''Sister-in-law's ex boyfriend?'' It was Jun Boyan's turn to be stunned.
''You didn't know about it?"
He shook his head.
''They used to date way back in the past and the time when Zixuan and Mei came to Amaranthine and lived in your family mansion, he started pestering her again.''
''How is that possible? Isn't he engaged to Su Ning?''
''Sigh… You are not updated about it,'' Shi Luo shook her head, ''His fiancee dumped him. I am not sure of the details about how she did that but from what Mei told me, they are over. It's an obvious thing when he was try to chase Mei again. Why would she tolerate a man like him? And she left to focus on her career overseas.''
Jun Boyan nodded, ''I see.''
Shi Luo noticed one thing. It was not his style to be not well informed about matters. But since he was not aware of such a big thing happening in his family, it either meant that he was busy the past days or maybe he was not fond of his family, at least not to the point of paying heed to any of their matters.
She did not contemplate further on which option would be feasible, ''Why did you mention Jun Zihao?"
''That girl you asked about… she is Jun Zihao's cousin, Yang Shiyi. So, she is kind of my distant cousin and we grew up together,'' he quickly added, ''I treat her as a sister, nothing else.''
She had the urge to laugh at his cute face as he tried to assure her about it. So, things turned out to be completely opposite of what she had assumed.
Shi Luo was aware of the fact that Jun Zihao was Jun Zixuan's and Jun Boyan's half brother. So, it was obvious that the relationship between them was quite sour.
''How about your family? Are you close to them?" Shi Luo asked curiously.
Jun Boyan stroked her hair, ''Shall we go on a date tomorrow?'' he asked.
Did she overstep her boundaries?. It looked like he was not comfortable when talking about his family.
''Sure, let's go on a date tomorrow,'' she smiled at him.
The next day.
Shi Luo glanced at the grand amusement park infront of them, "Do I look like a child?'' She was speechless. Who comes to date in an amusement park?
Jun Boyan blinked, ''Are adults not allowed to come here?"
''They can but I didn't expect you to bring me here.''
He scratched the back of his neck, ''I have never been to a place like this so I got curious. This amusement park was inaugurated recently.''
Shi Luo tilted her to the side, ''What do you mean by you have never been to an amusement park? This is not moon we are talking about…''
He held her hand and pulled her inside with him, "How about you? Do you like amusement parks?"
''Of course, I love them,'' Shi Luo let him pull her but her footsteps slowed down when she realized something, ''Why does it feel so empty around here today?" Usually, amusement parks will be crowded on the weekends.
Jun Boyan coughed, ''Maybe because it is new.''
''That's possible,'' she nodded, ''Then, tell me, what do you want to try?"
''Hmm?" he glanced at her meaningfully.
Shi Luo averted her gaze, ''I mean which ride do you want to try?" she asked.
He intertwined his fingers with hers, ''What do you think of that?" he pointed his finger in a certain direction.
Shi Luo looked at his curious face before looking back at the 'come at me, I will kill you' ride. Rollercoaster. She gulped, ''S-Sure.''
''AHHHHHH!" Shi Luo closed her eyes and screamed till it felt like her lungs would pop right out of her mouth.
Jun Boyan glanced at her, ''Luoluo, are you really enjoying it that much?" he shouted but it seemed like his words were drowned by the crazy wind that got intense as the ride descended in full force.
Shi Luo held her forehead and leaned on Jun Boyan's shoulder, ''What's next? Which one would you like to try?" she rubbed her face on his shirt, trying to warm up her cold cheeks.
''That one?" Jun Boyan pointed his finger towards another ride, holding her tighter.
Cannonball loop. Shi Luo closed her eyes for a few seconds before she straightened up, ''Sure, let's try that.''
She acted like she was very experienced in this amusement park thing. It was way too late to tell him that she was quite scared actually. Moreover, he seemed to be enjoying it and she did not want to be a killjoy.
Shi Luo glanced at the ride with burning eyes. It's just a ride. I, Shi Luo, can do anything. Would I be afraid of a ride?
It was at this moment that Jun Boyan gazed at her and he noticed her enthusiasm, ''Luoluo, are you that excited?" he blinked.
''Of course I am,'' I am going to conquer my fear of heights today. With that determination set in her heart, Shi Luo dragged him with her.
But it still ended with, "AHHHHHHHH!" By this time, Shi Luo realized why the legends said that one should not overestimate their capabilities.
It was too late for the realization though because she could see seven galaxies right above her head.
''This is so scary,'' she screamed.
''Did you say something?" Jun Boyan turned to look at her, only to notice her teary eyes.
He pulled her head into his chest, ''Are you scared, Luoluo?" he spoke into her ear.
Shi Luo jolted by his sudden action.
After they descended the ride, Shi Luo was one step away from asking him to carry her. Her body felt boneless and she was going to turn into a puddle anytime soon.
''Why didn't you tell me that you were scared?" Jun Boyan massaged his forehead.
''Uhh…. I thought I could handle this much,'' she stumbled.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to him. ''Sit here,'' he helped her sit on the bench behind them.
At this moment, her phone started ringing. Shi Luo answered the call and her face darkened. ''I told you to not contact me, didn't I?" her voice was weak, perhaps the after-effects of all those scary rides.
She hung up as soon as she finished speaking.
''Who was that?" Jun Boyan glanced at her questioningly.
