Chapter 1261: Chapter 1250: Zhonghai Amusement Park
Ning Fan had fallen asleep for a while in the car, and then woke up to see Xu Xiaoqing watching a drama beside him.
Xu Xiaoqing was watching the drama intently, unaware that Ning Fan had awakened. Her mind was deeply immersed in the storyline.
“What are you watching?” Ning Fan suddenly spoke.
Xu Xiaoqing, engrossed in her drama, was startled by Ning Fan’s voice and let out a scream.
After the scream, she noticed the glances from classmates around her, her face turned red with embarrassment, wishing she could disappear into a hole.
“What are you doing!” Xu Xiaoqing turned around, her expressive eyes filled with anger as she glared at Ning Fan, saying irritably, “How dare you scare me! I’ll definitely report you to my sister when I get back!”
“Oh, don’t.” Ning Fan, who was previously snickering, immediately lost his smile upon hearing Xu Xiaoqing mention reporting to Xu Xiaojie, and he said with a begrudging look, “I was wrong, okay?”
“Hmph, that’s more like it!” Xu Xiaoqing snorted haughtily upon seeing Ning Fan apologize, ignoring him and turning back to watch her drama.
Ning Fan, bored, rested against Xu Xiaoqing’s shoulder and drifted off to sleep…
Time passed quickly, and it wasn’t long before they arrived at Zhonghai Amusement Park.
It was nighttime, the peak visiting hours, when couples and friends were free; thus, they all took this time to visit the amusement park for a fun break from the day’s stress.
Ning Fan got off the car, stretched lazily, and let out a long breath. Having been busy at work all day, he felt exhausted, but the nap in the car revitalized him.
He now felt energized all over.
“Why does your school go to the amusement park for an autumn outing?” Ning Fan turned to Xu Xiaoqing standing next to him and asked.
In Ning Fan’s impression, wouldn’t autumn outings typically involve taking things to the countryside and enjoying the beauty of nature?
Xu Xiaoqing shook her head and said, “This autumn outing activity was voted on by everyone; besides, there’s nothing wrong with coming to the amusement park!”
As she spoke, Xu Xiaoqing looked around at the bustling amusement park with wide eyes.
The park was packed with people, bustling and lively. Based on Ning Fan’s estimate, it seemed improbable to play any attractions without waiting for one or two hours.
Ning Fan sighed helplessly; the amusement park didn’t interest him much.
Amusement parks were usually about thrilling entertainment rides, but as Huaxia’s Captain Nine and Phantom Asura, would he be afraid of such attractions?
Frankly speaking, Ning Fan’s past experiences were hundreds of times more thrilling than these rides!
These pretend play attractions simply couldn’t pique Ning Fan’s interest.
However, Ning Fan wasn’t there for himself; his main purpose was accompanying Xu Xiaoqing.
“What do you want to do first?” Ning Fan asked Xu Xiaoqing, as he had no interest in the attractions anyway and decided to let Xu Xiaoqing choose.
After arriving at the amusement park, everyone received their tickets and dispersed in pairs to enjoy various attractions, so Ning Fan and Xu Xiaoqing were together without any unrelated disturbances.
“Hmm…” Xu Xiaoqing puckered her lips, her eyes scanning the park map in her hand as she contemplated which ride to try.
Ning Fan didn’t rush her. He stood quietly beside her, waiting for her decision.
“Let’s try the closest one first.” Xu Xiaoqing couldn’t make a decision after thinking for a while, so she reluctantly chose the nearest attraction—the Pirate Ship.
Ning Fan naturally had no objections and nodded, saying, “Okay, let’s go.”
“Let’s go, let’s go! It’s been so long since I’ve come to an amusement park!” Xu Xiaoqing excitedly held Ning Fan’s hand.
Ning Fan curiously asked, “Why? Don’t you usually visit amusement parks?”
“I didn’t have anyone to go with,” Xu Xiaoqing pouted, feeling a bit aggrieved.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fan realized that Xu Xiaoqing’s father and sister were often busy, leaving them no time to accompany her to the amusement park.
“Let’s go try the Pirate Ship first,” Ning Fan said with a smile.
Xu Xiaoqing’s smile returned as she nodded, leading Ning Fan towards the Pirate Ship.
The Pirate Ship was quite a popular attraction, and there was a long line of people waiting ahead of it.
Ning Fan looked at the endless queue, feeling overwhelmed, “Such a long line! How long are we going to wait?”
Despite his complaints, Ning Fan stood obediently at the end of the line, accompanying Xu Xiaoqing to queue.
Among the queue were many students from Zhonghai University, shocked to see the school beauty Xu Xiaoqing laughing and chatting with a stranger. Their eyes were fixated.
They all wished to take Ning Fan’s place next to Xu Xiaoqing, but it was merely a fantasy.
Time slipped away during Ning Fan and Xu Xiaoqing’s conversation, and the line moved slowly forward.
Soon, it was nearly Ning Fan and Xu Xiaoqing’s turn. Xu Xiaoqing’s eyes sparkled with excitement, eager to get on the Pirate Ship.
Finally, the violently swaying Pirate Ship stopped, and the screams of visitors faded. This wave of customers was finished, and it was time for the next round!
Watching the guests board the ride, Xu Xiaoqing excitedly tugged Ning Fan’s sleeve, “It’s almost our turn! Finally, it’s almost our turn!”
Ning Fan said helplessly, “Missy, my clothes are almost getting stretched out!”
Xu Xiaoqing snorted arrogantly and said, “Hmph! I wouldn’t be pulling someone else’s clothes!”
To this, Ning Fan could only manage a wry smile.
The Pirate Ship gradually filled up, leaving just two seats, and Ning Fan and Xu Xiaoqing stood at the front of the queue, the last pair for this batch.
“Quickly, let’s board!” Xu Xiaoqing eagerly said, moving towards the Pirate Ship, while Ning Fan closely followed her, both heading onto the attraction together.
