Chapter 238
Feng Qingyi scanned the code to pay. "I was just asking for your input to make you feel involved. Besides, this panda is obviously cuter than the rabbit. Your taste is questionable."
Qin Yuchuan stared at Feng Qingyi's head again. The two short black ears she wore had a colorful flower on top, which looked somewhat out of place, but on her head, it was indeed very cute.
"Mm, it is very cute," he agreed.
Feng Qingyi pulled Qin Yuchuan forward. They happened to encounter a person in a rabbit costume hopping around on the roadside, surrounded by a crowd taking photos.
Feng Qingyi looked up at Qin Yuchuan. "This rabbit is much cuter than the one we just saw. Can we go take a photo with it?"
Before Qin Yuchuan could answer, Feng Qingyi had already pulled him over. She took out her phone and asked a young woman nearby to help them take a picture.
"Young man, young lady, stand closer together. Be more intimate, don't be so serious," the woman instructed.
Feng Qingyi glanced in Qin Yuchuan's direction and found him standing as if at attention, looking extremely serious.
She walked over to him. "Smile a little, don't be so expressionless. You can put your hand on the rabbit's shoulder."
Qin Yuchuan had never taken photos before, so he was a bit stiff, but he followed the instructions and gave a slight smile.
Soon, the young woman had taken several photos for them. Feng Qingyi looked through the pictures on her phone.
In the photos, Qin Yuchuan was still standing straight as a pine tree. His hand appeared to be on the rabbit mascot's shoulder but was actually hovering in the air. The smile on his face looked somewhat forced.
In all five photos, his smile was exactly the same, as if copy-pasted, while she had changed her pose several times.
Qin Yuchuan leaned in. "What's wrong?"
"When I see you smile normally, you're not this stiff. Do you not like taking photos?" Feng Qingyi asked.
Qin Yuchuan shook his head. "I'm just not used to it. Shall we continue on?"
"Alright," Feng Qingyi said, putting her phone back in her pocket.
The amusement park was very lively, with colorful balloons visible everywhere and the laughter of children filling the air.
The two walked side by side and soon arrived at the carousel. Cheerful music floated through the area.
"Do you want to ride the carousel with me?" Feng Qingyi asked expectantly.
Seeing her excited face, Qin Yuchuan nodded. "Sure."
Feng Qingyi pulled him towards the queue. After the previous riders exited, the two of them entered.
Horses of various colors, cheerful music - Feng Qingyi sat just ahead and to the left of Qin Yuchuan. She could see him with just a turn of her head.
Qin Yuchuan kept looking in Feng Qingyi's direction. When their eyes met, Feng Qingyi gave him a radiant smile.
The horses slowly rotated, the music grew more lively, and some children behind them sang along off-key.
Feng Qingyi took out her phone, took a couple of selfies, and even found an angle to include Qin Yuchuan in the frame.
As the music slowly faded and the carousel came to a stop, Feng Qingyi dismounted and pulled Qin Yuchuan out with her.
"Look, isn't this nice?" Feng Qingyi showed Qin Yuchuan the photos she had just taken.
Qin Yuchuan looked at the photos carefully. "They're nice."
"Then I'll take more photos later and send them to you when we get back," Feng Qingyi said.
"Alright." Still not fully accustomed to this world, Qin Yuchuan supported all of Feng Qingyi's suggestions.
Feng Qingyi asked, "What did you think of the carousel just now?"
"It was nice. I'll take you horseback riding sometime in the future."
Feng Qingyi replied, "I can already ride a horse at a slow pace. Ling He taught me before, but I don't dare to go too fast. It feels dangerous."
Qin Yuchuan said, "You're still learning, so it's good to be careful. Don't let yourself get hurt. There are several equestrian clubs on the outskirts of Shengjing. I'll take you when I return."
Feng Qingyi nodded. "I heard from Yan Yang that you probably won't be able to return for a while. We'll talk about it when you're back."
"Where else would you like to go?" Qin Yuchuan asked.
Feng Qingyi looked at the pirate ship ride not far ahead. "How about we try that?"
Feng Qingyi had never dared to try the pirate ship ride before, but with Qin Yuchuan here today, she wanted to experience it with him.
Seeing that it was just a wooden boat, Qin Yuchuan thought it would be similar to the carousel they had just ridden, so he agreed.
It was Feng Qingyi's first time on the pirate ship, and she was very nervous. She grabbed Qin Yuchuan's hand.
"Aren't you scared?" she asked.
Qin Yuchuan replied, "What's there to be scared of?"
"I've heard this is terrifying. I've never ridden it before," Feng Qingyi said.
Qin Yuchuan reassured her, "I'm here. There's no need to worry. Some things you have to try to know what they're like. It's my honor to try new things with you."
When the pirate ship officially started, Feng Qingyi didn't feel much at first. But when the ship reached its highest point and plunged downward, she felt dizzy and nauseous, as if she might throw up at any moment.
Feng Qingyi held Qin Yuchuan's hand tightly. As the ship's swinging gradually decreased, she looked at Qin Yuchuan beside her.
His face seemed a bit pale, and he didn't look well.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Feng Qingyi asked.
Qin Yuchuan replied, "It's nothing. How do you feel?"
"A bit dizzy, and I feel like throwing up," Feng Qingyi said weakly.
Qin Yuchuan put his right arm around Feng Qingyi. "Lean on me. It should be over soon."
"Mm, I think we shouldn't play these intense rides in the future. We're only suited for things like the carousel and Ferris wheel."
After getting off the pirate ship, they sat down on a bench.
Feng Qingyi looked at Qin Yuchuan and even reached out to touch his face. "Are you feeling unwell too?"
"I'm fine," Qin Yuchuan said, holding her hand.
Feng Qingyi pulled away. "Wait here for a moment. I'll go buy some water over there."
"I'll come with you," Qin Yuchuan stood up as well.
They went to buy water together. Feng Qingyi saw an ice cream stand and bought one.
Qin Yuchuan carried the water while Feng Qingyi walked in front with the ice cream, taking a spoonful to taste.
Although summer had arrived in the Capital City, the weather hadn't warmed up much, and eating ice cream still felt a bit cold.
After taking a bite, Feng Qingyi scooped up another spoonful and fed it to Qin Yuchuan. "Is it good?"
"Too sweet," Qin Yuchuan said.
"Eating sweet things improves your mood. Have another bite."
Feng Qingyi fed Qin Yuchuan another spoonful. Although he said he didn't like sweet things, he still accepted Feng Qingyi's offering.
