Chapter 19: The Trip to the Amusement Park

Soon, they arrived at the amusement park.

It was the weekend, and the park was filled with families enjoying time together, young couples holding hands, and best friends chatting happily. The place was buzzing with excitement.

As soon as Jiang Mi and Shen Mingxuan appeared, they immediately drew the attention of many people.

“Emperor Shen ahhh, who’s the beautiful woman next to him? Is she his girlfriend, or a co-star from a drama? She’s so stunning!”

“Her figure is perfect, so tall and slender, and she has such a strong aura!”

“It’s Jiang Mi! It’s Jiang Mi! She’s even more gorgeous in person than on camera!”

Hearing the excited discussions around her, Jiang Mi tilted her head, showing a bright smile—radiant and dazzling.

In an instant, it seemed like the air had become still.

Then, suddenly, a sweet, childish voice rang out.

“Sister, you’re so beautiful! Are you an angel?”

An angel?

Hearing such a beautiful compliment, Jiang Mi’s smile grew even more evident. “No, I’m just a beautiful lady.”

【Haha, Jiang Mi is so funny.】

【So great! A beautiful woman should just own it!】

【I want to scold Jiang Mi like before, but looking at her gorgeous face, I can’t help but admire her beauty!】

Soon, the production team coordinated with the amusement park, and Jiang Mi and Shen Mingxuan were able to start their date smoothly.

The weather was perfect—sunny and bright. As the sun shone on Jiang Mi, it cast a warm, golden light on her, making her look truly angelic.

Shen Mingxuan stared at Jiang Mi, his gaze becoming dazed.

This spellbinding look didn’t last long, though, as the rollercoaster reached its peak and began its rapid descent.

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

Shen Mingxuan was momentarily distracted by her smile, his heart racing. But the next second, the rollercoaster plunged downwards and did a 360-degree loop…

“Ahhhhhh!”

“Hahahaha!”

Shen Mingxuan’s screams sounded like those of a pig being slaughtered, filling the background of the rollercoaster ride.

When they got off the rollercoaster, Shen Mingxuan’s legs were weak, but he had always prided himself on his composure, so he stubbornly remained silent.

Since he wasn’t talking, Jiang Mi continued.

Her long, slender fingers immediately pointed to a nearby giant pendulum ride.

“The giant pendulum is just as thrilling as the rollercoaster. Let’s go on that next.”

Shen Mingxuan looked at the pendulum, which swung in a full 180-degree arc. He swallowed nervously and forced out, “Okay.”

A rollercoaster and a giant pendulum ride—he could handle those, but the next attraction, the carousel, seemed like it would be a much easier ride.

After getting off the pendulum ride, Shen Mingxuan’s face was as pale as a sheet, and it looked like he was about to throw up.

Jiang Mi, showing her usual care, asked with concern, “Emperor Shen, your face looks so pale. Can you not handle these kinds of intense rides?”

“Can’t handle them?”

A man could never admit defeat!

Swallowing the words about the carousel, Shen Mingxuan gritted his teeth. “It’s probably just from the sun. I’m fine.”

Jiang Mi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. “That’s great! It looks like we’re on the same page. We can play to our heart’s content today.”

Shen Mingxuan forced a smile. “Yeah.”

Next, they went on the drop tower, the spinning chairs, the pirate ship, and bungee jumping…

After all those rides, Shen Mingxuan finally threw up.

Jiang Mi gasped in concern. “Emperor Shen, I didn’t realize you’re so weak. You can’t handle these kinds of intense rides. Why didn’t you say something earlier?”

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

Jiang Mi, ever thoughtful, handed him a bottle of ice water and asked hesitantly, “Are you sure?”

After drinking the cold water, Shen Mingxuan’s color improved a little. He glanced around at Jiang Mi and the onlookers taking pictures with their phones. Taking a deep breath, he swore he couldn’t admit defeat at this moment!

Shen Mingxuan asked, “What else do you want to do?”

“High-altitude Swing.” Jiang Mi replied.

