Chapter 731: Chapter 729 Unrequited Love 1_1

They say that riding a Ferris wheel together brings happiness, especially if you kiss when it reaches the top, you can stay together for a lifetime.

Although it was just a legend, Jiang Qingchen couldn’t help but want to give it a try.

Even if they weren’t lovers now and couldn’t kiss.

"Do you want to go on the Ferris wheel?" There was a hint of anticipation in his tone.

"The Ferris wheel?" Muxia followed his gaze.

She saw a gradient purple Ferris wheel, its lights shimmering as it turned leisurely, exuding an air of tranquil beauty.

Such a girlish Ferris wheel – of course, Muxia wouldn’t miss it: "Let’s go! Let’s go!"

She nodded eagerly.

But in the next second, she refused: "Wait a minute."

It was unclear what the girl had seen, but her already sparkling eyes shone brighter, her rosy lips curved into a surprised smile, and her cheeks gradually flushed.

Her entire oval face was bright and tender, like a begonia flower suddenly blooming.

Jiang Qingchen originally didn’t know what this spring-like demeanor meant, but when he followed her gaze and saw Xu Zeming, he couldn’t help but grind his molars in frustration.

Damn it!

How did he also come here!

And they just had to run into him!

His private world with her had been shattered...

At this moment, Jiang Qingchen truly felt like strangling Xu Zeming.

"Xu!" However, like a runaway pony, Muxia rushed over to him, waving her little hand non-stop.

She seemed as excited as if she had seen a family member.

Xu Zeming heard the voice and instinctively turned his head.

His gaze penetrated the dense crowd, and he saw the girl running towards him like a rabbit.

Backlit, the soft halo made her look hazy, and her long ponytail bounced as she ran, like a rabbit’s long ears.

It made one want to reach out and pinch them.

Xu Zeming was slightly taken aback by this thought.

However, he quickly regained his composure, smiling gently and radiantly, his voice warm, "Muxia? Are you at the amusement park too?"

"Yes! Yes!" The girl panted to a stop in front of him, hastily responding, her shining eyes gave him a glance, then shyly lowered.

That day, Xu Zeming wore a set of casual white attire, looking sunny and spirited, exuding an aura of warm jade, the epitome of charm.

Muxia bit her lip, her heart stirred, and her little heart raced uncontrollably.

She mustered the courage to look him straight in the eye: "Did you come by yourself, senior?"

As she spoke, she swallowed her saliva.

"Yes, I’m by myself. My house is nearby, and when I heard about the opening, I came to join in the fun," Xu Zeming said smilingly.

His smile was bright and cheerful, his handsome face warm, and his magnetic voice was tender; it was like the whispers shared between lovers, causing a blush and a racing heart.

Muxia was momentarily mesmerized.

Until Jiang Qingchen’s cool voice came from behind: "Aren’t you going on the Ferris wheel anymore?"

Xu Zeming raised his eyebrows towards him: "You’re here too? Are you together?"

Fearing any misunderstanding, Muxia hurriedly clarified: "Yes, we came together, but it’s to thank him, I..."

Before she could finish explaining, she was impatiently interrupted by Jiang Qingchen: "So, are you going or not?"

The more she feared Xu Zeming would misunderstand, the less he allowed her to explain.

Thrown by the chaos, Muxia’s thoughts were dragged along, and she nodded quickly: "Yes! I want to go!"

After speaking, the girl, with a fluttering heart like a rabbit within, looked at Xu Zeming with apprehension, nervousness, and anticipation, and invited him with courage: "Senior, would you like to ride the Ferris wheel with us?"

The meaning behind the Ferris wheel was so wonderful... How romantic it would be to ride with her senior!

Muxia grew more and more excited, the more she thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed, she couldn’t wait to immediately drag him onto the Ferris wheel.

However—

"No way!"

"Not happening!"

Two voices almost rose at the same time.

Jiang Qingchen clenched his fingers, his face was taut, and his lips were also pursed into a line.

The Ferris wheel was a staple for couples, what was the point of three people?

Moreover, he did not want her to ride the Ferris wheel with another boy; he’d be drowned alive by his own jealousy!

"Why not?" Muxia pouted, looking somewhat displeased at Jiang Qingchen.

If it were a stranger he didn’t know, it’d be fine for him to refuse, but wasn’t Xu a friend of his? What was wrong with friends playing together?

Before Jiang Qingchen could explain, Xu Zeming tactfully refused, "I’m really sorry, Muxia, I don’t feel much like riding the Ferris wheel."

Such a boring thing was not to his liking.

Muxia twisted her fingers and stopped insisting, "Is that so... What would you like to play then? I can join you!"

She looked at him with eager interest.

Being able to play in the amusement park with the person she liked, ah, just the thought was delightful!

Xu Zeming looked downward, the sunlight falling on his long lashes as he answered with a gentle voice, "I was just about to go to the Scream Room, are you sure you want to go with me?"

Despite his sunny and gentle appearance, he was quite wild at heart; he liked playing all sorts of thrilling games.

The Scream Room, was a horror-themed escape game that tested courage and wits to the extreme.

Thinking about playing with the person she liked, Muxia felt her heart soar with joy and didn’t think too much about the implication of his words. She nodded in agreement without hesitation: "Sure, what’s there to be unsure about?"

Who cares if it was the Scream Room or the Howl Room? As long as he was there, anything was okay!

Seeing this, Jiang Qingchen couldn’t help but fold his arms and let out a cold laugh.

The Scream Room, that’s just another name for a horror-themed escape room.

But obviously, Muxia had no idea.

On a normal day, Jiang Qingchen would have reminded her, but now...

Heh!

She wanted to play, didn’t she? Then let her play to her heart’s content!

Let her cry her eyes out!

A man submerged in jealousy and envy had already lost much of his reason.

"Since we’re going, let’s go together," Jiang Qingchen followed suit.

He would not let her be alone with another man in a confined space. What if she was taken advantage of?

Especially since Xu Zeming was a nearly ripe playboy!

He knew what one ought to know and what one ought not!

"Qingchen is also going to play this?" Muxia glanced at him, her expression immediately wilted.

Really, what was he doing coming along to be a third wheel.

She was still looking forward to singing karaoke alone with Xu.

Indeed, Muxia assumed the Scream Room was a place for singing.

After all... doesn’t the name sound like it?

"Can’t I play?" Jiang Qingchen asked back quietly, adding, "You better not forget why you came here today!"

"It’s to thank me!"

He reminded her.

Reminded of this, Muxia suddenly didn’t dare to say much more.

There’s really no denying the old saying, taking favors from others does make one’s words shorter!
