Chapter 228

Chapter 228: Don't Be Afraid, I'm Here With You. Qin Yan came alone. He had only been there a few minutes when Chen Yuanyuan arrived. When Qin Yan saw Chen Yuanyuan, his gaze darkened, and he seemed about to say something, but Chen Yuanyuan completely ignored him and said to Zhou Xueluo, "Xueluo, didn't your brother come today?" "My brother said he'd be here soon." Just then, Chen Yuanyuan spotted a man and a woman not far away. "Xueluo, that person over there looks a lot like your brother?" Chen Yuanyuan nudged Zhou Xueluo, pointing into the distance. Zhou Xueluo looked over. "That is my brother." "Who's that girl next to your brother?" Chen Yuanyuan said, shocked. "That's not his girlfriend who's still in college, is it?" Chu Tang, Zhou Xueluo, and Chen Yuanyuan exchanged glances. Before long, Zhou Zheng'an walked up to them with the girl. Qin Yan said with a smile, "Zhengan, aren't you going to introduce us? Who's this?" Zhou Zheng'an smiled. "My girlfriend, Shao Yufei." Shao Yufei was very pretty—long straight black hair, big eyes, fair skin, not very tall, around 1.6 meters, slim, wearing a light blue dress. She looked like a pure, well-behaved good girl. "Hello, everyone." Her voice was soft and sweet, tinged with a hint of nervousness. A total sweetheart, indeed. Everyone smiled and greeted Shao Yufei. None of them had expected Zhou Zheng'an's new girlfriend to be this type of sweet girl. His previous girlfriends—whether celebrities or models—had all been sexy, hot, stunningly beautiful, mature women. This time, he'd actually changed his taste. "Everyone's here. Let's go in." Zhou Xueluo said. They took the VIP entrance, so they didn't have to queue for tickets. Chen Yuanyuan walked at the front, seemingly still upset with Qin Yan, deliberately walking fast to keep her distance from him. Chu Tang and Jiang Shixu walked side by side behind Chen Yuanyuan. Qin Yan followed closely behind, quickening his pace in an attempt to catch up with Chen Yuanyuan at the front. Zhou Xueluo walked behind Qin Yan. Zhou Zheng'an and Shao Yufei walked hand in hand at the very back. "Don't be nervous. They're all easy to get along with." Zhou Zheng'an's tone was incredibly gentle. Shao Yufei gave a soft "mm" in response. Zhou Xueluo, walking ahead, was stunned. Was this really her brother? Was this really her brother? When had he ever been this gentle? In the past, none of Zhou Zheng'an's girlfriends lasted more than three months. Once the novelty wore off, he'd ignore them completely. If one showed up pregnant, he'd just brush her off with a cold check. Zhou Xueluo still remembered two years ago when her brother dated a second-tier actress. That woman was stunningly beautiful, yet even she didn't get any gentleness from her brother—he was still as cold as ice. But this college girl now. Hadn't they been dating for over half a year already? Zhou Xueluo remembered that last year her brother had acted so nonchalant, saying it was just for fun and he wasn't going to marry her. How was it that so much time had passed, and not only had they not broken up, but he'd actually brought her to meet them? Could it be that her brother was serious this time? Tsk, he'd found his true love. Chen Yuanyuan loved thrilling rides and dragged Zhou Xueluo and Ruan Chutang to ride the roller coaster with her. Zhou Xueluo was timid and declined with a smile: "You guys go ahead. I really don't dare. I can handle the jungle train, but the roller coaster would genuinely scare me unconscious." "I'll go with you." Chu Tang smiled. "I like thrilling stuff too." "I'm coming too." Jiang Shixu followed. "Wait for me, I'm coming too." Qin Yan followed. Chen Yuanyuan's lips curved up almost imperceptibly. Qin Yan was a coward. He'd never dared to ride thrilling amusement park rides before. Chen Yuanyuan sat in the very first row—the most thrilling spot. Chu Tang took the second row, leaving the seat next to Chen Yuanyuan for Qin Yan. Jiang Shixu sat down next to Chu Tang. "Tangtang, are you nervous?" "A little." Jiang Shixu's warm hand reached over and held hers. "Don't be afraid. I'm here with you." Chu Tang's heart stirred. She didn't pull her hand away. The roller coaster had barely started moving when Qin Yan began screaming. Chen Yuanyuan, sitting beside him with a calm expression, turned and rolled her eyes. "If you're scared, why did you come? Aren't you just asking for trouble?" Qin Yan: "It's because you like it, otherwise I'd never—ah!" Before he could finish, the roller coaster picked up speed, and Qin Yan screamed at the top of his lungs. Chen Yuanyuan screamed too. The difference was—he screamed in terror, while she screamed in excitement. Jiang Shixu remained perfectly calm, tightly holding Chu Tang's hand. It was his first time on a roller coaster, but he wasn't afraid. Chu Tang's screams were right beside him, carried into his ears along with the wind. Jiang Shixu tightened his grip, silently accompanying Chu Tang. After getting off the roller coaster, Qin Yan vomited violently into a trash can. Chen Yuanyuan stood beside him, patting his back and handing him water. "Why are you so weak? And yet you still love to play?" Qin Yan's face was completely pale—from fright. Zhou Xueluo snickered from the side. Wasn't this just making up? Her plan had really worked. Jiang Shixu opened a bottle of water and handed it to Chu Tang. "Tangtang, have some water." "Thanks." Chu Tang took it and took a couple of sips. "Still dizzy?" Jiang Shixu asked. "Not too bad. Not particularly dizzy." Jiang Shixu said, "Let's take a break for a bit before trying something else." "Mm." While they were on the roller coaster, Zhou Zheng'an accompanied his young girlfriend on the carousel and took several photos of her. "Baby, you're adorable." Zhou Zheng'an flipped through the photos in his phone, smiling at Shao Yufei. Hearing this, Zhou Xueluo and Ruan Chutang exchanged a knowing glance. Tsk, what a rare sight. Zhou Zheng'an actually using such a mushy term like "baby." Jiang Shixu, on the other hand, showed no reaction—his face was expressionless, as if he wasn't surprised in the least. After the roller coaster, Chen Yuanyuan was all excited to go to the maze haunted house next. Qin Yan's face was still deathly pale, and when he heard Yuanyuan wanted to go to the haunted house, his face turned even whiter. Still, he gritted his teeth and followed along. Chu Tang and Jiang Shixu went too. Zhou Xueluo still didn't dare to go, so she found a café to sit and rest in. This time, Zhou Zheng'an and Shao Yufei also joined them. The moment they stepped into the haunted house— Qin Yan immediately grabbed Chen Yuanyuan's hand. "Yuanyuan, I'm scared." Chen Yuanyuan: "..." Qin Yan edged closer to Chen Yuanyuan. "Don't walk so fast. What if a ghost snatches me away?" Chen Yuanyuan said irritably, "Those are all people in costumes. What's there to be afraid of?"
