Chapter 21: Is It Uncomfortable to Sit in My Passenger Seat?

Jian Ruo Ci opened the passenger door and got in, fastening her seatbelt.

She thought they were about to leave, but Pei Yan Zhou closed the car window, turned to look at her, and asked coolly, “Is it uncomfortable to sit in my passenger seat?”

“Huh?”

Jian Ruo Ci looked at him in confusion. This question was unexpected. The word “uncomfortable” wasn’t from her mouth. Shouldn’t he be asking her this question?

Pei Yan Zhou’s black eyes were fixed on her.

She swallowed nervously and said, “Not uncomfortable…”

Why did it feel so good to ship them?

At this moment, Xie Qingyun forgot about her guilt. The foundation of shipping them was activated. Her eyes were fixed on the people in front of her. They had such good looks, a perfect match. They were so good to ship.

Even the male and female leads in idol dramas weren’t this good to ship.

Her brother had been single for so many years. Finally, there was a woman who could capture his heart.

Three pairs of eyes fell on Jian Ruo Ci. She felt a little uncomfortable and stammered, “That… where do you guys want to go?”

The two men in the car didn’t speak. Xie Qingyun thought for a moment. “Amusement park. Ruo Ci, do you know which amusement park in Beijing is the biggest, with the most rides? I’ve always wanted to go. Finally, I have the chance.”

Amusement parks are so dreamy, with food, games, romance, excitement, and horror. It’s the perfect place for a date.

Jian Ruo Ci thought for a moment. “Kyoto Amusement Park.”

Xie Qingyun: “Then let’s go!”

On the way, she remained silent, looking out the window. Xie Qingyun in the back seat leaned forward to talk to her. “Ruo Ci, this is Han Ji.”

“The man I like. Is he handsome?”

“…” Jian Ruo Ci, for some reason, looked at Pei Yan Zhou. She met his gaze and then nervously looked away. “Handsome.”

Han Ji was indeed handsome, with a gentle kind of beauty. But compared to Pei Yan Zhou, he was a little lacking.

Jian Ruo Ci didn’t know why, but she felt inexplicably nervous when she said Han Ji was handsome, especially when that intense gaze fell on her.

When they arrived at Kyoto Amusement Park, Pei Yan Zhou parked the car. Xie Qingyun looked at Jian Ruo Ci with guilt. “Ruo Ci, I’m sorry. I betrayed you for a man.”

“Huh?”

Xie Qingyun explained, “Actually, it was just the two of us today. Then I made a deal with Pei Yan Zhou.”

She didn’t say what the deal was. She still wanted to give Pei Yan Zhou some face.

“It’s okay.” Jian Ruo Ci smiled. “I don’t mind.”

She and Pei Yan Zhou had a bit of interaction. They weren’t strangers since they could eat at the same table. As for Han Ji, she didn’t like to interact too much with strangers, but that didn’t mean she was socially anxious. She didn’t mind.

Xie Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good. I was afraid you’d be angry with me.”

“No.” Jian Ruo Ci knew Xie Qingyun had a sense of proportion. This matter wasn’t a big deal in her eyes.

Xie Qingyun had confessed, and she felt better. She thought of something and linked her arm with Jian Ruo Ci’s. “Sister Ruo Ci, you’re sending Buddha to the West. I’ve been chasing Han Ji for a long time.”

“Can you help me get Pei Yan Zhou out of the way?”

She poked her two index fingers lightly. “Give us a chance to be alone… okay? Please~.”

Jian Ruo Ci pursed her lips. If that happened, wouldn’t she and Pei Yan Zhou be alone too?

Xie Qingyun acted cute. “Sister Ruo Ci~.”

She thought about it. Actually, it was better this way. If the four of them were together, she would always feel three pairs of eyes on her. It was better if she and Pei Yan Zhou were alone for a while, even though he wasn’t so easy to get along with.

“Okay.” She said. “I’ll try.”

“Thank you, sister-in-law.”

“Huh?”

Xie Qingyun was so excited that she revealed her true thoughts. Seeing Jian Ruo Ci looking confused, she quickly waved her hand and explained, “Sorry, I got excited and called you the wrong thing.”

“I have a real sister-in-law. She’s as beautiful as you and super, super nice to me. She helps me chase men.”

“So, I got excited and called you the wrong thing. You’re even closer to me than my real sister-in-law.”

Jian Ruo Ci believed her. “It’s okay.”

Pei Yan Zhou and Han Ji came over after parking the car. Xie Qingyun saw Han Ji and went to greet him.

The two of them didn’t know what they were talking about, but Xie Qingyun greeted them. “Ruo Ci, we’ll meet here in three hours.”

After saying that, Xie Qingyun and Han Ji left.

Pei Yan Zhou walked towards her. “Where to?”

Jian Ruo Ci wanted to say anywhere, but then she thought about Pei Yan Zhou’s personality. He probably wouldn’t like this kind of place. If she said anywhere, they would probably just wander around the amusement park for three hours.

After all, they were already here, and the tickets were quite expensive.

“Let’s go on the roller coaster.” Jian Ruo Ci looked at him. “Dare you?”

“Hmm.”

The two of them went to the roller coaster. Under the instructions of the staff, they sat in the last row.

At first, the car slowly rose, reaching the highest point of the ride. Then, it descended rapidly. The wind whistled in their ears, accompanied by screams. The experience was quite exciting.

Jian Ruo Ci was different from others. She spread her arms and enjoyed the excitement of the moment.

Pei Yan Zhou’s expression was as usual. He turned his head to look at her profile, his eyes flashing with a hint of complexity. He didn’t know what he was thinking at that moment.

Feeling Pei Yan Zhou’s gaze, she turned her head to look at him. She saw his thin lips move, and he murmured, “Jian San Sui.”

She didn’t hear clearly, so she leaned closer to him and shouted, “What did you just say?”

“Nothing.” Pei Yan Zhou looked ahead. “Not afraid?”

“I, Jian Ruo Ci, am not afraid of these exciting rides.”

She had always liked to play these exciting rides since she was a child. At first, she was afraid, but then she pursued excitement. After playing a lot, she wasn’t afraid anymore.

When the roller coaster reached the highest point and descended rapidly, she could forget all the thoughts in her head.

Time was up, and she and Pei Yan Zhou got off the roller coaster together. They hadn’t walked far when they saw a mobile ice cream cart on the side of the road. There were a dozen people in line to buy ice cream. She took a few more glances.

Pei Yan Zhou followed her gaze, then turned his head to look at her. “Wait for me.”

“Huh?” Jian Ruo Ci didn’t react, then she saw Pei Yan Zhou go to the ice cream cart and join the line.

The cold-faced CEO was in line to buy ice cream. This scene was a bit…

Worth recording.

She took out her phone, opened the camera, pointed it at the ice cream line, and as the shutter clicked, Pei Yan Zhou happened to turn his head.

Jian Ruo Ci nervously put away her phone and tucked her hair behind her ear.

She waited for about ten minutes. Pei Yan Zhou came over with the ice cream in his hand and handed it to her. “Here.”

She lowered her head and looked at the ice cream in his hand. She took it and thanked him. “Thank you.”

Jian Ruo Ci lowered her head and looked at the ice cream in her hand. He had bought it for her just because she had taken a second glance. Pei Yan Zhou was the second person to do this. After that boy, no one had ever paid attention to her every move.

“Don’t you want to eat it?” Pei Yan Zhou said.

“Hmm.” She put the ice cream to her lips and took a small bite.

She froze. It was blueberry flavor, her favorite flavor of ice cream.
