The spring weather is perfect for a day out, and with the newly opened amusement park, there are quite a lot of people today. No matter what you want to play, you have to wait for a couple of hours. Last time, when Gu Siyu went to the amusement park, her friend came early in the morning, afraid that the park might close before they could try out a few rides.

The two of them first lined up for the rafting event. Since this event doesn't provide raincoats, they might get splashed with water. After waiting for about half an hour, they could board the boat. They stored their coats and sat in the boat. When water splashed over, they quickly huddled inside the boat. The downstream part was more thrilling, and many people would scream out of fear. Gu Siyu felt it was okay, considering it was child's play for her. She couldn't help but notice the faint smile on Huo Junxian's lips, and her heart slowly warmed.

After getting off the boat, Gu Siyu squatted down to check if her clothes were wet. Huo Junxian said she was fine, just a bit wet on her calves. Gu Siyu carefully wiped her with tissues and then took her to ride the roller coaster. The roller coasters here were not as thrilling, and many children were playing on them. As soon as they went up, screams echoed continuously. Gu Siyu could also hear Huo Junxian's screams, sounding like "Ah" and "Hmm."

After playing for a while, when they regained their senses, it was already seven in the evening. The sky was slowly getting dark, and they sat on chairs to rest. Gu Siyu asked Huo Junxian if she was hungry. Perhaps, Huo Junxian had forgotten about eating these days; Gu Siyu had never seen her eat much. She pinched Huo Junxian's arm and felt a bony structure, saying, "You've gotten thinner."

Huo Junxian withdrew her puzzled gaze, pursed her lips, and said, "I'm a bit thirsty now."

"Hmm." Gu Siyu asked her to wait for a moment, but Huo Junxian still got up and followed her. No matter how long they queued, she didn't seem tired at all. Wherever Gu Siyu went, she followed closely, very clingy.

Gu Siyu bought a soda, a small bottle with nothing special except for its attractive bottle. After finishing the soda, she filled the bottle with tap water and drank it. Huo Junxian followed suit.

"Plain water tastes better than soda," Huo Junxian said.

"Yes, how about ice cream?" Gu Siyu asked, feeling hot after walking so much.

"Not really in the mood for it."

"What about ham?"

"I don't want to eat."

"Why don't you eat anything?"

"... Shall I eat a little then?"

"Forget it. Do you have no appetite? I'll take you to eat some junk food later, something not so clean," Gu Siyu said, biting the straw. "When I'm in a bad mood, I like to eat something spicy. It helps me breathe better."

Huo Junxian seemed excited. She was accustomed to a refined lifestyle and had never experienced Gu Siyu's indulgent way of life. People always envy each other—those in hardship envy the carefree, and the carefree sometimes envy the leisurely life. Dissatisfaction is universal, and it's quite strange.

In the evening, there was a street parade and fireworks. They also experienced a haunted house where all scary scenes were replaced by mannequins.

Ironically, Gu Siyu was terrified of such places. The first time she entered, despite pretending to be calm, her legs trembled when the girl in front screamed, and she subconsciously wanted to run backward.

Huo Junxian held her hand tightly, saying, "It's all fake."

"I know."

To save face, Gu Siyu didn't want to admit her fear and said, "If you're scared, hold my hand tightly."
