Take Her on a Merry-Go-round

Before Su Xiyan could react, Chen Shuo had already made the payment.

He bought two luminous headbands, one with red devil horns and the other with a white angelic theme.

Chen Shuo put the angel headband on himself. With the lights flickering, his face, angular and distinct, resembled that of a male celebrity appearing on a variety show.

"Chen Shuo, can't you be more mature?" Su Xiyan quipped.

The next moment, Su Xiyan felt something on her head.

Chen Shuo had swiftly placed the red devil headband, glowing brightly, on Su Xiyan's head.

With skin as fair as snow, Su Xiyan's black hair cascaded down freely, complementing the bright red devil horns. She looked like a bloodthirsty demoness, especially with her fiery red lips.

Admiring Su Xiyan's stunning beauty, Chen Shuo couldn't help but exclaim, "I must say, this devil headband suits you quite well. I have a good eye, don't I?"

Wanting to remove the headband, Su Xiyan was stopped by Chen Shuo. "Don't!" he insisted.

"Look at you, with that stern face all day. Your face is naturally beautiful, but if you frown, it diminishes your charm."

"No one here knows you. Can't you drop the aloof goddess act, please?"

As Chen Shuo spoke, the halo of the angel headband on his head shimmered.

The headbands sold at the stall were somewhat roughly made. The angelic halo looked more like a circular toilet seat.

And who had placed the toilet seat on their head?

It was Chen Shuo!

Seeing this scene, Su Xiyan couldn't help but laugh softly.

In the flickering light, Su Xiyan's laughter was especially captivating.

For a moment, Chen Shuo was stunned.

Fortunately, he quickly regained his composure and led Su Xiyan forward. "The amusement park is ahead, Su Xiyan. Stay close to me!" he said.

With that, he naturally took Su Xiyan's hand and headed towards the amusement park.

This was the second time Su Xiyan had held hands with Chen Shuo.

The last time was behind the school, in an alley. It was an emergency, with Chen Shuo suddenly appearing to rescue Su Xiyan from being discovered by humans as a demon hunter.

That time was different from this.

Chen Shuo seemed to naturally take Su Xiyan's hand, seemingly oblivious to what it meant.

In that moment, Su Xiyan felt like she had truly become "little Su Xiyan".

Under the night breeze, Su Xiyan ran along the gravel path in the park with Chen Shuo, her hair fluttering elegantly.

The people strolling around couldn't help but focus their gaze on Su Xiyan. A girl with such a great figure and beauty, yet completely unpretentious, exuded a natural and exquisite charm.

They all envied Chen Shuo ahead. What luck did this guy have in his past life to have such a beautiful girlfriend?

Some middle-aged couples out with their children couldn't help but sigh: how wonderful it is to be young! To be able to be so carefree in the night breeze.

Turning a corner, ahead lay a paradise for children - an open-air playground.

Before even reaching the playground, the laughter of the children inside could be heard.

Chen Shuo stopped in his tracks and naturally let go of Su Xiyan's hand.

Compared to the turmoil in Su Xiyan's heart, Chen Shuo seemed quite ordinary, pointing to the various amusement facilities ahead, "What do you want to play? My treat."

Su Xiyan looked at Chen Shuo, who had never been so generous before, with a raised eyebrow, "So generous today?"

Chen Shuo was not shy about it, speaking frankly:

"Consider it the protection fee you're paying for protecting me."

"I'll treat you to a round at the amusement park, consider it as paying off the protection fee."

"I really am quite the thrifty and responsible man, aren't I?"

Su Xiyan's hand clenched into a fist, the joints making a crisp sound.

So, Chen Shuo was considering himself her female bodyguard?

Rarely in such a generous mood, Chen Shuo acted as if he were the boss of the amusement park: "What do you want to play?"

"Is it the bungee jump? Or the pirate ship? The swing? Or that thing you sit on and it spins and goes up?"

Chen Shuo offered Su Xiyan options, all of which were rather thrilling.

However, Su Xiyan's gaze was fixed on the carousel in the distance.

With long, fair fingers, she pointed in the direction of the carousel, "I want to play that."

Following Su Xiyan's pointing direction, Chen Shuo was somewhat surprised.

She was pointing at the carousel that even children could play?

Moreover, the carousel looked rather old, with its paintings and designs reminiscent of the last century.

I wonder where this open-air playground got this antique from.

But, since the words were already spoken, Chen Shuo said Su Xiyan could play whatever she wanted, with him treating.

After buying the tickets, Su Xiyan got on the carousel.

The carousel was painted with exaggerated colors, interspersed with various shades of pink and purple, colorful.

This style of carousel could only be seen in nostalgic old photos from before.

Could it be that this amusement park is going for a retro nostalgia vibe?

What shocked Chen Shuo even more was that after the carousel started spinning, the music that played was actually a childhood dance tune?

Talk about nostalgia!

Leaning against the railing next to the carousel, under the glow of the lights, Chen Shuo squinted slightly, watching Su Xiyan sitting on the carousel.

Her long thighs hung on both sides of the horse, the perfect lines were unbelievable.

Holding onto the carousel's straight pole, her graceful black hair danced lightly in the night breeze, like agile seaweed.

On Su Xiyan's head, she still wore the glowing little devil headband that Chen Shuo bought,

The light was bright, Su Xiyan's face was unbelievably beautiful.

To say one wasn't stunned would be lying.

Chen Shuo feigned a casual demeanor, quietly appreciating the unparalleled beauty of Su Xiyan.

Bringing such a stunning girl to the amusement park was, in itself, a source of pride, wasn't it?

Chen Shuo felt a sense of regret, wondering how he could have been so arrogant and disdainful of Su Xiyan before. He even used to go out of his way to keep a distance from her.

So immature!

From now on, could they be tied together?

Su Xiyan sat on the carousel, the night breeze brushing against her cheeks. As the somewhat outdated music played, she reminisced about some unpleasant yet deeply engraved memories.

As the music came to an end, she got off the carousel.

Walking to the safety exit, she turned around to look at the now stationary carousel.

At that moment, she felt as if she had returned to her childhood, only to be abruptly pulled back into reality.

The contrast and the surreal feeling made her somewhat uncomfortable.
