Fake Cannon Fodder A Becomes a Sensation in Romance Variety Shows - Chapter 73

The next morning, all four groups of guests set off fully prepared.

The director handed each guest a custom-made baseball cap from the production team and bid them farewell with emotion: “Everyone, make sure to enjoy the trip and stay safe!”

The production team arranged transportation to take the guests to their designated locations on the map.

Wen Huiyun and Ye Zhuoyan went to the amusement park.

Gu Rufeng and Mi Tao arrived at the ice-skating rink.

Ke Yuxin and Liang Yuan were at the indoor water park.

Cheng Xiaoming and Jiang Yining were taken to the trampoline park.

On a weekday, the amusement park wasn’t crowded.

Most visitors were parents with young children.

Ye Zhuoyan studied the map: “There are several roller coasters which one is marked with the heart?”

Wen Huiyun silently prayed: Please don’t let it be the massive Sun God ride.

Ye Zhuoyan: “Judging by the location, it looks like the Sun God.”

Oh no.

Ye Zhuoyan compared the heart-marked map with the amusement park’s layout, deduced the route, and took the lead.

Wen Huiyun followed her.

Normally, Ye Zhuoyan would have linked arms with her.

But not today.

Wen Huiyun reached out to hold her hand.

Ye Zhuoyan didn’t return the gesture.

Wen Huiyun stole a glance at her was it just her imagination, or did Zhuoyan seem a bit aloof today?

Along the way, there were colorful food kiosks.

“Zhuoyan, would you like some cotton candy?”

Wen Huiyun asked.

Surely mentioning sweets would cheer her up.

Ye Zhuoyan looked listless: “Did you forget I’m cutting back on sugar?”

Wen Huiyun said, “I’ll buy one, and you can just have a little taste.”

Ye Zhuoyan didn’t respond and walked past the cotton candy stand without even looking.

Wen Huiyun began to panic.

Ye Zhuoyan’s attitude definitely meant something was wrong.

Yesterday had been fine, they happily released lanterns together.

Last night had also been fine Zhuoyan praised her osmanthus milk tea and even shared it with her, drinking from the same cup. Mi Tao had even commented on how sweet they were together.

This morning before setting off, Zhuoyan had tenderly straightened her shirt collar and flipped out the hood of her down jacket.

Wen Huiyun’s expression darkened.

It seemed something had upset Zhuoyan after they entered the park:

1. 1. Zhuoyan is upset about something else.

 

1. 1. Zhuoyan is upset with me.

Probably A?

She needed to accompany Zhuoyan well and help her shake off the unhappiness.

Cheering up her wife was a hallmark of a good spouse.

The first thing Wen Huiyun needed to do was conquer her fear of roller coasters.

With the sparse crowd, they didn’t have to wait long before reaching the Sun God ride.

The staff, noticing their production team caps, greeted them warmly and escorted them to the front row of the coaster.

Wen Huiyun shivered. Why did it have to be the front row? QwQ

And her wife wasn’t scared at all!

An alpha being terrified while the omega remained unfazed was downright embarrassing.

If she ended up dizzy and nauseous after the ride, how was she supposed to cheer up her wife?

The staff gently secured their safety harnesses and reminded them, “After the ride, be sure to check behind you.”

Wen Huiyun wanted to turn and look at the seats behind them, but the staff gave the thumbs-up to the control room. The bell dinged, and the coaster clacked its way up the track. Wen Huiyun quickly turned back, burying her head and shutting her eyes.

A fierce wind rushed at them, making the flesh on her face tremble.

Along with it came the sensation of weightlessness and the constant flipping between head and feet.

After two massive loops, Wen Huiyun felt like her stomach acid was about to be flung out.

Finally, it was over.

Wen Huiyun forced herself to step off the ride.

Ye Zhuoyan was a bit slower, as if she had turned around to tear something off the back of the seat before walking toward her.

A wave of nausea surged in her stomach, and Wen Huiyun’s vision darkened. Her body swayed unsteadily, only to be quickly caught by a pair of soft hands.

“Cough! Cough,Zhuoyan.”

Wen Huiyun’s heart raced wildly, her mind buzzing as if her soul were about to leave her body.

At this point, pride was the last thing on her mind. She just wanted to be comfortable, so she slumped weakly into Ye Zhuoyan’s embrace.

The live chat erupted with laughter:

[Look, a scared little alpha afraid of roller coasters.]

[Wen Huiyun used to love pretending to be pitiful to tease omegas is she doing it again this time?]

[Probably not this time. Look at her face, drained like she’s been sucked dry by a demon. Try faking that!]

[This is too exaggerated. Huiyun’s stamina is weak, how will Ye Goddess ever be happy in the future?]

