Chapter 34: Chapter 34 She Needs Him

Sensing the strange atmosphere between the two, Shen Sinian timely opened his mouth and cleared his throat, "What shall we play first?"

Xu Chuning looked at him, "What do you want to play?"

Shen Sinian: "Ladies’ choice comes first."

Xu Chuning was amused by his response, her mood slightly relaxed, "I’m okay with anything, I’m a bit scared of heights, so I can’t do thrilling rides."

Shen Sinian: "That’s okay, then we’ll play something less thrilling."

Saying this, he looked around and suggested, "Ningning, how about we go for the bumper cars?"

Xu Chuning hesitated for a few seconds before nodding, "Sure."

Shen Sinian then turned to ask Shen Yubai.

Shen Yubai glanced at him indifferently, his voice cold, "Let’s go."

The family of three went to ride the bumper cars.

At first, Xu Chuning didn’t know how to drive and was very cautious. However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Shen Yubai bumped into her several times.

She endured it for a while, but couldn’t take it anymore. Encouraged by Shen Sinian, she stepped on the gas to chase and bump into his car.

"..."

Playing around in the amusement park was a great way to vent long-suppressed emotions, something Xu Chuning had never experienced before.

After the bumper cars, Shen Sinian took Xu Chuning to try the pirate ship, which she wanted yet feared to try.

Naturally, after coming down from the pirate ship, Xu Chuning felt dizzy all over.

Shen Yubai did not join them on the ride, but when they came down, he casually helped Xu Chuning and handed her a bottle of mineral water, "Are you okay?"

Xu Chuning felt very dizzy, "...Not really."

Shen Yubai then led her to a nearby bench to sit down, "Take a rest."

Xu Chuning hmmmed, closed her eyes to recuperate, and then took the mineral water from Shen Yubai’s hand. She realized when she went to open it that the cap had already been loosened; she didn’t need to use much effort to drink.

Xu Chuning held the cap, her fingers pausing briefly, then she took a sip.

Seeing that she was alright, Shen Yubai glanced at Shen Sinian next to him, "Can you still play?"

Shen Sinian: "Of course."

He leaned back in the chair, his long legs stretched out, "I just need a little break."

Had it been too long since he last played? He felt that this time the pirate ship seemed more intense than before, making his head really spin.

Shen Yubai tugged at his lips, not bothering to reveal the truth.

The three rested for a while and continued playing other rides.

Shen Sinian was energetic, entirely like an energetic high school student. In contrast, Shen Yubai was very indifferent to the rides, looking nothing like someone who wanted to enjoy the amusement park.

After the pirate ship, they sprinted into the river rapids.

Shen Sinian loved this ride and told Xu Chuning it was thrilling, encouraging her to try it.

Xu Chuning, thinking that she had already spent the money and might as well get her money’s worth, agreed to join him in all the rides he suggested, except for the roller coasters.

By evening, the two had played most of the rides in the amusement park.

Meanwhile, Xu Chuning was nearly exhausted.

Noticing her pale face, Shen Yubai frowned, "Uncomfortable?"

"Not really," Xu Chuning had just gotten off a trampoline and felt a churning in her stomach, "I need some water."

At that moment, she was not in the mood to be polite to Shen Yubai.

Shen Yubai handed her the water.

Xu Chuning took it and after drinking half a bottle, she felt somewhat better.

Shen Sinian, too, was tired and no longer suggested thrilling rides.

Before leaving, he looked at the two, "Should we ride the Ferris wheel?"

Xu Chuning: "..."

Shen Yubai turned him down, "No."

Shen Sinian exclaimed, "Why?"

"Don’t you know she’s afraid of heights?" Shen Yubai asked him.

Shen Sinian paused, then pursed his lips and said, "Sorry Ningning, I forgot."

Xu Chuning smiled, "I’m not really that scared of heights, I’m probably just afraid of the kind of height you get on roller coasters."

She didn’t like the feeling of weightlessness on roller coasters.

