Chapter 495: It Was Her

Then.

It was a winner.

With a complicated look on his face, Li Yuan glanced at his hands.

His hands were capable of a 100% success rate when it came to guns, darts, and pelts.

Shen Xi stared at the stall owner. “Give it to us.”

The stall owner handed the stuffed bunny to her. He took a good look at Shen Xi before turning to the man in the wheelchair. The stall owner wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to do so since he took a lot of money from the man in the wheelchair.

He was starting to suspect there might be something wrong with his rings or perhaps the hottie in the wheelchair was losing on purpose if he continued to miss the shots.

The surrounding tourists even raised doubt about the game being rigged since no one could make any winning throw. The stall owner felt aggrieved to be labelled a crook.

Fortunately, the girl managed to win in one throw. She was either lucky or very skilled.

Shen Xi turned around with the bunny in her arms and pulled off the plastic bag over it before stuffing the bunny to Li Yuan. Bending over, she looked into his eyes and smiled. “Do you still want to have go?”

Li Yuan’s complexion was painted a rosy blush. He cleared his throat and turned his head away. He calmly said, “Let’s get out of here.”

He screwed up big time.

Shen Xi observed the man with downcast eyes and a plushie in hand. The adorable stuffed bunny did not go well with that stoic and noble presence of his. Nevertheless, it was still a cute sight. Pursing her lips to sneak a smile, she pushed him to leave.

The stall owner grabbed the remaining rings and tried to call Shen Xi back since she only used one ring. However, he quickly stopped in his tracks when the girl leaned over to talk to the man in the wheelchair.

The young lady was as beautiful as a fairy while the man in the wheelchair was quite the hunk. The couple looked like they walked out of a painting.

A dazzling show of lights blanketed over the pair.

The scenery of them together drew a vivid and gorgeous tapestry.

It was a pity though; the man was bound to the wheelchair. Nevertheless, there was no such thing as perfection in the world and only imperfection was realistic.

The amusement park was as lively as ever.

While pushing Li Yuan’s wheelchair, Shen Xi was filled with inner peace. She wanted to quietly walk on, feeling content as she listened to the hustle-bustle and people-watch. Going for rides and attractions completely slipped her mind.

Li Yuan held onto the plushie and tuned into her breathing and her footsteps, picking up her scent amid the crowd. His lips curled into a delightful smile.

There was no need to play or say anything. This was good enough.

The pair took a stroll around until Shen Xi gave up. They passed by a stall to buy candied fruit and a yam berry. Shen Xi took the candied fruit and gave Li Yuan the yam berry. “Brother, let’s head back.”

Shen Xi felt defeated by the crowd everywhere. Even a thrilling ride like the roller coaster had a long queue. It was unlikely they could get on any rides at all.

Li Yuan took a bite out of the yam berry. His narrow eyes reflected no regret but anticipation instead. He hummed with delight. “We’ll come back next time.”
