After repeatedly ensuring that her safety harness was securely fastened, Qiaokeli felt quite relaxed.
She had been observing for several days,
This giant swing didn't seem like a big deal from below; it was just a huge rotating swing!
Casually humming a nursery rhyme, it would be over in no time.
"Starting today, I'm going to the bathroom by myself~~ Mom and Dad, don't underestimate me!" Qiaokeli cheerfully swung her little legs, humming the nursery rhyme that had been stuck in her head recently.
As she sang,
The boy next to her seemed to be having a hard time. He nervously looked at the sky, then at the ground, gripping the machine's armrest tightly. Taking two deep breaths, he finally couldn't help but speak:
"Miss, could you please stop singing? You're making me need to go to the bathroom."
"Sorry, sorry." Qiaokeli laughed awkwardly and stopped singing. "Don't be nervous. I read the guide, just take deep breaths. If you're scared, just scream..."
The boy nodded, his face gradually turning pale, his eyes filled with regret.
"I shouldn't have tried to be brave... What was the point!"
"These bastards, too scared to ride themselves, made me go first...!! Beasts!!!"
This person was Lin Su Yang.
Recently, as the end of the year approached, there were fewer people coming to the hotel for holidays and presentations. With the previous manga promotion work already completed,
Lin Su Yang gave the publicity department a day off, and a group of them went to Dream Sea Amusement Park to have some fun, planning to drink at the Little Fortune God Beer Tent afterward.
The Big Pendulum of Nanjing, one of the three major rides at Dream Sea Amusement Park alongside the "Hand of Wind" and the "Roller Coaster," had always been something everyone wanted to try but lacked the courage to.
So they pushed Lin Su Yang to go first and take the lead for the publicity department!
The machine started slowly, and Qiaokeli excitedly hugged the safety bar, feeling her body sway back and forth with the machine.
What is this~ just like swinging on a swing!
But it's so much fun!!
Just as this thought crossed her mind, the Big Pendulum started swinging higher and faster,
The dizziness and weightlessness came in waves,
Before she knew it, she was upside down, her butt hanging in the air, completely relying on the safety harness and the restraints to keep her in her seat.
Then, Qiaokeli was completely bewildered as the pendulum did a 360-degree spin and threw her downward!
Her two pigtails spun perfectly in the air, whipping around twice and smacking Lin Su Yang's face solidly!
"Damn... who the hell hit me... I want to get off!"
Lin Su Yang's terrified and miserable scream echoed in Qiaokeli's ears.
Qiaokeli's heart was about to leap out of her throat, her face pale. She wanted to scream to relieve the pressure but was too scared to make a sound.
She wanted to cry but couldn't shed any tears. In despair, all she could hear was the mocking wind, the surrounding screams, and Lin Su Yang's curses.
Who said the soul moves faster than the body?
Who said that!
Come try the Big Pendulum yourself!!
Your body will leave your soul eighteen streets behind!!
As the pendulum swung back and forth, Qiaokeli felt she was no longer human but a small part of the machine, completely at its mercy.
After what seemed like an eternity, the pendulum's swings and speed gradually decreased.
Seeing the red poles nearby, Qiaokeli kept having the illusion that they would crash into them and everyone would be doomed.
"Dear visitors, our ride has ended. Our staff will now help you unlock the safety devices. Please remain seated and do not move."
"These pigtails... hit my face so hard it stings."
Lin Su Yang's voice was hoarse, and he lay limp on the seat, looking like he had just survived a disaster.
If you looked closely, you could see a few red marks on his face from Qiaokeli's pigtails.
Turning his head to look at Qiaokeli,
Lin Su Yang couldn't help but admire her: "Impressive, not a single scream the whole time."
Unlocking the safety harness, Lin Su Yang stood up with shaky legs,
Determined to make sure the other publicity department bastards would taste the Big Pendulum's terror too!
"Hey? Why isn't she leaving?"
Lin Su Yang glanced at Qiaokeli, who was sitting still next to him, and couldn't help but reach out to nudge her.
"Is it over?" Qiaokeli turned back dazedly, her eyes empty.
"It's over. If you don't get off, they'll think you want to ride again, and you'll have to go again." Lin Su Yang joked.
But as soon as he said that, Qiaokeli shuddered, her eyes turned red, and she burst into tears:
"I don't want to play anymore!!!"
...
"What's going on? What did you do to her on the Big Pendulum? How did you make her cry?"
In the amusement park's rest area,
Qiaokeli sat on a bench, holding a bottle of mineral water, her stomach churning, feeling nothing but nausea.
Zhao An, Xing Feilong, An Bingfeng, and Xiao Liu gathered together, looking at the red marks on Lin Su Yang's face, then at Qiaokeli's two pigtails, with puzzled expressions.
"How would I know!" Lin Su Yang was annoyed by the questioning. "She went up smiling and came down crying, I'm confused too."
"Then why did she cry? Why did she cry just with you?" Zhao An pressed cunningly.
"Because I had too much fun. My dream was to ride the Big Pendulum, and my dream came true, so I cried with joy." Qiaokeli spoke up.
She didn't want anyone to know she was scared to tears.
Even pigtails need dignity!
"Crying from having too much fun??" The others were skeptical.
Qiaokeli nodded firmly.
"I told you the Big Pendulum is fun, but you didn't believe me." Lin Su Yang seized the opportunity.
He had been thinking about how to trick these bastards into riding it, and now the chance had come!
"If you say it's fun, it's actually not that exciting. Just a bit tense at the beginning, then you relax, it swings really slowly, and there's not much sensation."
Lin Su Yang sat on the bench nonchalantly, looking indifferent. "It looks like a Big Pendulum, but it's basically like a hairdryer."
"There's only a slight feeling of weightlessness when it dives from the highest point, but it's not that intense... I thought it would be more thrilling."
The hotel staff looked at their director half-believingly.
Although they were skeptical, Lin Su Yang's expression was so calm, as if he had just been on a swing.
"Then I'll go play too!"
"Count me in!"
"Let's go together, I want to feel it too."
...
Watching the group rush to the ticket booth, Qiaokeli was dumbfounded.
She stared blankly at Lin Su Yang, thinking... truly trick as many as possible!
