Shang Ying's alarm went off which not only awakened Shang Ying himself but also Rui Xing too. Rui Xing looked at her phone to check the time. She realized it was 5am! Why is it so early?
"Shang Ying... Are we going somewhere that needs to travel far?" She asked Shang Ying with a tired and hoarse voice.
"You can say that. Disney Sea is pretty far from our hotel. I'm just going to take a shower first and pack my bag for today," He replied as if he wasn't sleepy at all. His voice was the same. The same in the morning, at night and in the afternoon. There was no difference at all, unlike Rui Xing's.
"Oh OK." After replying him, she yawned.
As he took his shower, Rui Xing picked out a long sleeved dress with leggings to wear, along with a black coat for winter-wear. When Shang Ying got out of the toilet, Rui Xing went in to change her clothes, brush her teeth and wash her face. Rui Xing being the lazy girl she is, doesn't bother to take a shower in the morning. She usually takes a warm bath at night.
"Hey that was fast," he said to her as she came out of the toilet.
"Oh I didn't shower, I'll shower at night."
"Ah I see..."
Rui Xing's phone then vibrated. It was a text message from Li Nang.
"Meet us downstairs for breakfast at 7! It's an order from Wen Xi."
The last sentence cracked her up. Shang Ying looked at her weirdly, the same expression he gave her when he read the part she told him to.
"What? Look!"
He saw the message and realized it was from Li Nang. Why is Li Nang texting her and not Wen Xi herself? The jealous emotions got to him. His hands were shaped into fists. Rui Xing noticed the shape of Shang Ying's hands and she asked, "Are you OK? You seem kind of angry?" His emotion immediately changed upon hearing Rui Xing's words.
"No, it's nothing. I'm fine!"
"If you say so. Oh yeah it's almost 7. Let's head downstairs with our bags?"
"OK, let's go!"
He opened the door for her and they got out of the room. They met Li Nang and Wen Xi while waiting for the lift. The lift opened, Li Nang and Wen Xi walked into the lift while the other duo rushed towards the lift.
"Hey hold the lift!"
"Oh it's the two of them. Take the stairs! Bye!"
The lift closed and the duo sighed. It was only when the lift opened did their sigh turn into a smile.
"You didn't think that we'd actually not let you inside the lift, right?" Wen Xi asked.
"Who knows what's inside your little mind of yours," Rui Xing replied.
"I didn't know you were our friends. I thought you 2 were just mean strangers that don't like to hold the lift open," Shang Ying added on sarcastically.
Rui Xing gave Shang Ying a high-five for saying that.
"What? We held the lift open alright! Now get inside the lift."
They walked inside the lift and went to the 2nd floor, which is where the food was at. It was a buffet breakfast, a variety of dishes to choose from. The food were so delicious that the 4 of them went back for a second servings of the dishes! They spent 1 hour on choosing their food and eating their actual breakfast.
The 4 left the hotel at 8am and took the train to Disney Sea! It's going to be fun fun fun, we're going to ride all the roller coasters there if possible, Rui Xing thought to herself. It was when she realized, are any of them afraid of heights or do anyone of them have motion sickness?
"Guys? Do you have motion sickness or a fear of heights?" Rui Xing asked the 3 of them. They shook their heads and Rui Xing smiled back.
"Why? Don't tell me you want to ride all the roller coasters?" It's like Wen Xi saw right through her. She nodded her head with a grin on her face in response. Wen Xi shook her head. As she did so, Shang Ying whispered to Rui Xing, "It's okay, if they don't want to ride them, I'll ride them all with you." His comment made her heart flutter and there was a grin on her face. Li Nang watched Shang Ying and Rui Xing, the scene in front of him, and started to be envious. Thoughts started to pop inside Li Nang's mind. Does Rui Xing like Shang Ying? Does Rui Xing think he's better than me? What do I have to do to make her like me for me?
As Li Nang was in his own world dazing off, Wen Xi was talking to him. After questioning him on some stuff, he didn't hear or get a response from him. She looked at him and found him staring into blank space.
Wen Xi tapped on his shoulder and said, "Li Nang? Li Nang? Are you listening?"
He immediately snapped out from his thoughts and replied Wen Xi. His response made Rui Xing giggle.
He said, "Huh? Did you say something?" Listening to his answer, Wen Xi looked at him in disappointment.
"Never mind... We're almost reaching there soon," Wen Xi told to the rest of them.
A while later, they reached Disney Sea! Rui Xing really wanted to go for a particular ride so she dragged the 3 of them there to ride with her.
"That was fun!" Rui Xing exclaimed.
"OK, so what's the next ride," Wen Xi asked, ignoring Rui Xing's statement. "Let's take a vote, I'm voting for Raging Spirits!"
"I'm voting for Journey to the center of the Earth,"Rui Xing said.
"Journey to the center of the Earth," the two echoed after Rui Xing.
Wen Xi pouted, it was 3 against her... Obviously the Journey to the center of the Earth won...
"Hey! Don't be sad, we'll do raging spirits after, OK? I've already booked the fast pass online for the 4 of us. We'll ride it at 5pm," Rui Xing told her the reason as to why she didn't agree with her to ride it just yet. She knew that Wen Xi really wanted to ride Raging Spirits so she already booked fast passes for them beforehand to ride it as it usually has a long queue.
When they walked to the queue of Journey to the center of the Earth, they were shocked. The queue was so long that the waiting time was 2 and a 1/2-3 hours! But they still ended up in line because they already walked all the way up to the top where the line was at to queue. Li Nang prepared for long queues so he brought card games like Happy Family and Donkey to play while waiting to take the ride. Other than playing card games, they also played the phone monopoly on Li Nang's phone. Wen Xi and Rui Xing got hungry in between a Donkey game, so Lin Nang and Shang Ying volunteered to go and buy some food from the mini food stalls down the queue.
Li Nang and Shang Ying walked down together. Li Nang said to Shang Ying, "Hey, I know you like Rui Xing, but the person that will be together with her will not be you, it'll be me." "Let's see," Shang Ying replied coldly.
Li Nang bought some popcorn and Shang Ying bought nuggets. They walked back up to see which Rui Xing would eat first.
"Food is here," Wen Xi said as she stared at the food in the duo's hands.
The duo placed the plate of food on the floor. As Rui Xing stretched out her hand, the duo stared at her hand to see the result. Rui Xing reached for a piece of nugget, because Rui Xing doesn't like popcorn. Wen Xi munched on the popcorn, letting Rui Xing have all the nuggets.
Before they finished, they asked the 2, "Do you want any?" The girls were actually hoping that they would say no, they want the food all to themselves. As hoped for, they said no. They quickly finished up their food and soon enough, it was their turn to get on the ride.
Oh no! What if I throw up because I ate the nuggets, Rui Xing thought silently, starting to feel anxious. She tried to calm herself down. Shang Ying, who was sitting next to her in the ride noticed her nervous expression and said, "Don't be scared. If you're scared, I'd be even more scared than I already am..." She nodded her head, held his hand and replied, "Let's be scared together, hand in hand." He smiled back at her as he felt his nervousness disappear after what Rui Xing did.
Li Nang saw what the two holding hands from behind and started to get even more jealous than before. Wen Xi noticed, and asked Li Nang, "Do you, perhaps, like Rui Xing?" And, he immediately nodded his head. Wen Xi felt like her heart broke into shards after seeing his reaction because she likes Lin Nang. She wanted him to be happy so she said, "I'll hope two of you will be together...". He said, "I hope so too..."
