Chapter 126
Lu Lingchuan did not answer; he simply walked inward, where there were things other than plush toys.
Clothing area, shoe area, bag area.
Lu Lingchuan led Shen Nian towards the clothing area, pointing at the first row of two items of clothing with the same style but different sizes: "Couple outfits."
He said, "I want to wear a couple outfit."
Indeed, one of the 100 things they had to do was [Stroll while wearing a couple outfit].
Shen Nian glanced at the clothes, then looked at Lu Lingchuan half skeptically: "You... sure you want to wear that now?"
It wasn't that she didn't want to wear it; the clothes sold in amusement park gift shops were mostly cute styles, and Shen Nian could hardly imagine Lu Lingchuan wearing a couple outfit, with an adorable bear head in the front.
Lu Lingchuan insisted, "I want to wear it."
"......" Alright then.
Among the various styles of couple shirts, Shen Nian picked and chose, eventually settling on a khaki-colored long-sleeved hoodie set.
As the weather grew colder, these couple hoodies were thin and fuzzy, just right to wear without an outer coat.
The color wasn't bad; the women's had an oversized, super cute cartoon doll printed on the front, while the men's doll was a bit smaller, with enlarged letters.
Cute, yet not overly cute.
Shen Nian picked up the hanger, holding the two hoodies up against herself, her bright eyes fixed on Lu Lingchuan: "How about these?"
Lu Lingchuan nodded, unhesitatingly praising: "They look good."
Everything she picked looked good.
With no objections, the two settled on this outfit, paid for it first, then changed into it in the store's changing room.
When Shen Nian saw Lu Lingchuan in the khaki hoodie, her eyes lit up.
The man's looks were naturally not lacking; his chiseled features were distinct, his handsome face exquisite, with slender eyes beneath his sword-like brows that looked at Shen Nian with deep affection.
Even just wearing a hoodie and cargo pants, his slender waist and straight long legs were outlined impeccably.
Stripped of his formal suit, this hoodie color made him look much younger, like a fresh university graduate.
To avoid being recognized by acquaintances, they kept their masks on.
Even with his face covered, his height and figure still made him the focus of attention wherever he went.
Lu Lingchuan tugged at his own clothes, looking at Shen Nian and asking, "Does it look good?"
Lu Lingchuan successfully moved Shen Nian to the front of the line, then tapped the next person's shoulder and said the same thing.
Like that, in less than three minutes, they went from last in line to first.
The staff working there were utterly dumbfounded.
This... you couldn't say they didn't cut the line, because they did; but you also couldn't say they cut the line, since the people in front willingly gave up their spots.
Let's just say, it's great to have money.
Successfully reaching the front of the line, Lu Lingchuan pocketed his phone with satisfaction.
Shen Nian silently glanced at the dozen or so people behind them—a few thousand yuan would cover it.
She couldn't help but remark, "Actually... even without cutting the line, we would have been able to get on."
There weren't that many people in front.
However, Lu Lingchuan calmly retorted, "If money can solve it, I don't like to waste time."
"......" Alright, privilege of having money.
Just then, the Ferris wheel completed a full rotation, and the passengers started disembarking one by one.
Once most people had disembarked, the staff opened the gate blocking Shen Nian and Lu Lingchuan, telling them, "You can board now."
The Ferris wheel car had lowered to the bottom, and the two took their seats, closing the door behind them.
The Ferris wheel looked different from the outside than from the inside—from the outside it was beautiful, while sitting inside was peaceful and quiet.
Shen Nian sat in her seat, silently watching as their car slowly rose higher, going from seeing nothing to viewing the entire amusement park's evening scenery, looking down upon the city's twinkling lights.
She stared off into space, only snapping out of it when she noticed Lu Lingchuan fiddling with his phone, fixated on something.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Nian couldn't help but ask.
From the moment she noticed, it seemed that Lu Lingchuan was very mindful of the time.
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingchuan's gaze shifted from his phone, and he stared at her, asking, "Do you still remember the dream you mentioned the last time we were on the Ferris wheel?"
"I remember," Shen Nian nodded.
She clearly recalled the scene from six years ago, the first time she and Lu Lingchuan rode the Ferris wheel.
At that time, she leaned against the observation cabin, gazing at the twinkling lights outside.
She said—
"I hope that one of those countless lights is shining for me."
