Li Jianyue had not been to the mini amusement park for a long time.

  She immersed herself in the activities, blocking out everything else.

  Li Jianyue licked her ice cream cheerfully. Now and then, she would turn her head to look around at the passersby. A man and a woman, in particular, caught her attention. The pair were quite clearly lovers. They were kissing by the side of the road. She leaned over to Li Mosen and quietly said, “Brother Mosen, look to your left. A couple is kissing.”


  Li Mosen looked at the couple. The young boy and the girl appeared to be new lovers. The girl pushed the boy away and ran off, blushing.

  The boy quickly gave chase and yelled, “Wait up! Don’t be angry!”


  This boy……

  Li Jianyue burst out laughing. “I’m certain that girl won’t be angry,” she declared.

  Li Mosen watched the sweet couple run into the distance. He turned back and looked at Li Jianyue. With a stony expression, he asked, “Why do you say that?”


  Li Jianyue didn’t detect the change in Li Mosen’s demeanor. Her pink tongue was busy licking the darker shade of pink strawberry ice cream. “Because that young lady likes that young man! She wouldn’t have come out with him otherwise or even kissed him!” she said, grinning. “If she didn’t like him, she would have slapped him across the cheek and run away crying.”


  As she spoke, Li Jianyue was convinced of her logic and looked pleased with herself.

  Li Mosen looked at her intensely. “We’re two people out here together too.”


  Li Jianyue continued licking her ice cream. “That’s different. They’re lovers. We’re siblings.”


  Li Mosen’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Li Jianyue say that. “Siblings.” He couldn’t help repeating the word softly to himself.

  Li Jianyue didn’t hear him. She continued to look around. After the last mouthful of ice cream, she pulled Li Mosen by his hand and exclaimed, “I want to ride the pirate ship!” Her eyes shifted to him. “Are you coming with me?”


  Li Mosen had always brought her to the amusement park. But he had never once gone on any rides with her.

  Li Jianyue had often teased him, calling him timid and that he didn’t even dare attempt something as harmless as going on the small rides.

  But no matter how many times Li Jianyue teased, she couldn’t get him to change his mind. Li Mosen was firm in his decision. He won’t go on any of the rides.

  Li Jianyue had thought Li Mosen would turn her down this time too. She decided she would go on the pirated ship alone if need be. Li Mosen heard the people on the pirate ship scream their lungs out. He also noticed a couple squeezing each other’s hands. “All right,” he said unexpectedly.

  Li Jianyue’s eyes lit up, and she gave a little cheer. She quickly pulled him and ran over to the pirate ship. She was afraid that Li Mosen might change his mind at the slightest chance.

  Li Jianyue dragged him along as she ran. She didn’t stop screaming for the whole of the ride on the pirate ship. She held on to Li Mosen’s hand, refusing to let go.

  Li Mosen squeezed her hand tightly and asked, “Are you afraid?”


  Li Jianyue immediately yelled out loud, “Of course! Ahhhhhhhhh–!”


  Li Mosen was speechless.

  Li Jianyue was screaming in excitement when they were on the pirate ship. Now she claims she was afraid. He was at a loss as to what to do with her.

  After they had got off, Li Jianyue couldn’t stop laughing. She spun around in circles, feeling carefree and happy. “Brother Mosen, were you so frightened just now that you didn’t even dare to scream?”


  Li Mosen smiled. “Yeah, it was terrifying.”


  “Hmph!” Li Jianyue was not impressed. “Can’t you even be convincing?”


  “Should I tremble, then?”


  Li Jianyue refused to back down. She rolled her eyes. Mischievously, she led him to the giant Pendulum ride. With an arrogant look on her face, she challenged Li Mosen. “Would you dare take a ride on this?”
