Ji Chen took Li Xuan and sat on the bus. Ji Chen sat on the outside, while Li Xuan sat on the inside near the window.
The bus stopped at the next station, and a man got on. He was probably around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a sturdy build, fair skin, deep-set eyes, and a prominent nose. He was the type of "little fresh meat" (good-looking young man).
Ji Chen was somewhat of a womanizer. Her eyes were fixed on that man, and she even swallowed hard.
Seeing this, Li Xuan felt a pang of jealousy. He covered Ji Chen's eyes with one hand, pressing his fingers tightly together so that not even a sliver of light could get through.
Ji Chen reached out to pull Li Xuan's hand away, but Li Xuan's hand seemed to be nailed in place. No matter how hard Ji Chen tugged, it didn't move at all.
"Let go of me!"
"No!" Li Xuan's arrogant little temper flared up again.
Then he added, "A woman like you, in ancient times, would be considered unfaithful and would be drowned in a pig cage!"
"But you're not even my boyfriend yet! I just want to take a look!" Ji Chen pleaded slightly.
"Not even one look." Li Xuan's attitude was firm.
"You're so presumptuous even during the internship. Be careful, or I'll give you a bad review and reject you!" Ji Chen threatened Li Xuan.
"So what if it's an internship? That guy isn't even an intern!"
"Are you jealous? Hehe!" Ji Chen grinned.
"So what if I am? I'm jealous!"
Ji Chen laughed even more wildly.
"Okay, since someone admits they're jealous, then I won't look anymore." Ji Chen gave in.
Only then did Li Xuan slowly remove his hand.
Ji Chen turned to look at Li Xuan. She was really curious to know what this usually arrogant and overbearing young master looked like when he was jealous.
Li Xuan also looked at her. Their eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze.
Ji Chen looked into Li Xuan's eyes, and there was nothing but tenderness in them. Could it be that she had captured such a nearly perfect person? She stared at Li Xuan with an inquiring look.
"…We have arrived at the station. Passengers who want to get off, please take your belongings and prepare to get off." The bus stopped at the entrance of an amusement park.
Only then did Ji Chen come to her senses. She shook her head, grabbed Li Xuan, and got off the bus.
Ji Chen touched her face. It was burning hot. She realized that her face must be red.
So she fanned the air in front of her with her hand, trying to cool down quickly.
But Li Xuan smirked and teased Ji Chen, "If my lady hasn't had enough of looking, she can always look at her husband some more."
Ji Chen's face became even redder. It seemed as if it was so red that blood might seep out and so hot that smoke might rise.
"Who wants to look at you? There's nothing to see!" Ji Chen said as she ran in front of Li Xuan and walked away with her back to him.
"My lady seems to be shy. Well, in the future, I'll let my lady look at me all the time, and she'll get used to it."
Li Xuan shouted at Ji Chen's back and kept letting out that somewhat teasing laughter.
Ji Chen stopped, turned around, and walked towards Li Xuan. She stood on tiptoe and reached out to pinch Li Xuan's ear. But as soon as she touched it, she lost her balance and let go. Ji Chen reached out again, but still couldn't reach it. She was a bit disappointed and was about to retract her hand.
"Be gentle, my lady. In the future, everything I have is yours. Don't break your own things!"
Li Xuan said affectionately. Then he lowered his head and brought his ear close to Ji Chen's fingers. He pointed at his ear, motioning for Ji Chen to pinch it.
But Ji Chen turned her head away in embarrassment. From behind came a voice, "Thank you, my lady, for not pinching me! Your husband has no way to repay you, so he can only offer his body as payment!"
Ji Chen ignored him. She knew that no matter what, she couldn't outwit this rascal. So she walked straight towards the ticket counter of the amusement park.
When Ji Chen squeezed out of the crowd holding two tickets, she saw that Li Xuan had two ice creams in his hands.
She ran up to Li Xuan like a child and smiled, saying, "How did you know I like matcha-flavored ice cream!"
