Chapter 396: Li Beijue's Weakness

Li Beijue subconsciously glanced toward the stern of the ship.

Seeing that the position there was narrower than other places and the space seemed even more cramped, he immediately nodded in his heart with satisfaction.

In that case... if she felt afraid, it would be easier to protect her...

As Li Beijue thought this, he immediately saw Jiang Baobao walking toward the last row without changing her expression.

He hurriedly followed and took the opportunity to sit down next to her.

A staff member stepped forward and fastened the safety belts for the two of them.

Two minutes later, the game began—

At first, the ship only swayed gently, but after a few moments, it began to sway higher and higher, and people on the ship started to let out loud or soft screams one after another.

Jiang Baobao, however, remained incredibly calm throughout, not even closing her eyes, and watched the surrounding scenery unhurriedly.

Li Beijue had also taken a few looks at first, but as the height of the ship's swaying became increasingly vertical, he felt his stomach churning, and his heartbeat gradually became intense.

This kind of thing... riding it was even more uncomfortable than he had imagined!

It had been a long time since he had experienced such physical discomfort, and then he suddenly felt a violent sensation of weightlessness!

"Ahhhhh!"

The entire ship had risen to its highest point, and the other tourists on board also let out their loudest screams.

Li Beijue's heart seemed to stop for a split second, and the next moment, finally unable to hold it back, he slammed his eyes shut.

Jiang Baobao caught a glimpse of the person beside her, whose face seemed to have turned pale, and she couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"Hey! Are you scared?"

She couldn't help but ask loudly in Li Beijue's ear.

Li Beijue shook his head immediately, but his eyes remained tightly shut and did not open.

Seeing this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but reveal a look of amusement.

No way?

This guy looked like he wasn't afraid of anything, yet he couldn't handle this?

And he had volunteered to follow along just a moment ago!

Finally—

After a long five minutes, the height of the Pirate Ship lowered bit by bit.

Li Beijue, however, felt as if a giant ship was riding the wind and waves inside his stomach!

He walked down the stairs almost by sheer force of will; with every step, he felt as if he were stepping on cotton, soft and unsteady.

"Daddy, are you okay?"

Yanbao looked at Li Beijue's complexion, which seemed not quite right, and asked hurriedly.

Li Beijue didn't want to lose face in front of the three little ones, so he hurriedly shook his head, but he didn't want to speak for the moment, just standing silently in place; at a glance, it seemed he hadn't been affected at all.

Jiang Baobao glanced at him with amusement and took the three little ones to draw prizes.

Unexpectedly, the little ones were incredibly lucky; as soon as they tried, they drew a fourth-place prize and a second-place prize, which were a pair of rabbit-ear hair clips and a cute bubble machine, respectively.

"Wow! This is so fun!"

As soon as Mobai got the bubble machine, he couldn't wait to "fire" it at the surroundings, immediately drawing envious looks from other children nearby.

The three little ones were playing happily and clamored to go to the next attraction.

Jiang Baobao naturally agreed, but when she turned back, she saw that someone was still standing in place, motionless, just like before.

"Let's go."

Jiang Baobao spoke up to remind him.

Li Beijue's stomach was still a bit uncomfortable; hearing this, he snapped back to reality, nodded, and looked up speechlessly at the big ship that had just put him through the wringer.

He had never had a problem with motion sickness...

How could he be worse at playing this kind of thing than Jiang Baobao?

And he had actually been thinking about protecting her...

Li Beijue followed quickly, trailing behind them, remaining silent.

While talking to the three little ones, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but quietly observe Li Beijue's complexion.

Seeing that he still looked uncomfortable, she subconsciously wanted to say something.

But the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back...

If she showed concern for him casually, would it make him misunderstand something?

But people who aren't good at playing these intense attractions really feel very uncomfortable afterward; drinking some water should make it better...

As Jiang Baobao thought this, she suddenly saw a small cart selling ice cream not far away.

Her eyes lit up, and she instantly had an idea.

"Do you guys want to eat ice cream?"

Jiang Baobao suddenly asked the three little ones.

"Yes!"

Tiantian was the first to answer loudly.

Mobai and Yanbao also raised their hands in cooperation.

Jiang Baobao smiled, then suddenly turned her head to look at Li Beijue beside her: "Then you take Tiantian, and I'll take Mobai and Yanbao to wait for you at the seats over there."

"Hm? Okay." Li Beijue hadn't expected her to take the initiative to talk to him, so he hurriedly agreed.

"Ahem..."

Jiang Baobao suddenly coughed lightly and pretended to be casual: "By the way, you can bring back two bottles of water while you're at it; after playing such intense attractions, drinking some water will make you feel a bit more comfortable."

She did not make it clear that she was concerned about Li Beijue.

Li Beijue was slightly startled, instantly understanding something.

So she had discovered it...

"Got it, I'll go buy it."

A trace of a smile flashed quickly through Li Beijue's eyes; he reached out to take Tiantian's small backpack, and the two of them turned together and walked toward the ice cream truck.

Tiantian skipped along beside Li Beijue, but her big eyes couldn't help but look up and stare at Li Beijue, her little face filled with gravity.

Daddy already knows my identity!

But he didn't say anything to me...

Then I should still call him Uncle for now!

The little girl thought to herself while saying, "Uncle, I want to eat strawberry-flavored ice cream."

Li Beijue paused his steps, looking at the little girl in his arms, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Should he remind this child to change how she addresses him...

But...

【You want to make amends now? It's hard to say whether Tiantian will acknowledge you!】

Jiang Baobao's words suddenly rang in his ears, causing a tiny, sharp pain to strike Li Beijue's heart.

If this little girl didn't intend to change how she addressed him yet, then why should he force her?

After all, it was his own past behavior that was poor, making her unwilling to acknowledge him as her daddy.

A trace of regret flashed quickly through Li Beijue's heart, but he didn't show even a fraction of it on his face, answering dotingly, "Alright, we'll buy strawberry flavor. Do you know what flavors your brothers like?"

"I know! My brothers like vanilla and chocolate!" Tiantian answered loudly.

The weather was a bit hot today, and a long line had already formed for people buying cold drinks.

Li Beijue stood at the end of the line with the little girl, frowning as he looked at the long queue ahead.

Before it was even their turn, he saw a group of people coming off other attractions and walking in this direction as well.

The waiting line suddenly became even more crowded, sandwiching the two of them in the middle.

Li Beijue subconsciously wanted to grab Tiantian, but when he reached out his hand, he suddenly grabbed at empty air!

Li Beijue's heart skipped a beat instantly.

"Tiantian?"

He looked down abruptly, but there was no sign of the little girl beside him.
