Su Ruiyi, acting out of character, invited Emmanuel out.
Mrs. Su: "To the amusement park? That's wonderful. You take Emmanuel and have a good time. There's a fireworks show tonight, they say it's spectacular!"
Su Ruiyi turned her head to look at the young foreigner in their home. "Do you like it?"
Emmanuel was naturally very willing. Like Mrs. Su, he was a little surprised by Su Ruiyi's sudden change in attitude. But feeling accepted by Su Ruiyi, he assumed she was genuinely moved by his pursuit of the young lady.
Emmanuel: "I do. I haven't been to an amusement park in a long time."
Su Ruiyi: "That's great, let's go now."
Emmanuel and Mrs. Su said in unison, "Now?"
Su Ruiyi had already gotten up from the dining table, looking a little displeased.
Su Ruiyi: "The amusement park is so big. If we don't go early, how will we have time to play everything?"
Mrs. Su: "Alright, Butler, Butler, come here!"
Butler: "Madam, what are your instructions?"
Mrs. Su: "Arrange for a car to take Emmanuel and Yiyi to the amusement park."
Butler: "Yes, Madam."
Su Ruiyi: "What about you, are you coming with us?"
Mrs. Su: "No, I have other things to do. You two go have fun."
Su Ruiyi gave Mrs. Su a feigned smile and then ran upstairs quickly.
As she ran, she shouted to Emmanuel, who was still standing there stunned, "Wear the clothes I bought you. I'll give you ten minutes to get ready, and I'll see you in the car!"
Emmanuel and Mrs. Su were both very puzzled. A nanny then brought a hooded sweatshirt printed with cartoon characters to Emmanuel. 138 Reading Network
Emmanuel: "What is this?"
Nanny: "Miss said for you to change into it."
Emmanuel changed his clothes and waited in the car, but Su Ruiyi was late. It wasn't ten minutes; he waited for her for a full half hour.
But the moment he saw Su Ruiyi get into the car, his heart was filled with joy.
It turned out they were wearing matching outfits, and Su Ruiyi had also dressed up.
For the amusement park, she had specially applied candy makeup, drawing a small star on her face, and even wore cute braided pigtails.
Su Ruiyi: "Hold out your hand."
Emmanuel obediently complied. Su Ruiyi took out something that looked like a sticker and wet it with water.
Emmanuel: "What is this?"
Su Ruiyi pulled at her collar, revealing a colorful drawing on her collarbone.
Su Ruiyi: "It's the same as mine."
Emmanuel: "When did you get it?"
Su Ruiyi carefully peeled off the paper, and a pattern identical to the one on Su Ruiyi's collarbone appeared on Emmanuel's hand.
Su Ruiyi: "Haven't seen it before? You foreigners are sometimes so uncouth. It's a tattoo sticker."
Emmanuel: "How magical."
Su Ruiyi patted the driver's seat.
Su Ruiyi: "Let's go!"
On the way, Emmanuel kept sneakily glancing at Su Ruiyi with curiosity. He had never seen a girl dress herself up so cutely; she looked like a maiden straight out of a manga.
Su Ruiyi seemed to notice Emmanuel's gaze and took off one earbud, handing it to him.
Emmanuel took the earbud and put it in his ear. Upbeat music filled his mind, and what made his heart beat even faster was that Su Ruiyi had actively extended her hand.
With only a narrow gap between them, Emmanuel took Su Ruiyi's hand. He secretly took a deep breath, hoping Su Ruiyi wouldn't notice.
But at this moment, Su Ruiyi was only looking out the window, no longer paying attention to the nervous Emmanuel.
They finally arrived at the amusement park. The queue was very long, but Su Ruiyi, as a VIP, took Emmanuel, his bodyguards, and his special attendant through the exclusive channel.
Emmanuel: "Where should we start?"
Su Ruiyi: "Are you brave?"
Emmanuel: "Of course. I'm not afraid of anything."
Su Ruiyi smiled mischievously and pulled Emmanuel towards the most thrilling vertical roller coaster.
This roller coaster could be called one of the most exciting attractions in the entire park. With an 80-meter drop, equivalent to a 26-story building, a single dive would instantly bring passengers to the ground in less than three seconds, giving them no time to react.
Just listening to the decibel level of the terrified screams from other tourists was enough proof of how perilous this roller coaster was.
