Chapter 20: Playground
"......" The boy was stunned again, and said with some tears and laughter: "You shouldn't be moved by me to cry again, right?" β
"......" Cheng Yelan's expression froze, who cried bitterly for him? Still "again"? She resisted the urge to protest and continued to look at him pitifully, "I just wanted to hug you." β
This time, the boy smiled lightly, and then calmly spread his hand slightly and turned to her, "Then hug it." β
The two were now sitting side by side on the sofa, still a little distance from each other, Cheng Yelan moved closer to him, reached out and hugged his waist tightly, and leaned his head on his shoulder.
This time the posture felt very different from the standing hug, as if it was closer to her, Cheng Yelan couldn't help but rub it on the boy's shoulder, her heart was so sweet that Song Qiguang's hand took her shoulder very gently, and did not resist letting her do this kind of behavior that took advantage of him even more.
Cheng Yelan liked to hold him like this, and she was really reluctant to part for a while, but she couldn't show it too obviously, so she had to hug him for a moment and then let go of her hand and sit back in her original position, hanging her head and not daring to look at him, she thought that her face must be very red now.
Song Qiguang didn't care, looked at her gently, and said, "Let's sit for a while and set off, today is Sunday, there should be more people, and you don't have to queue up if you go early." β
Cheng Yelan still blushed and didn't look at him, just nodded.
The time when the two arrived at the playground was about half past nine, and there were only three people queuing up at the door at this time, Song Qiguang stood at the back of the line in a good mood, and Cheng Yelan stood beside him.
The weather was not particularly good today, there was still deep snow on the grass under the walls of the playground, the cold wind that blew from time to time always ruffled the girl's hair, the sun always appeared in the clouds, and the sky was a very deep blue.
Soon it was the turn of the two, Song Qiguang handed out two hundred-yuan bills at the ticket office, and exchanged them for two small bags, Cheng Yelan took it and took a look, only to see that there were coins the size of a dime, but she was very ashamed, she really didn't know what these coins were for.
But I still put the bag in the bag as I made a very clear appearance, I didn't want to ask the people around her, she thought that someone would always tell her when she thought it should be used, but when she walked into the playground a few meters away, the boy next to her asked her casually: "By the way, do you remember the last time you came to the playground?" β
"......" Cheng Yelan was a little embarrassed, last time? It seemed to go back to junior high school, and as she grew older, she didn't think about coming to this kind of place that children like, and the playground she remembered was still what she saw in her hometown many years ago, far less spacious than the current one.
I calmly told the boy the truth, and the guy laughed wildly, "Oh, how much fun will your life lack......"
Cheng Yelan was so angry, he came to such a naΓ―ve place when he was such an adult, and he even talked about her?
After finally calming down, Song Qiguang shook his coin bag and looked at the girl with a sympathetic expression: "Then do you know what this is for?" β
Cheng Yelan squinted at him and replied gloomily, "I don't know." β
This time, the boy happily explained: "One coin in this is equivalent to five yuan, and you can put a considerable amount of coins into the coin slot for how much money you want to play the game." So, what do you want to play first? β
Cheng Yelan thought about his favorite one when he was in the playground many years ago, and although he didn't know if he would be laughed at, he said: "Carousel." β
The boy nodded approvingly, "Yes, I like it too, so let's go play with that one first, and then I'll take you to play with some of the ones that should have been built after you went to high school." β
After saying that, he led the way with a wicked smile, and Cheng Yelan gritted his teeth and followed behind him.
There are a lot of people who come to the playground today, and at this time, Cheng Yelan has seen people waiting outside many facilities, some of which she is more familiar with, such as roller coasters, Ferris wheels and Feitan, and a few have indeed not seen them. The interior of the playground is mostly shallow and narrow paths, flanked by thick trees, but they are even more covered in silver during the season.
After walking for about ten minutes, I came to the location of the merry-go-round, which seemed to be a very popular game, and there were already some people standing outside, and most of them were Cheng Yelan's age.
She looked at the horses with some bewilderment, and was surprised to find that they were not the small, toy-like horses she had seen before, but tall horses the size of real horses, each one of them was bright and alive, and they spun to the accompaniment of music, and slowly bumped up and down, as if they were really galloping on the prairie.
She wondered how the merry-go-round had become like this now. Doesn't the kind of children play with anymore? Song Qiguang saw her expression and said to her: "This kind of horse is an adult version, and the child version is elsewhere, well, do you know what this kind of horse has an alias?" He blinked mysteriously.
Cheng Yelan naturally shook his head, and Song Qiguang couldn't help but smile and introduced: "It's also called 'couple horse', you look at it," he gestured to the rotating wooden horse, "This game has rules that a single person can't play, you have to be a couple." β
Cheng Yelan looked at the galloping horses in surprise, only then did she realize that she hadn't noticed that there were almost a combination of a man and a woman, and only a few pairs were two girls, she couldn't help but ask the people around her: "This, should all these people be lovers." β
Song Qiguang laughed again, but this time he quickly held back, he cleared his throat and tried his best to control his laughter and said: "Naturally not, friends are also okay, you see that the two girls are, there are often people who like to joke with their friends of the opposite sex in couples, and let people take a picture of them or something." β
It can be seen that he only thinks it is funny for him to have special rules for couple horses, but Cheng Yelan can't help but feel a little nervous, the two people on each horse seem to be very intimate, she thinks that she has to make such a pose with the people around her, and she really can't control the temperature on her face.
She didn't know if the boy would care if they were also sitting on the couple like a couple, and she couldn't even tell how she wanted him to feel......
Soon the merry-go-round slowly stopped, and when Song Qiguang took the lead in queuing up to put coins, he specially asked Cheng Yelan: "Do you like to sit in the front or in the back?" β
