Chapter 195: Chapter 194: The Most Exciting Gift

He Qiya was having a great time by herself.

No matter what He Qiya did, as long as she turned around, she could always see Su Mu’s figure.

This made He Qiya feel very secure inside.

After trying out all the rides that Su Mu deemed childish, He Qiya gradually let loose.

He Qiya’s character wasn’t just about being icy abroad.

Years alone in a foreign land had also made He Qiya very brave.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have developed a liking for amateur racing, a sport that required a lot of courage.

"Su Mu, come and play this with me," she said.

"This roller coaster is really thrilling, not childish at all."

"Besides, you can’t just watch me play all the time without trying anything yourself, right?"

He Qiya could understand why Su Mu might not have liked the previous amusement rides.

But now it was different, as they had walked into the thrill ride zone.

He Qiya felt that these should be more suitable for Su Mu, right?

Su Mu glanced at the roller coaster.

The so-called roller coaster didn’t actually go through tall mountains.

Huadong City is flat, with no mountains to provide a path for such an amusement ride.

The roller coaster in the amusement park had a very long slope and at first glance, it was twisty and steep.

Especially that big loop in the middle, that was the roller coaster’s highlight.

The big loop stood baldly in mid-air, and Su Mu estimated it to be more than twenty meters high.

This amusement ride involved sitting in the roller coaster cars, which seemed to fit two people per car.

The cars were connected to each other using hooks, looking like a small train.

Su Mu had ridden roller coasters before and thought they were somewhat thrilling.

Recalling the last time he had ridden a roller coaster, that electrifying, thrilling, but safe rush, Su Mu actually went along with He Qiya.

Sharing a car, Su Mu naturally ended up in the same one as He Qiya.

However, Su Mu expressed a wish for something different.

"Dare to take the very last car?" he asked.

Su Mu noticed that He Qiya was braver than most girls, so he proposed the challenge.

The last car on the roller coaster is the most thrilling gift for the bravest riders.

Because the sensation of falling is most intense at the end of the roller coaster.

That’s physics, something a top student like Su Mu understood very well.

At its highest point, the last car’s speed exceeds that of the front cars due to gravity acting on the mass center of the middle part of the coaster.

Therefore, those in the last car would quickly reach and pass the highest point, creating a sensation of being thrown off.

"What’s there to fear?" she replied.

Although He Qiya had never ridden in the last car, she was confident.

He Qiya stepped directly into the last car.

Her beautiful eyes looked at Su Mu with pride, as if to say: This is so easy, you underestimate me.

Su Mu said nothing, but the slight curl of his lips showed that he was in a good mood as well.

"Just don’t blame me if you end up crying later."

Su Mu gave He Qiya a preemptive warning.

Should He Qiya end up crying from fright, Su Mu didn’t want to be held responsible.

"You’re underestimating me," He Qiya retorted discontentedly.

Did Su Mu really think she was that timid?

Or did he think she was just a crybaby girl?

He Qiya thought about it, she had only cried in front of Su Mu once, hadn’t she?

No!

He Qiya denied this in her mind.

She hadn’t really cried that time, so it didn’t count as shedding tears.

He Qiya’s stubbornness successfully amused Su Mu.

Su Mu really hadn’t expected He Qiya to have such a playful side.

"Fasten your seatbelt."

Su Mu saw that the carriages in front were already filled with tourists and guessed that the roller coaster should soon be set in motion.

"Okay"

In front of Su Mu, it seemed that every girl became very obedient.

Even the Ice Mountain Beauty, He Qiya, had no objections to Su Mu’s words and acted accordingly.

After both of them fastened their seatbelts, they waited for the roller coaster to start.

But after a while, there was no sign of the roller coaster starting.

"What’s going on? Why isn’t it starting?"

"Exactly, I’ve been ready for a while now, and if we wait any longer, I might lose the courage to ride."

"Could there be some malfunction with the equipment?"

"You jinx, can’t you say something auspicious? We haven’t even started yet, and there are no good words coming from you."

"Sorry, I spoke too quickly."

"But really, why isn’t the car moving at all after such a long time?"

"I remember the one before us started moving quite quickly after everyone got on, right?"

...

The passengers sitting in front had already begun discussing amongst themselves.

It really was a bit strange.

Everyone noticed that even if the last carriage was empty, the previous rides had started normally.

Why then, with this ride filled to capacity, even the last carriage having no empty seats, was the roller coaster not starting?

Su Mu and He Qiya also heard everyone’s discussion.

However, unlike the others, Su Mu and He Qiya were not in a hurry.

After all, there were staff members around, and if there was any issue, they would come to notify them, wouldn’t they?

Sure enough

Within a few minutes, a young woman hurriedly walked out of the control room.

"Could there really be a problem?"

"Now you mention it."

"No, look, the staff has come out."

...

The control room was some distance away from the roller coaster.

Seeing the staff member walking towards this direction, everyone started discussing again.

Exchanging glances, Su Mu and He Qiya wondered if it was possible that there really was a malfunction—it was too much of a coincidence.

When an amusement ride suddenly doesn’t operate normally, and the staff members also appear to be rushing over, Su Mu and He Qiya’s thoughts were naturally understandable.

Unexpectedly, the staff member didn’t stop at the tourist carriages in front but came directly to the last carriage where Su Mu and He Qiya were sitting.

"Sir, Miss, the last carriage has the most intense jolts."

"Generally, girls don’t choose to sit in the last carriage."

"If it’s because the other carriages are full, could I ask you two to take the next ride instead?"

The staff member had rushed over from the control room upon seeing that a girl was sitting in the last carriage.

The staff member thought that Su Mu and He Qiya had chosen the last carriage because there were no seats available in the others.

You see, once a roller coaster starts, it can’t be stopped halfway through.

The staff member had come over specifically with this in mind.

What if, halfway through the ride, the girl in the last carriage became frightened?

The staff member thought it was better to give a heads-up in advance.

After all, the staff member had never seen any girl dare to take the last seat.

Of course, that was after the girls understood the situation.
