es when he looked at Lu Yaoyao. It was a mixture of pride and joy, knowing that no matter where he took her, she would quickly be liked by everyone.This seems to be her innate and unique energy, it's...Lu Kuò kindly comforted:

"It's okay, we just transferred here. The way things were taught before is different from how they're taught in Qining. It's very impressive to be able to get second place in the class."

He was very much at ease comforting others, completely forgetting that he had scored the lowest in the exam.

Cheng Chen beside him also looked at Zhuo Yu'an with eyes full of admiration and said, "That's right, Wen Jian is directly promoted from the junior high school department. He understands the thinking behind the questions set by our teachers better than you, and he's only three years older than you. He's very impressive."

Zhuo Yu'an didn't say anything, his eyes seemed to inadvertently glance over the girl beside him, and he took the initiative to speak.

“Are you going home”

At this time, most of the students in the campus have left. The evening campus radio music slowly played.

Tinglan wasn't really eager to go home. She glanced at Chengchen, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes. Chengchen understood her instantly; they had a silent understanding. He made a gesture indicating "not doing well on the test" and didn't want to go home, needing to cooperate to deceive their parents.

Lu Kuo, a crafty fellow, noticed the subtle gestures between the two girls and immediately exclaimed:

"Where are you guys going to play I want to go too, I want to go too."

Listening and Cheng Chen both ignored him, each calling home:

"Mom, Chenchen and I are going to the bookstore to look at some books for a while. We'll be home late."

"Mom, Tinglan and I are going to the bookstore to read. We won't be home for dinner."

"Nearby Lu Kuai said, "Cut it out, you think you're going somewhere fun Just finished the exam and went straight to the bookstore Too boring."

Two girls smiled, and Cheng Chen asked them: "Shall we go to the amusement park"

Of course, going to an amusement park might seem a bit silly, but Lu Kuo had been so bored since moving in with Qin Ning that he'd take any chance to get out and have some fun.

He thought Zhu Yu'an definitely wouldn't go, so he kindly said to him: Bye bye, see you tomorrow!

But to his surprise, Zhuo Yu'an didn't refuse and accompanied them all the way to a nearby amusement park.

This amusement park has some facilities specifically for children's play and others designed for young people's entertainment. At this time, there are few people here, only a few children from the children's area playing under the supervision of their parents after school.

Ting Lan and Cheng Chen were obviously regulars here. The two of them, with their backpacks on, led the way in front. Lu Kuo hurried to catch up and walked beside them, humbly asking about what fun activities there were.

Only Zhuo Yu'an walked silently behind, carrying a single shoulder bag and occasionally looking up at the girl in front. The girl had a slender back, her school uniform was spotless, contrasting with her fair skin. She often turned her head to talk to Cheng Chen beside her, her side profile exuded the liveliness unique to youth, and even her voice was sweet and soft.

Zuo Yu'an suddenly remembered the elegant script on the last page of his notebook: "Some fruit grow deep underground."

The boy's lips unconsciously curled up, a sweetness from the reply, a secret thrill that belonged only to them. He held onto it with hope, carefully preserving and treasuring it in his heart.

The three of them passed by the dancing machine and the game machines, deciding to challenge the tallest, most winding, and longest slide in the hall. While Lán and Chéng Chén had been here many times before, Lán never dared to attempt it. Each time, she would stand at the top and hesitate.

Today Cheng Chen has been encouraging her all along. Lu Kuo, seeing the tall slide, also became interested and was eager to try it.

The slide is shaped like a cylinder, dropping from the highest point of the building to the ball pit below, about two stories high. Tinglan stood at the top, looking down into the dark cylinder, trembling.

"Tinglan, come on! You have to challenge yourself this time." Cheng Chen and Lu Kuo stood behind her, encouraging her, wanting her to go down first.

Listening still couldn't bring himself to do it, he took a step back.

"You go down first."

She needs to build up her mental state.

"You have to come down in a while." Cheng Chen had already sat at the entrance of the slide. As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Kuo behind her pushed her slightly, and she screamed as she slid down the slide, disappearing from sight in no time. Lu Kuo followed closely behind.

They went down, and Lan tried to sit at the mouth of the slide. Her legs were a bit wobbly, and she could still hear Chengchen's surprised shout echoing from below.

"Shall I go down with you"

Behind him, a pleasant and clean voice suddenly sounded. Tinglan only then remembered it was the friend Lu Kuo had brought with him.

She actually really wanted to challenge herself, she just lacked the courage to take that final step.

The boy's voice was clean, with a touch of firmness and encouragement, inexplicably making her feel a little safe. She had already sat down, so she turned her head slightly and asked.

"Can I"

Zuo Yu'an nodded and sat behind her. His legs were long, and when he sat forward, his instep was almost level with Tinglan's.

"Need me to grab your arms" he asked.

"It's necessary." Tinglan wore an expression of unflinching courage, nodding resolutely. He needed to be protected.

"Good," Zhu Yu'an moved forward a little, then grasped her arms with both hands, exerting slight pressure, and together they slid down the slide.

Ting Lan was relatively introverted. She only uttered a soft cry when her body lost weight, and afterward, she kept her lips tightly closed, silently experiencing the feeling of weightlessness and dizziness.

Zuo Yu'an had originally only been holding onto her arms, but as they slipped, the impact and his instinctive need to protect her caused his hands to unconsciously wrap around her abdomen. As a result, Ting Lan was almost completely encircled by him as they fell together.

In the long, enclosed cylindrical slide, he forgot his fear, only a sense of helplessness and an unexpected quickening of his heartbeat. The girl in his arms stiffened out of fear, her hands gripping his tightly. In that moment, he couldn't think of anything else, only the pounding of his heart, suffocating him, only the sweet scent of the girl swirling around his nostrils.

He wanted to create some distance between them, but he couldn't at all. He was afraid that if he let go, she would be even more frightened.

The exit of the slide was a pool of ocean balls. The two crashed into the ball pit after sliding down. Tinglan was buried in the balls and stayed lying down, her whole body trembling.

Cheng Chen and Lu Kuo ran over laughing to greet them. Zhuo Yu'an had already gotten up. Seeing Ting Lan still lying in the ball pit, he thought she was injured or crying when she came down

He hurriedly crouched down to pull her out of the ball pit, but before he could reach her, Tinglan jumped up from the ball pit and rushed towards Cheng Chen, exclaiming, "So much fun, so much fun!"

She was so excited that besides her beaming eyes, her cheeks were flushed red.

"Why don't we strike while the iron is hot and go up for another round" Cheng Chen suggested.

Listening's head was shaking like a rattle, don't play anymore, once is enough. I almost got scared to death just now, luckily someone was there behind me.

Only then did she remember that it was Lu Kuo's friend who had just protected her and brought her down.ital, he would have to run back and forth, which would be very tiring. 。Zhang Chengze also said from the side: "Shi Yan and I are both in Senzhou. When you come to be treated, we can also take care o...