As the name suggests, the high-altitude swing is set up high above the ground. When the swing reaches its peak, the drop below is hundreds of meters high, making the experience incredibly thrilling!

For most people, this would be terrifying, but for Jiang Mi, having run across cliffs and craggy edges while on special ops missions in her past life, this was nothing. She calmly sat on the swing and went for several rounds.

Next was Shen Mingxuan’s turn.

His face was as pale as a sheet, and his legs were trembling uncontrollably.

Jiang Mi raised an eyebrow and teased with a smile, “Emperor Shen, if you’re scared, you don’t have to play.”

She swore she wasn’t trying to provoke him. She was just stating the truth. If he was afraid, it was fine to admit it and not play—no need to force himself.

But Shen Mingxuan scanned the area, and seeing all the onlookers and people taking pictures, he felt embarrassed. A woman like Jiang Mi could do it, but as a man, it would be too humiliating if he backed out.

He swallowed hard and made his way to the swing. As he was about to sit down, he glanced downward. The hundreds of meters to the ground seemed like the gaping mouth of an abyss.

His legs buckled, and with a loud thud, he collapsed, headfirst toward the drop below.

In an instant, screams echoed through the park. Several security staff rushed to catch him, but his fall was too sudden, and none of them managed to grab hold of him.

It looked like a disaster was about to unfold.

Jiang Mi tossed aside a security guard and sprinted to the front. Then, with a quick kick to Shen Mingxuan’s chest, she sent him flying back to safety, away from the edge of the abyss.

“Emperor Shen, are you okay?”

“Ahhh! Help, help!”

The scene was in chaos—staff from the production team, amusement park security, and tourists were all shouting and running around, creating a frenzy.

Amidst the chaos, Jiang Mi stood at the edge of the high cliff, calm and composed, watching everything unfold with a serene expression.

【Suddenly reminded of a phrase, ‘That year, I had my hands in my pockets, never knowing what it meant to face an opponent.’】

【What kind of superhuman is Jiang Mi? She plays every ride without breaking a sweat, it’s insane.】

【Damn, Jiang Mi was so cool just now! Too cool, too cool!】

【Speaking of which, did Jiang Mi bring Shen Mingxuan out to the amusement park just to mess with him?】

This question caused a brief pause in the live chat, but it quickly resumed at full speed.

【I’ve been saying this—I’ve seen so many dating reality shows, but never one where the couple goes to an amusement park on their first date, and only plays the thrilling rides.】

【The key thing is that while Jiang Mi and Shen Mingxuan are playing the games, they have zero interaction!】

The chat was going wild, but in her mind, Jiang Mi could also hear her system, Benben, complaining.

【Host, the male lead nearly died just now!!!】

Jiang Mi looked at the two strong cameramen lifting Shen Mingxuan, rushing him to the nearest hospital.

“He just got a bit of a fright. He’s fine.”

【That was close, too close! He almost fell to his death! Host, you can’t be so hard on the male lead!】

“I wasn’t doing anything malicious. A villainous female lead’s role is to bother the male lead, and I did just that—invited him out for a date. The incident just now was purely an accident.”

It seemed that way, but something still felt off.

Suddenly, Jiang Mi snapped her fingers, reminding Benben, “Check the stability of this world. That should tell me if my mission is going well.”

Benben’s little head lit up.

Oh, right! As long as the world’s stability is still intact, then everything is fine.

But if it’s not…

“Don’t worry. If the world stability drops, you can guide me through the plot however you need.”

Benben, reassured by Jiang Mi’s words, took courage and checked the world’s stability. To his surprise, the stability had actually improved quite a bit.

The villainous female lead had been so cruel to the main leads, and yet the world’s stability was steadily rising. What was going on? Was there some kind of mutation happening?

Jiang Mi, seeing that Benben had stopped nagging, knew that the stability had either increased or decreased. She smiled and suddenly took out her phone to snap a picture of the amusement park.

Then she clicked send.
