Chapter 1078: I can’t stop loving you

After getting off the pirate ship, Helan Minyue's face still had a blush on it. Lin Lang pointed to the bumper car amusement area with flashing colorful lights not far away.

"My dear, let's play this next. It's guaranteed to be easier than the pirate ship, and we can still have some fun with it."

Helan Minyue looked in the direction and saw dozens of bumper cars going back and forth in the fence, crashing into each other from time to time. The people in the cars were laughing and screaming, and it was very lively.

She followed Lin Lang to a pink and white bumper car, and when Lin Lang helped her sit in, she carefully held the edge of the car.

"My dear, sit tight." Lin Lang fastened Helan Minyue's seat belt and patted her knee. "This operation is very simple, just like the racing in the video game arcade. Remember?"

Helan Minyue smiled sweetly and playfully, "Your Majesty, I will remember this."

Lin Lang slapped the steering wheel and said, "My dear, the fun of this thing is all in the collision. Don't let the chaotic scene make you cry later."

Helan Minyue gripped the steering wheel, her eyes sparkling: "No way! It sounds like fun!"

Lin Lang smiled and got into a blue bumper car next to him. As soon as he fastened his seat belt, the game began.

Helan Minyue stepped on the accelerator tentatively, but the bumper car crashed into the guardrail next to it with a "bang". She screamed "Ah" and tried to turn the direction in a panic, but the car was like a disobedient naughty ghost, spinning crookedly.

Lin Lang laughed as he watched, and slowly drove his bumper car over to her, gently "bumping" her car.

Helan Minyue's bumper car was shaken by the collision. She turned around and glared at Lin Lang, but her eyes were full of smiles. She stepped on the accelerator and crashed into Lin Lang's car.

As a result, Helan Minyue didn't turn the steering correctly and crashed into another stranger's car, which made Helan Minyue blush.

"Your Majesty! It doesn't listen to me!" Helan Minyue was angry and amused, pouting.

"Take your time, you'll learn it after a few tries." Lin Lang deliberately slowed down and waited for Helan Minyue, watching her clumsily adjust the direction, and finally rushing towards him in a crooked manner.

This time they didn't run off the track, but collided solidly. Both of them were shaken, but burst into laughter at the same time.

After several rounds of collisions, Helan Minyue gradually found the trick and became bolder.

She steered the bumper car flexibly, spinning in circles, and even deliberately went around behind Lin Lang, ramming into him, then turning the car around and running away with a smile.

Lin Lang pretended that he couldn't catch up, making Helan Minyue laugh triumphantly.

Colorful lights flickered on their faces, and the sound of bumper cars, cheerful background music and Helan Minyue's clear laughter mixed together, making the place particularly lively.

Occasionally, when the two cars got closer, Lin Lang would take the opportunity to reach out and quickly touch the back of her hand, causing her cheeks to burn, but she couldn't help but speed up and hit back in "revenge."

When the game-ending bell rang, Helan Minyue was still patting the steering wheel with unsatisfied eyes: "This is so much fun! Even more interesting than the pirate ship just now!"

Lin Lang walked over to unbuckle her seat belt. When he helped Helan Minyue down, she was still excitedly saying, "When I bumped into you just now, did Your Majesty let me go on purpose?"

Lin Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "No, it's because my beloved concubine is very smart and can learn it quickly. I didn't let you go."

Helan Minyue immediately grabbed Lin Lang's hand and said with a sweet smile, "Your Majesty, you are just giving in to me. It is my blessing to be favored by Your Majesty."

"Silly girl, you are my favorite concubine, and I will love you all my life!" Lin Lang kissed Helan Minyue on the pretty face.

Helan Minyue said shyly, "I'm so embarrassed to be seen by His Majesty kissing me in public!"

"Haha..." Lin Lang laughed heartily, holding Helan Minyue's hand and leaving the bumper car amusement area.

"Your Majesty, what are we going to do next?" Helan Minyue asked with anticipation.

Lin Lang turned his head and looked at her, with a cunning glint in his eyes: "Let's go ride the roller coaster. I guarantee it will be an unforgettable experience for you." As he said that, he pulled her towards the roller coaster.

Helan Minyue's face was filled with curiosity. "Roller coaster? It sounds like a rare thing. Is it more fun than bumper cars?"

Lin Lang smiled and replied, "It's much more exciting than bumper cars!"

When we arrived at the roller coaster entrance, the staff greeted us with a smile: "Please sit down and buckle the pressure bar. It's safe only when it is fastened."

