Lost in love at the beginning, I backhand her best friend

Early August, Shanghai.

Wang Zihao and Liu Xiangxiang came here.

The construction and development of the Moon Island theme city has not yet reached one-tenth of its original completion, so we must continue to investigate similar theme parks.

Wang Zihao brought Liu Xiangxiang here not only to have fun, but also to visit this foreign theme park in Shanghai.

To Wang Zihao's surprise, the consumption in Shanghai theme parks this year was much more expensive than in previous years.

The first thing that surprised him was the hotel expenses in the theme park.

Liu Xiangxiang said that she had stayed in a hotel in the paradise five or six years ago, and she stayed in a high-standard room at that time.

The classmate who was traveling with me lived in the most ordinary standard room, which cost about 1600 yuan, was more than square meters, and had two single beds that were meters wide.

The highlight of the ordinary standard room is the large window. When you open the window, you can see the view of the park. You can only see the ordinary garden view. If you want to see the lake view, the price will be higher.

Now the price of the same room type has risen to more than 3800 yuan, and this is the price for advance booking. If there are rooms available for booking on the same day, the price will directly rise to five or six thousand yuan.

The price of five or six thousand does not include breakfast. If you want breakfast, it will cost an additional three hundred per person.

Even the luxury hotels along the Bund in Shanghai only charge around 3,000 yuan during the peak season, which also includes a hearty breakfast.

For the sake of experience, the room that Wang Zihao and Liu Xiangxiang stayed in was not a theme room - you could take photos with the dolls, or have the dolls tell you stories before bed, but you had to pay extra.

However, after asking around, I learned that the puppets' storytelling was like reading a PPT without any emotion, and the group photos were also perfunctory.

What is earned is sentiment and the money of the children's parents.

If the child had not asked Wang Zihao to choose, he would definitely not have chosen to stay in the hotel there.

What Liu Xiangxiang is most looking forward to is shopping, but the park is very good at hunger marketing. There are more than a dozen peripheral products in the park that require drawing lots to purchase, but they can be purchased directly in the hotel store.

Even if you stay in a hotel, there will be purchase limits. Everyone must first register with their check-in information, and a room can only be purchased once a day.

This kind of hunger marketing gives people the illusion that "if you don't buy it quickly, you will miss it later." Liu Xiangxiang bought eight or nine dolls in total, each of which cost about three to five hundred yuan.

All in all, I spent more than 4,000 yuan on shopping alone.

Spend what you should spend and save what you should save. After coming back, Wang Zihao calculated that it was acceptable to spend 4000 yuan to stay in the paradise hotel for one night to satisfy the child's wish, but middle-class adults could not bear to spend one more night.

He and Liu Xiangxiang bought eleven items of Premium Express, which cost nearly 1800 yuan per person and almost 3600 yuan for two people.

This summer, the park's ticket prices increased for the fifth time in eight years since its opening. The ticket prices now exceed those of similar theme parks in neighboring developed countries by two to three hundred yuan.

Wang Zihao just felt that the Chinese people spoiled him because he was fearless and had an ugly eating habit.

The ticket price is a small expense compared to what you spend inside.

The prices of food in the park are very high. A large ice cream costs 208 yuan, a bottle of mineral water costs ten yuan, and a bottle of Coke costs fifteen yuan.

In order to save money, some people queue up to get drinking water. In some places, you have to queue for twenty minutes to get a glass of water. It is not easy to save 10 yuan.

The food was not cheap either. There was a very popular turkey leg, the size of a palm, which cost 85 yuan. A young mother asked about the price and left with her child.

"The cost of this trip to the theme park for ordinary people was nearly 15,000 yuan for one day and one night." In Shanghai, in a hotel, the river view is unobstructed outside the window. Inside the window, Wang Zihao is talking on the phone with Xu Meili from Junsha.

Xu Meili frowned: "With this money, I can go to the Maldives for a week-long vacation, or even join a tour group to Europe and the United States. One week's tour for one person costs about 10,000 yuan."

"They are harvesting our middle-class families," Wang Zihao sighed. "But even if we know we are being harvested, we have no other choice. For those who don't live in Shanghai, if their children want to go out to play, they can only do so during the summer vacation. The rest of the time, neither the parents nor the children are free."

It is the wish of many children to visit Shanghai Park and stay at the Park Hotel. Many adults will reluctantly spend 15,000 yuan to pay for their children's wishes.

Judging from the price, Shanghai Amusement Park has positioned itself as the number one amusement park in Panda Country, recognizing that no matter how much the price increases, there will always be parents spending money.

In the eyes of many people, this is not only a paradise, but also the entrance to a fairy tale world.

