Chapter 254 Chapter 253 Unexpected Backlash

Xu Zhe originally thought he would be scared.

Before he sat in, he had imagined that he might shout uncontrollably, or even cry into his arms, shouting "Mom, I want to go down" like a character in a comedy movie...

But when the roller coaster rushed down the steep slope and his whole body was enveloped in a sense of weightlessness, he was extremely calm.

He was even calmer than he expected.

From the highest point to the lowest point, the track ahead changes into a rolling shape.

The thrill of the roller coaster is getting stronger and stronger, but Xu Zhe is still not very afraid.He even began to think about why he wasn't afraid.

Is it because you have a restraint and a seat belt on you that you know you are safe?Is the mere "rational knowledge of one's own safety" enough to suppress instinctive fear?
Or is it because of the hand that he is holding tightly at this moment?

Xu Zhe's right hand was still tightly entangled with Shen Lan's left hand.This level of closeness can no longer be described by simply 'ten fingers intertwined'.The knuckles of the two hands were clasped together and locked together. The intensity of the force made the fingers hurt.

He felt a little pain, and it was not difficult to imagine that Shen Lan felt the same.But her fingers were still so strong, with no intention of relaxing.

Xu Zhe suddenly realized that maybe it was this feeling of being tightly entangled that gave him an extra sense of security, right?

After all, what he fears most is not the pain, but the loneliness of having to huddle in a corner.What he fears is the gloomy and hopeless life.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

When Xu Zhe came back to his senses, he found that his ears were filled with screams.Some of these sounds came from the mouths of other passengers in the front row, but there were also quite a few sound waves that came from the girls next to them.

He turned his head and glanced.

Shen Lan's hair and earrings were flying up and down.But what was even more chaotic was obviously her soul at this time.

The girl closed her eyes tightly, sometimes screaming "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", and sometimes clenching her teeth.

Xu Zhe observed carefully and found that whenever the roller coaster stabilized, Shen Lan began to grit her teeth; and whenever the roller coaster lost weight or rolled, she would scream.

This pattern made Xu Zhe laugh out loud: "Hahaha..."

Shen Lan immediately noticed his laughter, still closing her eyes, but said angrily: "Why are you laughing?!"

"I'm not laughing..." Xu Zhe changed his mind mid-sentence, "Okay, I'm just laughing at you."

Shen Lan became even more angry: "What?!"

But Xu Zhe said: "Because you look so cute now."

"cute?"

Shen Lan was stunned, and even opened her eyes blankly and looked at him.

In the air, their eyes met.Xu Zhe had a smile on his face and a kind of gentle love in his eyes.But Shen Lan, who had always been confident and strong, seemed to be seen deep in her heart at this moment, her eyes full of panic and weakness.

He said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Okay...ahhhhhh!"

It was supposed to be a very romantic scene, but after a brief calm, this abominable roller coaster took another Stuka-like dive, turning Shen Lan's gentle response into a scream.

She closed her eyes tightly again, so she didn't see Xu Zhe's expression at this time.

The boy didn't laugh anymore, but he stared at her and couldn't stop the smile on his face.

After an unknown amount of time, the roller coaster finally stabilized completely.

"We're here, we're here," Xu Zhe reminded, "It's time to get off the car."

Shen Lan cautiously opened her eyes and saw that the pressure bar was raised automatically.Xu Zhe had already unbuckled his own seat belt, then reached over and unbuckled hers.Xu Zhe stood up first.He was about to step out, but saw Shen Lan still sitting there motionless, so he asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

Shen Lan gritted her teeth and used both hands to push herself up, but her legs still didn't work well.She finally stood up, her calves still shaking, as if she might fall down at any time.

Xu Zhe quickly stretched out his hands to support her.

But Shen Lan's calves softened and she fell into his arms, unable to use any strength.

Xu Zhe couldn't help but ask: "Are you so scared?"

Shen Lan's little face was buried in his chest and she didn't say a word.She just felt her face was burning now, she was so ashamed that she didn't want to say anything.

"Hey, get off the car!" the staff shouted to them.

Xu Zhe hesitated for a moment and decided to change his position.His hands that were originally holding the girl's shoulders moved down and hugged her waist.Then with a strong force, he picked her up and stepped out of the roller coaster.

"Ah ah -" Shen Lan couldn't help but let out a small cry after being carried into the air again.

Xu Zhe's physical strength was quite good, so he carried her out of the roller coaster and placed her on a nearby bench.Then he sat next to him and asked with a smile: "How do you feel now?"

For Shen Lan, the fear caused by the roller coaster has gradually faded, but she still lowered her head as if there were writing on the ground.

After a long silence, she suddenly said: "I didn't expect the roller coaster to be so scary."

Xu Zhe: "It's the first time, it's normal."

"It's not normal at all!" Shen Lan raised her head and stared at him, "Why aren't you afraid?"

Xu Zhe thought for a moment and said, "I don't know either. Maybe people and their physiques cannot be generalized."

Shen Lan suddenly asked in a low voice: "Then do you think I am cowardly?"

Xu Zhe raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Why do you feel weak? Isn't it normal to be scared while riding a roller coaster?"

"Yeah, I'm just thinking about why the reaction was so big just now. I think if I rode the roller coaster alone, it wouldn't be like this... But with you next to me, I just want to control myself and don't scream. Don’t act so scared. But the more you try to control it, the harder it becomes.”

Having said this, Shen Lan bent down and rubbed his calves.She felt that if the track of this roller coaster were longer and she was so nervous all the time, her calves might cramp.

However, Xu Zhe's next words stunned her again.

He said: "It's the opposite of you. Maybe it's because you are next to me, so I'm not afraid at all."

What does this mean?Why does it feel like a confession?

Shen Lan was a little excited for a moment, but she pursed her lips and tried her best to appear calm.She was afraid that if this was not a confession, she would get the wrong idea, and if the rhythm of getting along was distorted, all her previous efforts would be wasted.

Because she cared too much, she didn't dare to be careless.

Shen Lan pretended to smile indifferently: "Is it because you are busy laughing at me that you don't have time to be afraid?"

Xu Zhe shook his head: "I told you, I'm not laughing at you, I just think it's a bit cute when you show that side occasionally."

Shen Lan: "Cute contrast, does it mean cute?"

Xu Zhe: "Yes, very cute."

He spoke so openly and openly, which made Shen Lan feel a little at a loss again.

The girl suddenly realized a problem.I took him to ride the roller coaster. I originally wanted to use the suspension bridge effect to make him panic and make him feel like he was in love.But now it seems... the suspension bridge effect seems to have really happened, but why did it all fall on me?
