Chapter 308

Bai Jing was overjoyed!

A while later, he stuffed some more clothes inside.

"These are the real top-quality stuff. Put them on and I guarantee your charm will be limitless!"

Mu Leng, curious, opened one and took a look—then got so startled she dropped it on the ground, her whole face flushing crimson!

Then came furious rage. "Bastard, I'll kill you!"

A while later, under the warm send-off of an attendant, the two of them left, laden with big and small packages.

"Why did you still buy those? I'm telling you, I'd rather die than wear that kind of clothing."

"I never said they were for you. Can't I give them to someone else?"

"You…"

"Didn't you also say you didn't want any? Yet you bought just as many!"

Yes—Mu Leng had bought several dozen pieces of clothing in one go, not even sparing that leather outfit.

"I'm happy to. What's it to you?"

"Fine, fine, fine. Either way, I'm the one looking, so I'm not losing out!"

"Let's go, keep browsing other places!"

They went from shop to shop, and as she encountered more people and things, Mu Leng adapted faster and faster, no longer feeling awkward or out of place.

But her tsundere personality hadn't changed—every time she shouted she didn't want it, every time Bai Jing had to drag her inside, and in the end, she was the one who refused to leave!

Passing by an ice cream shop, the two of them stopped.

"We've been walking around for a while, let's stop and rest, and have some ice cream."

"I don't want any—that's stuff only kids eat!"

"Yes, yes, yes—I'm the kid, alright?"

Bai Jing could only drag his tsundere her inside.

"What flavor would you like?"

"Hmph, I don't want any!"

Her mouth said she didn't want any, but her eyes kept sneaking glances over, brimming with longing.

"Boss, two strawberry sundaes. ˇ."

They casually found a spot and sat down.

"What are you looking at me for? Eat!"

Bai Jing scooped a spoonful, his face exaggerated: "Ah~ so sweet, so refreshingly cold!"

Mu Leng pursed her lips, then took a bite too—and then it was unstoppable, bite after bite without pause.

Bai Jing watched her with amusement!

One serving of ice cream was finished in no time!

"Alright, let's go!"

But a certain someone refused to leave, squirming about, her eyes sneaking glances at the counter.

"Um…"

"What? Want more?"

"Mm!"

Mu Leng's face flushed completely red!

"Then go buy it yourself!"

"I…"

She didn't dare—it was too embarrassing!

Seeing her greedy little look, Bai Jing was amused—unexpectedly cute!

"How about this—give me a kiss, and I'll buy you another serving!"

"You're taking advantage of my vulnerability!"

"So what? We're a couple now. What's wrong with a kiss?"

"I…"

"Hurry up, or I won't buy it for you!"

"You're ruthless!"

Mu Leng quickly planted a fragrant peck on his cheek, her face red and head lowered.

"Go buy it quickly!"

Bai Jing didn't tease her any further—otherwise she'd get embarrassed and fly into a rage!

In the afternoon, the two arrived at an amusement park.

"What are we doing here?"

"Of course to have fun—what else?"

"How old are you and still playing this? Childish!"

"I hope you can still talk so tough later!"

A while later, the two of them got on the roller coaster.

"Don't you dare scream later!"

"Pfft, such a small scene—I'm not afraid at all!"

As the roller coaster slowly started and gradually accelerated, flipping and rolling through the air, the people in front and behind all screamed at the top of their lungs, the sound piercing the clouds.

Mu Leng wasn't afraid, but her little face was flushed bright red!

In the end, she couldn't hold back anymore and let out a scream!

Not being afraid is one thing; being stimulated is another!

After getting out of the car, Bai Jing asked, "How was it? Do you feel completely relaxed?"

"Hm?"

"Wasn't it fun?"

"Mm!"

"Want to try something else?"

"Mm!"

"Still think it's childish now?"

"Shut up!"

Next, the two moved from ride to ride—the pirate ship, sky flight, cliff swing, bungee jumping, and anything else thrilling—they didn't miss a single one, and laughter and traces of them spread all over the amusement park.

Mu Leng completely let loose, no longer the cold, distant figure she usually was, but like a child who had run wild!

The two, tired from playing, bought drinks and sat down in a quiet spot.

"How was it? Were you happy?"

"Mm, very happy—I've never been this happy before!"

"Thank you so much today!"

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face!

"What's wrong? Out of nowhere?"

"You don't understand! I've always played the role of protecting Rong'er, and I've always thought of myself that way!"

"But today's experience made me realize that protection isn't about hiding in the shadows—it takes greater courage to face the world, to face people and events, and yet I've been the one being protected all along!"

"Compared to Rong'er, I'm the true weakling!"

"No, sister—it's you who's been protecting me all along. Without you, I would've gone mad long ago!"

Bai Jing pulled her close, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, and comforted her: "You two are one whole. There's no such thing as who's weaker or who protects whom. If anything, you complement each other—you shield Rong'er from harm, and Rong'er shields you from the troubles of the world!"

"Besides, now I'm here. Whether it's you or Rong'er, I'll protect you both!"

Mu Leng looked up at him, dazed.

"Yes… now that you're protecting us, Rong'er won't be hurt anymore, and my existence is no longer important—even harmful to her!"

Her expression shifted unpredictably, as if adjusting, or perhaps fading away.

Bai Jing's face darkened instantly—he never expected his careless words would drive her to this choice!

At this moment, he truly didn't know what to do.
