Chapter 93

After waiting for a long time with no response, Wu Di sent a question mark. Soon, a reply came back:

"Yaoyao is crying in the blanket!"

Wu Di was startled,

"What's going on?"

"It's nothing, she just had a bit to drink and needs to let off some steam. It's all my fault."

"What happened?"

"She didn't pass the civil service exam and feels a lot of pressure. My family found me a job in the capital, so I encouraged her to come out and relax. But the job she's applying for is very competitive, and the salary is low. I can't really help her much right now."

"Don't worry, things aren't that bad. There will be changes."

"But Yaoyao is really pitiful."

"I'll take you both out to play tomorrow and relax properly."

"Thank you, Wu Di. I'm going to sleep."

The next morning, Wu Di took a taxi straight to the corner gate. The place where Wen Lan and the others lived wasn't far from Wu Di's rental apartment. However, their building was more dilapidated, and the hygiene conditions were poor. He wondered how these two fairy-like girls could endure it.

After waiting for a while downstairs, the two girls came down, wearing T-shirts and jeans. Wu Di's eyes lit up, but then he was kicked by Meng Yao,

"Our Lan sister doesn't like perverts!"

"It was involuntary!"

Wu Di's face turned red, but no one noticed.

Wen Lan ignored Meng Yao, knowing that getting entangled with this crazy girl would never end. She smiled at Wu Di and asked,

"Where are we going today?"

"First, we'll have breakfast at Qingfeng Baozi Shop, then we'll go hiking at Phoenix Ridge. Look, everything is prepared."

Wu Di proudly shook the large backpack on his shoulder.

"Heavens, it's so hot today. I'll get sunburned, no way I'm going!"

"Then we'll go with the second plan, rowing at the Summer Palace."

Wu Di was well-prepared.

"Still have to be in the sun, right?"

"Then—how about finding a cool place to hang out for the day?"

Wu Di thought the third, fourth, and fifth plans would also be rejected, so he directly used his ultimate move, passing the ball.

Meng Yao rolled her eyes,

"What are we doing here? Boy, you're the one chasing a girlfriend, right? Don't be so perfunctory, I'm creating opportunities for you!"

This statement was too powerful, even Wen Lan couldn't handle it, so she tickled Meng Yao. The two girls started to play.

"Afraid of the sun? Need to let off steam? Want to play? Let's go to Happy Valley! Or Water Cube!"

"Great, let's go to Happy Valley! I want to ride the roller coaster, the Brave Warrior, and the—"

Wu Di was speechless, hoping they would still be able to call out after the rides. He had taken clients from out of town to Happy Valley before, where there were things much more thrilling than what Meng Yao mentioned, like the Trojan Horse and the Heaven and Earth Duo. Just watching from below made people dizzy, let alone sitting on them.

After breakfast, the three of them took a taxi to Happy Valley. Since it was the weekend, there were many people, but there were also many ticket windows, so the queue moved quickly. Wen Lan wanted to pay, but Wu Di shouted at her, and she obediently stood back. Meng Yao didn't hear clearly and turned to ask. Wen Lan smiled,

"It's a matter of face!"

"Face? I hope this boy doesn't eat instant noodles for the next week!"

"What should we do first?"

Looking through the colorful brochure, Meng Yao was very excited, and Wen Lan's face was also a bit red. Wu Di smiled bitterly,

"Those who know how to play start with the semi-automatic washing machine."

"Is there such a ride? Where is it? How does it work?"

Wu Di pointed to the Oset Tour on the map and smiled bitterly,

"After this ride, you'll be soaked. Then you can dry off on the Trojan Horse, so it's called the semi-automatic washing machine. I should warn you, I can accompany you on the Oset Tour, but I won't dare to ride the Trojan Horse."

Wen Lan's eyes lit up,

"Why hesitate? Let's go queue up!"

Wu Di was a bit stunned; why was she more excited than Meng Yao?

"Hmph! Let me show you how crazy Lan sister can be! Back in the day, we were the invincible three heroines... Adi, can you change your name?"