[How do you know Ye Goddess’ stamina is weak?]

[Damn, you’re talking about some next-level positions.]

[Elaborate!]

She felt extremely dizzy.

With Ye Zhuoyan’s support, Wen Huiyun sat down on a bench by the roadside. Ye Zhuoyan twisted open a bottle of electrolyte water for her.

Gently patting her back, Ye Zhuoyan said softly, “Drink slowly.”

Wen Huiyun’s heart melted. “Yanyan, you’re so good to me QuQ.”

Ye Zhuoyan: “Mm. Am I the best omega to you?”

Wen Huiyun: 0.0?

Why did that feel a little weird?

Wen Huiyun: “Of course! You’re the best omega to me.”

Ye Zhuoyan didn’t respond, just smiled faintly and brushed a strand of hair behind Wen Huiyun’s ear but her eyes were devoid of emotion.

In fact, Ye Zhuoyan wasn’t even looking at Wen Huiyun. Her gaze was fixed on a handsome cosplayer across the way, passionately livestreaming into his phone.

“? ” =.=||

Wen Huiyun wrapped her arms around Ye Zhuoyan’s waist and turned her around. “Yanyan, look at me. Come on.”

Ye Zhuoyan’s waist was slender and soft, her smooth hair carrying the faint, soothing scent of essential oils.

Unconsciously, Wen Huiyun wanted to bury her nose in it.

But she missed.

Ye Zhuoyan lifted her chin. Just as Wen Huiyun raised her head, Ye Zhuoyan turned away and placed something in her hand. “I took this from the roller coaster seat.”

Huh? A pink paper heart folded from glitter paper.

Written on it were the words:

I am a clue, unfold me. (Mwah!)

Wen Huiyun carefully unfolded the heart along its creases, flattening it to reveal a simple sketch of a Ferris wheel inside.

“The next location is the Ferris wheel.”

Ye Zhuoyan started walking. “Let’s go.”

Wen Huiyun hurried after her. “Yanyan, wait for me.”

How to put it?

Today, Ye Zhuoyan gave Wen Huiyun the same strange, gentle vibe she had when Ke Yuxin first arrived on the show.

Drawing from her limited romantic experience, Wen Huiyun came to a conclusion Ye Zhuoyan was jealous.

But what exactly she was jealous about, Wen Huiyun had no idea TAT

Ah, she could ask once they were inside the Ferris wheel cabin.

The production crew wouldn’t follow them in there.

It seemed like all amusement park Ferris wheels were built next to lakes.

The water was a murky green, dotted with yellow-beaked duck boats floating on the surface.

After waiting for a while, a staff member pulled the Ferris wheel cabin into place and opened the door with a small wrench.

“All set, please step inside.”

The staff member glanced at the show’s logo on their hats and emphasized, “Please check under the seat.”

They climbed in, and the door was locked from the outside.

The circular cabin swayed slightly.

Slowly ascending, it creaked and groaned.

Ye Zhuoyan sat quietly, her eyes downcast as she gazed at the lake below.

Wen Huiyun decided to take the initiative.

She sat closer to the front, and since the cabin was already small, this brought her even nearer to Ye Zhuoyan.

Their knees touched.

“Yanyan, I know I must have done something wrong. Can you tell me what it is?”

Wen Huiyun earnestly sought her answer.

Ye Zhuoyan crossed her arms, pressed her lips together, and avoided eye contact.

Wen Huiyun recognized this as body language signaling distrust, defensiveness, and avoidance.

She grew anxious, what could have happened in just half a day?

What had caused Ye Zhuoyan’s mood to plummet so suddenly and made her so guarded?

“Yanyan,” Wen Huiyun called her again.

“Friction and misunderstandings are bound to happen between two people, but they can always be resolved through communication.”

“Can you tell me what happened?”

“Only if you tell me where I went wrong can I make it right.”

Wen Huiyun was desperate, but the more urgent she felt, the more she had to restrain herself. Otherwise, she might push Ye Zhuoyan further away, worsening her mood or even making her refuse to communicate altogether.

She had to guide her gently and patiently.

The Ferris wheel cabin slowly ascended to its highest point.

In just a few seconds, it would reach the peak.

Ye Zhuoyan hesitated, her eyes flickering as if locked in an internal struggle.

She had been waiting for Wen Huiyun to be honest, but Wen Huiyun never was. The matter of the system must be her most important secret.

Wen Huiyun had already said Jiang Yining was the only one she could confide in would she really tell anyone else?

Even if she did, it would probably just be another lie.

Ye Zhuoyan parted her lips slightly: “What if you’re lying to me?”

Wen Huiyun, struck by inspiration, gently took Ye Zhuoyan’s hands: “Yanyan, you know what? The Ferris wheel doesn’t lie.”

