Two hearts, so close at this moment.
The softer one was, the more fearful.
Holding hands.
The two, stirred by the emotions of the playground, seemed, for a moment, to have regained the joy of childhood.
They became lively, cheerful, even a little adorable.
It seemed as if the young man had already prepared enough strategies.
The well-prepared young man took Su Qing on a ride on the carousel. Strangely, Jiang Sui actually felt a bit dizzy. His face paled as he gazed at Su Qing's cheerful smile.
"Qing Qing, I actually feel dizzy on the carousel..."
The young man's eyes shone with displeasure.
He wanted to ride the carousel again out of spite to prove himself, but Su Qing refused.
"Qing Qing, do you think I'm useless?"
Jiang Sui seemed to have noticed the fat kid just now, as if he was laughing at him.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Sui would be so childish at the amusement park. Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled.
"No, you're overthinking it. It's not true."
She waved her hand, as if afraid the boy wouldn't believe her.
"That's no use. Let's play again." The boy seemed unconvinced and insisted on playing again.
But fate had the same outcome as last time. The boy's face was pale, and he seemed to be shaky. He gritted his teeth and held on.
"Jiang Sui, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to vomit? I'll get you some water."
Su Qing was a little anxious. She should have grabbed him and stopped him.
Jiang Sui shook his head, his eyes red from dry heaving. "Qing Qing, I'm fine. I just feel a little dizzy."
This was the first time he'd felt this way, and his carousel ride with Su Qing was aborted.
"Then let's not ride the carousel, okay? We can go ride something else."
Su Qing looked at Jiang Sui with suspicion. If he felt dizzy even on the carousel, then he probably wouldn't be able to ride anything else.
While rubbing Jiang Sui's back, Su Qing glanced at the strategy guide in her hand.
"Qing Qing, I'm fine. I can play anything. I want to play with you, just once."
His attitude was always so firm.
"Jiang Sui, you like this then you're making me angry."
Su Qing stopped backing down. The boy's discomfort made her feel a little uncomfortable, too. The little bit of joy she'd had seemed to have dissipated.
Jiang Sui clenched his fingers together. He seemed to have a vague idea of why he couldn't play, but he suppressed all his emotions.
"Qing Qing, I'm really fine. I'll just drink some water. I have some water in my bag."
He handed the backpack to Su Qing, who pulled out a bottle of water. She unscrewed the bottle and handed it to Jiang Sui, revealing a thermos and a bottle of vitamins.
"Qing Qing, give me two of those vitamins."
The boy's voice was low. Without giving it a second thought, Su Qing unscrewed the bottle, took out two, and handed them to him.
After a while, the dizziness subsided considerably.
Jiang Sui's face wasn't quite as pale anymore; it looked a bit radiant.
"Look, I'm fine now, I'm just a little out of sorts. Qing Qing, how could I be weaker than you?"
"I am your knight, and I will always protect the Princess!"
The young man patted his chest with a solemn vow, his emotions seemingly spilling out too quickly, dazzlingly so.
Su Qing, however, was still a little worried, and said to Jiang Sui.
"Let's go play the bumper cars first, okay... I want to go." Su Qing pointed to where a group of kids were noisily queuing...
She spoke carefully, not wanting the boy to see that she had chosen the most gentle option. But how could someone as smart as Jiang Sui not noticed it?
But seeing Su Qing's expression, Jiang Sui nodded.
"Qing Qing, you picked the bumper cars now. I'll pick the next ride."
Su Qing looked at Jiang Sui, hesitated for half a second, then nodded. "Okay."
Inside the bumper car arena, the boy was immediately cornered by a group of brats. He didn't come out until the time was up, practically shutting himself in the entire ride.
Su Qing couldn't help but smile.
"Qing Qing, you and those fat kids are bullying me together."
The boy looked resentful.
"No... I just tried to save you, but I couldn't..."
Those kids seemed to be experts at the bumper cars, each one more skilled than the last. Su Qing was forced to be slammed around the course the entire time, with no chance to steer herself.
However, for a young man who excelled in every way, his rare moment of frustration made Su Qing think Jiang Sui had actually become adorable.
Jiang Sui pouted.
"Qing Qing bullied me, so now it's my turn to choose. I want to ride the roller coaster."
Su Qing...
"Or may be the big pendulum..."
The boy's words were more explosive than the last. Su Qing stared at his handsome face, racking her brains for words to refuse, but then she agreed.
The roller coaster was truly thrilling.
Su Qing screamed the entire time.
The combination of fear and excitement made one's mind feel completely relaxed for a moment.
Jiang Sui held her fingers tightly against the seatbelt. When they reached the highest point of the roller coaster, they smiled at each other.
"Su Qing, I like you. I really like you!"
The young man's roar, soaring into the air, stunned everyone in the roller coaster.
In that moment, Su Qing was also stunned.
Even after she got off the roller coaster, Su Qing remained unaware. Upon exiting, all looked at her with envy, making her feel incredibly embarrassed.
However, no matter how embarrassed she felt, she couldn't change the fact that the young man was holding her finger.
"Qing Qing, look, am I truly amazing?"
The boy's sparkling eyes, perhaps finally proving himself, now gazed intently at Su Qing.
His eyes were filled with Su Qing.
Su Qing could clearly see herself reflected in Jiang Sui's pupils, and the boy's lips curled into a charming smile.
"Jiang Sui, in my heart, you've always been incredibly powerful."
Her words were sincere, her eyes pure and unadulterated.
Su Qing had seen so much of the boy's brilliance, but she'd rarely seen him display such a childish side, which was all the more pleasing.
Su Qing squeezed Jiang Sui's fingers.
"Jiang Sui, I like you, too."
Su Qing pursed her lips, her voice soft, as if in response. But the sound still resonated in Jiang Sui's ear, blossoming brilliantly and lingering for a long time.
"Qing Qing, thank you."
He couldn't help but squeeze Su Qing's fingertips back.
