Chapter 46: I seem to have died with you all over again.

Yu Fan slammed the vinegar on the table with such a muffled thud that the people at the next tables couldn't help but look their way--

All that could be seen was a head buried low, holding chopsticks like a knife and stirring the noodle soup in front of him fiercely.

The hat was about to finish covering his face.

Yu Fan is stirring the noodles as if they were people.

In the next moment, the chopsticks were pressed down by a finger that reached out. Chen Jingshen took his noodle soup away.

"Too sour," Chen Jingshen said, "order another bowl."

Yu Fan raised her eyes at him fiercely, and was about to ask, "Do you care what I eat too?

"I mean face acid." Meeting his gaze, Chen Jingshen added.

"......"

Since then, Yu Fan has ignored Chen Jingshen from dinner to checkout, and from the restaurant to the Internet cafe.

People tend to get loud when they play games, especially five guys in a voice.

Wang Luan and Zuo Kuan are playing together on the bottom lane this game, and when they talk, they will yell at each other, causing Yu Fan to turn down the volume of the game again and again.

"Hey, your skills are not good." In the headset, Zuo Kuan said in the game voice, "Not as good as that chaperone just now."

"Hmmmmmmmmmm, guess why that guy just now got to be a chaperone - holy shit!" Wang Luan exclaimed, mouse clicking, "They're coming in the middle! Zuo Kuan, you're blocking my damage - are you fucking selling me?"

"Brothers are meant to be birds of a feather."

"Fuck off!" Wang Luan said, "Yu Fan, why didn't you say so when the middle road was gone?!"

Yu Fan: "Forgot."

Wang Luan : "What's wrong with you today, why do I think you're not concentrating on your play?"

It's true that it's not focused.

Moving the game character to a safe place, Yu Fan turns his head, and meets the eyes of the man sitting next to him.

"What are you looking at?" He asked irritably.

Chen Jingshen got on the plane and did nothing, just leaned back on the couch, occasionally looking at his screen, occasionally looking at him.

"Watching you play games." Chen Jingshen said.

Wang Luan let out a "Holy shit" in his headphones, "Why is the bully next to you?"

Yu Fan: "Internet."

Wang Luan was surprised, "You guys are so close that you go out on weekends to surf the internet together?"

"Just happened to run into it."

"You can even run into each other at the Royal River?"

"......"

What's with all the questions?

Yu Fan moved the microphone away from his mouth and looked at Chen Jingshen coldly : "Look at your computer or get the hell home."

Chen Jingshen turned his head as instructed and clicked on a random movie.

After five consecutive hits, Zhu Xu says his mom sent him downstairs to help move something and told them to wait ten minutes.

It just so happened that everyone else was tired and simply hung out and chatted in the game voice.

After wearing headphones for the whole afternoon, my ears were tired. Yu Fan simply closed the mike, took off the headset and put it on the desktop, and turned up the computer volume to the maximum, so he could still hear them.

Yu Fan leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs and pulled out a cigarette, and just as he was about to throw it into his mouth, Yu Guang glanced at the person next to him and made a sudden movement.

Chen Jingshen is also not wearing headphones. His stationery for the exam was thrown on the table, and he was sitting a little loose, watching a movie with a cold face.

On his computer screen were two animated characters, the man walking through the sky holding the woman, and looking up, Hal's Moving Castle.

"......" It's hard to imagine that Chen Jingshen would watch this kind of movie.

Yu Fan looked at the time, it was already time for the evening meal, and it was dark outside.

He used his knee to touch the person next to him, "Chen Jingshen, why aren't you home yet?"

Chen Jingshen looked at the unlit cigarette in his hand and asked rhetorically, "When are you going back?"

"I might pass ......" Yu Fan paused, "None of your business."

Chen Jingshen : "I also stayed up all night."

"......"

"Can you learn something good?" Yu Fan frowns, "I have no one at home and you have no one?"

"It's no." Chen Jingshen said, "My family is all abroad right now, so it's okay to stay out all night."

"......"

Chen Jingshen leaned back with him and asked, "What's that look?"

"Nope, just thought," Yu Fan looked at him without moving a muscle, "Chen Jingshen, have you been in a rebellious phase lately?"

Chen Jingshen quietly stared at him for a moment.

"Have you ever thought," Chen Jingshen states, "that I might be in a crush period ......"

Yu Fan reached out and cupped his mouth.

"Yu Fan! Yu Fan!" his name came from the headset on the table, and Wang Luan shouted from inside, "Where is everyone?"

Yu Fan was expressionless, "Shut up and keep watching your movie."

Chen Jingshen nods.

Yu Fan let go of him and turned on the microphone, "What for?"

