Chapter 62: Holding Little Hands
The two chatted without saying a word, and soon arrived outside the ancient city wall.
Rongcheng is an ancient capital, the city center inside the ancient city wall retains the long culture of the ancient capital, and outside the ancient city wall is a more prosperous city center.
Outside the ancient city walls, there is a towering building, a ninety-nine-story tower, although the name has a tower, but it is a commercial building. Almost the entire building around the city is connected together, the shortest one has 18 floors, and then it progresses in a stepped form, the highest has 99 floors, looking down from the sky, just like a pagoda, so it is named the 99-story tower.
Two people directly from the underground garage, take the elevator.
"The fireworks start at twelve o'clock, and there is still nearly an hour to go, whether to go to the top floor or go somewhere else to play."
Ai Hao looked at the time on his watch and asked Ye Yu.
"Why don't you go directly to the top floor and take a place in advance, but there should be no place for it. Ouyang and I have been here once on Christmas and New Year's Day, and every time it was crowded, we couldn't squeeze in. ”
It is said that the ninety-nine-story tower can overlook the entire Rongcheng, and the night view on holidays is more beautiful, and the two of them also saw the Rongcheng tourism opening strategy, and then decided to come to the ninety-nine-story tower, but unfortunately even at night at ordinary times, it is overcrowded, let alone holidays.
The two of them took the elevator from the garage on the third floor of the basement, and the elevator had to stop on almost every floor, and when they reached the first floor, a group of young people poured in, and soon the elevator was crowded, and Ye Yu and Ai Hao were squeezed into the corner.
At the beginning, Ai Hao also used his body to support some space to protect Ye Yu, but as there were more and more people, Ye Yu was almost wrapped in Ai Hao's arms. Ai Hao wore few clothes, and Ye Yu could almost feel his heart beating faster and faster.
Because the elevator was full, it didn't stop halfway, and it was considered to have reached the top floor after a minute.
There are several elevators, and a large number of people are pouring out at the same time, and the top floor is decorated with transparent glass, which is very space, but at the moment it seems extremely crowded.
The two were about to be dispersed by the crowd, and Ye Yu's hand was held by a warm big hand.
"There are too many people, I'm afraid they will be separated in a while."
Ai Hao pulled Ye Yu to his side, and his clenched hand had no intention of letting go.
"Oh, oh!"
The two happened to pass by the open-air garden, a cold wind hit, Ye Yu shrunk her neck, buried her head in the collar, and the hand that was clenched by Ai Hao instantly warmed up, while the other cold little hand could only be retracted into the pocket.
"You're afraid of the cold?"
Feeling Ye Yu's trembling, Ai Hao looked down at the people around her, wearing a cute fluffy pink rabbit hat, wrapped like a ball, all of them were still cold like this, which could only show that she was very afraid of the cold.
"I wasn't afraid of the cold before, but maybe the difference between the north and the south is too big, so I'm afraid of the cold after coming to the south."
Ye Yu shrunk her neck again, she really couldn't stand the cold of this heavy humidity, she was in too much hurry to go out, and forgot to wear gloves. They have already walked several places, whether it is the open-air grandstand or the indoor stand, they can't squeeze in at all.
The further back she went, the fewer people gradually decreased, Ai Hao let go of Ye Yu's hand, went around to her other side, and put her hand into her pocket, sure enough, this hand was still cold.
Ye Yu was stunned, blushed, and looked up at Ai Hao suspiciously.
"Help you cover it, it's not good if you catch a cold, I asked you to come out to play, I can't let you go back sick."
Ai Hao smiled, very gentle, Ye Yu is not a person who is easy to be shy, but she is shy at the moment, and she doesn't know if it's because Ai Hao helped her warm her hands, or because of something else, she didn't feel cold for a moment, and when she entered the room, she still felt a little hot.
After going around for most of the circle, I finally found a place with few people, and there was still half an hour before the fireworks feast began, Ye Yu looked around, trying to find something to play to pass the time, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for the two of them to stand.
"Why don't we go back a bit, there aren't too many people over there, and there's some place to play."
Where the two are now, the shops are either selling snacks, or selling plush toys and flower figures, Ai Hao can see Ye Yu's thoughts at a glance.
"Will there be a queue too?"
Ye Yu only cared about looking at the scenery outside, she didn't pay attention to the shops in the mall at all, and she was always holding Ai Hao's hand, so she was embarrassed to look at him.
You can't get close to the observation deck, but you can still see some beautiful scenery from a distance.
The big screens around the mall show the night view of Rongcheng tonight, with the ninety-nine-story tower as the center, surrounded by a circle of colorful neon lights, which piece together a five-star red flag, as well as the words "Happy New Year" and "2024". From time to time, there will be changes to jump out of the zodiac, panda patterns or something.
Just a glimpse from a distance, it's not beautiful, Ye Yu can't wait to stand directly at the top of the tower and look around the entire Rongcheng directly.
"Let's go over and see, if there are too many people, let's go around again, and we should pass the time."
Ai Hao didn't let go of Ye Yu's hand, the further back he went, the smaller the flow of people became, and it was not easy to disperse, but he still didn't let go, he just took that hand, and he didn't want to let go.
The two walked back a little, the mall space here is larger, there is a small game hall, there are all kinds of game machines, there are two rows of claw machines, and then around, there is a dessert shop, and a few game shops, there are shooting games, there are ring games, no matter where, there are a lot of people, you need to queue.
"Want to play a shooting game?"
Ye Yu's eyes kept looking at the Zephyr Shooting Club, where there were all kinds of shooting games, gifts were hung on the top, and most of the people in line there were couples.
"Well, but there are a lot of people."
Ye Yu nodded on her tiptoes, the onlookers were several times the number of people playing, and there were two people in the game, and the speed at which the staff hung the balloons couldn't catch up with them. On the other side, there are also target shooting, obstacle shooting, and direct shooting gift ropes, which are also available in shopping malls in the city, but Ye Yu is still a little eager to try.
"Do you want to play a game, New Year's event, fifteen yuan and fifty rounds, the middle thirty rounds of the grand prize can be picked at will, the middle ten rounds can lead the Year of the Dragon mascot, if you win forty rounds, you can get the Year of the Dragon commemorative version of the couple bracelet, now there are not many people in line, a few people over there are very fast, just wait for five or six minutes, do you want to play?"
A staff member in camouflage uniform, carrying four or five cute dragon dolls of different shapes, saw the two stop and watch, and came forward to sell.
"No, no, let's go over there and have a look!"
Ye Yu tugged at Ai Hao's sleeve and was about to leave, although she didn't have to wait for a long time, but looking at the crowded crowd, Ye Yu gave up.
"Handsome guy, such a cute baby dragon, don't you really want to get one for your girlfriend?"
The staff persevered, looked at the backs of the two and shouted again, Ye Yu who was shouted by her girlfriend was a little uncomfortable, and her face turned red when she brushed it.
"If you really don't play, you don't have to wait for a long time, if you want to play, we'll go there and wait for a while."
Ai Hao followed Ye Yu and looked at her dotingly.
"No, those prizes are useless, if you win hemp in a while, the boss will definitely not recycle it, let's go catch the doll, at least the boss can recycle it."
Ye Yu let go of Ye Yu's sleeves, jumped into the doll shop, and skillfully scanned the code to get coins.
