Chapter 115

After their tickets were checked and they entered, Xia Xinya, with an eager smile on her face, grabbed Bai Yuerou’s hand and headed straight for a clothing store.

These clothing stores inside amusement parks usually didn’t have very good quality, but the two girls were still excited as they browsed around. Tang Huaijin sighed helplessly and sat down on a small stool nearby.

After picking out clothes for a while, Xia Xinya finally walked out of the fitting room, complaining a little: “Only this one is okay. Although it’s not very comfortable, at least it’s not that ugly.”

Bai Yuerou couldn’t hold back her laughter, chiding her, “Alright, you’re only going to wear it once and throw it away anyway.”

After changing their clothes, the three of them left the store and strolled along the path in the amusement park.

Considering that Bai Yuerou was timid, they first tried out several less thrilling rides.

Although Xia Xinya was having fun, her gaze kept drifting toward the roller coaster.

Noticing her best friend’s intention, Bai Yuerou smiled gently and said, “Shall we go on the roller coaster, Xinya?”

“Really?” Xia Xinya’s eyes lit up, but she hesitated, “Rou, aren’t you scared?”

Bai Yuerou’s cheeks flushed, she bit her lip and glanced at Tang Huaijin, smiling, “It’s alright. With Jin here, it should be fine.”

Tang Huaijin chuckled and nodded lightly, following the two girls toward the roller coaster. He wasn’t really afraid of these things-mostly, he’d ridden often with his sister.

After waiting in line for a while, the three of them got on the roller coaster, which happened to have seats for three. Tang Huaijin sat in the middle.

Xia Xinya sat down gleefully, her legs swinging as she looked at Tang Huaijin with a mischievous smile, “Rascal, you’re not scared, are you?”

Tang Huaijin rolled his eyes at her and didn’t respond. Instead, he looked a little worriedly at Bai Yuerou, who was sitting on his right.

Bai Yuerou’s face looked a bit pale. When she saw Tang Huaijin looking at her, she forced a smile and said softly, “I’m fine.”

Though she said so, as the roller coaster started moving, she couldn’t help but feel scared. Instinctively, she grasped Tang Huaijin’s hand.

Tang Huaijin said nothing, only smiled at her gently and comfortingly rubbed the back of her hand.

Xia Xinya saw all of this from the side, her heart sour and uncomfortable. She didn’t even notice the roller coaster reaching the highest point. As it suddenly plunged downward, she let out a loud scream.

The wind made Tang Huaijin squint, but he couldn’t help laughing. This girl always acted tough, but she wasn’t even braver than Yuerou.

Although Bai Yuerou’s face was also pale, she kept her mouth tightly shut and didn’t scream.

Once Xia Xinya realized what she was doing, she immediately closed her mouth, glared at Tang Huaijin in embarrassment, and, not to be outdone, grabbed his other hand.

Tang Huaijin didn’t mind, glancing at her with amusement and letting her hold his hand.

Xia Xinya knew that Tang Huaijin was now holding her best friend-the real girlfriend-in one hand, and herself in the other.

Her gaze unconsciously shifted toward Bai Yuerou, and an inexplicable sense of satisfaction rose within her, making the corners of her lips curl up.

This wasn’t like a horror movie. Besides the psychological thrill, there was also a physical rush. Even with Tang Huaijin by her side, Bai Yuerou still felt uncomfortable and a little dizzy.

Tang Huaijin helped Bai Yuerou sit down on a bench nearby. Seeing her pale face, he scolded her gently, “If you’re afraid of heights, you should have said so. There’s no need to force yourself to ride the roller coaster.”

Xia Xinya felt a little embarrassed too. She sat beside Bai Yuerou, held her hand, and said softly, “Rou, are you okay?”

Bai Yuerou managed a smile and replied, “It’s just a little fear of heights, nothing serious.”

Seeing Xia Xinya still looking guilty, she said with a smile, “Alright, since I need a break, let Jin go with you to play some of the more exciting rides.” As she spoke, she pointed toward the drop tower and the giant swing, teasing, “I wouldn’t dare try those! I’ll watch your things for you. Go ahead and have fun.”

Xia Xinya looked at those rides, a flicker of anticipation in her eyes. But she turned to her best friend with hesitation, “What about you?”

“I’ll be fine, just need a little rest,” Bai Yuerou said softly. “If you don’t go now, you won’t have another chance. We won’t be playing these thrilling rides later.”

“Alright then, let’s hurry,” Xia Xinya couldn’t help smiling, eagerly glancing at Tang Huaijin.

Seeing Bai Yuerou nod at him again, Tang Huaijin could only shake his head helplessly and follow Xia Xinya toward the drop tower.

