Chapter 326 Ferris Wheel
However, once Gu Ning started to move and attack him, he felt her strength, and realized that it seemed like she had received professional training. Xu Jinchen didn’t dare to underestimate Gu Ning’s ability now.
As time went by, both of them increased the force of their attacks, but it was still even, which shocked Xu Jinchen. Leng Shaoting and Chen Meng were also astonished, because Gu Ning had made a lot of progress within a short time. She was far better than before when she had competed with them. However, no one was more surprised than Si Ming, Xu Qinyin and Qiu Yuxin. It was beyond their imagination that Gu Ning was so good at fighting.
Xu Jinchen finally got frustrated, so he no longer treated Gu Ning as a young girl, but his real opponent.
Gu Ning had improved herself a lot recently and she wasn’t timid at all facing Xu Jinchen’s aggressiveness. She also started to use her full strength without the help of her power.
It was very exciting for Xu Jinchen to have the compet.i.tion with Gu Ning, just like he had done with other teammates in the Red Flame.
People around them were also excited and enjoyed the show. Many were quite surprised by Gu Ning’s agility and powerful attack.
“Jesus, she is so unbelievable!”
“Indeed!”
It was even, but they all only complimented Gu Ning. Women were always thought to be weak when compared to men, but now a young girl was able to stay strong in the compet.i.tion with a muscular man, which made people admire Gu Ning.
“Alright, I think it’s time to stop.” When they had been fighting against each other for a long while, Leng Shaoting reminded them to stop. Although there was no winner or loser, they had enjoyed it.
Hearing that, Gu Ning and Xu Jinchen ceased at once. Leng Shaoting took out tissues to wipe the sweat off Gu Ning’s face, which was quite sweet.
When the compet.i.tion was over, a round of loud applause sounded.
“Jesus! Gu Ning, I didn’t expect that you’re so awesome!” Xu Qinyin jumped in front of Gu Ning with her face full of admiration.
Xu Jinchen had already felt hurt when he couldn’t beat Gu Ning, and now his cousin even showed her obvious admiration towards Gu Ning right in front of him. “I’m not bad either! Why don’t you compliment me?” Xu Jinchen said.
“Come on, you’re a military officer but you failed to beat a young girl!” Xu Qinyin replied.
“You…” Xu Jinchen was annoyed, but he also felt embarra.s.sed.
At this moment, Si Ming remained unusually quiet. He didn’t make fun of Xu Jinchen, because he knew that he would be the same if he fought against Gu Ning. They were the ace members of the national Special Forces, but they couldn’t beat a young girl, which was quiet embarra.s.sing.
“Well-well, it’s time for dinner now. Let’s go to the private room!” Chen Meng didn’t want to expose the fact that he couldn’t beat Gu Ning either, so he immediately changed the topic. After that, they walked to their private room and the onlookers dispersed.
Before the meal, Gu Ning called An Guangyao about the ongoing project. It had all gone well. However, the sky turned dark around 6 pm in winter, so they couldn’t continue measuring without light, and would come back tomorrow. The designer and surveyors would stay until they finished their work, but An Guangyao had to leave tomorrow because he still had a company to manage in City G.
After the meal, Xu Jinchen proposed to go have fun in a club, but Leng Shaoting rejected, because Gu Ning was on her period now and she needed more rest.
“Um, you’re in an uncomfortable condition now, and I was afraid that you’d be bored, so I turned Jinchen down,” Leng Shaoting explained to Gu Ning when they were back in the
car.
“I understand, thanks!” Gu Ning smiled. She of course understood why Leng Shaoting did that, and she felt touched.
On their way back, they pa.s.sed an amus.e.m.e.nt park, and there was a Ferris wheel with all its lights ablaze. Gu Ning suddenly got interested and wanted to play in the amus.e.m.e.nt park. Leng Shaoting of course wouldn’t reject her, even though he thought that amus.e.m.e.nt parks were for children. No matter whether it was in her previous incarnation or this incarnation, Gu Ning had never been to an amus.e.m.e.nt park, so she really wanted to give it a try.
Although it was a winter night, there were many people inside. Leng Shaoting parked the car in the parking lot before he went to buy tickets. In the amus.e.m.e.nt park, many young couples or families were having fun and it was full of children’s cheers.
Gu Ning came into this amus.e.m.e.nt park for the Ferris wheel. So the moment they entered, Gu Ning pulled Leng Shaoting, walking straight to it.
There was a long line for the Ferris wheel, and they were waiting at the end of the line.
“It is said that a couple that takes the Ferris wheel together will end up breaking up,” Gu Ning said.
Hearing that, Leng Shaoting pulled Gu Ning to leave right away. “Then we won’t take it.” He refused to break up with Gu Ning.
“Ha-ha,” Gu Ning snorted with laughter. “However, when the Ferris wheel moves to the highest point and the couple kisses each other, they will be together forever.”
“Really?” Leng Shaoting asked with doubt.
“Yes, if you don’t believe me you can go and ask other people!” Gu Ning felt like laughing. He was really like a cute kid, but anyway, he really loved her a lot.
Leng Shaoting always trusted Gu Ning, but he also took their happiness seriously. “Wait a second,” Leng Shaoting said to Gu Ning, then walked to a nearby worker.
Gu Ning didn’t expect that Leng Shaoting would really go and ask other people. She was surprised as well as amused. And she was also curious whether Leng Shaoting would feel embarra.s.sed when he went to ask others about the kiss.
Leng Shaoting asked the worker and another two visitors, and they all said the same thing.
“Didn’t you feel embarra.s.sed?” Gu Ning asked him when he walked back.
“Not at all,” Leng Shaoting replied. As long as it concerned Gu Ning, he didn’t feel that it was embarra.s.sing at all.
When it was Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting’s turn, they sat in the Ferris wheel together. As the Ferris wheel moved upwards, the noise and cheers on the ground started fading away. It felt like they were the only two people left in this world.
Gu Ning appreciated the beautiful view in front of her eyes, but Leng Shaoting fixed his eyes on her the entire time. “What?” Gu Ning asked.
