The amusement park was full of adults accompanied by kids or couples on dates. There were hardly any single people walking around.
Ji Siyue had never been here before. Looking at the scene, she couldn't help thinking to herself that it was lucky she hadn't come alone, or it would have been so awkward.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Ah?"
Caught off guard by the question, Ji Siyue hadn't thought of an answer yet. After looking around aimlessly for a while, she hurriedly pointed to a booth in the distance and said, "Let's go check it out!"
Watching Ji Siyue's hasty back as she ran away, Qin Chengyao couldn't help smiling and quickened his pace to catch up.
When Ji Siyue got closer, she found it was a booth selling headbands. Each one cost forty yuan, which was quite reasonable considering they were even more expensive at the street vendors outside.
After Qin Chengyao caught up, Ji Siyue looked up at the headbands and asked him, "Senior, shall we buy one? I saw a lot of people wearing them on my way here."
"Sure. If other kids have them, you should too."
"Wh...what do you mean by 'kids'?"
Ji Siyue bit her lip and lowered her head, then silently queued up.
Finally, it was their turn.
"Hello, what kind of headbands would you two like?"
"Um..." Ji Siyue tapped her chin and thought for a while, then said, "I'll take the Minnie one. Senior, which one do you want?"
"I'll take the Mickey one," Qin Chengyao replied directly.
"Ah? Aren't Minnie and Mickey...?"
Ji Siyue didn't dare to go on, for fear others would think she was over - thinking.
"Yes, we'll take these. Could you please get them for us? I've already paid on my phone."
The shop assistant inside the booth saw many couples every day. She could tell at a glance that these two were a young couple in the flirting stage. So she replied with a smile, "Sure! Just a moment!"
She turned around to get the two headbands. As she handed them over, she said, "This is for the boyfriend, and this is for the girlfriend."
This address stunned Ji Siyue.
So in other people's eyes, she and Qin Chengyao were already a boyfriend - girlfriend pair? It wasn't just her over - thinking. Sometimes she even thought so herself.
In contrast, Qin Chengyao showed no surprise at this address. After politely thanking the assistant, he grabbed Ji Siyue's hand.
Ji Siyue had no choice but to lower her head and take the headband. "Th...thank you!"
After they left the queue, Qin Chengyao still didn't let go of Ji Siyue's hand.
Ji Siyue stole a cautious glance at their clasped hands and couldn't help wondering if she should break free. But when she asked her own heart, it seemed she didn't want to...
Just as she was lost in these thoughts, Qin Chengyao suddenly let go of her hand.
Suddenly, an indescribable sense of loss swept over her, and her expression showed a bit of shock.
Qin Chengyao put the Minnie headband on Ji Siyue's head. "Yes, you do look good like this."
With the red - and - black Minnie headband on her small face and slightly upturned phoenix eyes, she looked extremely cute.
"Am...am I really cute in your eyes, Senior?"
"You're always cute in my eyes," he answered seriously and sincerely.
"Okay."
Then Qin Chengyao handed over the Mickey headband. "Could you put this on for me?"
"Ah?" Ji Siyue took it, a bit dazed. Qin Chengyao was so tall. How could she put it on for him?
She wasn't short, standing at 165 cm, but Qin Chengyao's height...
Ji Siyue looked up at him and sniffed.
He must be at least 185 cm! It would be difficult even if she stood on tiptoe.
Just as she was worrying about whether to pull him to the roadside steps so she could stand on them to put it on for him, he bent down.
Ji Siyue stared blankly as his face got closer and closer to hers, not moving, just watching.
He was getting closer, and now there was less than a fist's distance between their faces.
From this angle, she noticed his eyes were a light brown color, which made her unconsciously think of a forest.
His eyes were as gentle as a forest, able to hold everything, including all her emotions and little feelings that were hard to detect. Ji Siyue thought so in her heart.
She didn't know if she was being silly or what, but she slowly closed her eyes as Qin Chengyao kept approaching.
After a long while, she heard a sudden laugh in front of her. She quickly opened her eyes, only to find Qin Chengyao gently blowing on her face.
Suddenly, Ji Siyue's face turned bright red. She couldn't even imagine what she had just done!
"What were you thinking?" Qin Chengyao asked with a smile.
"I wasn't! I didn't think anything! I didn't say anything!"
After shouting these three denials, she casually put the headband on his head, then ran away as if fleeing.
Qin Chengyao also laughed and chased after her. He naturally grabbed Ji Siyue's hand, which slowed her down.
After being grabbed, Ji Siyue became very obedient.
She thought for a while and held Qin Chengyao's hand back.
Although she was shy, she thought it was better to follow her heart.
"Do you want to go out for dinner again tomorrow?" Qin Chengyao felt her action and his smile grew wider.
"Why tomorrow instead of today?"
"Well... because you should have a great time today. If you have too much fun, you won't have the energy to have dinner with me. You'd better save some energy for dinner."
"Pfft! You're right... Ah! The roller - coaster!"
Ji Siyue ran forward without letting go of his hand. Qin Chengyao also quickened his pace a bit to keep up with her.
The two almost went crazy in the amusement park for most of the day.
When they sat down for dinner, she took out her phone and scrolled through Weibo.
After seeing the trending topic on Weibo, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief. After looking for a while, she asked, "Senior, did you bully someone in the game?"
"... I've bullied a lot of people."
"Then you're getting your just deserts," Ji Siyue said as she handed her phone to Qin Chengyao. He took it and a sneer appeared on his face.
The original Weibo post read: [I'm going to expose the unknown truth about the great player Golden Coin! There are pictures below. Check them out for yourselves! I clearly defeated him, but he made an excuse that his power supply was accidentally turned off and asked me to restart. The battle record was invalidated. I just want to ask, is this how you bully people?]