As they were about to join the queue, Emmanuel's special attendant squeezed over to him and whispered something in his ear.
But Emmanuel smiled and patted the attendant's shoulder, seemingly unconcerned.
However, the attendant's expression was extremely tense. Emmanuel had mentioned to Mrs. Su that ever since his heart condition, the attendant had been by his side to be prepared for any eventuality.
Su Ruiyi: "Oh, right. You can't ride this, can you?"
Emmanuel: "It's okay. I've ridden them in France."
Su Ruiyi looked at the attendant and then, looking very dejected, nudged Emmanuel.
Su Ruiyi: "Let's not then. If something happens, I can't bear the responsibility."
Su Ruiyi was about to walk away when Emmanuel grabbed her.
Having dressed in matching outfits with Su Ruiyi and coming to the amusement park together had already made him ecstatic. If he couldn't let Su Ruiyi have a good time, he would blame himself.
Emmanuel ignored the attendant's dissuasion and insisted on pulling Su Ruiyi onto the roller coaster. Although he was very nervous, he acted excited.
The staff confirmed the safety locks were fastened. As the train slowly ascended, Su Ruiyi proactively held Emmanuel's hand.
Su Ruiyi: "When we plunge down, just scream. You won't be afraid when you scream!"
Emmanuel: "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid..."
Su Ruiyi: "Thank you."
Emmanuel: "What?"
Before Emmanuel could get a good look at Su Ruiyi's face, the car stopped with a clang at its highest point.
Everyone was startled. The timid ones had already closed their eyes. Looking down, it truly resembled a bottomless abyss.
Su Ruiyi: "Remember to scream!"
Emmanuel secretly glanced at the ground. The people below were so tiny that he couldn't tell if they were people or ants. Emmanuel took deep breaths. This was his first time riding a roller coaster.
Suddenly, the car moved. It was like a strong wind whistling past as they plummeted downwards. Emmanuel didn't know if he had screamed, only hearing countless screams drowning out the sound in his ears.
Su Ruiyi tightly gripped Emmanuel's hand. As they descended, she shouted Ou Yunchen's name, and his image filled her mind. It seemed only by calling his name could she find infinite courage.
Until the train entered the tunnel, everyone gasped, their voices hoarse, exclaiming how thrilling it was.
The special attendant rushed over. Emmanuel's face was pale. As he was helped down, he felt a bit of vertigo and couldn't stand steady.
Attendant: "Sir, are you alright?"
Emmanuel didn't look at the attendant. He kept holding Su Ruiyi's hand, and then they looked at each other and smiled. It seemed his heart condition had not been triggered.
Su Ruiyi: "Want to play more?"
Emmanuel: "Let's go."
And so, Su Ruiyi pulled Emmanuel onto several other top-ranked thrilling rides. Emmanuel, despite his discomfort, mustered his courage and accompanied Su Ruiyi on the ups and downs.
When they reached the bungee jumping platform, the special attendant noticed Emmanuel's complexion wasn't right. As she reached out to steady him, unnoticed by anyone, Emmanuel suddenly clutched his chest and fainted.
The attendant immediately stepped forward to check him and then called for people to quickly take Emmanuel away.
But Su Ruiyi stood frozen, watching indifferently as Emmanuel was carried away. She then looked back at the bungee jump behind her.
All the thrilling rides today were ones she hadn't tried before, but she had brought him here knowing full well that Emmanuel had a heart condition.
Or perhaps, when she realized Ou Yunchen had intentionally arranged for Emmanuel to pursue her, she had harbored a hint of hatred. She wanted revenge on both of them.
She posted a photo with Emmanuel on her social media. Matching couple's outfits, identical tattoos, and intimate poses seemed to announce to everyone that they were dating.
At the same time, she wanted to punish Emmanuel because he was so presumptuous!
He knew he would never be in Su Ruiyi's heart, yet he still insisted on trying.
So, let him try, because all the arrangements today were things Su Ruiyi had wanted to do with Ou Yunchen. She knew Ou Yunchen wouldn't be afraid; he would protect her!
Suddenly, two people's screams came from above. Their cries seemed to awaken Su Ruiyi from her reverie.
Perhaps Ou Yunchen would never go to an amusement park with her, but she so desperately wished to bungee jump with Ou Yunchen just once.
Because she had once heard a rumor.
The fastest way to fall in love with someone is to bungee jump with them.
