IACF [QT] Chapter 17.2

Arc 1: Blinding (2)

Advertisement

Guo Yanyan looked at the two people not far away with a slightly complicated look in her eyes.

She did have a crush on Xiao Yan. It could be said that there were only a few girls in the class who didn’t like him, but no one had ever shown it too obviously, and no one dared to confess.

After all, Xiao Yan always looked cold and indifferent as if he didn’t care about anything, and he had never been warm to anyone. His conditions were also beyond reach, so the girls privately called him the flower in the high mountain.

Everyone was looking up to him, and if no one could get him, there would be no injustice.

But once it was discovered that the untouchable person didn’t choose to ignore everyone and there was an exception, the mood of the people who were waiting on the sidelines was inevitably a little fluctuating, even if that person was his sister.

On weekends, many people came to the amusement park to play. They lined up to buy tickets, and after entering, they had to line up for each entertainment project.

Su Yi immediately spotted the roller coaster with the longest queue, looked up for a while, and was eager to try it.

Two boys wanted to go to the haunted house, and the other two girls wanted to play on the pirate ship.

Han Lu simply clapped his hands and said, “Then, let’s play separately. When you are done playing, gather in the center of the square and have lunch together.”

So, they split up. The two girls walked out about ten meters and looked back. Xiao Yan was lowering his head slightly, listening to his sister.

Su Yi pointed to the long line and asked Xiao Yan and Han Lu: “I want to play this. What about you?”

Han Lu waved his hands repeatedly, “I’m a little afraid of heights. Ah Yan, I remember you are not interested in these, so let’s wait here.”

Xiao Yan glanced at him and said to Su Yi: “I haven’t played it before. I can try it.”

Han Lu stared at him. This was different from what he said before.

Who said it was boring and childish?

Who said he was uninterested last night and now said he could try it?

Why didn’t you ride the roller coaster to heaven!

Su Yi looked at Han Lu in surprise, “Are you afraid of heights?”

“W-why not?” Han Lu raised his chin and said, “No one said that a real man can’t be afraid of heights, right?”

Su Yi thought about it and nodded, “Yes, I was wrong. I thought only children were afraid of heights.”

“…”

Although there was nothing wrong with this sentence, why did it sound so awkward?

Su Yi said again: “But we are all out playing, what are you going to do alone? Otherwise, go and wait there. My brother and I will be down soon.”

She pointed to the opposite side.

Han Lu turned around and saw that there was a rest shed, where many children lined up to get balloons from a cartoon doll. The oldest child looked no more than eight years old.

Then, Han Lu understood that he was being laughed at by the little girl.

Was it revenge for him calling her little girl or a counterattack for making fun of her for going on an autumn outing?

He said that Xiao Yan’s sister was no ordinary person. Looking at her little face, it was so innocent; listening to her words, it was so sincere.

Humph! If he admitted defeat, he would not be surnamed Han!

“Why am I afraid of heights? I’m just kidding. Come on, come on, don’t you want to play? Hurry up and line up, let’s go together.”

He laughed, puffed out his chest, and squeezed in front of the two people.

Su Yi was whispering to Xiao Yan behind him, and her voice was just loud enough for Han Lu to overhear: “Is he okay? I think he would cry when he came down.”

Xiao Yan said seriously: “Pretend you didn’t see it.”

“I know. You have to give people face.” Su Yi nodded obediently.

Han Lu pricked up his ears and his face turned green.

These two siblings were devils!

The people slowly moved forward, and it was about to be their turn.

The anger that was aroused just now slowly dissipated. Han Lu looked up at the people screaming on the roller coaster, swallowed his saliva, and felt a little weak in his legs.

Or… Just forget it?

He was already grown up, so there was no need for him to compete with a little girl, right?

It was normal to be afraid of heights. As a man, what was wrong with being afraid of heights?

Louis XIV still wore high heels, but wasn’t he still a king?

As he thought so, he slowly straightened his back which was slightly bent due to weak legs. He felt that his fear of heights was not a big deal.

Han Lu cleared his throat, turned around, and said, “I think—”

Su Yi held a lollipop in her mouth and looked at him sincerely, “I think you should wait over there. It’s normal to be afraid of heights. We can’t expect you to be good at everything, right? You play with the kids for a while, and we will be down soon.”

“…I think I can do it. There is no problem at all.” Han Lu said dryly.

After saying that, he couldn’t help but slap himself in the face in his heart.

Let you be stubborn!

Su Yi stuck out her tongue behind him. She felt that the lollipop in her mouth was sweeter.

As for Xiao Yan? He was helping his sister with her school bag and heard nothing.

Finally, it was their turn.

Su Yi sat on it excitedly, fastened the seat belt, and held the guardrail with both hands, looking forward to it.

The long roller coaster started slowly, speeding up faster and faster. When it reached the top, it seemed to pause for a moment, and then suddenly dived down!

“Ahh—”

The people on the roller coaster screamed loudly. Su Yi thought that it was interesting, so she screamed too.

Among all the screams, there seemed to be one voice that was particularly miserable.

Uphill, diving, twisting, hanging upside down…

All the sections that made people’s blood boil were walked once, and when getting off the roller coaster, many people were still reluctant to leave.

Su Yi jumped to the ground, turned her head, and looked at the queue that was longer than before. She sighed with a little regret.

Xiao Yan pointed to the snack stand not far away: “Want ice cream?”

“Yes!” Su Yi immediately diverted her attention and ran to the ice cream stand to queue up.

Behind them, Han Lu’s legs were shaking. He held onto the wall and stood shakily. It was worth congratulating that his fear of heights seemed not as severe as before.
