in the warm sunlight, Tang Manman couldn't process what had just happened for a moment.

She stiffly turned her neck and saw Lin Yu's somewhat pale face, his rambling still echoing in her ears.

"See, I told you there was nothing fun about it, right?"

"It's all just stuff to scare kids, and you still got scared. You really are bad at this but love to play anyway..."

"..."

Bathing in the sunlight, Lin Yu let out a shallow sigh of relief.

When he realized this was an adult haunted house while buying the tickets, Lin Yu already knew things were going to be bad.

Seriously, did this amusement park have to be so considerate?

They even split the haunted house into two separate attractions: a children's haunted house and an adult haunted house!

Wouldn't it have been fine to just make them all those childish children's haunted houses?

Did they really think they could scare adults?

So unnecessary!

After coming out of the haunted house, Lin Yu firmly rejected Tang Manman's request to go back in and play again, and he quickly led her away from the area.

It was currently time for the amusement park's parade.

Some staff members had put on cute mascot costumes and were interacting with the crowds throughout the park.

Seeing the parade, Tang Manman finally cheered up a bit. She stopped obsessing over wanting to go back into the haunted house and happily waved and interacted with the mascots instead.

Time drifted by. By evening, the two, having played all afternoon, returned to the amusement park restaurant once again to eat.

While eating, Tang Manman suddenly put down her chopsticks, placed her white bag on the table, unzipped it, and started rummaging for something inside.

After digging around for a while without seemingly finding what she wanted, she began taking the items out of her bag one by one and arranging them on the table.

Lipstick.

Lip balm.

Mints.

Hair tie.

Small mirror.

Charger.

ID card...

Tang Manman pulled quite a few things out of her small bag, but she still didn't seem to find the item she was looking for.

Tossing things back and forth, Tang Manman accidentally knocked her ID card onto the floor.

She put down the bag, bent over to pick up the ID card, and meticulously wiped it over and over again with a tissue right in front of Lin Yu.

"What's missing?"

Seeing her search for so long without finding it, Lin Yu asked curiously.

"N-nothing."

Tang Manman shook her head and said in a low voice.

"Want me to help you look?"

As Lin Yu spoke, he reached over to grab Tang Manman's bag to help her search.

In truth, Lin Yu had been quite puzzled this whole time.

With such a small bag, what could she possibly be looking for that would take so long?

Lin Yu reached out, but the moment his fingertips brushed the edge of the white bag, Tang Manman reacted as if he had touched something absolutely forbidden.

She snatched the bag back in a flash and hugged it tightly to her chest, the tips of her ears turning deep red.

"Uh..."

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yu asked in confusion.

"It's nothing. I just remembered I left that thing in my dorm."

"It's fine."

Tang Manman blushed and quickly put the items on the table back into her bag, pressing down on those few small, square plastic packets with faint circular bulges...
