Roses in Flames

Ye Yuntang was a little depressed. Last night, after she kissed Xiao Lin, she ran back to her rented apartment.

She was extremely nervous at the time, her slender body leaning against the door frame as she tried to calm herself down.

She thought the man would come knocking on her door or send her a message, but nothing happened.

Ye Yuntang had a long sleepless night last night.

It's the weekend, and she seemed a little distracted.

Her best friend Xia Wan invited her out shopping and to dinner, and she kept glancing at her phone.

More than ten hours have passed, and that scoundrel still hasn't responded.

She made up her mind that no matter how much he expressed his feelings again, she would not agree to be with him.

in the afternoon.

Ye Yuntang received a WeChat message from Ye Mo: "Sister, I'm at the newly opened theme park in the south of the city."

Ye Yuntang had previously promised Ye Mo that she would accompany him to the amusement park when she had time.

After saying goodbye to Xia Wan, Ye Yuntang drove to the amusement park.

Upon reaching the main gate, besides seeing Ye Mo, she also spotted a tall, aloof figure.

Xiao Lin.

He wore a well-tailored white shirt, impeccably pressed black trousers, and the shirt sleeves were rolled up to his forearms, revealing his sleek wrists. On his left wrist was a dark brown watch.

He seemed to have styled his hair specially, looking handsome and refreshing.

A hint of suspicion flashed in Ye Yuntang's eyes.

How did he end up here?

When Ye Mo saw Ye Yuntang, he waved happily.

Ye Yuntang walked up to the two of them. Remembering Xiao Lin's coldness from last night to today, she didn't even want to look at him. Her gaze fell directly on Ye Mo. "What do you want to play? It's on me."

Ye Mo nodded, took Ye Yuntang's and Xiao Lin's hands respectively, and walked towards the amusement park.

Xiao Lin's gaze turned towards Ye Yuntang.

Ye Yuntang could feel his gaze, but she ignored him.

Once inside the amusement park, Ye Yuntang focused all her attention on Ye Mo.

I accompanied him on various amusement park rides, including roller coasters, carousels, bumper cars, and pirate ships.

Xiao Lin didn't play, but he stayed behind the siblings the whole time.

After playing another game, Xiao Lin noticed that Ye Yuntang's forehead was covered in sweat. He said in a deep, magnetic voice, "You guys wait here, I'll go buy some water and food."

He walked toward the snack shop not far behind him.

After Xiao Lin walked away, Ye Yuntang nudged Ye Mo's arm with her elbow, "You invited him to the amusement park?"

Ye Mo shook his head and typed on his phone: "My brother-in-law invited me over."

Ye Yuntang was stunned.

The amusement park that Xiao Lin invited Ye Mo to?

What exactly is he up to?

Ye Yuntang looked at the man standing in the snack shop buying things. When he wore a well-tailored white shirt and black trousers, his broad shoulders and narrow waist appeared even more prominent. His back view carried a calm and aloof aura, making him particularly eye-catching in the noisy crowd.

A stylishly dressed girl boldly walked up to him and said, "Handsome, can I add you on WeChat?"

Xiao Lin was looking at the menu when he heard the girl's words. He turned around and glanced at Ye Yuntang and Ye Mo, coldly refusing, "Sorry, it's not convenient."

Following Xiao Lin's gaze, the girl saw the beautiful Ye Yuntang and instantly realized that he was not single. She apologized and left.

Ye Mo typed out a message: "Brother-in-law is really popular, sister, you'd better hold on tight."

Ye Yuntang was unconvinced.

Xiao Lin is popular, so why isn't she popular?

He kept saying he would pursue her properly, and she even kissed him first and told him he was special to her, but he didn't say anything.

No wonder a blockhead like him, who has no sense of romance, can't possibly win a woman's heart.

I can't think about it anymore; the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Xiao Lin bought two hot drinks and two grilled sausages.

"Have something simple to eat first. I've made a reservation at a restaurant for tonight." He handed the food to the siblings.

After Ye Yuntang took it, she still didn't say a word to the man.

Ye Mo noticed that the atmosphere between the two was a bit off, so he quickly walked forward, deliberately giving Ye Yuntang and Xiao Lin the opportunity to be alone together.

Xiao Lin walked over to Ye Yuntang's side. He watched her intently eating her grilled sausage, a faint smile playing on his thin lips. "Are you angry with me?"

Ye Yuntang glanced at the man sideways, "Don't flatter yourself, I'm not angry at all."

"Then why don't you talk to me?"

Ye Yuntang, "..."

She not only didn't want to talk to him, she also wanted to kick him a few times.

"I really don't want to talk to you, so you'd better not mess with me again."

Ye Yuntang quickly caught up with Ye Mo.

The siblings walked up to the balloon popper, and Ye Mo's eyes lit up.

"Want to play?" Xiao Lin walked over and asked Ye Mo.

Ye Mo nodded; he wanted to win the doll.

Xiao Lin paid the bill and let Ye Mo play.

After several rounds, Ye Mo only won half the prize, still far from the grand prize doll.

Xiao Lin saw Ye Mo's expression. He bought more bullets, took the gun from Ye Mo, and said, "Brother-in-law will help you."

Ye Yuntang and Ye Mo both stood to one side.

Xiao Lin's grip on the gun was crisp, precise, steady, and powerful.

He raised his hand, aimed, and almost without hesitation, pulled the trigger. The balloon burst with a bang, a perfect shot.

In the following rounds, he was even more decisive. With a slight adjustment of his wrist, he accurately locked onto the balloons, sometimes shooting two at once. The sound of the balloons bursting one after another drew gasps from the onlookers.

Ye Mo's eyes were filled with admiration and amazement.

My brother-in-law is so handsome and amazing!

Ye Yuntang's gaze couldn't help but fall on Xiao Lin.

The surrounding noise seemed to become a backdrop to him. With his cold and stern eyes, high nose bridge, and heroic features, he stood there as the most dazzling presence.

In no time, he had popped all the balloons off the stall.

Xiao Lin lowered his gun and looked in Ye Yuntang's direction.

Their eyes met unexpectedly. Xiao Lin's gaze was dark and deep, like two whirlpools that wanted to draw her in.

Ye Yuntang's heart skipped a beat.

The stall owner's face froze, and he had no choice but to follow the rules and hand over the oversized rabbit plushie.

Xiao Lin handed the doll to Ye Mo, who then passed it on to Ye Yuntang.

Ye Yuntang waved her hand, "Sister is an adult now, she doesn't need such a big doll anymore. This is a prize that Captain Xiao specially won for you, so keep it safe."

A smile appeared on Ye Mo's face.

Since it was inconvenient to hold the plush toy while we were going to play other games, Xiao Lin said in a low voice, "I'll put the plush toy back in the car first."

After Xiao Lin put the doll away and returned, the three of them entered the haunted house together.

The haunted house was dimly lit and had eerie sound effects.

Ye Yuntang and Xiao Lin are not even afraid of corpses, so naturally they are not afraid of haunted houses.

Ye Mo was the most timid. He followed behind Xiao Lin, his fingertips tightly gripping his arm.

The further you go in, the more terrifying the atmosphere becomes. There are skulls that suddenly fall from the ceiling, and NPCs dressed in ghostly costumes that suddenly jump out and pat you on the shoulder.

Ye Mo turned pale with fright, but Xiao Lin comforted him in a deep voice, "It's alright, it's all fake."

Ye Yuntang followed behind the two and saw Xiao Lin protecting Ye Mo and patiently comforting him. A warm feeling washed over her.

Just as the three of them walked into a narrow corridor, the lights above their heads suddenly went out.