"Where have you been, calling you for half a day ...... Zuo Kuan and I are discussing the Dragon Boat Festival to go to the amusement park to play." Wang Luan paused, "Oh yes, call the school bully to come along."

Yu Fan wasn't too interested in this and didn't think twice: "I--"

Chen Jingshen: "Yes."

"......"

Chen Jingshen inclined his head, "I've never been to an amusement park."

Then you'll go with them yourself in a group--

"Let's go together." Chen Jingshen said.

"......"

Yu Fan stalled in silence for a while, and in the middle of the day, he annoyingly stuffed his cigarette back into the cartridge and said vaguely over the voice, "Whatever. I'm going to the restroom, don't start the game yet."

The internet cafe was full on the weekend. It was already dinnertime and the aroma of food hung in the air.

When he got up, he happened to hear the girl on the machine said to the phone, "I am in the Internet cafe ...... play what? Didn't play anything, watching TV series it ...... can't help, accompanying the boyfriend well ...... not boring, he has been chatting with me ah, and also bought me a lot of food, is sitting too tired."

Returning from the restroom, Yu Fan turned the corner to head back to the machine, took two steps, then stopped and turned his head to look at the front desk.

Another movie over, Chen Jingshen moved his fingers and was about to see what else he could do to pass the time.

In Yu Guang, a familiar figure returns from the distance, carrying something in each hand, his steps slow and clumsy.

Chen Jingshen Before he had time to look at it, there was a snap and a pile of extra stuff on the table.

Chips and melons, cakes and plums, all kinds of flavored snacks, and a bowl of ground beef.

"Eat." Yu Fan sat back down at his machine and picked up his headphones with a calm face, "I'll play two more games and then go back."

Chen Jingshen glanced at the exquisite lasagna and milk tea on the girl's table in the next plane, and then looked at the bag of small snacks of various flavors on her own table. Couldn't help but purse her lips.

"Good." He picked a random bag and opened it, asking in an inch, "Can I watch you play a game when I'm tired of the movie?"

Yu Fan picked out the hero with an expressionless face, "...... As you wish."

-

After returning to school, Wang Luan asked some of his closest classmates to go to the amusement park. Unfortunately, most of them had to go out with their families for the Dragon Boat Festival, so only Zhang Xianjing and Ke Ting agreed to come along.

June is bright and rollicking in the Southtowns, and the daytime temperatures are frighteningly high.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, a few people talked it over and decided to meet each of them at 5:00 p.m., at the entrance of the amusement park after they had a bite to eat at home.

The amusement park they went to was owned by a local man and had been open for more than twenty years. The location was on the outskirts of the city and covered a small area, which was always lively because of the many programs and the good atmosphere.

It's a holiday and the amusement park has lines just to get in.

Wang Luan looked at Zhang Xianjing in front of him in long sleeves, long pants, a veil over his head and sunglasses: "You're not hot, are you? What's the point? It's not even sunny anymore."

"What do you know, there are UV rays until it gets dark." Zhang Xianjing took out sunscreen from his bag and went to hold Ke Ting's hand next to him, "Baby Ting, come on, put some on your hand."

Ke Ting was a bit resistant at first, but when Zhang Xianjing's "Baby Ting" came out, her expression gave way, and she hung her head and reached out her hand to let Zhang Xianjing wipe it.

After applying it, Zhang Xianjing turned to the two tall men behind him, both of whom were white, and asked, "Would you two like some?"

Yu Fan didn't think twice: "Don't."

Chen Jingshen said, "I don't have to either."

Both of them were wearing short sleeves and long pants today, and both of them had a white duck-tongued cap fastened on their heads, which was inexplicably harmonious at a glance.

Zuo Kuan coughed lightly and held out his own hand, "Zhang Xianjing, give me some."

"What else do you have to put on if you're so dark?" Zhang Xianjing threw sunscreen at him, "Put it on yourself."

"......"

The evening weather had eased up a bit, but it was still hot to be crammed in with the crowds.

Yu Fan waited in the heat with his hands in his pockets.

Why doesn't he stay at home or in an internet cafe in this shitty weather and come to a place like this to stand in line?

It doesn't seem too late to go back.

The line moved forward again, and Yu Fan the thought had just begun, when suddenly he felt a coolness in his neck, and a very long gust of wind whipped through it.

He turned around to see Chen Jingshen holding a handheld fan behind his head.

"Where did that come from?"

"Just bought it," Chen Jingshen lowered her eyes, "There's no comfort in it."

It was cool, but Yu Fan thought it was a bit strange. He frowned, "Blow yourself."

"I'm not hot."

"What did you buy it for if it's not hot?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, a small vendor passed by them with a dozen or so small handheld fans, the same model as the one Chen Jingshen was holding.

