Chapter 19: A Trip to the Amusement Park

Soon, they arrived at the amusement park.

It was the weekend, so there were many families enjoying themselves, sweet couples, and best friends walking hand in hand… The place was crowded.

As soon as Jiang Mi and Shen Mingxuan appeared, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

“It’s Shen Mingxuan, ahhhh! Who’s that beautiful woman next to him? Is she his girlfriend or a colleague? She’s so gorgeous!”

“Her figure is incredible, so tall and slim, and she has such a strong presence!”

“It’s Jiang Mi! Oh my gosh, she’s even more beautiful in person than on camera!”

Hearing the excited discussions from the surrounding visitors, Jiang Mi tilted her head and flashed a bright, dazzling smile.

For a moment, it seemed as if the air itself had quieted.

Suddenly, a sweet, childish voice piped up.

“Big sister, you’re so pretty! Are you an angel?”

An angel?

Hearing such a lovely compliment, Jiang Mi’s smile grew even more pronounced. “No, I’m just a beautiful woman,” she replied.

[Haha, Jiang Mi definitely has a bit of humor in her.]

[It’s true, a beautiful woman should confidently acknowledge her beauty!]

[I used to want to criticize Jiang Mi for being shameless, but now, looking at her stunning face, all I can think is how beautiful she is!]

Soon after, the production team coordinated with the amusement park staff, and Jiang Mi and Shen Mingxuan began their day of dating.

The weather was lovely, with bright sunshine casting a soft, golden glow over Jiang Mi, making her look like an actual angel.

Shen Mingxuan stared at Jiang Mi, utterly entranced by her beauty.

This state of infatuation lasted until the roller coaster reached its highest point and began to rapidly plummet downward.

Jiang Mi glanced at Shen Mingxuan with a mischievous smile. “Better be careful.”

Shen Mingxuan’s heart skipped a beat at that smile, but the next second, the roller coaster took a sharp dive and spun 360 degrees…

“Ahhhh!”

“Hahahaha.”

Shen Mingxuan’s shrieks filled the air, drowning out all other sounds on the roller coaster.

When they got off the ride, Shen Mingxuan’s legs were weak, but being used to putting up a front, he forced himself to stay silent.

Since he wasn’t saying anything, Jiang Mi continued.

Her fair finger pointed to a nearby pendulum ride. “The pendulum is just as thrilling as the roller coaster. Let’s try that next.”

Shen Mingxuan looked at the pendulum swinging at a 180-degree angle, swallowed nervously, and forced himself to agree. “Okay.”

He thought he could handle a roller coaster and a pendulum ride—after that, they could take it easy on the carousel.

But after the pendulum ride, Shen Mingxuan’s face turned pale, and he looked like he was about to vomit.

Jiang Mi showed concern, “Actor Shen, your face is so white. Are you sure you can handle such intense rides?”

Handle it? A man can’t admit he’s weak!

He swallowed his pride about the carousel and gritted his teeth. “It must be the sun making me pale. I’m fine.”

Jiang Mi seemed relieved. “That’s great! I finally found someone with similar interests. Looks like we’re in for a fun day.”

Shen Mingxuan forced a smile. “Yeah, sure.”

Next, they went on the drop tower, spinning swings, pirate ship, and bungee jump…

After a round of these rides, Shen Mingxuan finally threw up.

Jiang Mi exclaimed, “Oh no, Actor Shen, I didn’t realize you were so physically weak and couldn’t handle these thrilling rides. Why didn’t you say something earlier?”

Shen Mingxuan shook his head. “I’m fine. Just need some water.”

Jiang Mi kindly handed him a bottle of cold water, her voice laced with doubt. “Are you sure?”

After drinking some cold water, Shen Mingxuan’s color returned slightly. He looked around at Jiang Mi and the bystanders taking photos and took a deep breath—he couldn’t afford to lose face now!

“What do you want to try next?” he asked.

“Sky Swing,” Jiang Mi replied.

As the name suggests, the Sky Swing is a swing ride set high in the air. When it swings, you’re several hundred meters above the ground—extremely thrilling!

But while it might be terrifying for most people, Jiang Mi found it easy after doing special forces missions on cliffs in smaller worlds. She sat on the swing and enjoyed a few casual rounds.

Then it was Shen Mingxuan’s turn.

He turned pale and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

Jiang Mi raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Actor Shen, if you’re scared, you don’t have to do it.”

Jiang Mi swore she didn’t mean it as a taunt—she was just stating a fact. If he was scared, he should just admit it and not push himself.

But Shen Mingxuan looked around at the onlookers snapping photos—if Jiang Mi, a woman, dared to do it, how could he, a man, chicken out? That would be too embarrassing.

He swallowed nervously, determined to go for it. But as soon as he glanced down at the hundreds of meters of open space beneath him, his legs gave out, and he collapsed, nearly plunging headfirst off the edge.

Screams erupted, and several park security guards lunged to catch him.

But Shen Mingxuan fell too quickly—none of them managed to grab him.

Just as a tragedy seemed inevitable, Jiang Mi rushed forward, shoving a guard aside, and kicked Shen Mingxuan square in the chest, sending him flying back from the brink of death.

“Actor Shen, are you okay?”

“Ahhh, someone help!”

Chaos ensued as the production crew, park security, and surrounding tourists scrambled in panic, screaming and shouting.

Only Jiang Mi stood calmly at the edge, watching it all with serene eyes.

[Suddenly, I remembered a quote: ‘Back then, with my hands in my pockets, I never knew what an opponent was.’]

[Is Jiang Mi some kind of chosen one with nerves of steel? She’s gone through all these rides without breaking a sweat—she’s amazing!]

[Wow, Jiang Mi was so cool just now, totally awesome!]

[So, did Jiang Mi ask Shen Mingxuan out just to mess with him?]

As soon as this question popped up, the comment section froze for a moment before exploding with new messages.

[I’ve been thinking the same thing. I’ve watched so many dating shows, but I’ve never seen a first date at an amusement park, especially one focused on extreme rides.]

[And the key point is that Jiang Mi and Shen Mingxuan had zero interaction during the games!]

While the comments went wild, Jiang Mi’s head started to hurt from all the noise in her mind.

[Host, the male lead almost died just now!!!]

Jiang Mi watched as two burly cameramen hoisted Shen Mingxuan up and rushed him to the nearest hospital.

“He just got a little scared. He’s still very much alive.”

[Just a little scared? He almost fell to his death! Host, you can’t treat the male lead like this!]

“I didn’t do anything wrong. The evil supporting character’s role is to pester the male lead, and I did just that by asking him out on a date. As for what just happened, it was purely an accident.”

That… made sense.

But something still felt off.

Suddenly, Jiang Mi snapped her fingers, reminding Bunbun, “Why don’t you check the stability of this world? That’ll tell you if I’m doing the mission right.”

Bunbun’s little brain suddenly lit up.

Right! If the world’s stability remained, it would prove the host was on the right track.

But if…

“Don’t worry. If the stability decreases, I’ll follow the plot exactly as you say.”

With Jiang Mi’s assurance, Bunbun felt more at ease. It gathered the courage to check the world’s stability, only to find it had actually increased significantly.

The world’s stability had improved despite the male and female leads being so mistreated? How was that possible? Had the world changed?

Noticing that Bunbun wasn’t pestering her anymore, Jiang Mi knew the stability must have risen. She smiled and suddenly took out her phone to snap a photo of the amusement park.

Then she hit “send.”
