Chapter 203: Chapter 202: Bringing Back the Friendship That Was Pushed Away

The thrill section of the amusement park was truly suitable for Su Mu and He Qiya.

Other attractions seemed too childish for Su Mu and he didn’t want to touch them at all.

As for He Qiya, well, she always had nerves of steel.

She even found her thrill in this hazardous zone.

Now, He Qiya even felt that these exciting games were more fun than her favorite carousel.

The carousel had become popular because of the Korean drama "Stairway to Heaven," which was a hit in China at the time.

Many girls considered carousels to be the ultimate romantic symbol.

Back then, He Qiya hadn’t been sent abroad by her parents yet.

At that time, He Qiya and her close friends would watch the drama together.

Because of "Stairway to Heaven," He Qiya and her friends deliberately spent half a day riding the carousel at the amusement park.

They really just rode the carousel.

Until finally, when everyone started to feel dizzy, He Qiya and her friends reluctantly left the amusement park.

But none of this could dampen the girls’ enthusiasm for the carousel.

Whenever they had the chance, they would plan to go together to the amusement park just for a few rides on the carousel.

This continued until He Qiya was sent abroad by her family.

Once overseas, even when He Qiya came back during the holidays, she no longer reached out to her old friends.

In He Qiya’s view, she could never go back to the way things were before with her friends.

Because her other friends were all in China, they could easily meet up and strengthen their bond.

But it was different for He Qiya.

Holidays abroad didn’t align with those in China to start with.

They didn’t have the traditional Chinese New Year abroad,

And in China, they didn’t have a holiday for things like Christmas.

So, even when He Qiya came back to China, she couldn’t sync up with her old friends.

On top of that, the cold violence she experienced overseas gradually made her own personality colder.

Not wanting her old friends to see what she had become, He Qiya withdrew from contacting anyone.

At first, when everyone heard that He Qiya was back in the country, they would call or message her to invite her out.

After He Qiya repeatedly refused their kind offers, no one reached out to her again.

To others, it might seem like He Qiya had put on airs since coming back with a layer of gold plating from abroad,

But nobody knew that it was He Qiya’s timidity that kept her from contacting her old friends.

"Do you dare to ride the Pendulum?"

Seldom, Su Mu’s interest was also piqued.

Originally, Su Mu had thought that accompanying He Qiya to the amusement park today would be incredibly boring.

Unexpectedly, He Qiya was unlike most girls; she was so brave.

Su Mu felt that he and He Qiya could really enjoy themselves together.

At this point, He Qiya didn’t seem like a little sister in Su Mu’s mind, she rather had the air of a bro.

After all, seeing He Qiya’s courage, Su Mu thought he could treat her like one of the guys without any problem.

"What’s there to be afraid of?"

Su Mu’s words pulled He Qiya back from her nostalgia.

He Qiya made up her mind that once her personality reverted to what it used to be,

She would definitely take the initiative to contact those old friends and give them a heartfelt apology.

She would retrieve the friendship she had pushed away.

Without another word, the two headed straight for the Pendulum.

The Pendulum was far more thrilling than a rollercoaster.

The ride could also be called Hurricane Pass.

Just from the name, you could tell how exhilarating it was.

The Pendulum was in action, and there were still plenty of brave souls who thought they were fearless enough to ride it.

Su Mu took a look; the Pendulum wasn’t fully seated with tourists, but there were quite a few people on it nonetheless.

However, the haunting screams were enough to deter many who had been waiting below, originally intending to experience the ride for themselves.

"Let’s just forget it, I don’t want to play this anymore."

A girl said to her male companion.

Watching the Pendulum swing higher with each pass,

the screams from the tourists on the ride grew more and more tragic, and the girl backed out.

"But I’ve already bought the tickets, and they can’t be refunded. Let’s just try it out."

The boy said, looking at the two tickets in his hand with a touch of regret.

Su Mu glanced at the speaking couple, very young, probably about the same age as himself.

Su Mu guessed that the two of them were likely students as well.

But it seemed there was another aspect to their relationship, that of young lovers.

From their clothes, Su Mu could tell that their financial situation was likely average.

Because their outfits were similar to how Su Mu used to dress when he didn’t know his true identity.

For students with modest backgrounds, the ticket price for the Pendulum wasn’t exactly low.

It made sense for the boy to feel the pinch.

"I don’t care; I just don’t want to play anymore," the girl insisted.

Su Mu could tell from her attitude that the boy was probably covering all the expenses for their outing.

So the girl didn’t seem to care in the slightest.

This girl was no good.

Su Mu mentally critiqued.

"It was you who insisted on playing at the start. I told you before, you’re too timid, it’s not suited for you."

"But you wanted to show off, saying you definitely wouldn’t be scared."

"Now that I’ve bought the tickets, and you don’t want to play, it’s a waste of money," the boy argued, visibly annoyed as he looked at the tickets in his hand.

The money for this trip had been saved up over several months from his allowance.

The boy felt that the girl wasn’t taking his efforts seriously.

There was already a crowd gathered at the base of the Pendulum.

Some were there, feeling sufficiently brave, waiting for their turn to ride.

Others were simply there for the spectacle, not daring to ride themselves.

Now, because of the boy’s words, everyone turned their attention to the girl.

Seeing everyone looking at her, the girl felt they were mocking her cowardice because of what the boy had said.

With a disgruntled face, the girl deemed it just a waste of one ticket, after all.

Yet, the boy had to expose her fears in public; she felt she had lost face completely.

When she looked around at the onlookers and caught sight of Su Mu’s face,

her cheeks turned bright red instantly.

Su Mu generally didn’t care about other people’s affairs.

But right now, he had to wait for the previous group of tourists to get off before it would be his turn.

And since the boy’s voice had indeed been quite loud,

with nothing else to do, Su Mu also cast a glance in their direction, curious to see how the boy would handle the situation.

Handsome!

Super handsome!

The girl had been so preoccupied with the screams from the Pendulum and her own fear,

she hadn’t paid much attention to the people standing around.

Now, catching a glimpse of Su Mu’s face, the girl’s entire attention was captivated by him.

But, remembering that the handsome guy was witnessing her moment of shame because of the boy’s loud voice,

the girl felt even his glance carried a hint of ridicule.
