Please Like Her 20 – Trip to the amusement park
In a short time, Shang Lu chose an animal-themed amusement park and created a very detailed play guide, densely written on a Word page.
She sat on a blanket in front of the coffee table, finished typing on the keyboard, and then turned her laptop towards Chi Yan, asking, “What do you think? Is there anything else to add?”
Seeing her expectant look, Chi Yan didn’t want to pour cold water, but still said, “If you arrange it this way, there won’t be enough time.”
Shang Lu was taken aback for a moment and then realized that she had planned too much. She lowered her head and said, “Then I’ll delete some.”
“The roller coaster and the ferris wheel are in the same area. If you separate their times, it’s like taking a lot of unnecessary detours. If you schedule the ferris wheel earlier, you can save some time.”
Chi Yan said this and then sat next to Shang Lu, looking at her.
Shang Lu understood and pushed her laptop over to Chi Yan respectfully, saying, “Please.”
Chi Yan’s hands tapped on the keyboard, repeatedly selecting, and divided Shang Lu’s plan into several sections.
Unlike Shang Lu’s original casual order, it was divided by area, but similar rides were placed in different sections to avoid feeling repetitive and boring.
Chi Yan’s hands rested on the desktop, simulating the division of the park’s areas, deducing the route, and making adjustments. Then he said, “It’s almost done. Barring any unexpected issues, you should be able to experience all these attractions.”
Shang Lu asked in surprise, “How do you know so much? Do you go there often?”
Of course, Chi Yan shook his head and replied, “No.”
In Shang Lu’s mind, an answer immediately came to mind, and she said, “…Don’t tell me you also bought this amusement park on a whim.”
“This belongs to the Wenren family. I helped out a bit during the expansion a couple of years ago, so I have some impression of the layout,” Chi Yan said as she checked the play guide one more time, ensuring everything was in order before saving it.
Shang Lu: “…”
—Can you not say such things with a calm tone as if you bought a potato from the neighbor!
The revised play guide by Chi Yan was indeed more organized, but Shang Lu didn’t have high hopes in her heart. After all, with the holiday crowds expected during those days, waiting in line for each attraction would take a considerable amount of time, and they probably wouldn’t be able to experience everything.
Soon, it was New Year’s Day.
Chi Yan drove Shang Lu and Xiao Mi to the amusement park.
Due to the holiday, the amusement park was beautifully decorated inside and out, giving off a festive atmosphere.
Surprisingly, as the most famous and popular amusement park in the capital, there were very few visitors today.
“Is it because we arrived very early?” Shang Lu couldn’t help but ask, then glanced at the time—it was nearly nine o’clock.
Shang Lu: “…”
It seems like that’s not the reason.
Chi Yan then explained, “I only heard about it yesterday; the amusement park restricts entry during holidays.”
Shang Lu finally understood, “Oh, I see.”
Xiao Mi looked at everything in front of her, filled with anticipation, and confirmed with Shang Lu once again, “Sister, can we really play here all day today?”
Shang Lu bent down to adjust the hairpin on Xiao Mi’s head, “Of course, as long as Xiao Mi likes it, we’ll play until the park closes, watch the fireworks in the evening, and then head back.”
“Great!” Xiao Mi happily agreed and looked around.
They soon went to have their tickets checked at the entrance.
Right at the entrance, there was a gift shop specializing in cute souvenirs related to the theme of the amusement park.
Shang Lu eagerly pulled Xiao Mi inside, and they both tried on various animal headbands.
Each one was adorable and simply irresistible.
When you go to an amusement park, you must buy these cute plush headbands; she had seen them in other people’s vlogs about amusement park visits.
Xiao Mi quickly chose a cute cat ear headband, and with Shang Lu’s reminder, she went to pick gifts for Xue Zishan and Wang Rong.
As for Shang Lu, she stood in place, somewhat indecisive, holding a white and pink rabbit ear headband and asked Chi Yan, “Which one looks better?”
Chi Yan directly said, “If you like them both, then buy them both.”
“Makes sense,” Shang Lu nodded in agreement. After all, it’s not like she couldn’t afford it, so why make a choice?
Soon, they made some more small purchases at this gift shop, intending to give them to their other friends later.
The gifts were temporarily stored in lockers near the shop’s entrance, and only the headbands were carried in their hands.
Shang Lu then realized that even though she could buy both, she could only wear one on her head.
It was clearly not convenient to keep holding them.
So, Shang Lu directly put the white rabbit ear headband on her head, while sneakily put the pink one on Chi Yan, who was looking at road signs on the roadside.
Shang Lu clapped enthusiastically, “Wow, it suits you so well!”
Xiao Mi also joined in and applauded.
After confirming the departure route, Chi Yan, feeling somewhat helpless, turned around and instinctively tried to remove this somewhat obstructive headband.
However, after seeing the disappointment on Shang Lu’s face, Chi Yan hesitated to take off the rabbit ears and adjusted the position instead.
Shang Lu then regained her smile.
Chi Yan hadn’t paid much attention to these things, but after noticing the white rabbit ears on Shang Lu’s head, he felt a bit awkward realizing that the one on his head is the pink one.
At least… she should’ve given him the white one.
Well, as long as she’s happy.
Next, Chi Yan was forced to bend down and took a photo together with Shang Lu and Xiao Mi while wearing the pink rabbit ears.
The combination of pink rabbit ears and 185 cm tall man looked a bit odd, and curious glances followed them as they walked. Two very pretty girls kept looking in their direction, clearly discussing something.
Shang Lu had already handed her phone to Xiao Mi, asking her to buy cotton candy and improve her social skills on her own while she and Chi Yan waited.
When Shang Lu noticed the glances from the two girls, she was well aware that they were looking at Chi Yan.
Shang Lu couldn’t help but look at him too. Chi Yan was standing by her side, engrossed in playing with a red string he had just bought from a roadside stall. The seller said that if he could untangle it, he could get a free gift.
Chi Yan, naturally good-looking, had slightly pursed lips at this moment, looking exceptionally serious, with his hands constantly working on the red string.
His slender, fair fingers were weaving through the strings. His index finger had already wound around the string a few times, and even someone as clever as Chi Yan was finding it a bit challenging to figure out how to untangle it.
Right at that moment, Chi Yan felt Shang Lu’s gaze on him. He looked at her and suddenly said, “Reach out.”
Shang Lu obediently extended one hand, and saw Chi Yan slipping one end of the red string onto her ring finger, then deftly flipped it a few times, quickly and completely unraveling the once tangled red string.
“So that’s how it is,” Chi Yan finally untangled the red string and understood the secret behind it. “It requires multiple support points; it’s hard to do it alone.”
Shang Lu asked in a somewhat helpless tone, “Why are you so interested in this kind of thing?”
Chi Yan then put away the red string and replied, “Didn’t you hear what the shopkeeper just said? Unraveling this red string grants you the power to make your wishes come true.”
Before Shang Lu could respond, she noticed the two girls not far away had apparently made up their minds and were walking towards her and Chi Yan.
Assert your dominance, Lulu! Let them know he belongs to you!
Okay y’all. Shang Lu and Chi Yan are the most subtle couple that I ship very hard 😭💗
