Chapter 97: Want to Take Advantage? No Way! (1/2)

Wang Jian really hated himself.

He thought Shen Lingyao would be like most girls, timid and unwilling to try the particularly thrilling rides.

His plan was to initiate physical contact through rides like bumper cars and merry-go-rounds.

Then, they would ride the Ferris wheel, paddle swan boats, eat snacks, enjoy the lake breeze, and chat about intimate little topics.

But now everything had changed.

Shen Lingyao only wanted to play the most exciting rides.

And he couldn’t refuse.

Because she called him ‘Brother Wang Jian’ so sweetly.

She even praised his bravery!

If he didn’t accompany her, his image would be completely ruined!

“Let’s go…”

Wang Jian was like a mute who had eaten bitter herbs, unable to express his suffering.

“Hmm, do you want to sit in the last row? The last row is the most thrilling, ten times more so than the rapids ride, ten times more exhilarating!”

Shen Lingyao, with Wang Jian’s face turning liver-colored, directly sat in the last row.

Wang Jian was determined!

The pirate ship was indeed more thrilling than the rapids ride.

But sitting together, he should find a chance to get close, right?

He believed that using the excuse of nervousness to hold hands or hug might not annoy her.

Yes.

That’s the plan!

No venture, no gain.

Today, I, Wang Jian, must achieve my goal!

But.

What happened next made him feel dejected again.

Shen Lingyao, whether intentionally or not, brought her drink onto the pirate ship.

As soon as they sat down, Shen Lingyao raised her hand to ask…

This definitely wouldn’t work.

Wang Jian, afraid of losing their place in line, quickly guzzled down his cola.

Shen Lingyao, however, didn’t drink and, with the auntie’s permission, ran down to store the water at the front desk. By the time she returned, someone else had taken the seat next to Wang Jian.

After all, it was the weekend, and the park was incredibly crowded.

The amusement park had no policy for reserving seats. Whoever got in line first got to sit, and nobody wanted to waste time waiting.

“Can’t sit together, then I’ll just sit here!”

Shen Lingyao ‘reluctantly’ apologized in a playful manner and sat two rows ahead of Wang Jian.

Wang Jian suddenly felt like he deserved to die.

Why hadn’t he thought of the water issue just now?

But he couldn’t just tell the robust man next to him to leave; he didn’t have the courage.

Rumble!

The pirate ship started, the roar intense.

Screams came non-stop, everyone’s faces showing both tension and excitement.

Wang Jian was particularly nervous.

As everyone knows, the last row of the pirate ship flies the highest and is the most thrilling.

As the ship swung back and forth more widely, Wang Jian’s heart twisted even more severely, and breathing became harder than on the rapids ride. Every time the ship ascended, he felt like he was about to die.

His stomach churned as well.

Suddenly, the soda he had just drunk reacted with the intense motion, rushing up his esophagus as if to break free.

“Uh…”

Wang Jian’s cheeks puffed up, his mouth filled with cola mixed with gastric juice.

He wanted to vomit.

But he didn’t dare.

Because Shen Lingyao was looking back at him, waving playfully, her smile as cute as a little princess from a Disney cartoon, making any man reluctant to lose face in front of her.

“Burp…”

Wang Jian mustered all his strength to swallow the soda back down.

But he didn’t swallow properly and choked, feeling extremely uncomfortable in his throat, wanting to cough badly.
