The cotton candy vendor saw Li Yueyue’s delicate and cute face and suddenly felt neither leg pain nor backache; he felt as if he could carry the gas tank up six floors in one breath.
“Five yuan each,” the uncle said with a shy smile.
Damn, as expected, you can’t touch anything in amusement parks and restaurants.
One is more expensive than the other, but seeing that the uncle had already started making them, Song Yun could only shrug his shoulders and asked for one for each of the beautiful ladies.
Not much later, the uncle finished making them.
Song Yun looked at the cotton candy in the hands of Li Yueyue and the other four girls, then at the cotton candy held by others, and felt very content.
It seemed that being attractive had its perks.
The cotton candies in the girls’ hands were fearfully large, and the uncle was even saying he should give them a bit more.
“How much, uncle?” Song Yun approached with a smile.
“Twenty-five.”
After paying, the uncle asked quietly, “Brother, it must feel pretty good to be surrounded by five beauties, huh?”
“It’s alright, I guess.
Just that my wallet has never bulged,” Song Yun said with a smile.
“Indeed, beauties may look good, but the spending is no joke.
My woman at home is nearly forty, and she still wants this and that all day long.
Two or three thousand a month just doesn’t cut it,” the uncle sighed.
Because it was the weekend, there were many people at Joy Valley.
If you opened your eyes and looked around, you could only see a sea of people.
Many of the big attractions had long queues at the entrance, looking unbearably hot.
Since there was no way to experience those big attractions right away, everyone had to look for some less crowded games.
After wandering around for a long time, they finally found one.
Song Yun looked at the Rapid River ride in front of him and said helplessly, “Who gets up early in the morning just to play this?
Can’t you guys find something safer?”
“No, no, I really want to play this one,” Li Yueyue said, pulling on Li Shishi’s hand towards Song Yun.
“If you want to play this, then queue up now while there aren’t many people.
Take a spot ahead of time,” Song Yun said with a laugh.
“Who else plans to play?”
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s all go together.
It’s no fun going alone,” Li Yueyue pleaded, biting her lower lip.
The girls looked at each other and, except for Qingluan, all entered the queuing area.
Li Yueyue looked at Qingluan, who was foolishly standing outside with Song Yun, and said, “You two come and play too.”
“I’ll stay here; I don’t want to get my clothes wet,” Qingluan whispered.
“I’ll wait for you guys here with Song Yun.
Hurry up, okay?”
Watching Li Yueyue and the others enter the gate of the Rapid River, Qingluan seemed to relax suddenly, letting out a sigh as she said, “While they’re not out yet, accompany me to play something else.”
“Are you afraid of water?” Song Yun asked with raised eyebrows and a teasing smile.
“Otherwise, with your personality, you would definitely go with them.”
“Just shut up,” Qingluan glared at Song Yun, saying so.
She was indeed very afraid of water because she had fallen into the Kunlun Mountain Heavenly Pond when she was a kid, which made her fearful even of larger swimming pools.
“How come you were fine when you were in hn last time?
You even dared to play in the sea,” Song Yun asked puzzled.
“Which eye of yours saw me playing in the sea?
I only touched the water by the shore at most,” Qingluan said, pulling Song Yun and walking ahead.
The Rapid River would probably take quite a while, so this was an opportunity for the two of them to sneak off and laze around elsewhere.
As they walked and stopped along the way, they discovered many interesting things.
Then, a haunted house appeared before them.
Qingluan suddenly came to an abrupt halt without warning, took Song Yun’s hand, and pointed at the haunted house not far away, “Song Yun, let’s go play over there.”
“Play that?” Song Yun’s face became a bit unnatural.
It wasn’t that he was scared of ghosts and goblins; his fear was that if one of the staff members scared Qingluan, causing her to beat them up, it could cost a lot in medical expenses.
“What, a big guy like you is afraid of that?” Qingluan’s lips curled slightly in provocation as she looked at Song Yun.
“Are you joking?
What would I be afraid of?
Just don’t cry from being scared,” Song Yun retorted, displeased.
Haunted houses have since ancient times been great places for taking liberties.
Countless girls, frightened by the things inside, would throw themselves into the arms of their men, and the men would take the opportunity to comfort them while taking their liberties.
However, judging by Qingluan’s demeanor, she didn’t seem like a girl who would let anyone take such liberties.
Song Yun would rather not create discomfort for himself.
When they reached the ticket checkpoint, Qingluan hesitated again, clasping her hands tightly together and saying, “This doesn’t seem that fun; let’s look around some more.”
Girls are like that, both wanting to touch and afraid to touch the things they fear, insisting on being dragged along by boys.
“What are you scared of?
The ghosts here are all staff in disguise.
Besides, we’re already at the ticket checkpoint.
It’d be a waste not to go in.”
“Right!
This beautiful lady, what is there to fear with your boyfriend besides you?
Just go in and have fun,” the nearby staff member said with a smile.
She had seen this situation many times before, and the haunted house was usually the first stop for a boy leading his girlfriend, so she had said quite a few comforting words to girls over the years.
“Alright.” Hearing the words ‘your boyfriend,’ Qingluan’s face turned red as she nodded, took a deep breath, and followed Song Yun into the haunted house.
Upon entering the haunted house, the environment instantly grew dark.
Song Yun smacked his lips, looked around, and saw that a lot of money must have gone into the construction.
It was nothing like the kiddie haunted houses outside; the lighting, the background, and the occasional haunting screams were clearly high-budget.
They hadn’t walked far when Song Yun felt two small hands grasping tight onto his arm.
He turned his head with a mischievous smile and glanced at Qingluan, “Scared already?
We still have quite a way to go.”
“Scared?
Why would I be scared?
I’m just worried about tripping over in this darkness,” Qingluan excused herself.
Song Yun heard this and smiled mildly without pointing out the obvious.
What’s the use of pretending to be brave now?
When those staff members scare you later, you better not start screaming.
“Come on, let’s go.
We’ll get caught up by people behind us if we don’t move on.” Song Yun chuckled and, with Qingluan in tow, continued deeper into the haunted house.
After about a dozen steps, a wooden bridge blocked their path, with a tombstone erected in front of it, engraved with the words Naihe Bridge.
“Now comes the main dish.” Song Yun held Qingluan’s hand as they stepped onto the bridge.
He didn’t know how the haunted house was built, but although the bridge looked stable, walking on it gave the impression it was moving, inducing a sense of dizziness.
“Are you okay?
If it’s too much, we can head back the way we came.” After crossing the bridge, Song Yun looked worriedly at Qingluan, who seemed a bit pale, and had to admit the haunted house was very impressive.
In the darkness, a faint white glow wafted through the air, adding a considerable amount of terror to the house.
Moreover, from time to time, a white figure would flash overhead.
Even though they knew it was mechanically operated, in that environment, they could still feel their hearts pounding uncontrollably.
