My Girlfriend is the Cutest in the World

 “What do you want to do?” While her imagination was running wild, his voice entered her ears.

    “Ah.” She responded reflexively, then looked around and casually pointed to a very large shack, “What’s that, ah?”

    “I don’t know,” Su Lin squinted for a second, “Let’s go take a look.”

    Lu Yuanyuan nodded.

    After getting closer, Su Lin saw some small and fluorescent green letters printed on the edge of the shed:

    [Deceptive Bumper Cars, Deceiving You For Fun.]

    “……”

    He once again cursed Qin Fang in his heart.

    This goddamn amusement park.

    When he turned his head, about to tell her they should move onto the next attraction, he happened to bump into Lu Yuanyuan’s raised line of sight.

    She was wearing a ponytail today, and dressed in white sportswear. All of the reservation that was on her face just now was gone. Her eyes staring at him were bright, “Senior, let’s do this.”

    He froze for a moment, “…… You want to play this?” Bumper cars?

    She nodded vigorously, “Mm-hmm.”

    “Let’s play…. th…..”

    He hadn’t even finished saying ‘then’ when Lu Yuanyuan swiftly and eagerly headed to the ticket inspection area.

    “……” Alright.

    Su Lin looked at her bouncing back, laughed a little, and followed her.

    Su Lin didn’t know why Lu Yuanyuan wanted to ride bumper cars. When the two were about to take their seats before entering the arena, he was silent when she volunteered to sit in the driver’s seat.

    Then he asked again, “Are you sure…. you want to drive?”

    Lu Yuanyuan has been in a state of excitement since the beginning, “Senior! Believe in my skills! Let me drive!”

    “…… Okay.” What else could he say.

    Lu Yuanyuan moved nimbly into the bumper car that was low on the ground and buckled up, doing all this within a dozen seconds.

    Su Lin: “……”

    He frowned slightly and extended his legs to get into the car.

    After sitting down, the two went silent again.

    Lu Yuanyuan’s eyes were very sincere: “Senior, your legs are really long….”

    His knees were pressing against the low car frame, so long that the bumper car pretty much had no room left.

    Lu Yuanyuan looked down at herself again.

    She was different. She had short legs, and felt particularly comfortable sitting down.

    Su Lin pinched the bridge of his nose, “Mm, drive.”

    “You haven’t put on your seat belt yet.”

    “……” He was about to say he wouldn’t, but he saw the little girl’s furrowed eyebrows when he looked up.

    She well-meaningly persuaded him, “Senior, safety first. Put it on.”

    After Su Lin complied and properly buckled his seatbelt, he hung his head and somewhat regretfully curled his lips.

    Fuck.

    He never thought that, one day, he would actually go with a girl to play bumper cars.

    Especially, sitting in the passenger seat.

    Especially, without even the slightest reluctance.

    Not waiting for him to lament further, an enormous recoil made his upper body violently jolt back against the seat. The force was too intense and it took him a moment to calm down. When he recovered, just about to remind her to be more careful, their car ruthlessly crashed into the red bumper car moving slowly in front of them.

    The little red car in front was boosted ahead a long distance, sending out the sound of two girls screaming in excitement.

    “……”

    It was that exciting???

    He looked over and saw happiness written across Lu Yuanyuan’s face. Noticing his eyes on her, because the sound of braking and screaming around them were too noisy, she yelled at him with her soft voice as she turned the steering wheel to hit another car.

    “Senior! Fun-right-! Feel-happy-!”

    Su Lin: “……”

    –

    The bumper car area was very spacious. Because there was a shed roof above, there was no sunshine, so it was nice and cool.

    At the beginning, Su Lin didn’t want her to sit in the driver’s seat, because he was afraid she’d be scared to drive or frightened out of her skin after getting bumped into.

    This half hour, he watched the little girl’s fair hands on the steering wheel, skillfully turning, accelerating, and ruthlessly hitting other cars, the skillfulness and effortlessness able to be described as flowing smoothly.

   …. He had clearly overthought it.

    When the time was up, Lu Yuanyuan was still a little unsatisfied. After unbuckling the seat belt, she was reluctant and dragging her feet. She now looked like a completely different person from when she first got into the driver’s seat.

    The duo left the Deceptive Bumper Cars.

    “Senior!” After playing on the bumper cars, she felt at ease all over, “What are we going to play next?”

    Su Lin’s heart was vaguely excited.

    Finally, it’ll be put to good use.

    When he stayed up late last night waiting for Qin Fang to fall asleep, he searched up the best things to do when taking girls to amusement parks.

    Excluding the merry-go-round and recreating a scene from a cringey TV drama on the ferris wheel, the answer that received the highest number of votes was the haunted house.

    The amusement park had a directory set up every so often. Su Lin brought the bouncing little bunny to the nearest directory, reaching out to point to one of the attractions.

    “Let’s do this.”

    Lu Yuanyuan looked at it and her eyes grew wide, “Ghost, ghost haunted house?!”

    “Mm.” Su Lin nodded, “It’ll be okay, don’t be afraid.”

    He began to recall what the how-to guide’s “Three lines you must use when trying to convince a girl to go to a haunted house.”

    He’d just finished saying the first line.

    The third line….

    Although it was tempting, it wasn’t appropriate right now.

    So he said the second line: “I’ll be with you the whole time.”

    “……”

    Lu Yuanyuan raised her head from the map.

    When she stood up properly, she was still much shorter than him, let alone now when she was bent over and he was standing.

    Didn’t they say that looking at someone from the bottom up would be ugly….

    Lu Yuanyuan looked at the good-looking curve of his jawline. Because his eyes were lowered, the corners of his eyes looked even longer. Words Lin Xi had said when she was starry-eyed popped up in her brain:

    – “Besides celebrities, Su Shuai’s the most attractive person I’ve ever seen my whole life.”

   ….

    In fact, if she thought about it, he was also the most attractive person she’d ever seen.

    The senior whose attractiveness could rival celebrities just seemed to have said something….

    “I’ll always be with you”?

    Lu Yuanyuan’s ears suddenly replayed the sentence he’d said.

    With her face about to burn up again, she immediately straightened up and walked forward without looking back, “Let’s go, then.”

    If you want to go, go….

    Why say that kind of thing, ah….

    “Lu Yuanyuan.”

    “……” She stopped in her tracks.

    Because the blush on her face hadn’t yet subsided, she didn’t want to look back at him.

    “You’re going the wrong way,” His voice came again, “The haunted house’s over there behind me.”

    “……”

    Su Lin watched as the little girl walked back like a frost-beaten eggplant1, her little ears appearing scarlet-red.

1 Idiom that means beaten/dispirited.

I didn’t realize until now that I hadn’t posted the chapter so here it is!!
