Chapter 56: Part 1
But soon, Cheng Jun physically showed her that this man probably took what he said as air. By the time he got home, he seemed to have forgotten what he had said and taken out a bag of chips and started chewing on it.
“How come you didn’t eat any of this stuff left in the fridge? What are you eating these days?”
Cheng Jun sounded uncertain: “Air …….”
Ruan Jiu Jiu: “……” What the hell!
“You did not have one meal in a few days, did you?”
“No.” Cheng Jun slowly retorted, “There is also a bucket of instant noodles.” Although the noodles were thrown away after a few bites.
Ruan Jiu Jiu has no doubt that, given a chance, Chang Jun will ascend and pass away at his home.
The two had a simple meal.
Cheng Jun’s fever had subsided, but he looks a little tired, he took his medicine, and sat on the sofa.
Ruan Jiu Jiu packed up and got ready for bed. The thought of having to continue to go to the company next time made her embarrassment grew. The holes she had dug at the beginning now had to be filled by herself; typically, a self-made pitfall.
She went back to her room to rest.
She did not sleep well that night because her mind was full of things about the future.
Will she have a future with Cheng Jun? Ruan Jiu Jiu could not be sure of it herself.
She turned over, unable to sleep, and a bit dry-mouthed, so she decided to get up to drink some water. When she opened the door, there was a dark figure sitting on the sofa in the living room, scaring Ruan Jiu Jiu that almost made her jump three feet high.
“What are you doing?!!” You are not stealing food in the middle of the night again!
Cheng Jun rubbed his eyes, looking as if he was not asleep.
How can Ruan Jiu Jiu know that he was afraid that she would wake up and run away in the middle of the night? So, he stayed in the living room, for fear that Ruan Jiu Jiu would escape without even saying a word.
“Quickly go back to sleep.”
“Hmm.”
Ruan Jiu Jiu drank a glass of water, and Cheng Jun still sat motionless on the sofa. She blinked and asked, “Didn’t we say we were going to the amusement park tomorrow? How can you have energy if you don’t sleep?”
Cheng Jun just said slowly, “You sleep.”
“Okay, good night.”
Cheng Jun watched her figure disappear behind the door. The bedroom door was closed with a thud, leaving him sitting alone on the sofa.
Late at night, Cheng Jun did not sleep.
In the dark living room, Cheng Jun silently took out his phone and reviewed the flow of tomorrow’s date. The roller coaster and pirate ship are the must-have rides, and if Ruan Jiu Jiu dares to enter the haunted house, it will be the grand finale.
Cheng Jun’s mind floats to the scene of Ruan Jiu Jiu wailing and screaming, and then fell on him.
“……”
He could not sleep even more.
……
After drinking a glass of water, Ruan Jiu Jiu finally fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes, it was already sunrise.
She pushed open the door as usual and yawned lazily, only to find that Cheng Jun fell asleep on the sofa without knowing when.
“I can’t believe you’re still not awake?”
Cheng Jun opened his eyes as soon as Ruan Jiu Jiu’s voice fell. He rubbed his eyes slowly and said, “I accidentally fell asleep.”
In fact, it was not until morning that he finally got some sleep.
“Are you still going to the amusement park today?”
“Go.” Cheng Jun replied in a firm voice.
“Okay.” Looking at Cheng Jun’s appearance, it seems that he was looking forward to the trip to the amusement park more than she does.
The two of them ate their sandwiches, changed their clothes, and took a taxi to the amusement park. In winter, there were fewer people, and recently it is in the examination period, and not a day off, so there are few people in the amusement park. Two people wearing masks and hats, the security guard stared at them for a long time, as if staring at two criminals.
“You wait here.”
Ruan Jiu Jiu: “What for?”
With the ticket in her hand, she eagerly looked at the rides and games in the amusement park, and before long, Cheng Jun came back.
Holding two ice cream cones in his hands.
Ruan Jiu Jiu gave him a death stare: “Why did you buy this?”
Cheng Jun answered naturally: “That’s what they do on TV.”
“…… But it’s January now.”
Cheng Jun: “Yeah.”
Ruan Jiu Jiu: “……”
It did not take long before the ice cream in his hand was almost as hard as a pile of ice. Ruan Jiu Jiu licked it, took a bite, and immediately began to huff and puff. The ice cream was so cold that it almost froze her head and she grimaced, causing Cheng Jun to look back.
“Hot mouth?” He asked sincerely.
Ruan Jiu Jiu did not smile.
