Lin Chen sat down on the pirate ship. After fastening his seatbelt, the pirate ship began to slowly rock.
“It’s my first time riding a pirate ship,” Chu Xiaoxiao murmured softly.
When she was little, her parents were too busy with work to have time to take her to the amusement park.
After high school, she was labeled the Violent Girl, so she had no friends to come to such a fun place with either.
Thankfully, Lin Chen was here now…
Just then, Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a slight pain on her thigh.
Today, she was wearing a short, light apricot dress with a thin layer of flesh-colored stockings. A perfect area of exposed skin was visible just below the hem.
Between the hem of her dress and the top of her stockings, a smooth, delicate line of her fair thigh rose and fell gently with the motion.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen, seated next to her, was growing dizzy as the pirate ship’s swing grew more intense. In his panicked state, his right hand instinctively grabbed Chu Xiaoxiao’s thigh, right on that “absolute territory.”
When Chu Xiaoxiao realized it was Lin Chen’s hand, her face instantly flushed bright red.
‘This pervert Lin Chen… he’s touching me at a time like this. How embarrassing.’
But she didn’t really hate it…
In fact, Chu Xiaoxiao didn’t dislike it at all; instead, she felt a strange, indescribable excitement.
It wasn’t until the pirate ship came to a stop that Lin Chen realized he had been holding onto Chu Xiaoxiao’s soft, boneless thigh.
“Still going to keep holding it?” Chu Xiaoxiao’s expression was incredibly shy.
“Sorry, sorry, I really didn’t mean to,” Lin Chen quickly let go.
“You took advantage of me, and all I get is an apology?”
That playful, whining tone instantly short-circuited Lin Chen’s brain. After all, he only knew how to handle runtime errors in games; he couldn’t understand a girl’s coquettishness.
He thought for a moment before speaking slowly. “It felt pretty nice.”
“Huh!?” Chu Xiaoxiao instantly transformed into a “Steam Girl.”
“Saying something like that is so stupid! And you’re supposed to only say that when we’re alone!”
With that, she hopped off the pirate ship without looking back. Thoroughly confused, Lin Chen quickly followed, thinking to himself that galgames really were a bad influence; they weren’t increasing affection points at all.
But then again, when it came to Lin Wanfeng, that line seemed to work surprisingly well…
“I want to try this one,” Chu Xiaoxiao said, pointing at the carousel. But seeing that the riders were all children, she felt a bit awkward about joining in.
“The carousel? A classic ride. I feel like you haven’t really been to an amusement park if you don’t ride it.”
Hearing Lin Chen’s response, Chu Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. “Right? Right? So you have to ride it with me…”
…
After finishing bumper cars and the haunted house, the next attraction was the Ferris wheel.
Lin Chen was still replaying the haunted house scenario in his mind. Since he and Chu Xiaoxiao were far too calm—even sizing up the actor’s costumes—the young woman who had just started working there ended up feeling self-conscious under their scrutiny.
She could only grumble to herself, ‘What a weird couple. You come to a haunted house but don’t get close, and instead discuss whether the blood on my costume looks real enough?’
Holding Lin Chen’s hand, Chu Xiaoxiao looked up at the towering Ferris wheel. She couldn’t help but think of manga scenes where the male and female lead confess their feelings on the Ferris wheel, then hug and kiss.
Chu Xiaoxiao wanted to try that too, but first, she still hadn’t apologized for how badly she had treated Lin Chen before.
So, holding his hand, she led him to stand under a large, old tree. It was very quiet there, with no one else around.
“Lin Chen, actually, I wanted to say… about before, I’m very…” She looked at his profile, but the last word of the apology wouldn’t come out.
She was afraid. Afraid to say the word “sorry.”
“About what?”
“It’s, um…” Just as Chu Xiaoxiao hesitated, a strong wind blew.
Chu Xiaoxiao’s already short skirt was blown up, revealing her previously hidden pure white panties.
She froze instantly. Her ears turned bright red, and even her neck flushed a delicate pink.
“White…” Lin Chen reacted too, turning away in a panic.
“You saw it, didn’t you!?” Chu Xiaoxiao was both embarrassed and angry.
“No, the wind got in my eyes just then. I didn’t see anything.” Still turned away, Lin Chen shook his head frantically, denying everything.
“Liar. I bet you even saw the little bear pattern on them.”
“No, I didn’t. How could I? I don’t remember any pattern on them.”
Lin Chen answered reflexively. The impact of that moment was too strong; the beautiful sight was burned into his memory.
“You said you didn’t!”
Seeing that his act of playing dumb had failed, Lin Chen turned around and apologized seriously.
Seeing how sincere Lin Chen was, Chu Xiaoxiao forced herself to stay calm.
“It’s okay. It’s just… um, I just remembered…” But her flustered expression completely betrayed her. “Qing Wan said dinner’s ready. I have to go. Bye.”
‘Great… I’ve probably offended Miss Chu now.’ Lin Chen’s mind was racing, worried that the game’s theme song deal might be ruined.
Thinking back, not only had he grabbed Chu Xiaoxiao’s thigh today, but he had also accidentally seen up her skirt.
Given Chu Xiaoxiao’s young lady personality, she was definitely going to blow her top, right…
Maybe after the game is released, he could sincerely invite her out for a proper apology.
But for now, Lin Chen couldn’t afford to dwell on the failure to secure the theme song. It was already close to 12 PM.
He had kept the most terrifying Mafia Princess in college history waiting for over an hour.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen rushed off again toward the aquarium without a moment’s pause…
As he pedaled his bike furiously, he kept thinking to himself: ‘I’m dead. I’m dead.’
When Lin Chen arrived at the aquarium restaurant, breathless, he didn’t find the scene he had dreaded: two burly men pinning him to the ground and dragging him to the young lady to atone for his sins.
Instead, he saw Lin Wanfeng leaning against the glass wall of the restaurant, fast asleep.
Warm sunlight fell on the girl’s black hair, casting tiny specks of light.
The usual slyness in her eyes was completely gone. Through the window, he could only see a well-behaved girl, peacefully lost in her dreams.
Lin Wanfeng had stayed up late the night before, researching for a successful date. She had also woken up early to put on makeup. With less than four hours of sleep, she had accidentally dozed off while waiting for Lin Chen.
When Lin Chen walked into the restaurant, he also noticed a few boxes of medicine for diarrhea on the table.
The medicine was clearly newly purchased. Even in her sleep, Lin Wanfeng was clutching the medicine she had prepared for Lin Chen.
“Miss, Miss, wake up~” Lin Chen gently patted Lin Wanfeng’s arm.
“Mmm… no, I want to sleep a little longer,” Lin Wanfeng mumbled, rubbing her head against the glass wall without even opening her eyes.
Lin Chen had no choice but to shake her a little harder.
“Huh?” Lin Wanfeng blinked sleepily, even a bit of drool at the corner of her mouth. “Time to get up?”
“Lin Chen!” In her panic, she didn’t call him “Boyfriend” like before, but used his full name.
“It is time to get up, Miss.”
The thought of Lin Chen seeing her so groggy, possibly drooling, made her want to dig a hole and bury herself.
“And you kept this young lady waiting for so long! Minus 1000 points! Immediate death sentence!”