"What my lady likes, of course her husband knows all about it!"
"Who's your lady? Don't keep calling me 'lady'. I'm not your lady!"
Ji Chen raised her chin and snatched the ice cream from Li Xuan's hand. Then she added, "You say you know everything. Let me test you!"
"Okay, my dear wife!"
"You!" Ji Chen stretched out her finger and pointed at Li Xuan.
"Forget it. The first question: What's my favorite dish?"
"Pork congee with century eggs, fried dough sticks, and mashed potato slices that are well-cooked." Li Xuan looked at Ji Chen with a confident expression.
"You guessed right. The next question: When's my birthday?"
"Is my dear wife giving me an easy question on purpose to give me points? Hehe, it's July 16th."
"This is indeed too easy. Then, who's my favorite cartoon character?"
"Tim, the one with a temper in the Minions."
"You've even watched that? Admit it, you're actually a fake gentleman, and in fact, your heart is still in childhood, and you have some kind of mental deficiency, right?"
"Whatever my dear wife likes, of course her husband wants to love it too. If my dear wife wants to be someone with a 'mental deficiency', then her husband will accompany her." Li Xuan leaned close to Ji Chen, bent down, and whispered in her ear.
Ji Chen immediately took two steps back and changed the subject, "Let's go in quickly. I want to play!"
"Okay!" Li Xuan followed Ji Chen into the amusement park with a loving expression on his face.
The amusement park was huge, with all kinds of amusement facilities. The decoration style of the park was in a fairy tale theme. Every few steps, you could see characters from animations and fairy tales.
Ji Chen stopped in front of a sculpture of three Minions going on an adventure. She tugged at Li Xuan's sleeve and said expectantly, "Take a photo for me, take a photo for me. These three Minions must be in the frame!"
Li Xuan took Ji Chen's phone, then went to the nearby snack shop and bought a selfie stick. When he came back, he put one arm around Ji Chen's shoulder and pressed Ji Chen's head against his shoulder. With the other hand, he extended the selfie stick and aimed it at themselves.
"Click—" The photo was taken.
"Show it to me quickly!" Ji Chen reached out to grab the phone, but Li Xuan held the phone up high.
"Kiss me, and I'll give it to you!"
"I won't!" Ji Chen was still trying her best to reach for the phone, but unfortunately, she felt that her height was too short at this moment. Even when she jumped up, she couldn't even touch the phone.
"Alas, well, give me two minutes, and I'll give it back to you!"
"What are you going to do?" Ji Chen put her outstretched hand down and stared angrily at the phone.
Li Xuan took the phone, opened the Moments app, added a caption with the photo, typed two words "Official Announcement", and then posted it. Only then did he hand the phone to Ji Chen.
As soon as Ji Chen saw it, she immediately widened her eyes and looked at Li Xuan.
Ji Chen crossed her arms and looked down at Li Xuan with an arrogant expression, saying, "I did this to let everyone know that you're mine, so that no sneaky people will have ideas about you!"
"Do you think I won't delete it?"
"Oh? Is my dear wife flirting with others behind my back and feeling guilty?"
"How could that be? I, Ji Chen, am definitely not that kind of person!" Ji Chen looked at Li Xuan firmly.
"Then what are you afraid of?"
"Who said I'm afraid? I won't delete it. From now on, you're mine! Give me your phone!"
"What do you want to do?" Li Xuan raised his lips and smiled. He knew that the 激将法 (method of goading) worked very well on this girl.
"It's only polite to reciprocate. Hand it over quickly!" Ji Chen said as she stretched out her hand in front of Li Xuan.
So Li Xuan took out the phone that Ji Chen had given him so that he could come whenever she called and handed it to Ji Chen.
"What's the password?"
"0716520"
"Oh!" Ji Chen focused on entering the password.
Li Xuan sighed helplessly and reported the password again, "0716520"
"Come on, I know it. I've already logged in!" Ji Chen turned around impatiently.
Li Xuan sighed and thought that his wife was really a straightforward girl!
