Chapter 197: Chapter 196: Retreat

"There’s going to be a good show soon."

"What show?"

"Don’t tell me you didn’t get it, didn’t you hear what the staff said just now? What’s with the act?"

"Was that necessary? They haven’t done anything to you, why take pleasure in their misfortune?"

"What, you feel sorry for them because they’re pretty? You think your pity means anything to that beauty?"

"Didn’t you see how handsome the guy protecting her was?"

"I’m not feeling sorry for anyone, I just think you shouldn’t be targeting them like this; it’s not their fault they’re good-looking."

"So you’re saying, just after one look, your heart is taken? Then why did you ask me out to have fun?"

...

Because the staff needed to walk some distance to get back to the control room.

During this brief period, a man and a woman in one of the cars started arguing.

It appeared they were a couple, though their relationship didn’t seem to be all that strong.

The cause of their argument was the woman in the car wanting to witness He Qiya make a fool of herself, while the man’s words seemed to defend He Qiya.

Just like that, a war erupted because of someone neither of them knew.

Feeling everyone’s gaze on her, the woman began to lose face.

Hoping to see the beauty embarrass herself was one thing.

But having it pointed out directly was something else entirely.

The woman felt she saw mocking in the eyes of the others.

It was as if they were mocking her for being jealous because she wasn’t as pretty, thus harboring bad thoughts.

It was also as if they were mocking her for being sold out by her companion.

The woman didn’t believe other women in the carriages weren’t harboring the same thoughts as she was.

When urging the staff just now, the woman had noticed other women clearly disliking the beauty and behaving accordingly.

They just hadn’t been betrayed by the people next to them.

Thinking this, the woman glared fiercely at the man beside her.

"If you like her, then take a good look, but have you looked in the mirror? Can you compare with the handsome guy next to her?"

"I’m curious, you’re so sympathetic toward her, do you think she’ll appreciate it?"

While saying this, the woman stood up angrily.

Since the commotion on her side had already attracted the attention of everyone in the car.

Of course, everyone in the car didn’t include Su Mu and He Qiya.

The woman had sneakily glanced over and noticed that the handsome guy didn’t even look in her direction.

Feeling a bit like a jumping clown, the woman’s anger grew.

"The roller coaster is about to start, please do not move around, fasten your seatbelts."

The staff must have returned to the control room and, seeing someone standing, quickly reminded everyone through the broadcast.

"Sit down quickly, we’re about to start."

The man looked like a decent person, not reacting aggressively to the woman’s aggressive demeanor or the stares of those around him.

The man pulled on the woman’s hand, signaling her to sit down.

If they kept delaying, the roller coaster might indeed not start at all.

The woman shook off the man’s hand, wanting to get off the ride.

But upon glancing at the indifferent He Qiya, the woman changed her mind.

Sitting down angrily, the woman fastened her seatbelt.

It wasn’t because of what the man said that the woman changed her mind.

The woman’s reasoning was simple, she wanted to wait and see the beauty embarrass herself.

If she got off now, the woman knew she would only be able to stand on the periphery.

That way, she wouldn’t be able to witness the embarrassing scene she had envisioned right away.

The woman felt that only by sitting on this roller coaster could she observe the beauty’s reaction in real-time.

If she could even spare a moment to take out her phone, the woman wouldn’t mind taking a precious souvenir photo for the beauty who had caused a war with her boyfriend.

After all, He Qiya and Su Mu were sitting in the last carriage, and it was easy for the other passengers to look back and see what was happening behind them.

Of course, that was just what the woman was thinking at the moment.

The roller coaster quickly started, ascending, descending, and turning, with its speed and thrill increasing by the moment.

Shrill screams echoed from each carriage of the roller coaster.

Of course, except for the last carriage.

Su Mu felt stimulated, too, but not to the extent that he would scream.

Su Mu felt that everything was within an acceptable range.

This was knowledge from physics class, and Su Mu said he already knew the principle behind roller coasters, so he didn’t think there was anything to be afraid of.

Su Mu even leisurely glanced at He Qiya next to him.

He Qiya was a girl, after all, and even if she was brave, the last carriage was definitely more thrilling.

Su Mu wondered if He Qiya could handle it?

It was both unexpected and reasonable.

Su Mu saw He Qiya’s calm face.

Seeing Su Mu looking at her, He Qiya even gave him a smile.

Su Mu gave He Qiya a thumbs up.

As the roller coaster rushed downwards, all Su Mu could hear was the wind whistling by his ears.

Su Mu knew that even if he praised He Qiya now, she wouldn’t be able to hear him.

So Su Mu simply expressed it with his hand.

Seeing Su Mu’s thumbs up, the smile on He Qiya’s face grew even wider.

It seemed like this was the first time Su Mu had complimented her, wasn’t it?

He Qiya felt that she had finally shown Su Mu one of her strengths in front of him.

If being brave is considered a strength, that is.

But at that moment, He Qiya already counted being brave as one of her strengths.

Anyway, as long as Su Mu thought something was good, He Qiya felt it was a strength.

The flying disk spun three times high in the sky, and screams kept bursting from the roller coaster.

When the roller coaster finally came to a stop, everyone in the carriages was sitting in their places, calming their emotions.

Some who were less brave even sat there and started crying.

They had no energy to care about what others thought, nor the strength to wonder if crying would ruin the makeup they had applied that morning.

"Are we riding again?"

Both Su Mu and He Qiya had a look of indifference, as if the roller coaster ride hadn’t involved them at all.

"No, it wasn’t very interesting,"

He Qiya shook her head, feeling that the roller coaster wasn’t as exciting as she had imagined.

Even though she and Su Mu had ridden in the last carriage, to He Qiya, it just felt so-so.

"Then let’s go."

Su Mu had asked because he saw He Qiya ride the carousel three times.

Thinking she liked to do things that way, he questioned her interest.

Unexpectedly, Miss He didn’t care at all for this roller coaster.

Su Mu expressed that he felt the same way.

Since they both agreed, they naturally left right away.

Su Mu saw that there were many other fun attractions in this thrilling area, so there was no need to waste more time there.
