July 28th coincidentally fell on a Sunday. We could see the amusement park was packed with people from outside the fence.
I arrived at the entrance of the amusement Park at 8:45am holding the birthday present, the somewhat heavy metal box, that Huo ZhenBang had asked me to deliver to Xiao Qin.
Although we agreed to meet at 9:00, according to Xiao Qin’s customs, she definitely would have arrived early.
However, to my surprise, I looked around at the entrance and saw no sign of Xiao Qin.
Huh, was she going to come right on time today? Did she have to occasionally take higher position since it was her birthday today?
As I was puzzled, I suddenly felt someone behind me poke me with their finger.
“Poke, poke, poke…” they poked me and even said the sounds aloud.
The person behind me was Xiao Qin wearing a casual dress. She had a bright smile on her face and was happily poking my back.
“Ye Lin classmate really came to celebrate my birthday, I was so worried… now I can finally relax.”
She sighed exaggeratedly.
“What time did you… get here.”
I felt a little embarrassed while holding the gift and subconsciously tried to hide it behind me. Although it’s a gift from Xiao Qin’s father, it would still be given in my name. Even if Xiao Qin’s father didn’t ask me, I still intented to buy a birthday gift for Xiao Qin.
I’ve never given a girl a birthday present before (I didn’t have enough time to prepare for Gong Cai Cai’s birthday a few days ago) and I always felt that giving a girl a birthday present wasn’t manly.
Xiao Qin’s eyes were sharp and instantly spotted the gift box in my hands. She pounced on me despite the stares of the people around us.
“Is it a gift for me? Ye Lin classmate personally bought me a gift?”
“I can’t give it to you yet. Let’s wait until we find a quiet place in the amusement park.”
Xiao Qin pouted, “Ehhh, so what if you show me a bit earlier (￣.￣)”
I ignored her and walked straight towards the ticket booth. Xiao Qin wrapped her arms around one of my arms, and we were no different from the other couples.
Although I walked towards the ticket counter, I was not going to buy a ticket.
If you ask why, it’s because I already bought group tickets online the night before. contemporary romance
It’s ￥20 dollars cheaper than the physical tickets, and it was ￥40 for two people. I wasn’t the type who would pretend to be rich in front of my girlfriend because I was embarrassed to use a group purchase code. No point spending extra money in vain.
It’s not like Xiao Qin will care either.
I asked at the ticket booth where to redeem the group tickets, the female ticket agent actually gave me a cold shoulder, then pointed to a place more than 50 meters away from here with her fat lower lip.
“Group purchases over there.”
How snobbish. If you don’t welcome group purchase customers, then don’t participate in those online events. If it wasn’t Xiao Qin’s birthday today, I would have argued with you.
“Ye Lin classmate, let’s ignore her.” Xiao Qin noticed my discontent, so she pulled me towards the place to redeem group tickets. Then she even turned around and stuck out her tongue at the female ticket agent.
“She’s a female chimp, why is she acting so high and mighty. Once you get off work, Ye Lin classmate will beat you into a baboon.”
Um… I might be a bit angry, but I won’t easily hit a girl. Plus, beating a chimp into a baboon is completely inconsistent with the laws of biology.
“Ye Lin classmate, Ye Lin classmate.” After we entered the amusement park, Xiao Qin pointed to the roller coaster in the distance and bounced up and down and said, “Let’s go ride that.”
My heart skipped a couple beats.
Why are you making me ride the roller coaster when you know I have a fear of heights. Are you trying to embarrass me?
“That… that one isn’t fun.” I said with a pale complexion, “Let’s do something else.”
Xiao Qin puffed up her cheeks, but immediately pointed to a circular object and said:
“How about this one, I’ve always wanted to ride this one.”
“Is that a Ferris wheel?” I haven’t been to amusement parks a lot, so I wasn’t very familiar with the rides and attractions, A Ferris wheel might be high, but it moves slowly, so I might be able to handle it.
“No… it’s the Hell Flame Wheel.”
What a frightening name. Based on the name, it’s definitely the kind that spins like crazy and tries to throw you off. I really can’t understand what’s so fun about these rides.
“It… might be bad luck to ride it on your birthday, let’s find a ride that starts with ‘Heaven’ instead.”
I spotted a carousel not far away.
“I got it, let’s ride that. Since they are both spinning, I think it would safer to spin horizontally on the ground rather than vertically.”
I didn’t expect Xiao Qin to oppose fiercely and saying she would never ride it.
“The carousel is bad luck. We can’t ride the same horse, so if sit on different horses that means we will always be apart. It will keep spinning and spinning and I will never be able to catch you.”
I don’t think you have to take it that seriously.
In the end, we didn’t ride the carousel, but instead played with the bumper cars. That way, we were able to sit in one car together and also take turns steering.
“Bump you to death, bump you to death.” I was really worried if she would also drive like this in the future when she gets a driver’s license.
After being hit several times by Xiao Qin, one of the bumper cars driven by an elementary school student malfunctioned and stalled. He looked at me sorrowfully as if it was all my fault.
“Buy me an ice cream.”
Xiao Qin, who had her fill with bumper cars, asked me with a smile.
It was a smile I couldn’t resist, plus it was her birthday.
I ran to the ice cream stand and bought two egg roll ice creams. One for each of us and we ate them happily amid the hot summer day.
“Hey, since you and Gong CaiCai are both snakes (Zodiac), that means you’re younger than her if your birthday is today.”
“Yeah.” Xiao Qin nodded, “I’m about a month younger than Gong CaiCai.”
What’s there to be proud of being a month younger than Gong CaiCai?
The next ride Xiao Qin wanted to experience was a dangerous one called the “Don Quixote Windmill”, but I thought it was too far from the ground, so I tried my utmost to turn her down.
