Qing Yan cooperated with him to take many photos until the carousel stopped, and Si Yechen got off, holding her hand.
"What do you want to play next?"
Qing Yan felt that the amusement park rides were too childish. She took out the map and looked for the thrilling ones, like roller coasters and free-fall machines.
"Are you afraid of heights?" Qing Yan raised her eyes and asked the man in front of her.
"I'm afraid of losing you," Si Yechen looked at the girl and said each word slowly, "afraid of you not liking me, leaving me; as for everything else, I'm not afraid."
"...," Qing Yan was inexplicably taken aback by his confession, and she simply walked forward.
Si Yechen followed her steps and held her hand. "Yan Yan, are you afraid of heights?"
If she was afraid, they could choose another ride.
Qing Yan smirked. Was she afraid?
If the space wasn't so small, she could sit comfortably, crossing her legs and eating sunflower seeds, provided there was a plate of them right next to her.
"Please fasten your seatbelts," the staff reminded from the side, "be sure to fasten your seatbelts! Safety first!"
After Si Yechen fastened Qing Yan's seatbelt, he decided not to fasten his own.
Qing Yan reached out and gently fastened it for him.
"Are you afraid I'll die?"
"Not really," Qing Yan said indifferently, "I'm just afraid that you'll be paralyzed and I'll have to take care of you for the rest of your life."
Si Yechen raised a wicked smile, "If I can have your company for the rest of my life, I wouldn't mind."
Qing Yan glanced at him. Was he cursing himself like that?
"A girl like you taking care of me would be too hard. In the second half of our lives, let me take care of you," Si Yechen said as he held her hand, his lips curling up. "Rest assured, for you, I'll stay healthy and safe."
The roller coaster quickly started, and the screams of others filled Si Yechen and Qing Yan's ears.
The ascent was slow, very slow, and the descent was a rapid plunge. The roller coaster flipped over and jolted back and forth, with screams echoing around them.
Si Yechen noticed that the girl's expression remained unchanged; he hadn't expected her to be so fearless.
But then again, she dared to play with guns and lead an entire organization; how could she have a small heart?
Five minutes later, the roller coaster came to a stop, and many people rushed to vomit.
Si Yechen held Qing Yan's hand and asked, "We just rode the roller coaster together. Does it count as experiencing life's peaks and valleys together?"
A lifetime was too long, but those mere five minutes felt like a lifetime.
They seemed to have gone through various dangers and trials together, yet they never let go of each other's hand.
"I suddenly realized that every time I see you, it feels like riding a roller coaster," Si Yechen said.
Up and down, like a deer running wild – that's how he described his feelings for her.
Qing Yan raised her eyes and couldn't help but ask, "When did you start liking me?"
Si Yechen smiled gently, "The first time I saw you at the hospital saving grandpa, I thought you were special."
At that time, he didn't know that he had already fallen for her.
Before meeting her, he didn't believe in love at first sight, and he even thought that love was optional and not important in his life.
But after meeting her, all his thoughts and beliefs changed completely.
Despite living for so long, he found himself wanting to hold a girl's hand for the first time, wanting to protect her, and having a future and a home with her.
He also experienced the agony of missing her for the first time...
His whole mood had changed completely because of one girl!
When Qing Yan didn't reply to his messages, he felt disappointed, and when she smiled at him, he felt happy.
"What do you like about me?" Qing Yan asked, lifting her eyes.
Si Yechen gently caressed her face and said, "I like your eyes, every aspect of you, every expression you make. I like you when you're angry, when you're jealous, when you're happy... I like your uniqueness, and I like the light in your eyes when you look at me."
Qing Yan shrugged, not convinced, "In the end, you just like people who are good-looking."
"No, I like you," Si Yechen corrected her, "As long as it's you, everything about you, I like it all."
"..." Qing Yan's heart warmed, and she changed the subject, "Where should we go next?"
"Whatever you arrange," he replied.
Qing Yan planned for them to go bungee jumping and then play in the turbulent river together. In the narrow waterway, Si Yechen held her in his arms, and both of them had happy smiles on their faces.
Next, they approached the haunted house.
Si Yechen's gaze fell on the haunted house not far away. If Yan Yan was scared, he could protect her!
"Let's go there," Qing Yan said casually, "Let's check it out."
She wanted to see if the haunted house was scarier or if the Triangle District, where she had been before, was scarier.
Si Yechen noticed that her tone didn't sound like she was going on an adventure, but rather like going shopping. The little girl's courage was bigger than he had imagined.
Before entering the haunted house, they had to pass through a narrow dark passage.
Si Yechen held Qing Yan's hand tightly, "Be careful."
There were many traps along the way, and they carefully avoided them. They then saw walls adorned with skulls, and bloodstains everywhere.
"This blood looks too fake," Qing Yan thought in her heart. It wasn't convincing enough to immerse someone in the experience.
Meanwhile, a couple following behind them had already screamed in terror and ran back!
Could it really be that terrifying?
Qing Yan was a bit puzzled. Every now and then, ghosts would jump out to scare them, but instead of being afraid, Qing Yan's cold and intimidating aura gave the ghosts a startle.
"Isn't the aura of this couple too strong??" someone wondered.
As they proceeded further, they entered a secret room filled with coffins. As soon as they stepped in, the door behind them automatically locked. There seemed to be no way out, only the eerie sounds of ghosts and flickering lights.
"Don't be afraid," Si Yechen said gently.
Afraid? Qing Yan was indeed a little scared. She was afraid that when the ghosts jumped out, she might unconsciously kick them away. Several times before, she had nearly done so. If it weren't for Si Yechen's presence, she might have kicked one of the staff members playing the ghosts into a corner.
Just then, a mechanism was triggered, and a dozen darts shot towards them.
"Be careful!" Si Yechen shielded Qing Yan in his arms, swiftly dodging many of the hidden projectiles.
Suddenly, more ghosts jumped out from the coffins and corners, wielding knives to attack the couple. Qing Yan pulled down a nearby curtain to block the attacks and noticed that the curtain had been punctured by several blades.
"There's something wrong!" Qing Yan and Si Yechen both realized that these were not just staff members attacking them. The skills displayed were that of professional killers!
Who sent these people?
Do they have a death wish?!
"Yan Yan, be careful." Just then, Si Yechen protected her behind him, kicking one of the ghosts away and quickly subduing another.
It became apparent that these attackers were after Si Yechen.
Were they his enemies?
Or something else??
