Chapter 395: The Hunter And The Prey (Bonus Chapter For Shi Nanzhu)
It was already 12:30 PM by the time they arrived at the amusement park.
Chi Xiaocheng still remembered Dongfang Yang saying last time that this amusement park was newly opened by their Dongfang family. Looking at it from the outside now, not only were the facilities new and the environment good, but because it was newly opened and still in its novelty phase, the sheer number of visitors was truly immense.
The queue for ticket inspection stretched into a long line.
Su Tao, who had originally intended to quietly enjoy their time together, was stunned. "There are too many people here, aren't there? Is this newly opened amusement park really that popular?"
From a distance, Chi Xiaocheng saw the words "Redeem a gift with your ticket stub" written at the ticket gate.
She couldn't help but touch her chin. "You know, Dongfang Yang's business ventures have always been philanthropic. Online tickets don't seem expensive, so maybe it's also the novelty factor?"
Plus it was the weekend, so there were many more families and couples.
Su Tao took a deep breath. "Xiaocheng, hold my hand tightly, don't get lost."
She already considered this trip to the amusement park a formidable challenge!
With so many people, Xiaocheng might get lost.
It's so crowded; what if someone secretly bumped into Xiaocheng and tried to take advantage of her?
But with her hand held the whole way, Chi Xiaocheng felt her palm starting to sweat.
She smiled helplessly. "Alright, Taotao, don't be so nervous. Let's take the VIP channel over there, that's our privilege, you know."
The amusement park's official ticketing website did sell VIP tickets directly, but they were very, very expensive.
Most people wouldn't choose to buy them just for a ticket and some perks.
So, seeing Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao walk into the VIP channel, those in the queue didn't have much of a reaction, mostly just marveling at how beautiful the two girls were.
Their first stop upon entering the amusement park was directly to the best lunch spot there.
Neither of them had eaten yet; they needed to eat their fill to have the energy to play.
However, as they passed a hands-on self-service restaurant, Su Tao tugged on Chi Xiaocheng's arm again.
"What's wrong, Taotao?"
Su Tao thought for a moment. "How about we cook our own food?"
Outside, there were actually quite a few such self-service kitchens, fully stocked with all sorts of ingredients and complete with all the necessary kitchenware, catering to those who enjoyed cooking but lacked certain facilities, or were even too lazy to wash pots and pans.
Or perhaps, those who wanted to try some completely new "dark cuisine."
Naturally, such self-service kitchens required payment.
Su Tao just hadn't expected that the amusement park would also have such facilities.
If the Supreme VIP ticket covered it for free, she'd rather cook it herself, compared to the park's low-value-for-money restaurants.
With a thought, Su Tao said to Chi Xiaocheng, "Xiaocheng, how about I teach you how to cook?"
Chi Xiaocheng smiled helplessly. "Oh, Taotao, don't underestimate me too much. If it's home-style cooking, I've already learned it."
"Mainly, it's about experiencing someone else's well-equipped kitchen. It's free anyway, come on!"
Dragging Chi Xiaocheng into the self-service restaurant, after the two showed their ticket stubs, the original receptionist became the manager.
The manager very thoughtfully introduced the services there to them.
As Supreme VIPs, Su Tao could freely choose anything, whether it was ingredients, kitchenware, or even the kitchen itself.
But there was a rule here: no matter how the dishes turned out, they either had to be packed to go or eaten in the restaurant. They couldn't just be made and then abandoned there, as that would be too wasteful of ingredients.
As for dishes that turned into "dark cuisine," naturally, they had to be dealt with personally.
After understanding the rules, Su Tao began to select ingredients.
There definitely wasn't time for stewing soup, so she picked some things that weren't complicated, cooked quickly, and were nutritious.
What they cooked wasn't important.
What mattered was who they cooked with.
Evidently, Su Tao had also understood this. After selecting the ingredients, she said to Chi Xiaocheng, "Xiaocheng, can you help wash two carrots and then peel them?"
"Okay~"
A meal cooked together held extraordinary meaning.
The height of the stove was somewhat unexpected; Chi Xiaocheng had to strain on her tiptoes just to barely reach the faucet.
Having no other option, she could only move a small stool over and step onto it with her small feet clad in white socks, which gave her just the right height.
However, with her "clumsy" persona, she appeared a little flustered when using the small peeler.
Her awkwardness was quite adorable.
But in reality, Su Tao was just waiting for this moment.
She held an apron and came up behind Chi Xiaocheng. "Seriously, you don't even bring an apron. What if you get your clothes dirty?"
"Hands up."
"Oh..."
Chi Xiaocheng obediently raised her hands, and Su Tao quickly wrapped the apron around her small body, tying it on.
Then she stood aside, watching Chi Xiaocheng peel the carrot.
She then "helplessly" came up behind Chi Xiaocheng again.
"Xiaocheng is truly clumsy, you don't peel carrots like that. You'll cut yourself like that, you know."
Su Tao leaned close to Chi Xiaocheng, her chest resting against Xiaocheng's back, and her arms wrapped around Chi Xiaocheng's sides, taking hold of her small hands.
Behind her was softness.
In front was hands-on instruction.
Su Tao's fingers were long and slender, with beautifully aligned and articulated knuckles; whereas Chi Xiaocheng's were delicate little hands.
One large and one small, perfectly intertwined there.
And because they were so close, Su Tao's nose almost brushed against Chi Xiaocheng's neck. Without even trying too hard, the faint, unique orange scent, belonging solely to Chi Xiaocheng, drifted into Su Tao's nostrils.
Upon closer inspection, one could also notice a faint blush at Chi Xiaocheng's earlobes.
Su Tao's lips curved into a smile; she could feel Chi Xiaocheng's small hands stiffen slightly.
Xiaocheng was shy.
So adorable~
Hmph, hahahaha!
This is exactly the reaction I wanted!
Adorable Xiaocheng, flustered by the intimate contact, was at my mercy. She might say that a romantic relationship between sisters isn't possible, but she still gets shy when I'm close. Her subconscious affection for me keeps her from resisting.
Xiaocheng, feigning resistance yet welcoming intimacy—pure delight.
Taking the initiative behind Chi Xiaocheng like this, Su Tao thoroughly enjoyed the girl's body scent before finally, in a proper manner, beginning to teach Chi Xiaocheng how to correctly peel a carrot.
Was cooking together truly just for that one meal?
Little did she know, the true intention was not what it seemed.
But what Su Tao didn't realize even more was that a sophisticated hunter often strikes in the guise of prey.
As she earnestly taught, she didn't notice at all that Chi Xiaocheng had been secretly enjoying herself the whole time.
Taotao was so close.
So soft... hehe...
It wasn't until this delicious lunch was over that Su Tao finally declared this date a success.
Holding hands and strolling through the streets before? That was totally lame.
A real date should involve closeness!
Having eaten her fill, Su Tao actively started clearing the dishes. "Xiaocheng, you rest for a bit. I'll wash the bowls."
Chi Xiaocheng was puzzled. "Won't the staff clean this up?"
Su Tao looked at the chopsticks Chi Xiaocheng had just used and smiled slightly. "Let's not trouble them. Consider it a way to aid digestion."
Carrying the dishes and chopsticks, she entered the kitchen.
The plates and such could naturally just be rinsed quickly.
But the chopsticks and bowl Chi Xiaocheng had used, Su Tao scrubbed them with dish soap again and again...