But as compensation, I gave the gift box to Xiao Qin.
We sat on a bench and Xiao Qin cradled the gift box to her chest and enjoyed it for a while (god knows why), then she opened it with impatience.
“Ah, ahhhhhhhhh!”
Xiao Qin, who suddenly shrieked, gave me quite the scare.
What the hell did Huo ZhenBang give his daughter? Don’t tell me he got his lover’s gift mixed up with his daughter’s gift and ended up giving her a vibrator? If that’s the case, I didn’t need you to give her one, I have plenty at home.
I quickly widened my eyes and looked inside the box only to find that the gift was two jade bracelets held in the middle of red velvet fabric. I might not be a jade expert, but based on its color and the degree of translucency in the light, it was definitely a high quality piece.
“Ye Lin classmate actually gave me such a beautiful bracelet, I’m sooooo happy…!”
Stop yelling. It’s actually a gift from your father, the more excited you get, the more ashamed I feel.
Xiao Qin held up the bracelets to her arms and looked at it for a while before she began to worry.
“The bracelet on the left hand clashes with the watch you gave me. It will break if I wear both at the same time.”
She referred to the children’s watch that was among the pile of souvenirs Wu Sheng gave me. I remember it wasn’t easy for you to wear the watch and it constricted your wrist. It’s not necessary to wear that watch every day, you also have your phone if you need to check the time.
“You don’t have to wear that watch anymore.”
“Why, I plan to wear whatever you give me every day.”
“Really, then how come you aren’t wearing the pair of sneakers I gave you.”
“That’s… because…” Xiao Qin hesitated for a moment, “It’s because it doesn’t match my outfit, otherwise I would have worn it.”
“Actually, the watch doesn’t match your temperament.”
“Eh?”
“You’ve… been getting more mature lately, so wearing a children’s watch doesn’t suit you. It’s better to wear a bracelet every day.”
Xiao Qin showed a very surprised expression, “Do you really… mean it?”
“Yes.” I tried to squeeze out a smile, “You can keep the watch in a drawer as a souvenir.”
Actually, Xiao Qin isn’t mature at all and a children’s watch suits her the best. It’s just the strap is too tight, it’s not good for you blood flow if you wear it for a long time.
After being fooled by me, Xiao Qin took off her watch and happily replaced it with a bracelet while muttering to herself:
“Ye Lin classmate has finally discovered my charm…”
After Xiao Qin put on the light green jade bracelets, she somehow reminds me of ‘Chun Li’ from ‘Street Fighter’, it’s probably because of the similarity to the wrist braces.
When I thought of fighting, I couldn’t help but think of what happened at the underground fight last night and how Peng TouSi warned me to seal berserk mode.
If I can learn Fa Jin, I can definitely offset the loss from sealing berserk mode.
But it’s a technique which has been refined and passed down for more than a dozen generations. It’s not something I can easily learn myself, the quickest way was to ask Xiao Qin to teach me.
Now Xiao Qin is in a good mood, so if I said I wanted to learn Fa Jin, she might agree quickly.
Should I give it a try? It’s a favorable situation for me right now, I might miss the opportunity if I don’t ask.
“Um…” I said hesitantly, “Xiao Qin, can you…”
To be honest, I didn’t know what exactly to say. Xiao Qin didn’t even know I was learning Yin Yang Sanshou from her grandfather.
But as Master Ren said, all Chinese martial incorporate the ideas of Hua Jin and Fa Jin. Even if Auntie Ren saw me use Hua Jin to deal with He Ling, she can’t be sure it was her family’s Yin Yang Sanshou.
Halfway through my sentence, Xiao Qin coyly lowered her head and whispered, “I understand.”
Eh, what do you understand? I didn’t even mention martial arts, did you already master telepathy?
“Ye Lin classmate took the time to accompany me on my birthday and eveb gave me such an exquisite birthday gift. My heart is already pounding with gratitude…”
The birthday gift was actually from your father though.
“In order to show my gratitude, I should have given it to you a long time ago…”
Huh, she’s going to pass me the full version of Yin Yang Sanshou? Xiao Qin is incredibly considerate, I was embarrassed to mention it since it was your family’s martial arts that isn’t taught to outsiders.
“What… time.” I couldn’t hold back my excitement and leapt off the bench.
“Ye Lin classmate, let’s play in the amusement park a bit longer, then… we can do it.”
She seemed to be a bit scared at negotiating with me.
My current mood felt like I just got a new piece of equipment in an online game. I wanted to immediately equip it and become stronger.
“You can give it to me now, it won’t affect our time at the amusement park.”
Xiao Qin’s body trembled, then she looked around for cover, “Ye Lin classmate is too eager… I’m afraid I’ll be left bedridden for a day after I give it to you. I won’t know what to tell my mom either…”
Is Fa Jin so exhausting that you wouldn’t be able to get off bed? I’ve heard Fa Jin condenses the power in your body to one point. How strong is her power if she can’t move after using it?
So I was even more curious.
“We can hide it from Auntie Ren, she might not even realize.”
The last time Auntie Ren saw me use Yin Yang Sanshou, she wasn’t able to recognize it was her family’s martial arts. According to Gramps Ren said, Auntie Ren’s level of Yin Yang Sanshou was poor, her Hua Jin might be even worse than mines.
“Hide it from mom….” Xiao Qin’s face was clouded. I didn’t realize she was that conservative about her family’s martial arts.
“You don’t have to give it all to me, you can just give me a little.” I took the initiative to relieve Xiao Qin’s psychological pressure.
“Only a little?” Xiao Qin looked extremely confused, “I don’t know, is it possible to only give a little bit?”
