Chapter 98

Chapter 98

Ask the world what love is? When you are on the Ferris Wheel, just being able to look after your own girlfriend is good enough.

Qi Qi, who had no idea what was coming, and Ding Ye, who had already resigned himself to his fate, sat down on the Ferris Wheel.

Ding Ye glanced at the safety rope hidden behind the seat and let out a silent sigh.

His body tensed up despite himself.

Beside him, Qi Qi frowned. “I don’t bite!”

Ding Ye shook his head. “I’m just a little nervous.”

Hearing that, Qi Qi merely nodded calmly.

Honestly, it was entirely possible that a grown man like Ding Ye had never ridden a Ferris Wheel before.

After all, in most people’s eyes, this kind of thing was something girls liked.

The only problem was that now, the moment she saw Ding Ye, she remembered that scene from earlier where she had been crying and sniffling all over the place.

And the more she thought about how he had witnessed every second of that social-death moment, the more depressed she became.

As the Ferris Wheel started moving, Qi Qi had already begun contemplating the feasibility of murdering him in midair to silence him forever.

Ding Ye did not notice the increasingly dangerous look beside him at all. He kept calming himself down, preparing to face the trial ahead.

Soon, a sudden change interrupted Qi Qi’s thoughts of high-altitude homicide.

The ground grew farther and farther away in her field of vision, and the seat began to tilt continuously.

The cabin door opened, and a gust of cold wind rushed in at once.

“Wh-what’s going on?”

The moment she spoke, the seat behind them shot straight toward the open cabin door.

Ding Ye had spent a full five minutes mentally preparing himself, only to realize in the end that it had been completely useless.

Feeling the speed brought on by the chaotic, unpredictable motion, Ding Ye simply went limp in his seat.

I’m tired. Let the world end.

Beside him, Qi Qi was stunned senseless by the wild, disorderly impact.

Am I riding a Ferris Wheel?

I should be, right?

Then what is this overturned Ferris Wheel nonsense?

This guy beside me must have known about this already, right?

And he didn’t even warn me?

The tears and snot she had only just cleaned up not long ago went flying out again.

As they brushed past another couple, two little peanuts were sent into the glass cabin.

Ding Ye glanced at the seat beneath him and was just about to remind Qi Qi that it was not over yet.

Who would have thought that the girl would sniffle and look at him with an expression full of grievance?

Ding Ye: ???

What are you feeling wronged for?

You’re the one who dragged me here to play, okay?

I’m the victim here!

Qi Qi: Stare!

He didn’t warn me and watched me make a fool of myself. This person is way too awful!

Before the atmosphere could move to the next level, a powerful thrust suddenly surged over them.

Qi Qi did not even have time to react before she was launched into the air.

Ding Ye forced himself to endure the trembling and stretched out one hand, preparing to protect the girl a little.

But when he saw the snot and tears on her face, he silently pulled his hand back again.

The voice Qi Qi had been suppressing for so long finally burst out.

“Help help help help help!”

Ding Ye did not make a sound. He curled up into a ball, waiting for the Ferris Wheel to end.

Qi Qi beside him, however, was not having nearly as much fun. Ding Ye, who was in front, had curled himself up.

That meant she had to bear more of the wind resistance and terror, and the thrill was multiplied as well.

It was like how the experience in the first row and the second row of a Roller Coaster were completely different.

At that moment, she regretted it countless times in her heart. Why had she listened to Old Qi and come to this lousy place?

Why had she tempted death by riding this Ferris Wheel?

Why had she not managed to kill this blind date of hers in advance?

Under the high-speed movement, Qi Qi could not even make it to the second round before she fainted outright.

Ding Ye ignored everything and hugged his knees, burying his head tightly between his legs.

If one listened carefully, one could even hear him chanting in a low voice, “Palace jade liquor…”

The Ferris Wheel did not run for long. Ding Ye soon returned to the glass cabin.
Looking at the girl beside him, Ding Ye felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart.

No need to think about it. Once he got home tonight, he was dead.

Making your blind date faint was already a disaster of epic proportions.

But what if she fainted twice?

The doctor quickly refilled an entire box of Suxiao Jiuxin Wan and hurried over to the Ferris Wheel.

One cabin door after another opened, and one group of visitors after another was checked.

Not bad. The men this round had made some progress. At least fifteen percent of them had fainted while hugging their dates, choosing to go down together.

When the last cabin door opened, the doctor froze with his stethoscope in hand.

Why do I feel like I just saw this girl?

She looks so familiar!

Where did I see her again?

Could she be a twin?

Who on earth would be bored enough to ride several attractions in a row?

Beside her, Ding Ye was trembling. When he saw the doctor stop, his already pale face went rigid.

Holy crap, did something happen?

“Wh-what’s wrong?”

The doctor shook his head, throwing the strange thought out of his mind.

When Ding Ye saw him shake his head, he nearly burst into tears.

A perfectly good girl couldn’t really be gone, could she?

But when he saw the doctor stuff a pill into Qi Qi’s mouth, he finally let out a breath of relief.

Then it was fine. Suxiao Jiuxin Wan, right? He knew this stuff well!

After feeding her the medicine, the doctor pulled over a stretcher cart with one hand and dragged Qi Qi onto it.

“Can you still walk?”

Ding Ye gave it a try, then finally shook his head.

Forget it. He gave up struggling.

The doctor calmly helped Ding Ye up and put him on the cart as well.

Since they had been in the same glass cabin anyway, he might as well ship them off together.

Seeing there was nothing left for him to do, the employee at the side silently put away the cart, turned around, and began receiving the next round of couples.

Ding Ye stayed beside Qi Qi as they lay in the Morgue.

He did want to take this chance to simply run away.

Unfortunately, his legs were so weak he didn’t have the slightest opportunity.

Qi Qi had only been asleep for five minutes before she slowly woke up.

She stared at Ding Ye beside her for more than ten seconds before finally remembering what had happened.

“Ahem. Um, if you’re all right, should we call it a day?”

Qi Qi tentatively opened her mouth, only to realize that after screaming too loudly, she couldn’t make a sound at all.

Ding Ye looked at the girl in front of him and felt a headache coming on.

“Then… I’ll go?”

Qi Qi: stare…

“Tell me, what exactly do you want?”

Qi Qi: stare!

Cold sweat had already appeared on Ding Ye’s forehead. “If you have something to say, say it properly. You’re making me panic by looking at me like that!”

Qi Qi: You stupid idiot, I can’t talk right now! It’s been this long and you still don’t know to buy me a cup of water?

The two of them stared at each other for a full minute before Ding Ye finally belatedly realized that this girl might want some water.

Could he really be blamed for that?

He had been single since birth for over twenty years. If he could understand women that well, would he still be single now?

“Wait here. I’ll go buy two ora-some orange drinks.”

At the very last moment, his damned survival instinct forcibly dragged his IQ back online.

He shook his still-weak legs and, step by step, held on to the railing as he made his way toward the chef’s pushcart.

Qi Qi finally withdrew her gaze and lifted a still-trembling hand to touch her face.

Her hand instantly froze.

The light makeup on her face was long gone.

Tear tracks mixed with unidentified substances covered her entire face.

???

In other words, I was lying here in this state for who knows how long?

Looking in the direction Ding Ye had left, she silently began praying in her heart.

Please. I’m begging you. Please let that idiot bring me back a pack of tissues.