He took two steps and asked the man next to him, "Handsome, the weather is hot, buy a small fan for your girlfriend?"

Yu Fan: "......"

Yu Fan's hand in his pocket squeezes a little tighter and says without a ripple, "Take it away."

Chen Jingshen Hmmmed and turned the fan back.

Only a few minutes later, Yu Fan felt the wind behind him again. Yu Fan didn't look back, pretended to be unaware of it, and patiently lined up again.

After ten minutes or so, it was finally their turn to check their tickets.

It's not so hot coming out of the crowded queue, and after entering, Chen Jingshen throws the fan into his pocket.

The amusement park was already lit up in the evening, the carousel closest to the entrance flashing colorfully, and the Ferris wheel in the sky hanging with colored lights, spinning slowly in the air.

The amusement park has a paper map, and Zhang Xianjing found where he wanted to go at a glance.

"Ke Ting and I are going to get pictures of the dolls, then we'll go over to the carousel for pictures, and then we'll end up at the castle for pictures... do you guys want to join us?"

Wang Luan had a complicated expression, "Sister Jing, I always thought you were different from other girls ......"

"Scram." There's not much sunlight left, Zhang Xianjing took off her sunglasses, revealing her carefully applied makeup, and rolled her eyes, "Then we're going over there, and we'll meet up again at night when we're strolling through the night market. You guys pay attention to the time when you play."

There were four boys left standing in the center of the playground garden.

Wang Luan asks, "What are we playing?"

"I don't know." Yu Fan turns and walks away, "Walk and see."

The entertainment near the entrance is quite childish and suitable for children.

Passing by the Happy Spinning Cup, Wang Luan asks, "How about we ......?"

Zuo Kuan : "Open your fucking eyes, is there anyone in here other than little kids and parents?"

Passing the bumper cars, Zuo Kuan asks, "Try ......."

Wang Luan: "No, I get carsick."

The two denied each other the whole way, Yu Fan and Chen Jingshen walked in front of them, not even looking at the projects.

Yu Fan glanced at the person beside him, Chen Jingshen was silently scanning the colorful game consoles around him, it did look like it was his first time here. Only his expression was as cold as ever, unable to tell if he was interested or not.

Yu Fan said coldly, "Just say what you want to play."

The next moment, Chen Jingshen stopped in his tracks and turned his head to stare straight at the side.

Yu Fan followed his gaze and saw an eerie black wooden door with a sign that read "Haunted House - Unknown Cave".

Yu Fan: "......"

Wang Luan and Zuo Kuan move silently straight ahead without blinking.

Chen Jingshen's phrase "want to play" just reached his lips, when someone grabbed his arm and pulled him away.

Yu Fan's tone was cold, "Not this one."

A few minutes later, Chen Jingshen stops in front of the double Ferris wheel.

Then another yanked away, "No sitting."

For a moment, Chen Jingshen glanced at the tandem bicycle stand, and his feet slowed for a second--

The wrist was taken again, "No ride."

Chen Jingshen stared good-naturedly at the back of the head of the man holding his shirt and asked sincerely, "What can I play then?"

They stopped at the most central area of the amusement park.

In front of and behind them are the Sledgehammer, Roller Coaster, Pirate Ship and this amusement park's most famous, the jumping machine with a drop of 129 meters.

Yu Fan: "Choose."

Chen Jingshen: "."

-

After stepping into the area, it felt like you were surrounded by 360° of other people's screams, one more than the other tearing your heart out. That's why Zuo Kuan and Wang Luan refused at first.

But it's typical of the two of them that the more they dish it out, the more they want to play.

First, Wang Luan declared war by saying "You're not even afraid of this, are you?", Zuo Kuan immediately countered with "Whoever is afraid is a grandson", and finally both of them shook their legs and gritted their teeth, deciding to go up together.

The line for these four items was several times longer than the others. They had to go to the evening night market at the amusement park later in the evening, and the timing was such that they couldn't take turns on all four events.

A few people discussed for a while and decided to play the hottest jumper first, and then line up the others afterward if they had time.

Wang Luan and Zuo Kuan walk ahead of them noisily, and Yu Fan whispers, "Can you play?"

Chen Jingshen said, "Yes."

Yu Fan is now heading towards the end of the line.

They lined up in a man-made cave that was air-conditioned and the wait was instantly less unbearable.

The line was a bit long, so Wang Luan and Zuo Kuan simply started a game.

Yu Fan didn't like to stand and play the game, so he didn't participate and leaned against the wall to watch Wang Luan play.

Yu Fan subconsciously turned around when his t-shirt was being held.

The line was long and tight, and he turned around defenselessly, and the two of them were a little close together for a split second.

