Chapter 60
Looking at the pirate ship that swayed back and forth to mid-air height not far away, my blood boiled with excitement. I remember the first time I saw it on TV, I was still in elementary school. Fascinated by its novelty and coolness, I wishfully decided that it was the most exciting game in the world. The next day, I was excited to show off this amazing discovery to my classmates, not wanting to be preempted by my classmates who had been to the amusement park. It turned out that the amusement park had recently introduced roller coasters, which still hold the top spot among the most exciting rides to this day, and the pirate ship had to take a back seat. With the advent of maneuvering games such as magic flying carpets, vertical lifts, and light-speed flight, pirate ships have lost their status as amusement park aces and the center of their promotional posters. Even so, I've always had an inseparable attachment to pirate ships. The reason for this can be traced back to the naïve decision I made in private with a few classmates in elementary school. At the time, we thought it was a great thing to dare to ride a pirate ship, and we all agreed that it was a sign of bravery. Naturally, I don't want to admit that I don't have the guts, but the reality doesn't allow it, so I haven't been able to take action until I graduate. After graduating from elementary school, everyone went their separate ways, and the contact gradually decreased, and after I entered high school, there were only a handful of elementary school classmates who still kept in touch with me. Even though no one cared, I still remember the Haikou I boasted about that day, and I remember that one day I will fulfill the promise I made. I don't know when I stopped trying to prove to them that I had the courage to fly on a pirate ship. The reason why I never forget this is purely because I want to realize my childhood vision and give a satisfactory explanation to my childhood self.
Life has made me develop the habit of being budget-conscious. The moment I got the package, I couldn't help but think about how to make the most of it. For example, if you enter the park early in the morning and play all day, you can make the most of it. But I can imagine that I can't let Jing Yehang go alone to ride those exciting rides in order to keep my ticket. Especially when I don't know if he is afraid of heights, I can't be so selfish.
"Do you have any games you'd like to play?" The incessant screams of the pirate ship's passengers made my heart beat faster and I wanted to try it.
"Carousel......" Jing Yehang blurted out his debut.
Hearing this unexpected answer, I was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't expect it...... You like to play such fantastic games...... Haha......"
"No......" Jing Yehang scratched his unkempt hair in embarrassment, and whispered in a shy tone, "My mother has brought me here to play a few times...... I want to see if it's still ...... the same as it used to be."
"Ah...... I'm sorry......" I quickly put away my smile, but I felt guilty and sad. I didn't expect the merry-go-round to be so important to Jing Yehang, and I didn't have the heart to make fun of him......
"Nothing to apologize for......" Jing Yehang chuckled.
"Let's go on the merry-go-round, then...... Let me look at the map...... "I hurriedly unfolded the map of the amusement park, and was about to look for the location of the merry-go-round horse against the dense dots on it, not wanting to be stopped by Jing Yehang's outstretched hand.
"Put it away, I know the way." Jing Yehang smiled at me, looking at me with ease. "It's about eight hundred meters along this road, and it's not far from the pirate ship."
"Have you ever played pirate ship?" I looked at Jing Yehang in amazement, unable to imagine what he would look like on a pirate ship.
"No...... There weren't any pirate ships when she brought me here...... Afterward...... I've never been here again......" Jing Yehang said intermittently.
"Then how do you know that the merry-go-round is near the pirate ship?" I asked, staring at him quizzically.
“…… Guess ......" Jing Yehang hesitated for a while, muttered a sentence and hurried away.
Looking at his panicked back, I secretly guessed that maybe he didn't take coming to the amusement park with me as seriously as I thought.
Considering that it is not advisable to go to school too late on a cloudy day, on the way to the merry-go-round, I told Jing Yehang that I wanted to collect five photos of the Ferris wheel to change the keychain, and suggested that he should line up to ride the Ferris wheel as soon as possible, so as not to delay his return home.
Jing Yehang asked about the keychain with great interest, and when he learned that it was a keychain in the shape of the mascot of the amusement park, he smiled heartily. "Sounds fun, I want a ...... too"
"That'...... I'll take a few more photos and send them to you, and I'll go to the front desk to change them when you're free, right? "I thought that it might not be in line with the rules of the amusement park, but I couldn't bear to let him down in the face of the anticipation of the night flight. If that doesn't work, I'll give him the keychain I changed today, and I'll have to do it again later. Friends are more important to me than just a keychain.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to leave, I can shoot it myself." Jing Yehang said with a leisurely face.
I hurriedly lowered my head, for fear that he would find out that my cheeks were hot from being overjoyed. Whatever he was staying for, it didn't stop me from being happy, because he was going to be spending hours with me in the amusement park.
"Since we're not in a hurry, let's play all the games recommended in the brochure!" I said gleefully.
"Okay!" Jing Yehang nodded, smiling happily.