But this fairy tale world is becoming more and more realistic and profitable.

You can't move forward without spending money, and you feel uncomfortable after spending money.

I bought an Express Pass and spent almost the entire day queuing.

Entrance to the park opens at 8:30 in the morning, and you can enter one hour earlier if you check into the hotel. When I got up early in the morning and took the shuttle bus to the gate, it was not yet 7:30, and there were still more than a hundred people queuing at the gate.

Some people fainted from heat stroke while queuing, some people got into fights because of queue jumping, some people queued with their children and were reluctant to leave because they had been queuing for a long time, and even let their children urinate and defecate on the spot. There was also a news report in the past two days about a girl who went to the toilet while queuing, and when she came back she was told that she had to queue again if she had been in the toilet for more than 20 minutes. The girl collapsed and had a conflict with the staff. People who have played this game understand her collapse, as she may have been queuing for several hours.

Those who didn't buy the Premium Pass had to wait in line for an hour and a half, and the Thunder Mountain rafting project even took three hours.

"The facilities and services are inadequate, the prices are high, and the experience is average." Wang Zihao was in a very unhappy mood, as if he was watching his own family's crops being harvested.

There are very few places in the park for tourists to rest, and some places that should have chairs do not have them.

There are no chairs in the tourist service center, and you cannot enter to enjoy the air conditioning if you don’t have any business to handle.

What I find most incomprehensible is that some restaurants don’t even have chairs.

I originally wanted to take a good rest during lunch time, but after waiting in line for half an hour and entering a restaurant, I found out that there was only a place to order food. The ordering time was more than ten seconds, which was equivalent to only using the air conditioner for more than ten seconds, and I had to eat under the scorching sun.

There was a puppet that was created out of thin air and waited the longest in the queue for interactive photos, more than an hour. Some people on the social platform said that they even waited for six hours.

Wang Zihao didn't understand why it took so long to wait in line to take a photo with the doll. He also saw a lady in her thirties or forties who treated the doll as a spiritual sustenance. She kept telling the doll about her recent troubles, and at the end she hugged the doll tightly and said, "You have to take care of yourself."

People nowadays no longer worship Buddha, but have started worshiping dolls.

"Bubble Paradise, a century-old IP, is full of vanity," said Xu Meili.

“Seeing so many people willing to be cheated, I think our Moon Island will also cheat them in the future. They deserve it.” Wang Zihao sighed.

"Our 'Spirited Away' attraction on Moon Island has been very busy these days, with many people queuing up to experience it. I believe that in a few years, there will be even more people who are interested in it," said Xu Meili.

The next day, Wang Zihao and Liu Xiangxiang left Shanghai and returned to Junsha.

The Asian Games promotional songs and theme songs can be heard in the streets and alleys.

"Welcome to another dawn

bring fresh air
The breath changes, the taste remains the same
The fragrance of tea fills the air with friendship
My door is always open
open arms waiting for you

There is a tacit understanding after hugging
you will fall in love here
......"

In the second half of August, Liu Qianqian gave birth to a big fat boy weighing more than six kilograms in the hospital.

His surname is Liu, and his name was chosen by Wang Zihao - Liu Xingyu.

Liu Qianqian once asked him what the name meant and where it came from.

Wang Zihao said that he came from a meteor shower and hoped that his life would be as brilliant as fireworks.

Liu Qianqian was not satisfied until Wang Zihao said that the universe was more vast and majestic than the stars, then she smiled.

Even my own sister is competing with me.

Wang Zihao has a headache.

Don’t be fooled by his nonchalant appearance. Actually, he has never played in a duo row, let alone a five-person row.

To celebrate the birth of Liu Xingyu, Wang Zihao and Liu Yueyue played music at Wind's Whisper that night until midnight.

One afternoon in mid-September, Wang Zihao was playing with Liu Xingyu at Wind's Whisper and Liu Piaopiao, who was on vacation.

Liu Yueyue came over again.

She is as gentle as ever, with every strand of her hair revealing a hint of tenderness, and her brows revealing the unique tenderness of an oriental woman.

The off-white dress perfectly sets off her figure, neither too flashy nor losing her feminine beauty.

Her calm attitude and warm eyes always make Wang Zihao feel inexplicably safe and kind.

in the room.

After sitting on the bed for a long time, Wang Zihao pulled up Liu Yueyue who was kneeling on the ground.

Liu Yueyue stopped his hand: "You have to think of another name for the baby."

"What do you mean?" Wang Zihao was a little anxious.

"Sanbao is here." Liu Yueyue's voice was gentle. (End of this chapter)
