Hearing that, the man raised the corner of his lips, seemingly satisfied with the answer.
However, Su Jianan added quickly, “But I’m already married, and I have a husband.”
“How come?” In an instant, the smugness on the man’s face faded to nothing. His tone became rigid while he was trying to holding her hands more tightly. “You still look very young.”
Su Jianan tried to get rid of him and the man still grabbed her hands. Then, she felt a fury inside.
“How can she get into trouble when she was trying to help others?”
“It’s not that I’m too young.” She smiled brightly. “It’s you that’s too old. Get off me! Or I’ll call the police right after I get out of here!”
“You really can talk.” The man approached while laughing through his teeth, seemingly indicating something. “What if I don’t?”
Unbelievable!
Su Jianan gave up the idea of trying to reason with this man. Thus, she managed to use her adequate Taekwondo skill to get away from the man.
Looking at his empty hands, the man was a little surprised at that moment. Then, he smiled while looking at her stubborn face. “You learned Taekwondo? I didn’t see that. You look just like a flower blooming in a greenhouse.”
“You look like a pervert!”
Su Jianan did not bother talking to such a man and quickly left the water sink.
Since he looked quite like a gentleman, she thought he was a man of integrity. However, it was true that you could not judge a book by its cover. She decided that in the future, she would not mind other’s business anymore. But for the fact that he had not expected that she could escape so easily, she might have been stopped by the man for a long while. Moreover, if it was found out by Lu Boyan… she could not bear to imagine the consequence.
Looking at Su Jianan’s back, the man by the water sink slightly raised his lips.
It did not matter if she said nothing because he would find out everything one by one. In this city, nothing could hide from him.
It used to be their family’s kingdom here, but the accident that happened out of the blue 14 years ago made everything go astray. Now, he came back as the heir of their family. He was going to take back their long lost land inch by inch.
He would s.n.a.t.c.h everything that he wanted!
In the restaurant.
Lu Boyan checked his watch for the fourth time—it was already more than half of an hour since Su Jianan had left for the bathroom.
He was going to look for her, and then he heard familiar footsteps approaching. It was Su Jianan’s. She trotted back all the way and then sat down breathlessly. Then, she gulped down half gla.s.s of water.
“How did it take you so long?” He asked with a frown.
“Too many people and I waited in the line. Then I reapplied my sunscreen. So it took some time.” Su Jianan did not dare to tell him what happened by the water sink and muddled through with an excuse. “Have you finished? Shall we go now?”
She did not want to stay in the restaurant anymore, not for a second.
Lu Boyan thought she was in a hurry for all those rides and attractions. Thus, he took her out of the restaurant. Then, she pointed to somewhere not far away. “How about a ride in that?”
Ferris wheel?
“She’s been in those rides of scream the entire morning, and how will she be interested in such a gentle ride?”
“How about that?” Su Jianan feared that he might decline so she kept tugging at his hands coyly. “I haven’t been in a Ferris wheel in an amus.e.m.e.nt park since I was born.”
Lu Boyan had to agree to bring her there and she exhausted like a child getting the candies they wanted.
It was right at lunch time and maybe the tourists were all in the middle of a meal, there were not long lines anywhere. Even, there was no one waiting beside the Ferris wheel.
The staff closed the door of the carriage and then the Ferris wheel started moving horizontally. Then, it slowly went upward, further and further away from the ground.
Suddenly, Su Jianan let out a squeak. “Ahh!”
“What’s wrong?” Lu Boyan thought she was afraid of heights, so he wrapped his hands around her shoulders.
In fact, it was just that something had crossed her mind and she was too embarra.s.sed to say it out loud. She blushed and had to twist around to appreciate the view outside the windows. “Nothing.”
Long long ago, Luo Xiaoxi had told her that couples could not ride in a Ferris wheel. If they did, they would end up breaking up with each other… unless when the Ferris wheel reached its peak, the kissed. If the kissed, they would still stay together.
She knew that maybe someone just made it up and it might be a pure lie. However, she would rather believe it in case it turned out to be true because she really did not want to break up with Lu Boyan…
Lu Boyan had detected Su Jianan’s weird expressions long ago, and he called her name since she had been lost in her thoughts the entire time. “Jianan.”
Right at that moment, the Ferris wheel reached its peak. Time waited for no man, and Su Jianan felt the most terrified at that time.
She suddenly turned around, threw herself at him, and kissed him. She held him with her both hands, fearing that he might push her away.
Lu Boyan was taken back, wrapped her into his arms at once, and kissed her lips. “What is going on?”
The Ferris wheel had gone past its peak and was going downward. Su Jianan thought that since he and she had kissed, they would not be cursed by the prophecy, right?
Just when she felt relieved, another memory flashed back in her mind, which was her kissing him so boldly just now. She blushed even more and buried her face in his arms. “No-nothing…”
Right, she looked exactly like a shy animal. Her long eyelashes fluttered and her face was red, anyone would want to tease her seeing her like that.
Lu Boyan lifted her chin and lowered his head to put her lower lip into his mouth.
He was kissing her, and it took a while for Su Jianan to realized that. Her hands involuntarily crawled onto his neck and she was responding to his kisses.
Her kisses still felt immature and lacked skills, but Lu Boyan liked her in that way. The way she acted inadequately but still tried to please him. He would always want to lock her in his arms to love her.
The Ferris wheel was slowly landing, but they were too busy to mind any view on the way.
