From a nobody online dating to a top love brain - Chapter 39
“Stop it already,” Yu Nan scolded, as he enjoyed kissing and could assure himself that he wouldn’t end up like Bei Yuye, who would react just from a little kiss…
Pei Yunchuan held up his phone to record a video, shifting the screen to show them: “Take a look, this little beauty in a skirt is our Yu Yu. Isn’t she pretty? And next to her is the brooding guy getting scolded, hmm, also very… um…”
The number of visitors at the Happy Valley amusement park on the weekend wasn’t as high as during the holidays, but it was still considerable. Roller coasters and similar attractions always had long lines.
“We’ll probably have to wait about half an hour,” Kitty said, looking at the seemingly endless queue.
During the wait, Bei Yuye kept clinging to Yu Nan, rubbing his waist, touching his face, and hugging him, unwilling to let go for even a moment.
Doggo suddenly recalled his own past: “A few years ago, one night, Kitty had a bout of teenage angst and said we couldn’t be together… Ugh!”
Kitty quickly covered his mouth, preventing him from continuing.
Faced with everyone’s curious gazes, she ultimately conceded, speaking haltingly: “Uh, I… I was just influenced by the anime…”
“She told me she was a magical girl and couldn’t be with me or else she’d be punished by the heavens!”
“I lived right across from her house. It was raining heavily that day; maybe emotions were running high. After she said that, she ran outside, and I had to chase after her. It was autumn, and it was cold in the rain. She hadn’t even left the community before she was freezing and wanted to go home.”
Kitty felt disheartened and didn’t want to remember that time: “In the end, we both got scolded. My mom said we were fools for running out in the rain without an umbrella.”
Yu Nan hadn’t had such interesting experiences before, so he couldn’t help but lean against Bei Yuye’s shoulder, attentively listening to everyone’s stories.
“The first time I had a crush on a boy was in kindergarten. His last name was really cool—Yan. My last name is Wang, so I used to fantasize that our kids would be named Yan Wang,” Watch the sword reminisced, lost in his own crush saga.
Milk Tea whistled: “You’re not bad either; you always have new crushes.”
Watch the sword would always combine his name with that of his crush, searching for connections between the characters, trying to bring their names closer together.
Kitty asked, “So Watch the sword, do you only have secret crushes?”
He nodded vigorously: “Secret crushes are the best! They’re the most exciting. With my fifth crush, after he confessed to me, I instantly lost interest in him.”
Yu Nan understood; for him, the ambiguity during online romances was more thrilling than anything else: “Right! That’s why I don’t want to meet in person; I want to keep it ambiguous behind the screen.”
The crowd was bustling, but it was silent.
As he relaxed his grip on his waist, Yu Nan suddenly remembered Bei Yuye, smiling foolishly, trying to change the subject: “I was talking about a friend of mine.”
The crowd remained quiet.
“Bei Bei, kiss me,” Yu Nan looked up, asking for a kiss.
“Hey~”
Finally, there was some noise in the crowd.
Just as Bei Yuye was about to kiss him, Yu Nan covered his mouth, pointing ahead: “Let’s move forward, the line is progressing.”
“Listen to that; they’re acting like they didn’t kiss,” Bei Yuye teased, tugging at Yu Nan’s wig.
Yu Nan rejected him: “Kiss me only after you can properly pronounce Chinese characters.”
“Hey, it was a slip of the tongue!” Bei Yuye protested, trying to entangle him.
The roller coaster they were queuing for wasn’t too high, so it was within Yu Nan’s comfort zone; he was afraid of heights but really wanted to ride.
Each row could hold two people, and Bei Yuye tightly gripped his hand, squeezing it painfully. Yu Nan asked the serious-looking Bei Yuye beside him, “Are you scared?”
Bei Yuye opened his mouth but couldn’t speak. As soon as he sat down, his legs were already shaking.
He finally threw himself into Yu Nan’s arms, crying out, “I’m scared of heights!”
“You guys sit together; I’ll sit with that guy in the back, who’s a bit handsome—my new crush,” Watch the sword suddenly dashed to the back, happily taking a seat with his new crush.
As the roller coaster started, Yu Nan closed his eyes tightly, pressing his head against the safety bar, thinking about his wig. He shouted, “Bei Bei, hold down my wig!”
He was afraid his wig would fly off.
Bei Yuye struggled internally, his body instinctively refusing to let go of the safety bar, but thinking of Nan Nan gave him the courage to lean toward his senior, wrapping his arms around his senior’s head.
“Hey, look up!” The cat couldn’t help but admire the couples in love; they were tightly hugging even on the roller coaster.
Doggo steadily recorded the video, capturing the lovey-dovey scene in front of him before turning the camera to the people behind: “In the back are our Rain is quietly falling and Milk Tea. Milk Tea, why do you keep shouting with your eyes closed? Are you unhappy sitting with Rain?”
