Chapter 396: Pervasive Possessiveness
When they emerged from the restaurant, it was already half past two.
Feeling a little drowsy after eating her fill, Chi Xiaocheng still mustered her spirits, taking Su Tao's hand. "I'm a little sleepy. How about we go for something exciting next?"
Su Tao raised an eyebrow, instinctively glancing towards a group of people screaming in the sky.
The Super Vertical Roller Coaster. One of the amusement park's most terrifying advertised attractions, it was clearly designed to rival the Vertical Roller Coaster at Changlong Happy World in Yuecheng, reaching a maximum height of 65 meters! Its near 90-degree accelerated vertical plunge had become a thrilling nightmare for countless people.
A bit frightening. But how could she show weakness in front of Xiaocheng? Su Tao's gaze was firm and earnest. "I understand, Xiaocheng. You want to ride this roller coaster, right?"
Just then, another wave of screams echoed from overhead. Chi Xiaocheng's lips twitched, a bead of sweat forming on her brow. "Taotao, we just ate, we haven't even digested it yet. Do you really think an attraction that can shake all the food out of our stomachs is suitable?"
"Uh..." Su Tao rubbed her cheek, a little embarrassed. "Xiaocheng said something exciting, and that was the first thing I thought of."
Su Tao looked around. Things like the Giant Pendulum Ride were definitely out. Bumper cars and merry-go-rounds? For university students, those might even be more 'exciting' than a roller coaster.
Seeing Su Tao staring at the amusement park map, Chi Xiaocheng said helplessly, "Alright, just follow me. We'll walk slowly and digest our food along the way. Don't forget, Taotao, this amusement park actually has three main selling points."
The first was the thrilling vertical roller coaster. The second was the advertised Ferris wheel, rumored to reach a height of 250 meters, where clouds would be within reach when you got to the top. The third was a giant underground challenge complex!
This super-large venue combined elements of puzzle-solving, thrills, and horror. Playing this complex within the amusement park required an extra fee, and it wasn't cheap, ranging from 300 to 600 yuan per person depending on the content of the challenges. The amusement park had only recently opened, so there weren't many guides for the complex yet, but the advertisements claimed that one session would last between one and three hours. One could only imagine how immense its value truly was.
Chi Xiaocheng's goal was precisely this underground giant challenge complex! Clearing levels in such a complex would require brains, combat skills, and teamwork—none could be lacking. She, the sickly and delicate little orange, was clumsy and needed protection. In the complex, she could wholeheartedly rely on Taotao and thoroughly enjoy being protected. Moreover, such a place would be perfect for Taotao to demonstrate her boyfriend... er, girlfriend... er, to demonstrate her "manly" prowess. It was simply killing multiple birds with one stone.
Of course, Su Tao wouldn't refuse Chi Xiaocheng's suggestion to go to the complex; rather, she was delighted by it. In such a tense atmosphere, it would be the perfect opportunity to make a grand show of protecting Xiaocheng and heavily boost her favorability! If it reached a critical point, she could even try to confess using the suspension bridge effect.
Thinking this, Su Tao immediately took out her phone. Even while walking, she would periodically look down, searching for guides for the complex.
They saw many people along the way. Many were even holding selfie sticks or accompanied by a photographer. In an age where content creators and streamers were a dime a dozen, they were everywhere.
Chi Xiaocheng even felt that some of these streamers seemed to subtly glance at her and Su Tao, clearly hoping to use their good looks to boost their livestream's popularity.
No sooner had she thought this than a bold person took action. A girl with a low ponytail, wearing a simple long dress and glasses, walked over holding a selfie stick. But she didn't immediately shove the camera into Chi Xiaocheng's face; instead, she spoke very politely.
"Excuse me, young ladies," she said. "I'm a streamer. We just crossed paths, I don't know if you remember, but you're both so beautiful, and everyone in my livestream chat said you looked familiar and wanted to get to know you. Would that be okay?" Saying this, she took out the free gifts she had obtained earlier from her small bag. "Also, please accept these two gifts, consider them a token of friendship."
It's hard to refuse someone who's being so polite, especially when they're offering gifts. But Chi Xiaocheng didn't speak, instead tugging on Su Tao's arm.
The girl had already noticed the streamer as she approached, her eyes holding a hint of wariness. "May I ask what you're filming, and how many people are in your livestream chat?"
The girl with the low ponytail gave an embarrassed smile, subtly moving her selfie stick. It just happened to capture half the profiles of Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao, as she said, "I'm just a small streamer, there are less than three thousand people in my chat. I wouldn't do anything, just share the frame with me for a bit, then we can ask each other one or two questions?"
This was indeed a common way to interact with passersby. Unexpected questions could bring a lot of unpredictable yet compelling content to outdoor livestreams. Especially with such good-looking people like Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao. When their profiles were intentionally partially captured, the comments in the livestream chat already began to explode.
However, Su Tao's instincts were incredibly keen. She immediately understood the meaning behind the streamer's words. Share the frame with *her*, not with *her and Xiaocheng*! You want to share the frame with Xiaocheng, within this small camera? Wouldn't that mean getting very close, face to face? Su Tao knew there were many girls in this world, and some streamers who faked yuri relationships would find pretty girls to snuggle up to in various situations. Whether real or fake, it provided emotional value to the viewers.
Precisely because of this, after the girl finished her question, Su Tao's face had already hardened as she refused. "Sorry, but my sister and I have camera shyness. We'll have to pass on being on camera." With that, she pulled Chi Xiaocheng away without a word.
Refused so decisively, the girl with the low ponytail felt a little helpless. But from a distance, she overheard Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao's conversation.
"Taotao, why did you refuse? I thought it seemed quite fun."
"There were so many people in the livestream chat! Xiaocheng, you're so pretty, that's definitely not allowed. Just showing your face a little means you'll be remembered. What if Chu Lingfeng sets his sights on you again?"
"Eh? Taotao, is it really not because you didn't want me to share the frame with that streamer?"
"I'm thinking of your safety!"
Their conversation seemed to go beyond that of ordinary sisters.
The streamer looked back at her chat and noticed that even though the two had left, the viewers were still urging her to quickly capture their graceful figures and repeatedly discussing their appearance. She had a beauty filter on to a certain extent. Precisely because of this, when two naturally beautiful girls entered the frame, this beauty filter became a hindrance to them. The amount of comments in just a few minutes surpassed what the girl had gotten from half a day of streaming. This left a bitter taste in her mouth.
However, another special comment caught the girl's attention.
