Chapter 126: It’s Fine if I Ride Twice! (Extra Chapter for Messi’s Victory)

Mei Fang and Xia Xun came over with bubble tea, chatting and laughing. Xia Yuan watched from afar, feeling very curious.

“What are you two talking about? You look so happy.”

Mei Fang chimed in, “You don’t need to know, this is a man’s secret.”

“You and Dad, what kind of secrets could you have…”

Xia Yuan rolled her eyes at Mei Fang, then took the bubble tea from his hand, “Just two cups? If Dad doesn’t drink it, that’s fine, but why aren’t you drinking either?”

“I don’t need it. It would just be troublesome to carry.”

Mei Fang had always been quite self-disciplined. Although he didn’t exercise much, he was very careful with his diet and always remembered to drink milk and supplement protein.

Therefore, his skin was well-maintained, free of acne, and he was taller than before. He had also undergone necessary check-ups and surgeries, which were advantages brought by his rebirth in childhood. This allowed him to better shape himself.

“Are you afraid you’ll throw up later? Hahaha…”

Ignoring Xia Yuan’s teasing, Mei Fang handed the other cup to Lin You Xi, “Hurry up and go play. We still have to take the car back tonight.”

“Let’s go!”

Xia Yuan grabbed Lin You Xi’s hand and ran forward joyfully. As they entered the park, they saw a roller coaster looping overhead. The high-altitude tracks were complex and winding, with the excited screams of the tourists echoing.

How tall it is…

As Mei Fang was complaining, Xia Yuan turned around first,

“Let’s play this one first! This is the Speedy Car, the signature roller coaster of Jiangcheng Amusement Park! Dad, do you want to try?”

Xia Xun shook his head, “You guys go ahead. I’m not going to ride.”

Actually, if he came alone with his daughter, he would be willing to share this parent-child time. However, if Yuan Yuan insisted on joining him, he wouldn’t mind either…

After all, Yuan Yuan’s childhood was spent in various talent classes. Now, looking back, as a father, he hadn’t really enjoyed spending time with his daughter—

“Yeah, that’s perfect. Can you help us hold our stuff? And remember to take pictures for us!”

“Oh… Sure.”

Xia Xun smiled on the surface but felt bitter inside.

Three people playing together…

When Mei Fang was worried about the seating arrangement while queuing, he saw that this roller coaster had four seats per row, which relieved him.

“Who sits in the middle?”

“Of course, it’s Ah Fang,” Xia Yuan patted Mei Fang’s shoulder, “I and You Xi want to see your embarrassed face.”

“Ha, who do you think I am?”

Unlike Lin You Xi, this wasn’t Mei Fang’s first time at the amusement park. In his previous life, when he was in college, he was a regular visitor here.

He usually came with several roommates.

Although the roller coasters and drop towers made him dizzy, at least he wasn’t a complete novice, and there was nothing to fear.

Yes, there was nothing to fear!

“Afang, hurry up and sit down! What are you waiting for!”

Under Xia Yuan’s urging, Mei Fang sat on the roller coaster.

“Is there only one seatbelt?”

Lin You Xi felt a bit unbelievable, “We’re sliding down from such a high place at an angle, it doesn’t seem very safe…”

“Don’t worry! When we start, the safety bar will come down, that’s the most important safety measure.”

Xia Yuan had only played here a few times when she was young, but since she was just a child then, she could only ride the children’s roller coaster and carousel. This time, she seemed particularly excited, holding her chest and taking a deep breath, “There will be a photo opportunity at the highest point. Make sure you pose well.”

“Okay… I’ll try my best.”

“Eh, Afang, are you really scared?”

Xia Yuan patted Mei Fang’s thigh, “If you’re scared, just hold onto my hand, that way it will be fine—”

Just as she said this, she noticed that Lin You Xi was already holding Mei Fang’s hand. Both of them lowered their heads silently, waiting for the final judgment. So, she didn’t think too much and directly held Mei Fang’s hand and placed it on her leg.

The roller coaster slowly started.

Oh, oh, oh!

Both Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi clearly felt Mei Fang gripping their hands tightly.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Listen to me when we get to the top, let’s raise our hands together, okay?”

The roller coaster slowly moved uphill, and Xia Yuan emitted a long, drawn-out scream.

“You Xi, remember to raise your hands! Three, two, one—Yay—”

Mei Fang’s memory of riding the roller coaster was like a blank space. When he got off, he felt dizzy, and his legs were still wobbly. Xia Yuan immediately lost her teasing thoughts and only comforted him softly.