Kitty leaned into the frame: “And further back is watch the sword, but I can’t get him in the shot because he insists on sitting with that handsome guy behind.”
The sudden feeling of weightlessness filled Yu Nan with panic as he fervently prayed for the ride to end quickly.
After one round, his legs felt weak. With Bei Bei as a support, he leaned directly against him.
As soon as they got off the roller coaster, Bei Yuye helped him fix his wig and even put the headband back on his senior that he had taken off before the ride. He felt a little enchanted by the act of helping his senior get ready. The thought of the little dress he bought last night being worn by his senior made him unable to suppress his glee.
“I really like you, Nan Nan,” Bei Yuye said, playing with his senior’s hair, speaking sincerely.
Yu Nan could handle the roller coaster, but there was no way he could ride the pirate ship or any other thrill rides that offered a stronger sense of weightlessness. Fortunately, Bei Bei didn’t seem to be the type to take on such challenges either, so they could stick to less stimulating rides together.
Watch the sword was the last one to emerge, his face full of smiles: “That handsome guy added me! My first crush has turned into a flirty situation.”
He looked around and asked, “Since I got his contact information, does that count as flirting?”
Before the roller coaster, he had said he only liked the feeling of secret crushes, but after the ride, it seemed she had forgotten what he had said. Yu Nan reminded him, “That’s not what you said earlier.”
Watch the sword pointed at Affectionate guy: “You said it was impossible to meet in person, and you said that he could only die in your phone for the rest of his life.”
Yu Nan wrapped his arms around Bei Bei’s waist: “Bei Bei doesn’t listen; those aren’t good things to say.”
He felt a bit confused about Bei Yuye’s attitude toward him. It was obviously positive, but it was so good that he felt there was no temper, which made it hard for him to sense his feelings for him.
After teasing Pei Yunchuan to take him on a date and failing, Bei Yuye hadn’t brought it up again either; now, everyone kept saying that he had no intentions of meeting in person, and Bei Yuye didn’t ask anything further.
He was standing right in front of Bei Yuye, yet Bei Yuye remained tight-lipped about such matters.
Forget it, he didn’t feel particularly affectionate toward him. It was just that this was the first time he had such intimate contact with someone, and he was enchanted. He wouldn’t ask for more from him.
“That handsome guy invited me to hang out. Should I go?” Watch the sword pondered, excitedly thinking, “I have to go! This is a limited-time flirty situation; I’m leaving tonight.”
Doggo asked, “Is he coming with friends? How many are there?”
“Three people,” he replied. The handsome guy was single because each row could only hold two people, which gave him an opportunity.
It was Rain who had initially sat next to the handsome guy, and watch the sword had noticed him right away, so he had immediately pulled Rain to switch places.
Doggo planned to go with Kitty to ride the pendulum swing, while Pei Yunchuan adamantly refused to go. Yu Nan and Bei Yuye intended to ride the carousel. He asked, “Then I’ll go with Kitty to find that flirty guy with watch the sword, and you four can stick together?”
Primarily, there were three guys in front, so they couldn’t let him go alone.
“Let’s meet at the haunted house after we finish riding the pendulum swing and the carousel,” Doggo suggested.
Everyone agreed, and the seven of them split into two groups.
The carousel at Happy Valley was high up, requiring a long climb up the stairs. The horses were colorful, resembling flying horses, and from afar, it looked like a dazzling music box. The view from above was also excellent, providing a panoramic view of the attractions below.
Yu Nan chose a horse toward the innermost part and sat down, with Bei Yuye sitting close by. When he stood, Yu Nan’s skirt could still cover his thighs. Once he straddled the horse, the hem of the skirt almost reached his thighs, and he tugged it down.
“It’s so high!”
After hearing Pei Yunchuan’s shout, Rain couldn’t help but exclaim, “Our scared-of-heights Milk Tea brother is so pitiful!”
Pei Yunchuan had followed Yu Nan, thinking he had escaped the heights, but he didn’t expect the carousel to be built high up as well. He had gotten on the horse slowly and was still on the outer edge.
When the carousel stopped, Bei Yuye picked Yu Nan up, while Rain spread his arms toward Milk Tea, teasing him: “Do you want the me to carry you down?”
Pei Yunchuan ground his teeth in frustration.
Bei Yuye showed Yu Nan the photos he had just taken, clearly eager for compliments: “Look at how pretty you are in these shots.”
Yu Nan zoomed in on the pictures Bei Yuye had taken; they did indeed look good. He said, “Send them to me later.”
Bei Yuye asked, “Nan Nan, will you post them on Moments?”
“Hmm?”
“Oh no, bad boy Nan Nan, you’re posting to hint at others that you’re with Bei Bei.” Bei Yuye tugged at his skirt playfully.
“Oh no, bad boy Nan Nan,” Pei Yunchuan imitated Bei Yuye.
“Oh no, bad boy Nan Nan,” Rain chimed in, following suit.