Chen Jingshen's eyes drooped under the brim of his hat, "It seems like it's going to be a long row."

"Uh-huh." Yu Fan blinked at him, "You don't want to wait? Then let's go play another item ......"

"Anyway, I have time." Chen Jingshen said, "Memorize Li Sao and Tengwangge Preface?"

"......"

Forty minutes later, they finally reached the end of the line.

Wang Luan gulped as the last group of tourists grimaced and got out of their seats, "Why do I get the feeling that none of them are standing still?"

Zuo Kuan tilted his head with difficulty, "It didn't feel like it was this fucking high when I looked outside just now ......"

Yu Fan whispered one last time to make sure, "You can really play?"

Chen Jingshen: "Uh-huh."

The staff opened the barrier in front of them, and Yu Fan took off his hat and went in with a calm face, "That goes."

The machine had three rows of seats, one row could seat six people, and on this side there was a couple besides them.

As they were strapped into their seatbelts, Wang Luan and Zuo Kuan looked at each other and saw regret in each other's eyes.

After a few minutes, the machine started and they slowly, slowly rose upwards as if there was no end in sight.

"And it doesn't fucking stop ......" Wang Luan is so desperate he's about to cry.

Zuo Kuan yelled down, "I'm not playing! Hello! Do you hear me? I'm going down--"

One is louder than the other, making Yu Fan a little noisy.

But he quickly loosened his brow.

The jumper rose as high as it could go, 129 meters high enough for him to look down on a colorful amusement park and a quiet mountain forest, and a night view of the city streaming over the horizon.

His legs dangled in the air, no fear in his heart, nervous and enjoying the view.

"Lee Yeon! I love you!!!" The male of the couple suddenly yelled towards the sky, "Marry, give, me, let's-"

The four people next to him were all in a lurch.

The woman, who had been screaming in a small voice, stopped for two seconds at the words, and then yelled right after, "I, will, will-"

"I, love, you--"

"I, too, am--"

Yu Fan was expressionlessly looking at the scenery, and was thinking about how the hell he hadn't fallen yet, when the back of his hand was suddenly touched by someone.

Chen Jingshen held his finger, "Yu Fan, I ......"

"Shut up," Yu Fan mentally jumped and slapped him hard on the hand, "Don't you dare try to learn a word??"

"......"

Chen Jingshen inclined his face for a moment, only to turn back two seconds later, "I'm just, suddenly, a little scared."

Yu Fan: "......"

"Can I hold you and play?"

"Can't." Yu Fan said with a cold face.

Chen Jingshen looked at him for a moment and twisted his head back, "Good."

Without warning, the jumper plummeted downward!

At the moment of falling, Chen Jingshen felt something touching his fingers next to him, and the next second, his hand was tightly grasped.

He was stunned for a moment, then returned the grip with force, and for the ten seconds of the descent the two men groped for each other's hands, and at last their fingers were firmly clasped together -

The intense feeling of weightlessness caused adrenaline to spike wildly, and there was a lot of screaming all around, with some people even hissing until they lost their voices.

The two clasped hands clenched tightly together, their heartbeats colliding with each other through the thin skin, hot and trembling. During the fall, Yu Fan barely breathed, and he seemed to have fantasized about this kind of fall a long time ago - falling to the ground in a matter of seconds, with the whole world crushing down on him, so heavy that it shattered his soul.

But the fantasy did not include a hand that held him tightly and did not let go, nor did it include Chen Jingshen's body heat or heartbeat.

The jumper screeched to a halt before touching the ground, pausing briefly for a moment before rising again, a little faster than before.

Yu Fan finally regained his breath and gasped hard a few times, subconsciously looking at the person next to him.

Chen Jingshen is also looking at him.

Chen Jingshen's hair was blown away by the wind, revealing his dark, clean eyes. The light from the jumper was reflected in his eyes like the moon being dipped in a lake.

Chen Jingshen said, "Don't be afraid."

Yu Fan wondered what kind of face he was wearing now that would make Chen Jingshen think he was afraid.

"I'm scared shit ......" Yu Fan mumbled, "Chen Jingshen, what are you laughing at again."

"It's nothing. I'm just ......"

They rose to the top, and Chen Jingshen's voice mingled with the wind.

He paused, smiled and whispered, "Yu Fan, it's like I died with you all over again."

Yu Fan heartbeat missed a beat.

The next moment, they were falling high--

Yu Fan's brain felt like something had suddenly exploded, his heart was beating violently, his blood was boiling hot, and he almost shouted with Wang Luan and the others.

Yu Fan was dizzy, in a trance, and couldn't tell if all this was because of the weightlessness or because of Chen Jingshen.
