Chapter 730: Chapter 728 Also_1

Muxia: "..."

Free my ass, it all comes out of the ticket price anyway.

"Young lady, are you going to buy a ticket or not?"

Under the watchful gaze of the ticket seller, Muxia subconsciously squeezed the only three hundred yuan in her wallet, an expression of awkward embarrassment spreading across her face.

Yes, she had only three hundred yuan left.

Though she was a rich girl, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, her parents did not want their children to develop the bad habit of spending money recklessly, so they didn’t give her much pocket money each month.

And she loved to eat, so her pocket money had run very low early on.

She had thought that the amusement park tickets would cost at most one hundred per person, leaving her with a hundred left, enough for her and Jiang Qingchen to eat and drink.

But she hadn’t anticipated that she wouldn’t even have enough for the tickets!

"If you’re not buying, then don’t hold up the other customers. Really," the ticket seller said, growing impatient as Muxia hadn’t produced the money yet.

Although she hadn’t said anything nasty, her tone and gaze were full of contempt.

Coming to an amusement park without money, did she think they were the kind of high-end place that didn’t charge for admission?

The other customers were displeased too, feeling that Muxia was wasting their time.

Muxia had never felt as embarrassed in her life as she did now, her face burning hot, as if she had been slapped several times.

Unable to endure everyone’s stares any longer, she bit her lip, her voice quivering with the stress of crying, "Chen, I’m sorry, I didn’t bring enough money, and I’m afraid I can’t treat you to the amusement park."

She reached out to pull Jiang Qingchen, ready to leave.

"Just because you don’t have money doesn’t mean I don’t," Jiang Qingchen not only didn’t leave but pulled her forward a step, while taking out money, he glared coldly at the ticket seller, "Who said we’re not buying?"

Slap!

Five red bills were laid out before her.

As he took the tickets, he didn’t let the matter drop, "You are a service worker, please mind your attitude towards customers. Regardless of whether the customer has money or not, you should never show impatience or disdain; such behavior greatly affects the customer experience and can even hurt a person’s self-esteem."

"I hope you can be polite next time you encounter such a situation!"

She could have been very gentle and asked Muxia to come back another time, but instead, she seemed eager for Muxia to leave sooner.

If it had not been Muxia but someone who really couldn’t afford the amusement park, their self-esteem would have surely been devastated.

The ticket seller’s face turned a series of colours from green to white to red, a spectacle like a palette, clearly not expecting to be lectured by a young man.

"Well said!"

Those who enjoyed watching the scene never shied away from adding excitement, and someone couldn’t help but stir things up.

Of course, there were also those who thought the poor shouldn’t come to such upscale places.

Jiang Qingchen ignored irrelevant people, his expression gentle as he pulled the girl into the amusement park.

Once inside, Muxia hung her head, her face still burning, too embarrassed to look at him, "I was supposed to treat you as thanks for climbing the wall to buy me snacks, but now you had to spend again."

"If I had known it would be like this, I would’ve definitely asked my mother for an advance on next month’s pocket money," Muxia sighed regretfully.

"It doesn’t matter," Jiang Qingchen didn’t care about these things at all. As long as he could be with her and have fun, not to mention spending five hundred—it wouldn’t matter even if he spent all his savings from over the years.

"If you really feel bad about it, then you can treat me to a drink," Jiang Qingchen added, noticing that she still looked uncomfortable.

Muxia lifted her oval face, asking eagerly, "Then what would you like to drink?"

"Litchi-flavored soda," Jiang Qingchen articulated.

Muxia’s eyes couldn’t help but sparkle, her dimpled smile widening. "I love drinking that, too, Qingchen, we really do have similar tastes."

"Hmm."

In reality, what are the odds—it was simply that she liked it, so he followed suit.

The litchi soda was sweet and rich in flavor, and being chilled made it all the more refreshing. Gulping down a big mouthful into one’s stomach was an indescribable relief from the heat.

"It’s so good, I want to buy another one," Muxia said, finishing off the whole cup in just a few sips.

Jiang Qingchen furrowed his brow, staring at the girl who was still biting the straw, attempting to draw up the very last drop. "Don’t buy cold ones anymore, it’s not good for a girl’s body to drink too many cold beverages."

"Why is it bad?" Muxia let go of the straw, instinctively retorting with innocent and curious blinking eyes.

"Of course, it’s because... your period will hurt."

As he got to those last words, Jiang Qingchen, the big boy, was clearly embarrassed, his gaze darting everywhere but at her.

His ears also tinged red.

Muxia’s face turned even redder.

Really now, how did the conversation turn to this topic?

She whispered in a mosquito-like voice, "...I haven’t had my period yet."

Now, that should stop the topic, right?

But Jiang Qingchen continued, "You’re not that young anymore, it’s probably coming soon."

Muxia: "..."

Oh my! Why is he still going on about this topic?

Muxia’s face grew redder and she bowed lower and lower.

"Cough!" It wasn’t just her feeling awkward; Jiang Qingchen also felt quite embarrassed, so he quickly dismissed the thought of continuing to educate her about periods and changed the topic: "There are a lot of attractions here, which one do you want to play? I’ll go queue up for you."

Finally leaving behind that previous topic, Muxia perked up, pointed on her tiptoes to the flying chairs not far away, and said, "I want to play that one."

As for the matter of the iced litchi soda, Muxia was too embarrassed to bring it up again, lest he circle back to the topic of periods.

"I’ll go stand in line." Just as Jiang Qingchen lifted his foot to leave, he stopped and decided to bring her along instead: "Let’s queue together, it’s crowded here, better not to get separated."

Muxia had no objections.

Muxia was timid and couldn’t handle thrilling rides like roller coasters; therefore, she tended to stick to milder forms of entertainment.

However, mild attractions were scarce, and Muxia couldn’t help but pout: "It feels like we can’t get our money’s worth."

As she spoke, she looked up at the more exciting attractions, cursing her lack of courage—if only she were braver, she would have played every single one, and then the admission fee wouldn’t have been in vain.

That’s a whole five hundred bucks!

Her heart was practically bleeding!

Jiang Qingchen, however, didn’t see it that way: "As long as you’re having fun, that’s what matters. Who says you have to get your money’s worth playing? If you force yourself to play these attractions out of fear just to get your money’s worth, isn’t that just asking for trouble?"

"That’s true." Comforted by his words, Muxia stopped fretting over whether she was making a loss or not.

The amusement park was large, and Jiang Qingchen walked alongside Muxia.

As they walked, he looked for attractions suitable for her, and spotting a Ferris wheel queue not far away, something seemed to cross his mind, and a thick smile spread over his lips.
