I wasn't hit.
This is already a tremendous improvement.
Although this is not actually surprising, on the contrary, it can be said to be an inevitable result.
The preparations for this event have gone too far. Jiang Cheng is using various methods every day to foster the relationship between the three of them, including a certain degree of misery competition, a method that will attract a lot of hatred from him, to make the three of them empathize with each other.
It must be admitted that it is very difficult to do this without revealing that you are a prophet, because it only takes one question, one question—how do you know so much?—and it will be broken.
However, comparing misfortunes inevitably involves aspects that an ordinary person should never know.
Because in fact, it is only by talking about the things those girls have experienced that we can evoke empathy.
Jiang Cheng was actually terrified when he did this.
Fortunately, no one paid attention to this.
Even Kiana, who knew nothing about the actual situation, was tricked along the way, and was unaware of the many things she actually knew, did not question this matter.
Every time, he would give a lame excuse about how he knew about her past.
For example, what we said at lunch yesterday—
Kiana also parted ways with her family early on.
"In this respect, you are all the same."
Such a completely illogical existence, devoid of any reasoning, is like drawing the target before shooting the arrow—even Jiang Cheng himself would find it full of loopholes upon realizing it. Kiana, however, never offered any opinions, only silently nodding as she stuffed food into her stomach, at most glancing at him a little more often.
If a professional like Siegfried were to analyze this, they would probably conclude: How long has the girl been watching you to know so much about her? Damn it! Curiosity and understanding are the first steps in the development of a relationship!
—That's all there is to it.
To arrive at this conclusion requires an extremely high level of understanding of women.
Jiang Cheng's understanding was limited to the fact that Kiana was somewhat suspicious of his actions, but this suspicion was not enough to warrant a real inquiry.
Fortunately, it doesn't matter.
Maybe……
At least for now, the boy had indeed forgotten this little thing that he thought would be buried in the deepest corner of his memory after a few more days because of his safe departure.
Ultimately, one cannot expect an ordinary person whose biggest lie in the past was telling the teacher that they left their homework at home, to instantly transform into an actor unrecognizable to anyone.
If someone truly possesses such talent and skill, they are far from being an ordinary person. In this day and age, it's almost impossible to stand out and remain hidden.
After arriving at Houmu Paradise and confirming that there were no survivors around, and that no one responded even after Kiana shouted twice, he came up with a new idea.
"Since we've come all this way, why don't we check if these entertainment facilities are still working?"
"If possible, changing your mood here is much better than staying cooped up in that building all the time."
The result was the same as before—no one refused.
Lei Dian Ya Lu Qiu Er Er, Si Ba (! Ba) Si Yi was the first to raise his hand in agreement.
Kiana, the fastest, has fallen to second place again.
"Well……"
"How come everyone's faster than me? (Finally, the second umbrella, the long-standing 7-shirt matter)"
Facing Kiana's slightly dissatisfied gaze, his puffed-up cheeks, like those of a pufferfish—even though he hadn't said a word, his miraculous eyes seemed to be complaining about his dissatisfaction at having his scenes being taken away one after another.
Raiden Mei's rare declaration of staying by her side at all times—
"I feel the same way as Jiang Chengjun."
"Staying cooped up in a place where nothing changes is really not suitable for such a monotonous life."
—How is that possible!
How could someone who hates change possibly be bored?
How could someone who could endure even humiliation, even if forced to endure it, possibly dislike such a pleasant, happy, and ordinary life?
The girl, who had lied without batting an eye, immediately turned her gaze to her real target—the boy who was now slightly closer. His eyes, now adorned with the same color as those of Miss Yae, looked over, like half a cherry blossom suddenly falling.
The details are exactly the same as before.
But it's not that urgent anymore.
Is it because... we can finally relax a little?
Just like me.
If I was pulled out of that shadow by you, and you personally rescued me from it, then what made you so relaxed and at ease?
Do you... still remember the promise we made?
That promise to walk hand in hand.
Even now, the girl often thinks of that day, and often loses herself in thought when she looks up.
Even if the day ends and the living room is empty, she will not return to her room until the sun goes down.
She would look out the window, watching the moment when the setting sun, having ceased wielding its power, gradually painted the room red in the sky.
Raiden Mei always thinks back to the time when they first met.
This world is terrible, rotten, full of scheming and plotting. To survive, to live well, how about we try to complement each other? With my knowledge and your potential, we can definitely survive.
As long as she doesn't forget his happy expression back then, the unfulfilled promise seems to continue indefinitely, and she will continue to wait like this.
Although she could berate herself for being useless and easily forget everything, she remembered everything. Because she remembered, it was impossible for her to forget.
So today, she is also chasing after people she can never get close to, aimlessly looking for opportunities to fulfill her promise to stay away from the boy.