“That was pretty fun.”

Lin You Xi was initially nervous like Mei Fang, but after adapting to the rhythm, she became very excited. The three of them waited in front of the exit hall at the souvenir shop for the photos to print and stayed a bit longer, “If the queue wasn’t so long, I’d really want to ride again.”

“Yeah, yeah, it was great!”

Xia Yuan hugged Mei Fang close to her chest, smiling and patting his head, “But… I think today’s Afang was even more fun than the roller coaster…”

The following experiences were a time of wild fun with Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi pulling Mei Fang along.

“Afang, look! That’s the Drop Tower! Let’s go!”

“Woah, that’s the Big Swing! Is that the Sun Chariot?”

“Afang, the surfing漂流 seems pretty fun over there!”

“There’s a haunted house… Do you want to give it a try?” Mei Fang patted his chest; haunted houses were his specialty, “I can lead the way!”

“Good, good! Let Afang show off!”

Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi pushed Mei Fang into the haunted house.

The three of them came out of the haunted house.

…

Their expressions were listless.

“This haunted house is so boring.”

“Indeed! Never queue up for this again, it’s really uninteresting.”

The three reached a consensus.

Everyone had played enough, and Xia Yuan felt very happy and content today.

“Afang, today was really fun.”

Xia Yuan said to Mei Fang with her hands behind her back, “I never thought Afang had such an interesting side. It’s good you came along.”

“Hmm…”

Mei Fang didn’t respond directly, but when he looked away, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

Yuan Yuan and You Xi must think I’m a coward right now, huh?

Haha, you didn’t expect that!

Boring, I was just pretending.

Mei Fang didn’t want to appear perfect in everything because that might make Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi feel he didn’t need them or that he could do well without them.

So, today he deliberately showed his clumsy and embarrassed side in front of Yuan Yuan and You Xi, which was also a way to show care and closeness.

Moreover, when he was comforted by Yuan Yuan and You Xi (mainly Yuan Yuan), the experience was still very fulfilling!

Just as Mei Fang was enjoying the satisfaction of today’s plan, Xia Yuan suddenly pointed at a nearby attraction.

“Oh, there’s another roller coaster. Do you want to queue up and try it?”

“It doesn’t look very thrilling… But the track below seems to be made entirely of wood? Are they real logs?”

“Yes, this is also a signature attraction called Wooden Winged Dragons. Although it may not be as fast as the Speedy Car, it should still be quite interesting.”

Xia Yuan and Lin You Xi looked at Mei Fang, who had already looked away.

“Oh, there seems to be a performance there. If we don’t go now, we might miss it. How about we watch the performance first?”

“What’s so interesting about a performance? Let’s go on the roller coaster first. It might stop operating soon.” Xia Yuan patted Mei Fang’s shoulder, “Afang, it’s fine. You’ve already tried so much today. If you’re really scared, Xia Yuan and You Xi can ride together.”

“I’ve accompanied you so many times already. You actually think I’m scared.”

Mei Fang looked at the distant roller coaster and couldn’t help but laugh, “Hmph, this? I can ride it twice.”

The three went to queue for the Wooden Winged Dragons. The line was very short, and they could get on immediately.

“But each row only seats two people. What should we do? Leaving Afang behind makes me a bit uneasy…”

Xia Yuan asked Lin You Xi, “Who should sit with Afang? Actually, I’m fine with either, it depends on what You Xi thinks.”

Lin You Xi shook her head, “Let’s play rock-paper-scissors. The winner rides with Afang.”

“No, no, no… Rock-paper-scissors won’t work!”

Xia Yuan was unlucky at guessing and refused to do it.

“Right, Afang said he could ride twice, right? Then let’s decide who rides with him first, and then Afang can ride with the other person later, isn’t that fine?”

Lin You Xi nodded, “Okay, Yuan Yuan goes first, I’ll wait.”

“Hey… Why didn’t you two discuss with me?”

“You could have said you could ride twice. Are you bluffing? If you can’t do it, don’t force yourself.”

Xia Yuan’s words instantly raised Mei Fang’s blood pressure.

“How could I not be able to! I was just pretending to be scared earlier to make you all happy. Can’t you tell—”

“That’s great! Come on, let’s ride it first!”

Xia Yuan held Mei Fang’s hand and sat on the Wooden Winged Dragons.
