Chapter 312: Amusement Park

~13 min read 2,580 words

On the fourth day of the study tour, Liang Yan and Tang Can woke up and saw Su Yu with her mouth wide open, looking utterly incredulous.

"Little Yu sister, what's wrong?"

Su Yu came to herself, "It's nothing, I just didn't expect our study tour to actually be paused!"

The bodyguard just arrived to inform the awakened Su Yu that the teacher said the study tour would be paused for a day; the teacher wants to reason with the other students.

"Why?"

Tang Can was puzzled. She thought this study tour was optional. She had agreed to her aunt's invitation only because Liang Yan and Ruanhuohu both agreed. If she didn't come, wouldn't that just leave Liang Yan and Ruanhuohu together? When they return, would Liang Yan and Ruanhuohu be more in sync than she and Ruanhuohu?

Su Yu changed the subject, "The teacher said it would be paused, but it doesn't affect us; my dad and mom will definitely take us out to have fun!"

After the morning exercise, Ji Yan wiped the sweat off the three kids and led them to the hotel for breakfast.

"Darlings, would you like to see a play or go to the amusement park?"

The three kids glanced at each other, "Amusement park!"

"Alright, we're going to the amusement park!"

Su Yu happily followed Ji Yan and the others to enjoy the amusement park that combined rides and shows to the fullest!

On the ride back to the hotel, the three kids, including Su Yu, ate and drank their fill, flipped through the photos taken by the bodyguard, laughing and chatting.

"Little Yu sister, this Ferris wheel is taller than any at your home!"

Liang Yan pointed at the huge Ferris wheel, still looking amazed! This Ferris wheel is truly super, super tall, unlike the tower and the ones at Little Yu sister's house!

"Mm, it's high; are you scared?"

"Of course not scared; is what that aunt said true?"

Tang Can remembered that the aunt said that when the Ferris wheel reaches the top, the people who kiss will stay together forever!

"Can Can, if that legend is true, anyone could find a place with a Ferris wheel, sit to the top, then kiss, and the world would go chaotic!"

Tang Can and Liang Yan imagined that scene in their minds.

【Only a fool in love would believe that! But maybe not; in a world of rule‑bound urban legends it could happen? Wulongcha, does our world have such power?】

【No, and "forever together" depends on what it means; taken literally, it's like a curse.】

Last time Su Yu drew a wish card, it worried that Su Yu might misunderstand certain things.

【If you use a wish card to say "forever together," the effect could be comparable to a curse. "Forever together" means being together no matter what, which is torment for two people. No one can accept being bound to another in everything they do.】

Humans often say that distance creates beauty. If two people eat, sleep, attend to daily physiological needs and handle various affairs together, with no secrets between them, they either become enemies, or it's true love, or their psychology is extremely strong.

【If I wanted to wish for dad and mom to be together?】

【You should wish, "May dad and mom love each other without doubt and grow old together."】

【Oh, okay, but I think a wish card isn't needed; my dad is so useless and lacks emotional intelligence, what if my mom gets tired of him someday? They could be the kind of couple in the circle who treat each other like ice. Forced feelings only become a burden.】

Su Yu wasn't worried about Su Yi's shifting affection. He dares to cheat, and his elder uncle dares to let him cleanse himself and be driven out!

Su Yi: "Ah! Reverse girl!"

At this moment, Su Yi recalled many things! He remembered that Reverse Girl had once openly wanted to find a second‑marriage partner for Ji Yan! He remembered his older brother wanted to recognize Ji Yan as a sister and marry her off!

Su Yi was about to lose control of his primordial power, to give Su Yu a complete childhood; Tang Can shivered.

"Can Can, aren't you feeling unwell?"

Constantly watching the three kids, Ji Yan hurriedly took a blanket and draped it over Tang Can.

"Thank you, auntie, I'm fine; I was just scared by what I was thinking!"

Tang Can imagined a scene where everyone is bound together, with no freedom, each tied like a leaf on a vine, unable to escape.

"That's too scary!"

Liang Yan also nodded, "Yeah, that must be a lie!"

"We won't watch the Ferris wheel; let's watch the animals and the restaurant!"

The amusement park they visited was a combination of a zoo and an amusement park, so the themed restaurant served not only foods shaped like rides but also foods shaped like animals.

