Initially, Zhang Yu Han was happy that Li Qin Yao's friend was understanding enough to gave them a chance to be alone. However, as Zhang Yu Han glanced at the woman beside him, he did not know whether he should laugh or cry.
The two of them have been walking around the park for half an hour, but so far, Li Qin Yao has been studying at the parks' layout and rides while taking photos here and there. Sometimes, she would turn to him and asked his opinion.
His girlfriend had said that she was going to visit the amusement park in L City in preparation for the development project, and true to her words, she came to the park to work.
He wondered if he was dating a workaholic.
Not that he minded about it. Zhang Yu Han thought that as long as he can to spend his time with his girlfriend, and see her whenever he turned around, he would be satisfied.
It will be just like the last time where the two of them spent their time in the office.
Moreover, this time, he got to walk around while holding her hand. Li Qin Yao's hand was small and soft as compared to his.
While Li Qin Yao was busy looking around, Zhang Yu Han has been studying his girlfriend's small hand. He held her hand tight, and then, moved to interlace their hands together, and soon stealthily measure their hands together.
Zhang Yu Han was busy studying Li Qin Yao's nails when he noticed that they were standing in front of an intersection.
He looked at the signboard and saw that there were three different attractions upfront. One road would lead to the mirror house, one to the haunted house and the other one would lead to the carnival games area.
Zhang Yu Han turned to his girlfriend and raised his brow. "You wanted to visit the haunted house?"
Li Qin Yao turned and shook her head. "Let's not go."
Zhang Yu Han hid his disappointment. He thought that going to a haunted house would bring them much closer. Then, he can play a role as a knight, protecting his princess. But it looked like he would not get this chance.
"You're afraid?"
Li Qin Yao laughed. "Actually, in the past, Yue Xiu and I went to a haunted house in a carnival after we graduated high school," she lowered her head in embarrassment. "There was a ghost who appeared out of nowhere. Because I was too shocked, I accidentally punch the ghost on his face. Who knows, that a real person was disguising as a ghost."
Zhang Yu Han stared at his girlfriend in shock. "You really hit a person?"
"Hmm," Li Qin Yao nodded slowly. "The result is that the person had his nose bleed and bot Yue Xiu and I was banned from going to the haunted house again. After that, I never stepped into a haunted house again."
Zhang Yu Han let out a small laugh.
"Don't laugh."
His laughter immediately stopped, but a smile remained. "Then, where do you want to go next? Are you planning to walk around and not try any rides in this park?"
"Of course not. Later let's go and ride the sky ride before we join Yun Xi and your sister and head back to the hotel."
Zhang Yu Han's expression brightened up. He had read a bit about the sky ride earlier and knew that it was popular among young couples.
"I heard from Yun Xi earlier that if we ride the cable car, we will be able to see the whole view of the park. It'll be best to get some idea from a different perspective."
His girlfriend's last sentence really made him wanted to cry. In the end, Li Qin Yao was dedicated to her work.
"Are you tired? Do you want to take a break first?" Li Qin Yao asked.
Her questions turned him speechless. Weren't those were the questions that he was supposed to ask?
"I'm fine." He spotted an empty bench not far away from them and led her towards the direction. "You should sit down for a while. I'll get us something to drink. What do you like?"
Li Qin Yao tilted her head up. Because of Zhang Yu Han's height, he managed to block the sunlight from her face. "Juice. Any kind of juice is fine."
Zhang Yu Han nodded before he walked away to buy some drinks. When he returned with drinks and some snacks, Zhang Yu Han caught the sight of Li Qin Yao massaging her calf.
A frown appeared between his brow.
Earlier, when Li Qin Yao was asking whether he was tired, Zhang Yu Han did not think too much about it. Fortunately, he had suggested she sit down for a while, or else, would she continue to walk around?
Though he wanted for her to be able to speak freely with him, Zhang Yu Han realized that he too was acting the same. If it was not about work, they would always conceal their thoughts.
If he wanted to go forward, he needed to take the first step. They cannot continue to keep guessing at each other's thoughts.
Zhang Yu Han let out a sigh before he walked over to the bench.
Once Li Qin Yao noticed his approaching, she immediately stopped whatever she was doing and smiled at him.
Zhang Yu Han sat down next to her and hand over the cup of juice. "I got you some orange juice and some cinnamon donut puff, is this alright?"
Li Qin Yao took the cup and the bag of donut Then, she drank a few mouthfuls of juice. Then, she turned to Zhang Yu Han. "Would you like some?"
"You drink first," Zhang Yu Han said. He lowered his head to look at her legs and hesitated. "If you're tired, I can help massage your legs for you."
Li Qin Yao, who was in the middle of drinking her juice almost chocked on her drink. "It's fine now." She lowered her head. Li Qin Yao did not expect that Zhang Yu Han had seen her kneading her calf earlier. She continued to sip on her juice slowly and stared at the man beside her.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
"I was thinking," Li Qin Yao put a hand under her chin and rested her elbow on her thigh. "Is it too late to accept your offer?"
Zhang Yu Han chuckled. Then he patted his thigh. "Put your legs here."
Li Qin Yao carefully put her legs over his thigh and avoiding her shoes from hitting his pants.
"Where are you hurting?"
"My calves."
Once Zhang Yu Han put his hand on her legs, Li Qin Yao let out an inaudible sigh.
"Comfortable?"
"Un." Li Qin Yao nodded and smiled. "You're pretty good at this."
"Sometimes, I injured myself while playing basketball. And then, I learned a bit about massage."
"So that's why." Li Qin Yao's face brightened up as something crossed her mind. "Right. Zhang Yu Han, let's head over to the carnival games area after this."