Ye Zhuoyan tilted her head: “That sounds like something you’d say to trick a child.”

Wen Huiyun insisted: “It’s true.”

The Ferris wheel reached its zenith.

For two brief seconds, they hung suspended in the air.

Two hearts inside the cabin were also suspended in anticipation.

Wen Huiyun cradled Ye Zhuoyan’s delicate hands, her gaze tender as she waited quietly.

Thump. Thump. Their hearts pounded loudly.

Ye Zhuoyan parted her lips several times, and Wen Huiyun’s breath hitched as she watched intently.

The light in Ye Zhuoyan’s eyes wavered. Then, she took a deep breath and spoke softly, her voice barely audible:

“Wen Huiyun, I want to know!”

Ding-ding-ding-ding!!!!!

“Please fasten your seatbelts, everyone! Our giant swing is about to start!”

From the lakeside, the giant swing erupted with the wild screams of thrill-seekers:

“Woo-hoo!!”

“Whoa!”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Ye Zhuoyan’s faint voice was drowned out.

Wen Huiyun strained to listen, but Ye Zhuoyan fell silent. The last two words seemed to be: “What does it mean?”

“What does it mean?” Wen Huiyun repeated.

Ye Zhuoyan’s eyes burned, her cheeks flushed, and she nodded.

Wen Huiyun awkwardly replied: “Yanyan, could you say it again? I didn’t hear you clearly just now.”

Ye Zhuoyan’s eyes glistened with unshed tears as she turned away. “Forget it. I won’t say it.”

“Yanyan, the giant swing was too loud just now, I really, truly didn’t hear you. Please tell me again, just once.”

Ye Zhuoyan wiped the corner of her eye and said calmly, “It’s fine. I’ll tell you too, I’m really, truly fine.”

“…”

Now Wen Huiyun was truly at her wit’s end.

What if Ye Zhuoyan refused to speak? She couldn’t guess, and they couldn’t stay stuck like this forever.

The Ferris wheel ride came to an end.

Wen Huiyun plucked the second heart from beneath the seat.

Inside was a drawing of a haunted house.

Ye Zhuoyan took out the map to find the route and walked in silence.

Later, they went on bumper cars, high-altitude swings and played many other attractions.

Ye Zhuoyan remained quiet the whole time, while Wen Huiyun tried everything to cheer her up, with little success.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t lift Ye Zhuoyan’s spirits. It was frustrating.

Her anxious mood slowly turned into helpless resignation.

This was Wen Huiyun’s first time being in a relationship, and she felt just as lost.

She really wanted to say to Ye Zhuoyan, Baby, can’t you just be honest and say what’s on your mind?

But she held back. She couldn’t bear to be even the slightest bit harsh with Ye Zhuoyan not even raising her voice a little.

As dusk fell, they followed the heart-shaped signs to the carousel.

Dreamy pink lights flickered.

Pixel-style cartoon music played in the air.

The staff opened the gate, letting visitors in.

There were many children.

Wen Huiyun helped Ye Zhuoyan onto a pink-maned unicorn, then sat on a small horse beside her.

The bell rang, and the carousel began to dance, rising and falling gently, surrounded by the joyful laughter of children.

Ye Zhuoyan hugged the unicorn’s neck, biting her lip lightly.

“Yanyan, smile for me.”

Wen Huiyun held up her phone to take a picture.

Ye Zhuoyan suddenly looked up just as the flash went off.

Her eyes met the light, then landed on Wen Huiyun, who was smiling at her from the small horse. Suddenly, her eyes reddened.

The carousel gradually slowed to a stop.

A single glistening tear escaped the corner of Ye Zhuoyan’s eye.

Panicked, Wen Huiyun jumped off before the ride fully stopped and helped Ye Zhuoyan down from the unicorn.

The crowd pushed them toward the exit.

Ye Zhuoyan’s tears grew heavier, falling uncontrollably.

She was about to burst.

Behind the control booth, under a secluded tree.

Wen Huiyun gently wiped away Ye Zhuoyan’s burning tears.

Softly, she whispered, “It’s okay. If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to. I won’t ask again.”

She pointed to a small cart selling cotton candy ice cream under the neon lights:

“Let’s get some ice cream, okay?”

“Why?”

Ye Zhuoyan wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand, her voice hoarse and trembling. “Then why could you tell Jiang Yining?”

Wen Huiyun’s eyes reflected Ye Zhuoyan’s face.

Her defiant brows.

Her earnest gaze.

Her pouting cherry lips, trembling with frustration.

Ye Zhuoyan’s lips parted as she shouted from the depths of her chest:

“Why could you tell her but not me?!”

Wen Huiyun’s eyes darkened. She pulled her close and kissed her.