Tang Can and Liang Yan were looking for pictures and videos, hoping Su Yu would mark them, so that after they return, Su Yu's family chef could make exact copies!

"Ah, hahaha, who took this? So cute! So funny!"

Liang Yan watched the video where two pandas fought over a toy. One panda lifted its body, roared at its partner, then leaned back; the two pandas tugged the toy, each refusing to give it up.

Suddenly, when one panda raised its head to show off, the other panda let go of its hand, and the plastic toy was ripped away by the clawless panda, covering the other panda!

The clawed panda seemed to realize what it had done, ran with a reckless stride to the other side of the rack. The stunned panda shook its head and followed.

"Too bad we didn't finish filming!"

Tang Can also wanted to see what happened next.

"Mm, did they fight later?"

Su Yu swiped, and the next video and the previous video were both that three‑year‑old mama‑bear still pampering its mother.

"I don't know, but the pandas don't look that different; I have to rely on size to tell them apart."

Tang Can previously had no interest in pandas that were hard to tell apart. This time, these two mischievous pandas caught her interest!

Su Yu, Tang Can and Liang Yan watched the videos seriously until they returned to the hotel.

"Darlings, we'll wash and rest; tomorrow you still have to continue the study tour, and we'll go see a play!"

Tomorrow, Su Yu and the others will go see Chinese opera and Western theatrical performances.

"You'll also see sugar people; after bathing, go to sleep. If you want to chat about anything, we can tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay!"

Su Yu and the others obediently fell asleep.

On the fifth day of the study tour, after Su Yu and the others got up, the teacher called them over to eat together.

The teacher insisted, and with his mother's encouragement, Su Yu led Liang Yan and Tang Can over.

Contrary to the three of their expectations, all the children ate quietly, no one tried to grab food with their hands from the table. Every child used the communal chopsticks or spoon properly. There were special snacks on the table; they let the teacher cut a small piece with knife and fork for them to try. If it didn't suit their stomach, they didn't eat it; if they liked it, they took a whole piece.

When they arrived at the theater, everyone quietly watched Peking opera and Western drama; some of the kids didn't like it, but they didn't make a fuss, simply curling up in their seats and falling asleep.

【Wulongcha, got taken to the police station—was the crackdown really that big? They all behaved obediently, yay!】

【The teacher asked the police to give them a lesson; they visited the people who were injured and unconscious from fights. Seeing those wounds, the kids who caused trouble last night were all frightened.】

Children are innocent. Their perception of some matters is vague. Because they don't understand, they act harshly. The teacher personally took them to see real examples, letting them witness the consequences their impulsive actions could cause!

All the children were terrified by the rotting wounds!

Not to mention group fights; they probably wouldn't even dare the usual shoving when angry!

The subsequent study tour went especially smoothly. Su Yu and the other two were well‑behaved under normal circumstances, requiring no attention from the teacher. The other kids, frightened by those wounds, were also extremely obedient. Basically, they did whatever the teacher said.

On the day the study tour officially ended, Su Yu, Liang Yan, and Tang Can gave farewell gifts to all the children.

The other children were deeply moved, tearful as they said goodbye to Su Yu and the others, "Remember to reply!"

They exchanged contact info and became good friends from then on!

"Bye!"

After the study tour, Su Yu was to stay for a while at Yang Zhichun's retreat; Liang Yan and Tang Can were on vacation, and they didn't want to be separated from Su Yu, clinging to go together.

Zhu Xueheng and his group couldn't accompany the kids for the whole summer, so they simply let the three play together. The adults of the three families gave up! The three may have many ordinary friends, but friends with this kind of bond are probably none left!

After saying goodbye to the plastic companions from the study tour, Su Yu and the others took a bus to the destination.

"So tired!"

Su Yu got off the bus and stretched lazily!

Tang Can and Liang Yan also twisted their little bodies!

"There are way too many mountains here, aren't there?"

When they rode in, it was truly a maze of twists and turns! In a place like this, wouldn't Great‑Grandma feel uncomfortable riding in?

"It's cooler in the mountains."

Su Yu, Tang Can, and Liang Yan all agreed! The breeze here is crisp and cool, very different from the hot wind in the city.

"Where's Great‑Grandma?"

The butler came out smiling, "The matriarch went fishing with friends. Miss Xiao Yu, Miss Liang, and Miss Tang, are you tired? Would you like a bowl of juice?"