“I advise you to be good.”
Ruan Jiu Jiu licked her ice cream for a long time, during which Cheng Jun ate a few more grilled sausages and waited patiently for Ruan Jiu Jiu to finish eating.
After finishing the ice cream, Ruan Jiu Jiu was a little clearheaded, Cheng Jun slowly asked her: “What are you going to play, roller coaster?”
“Yes!”
Ruan Jiu Jiu’s voice trembled as if she was scared. In fact, she was only shivering from the cold, coupled with a tremble of excitement.
Boss Cheng gloriously misunderstood.
There was no need to line up at this point. The two got on the roller coaster and sat in the first row. Cheng Jun wanted to be considerate of Ruan Jiu Jiu’s body and take her to sit in the middle. Who would have thought that Ruan Jiu Jiu likes to stand up too much, and said that she wanted to sit in the first row?
The two of them fastened their seat belts.
Cheng Jun said, “If you feel scared, you can tell me.”
Ruan Jiu Jiu: “You too.”
Cheng Jun: “?”
A sudden sense of unease enveloped his body.
Ruan Jiu Jiu pressed her voice and said excitedly, “You know what, I used to be able to play roller coaster a dozen times a day! I’m super, super, super into it!”
Cheng Jun: “……”
Before he could speak, the roller coaster started moving.
Ruan Jiu Jiu excitedly screamed. It was completely different from the crying sound that Cheng Jun was expecting. Even so… it was still considered as screaming. She was super happy to watch them slowly climb to the highest level, with eyes wide open, not to mention being scared, she almost laughed out of excitement.
“Wow–“
The roller coaster violently slides down!
The scenery they passed by at high speed was like a phantom, almost invisible to the naked eye.
Ruan Jiu Jiu’s heart was thumping, which made her relaxed and free, feeling her blood boiling all over her body. She was so excited that her face turned red, and when the roller coaster slowed down, she turned her head and saw Cheng Jun sitting beside her with an expressionless face.
The wind made his hair a little messy, his body seemed a little stiff, and his lips were tightly pressed.
Ruan Jiu Jiu said loudly: “You should not be afraid!”
Cheng Jun: “No ……”
The roller coaster suddenly slid downward again! There was only the wind whistling past Ruan Jiu Jiu’s ears, and she could not hear what Cheng Jun was talking about.
The whole time Ruan Jiu Jiu remained excited until the roller coaster slowly stopped.
“Let’s play it again!”
Cheng Jun: “Do you want to change ……”
“Wow, I’m so happy!”
Boss Cheng has never had the experience of having fun in an amusement park before. It was also until today, sitting on the roller coaster whistling up and down, the cold wind was like a slap in the face, slapping people with pain.
Only at this time did he realize.
From birth to now, he had never discovered that he was, in fact, afraid of heights.
“……”
Next to his ear, Ruan Jiu Jiu laughed like a 200-jin child [1]. In such moments, Cheng Jun remains calm and collected, even if he is aware of his fear of heights, he will not show it.
Cheng Jun glanced at Ruan Jiu Jiu at the corner of his eyes.
Her hair was blown loose by the wind, and her eyes were smiling and squinting, like two curved crescents, shining with a brilliant and dazzling light.
Suddenly his heart skipped a beat.
Cheng Jun thought, ‘Is this because of fear or a fluttering heart?’
He looked at Ruan Jiu Jiu, surprisingly forgetting the whistling wind and rapidly changing scenery, and just looked at her in silence.
Finally, the roller coaster slowly stopped. Ruan Jiu Jiu’s small face was flushed, she rubbed her cheeks, looked at Cheng Jun. Cheng Jun’s face did not show any expression, but his complexion was slightly paler than usual.
“Are you okay?” Ruan Jiu Jiu finally found her conscience, “Do you want to go rest?”
How can he show cowardice at a time like this?
Cheng Jun: “It’s okay.”
“That’s good.”
He slowly stood up, stepped out slowly, and walked down the steps slowly. He was stiff like a robot the whole time.
Ruan Jiu Jiu asked again, “Are you sure you’re okay? You can rest here for a while, and I will go over there and continue playing.”
Boss Cheng insisted he was fine.
Okay.
Ruan Jiu Jiu said, “I’m going to play the pirate ship next! Do you want to come?”
Only
The man sitting in the chair was silent for two seconds and said, “Okay.”
The end of his bravery is ……
Cheng Jun was dragged to the pirate ship like a dead dog.