After queuing for over half an hour, they finally got on the big boat. When it rushed down the 20-meter slope, Wu Di screamed wildly, feeling his heart almost jump out of his mouth. The worst part was that some unknown person had put a coin in the water gun at the end, and when the three of them passed, a strong jet of water hit them, making them look quite miserable! They were drenched from head to toe, feeling thoroughly chilled.

Dripping wet, they queued up for the Trojan Horse. When they got there, they found that everyone in the queue was also wet. Wu Di glanced at the two girls; fortunately, they were wearing dark-colored cotton T-shirts. If they were like the girl in front, they would have been exposed.

"What are you looking at? Tell me, I'll help you think."

"Hehe, nothing, I wasn't looking at anything."

"You have the heart but not the courage!"

The Trojan Horse started again. Watching the people on it being tossed around and screaming, Wu Di felt his legs cramp up. He tried to move to the side, but Wen Lan gave him a look, and he stood there with a bitter smile. Well, others sacrifice their lives for gentlemen, but I'm sacrificing my life for beauties, and it's a two-for-one deal. I'll go all out!

Wu Di was sandwiched between Wen Lan and Meng Yao, sitting down with trepidation. The carousel started to accelerate slowly. Wu Di knew this was the hardest part; once it sped up, it would be easier to just scream. Just as he was feeling anxious, a small, wet hand grabbed his left hand, and then another cold hand grabbed his right hand. He looked to his left and right and saw two pale faces with closed eyes. Ha, so you're afraid too!

Just as he was feeling relieved, the carousel suddenly accelerated, and Wu Di's breath was taken away, almost making his chest burst. Suddenly, a cool sensation rose from his wrists, circled his chest, and he instantly felt normal again. Before he could think about the cool sensation, he felt like he was being twisted and thrown around by a powerful force, and a sense of fear rose in his heart. Why hold back? Scream!

When the three of them got off the carousel, they were mostly dry. Meng Yao shouted that it was thrilling and pointed to the distant jungle roller coaster,

"Roller coaster! Let's go!"

After a small experience on the roller coaster, it was already noon. Wu Di suggested,

"Let's eat something first. Otherwise, low blood sugar will be even worse. But don't eat too much; the next rides are even more thrilling."

After riding the Snowy Golden Wings and the Crystal Divine Wings, even Wen Lan, who had been the most excited at the beginning, couldn't keep up. Wu Di, however, felt good, probably thanks to the cool sensation.

Pointing to the carousel on the map, Wu Di said,

"Let's go, we'll fight for a spot with the kids and rest a bit."

The two girls on the carousel recovered their spirits and smiled sweetly. Wu Di heard a little kid tell his mother, "Auntie is so beautiful!" He also noticed that the male parents taking photos of their children unconsciously shifted their cameras. As the escort of the two girls, he felt a sense of pride.

After resting for a while, they experienced the Heaven and Earth Duo and the Sun God Car and then left. After eating some snacks at Huguo Temple, Wu Di sent the two girls back to their rental apartment. He then received a call from Zhong Qi, and his mother summoned him.

The old lady dealt with Zhong Qi, while Zhong Qing talked to Wu Di. She first asked about his recent life, then shifted the topic to his future plans. Wu Di had already made up his mind and answered,

"Maybe it's due to my personality, but I definitely won't consider joining the military or politics. I want to examine the market and start a jewelry and jade company, or directly deal in raw jade."

Zhong Qing wasn't surprised at all and smiled,

"I thought you wanted to open an antique shop in Panjiayuan."

"Can you call it an antique shop? It's more like an art gallery."

"Let me give you a preview of the elders' suggestions. I think they are quite comprehensive. You can consider them first and then talk to me when you've made up your mind. First, continue your studies, either in history or archaeology. Old Chang believes it will be very helpful for your foundational knowledge. Second, join the military. Start as a captain and follow the active combat unit, and you might reach the rank of colonel within ten years. Third, enter politics. Start at the township level and then follow the Youth League path, which can also lead to a quick promotion. Fourth, go into business. However, the family's resources are limited in this area, so you'll have to rely on your own efforts. Don't rush to tell me your answer; you can consult your parents first."

Wu Di's phone suddenly beeped with a message from Wen Lan,

"Thank you again, sincerely. Meng Yao and I had a great time. I'm
