We moved to Golden Courtyard

……

However, Xu Qi can't spend time with his group of girls today, since he promised Theresa he would have a date with just the two of them this weekend.

As for the date location...

"To be honest, I always thought only little kids would choose to go on dates at amusement parks."

"Do you have a problem with that?!"

Hearing the girl's exasperated voice beside him, Xu Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Today, Theresa was dressed as cutely as ever, with a light purple gothic-style short skirt and a platinum shawl, giving her a medieval detective vibe.

However, because of Theresa's adorable face, she doesn't have much of a detective's seriousness, and instead highlights a touch of... childlike innocence?

I have a feeling that using this word to describe Theresa would get me attacked.

But could she hit my shoulder if she jumped?

Standing at only 1.45 meters tall, Theresa keenly sensed the meaning in Xu Qi's eyes.

Were you just saying I'm short?

"No, I was just thinking about a dream I had a long time ago."

"dream?"

Xu Qi nodded seriously.

“When I was in high school, I wanted to find a girlfriend who was much shorter than me, and then go out on dates with her. I always thought it would be cute to walk together with one taller and the other shorter.”

"What kind of old-fashioned anime aesthetic is this?"

The two veteran anime fans exchanged a glance and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Shall we go then? My short girlfriend."

"Don't call me short! I'm an adult!"

That's what she said, but Theresa still obediently offered her hand to Xu Qi, holding hands like this, on a date with her loved one...

whee.

However, Theresa quickly stopped giggling.

On the giant swing ride, Xu Qi thoughtfully helped Theresa fasten her seatbelt.

Theresa looked up at the hammer handle, which was at least a hundred meters high—not only would this thing start spinning, but more importantly, it would actually spin.

"Make sure you fasten your seatbelt properly, or you'll fly out of the seat."

"You'd be the one to fly away!"

Theresa grinned and said, "Who would think of riding a giant pendulum ride when they come to an amusement park with a girl? Shouldn't it be something like a carousel?"

Xu Qi explained in a serious tone, "Wouldn't that be falling into a cliché?"

"You f***ing!"

But in the footage, Theresa sits expressionlessly in her seat, even though she has been taken to the highest point by the pendulum ride, and is still rotating on her own axis while revolving around the sun.

"Ah...it seems a bit boring."

Hearing Xu Qi's words, Theresa nodded silently.

"Um……"

It might be like many years later, when you reopen your elementary school workbook where you solved equations, and there are problems on it that you thought you would never be able to solve in your life.

But judging from their abilities when they grow up—one look is enough.

For the new humans who readily push their exoskeleton armor to over 30G, superweight and weightlessness are already the most common experiences.

No matter how hard the giant swing tries, it cannot put even the slightest burden on any of their hearts.

then……

When Theresa looks into the distance from the perspective of being suspended high in the air, she sees a completely different scene.

"It's pretty good."

Xu Qi grinned.

"I told you, isn't it great? This is our carousel. If I really let you ride some other carousel, you'd be unhappy."

Theresa had a rather amused and exasperated feeling.

"Can it be the same? At least a carousel doesn't have screams all around your ears. It's an atmosphere! An atmosphere! You understand? You bastard who doesn't understand girls' hearts."

How could I possibly not understand?

However, Theresa seemed to have realized something as well.

Her relationship with Xu Qi had long since moved beyond the stage where they needed a carousel to create the right atmosphere.

Every minute and every second they spent together was a reason for their feelings to stir.

Tsk!

So this guy actually wants a hotel room for their date...

Once the giant swing came to a smooth stop, Xu Qi and Theresa acted as if they had never ridden it at all, getting up normally and then holding hands as usual.

"So, is there nothing left to do at this amusement park...?"

"No way? You chose the amusement park yourself, you didn't do your research, did you..."

Hearing the teasing in Xu Qi's words, Theresa blushed.

"Well... well... so what! Going on a date to do homework is something you should be thinking about! I'm already being very helpful by providing a location..."

"Pfft! Hahahaha!"

Theresa blushed.

"Laugh!...What are you laughing at!"

"It's nothing, but Theresa is really cute."

"Hmph! Praising me now won't do you any good, will it?"

