Chapter Index

    Shuang Yu went to the restroom. When he came out, he found Shi Heng, dressed all in black, standing in the crowd. His cold aura was completely at odds with the lively surroundings.

    He didn’t know how to describe the feeling Shi Heng gave him at that moment.

    Lonely, desolate, lost, and even a little… sad.

    Even though he was a big guy, he looked like a lost child who couldn’t find his way home, filled with helplessness and panic.

    Could it be… he had bad memories of amusement parks?

    “What are you spacing out for?”

    Shuang Yu walked up and patted Shi Heng’s shoulder.

    “Yu, you’re back! What should we ride first? I see they’re selling animal headbands over there, let’s go try them on!”

    In an instant, Shi Heng concealed all his emotions and reverted to that innocent, enthusiastic big boy. He took his hand and led him toward the merchandise stall.

    He picked up a bunny-ear headband and placed it on Shuang Yu’s head, laughing heartily. “So cute!”

    Shuang Yu shot him a glare.

    “You don’t like bunny ears? But… I like them a lot…”

    Shi Heng suddenly leaned close to his ear and chuckled in an extremely enchanting and deep voice.

    Through the mask, his voice was deeper than usual and faintly tinged with a hint of… danger.

    It made Shuang Yu think of that dangerous man.

    “Pick one for me. Do you like the wolf cub or the panda?”

    Shi Heng excitedly picked up two other headbands and held them up in front of him. When he noticed he was daydreaming, he asked with a pitiful expression, “Yu, you don’t want to hang out with me, do you?”

    “Not at all. I like the panda.”

    Snapping back to reality, Shuang Yu shook his head and pointed to the headband in his left hand.

    “Then I’ll get this one. Boss, how much is it?”

    Shi Heng happily put on the panda headband and took out his wallet to pay.

    Then he took out his phone, unlocked it, opened the camera, and took several pictures with his arm around Shuang Yu.

    “One, two, three… cheese! Now strike a cool pose, and then a funny face…”

    After taking the pictures, he excitedly checked them, only to cry out the next second, “Yu, why do you have the same expression in every photo!”

    “Because I have a deadpan face! Let’s go…”

    Shuang Yu said with a faint smile, eagerly grabbing him and heading toward the drop tower.

    “For the first ride, can we take it easy? I… I think my legs are a bit weak…”

    Shi Heng said with an awkward expression.

    “Then I’ll go by myself. You can wait for me down here?”

    “No, no, I’d better go with you. We’re brothers, how could I abandon you? If we’re going to die, we’ll die together!”

    He put on a desperate expression and pulled Shuang Yu to get in line.

    The drop tower started, and the crowd screamed. Shi Heng joined in, yelling at the top of his lungs, his face more excited and happy than anyone else’s.

    Inside the Spirit Bead, the Vicious Ghost also let out a spiritual scream, its ghost-aura-wreathed black eyes filled with intense excitement and joy.

    Shuang Yu, who was indifferent to amusement parks, was influenced by the man and the ghost. His lips curled up slightly. If he had known they would like it this much, he would have come sooner.

    “Let’s ride it again, let’s ride it again!”

    After they got off, Shi Heng refused to leave, dragging him to ride it five more times, still not having had enough.

    In the end, Shuang Yu had to drag him away.

    After that came the rollercoaster and the pendulum ride. They rode all the thrilling attractions several times over.

    In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting, and it was almost dinnertime.

    “There’s a fireworks show tonight. How about we have dinner here, walk around a bit, and then ride the Ferris wheel when the show is about to start?”

    Shi Heng had already planned out the evening.

    “I like fireworks. They’re fleeting, but they bring people beautiful memories.”

    The Vicious Ghost in the Spirit Bead spoke with anticipation.

    Honestly… there’s no helping them. They’re both like children.

    Shuang Yu’s eyes filled with helplessness, but he still nodded in agreement. “Alright, there are a few themed restaurants here. Let’s check them all out and eat at whichever one we like.”

    After dinner, it was already seven-thirty. The fireworks show didn’t start until nine, so the two decided to wander around and find a less crowded place to rest for a while.

    “I’ll go buy ice cream. You rest here for a bit.”

    Shuang Yu pointed to a nearby bench, signaling for Shi Heng to wait there, then turned and got in line to buy ice cream.

    When he returned, he found that Shi Heng was gone.

    Where did he go?

    He looked around but couldn’t find him. The ice cream in his hand was starting to melt. He had no choice but to use his magical power and finally located Shi Heng in front of the haunted house, about five hundred meters away.

    “That brat, I told him to wait for me here…”

    Shuang Yu muttered and hurried to his location.

    At the entrance of the haunted house, Shi Heng stood quietly in the crowd, staring intently at the attraction not far away.

    Childhood memories rushed toward him like a tidal wave.

    The robbers dressed as clowns, the endless sound of gunshots, his nanny who had helped him escape only to kidnap him…

    The world spun, and everything around him became a blur.

    He felt as if he were back in that suffocatingly cramped haunted house, the sound of panting echoing in his ears, the scent of Omega pheromones so thick it was nauseating.

    He was scared, terrified. He closed his eyes.

    His nanny grabbed him by the neck and slapped him hard. “Little Highness, I told you to study hard, why did you close your eyes? Don’t you like me the most? Then watch me properly…”

    The pheromones that had once brought him comfort ultimately became the fatal poison that nearly killed him…

    After being rescued, Shi Heng never came to an amusement park again.

    Just as he had told Shuang Yu, though the scars had healed, the pain from the past wasn’t something that could easily disappear.

    He thought he was mature enough to handle this place on his own.

    But it turned out that the shadows of his childhood still lingered, never forgotten…

    With Shuang Yu by his side, he could barely overcome the fear in his heart.

    But no matter what, he couldn’t overcome the trauma associated with the haunted house.

    He, in the end, didn’t have the courage… to step into the haunted house alone!

    His eyes filled with gloom and self-mockery. Shi Heng closed his eyes, let out a slow breath, and prepared to leave.

    Not far away, an Omega stumbled along the path, his cheeks flushed, and hot sweat constantly rolling down his face.

    Plop—

    His legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground with a whimper. A sweet, creamy pheromone scent swept over the area like a tidal wave.

    Most of the visitors to the amusement park on a weekend were married families or couples; single people were rare.

    The scene descended into chaos.

    Some grabbed their Alphas and fled quickly, while other kind-hearted citizens shouted to disperse the crowd and help call the police.

    Shi Heng’s face changed drastically. He covered his nose, wanting to escape, but that nauseatingly sweet pheromone scent clung to his legs like a life-reaping demon, rendering him immobile.