Lin Lang first helped Helan Minyue press the pressure bar to her chest and fasten it, then checked it twice before fastening his own.

Helan Minyue touched the cold lever and asked softly, "This thing... won't fall off, right?"

Lin Lang held her hand and deliberately lowered his voice: "Don't worry, my dear, if you fall, I will be your scapegoat."

As soon as he finished speaking, the roller coaster started slowly and climbed to the highest point like a docile dragon.

Helan Minyue was still looking around, muttering to herself, "The roller coaster isn't that fast." Before she could finish her words, the car suddenly dived down!

"Ah——!" Helan Minyue's scream instantly pierced the air. She seemed to be pressed down on the seat, and her hair was messed up by the wind.

She clenched Lin Lang's hand tightly, her knuckles turned white, and her eyes were closed tightly, but she still couldn't help but want to open her eyes to take a peek - the roller coaster was rapidly climbing along the track, and then suddenly turned over, as if the sky and the earth were turned upside down before her eyes.

Lin Lang's hand was tightly grasped by Helan Minyue, but he deliberately laughed loudly: "How is it? Exciting!"

"What the hell is this exciting! Your Majesty, I'm so scared!"

Helan Minyue's scream was mixed with the sound of the wind, but it was filled with a bit of excitement of throwing away the whole thing.

When the roller coaster reached its highest point again, she closed her eyes and instinctively shouted to the sky in the distance: "Mom, save me, it's so scary!"

The roller coaster went up and down, and the feeling of weightlessness came wave after wave. Helan Minyue's screams gradually turned into shouts of joy.

Lin Lang turned his head to look at Helan Minyue's flushed face, with beads of sweat sliding down her cheeks. He thought she was both cute and funny.

When the roller coaster slowly stopped, Helan Minyue was still gasping for breath, her legs too weak to stand up. She grabbed Lin Lang's arm and shed tears: "Your Majesty, I was really scared to death just now, wuwu..."

Lin Lang helped her unfasten the safety lever, and then helped Helan Minyue get off the roller coaster. He held her in his arms and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, my dear. I didn't know you were so timid. Is it okay if I don't take you to play such an exciting game next time?"

After hearing this, Helan Minyue hurriedly wiped away her tears and said stubbornly, "Humph... Who said I'm a coward? I'm not afraid!"

Lin Lang looked at her flushed face, his palms still wet with sweat from her gripping, and suddenly felt that Helan Minyue's stubbornness was cute, so he decided to tease her.

Lin Lang took Helan Minyue to the bungee jumping machine, looked up at the towering steel frame, and deliberately raised his voice: "Look, my beloved, this thing is much more exciting than a roller coaster. Do you dare to challenge it?"

Helan Minyue looked in the direction he pointed, and saw the bungee jumping machine "whoosh" to the top and then suddenly fell down. The people on it screamed like a cat with its tail stepped on. She was so scared that she quickly shrank behind Lin Lang, grabbing the corner of his clothes and shaking herself.

"Your Majesty! This is not a joke, this is clearly life-threatening! I won't play!"

Seeing her eyes red with fear, Lin Lang suppressed his laughter and deliberately put on a stern face: "But you just said you weren't afraid, so you're giving in now?"

"I'm not afraid of roller coasters!"

Helan Minyue poked her head out from behind Lin Lang, looked at the dangerous way to play the bungee jumping machine, and said weakly: "Your Majesty, I don't play this anyway. Whoever wants to sit on it can sit on it!"

Lin Lang was amused by Helan Minyue and laughed heartily. He pinched her pretty face lovingly and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's not play this game anymore."

As he was speaking, Helan Minyue suddenly pointed at the glittering Ferris wheel in the distance, her eyes suddenly lighting up: "Your Majesty! What is that huge wheel? It's turning slowly, and it looks like there are lots of little lanterns hanging on it!"

"That's the Ferris wheel." Lin Lang led Helan Minyue over there. "Go up and take a look. I guarantee it's not scary."

Soon, Helan Minyue and Lin Lang got on the Ferris wheel with anticipation.

When the Ferris wheel cabin slowly rose to mid-air, Helan Minyue leaned on the glass and looked down, overlooking the dazzling night view of Hai City, and was stunned by the shock.

The night sky of the city of Haikou below looked like a handful of broken diamonds. The whole city was ablaze with lights and flashing neon lights. Even the waves of the Huangpu River in the distance were shimmering with colorful lights.

