Chapter 280: That Is His Secret Alone_1
After a scrumptious seafood meal that took them almost an hour to finish, Ye Xingguang, with a satisfying belch and a full belly, dragged Ye Junqing to the Mermaid Theme Park to digest.
With a plethora of water activities, the Mermaid Theme Park was bustling with people, even near eleven at night.
However, Ye Xingguang could only stand aside and watch the fun as she couldn’t swim.
Ye Junqing tried to draw her into the queue for the ferris wheel, but she resisted, dismissing it disdainfully, “I’m too mature for these kiddie toys. Not interested.”
Are you sure it’s not because you’re afraid of heights?
Ye Junqing didn’t see the need to uncover her lie. Instead, he drew her close to him and continued to wait in line.
He enjoyed taking her on the ferris wheel. The way she would exaggeratedly cling to him, giving off a sense of complete reliance, was particularly enjoyable for him. Even though it seemed quite scummy to take his acrophobic fiancée on the ferris wheel, he’d gladly be the villain!
At this moment, Ye Junqing wanted to play the bad guy.
Having bought the tickets, Ye Xingguang, standing in front of the ferris wheel, was already on the verge of freaking out: “No, no, no ferris wheel. They’re not fun at all. I’m a grown-up fairy, you know. Who’d want to ride such a childish thing?”
Off to the side, a child pestering their parents to get on the ferris wheel spoke up loudly after hearing her words: “The big sister is just scared! That’s not childish!”
“Who is scared? Me? Scared of a ferris wheel?” Ye Xingguang retorted defiantly through teary eyes.
The kid, with a smirk, boarded one of the cabins. As he sat down, he threw a contemptuous look at Ye Xingguang.
Feeling insulted, Ye Xingguang steeled herself, stoically heading for another cabin.
As soon as she stepped in, she regretted it. Could she really not bear to admit her fear?
Ancient sayings suggested that if one is timid, then it would set a trend. Thus, she should definitely not show any signs of being scared!
Ye Junqing followed her into the cabin. Inside, it was just the two of them.
Looking at her, hands clenched tightly on the seat, Ye Junqing asked knowingly, “Scared?
“Not at all!” After her firm denial, her grip tightened even further.
Ye Junqing didn’t sit next to her, instead taking a seat opposite her. With a leisurely posture, he looked down at the layout of the Mermaid Theme Park from high above.
He held two secrets in this park, a major one, and a minor one. He hid his deepest affection in Mermaid Theme Parks nationwide, unrecognized so far. Those secrets were only for him.
As their ferris wheel cabin reached the three o’clock position, Ye Xingguang, too terrified to look down, shifted her bottom to sit next to Ye Junqing, unconsciously getting closer to him.
As Ye Junqing shifted his glance back towards Ye Xingguang, he asked with a hidden smile, “Thought you weren’t scared?”
“Then why are you sitting so close to me?”
Aren’t I your official partner?
Aren’t I your fiancée?
You snuck into my bed while I was asleep at the hotel, and I didn’t say a word! Now I sit next to you, and you have an issue? This fairy is truly furious!
Enraged, Ye Xingguang went back to sit opposite Ye Junqing. But as the ferris wheel continued to climb, her fear increased. With a pounding heart and sweaty palms, she couldn’t help but sneak a glance downwards when their cabin reached the one o’clock position. Unable to hide her fear of heights any longer, she let out a startled cry and dramatically plonked herself onto Ye Junqing.