Ji Chen used her own phone to send the photo to Li Xuan and then posted it on Moments in the same way, making an official announcement.
But when she saw that there was only herself in Li Xuan's friend list, Ji Chen held the phone and questioned Li Xuan, "Where are the others? Where did everyone go?"
Li Xuan looked into Ji Chen's eyes and said sincerely, "Whether it's in my heart, in my eyes, or on my phone, the only person within my sight can be you, just you!"
Ji Chen pushed Li Xuan away shyly and said stubbornly, "Who knows if you have another phone!"
Then she turned around and didn't give Li Xuan a chance to explain. She walked towards the amusement park map not far away.
Her finger slid back and forth on the map, and finally stopped at a spot called "Roller Coaster". Then she smirked and said, "This is it!"
Ji Chen dragged Li Xuan to the queue at the roller coaster station.
"I'll show you what a heroic woman is. Tremble, you coward!" Ji Chen said triumphantly as she turned to face Li Xuan.
There were three couples in front of them in the queue, and each couple was very affectionate. One man was hugging the woman from behind. One woman was feeding snacks into the man's mouth. The other couple even kissed in public.
Li Xuan reached out and turned Ji Chen's head around. Ji Chen's whole body turned half a circle and stopped, facing those embarrassing scenes.
She suddenly remembered that the amusement park was not only a paradise for children but also a perfect place for couples to show their affection. She put her hand on her forehead, realizing that she had really miscalculated.
But Li Xuan added fuel to the fire. He bent down and whispered in Ji Chen's ear, acting coquettishly, "I want that too!"
Ji Chen shuddered, and her ears turned red all the way to her cheeks.
"What do you want? It's not suitable for children. Don't look and don't listen!" Ji Chen quickly covered Li Xuan's eyes with her hand.
Li Xuan easily removed Ji Chen's hand and said softly, "Your husband is already an adult. It's okay!"
"What's okay? Close your eyes!" Ji Chen shouted at Li Xuan nervously.
Li Xuan straightened up, crossed his arms, and said affectionately, "My dear wife, we can't lose!"
Then he picked Ji Chen up and placed her on the railing, holding her firmly.
"What are you doing? Put me down quickly!" Ji Chen was a bit anxious.
"My neck is a bit sore. This way, it won't be tiring to talk to you!"
"You!" Ji Chen pointed at Li Xuan like an angry little wife.
Li Xuan loosened his hands a bit, and Ji Chen lost her balance. She immediately wrapped her arms around Li Xuan's neck and held onto him tightly.
"What are you doing? Hold me quickly!"
"No, I want it like this!" Li Xuan had a look of triumph on his face as if his scheme had succeeded.
Ji Chen also held onto Li Xuan tightly and didn't dare to let go, for fear that she would fall off.
A staff member nearby shouted at Li Xuan and Ji Chen, "What are you two doing sitting on the railing? Get down quickly!"
Li Xuan then reluctantly picked Ji Chen up and put her down. As soon as Ji Chen got down, she stepped on Li Xuan's shoe.
"You can come in now!" the staff member shouted again.
Ji Chen quickly ran in and chose a seat on the left side of the front of the roller coaster. Li Xuan also sat down on the right side.
Ji Chen tugged at the seat belt on the left but couldn't pull it.
Li Xuan then leaned over to help Ji Chen pull the seat belt.
"What are you doing?" Ji Chen was so scared that she immediately leaned to the left.
Li Xuan pulled out the seat belt, waved it in front of Ji Chen's eyes, and then picked up the other side of the seat belt and fastened it.
Ji Chen awkwardly moved back to her original position slowly. She also said stubbornly, "Who told you not to say anything before doing it!"
"It's my fault. It's not your fault!" Li Xuan replied with a loving expression.
After all the equipment was checked, the staff member walked into the operation room and turned on the switch.
The roller coaster first slowly rose to the top and then stopped.
"Are you scared? Hehe! There's more exciting stuff to come!" Ji Chen smirked.