The excellent fruit cultivated in the deep mountains was juiced, sealed, and chilled in well water; it tasted especially refreshing!

"Mm‑mm, yes!"

Su Yu is thirsty!

After finishing the juice, Su Yu held her steaming bowl and looked at the butler, "Uncle Butler, if you come over here, will the car ride be tiring?"

"No, Miss Xiao Yu, you can try taking the cable car when you go out."

"Why didn't we take the cable car when we arrived?"

Su Yi quickly explained, "The cable car is broken; taking the car carries more things!"

Su Yu thought that made sense!

Su Yi saw Su Yu stop asking, and instead led Ji Yan, Liang Yan, and Tang Can around, breathing a sigh of relief.

He had previously opposed Su Yu unilaterally, but after an open discussion with Ji Yan, he reconciled with Su Yu unilaterally!

Since they reconciled, he didn't want Su Yu to think he was deliberately messing with them.

Su Yu didn't know Su Yi's thoughts; she held her mother with her left hand, and with her right hand she held the hems of Tang Can's and Liang Yan's clothes, choosing rooms together with them.

"This room looks nice; outside is all mountains! So big!"

The room Tang Can chose has a wide view, with many mountains and forests visible.

"I want the room we saw before that lets us see the flowers!"

Liang Yan likes looking at flowers and plants; the assorted colors together are beautiful! She also wants to photograph her doll among the flora!

Su Yu was different: "I want to stay next to Mom!"

Where Ji Yan lives, Su Yu wants to live too.

"Alright!"

Ji Yan also chose a room; outside the view is endless forest. Su Yu chose the adjacent one, where the scenery is the border of flowers and forest, offering a different view!

Ji Yan and the children were all very satisfied with the room assignments!

On the first day staying at the mountain villa, Su Yu and the others ate with Yang Zhichun and her friends; after getting to know each other, Su Yu chatted alone with Yang Zhichun before bedtime, acting coquettishly and sharing her experiences, and only returned to her room to sleep very late.

On the second day at the villa, Su Yu wanted to start over!

Her teacher and the teachers of Liang Yan and Tang Can all arrived!

From the second day onward, the three of them lived a fulfilling routine of daily training and tutoring! The mountains here are abundant, and the teachers occasionally tossed them into the woods to test their coping abilities!

The better they performed, the worse the next start would be!

But if they performed poorly, the teachers would doubt their teaching ability, and they'd train them to the point of questioning existence!

At long last the summer ended, and the three of them, including Su Yu, were to go back to school; they finally were freed!

"Little Xiao Yu, will you come back for training during the winter break?"

Liang Yan really wants to stay with her little Xiao Yu sister, but the training here is too exhausting! The Xiao Yu who previously refused to go to school was so tired she finally agreed to attend school!

Tang Can also looked at Su Yu; Huo Huo, that little lazy egg, definitely didn't want to come. But she wants to come! She also wants to be a flower keeper, so she needs some skill!

But this time she was basking in a soft glow. The teachers who taught them were originally Su Yu's teachers! If Su Yu didn't come, they'd have no reason to be there! Training alone, Tang Can wasn't sure she could endure!

Su Yu reluctantly uttered a single word, "Okay!"

She is enduring hardship now so that she will be happy and fearless later!

【Wulongcha, my dad and my uncle really took part in similar training?!】

So tired!

It really is so exhausting!

Su Yu had no idea how she got through this summer vacation! She opened her eyes to eating and studying, and when the weather was good, she spent most of her time improving her physical fitness.

She didn't know where the teacher got the medicinal bath formula, but Tang Can and Liang Yan trained with her and then joined her for the medicinal bath.

The medicinal bath worked very well. The three of them added a new training item every other week. It started with basic horse‑stance drills, then various basic martial arts—knife, spear, staff, sword, hammer, and so on. During outdoor training, the teacher also taught them to use slingshots, bows, wooden arrows, etc., to attack prey!

At night she fell asleep without anyone coaxing her; she could close her eyes and drift off.

【They participated in the training, arranged by your great‑grandfather.】

Wulongcha doesn't know how many times it repeated! It can understand Su Yu's feelings; during this period, Su Yu was truly exhausted! Even a system watching it feels tired!

Su Yu still persisted!

Thanks, darlings, for the votes~
