Chapter 133: Chapter 132: Little Sister, Who Are You Acting Cute For?
A roller coaster at this speed was nothing for Ye Ling. Especially with Ning Ruoxi throwing herself into his arms, it perfectly sparked his masculine pride.
Holding Ning Ruoxi, he felt not a shred of fear, just like a soldier heading onto the battlefield.
Even during the more thrilling parts, Ye Ling’s heart only beat a little faster, but he continued to comfort Ning Ruoxi.
"Alright, it’s stopped now."
As the roller coaster slowly came to a stop, Ye Ling smiled and ruffled Ning Ruoxi’s hair.
But Ning Ruoxi didn’t let go. Instead, she hugged him even tighter and said pitifully, "I’m never riding that again..."
"Okay, we won’t ride it again. We can go on some tamer rides later, how about that?"
Seeing Ning Ruoxi’s face, slightly flushed from the scare, Ye Ling couldn’t help but feel his heart ache for her.
’If I’d known this would happen, I should have refused to bring her on this kind of ride from the start.’
Just then, a staff member came over and unfastened the safety restraints for Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi.
"Hey, buddy, you should take your girlfriend to get a bottle of water. A cold one might help calm her nerves," the staff member said with a smile.
"Thanks."
Ye Ling nodded and helped Ning Ruoxi out of her seat.
Ning Ruoxi’s legs were still a bit shaky. If Ye Ling hadn’t been supporting her, she probably would have had trouble even getting down.
"Sit here for a bit. I’ll go buy some water."
Ye Ling ruffled her hair again, then went to buy a drink and came back.
After having a drink and resting for a while, Ning Ruoxi finally recovered.
At that moment, she recalled the recent events, and her face instantly turned beet red.
’This is so...’
’Humiliating!’
Ning Ruoxi could still picture her fearless expression when they had first arrived at the amusement park.
’I feel like after today, my status in this relationship is probably done for.’
After all.
’I made such a fool of myself in front of Ye Ling...’
’Knowing that jerk’s personality, he’ll definitely use this to tease me forever!’
"You okay?"
Ye Ling was now looking at the girl with a teasing expression.
’Serves you right for being so cocky earlier. You’ve learned your lesson, haven’t you?’
"Hmph!"
Ning Ruoxi pouted but couldn’t say anything. After all, she had completely eaten her own words.
"Let’s go ride the bumper cars, shall we?"
Ye Ling didn’t keep teasing Ning Ruoxi about it, instead leading her toward another section of the park.
Next, Ye Ling took Ning Ruoxi on almost all the rides, although he deliberately avoided the more intense ones, like the drop tower.
Although the feeling of Ning Ruoxi throwing herself into his arms was very satisfying to his male pride, he couldn’t bear to see her so terrified.
"We haven’t been to the Ice and Snow World yet, have we?"
After a few more rides, Ning Ruoxi had fully recovered her spirits. Spotting the large words in the distance, she immediately started shaking Ye Ling’s arm and whining playfully, "I wanna go, I wanna go!"
"Alright, I’ll take you."
Ye Ling affectionately ruffled her hair and couldn’t help but smile. "Silly girl, whining like a little kid."
"Hmph! What? Are you tired of me? Don’t you love me anymore? Has the spark faded?"
Ning Ruoxi immediately pouted in dissatisfaction.
"No, no, of course not. My darling is cutest when she’s being playful."
Ye Ling grinned, then leaned down and planted a kiss on her pouting lips.
"What are you doing!?"
Ning Ruoxi’s face flushed crimson as she pushed Ye Ling away.
’That jerk, kissing me in front of everyone...’
’It’s so... outrageous!’
Quite a few people had indeed noticed the scene. However, instead of looking annoyed by Ye Ling and Ning Ruoxi’s public display of affection, they just gave them knowing smiles.
"Are all young people this open nowadays...? Can’t they spare a thought for us single uncle-types?"
Just then, a bald man happened to be passing by, camera in hand. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but mutter under his breath.
"Hmph! It’s all your fault!"
Ning Ruoxi had naturally heard the man’s muttering and immediately shot Ye Ling a glare.
"Alright, alright, let’s go to the Ice and Snow World!"
Ye Ling, however, simply took Ning Ruoxi’s small hand and started walking toward the attraction.
The so-called Ice and Snow World was actually just an artificially created ice and snow venue. Because the temperature inside was very low, you had to rent a down jacket.
"Amusement parks are getting more and more ridiculous with how they make money."
Ye Ling shook his head. He hadn’t expected that renting a down jacket would cost two hundred yuan.
However,
with his current wealth, he naturally wouldn’t sweat such a small amount.
To him, money was truly just a number.
"Let’s go."
Ye Ling led Ning Ruoxi toward the entrance of the Ice and Snow World.
The moment they stepped inside, a blast of cold air hit them.
"Ooh, it’s a little cold..."
Even though Ning Ruoxi was wearing a down jacket, she couldn’t help but shiver.
Most girls tend to feel the cold more, unlike someone as tough as Ye Ling, who didn’t feel a thing when the chilly wind blew past.
"Not cold anymore, right?"
Ye Ling reached out, pulled Ning Ruoxi into his arms, and smiled.
"Not cold anymore."
Ning Ruoxi tilted her head up, looked at Ye Ling’s handsome face, and gave him a gentle smile.
Ye Ling kept his arm around Ning Ruoxi as they walked deeper inside.
Inside the Ice and Snow World were many strange and wonderful ice sculptures, illuminated by colorful lights that reflected brilliantly off the ice.
"It’s so beautiful..."
Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but sigh in admiration at the sight.
For kids like them who grew up in the south, they rarely saw this kind of icy landscape, so it all felt very new and exciting.
"Silly, let’s take some pictures together?"
Ning Ruoxi suddenly thought of something and asked in a soft voice.
"Sure."
Ye Ling nodded, naturally not refusing. He scanned the area and then walked over to a middle-aged woman.
"Excuse me, miss? Could you please help take a few pictures of my girlfriend and me?"
Ye Ling asked.
This was all in the details. Given the woman’s age, calling her "ma’am" would have been most appropriate, but he chose to call her "miss" instead.
If he had actually called her "ma’am," she probably wouldn’t have agreed to help them take pictures...
Sure enough, hearing herself addressed that way, and seeing such a handsome young man, the middle-aged woman immediately beamed with joy.
"Yes, yes, of course! No problem."
The middle-aged woman enthusiastically took the phone from Ye Ling’s hand, smiling.
