Ye Chen cleverly uses a tactic to let his companions cut in line, angering a bald man. When the bald man tries to retaliate, Ye Chen calmly shuts him down. Afterward, Ye Chen decides to continue following the bald man and his group, making them wait in line for every attraction and getting revenge for the earlier confrontation.

Upon hearing Fan Ying’s admiration for him, Ye Chen stroked the girl’s small head and said.

"Silly girl, now you can play whatever you want."

This gesture from Ye Chen did not delay Fan Ying and the others for long.

The reason he did this was because he reckoned that the bald-headed guys wouldn’t last much longer.

Just as Ye Chen expected, when the bald-headed guy saw Ye Chen closely following on the third ride, he decided to give up.

"Alright, shall we go on the pirate ship?"

Fan Ying suggested.

Ye Chen checked the time, and after they finished this ride, it would be time for lunch, meaning their schedule was perfectly arranged.

The two people lined up at the pirate ship.

This ride is only chosen by brave people, and many girls even dare not try it.

Most people give up the ride because their girlfriends are scared.

Or they’re with children, and since kids are too young, they can’t take the ride.

Due to the aforementioned reasons, there were naturally fewer people in line.

After not waiting long, it was Ye Chen and Fan Ying’s turn.

"Yingying, shall we sit in the middle?"

Ye Chen suggested.

"No way, if we’re going to do it once, we should sit at the ship’s bow."

Fan Ying retorted.

"Think carefully and don’t regret it later. When the ride starts, don’t start crying."

Ye Chen advised again.

Having experienced the pirate ship in other amusement parks, he knew that sitting at the ship’s bow was very thrilling.

Typically, boys opt for that position.

But surprisingly, Fan Ying, this little girl, dared to sit there.

"Brother Ye Chen, you’re underestimating me."

Fan Ying insisted and pulled Ye Chen to sit at the bow.

After the staff checked the seatbelts, the ride started.

This pirate ship’s upward swing was more intense than other pirate ships, making those at the bow feel as if they were tossed into the sky.

At first, Fan Ying was chatting and laughing with Ye Chen.

"Brother Ye Chen, it’s so much fun. We should ride again later."

Fan Ying said with a smile.

"Alright, I’ll accompany you as many times as you want."

Ye Chen replied.

Upon hearing this, Fan Ying was delighted, feeling that with Ye Chen beside her, they were like those small couples in the park.

But as the ship’s swings grew stronger, Fan Ying fell silent.

Ye Chen noticed the little girl’s face turning pale, and she had closed her eyes.

"Yingying, look over there, it’s really beautiful."

Ye Chen tugged Fan Ying’s arm and said.

"Brother Ye Chen, I’m so scared. Could we be thrown out?"

Fan Ying said in a tearful voice.

Upon hearing, Ye Chen was speechless, wondering where the brave girl had gone.

Suddenly, she became timid.

"No, everything has been safety checked. What you’re worried about won’t happen."

Ye Chen reassured her.

"Why does it feel like my seatbelt is loose? Brother Ye Chen, you must hold me tightly. I’m so young, I haven’t lived enough."

Fan Ying shouted loudly.

Not just Fan Ying, other girls, out of fear, also screamed.

The sound was very piercing.

But fortunately, Fan Ying was just scared and didn’t scream. Otherwise, Ye Chen’s ears would be deafened.

The pirate ship swung a few more times before slowly falling.

As the ship slowly stabilized, people’s emotions calmed down.

The screams disappeared.

Fan Ying still gripped Ye Chen’s hand tightly, so much so that she scratched Ye Chen’s hand out of tension.

Even after the ship stopped, Fan Ying maintained her position.

Looking at Fan Ying made Ye Chen feel amused.

It seems this little girl’s courage isn’t as big as it seems.

"Yingying, let’s get off."

Ye Chen said to Fan Ying.

Fan Ying opened her eyes, still sitting there motionless.

She awkwardly looked at Ye Chen and said.

"Brother Ye Chen, my legs have cramped. You have to carry me down."

Ye Chen knew that this little girl was just overly tense, which is why this happened.

Originally, Ye Chen had no special thoughts towards Fan Ying, just treating her like a sister.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen carried Fan Ying down.

"Oh, look at your courage, always pretending you could handle it. I don’t even know what to say."

Fan Ying heard, and shyly hid in Ye Chen’s arms,

feeling really embarrassed, realizing how different she was from just moments ago.

Fan Ying deeply regretted her earlier decision. Had she known it would end like this, she wouldn’t have wanted to sit at the bow.

"Brother Ye Chen, stop saying it, I’m already embarrassed."

"Why am I always the one who pays for your actions?"

Ye Chen gave Fan Ying a bitter look and spoke with a grievance.

This little girl does have some weight. In the hot weather, walking makes you sweat, let alone carrying someone.

Ye Chen’s sweat poured down like raindrops.

Fan Ying enjoyed this feeling immensely, the scene in front of her was something she’d dreamed of many times.

She didn’t think it would finally come true now.

Even though she was scared earlier, she was secretly delighted inside.

Surrounding tourists gazed at Ye Chen and Fan Ying enviously.

"Look how much that boy loves the girl, he’s even carrying her."

"So envious, if my boyfriend were like that, it would be amazing."

Even girls with their boyfriends were chastising them.

"Look at him—handsome and considerate. You should really learn."

"So romantic. You could at least be half like him."

Strangely, Ye Chen noticed many couples quarreling nearby.

The girls looked at Ye Chen enviously, while the boys stared at Ye Chen with bitter resentment.

Their gazes seemed murderous.

It was Fan Ying who clarified for him.

"Brother Ye Chen, I feel so happy. Look at those couples bickering because of us."

"What do you mean? We’re not a couple, what’s there for them to fight about?"

Ye Chen voiced his thoughts.

Fan Ying, hearing this, felt displeased.

"Put me down, I can walk now."

Ye Chen noticed the shift in Fan Ying’s tone, but didn’t care.

According to her request, he put Fan Ying down.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Fan Ying hurried forward without waiting for Ye Chen at all.

Ye Chen thought this girl was ungrateful, knowing that if it weren’t for him, Fan Ying would’ve had to rest there for a long time.

Now that she could walk, she just went ahead, completely ignoring him.