All the way there, Xia Xinya held Tang Huaijin’s hand, her face beaming with joy as they played several thrilling rides together.

After getting off the giant swing, seeing Xia Xinya still wanting to drag him onto more rides, Tang Huaijin chuckled and said, “That’s enough, let’s stop here.”

Xia Xinya pouted her lips, mumbling somewhat reluctantly, “I haven’t had enough fun yet.”

As she spoke, she looked at Tang Huaijin with a playful smile and said coquettishly, “You’re not scared, are you, rascal?”

“Alright, alright, I’m scared, okay?” Tang Huaijin replied irritably, “Yuerou is still waiting for us, you don’t want to keep her waiting, do you?”

The smile on Xia Xinya’s face froze. She subconsciously loosened her grip on Tang Huaijin’s hand and said with a slightly unnatural expression, “Hmm… yeah.”

She didn’t object and obediently followed behind Tang Huaijin, but the smile on her face gradually faded, and her expression slowly turned somber.

The rascal only cares about Yuerou… I haven’t had enough fun yet…

Yeah, to the rascal, Yuerou must be the most important…

She silently glanced at Tang Huaijin’s hand, and a thought inexplicably popped into her mind.

It would be nice if Rou wasn’t here today…

When they reached the spot where they had parted, Bai Yuerou was no longer on the bench.

Tang Huaijin called Bai Yuerou, and after a few rings, the call was connected.

“Hello, Yuerou, where are you? We’re back.”

“Ah, you came back so quickly. I thought Xinya would keep you playing longer,” Bai Yuerou chuckled and said, “I’m buying bubble tea for you guys, still need to queue for a while.”

Since Tang Huaijin had the speaker on, Xia Xinya also heard Bai Yuerou’s words. She pouted unhappily and said with grievance, “The rascal insisted on dragging me back.”

Bai Yuerou laughed and said, “Then you guys wait a bit, I’m buying bubble tea for you, still need to queue for a while.”

After hanging up the phone, Xia Xinya glared at him fiercely and mumbled, “Well, that’s perfect, Rou isn’t back yet. You come with me to change clothes now. These pants are so uncomfortable, they chafe, the quality is too poor.” Saying this, she grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the clothing store.

Tang Huaijin looked at her with a headache and said, “Alright, alright, let me send a message to Yuerou first.”

Just as they entered the store, Xia Xinya remembered that all her things were with Rou, and she had nothing to change into. So she simply dragged Tang Huaijin around the store, picked up a piece of clothing, and asked with a playful smile, “Does it look good?”

“It looks good, but it’s a top,” Tang Huaijin said helplessly, “Weren’t you looking to change into comfortable pants?”

Xia Xinya rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, “What do you know? I have to match it, of course.”

With that, she picked out a few pieces she liked, hesitated for a moment, handed the clothes to Tang Huaijin, and bit her lip, saying, “Wait for me outside the fitting room and pass me the clothes.”

The fitting rooms in these small stores are quite narrow, with only a simple small stool inside, making it impossible to take many clothes in.

Moreover, there’s only a curtain outside, and although there’s a hook inside to hang clothes, Xia Xinya was still a bit uneasy, afraid someone might peek.

Tang Huaijin said with a face full of amusement, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll peek?”

Xia Xinya blushed, glared at him fiercely, and said, “If you dare peek, I’ll tell Yuerou.”

Tang Huaijin’s smile froze, and he said irritably, “Who would look at a flat-chested, flat-bottomed girl like you?”

Xia Xinya huffed twice in anger, turned her face away, and walked into the fitting room, carefully hanging the curtain.

After a rustling sound of changing clothes, Xia Xinya seemed dissatisfied, hesitated for a moment, opened a small gap in the curtain, and stuck out a small hand, saying, “The other one.” Her tone was a bit shy.

Tang Huaijin shook his head speechlessly and handed her another top.

Xia Xinya was picky, trying several times without being satisfied, and Tang Huaijin was getting a bit impatient when he vaguely heard a familiar voice.

It seemed to be… his sister’s?

He instinctively looked into the store and, sure enough, his sister was there with Han Yaoyao, holding a piece of clothing, with Shen Yiqiu standing behind them.

…?

Why is my sister here?!

Tang Huaijin’s heart skipped a beat, but fortunately, his sister and her group hadn’t noticed the commotion on this side.

Just then, Xia Xinya opened the small curtain again, stuck out a small hand, and said coquettishly, “Give me the first one again.”

Tang Huaijin didn’t have the time to think about which was the first one. Seeing Han Yaoyao looking like she was coming towards the fitting room, he was scared out of his wits, gritted his teeth, and without time to explain to Xia Xinya, he pulled open the curtain and slipped inside.