Holding Theresa's soft, boneless little hand, they chatted and laughed all the way until they arrived near their destination.

Theresa raised her head slightly, and when she saw a huge Houmu icon, her gaze fixed on it! Even her breathing became rapid.

"Houmu Bumper Cars - This amusement park has many attractions co-branded with Houmu. I thought you knew about it, which is why you specifically chose this place."

Theresa changed the subject.

Xu Qi said with a mischievous grin.

"Oh dear~~ I love Houmu so much, but I didn't even know this amusement park had a Houmu-themed attraction, this is really..."

"What the hell! ...What are you doing! There are so many things related to Houmu in Shanghai, how could I possibly remember them all! Ugh!!! You're just making fun of me on purpose! Watch me smash my head against you! Theresa Impact!"

After saying that, Theresa deliberately bumped her little head into Xu Qi's stomach.

Xu Qi was so happy that he laughed heartily.

Theresa angrily raised her head, pouted, and looked at Xu Qi with an unfriendly expression.

Xu Qi didn't mind at all and reached out to tidy up the other person's messy hair.

The interactions between the young couple had already attracted the attention of many passersby.

Those who stopped to watch at this point seemed to feel as if their hearts were filled with something.

It's sweet and sour.

"So, are you still going to play?"

"Play!"

"Theresa's Big Crash!"

Shouting out jokes she'd picked up from who-knows-where, the girl drove her Houmei bumper car and crashed head-on into Xu Qi's Houmu bumper car.

What is this? It summons three Theresas for 8 mana to randomly attack enemy units?

Why don't you mention Nasita's Great Collision!

Despite the fact that this thing's impact is even less than that of a giant swing, Theresa was having a lot of fun on it.

Xu Qi was not to be outdone.

There were plenty of people playing bumper cars, and the track was filled with images of cars crashing and being crashed, but Xu Qi and Theresa always seemed to be able to pinpoint each other's cars perfectly, and then...

"Xu Qi, charge!"

He charged straight at it.

"What do you mean by 'Xu Qi's impact'?! You Shanghai guy!"

"Hmph~~ You'll have to suffer this sooner or later."

Theresa understood even such a risqué joke without batting an eye. The girl blushed bright red, made a cool drift with a fierce expression, and bumped into Xu Qi again.

"Theresa's Big Crash!"

"Xu Qi, charge!"

I don't know how two adults could play bumper cars and get so excited.

It clearly states that the suitable age is 3 to 12 years old...

Even after the tour was over, Theresa got out of the car with a look of lingering enjoyment.

"Hmph! I bumped into you 17 times, and you only bumped into me 12 times, so I win!"

So bumper cars can actually be a game where you win or lose?

Watching the little girl skipping ahead, Xu Qi was unaware that his face was full of unconcealed smiles, proving that he was just as good as her.

He walked up to Theresa and then gently bumped into her.

Hey! What are you doing?

Xu Qi raised his hands to indicate that he had scored a point.

"Xu Qi's attack."

Theresa: ? ? ?

However, the expected outburst of anger did not materialize. Theresa glanced at Xu Qi with a disdainful look and scoffed, "How childish, playing this kind of game."

Ugh?

Xu Qi scratched his head – “We agreed to be each other’s childish fools, didn’t we?”

With his hands in his pockets, he walked forward somewhat boredly, but after only a few steps, he was suddenly bumped into from behind!

"Theresa's Big Crash!"

Holy crap!

"Hahahahaha!"

Xu Qi turned around and saw Theresa holding her stomach, laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

"Well... they actually launched a sneak attack!"

Theresa finally stopped laughing, straightened up, put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest and raised her head, and said, "Hmph~~ All's fair in war."

So cute, Theresa.

Xu Qi stepped forward and gave Theresa's little head a good pinch, making little Theresa shake her head and complain, "Ugh! Stop touching it! You'll stunt your growth!"

Xu Qi let go of her hand, and Theresa couldn't wait to take out the map and start looking for the next place to visit.

"Hmph~~ Alright! Let's try all the Homu-themed attractions here today!"

"Sigh?" Xu Qi said with a bitter face.

"That's too much..."