The densely packed high-rise buildings look like building blocks, and the busy streets have turned into a flowing river of light.

Helan Minyue turned her head and looked at Lin Lang with sparkling eyes. "Your Majesty, is today the Lantern Festival in Shanghai? There are so many lanterns, it's ten times more lively than the Lantern Festival in Chang'an!"

Lin Lang looked out the window at the dazzling night scene and lowered his voice, "My dear, today is not the Lantern Festival in Shanghai. The nights here are like this every day, but beneath this bustling scene, there are many shadows of people hurrying along with their heads down."

He pointed to the scattered lights in the distant office buildings and said, "Look, my dear, those windows with lights still on are filled with people working like slaves, just like the scholars of ancient times who studied by lamplight at night, all for the sake of making life easier."

Helan Minyue nodded, not quite understanding, and put her face back against the glass, asking curiously: "Does Shanghai also have an imperial examination?"

Lin Lang smiled and replied, "Yes, in our country, the college entrance examination is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. In many provinces with a large number of college entrance examinations, the competition for admission to university is very fierce. There are countless students who want to take the civil service examination and pursue a career in government, but only a few can actually get on the shore and become officials."

"Your Majesty, what does involution mean?"

Lin Lang replied, "Involution is the phenomenon where, regardless of whether you like it or not, you are forced to compete for limited resources, resulting in a decrease in everyone's income. To put it bluntly, it's excessive competition, vicious competition, and ineffective competition, yet you have to compete."

After hearing this, Helan Minyue tilted her head playfully, blinked, and nodded in confusion.

The cabin was still rising slowly. Lin Lang put his arm around Helan Minyue's shoulders and said gently, "My dear, if you marry into the Kingdom of Shanghai, I will make you live in luxury. You will be by my side forever, worry-free and happy. Okay?"

Helan Minyue nestled in Lin Lang's arms, raised her head and met his smiling black eyes, and said with a sweet smile: "Good! It is a blessing for me to have the favor and love of Your Majesty."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will abide by the rules of the harem and keep your bed warm every night. Even if Your Majesty is bored, I can tell you some jokes to cheer you up."

Lin Lang smiled after hearing this, and looked at Helan Minyue with a bright and warm smile, full of genuine flattery and enthusiasm.

Lin Lang looked at the light reflected in Helan Minyue's eyes, listened to the soft and flattering words, and felt like his heart was gently hit by something.

He didn't say anything, but just leaned over and couldn't help but kiss Helan Minyue on the forehead with some uncontrollable affection.

Helan Minyue's face turned red all of a sudden, and the next second, her cherry lips were held in Lin Lang's mouth.

The kiss was very light at first, as if afraid of breaking some treasure, and then it gradually became heavier, carrying with it the fresh scent of his body, which made people tremble in their hearts.

Helan Minyue's head buzzed and her cheeks instantly became hot. She was so shy that she didn't know what to do, but Lin Lang held her neck and deepened the kiss.

The corners of Helan Minyue's eyes were red. She snuggled shyly in Lin Lang's arms, responding to his kiss awkwardly, feeling dizzy with happiness.

It was unknown how long it took before Lin Lang slowly let go of Helan Minyue.

Helan Minyue's breathing was still a little rapid. She lowered her eyes, too embarrassed to look at Lin Lang. She tugged at the corners of her clothes with both hands, looking pretty and shy.

Looking at her adorable appearance, Lin Lang couldn't help but give her another gentle kiss on the tip of her nose.

"My dear, you are so beautiful." Lin Lang said softly.

Helan Minyue raised her head shyly, her eyes flickering. She bit her lower lip and whispered softly, "Your Majesty, you are so handsome too!"

At this moment, the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, and the night view of the entire Longhai City was in sight.

The bright lights and moonlight are intertwined, like a dream.

Helan Minyue was attracted by the beautiful scenery and temporarily forgot her shyness. She pointed out the window excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, look, the night view of Shanghai is so dazzling. It's really beautiful!"

Lin Lang looked in the direction of her finger and said with a smile: "Yes, the night view of Shanghai is really beautiful, but in my eyes, my beloved concubine is more beautiful than this night view."

Helan Minyue's cheeks flushed again. She leaned in Lin Lang's arms, feeling his heartbeat, her heart filled with sweetness.

The Ferris wheel slowly descended, and their love across time and space quietly warmed up in this romantic atmosphere.
