186: My defenses have been breached.

Shen Qian didn't drive; instead, he took the bus. Without even thinking, he knew just how congested the traffic around the Amusement Park would be these two days, and his resentment toward Song Mengyuan grew a few more degrees.

"This woman!"

While Shen Qian harbored resentment, Song Mengyuan felt none at all. The girl simply stared at him intently, not even a hint of complaint about Shen Qian not driving.

As they approached Line 1, Shanghai's Subway revealed its true passenger volume. Originally, the two kept some distance, but as the crowd surged in, Song Mengyuan took a step forward to stand right in front of Shen Qian. Then, pushed by the jostling crowd, she naturally ended up pressed against him.

This position lasted for about ten minutes. Only after two stops, when some people got off, did the space become slightly more spacious. Yet, Song Mengyuan remained very close to Shen Qian.

Shen Qian recalled what Song Shulu had said:

"You have a very pleasant scent on you, one that makes people feel dizzy. Is it some perfume you're wearing?"

Later, he learned it was because his kidneys and other parts had been enhanced, turning him into a walking hormone. Girls, on a physiological level, couldn't resist the scent on him.

Although he himself didn't notice this scent very much.

Song Mengyuan remained silent, but her slightly flushed face said it all.

"As expected of someone like him. Even though he's so detestable, when you really get close, you still feel your heart flutter!"

The girl thought to herself, stealing another glance at Shen Qian. The boy was looking at the scenery outside the window, not noticing her gaze.

"Snap out of it, Song Mengyuan. This is just a substitute, meant to get back at that guy. You absolutely cannot fall for him again!"

After mentally preparing herself, the girl's mood calmed down a bit.

At the Amusement Park entrance, Song Mengyuan extended her hand.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Qian asked with a frown.

"Hold hands. What couple comes to an Amusement Park without holding hands?"

"I think you've misunderstood. We're not a couple; we're not even friends. So, there's no need."

"Shen Qian! Hold my hand, or I'll expose the video of those two hitting me."

When she said this, Song Mengyuan felt a bit guilty. She had previously tried to get the school's surveillance footage but ultimately failed. However, Shen Qian didn't know about her failure. As long as she used this as leverage, since he had agreed to come to the Amusement Park with her, it was possible he might compromise a little more.

"You mean you got the surveillance footage from the Sports Field?"

Shen Qian frowned, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant.

"So what if I did? What if you go back on your word later?" Song Mengyuan forced herself to maintain her composure, but she didn't realize that every move she made seemed laughable to Shen Qian.

Not to mention that the school would never just hand over surveillance footage to anyone, even if they could, he had made a phone call. This Song Mengyuan's family didn't have any strong connections or background. The Principal would have to be insane to give her the footage.

Since she wanted to bluff, Shen Qian would play along.

"After today, you must delete the footage!" Shen Qian's voice was cold, clearly showing he was indeed a bit angry.

"He believed it!"

The girl secretly rejoiced. As long as he believed it, she could manipulate him however she wanted later.

So, she extended her hand, slightly tilting her head up proudly, and said,

"Now, can you hold my hand?"

Shen Qian reluctantly extended his hand, and the girl tightly grasped it.

"If you want to hold hands, there are plenty of boys at school who'd want to hold yours. Those seniors..."

"Shut up!"

Song Mengyuan's originally smug expression instantly changed, replaced by annoyance. She knew many people at school were pursuing her, but for Shen Qian to bring it up now was clearly ruining her good mood.

"If you dare say one more word, I'll immediately release the surveillance video."

"Fine, I won't say anything."

Shen Qian tried to pull his hand back, but she held on very tightly. So, the two of them walked hand in hand with the crowd toward the Amusement Park gate.

"Give me the tickets."

The girl reached out her hand.

"What tickets?"

"You came to the Amusement Park. Aren't you buying tickets?"

"It's not like I wanted to come to the Amusement Park. Why should I buy tickets?"

"You!"

"You blackmailed me into coming to the Amusement Park, and now you want me to buy tickets too? Wouldn't that make me a total sucker?"

"You can afford a patek philippe, but you won't even pay for an Amusement Park ticket? It's not like I'm ugly!"

"So, are you buying or not? If you don't, we can just stroll around outside the Amusement Park."

Song Mengyuan gritted her teeth.

"Fine! I'll buy!"

"Have a great time." The Ticket-Selling Girl looked at Shen Qian and Song Mengyuan—a handsome boy and a beautiful girl—a pair that always evokes a sense of inner beauty in people.

"Miss, you're so pretty. Can I get your contact info?"

As soon as Shen Qian asked this, both the girl at the ticket counter and Song Mengyuan were stunned. The atmosphere instantly became extremely awkward. Song Mengyuan quickly took the tickets and pulled Shen Qian aside.

"What are you doing?!"

"As you can see, hitting on her and asking for her WeChat."

"Don't you have a Girlfriend?"

"So what? Having a Girlfriend doesn't mean I can't make new friends.

My Girlfriend doesn't restrict my freedom to make friends. What right do you have to control me?"

"You! Today, you're not allowed to add anyone else on WeChat!"

"Why not?"

"Because if you dare add one, I'll release the video!"

Shen Qian chuckled lightly.

"Don't you think you're acting like that now?"

"Like what?"

"Like the tattletale in elementary school—'If you do this or that, I'll tell the teacher~'"

"I don't care what you say. You're not allowed to add anyone, and that's final!"

"Song Mengyuan, don't go too far. Using this as leverage for everything is just despicable, don't you think?"

"I don't care. Today, if you're going to be my Boyfriend, you have to do what a Boyfriend should do. Be good to me, be loyal, don't look at other women..."

"Stop right there. Let me emphasize again: I'm just accompanying you to the Amusement Park. When did I become your Boyfriend?"

"Just for one day. Can't you be my Boyfriend for just one day? Others would love to..."

Shen Qian interrupted again, "Others wanting to is their business. I don't care for it."

As soon as the words "I don't care for it" came out, Song Mengyuan's eyes instantly reddened. Shen Qian knew these words must have hit hard, but he wouldn't pity her just because she cried. After all, she brought this upon herself.

"Actually, tomorrow is my birthday. I just wanted to go to the Amusement Park with someone I like on my birthday.

It's just such a small wish. Can't you fulfill it for me?

If you really hate me that much, then just leave. I won't blackmail you anymore."
