136: You said you would marry me!
Jiang Feng forced an extremely awkward smile, rubbing his hands unconsciously as he said, "Mm-hmm, I know, thank you for your concern, Sister Qingning. I remember everything you said. Next time I encounter such a mess, I'll try to run as far as possible. You can rest assured..."
At this moment, a large number of bubbles continuously emerged from the bathtub. These strings of bubbles, like mischievous little elves, joyfully rose from the bottom of the water, breaking the calmness of the surface.
Meanwhile, Zheng Yiyun's movements underwater were becoming larger and larger, and the force in her hands was also increasing. It was clear she couldn't hold on much longer...
Jiang Feng could distinctly feel that force, and his heart tightened, secretly thinking, 'This isn't good.'
He quickly lifted his head, forcing a slightly urgent smile, and said to Zhang Qingning, "Sister Qingning, you should go back first... I'll just take a quick shower... I promise not to touch water tomorrow... With you standing here, I feel completely uncomfortable and can't relax and bathe..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingning pouted slightly, put her hands on her hips, and playfully chided, "You little stinker, Jiang Feng... Have you become estranged from your sister now that you've grown up? There's nothing about you I haven't seen before... Really, then hurry up and wash. Remember to call me if anything happens!"
Zhang Qingning decided that starting today, she would sleep with Jiang Feng every day to rekindle their bond!
With that, she reluctantly picked up her things and left, looking back with every step, as if she couldn't bear to leave her precious treasure.
When Jiang Feng saw Zhang Qingning finally leave, he felt as if all his strength had been drained, like he had returned from a trip to the gates of hell. He slumped into the bathtub, letting out a long sigh of relief...
He finally managed to send Sister Qingning away. This was truly a thrilling "battle"...
If it had been any later, Zheng Yiyun would have been in real danger underwater, and he wouldn't have known how to resolve the situation.
This was even more stimulating than when he hid under the bed for ten hours in his previous life. Although those ten hours were difficult, they weren't as nerve-wracking as now...
Indeed, when a person has something to care about, they can't be so calm.
If he wasn't thinking of keeping them all and didn't want to hurt them, Jiang Feng wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths.
But before he could fully relax, Zhang Qingning, who had just reached the door, suddenly seemed to remember something and spun around sharply:
"That's right!"
When Jiang Feng heard that, he felt his scalp tingle instantly, and his body involuntarily stiffened, as if he had been put under a spell, unable to move.
His heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought, 'Oh no, this isn't good.'
"Could something else go wrong...? My poor heart can't take this much stress anymore. If this continues, I'll surely have a heart attack..."
At this moment, Zheng Yiyun in the bathtub was almost out of breath, and the water in the bathtub began to shake violently, like a small lake stirred by a strong wind.
Her hands underwater were also flailing wildly, and the force in her hands was increasing...
Jiang Feng stammered, "Ah? Sister Qingning... What... what else do you need?"
His voice even carried a slight tremor, clearly startled by the sudden situation.
Zhang Qingning tilted her head, her pretty face adorable, with a hint of anticipation, like a child expecting a gift:
"Jiang Feng... are you free tomorrow?"
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Feng frowned, quickly calculating his schedule for tomorrow.
He had to go negotiate with Ugly Group company tomorrow to buy domain names, and this matter was crucial to his money-making plan...
Also, a top-notch secretary was reporting for duty, so he probably wouldn't have much time!
Zhang Qingning excitedly said, "I want to go to the amusement park with you! When we were little, you even said you'd take me to the amusement park when we grew up! You've forgotten... Back then, you said the amusement park was the happiest place in the world, and you definitely had to take me!"
Jiang Feng scratched his head, a hint of an awkward smile on his face, thinking to himself:
How can you take what was said as a child seriously...? It's been so many years, but seeing Zhang Qingning so excited, it's not good to refuse directly...
Otherwise, Zhang Qingning would be so sad!
So, he could only pretend to think for a moment, and said with some difficulty, "I haven't forgotten. As for tomorrow... let me think... Sister Qingning, I might have something to deal with tomorrow, so it might not be convenient to go out and play..."
When Zhang Qingning heard Jiang Feng say this, the smile on her face instantly dimmed, like a flower ravaged by a storm. Her hands also dropped powerlessly, and she said aggrievedly, "Ah? Then when will you be free? Jiang Feng... are you perhaps not wanting to go with me?"
She felt incredibly sad: Does Jiang Feng not like me anymore? Is that why he doesn't want to go to the amusement park with me...?
You clearly said you'd marry me before!
Thinking of this, Zhang Qingning felt extremely wronged, tears welling up in her eyes, as if she was about to cry any second.
Jiang Feng saw Zhang Qingning's aggrieved expression and felt heartbroken. He quickly said, "Sister Qingning, don't misunderstand. How could I not want to go with you? I really do have something tomorrow... How about this, the day after tomorrow? How about I go to Chimelong with you the day after tomorrow? Chimelong is so much fun, with all sorts of amusement rides. I guarantee you'll have a great time!"
Around 2010, Chimelong Paradise in Yangcheng was already one of the few top comprehensive tourist attractions in South China.
It also boasted many world-class amusement rides such as the Ten-Ring Roller Coaster and the Vertical Roller Coaster. That year, it received over 10 million visitors, with a constant stream of tourists. The scene, just thinking about it, was spectacular.
When Zhang Qingning heard Jiang Feng say this, her sparkling big eyes lit up again.
A brilliant smile appeared on her pretty face, a smile as dazzling as sunlight, and her voice was filled with joy:
"Okay! Hehe, then I'll go first, Jiang Feng. Hurry up and finish your shower, don't catch a cold!"
Zhang Qingning didn't mind Jiang Feng postponing the time. Instead, she felt that she could finally go play with Jiang Feng!
She was as happy as a child who had received her beloved toy.
She thought to herself gleefully: Jiang Feng still remembers our childhood promise. It seems he still cares about me. I knew it, he wouldn't forget me!
Jiang Feng might have forgotten his past promise, but she still remembered it firmly...
Jiang Feng once said he would marry her when he grew up!
That was her most beautiful memory, like a brilliant star illuminating her heart.
And Zhang Qingning also remembered what her younger self once said:
"When I grow up, I'll definitely earn lots and lots of money. I'll hide it all and not tell Yun-Ayi and my sister. All that money is for you! By then, we'll definitely be super happy!"
As she thought about it, a happy smile appeared on her face, like a blooming flower. That smile seemed to dispel all gloom.