Maybe I've already gone mad.
Even his inner thoughts are saying that he's sick.
Because they really are saying it.
Even if my father saw this, he would probably be unhappy with my disheveled appearance.
How can a girl be so unreserved and so proactive?
Even though nothing is even going to happen yet, he still expresses his dissatisfaction with Kiana and Bronya in his daily life. If his father finds out, his gaze will surely be the one he once feared the most.
However, the girl simply chuckled and looked up.
"Let's go together."
"Let's go to Houmu Paradise, Jiangcheng Jun."
……
……
……
“Bronya supports Mei’s idea. As a local, Mei should know better where is a better place to relax.”
Having been taught to cultivate relationships, Bronya naturally offered her unsolicited agreement as if she were a subordinate.
The girl who wasn't a silver wolf transformed into a silver wolf covered in snow in the snowfield at this moment.
Her arrival was practically that of a simp; the support emanating from her seemingly indifferent face almost made Kiana give her a look of contempt—if it weren't for stopping Raiden Mei's ulterior motives towards Jiang Cheng.
The perfectly timed raised hand blocked the gazes exchanged between the two pairs of eyes, forcefully interrupting their seemingly endless contemplation.
"The weather is great today, the rain has stopped, but Bronya can't be sure if it will rain again."
He told the Herald, who wields the power of lightning, that it might rain soon, so they needed to speed things up.
The girl named Bronya has honed her ability to lie through her teeth to the limit.
Kiana, however, seemed oblivious and agreed—
"Yes, yes, let's go, Raiden Mei."
"The weather will change again if it gets any later."
The subtle tug was both soft and hard, like wire stuffed into cotton. Only the clear, starry eyes rippled with blue waves, and the bright sunlight danced on the tips of her hair.
The invisible waves crashed against the girl's body, rendering her hard-won attempt to get closer to the boy once again futile. Even if she wanted to move forward, and actually took one step at a time, she would be pushed backward by the current again—thanks to Bronya and Kiana's seemingly unintentional urging.
what……
what……
it is good……
Ok.
Ultimately, they couldn't withstand the combined force of the river's gentle and forceful impact. No matter how hard they swam forward, their individual strength was utterly useless against the river's force.
Raiden Mei was eventually pulled away, her hands held as if by someone, and she could only turn her head to look at the increasingly distant black-haired, bright boy.
what……
You are not a silent sea.
But... it won't stir my emotions.
……
……
The barely noticeable disturbance was quelled once again, and recruiting a tool was the most reasonable thing to do. Only Jiang Cheng still felt a little strange, because of Kiana's way of addressing Raiden Mei just now.
Yes……
Are they calling out names?
Does Kiana call out Raiden Mei's name?
With such an unfamiliar full name...
The boy was in a daze, unable to make out the plot, but he had no time to do so, because that bright voice had already arrived—
"Let's go, Xiaocheng, stop spacing out."
"Oh...oh, ah..."
"understood."
—In the end, he still followed along.
……
……
……
The rest of the amusement park trip was, as usual, without any opportunity for communication. Raiden Mei could only focus on fulfilling her duties as a tour guide for the time being, patiently waiting for the right moment, and diligently searching for another chance to get closer.
She could even tolerate the torment she had endured in the past. She was drenched in water, and the door that opened might not be filled with the sounds of others laughing or taking pictures with their phones, but rather a hand reaching out to her.
We've already waited this long enough in Jiangcheng, so if we can be a little more patient and wait a little longer, that should be fine, right?
this is not……
What am I best at?
That's why he needs to be even more perfect, so that one day the boy will believe that he doesn't need Kiana's help or Bronya's assistance, and can still fulfill their initial promise together, and take on the same power as his wisdom—to survive in this cruel world.
Without resentment or dissatisfaction, she wholeheartedly introduced everything around her along the way.
After losing real-time monitoring by management personnel, the park did indeed come to a standstill, and many facilities even broke down due to lack of maintenance.
Even so, there are still some things that can be used directly. For example, the haunted house not only has mechanisms that require electricity to operate, but the Ferris wheel can also be used as long as it is connected to electricity.
As for the others, even if some are not broken, they cannot be easily used due to a lack of maintenance personnel, and even the Herrscher of Thunder cannot solve the problem for the time being.
Because it essentially requires relevant technology, simply providing energy is not enough, and it may even lead to further damage on top of existing losses if the wrong path is not taken.
The silver-clad girl suddenly stopped and pointed to the tallest and most winding tunnel in the distance.
"Bronya knows some mechanics and can repair these things, but she needs a tall person to assist her."
“I’ll do it.” Jiang Cheng stepped forward without hesitation. “You and Kiana are stronger in combat, the roller coaster won’t hurt you.”
Just as we discussed this morning.
As for the obstacles Mei might encounter—