Shen Yubai frowned, "You want to ride the Ferris wheel?"

Xu Chuning: "Yes."

She said to Shen Sinian, "I’ve never been on one, will it shake?"

Shen Sinian shook his head, "No, don’t worry, I will protect you."

Hearing this, Xu Chuning smiled lightly, "Then let’s go."

She stood up, looking at Shen Yubai, "Are you coming with us?"

Shen Yubai gave her an indifferent glance, slightly lifting his chin, "Let’s go."

It was the last event, it wouldn’t be right if he didn’t join.

There were quite a few people queuing for the Ferris wheel. It took Xu Chuning and the others more than twenty minutes to get their turn.

The three of them went in and sat down, and after a short wait, the Ferris wheel started moving.

Xu Chuning looked around, feeling the Ferris wheel gradually rising. It was magical; if it had been before, she would definitely be scared, but at this moment, seeing Shen Yubai diagonally opposite and Shen Sinian sitting next to her, she felt at ease.

"What’s wrong?" Noticing Xu Chuning’s gaze, Shen Sinian asked, "Scared?"

Xu Chuning shook her head, "It feels okay."

Shen Sinian: "That’s good, if you get scared, you can hold my hand."

Xu Chuning’s lips curved slightly, "No problem."

As the Ferris wheel was about to reach the highest point, Shen Sinian said to Xu Chuning, "Some people say that making a wish at the highest point of the Ferris wheel can easily come true, Ningning, do you have any wishes?"

Xu Chuning was startled, "Make a wish?"

"Yes." Shen Sinian glanced at her, urging, "Make your wish quickly."

In the meantime, he grabbed Xu Chuning’s hand, forcing her to make a wish.

At that moment, Xu Chuning’s mind went blank; not only did she forget to resist, but she even followed what Shen Sinian said, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and started making a wish.

Since she was young, Xu Chuning’s wishes were always the same two or three.

First, for You Shuzhen and Grandma to be healthy and safe.

Second, for You Shuzhen to find her daughter as soon as possible.

Today, she suddenly had another wish, if possible, she wanted Shen Sinian to stay with them for a longer time. She liked this son from the future, she needed him.

When she opened her eyes after making a wish, the first person Xu Chuning saw was not Shen Sinian, but Shen Yubai.

Shen Sinian had turned his back to her and went to make another wish on the other side.

Only Shen Yubai, who had made no wishes, stood beside Xu Chuning. His posture was tall and straight, his expression indifferent, slightly more mature and calm than their peers.

Coming down from the Ferris wheel, the three were very hungry.

"What’s for dinner?" Shen Sinian asked.

Xu Chuning looked at the two, "You guys go eat, I need to go back to the store."

Shen Yubai glanced down, "Aren’t you hungry?"

Xu Chuning: "I’m okay."

She was too hungry to feel hungry anymore.

Shen Yubai muttered softly, "...Is there any food left at the store?"

Xu Chuning: "Huh?"

Shen Yubai: "Could you call Aunt You and ask?"

Xu Chuning realized, "Alright."

You Shuzhen still had plenty of food in the store. Knowing the three were coming to eat, she happily said, "Okay, how long until you come back? Mom will start cooking."

Xu Chuning: "About half an hour."

You Shuzhen: "Alright, be careful."

After the call, Xu Chuning looked at the two, "Let’s go, let’s have dinner at the store."

Shen Yubai nodded.

The Shen Family’s driver was already waiting outside, and once the three boarded the car, he took them to the store.

You Shuzhen was very happy that the three came back for dinner. She cooked several dishes. Watching the three finish eating, she was a bit happy.

After dinner, it was time for Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian to leave.

Before leaving, Xu Chuning stopped Shen Yubai, "Shen Yubai."

Shen Sinian, not worried in the slightest that Xu Chuning would be swayed by Shen Yubai at that moment, perceptively said, "You guys talk, I’ll go chat with Aunt You some more."