Lu Boyan circled his arm around her waist to pull her nearer and put the other hand at the back of her head to make those kisses even deeper.
Su Jianan thought that since they kissed when the Ferris wheel first reached its peak, they would never break up since they had kissed for so long, right?
“Alright! Off the car!” The sound of the staff rang outside the carriage.
Su Jianan suddenly came to her senses and tried to push Lu Boyan away but failed. He was holding her head, deeply kissing her for a few more times before releasing her lips. Right at that moment, the door was pulled open from the outside. The staff auntie looked at them with unfriendly eyes. Su Jianan could not see why she had to hold grudge against them.
This time, Su Jianan was shy for real. She buried her face in Lu Boyan’s arms and was carried off the car with Lu Boyan’s arms circling around her waist and keens. When the early autumn sunshine shone on her face, she felt even hotter on her cheeks.
Lu Boyan looked at the little ostrich in his arms. “Weren’t you really decisive when you threw yourself at me and kissed me just now? Why are you being shy now?”
“He can’t have known the story about Ferris wheel.” Su Jianan pounded her fist softly on his back and looked up to him. “You don’t understand, so don’t bring it up again!” The times when she took the initiative were only a few, and this time, it was definitely going to be brought up as a laughingstock by him in the future.
At this time, her lips looked redder and rounder than before, and her looking up was like an invitation again. Lu Boyan could not resist kissing her a few more times, lowering his head. “What do you want next? A Ferris wheel ride one more time?”
Su Jianan knew that Lu Boyan was ill-intended so she pushed him away with a blush. Instead, referring to the map, she took him to another district and entered the Biochemical Lab.
The guide description said due to some virus, most of the humans on earth had turned into zombies, like those in the US series The Walking Dead. The zombies savaged the remaining humans, and anyone who entered here was going to have their courage and survival skills tested.
At the entrance, it was already weirdly silent. Young girls clung to their boyfriends and walked forward very carefully. Among them, only Su Jianan was antic.i.p.ating what was coming next.
Lu Boyan was not sure that if she really was not scared because of those corpses she had seen, or if she really believed in science, knew that all this was fake, and just came here to satisfied her curiosity.
“Lu Boyan.” While trying to find out what was in the front, Su Jianan grabbed his hand tightly at the same time. “If zombies really come out, can I hit them?”
Lu Boyan said, “Be gentle, they’re just staff here.”
“Oh.” Su Jianan wondered again. “How much do you think they earn since they put on makeup and rags to scare people all day here? I think they earn more than me.” “After all, this job is hard.”
Lu Boyan. “… I don’t know.”
Two couples in front of them were listening to them just now. They first looked at them with strange faces and then those girls finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Right. They’re just staff working here. Why should I feel afraid?”
Just at that moment, some heavy footsteps sounded out of nowhere. If they listened carefully, the footsteps seemed to be ringing in all directions. With the scary sound effects, they all got the feeling that a calamity was coming.
“Grrr, grrr…” Then, weird human voices sounded.
The zombies came!
Some timid girls hid in their boyfriends’ arms, and Su Jianan also shrank a little to Lu Boyan’s side. At that moment, a few doors beside them suddenly opened and six to seven “zombies” clad in weird rags flooded into the room.
Their faces were pale. The corners of their eyes and their bodies were all covered in blood stains. Their eyeb.a.l.l.s seemed to be sticking out of their eyes, and the clothes on them were ragged from some unholy tearing apart.
They stuck their arms out and walked fast toward them. In the red, green, yellow, and other colored lights, they looked more than Death from h.e.l.l.
“Arhhhh!” Girls still forgot the fact that they were just staffs and their knees softened while they were screaming. The closer the zombies got, the deeper they got into their friends’ arms.
Su Jianan did not scream but was absorbed in observing those zombie’s makeup. Maybe they thought that they failed to scare her, so the two “zombies” tried again and rushed toward her.
Lu Boyan was trying to protect Su Jianan by standing before her. However, by instinct, she had already struck out herself. The “zombie” let out a cry from the hit. When she realized, she apologized at once. “Sorry! I… I didn’t mean to. Don’t get close to me.”
“…” “Zombies” looked aggrieved and walked away to scare other people.
Su Jianan looked timidly to Lu Boyan behind her. “Did I hurt them?”
“Not really.” Lu Boyan said, “They’ve got protection gears on their clothes. You’re just hitting on their clothes.”
“Then, why did they look… so strange just now?” Su Jianan was sort of upset because those zombies were looking at her as if she had been a real zombie.
Lu Boyan c.o.c.ked an eyebrow. “Probably they haven’t met such a bold woman visitor.”
Su Jianan’s eyes lit up. “Lu Boyan, how about we try the escape route? See if we can get out of here! Follow me!”
She was ready for the trip and Lu Boyan did not want to upset her, so he just followed her lead. Then, he discovered she was smarter than he had imagined. She acted deftly on the route, and even if they met “zombies”, she took them out according to the game rules. Occasionally, she would ask him for help though.
A couple was following behind them, and the girl felt envious toward Su Jianan. “She’s so bada.s.s. But isn’t his boyfriend kind of lame? He’s following her the whole time.”
“You’re lame.” The boy knocked on her head. “Haven’t you see? She would ask him about those accurate numbers and the details of the game. The boy’s been watching her playing. But it’s quite amazing that she made it here. I heard that even most men can’t make it on this escape route.”
