Lin Yan thought he could hear some serious answer: “…”
Director: “…”
[Wow, they actually guessed it right.]
[The other couples are still struggling with decoding clues from people’s comments, and this pair is already ahead.]
[Why does the location they chose also have this BE vibe?]
Lin Yan entered the gate.
From a distance, he could see a milk booth sponsored by the main sponsor. The production team members were idly playing tricks with milk cartons.
As they approached, the production team member stopped the milk antics and took out two-point collection cards, saying, “Welcome to Devil’s Castle! As long as you complete three special challenges together, you’ll pass this test. Complete one challenge to earn a stamp. After earning three stamps, come to me to exchange for a reward card.”
Lin Yan asked, “What are the criteria for completing a challenge together?”
The production team member smiled mysteriously, “You’ll need to explore that together.”
Good at building suspense.
Lin Yan didn’t ask further and took the collection cards.
There were three locations listed on the cards: Maze of Ghosts, Rapids Adventure, and High-Speed Skyway.
After a quick glance, Lin Yan put the cards in his pocket. He was about to turn to Lu Jin to discuss which challenge to pick when he noticed that Lu Jin was staring at the cards, his expression a bit strange.
The words that Lin Yan was about to say changed direction at the last moment, “What’s wrong?”
Lu Jin quickly came back to his senses, and smiled lightly: “It’s nothing, just a small matter.”
Lin Yan asked, “Have you been to an amusement park before?”
Lu Jin replied, “No.”
Lin Yan: “Oh, did you go to a children’s playground then?”
Lu Jin: “…Hey!”
A gust of wind blew by, carrying a chill.
Lin Yan put his hands in his pockets and glanced around, “I was originally going to let you choose one, then I’ll pick… um, the maze…”
Lu Jin suddenly interrupted him, “I think Rapids Adventure is a good choice.”
Lin Yan looked at him.
Lu Jin: “Life is about daring to strive, going against the current.”
Lin Yan: “But we…”
Lu Jin: “Come on.”
Lin Yan: “…”
[Yeah, let’s get fired up! (If you can’t beat them, join them)]
[Charge, charge, charge! (If you can’t beat them, join them)]
[Did I get into the wrong fandom? I remember clicking for a romance show, right?]
[No, you’re in the right place. Next, please enjoy how the little couple faces life’s challenges together, never leaving each other. (If you can’t beat them, join them)]
In Lin Yan’s impression, Rapids Adventure was about a group of people sitting in a raft, going down a fast-flowing river.
He thought that Devil’s Castle’s Rapids Adventure would be the same.
Until he got the paddle.
Lu Jin’s eyes also showed a moment of confusion, “We… row a boat?”
The show didn’t entirely book the place, and there were scattered small boats on the water, awkwardly spinning in place with the flow.
Suddenly, a girl dropped her paddle and shouted in anger, “Do you even know how to paddle? I told you not to paddle this way, but you insisted on it. Even a rubber duck thrown into the water can swim away. We’re spinning like a top in the water. Is this fun?”
The guy across from her shrank his neck, “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry…”
Lu Jin exclaimed, “The rumors about every project having couples arguing are true.”
Lin Yan was momentarily speechless.
No wonder it’s called the Couples’ Killer amusement park.
Crew: “Both of you, please put on your life jackets.”
With the help of the crew, they put on life jackets, took paddles, and got onto the boat.
The boat was just big enough for two people.
Both of them had long legs, so it was inevitable that they were sitting close together.
Lu Jin lightly bumped his knee against Lin Yan’s.
Lin Yan: “What are you doing?”
Lu Jin seemed to have lingering fears about the girl just now, “Let’s come up with a strategy.”
Lin Yan said calmly, “Put the paddles in the water.”
Lu Jin: “Sure, sure.”
Lin Yan: “Just paddle.”
Lu Jin: “…”
Once in the water, Lin Yan realized that this game really tested a person’s mentality.
The water flow wasn’t fixed in one direction. It could change direction shortly after you started paddling, pushing you back.
If it weren’t for the cameras recording, Lin Yan wondered who had designed this. Did anyone actually come to play this?
But then he thought, if so many people were playing, the director might not be able to rent the place…
What was even more extreme was that there were obstacles in the water.
As they were paddling along, the boat got stuck.
When the boat bumped into another obstacle, Lin Yan put down his paddle.
Lu Jin: “Tired?”
Lin Yan sighed and didn’t complain, “Let’s continue.”
Lu Jin also stopped, “Actually, I just thought of a great idea.”
Before Lin Yan could ask, Lu Jin winked his eyes at him and quickly jumped into the water.
Everyone was stunned.
The crew was almost frightened to death: “Teacher Lu!”
Lu Jin waved his hand: “Don’t worry about me.”
The water was not deep, only a little above Lu Jin’s knees.
Lin Yan supported the boat and calmed down his heartbeat: “What are you doing?”
Lu Jin supported the other end, “Sit in the middle.”
Only then did Lin Yan realize that his so-called idea was to manually push the boat away.
Lin Yan couldn’t just sit there without doing anything, so he thought about jumping into the water as well. However, Lu Jin stopped him, “The water is cold.”
“Then why did you get in?”
“To give you a better gaming experience. Sit tight.”
No one had ever seen someone act this way.
All eyes were on them as they watched the small boat maneuver through the water.
Water splashed onto both of them.
Lin Yan closed his eyes slightly, avoiding the water droplets that almost splashed into his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he found that Lu Jin was looking at him.
Lin Yan was startled, and touched his face, “What are you looking at?”
Lu Jin quickly averted his gaze, “Nothing.”
He just suddenly noticed that Lin Yan had long eyelashes.
Suddenly, Lin Yan’s expression changed slightly, “The water current is getting stronger. Get back up here quickly.”
Lu Jin didn’t insist, and he jumped onto the boat.
The boat was pushed by the current all the way to the finish line.
They landed smoothly, and the crew breathed a sigh of relief.
[I don’t know what to say. Who would have thought someone would play like this?]
[It’s just because Lin Yan didn’t find it fun, so he did it.]
[Hey, where did Lin Yan go?]
After getting the stamp, Lin Yan left with a casual “Wait for me on the bench.”
He wandered around and finally found a shoe store. Unfortunately, they didn’t sell clothes.
Lin Yan picked a pair of shoes, left the shoebox behind, and walked back with the shopping bag.
Returning to the bench, he didn’t see anyone there. He was about to make a phone call when he suddenly noticed a candy-colored ice cream truck.
The person he was looking for was in line, standing among a group of kids, particularly conspicuous.
Lu Jin was bent over, talking to a child.
Lin Yan walked up to him and lightly tapped him with the bag, “Mr. Lu.”
Lu Jin raised his head. He must have just finished talking to the child. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were unusually gentle, and his tone even had a soft, coaxing quality, “Do you want some ice cream? It’s said to be their specialty.”
It was getting a bit cold that day, and Lin Yan rarely indulged in ice cream.
But he didn’t refuse, “Sure.”
Lu Jin said, “Then wait a moment, it’s almost my turn.”
Lin Yan handed him the shoes, “I’ll stand in line. You can go change the shoes.”
Lu Jin was surprised for a moment, “You’re being so kind, Mr. Lin.”
Lin Yan asked, “Do you want to go or not?”
“Sure.” Lu Jin looked at the bag and his expression suddenly became quite subtle.
He took out the adorable pair of light blue shark rain boots from the bag and looked at Lin Yan puzzledly, “Mr. Lin, have you misunderstood something about me?”
