Free Web NovelChapter 1659: Chapter 1639
Mo jumped up and dragged the person to the ground, tightly gripping his hand, his expression serious as he quickly explained.
However, he himself was still somewhat inexperienced, and fortunately their communication was relatively easy, allowing Yu Qian to understand somewhat, his eyes shining brightly.
"This is the future!" Yu Qian looked at everything around with a face full of brightness.
However, Luo Qianqian frowned, always feeling that this person might pose some danger to society; it would be better to resolve it soon.
"Shiqi, let’s take him over there and hand him over to Yan; this kind of thing is best left to him." Mo looked at Luo Qianqian without hesitation.
Luo Qianqian was silent for a moment before nodding; then they directly went home, handed the person over, explained the situation, and returned.
Mo looked at Luo Qianqian excitedly: "We can go there now; no burdens!"
"Where?" Luo Qianqian felt strange and quickly shook her head; it can’t be, Mo wouldn’t have handed this trouble to Yan just for the sake of play. It can’t be; it must be her overthinking!
"To the amusement park, where you said adults can also play!"
"So you handed Yu Qian over to Yan?"
"...He’s better at educating people; that’s precisely how he educated me."
"You’re really something..."
Though complaining, she was honest and bought the tickets to take him out, with just the two of them, not bringing An Hao.
"Ah, ah, ah..." On the roller coaster, two faces showed no emotion while they cooperated with the screaming joyful crowd, calling out half-heartedly.
On the pirate ship, one person folded his arms and the other crossed his legs.
On the drop tower ride, Mo calmly played with his phone: "So you played this when you were a kid?"
"Uh, how should I put it, kids can’t play it because they’re too young. This really is for adults to play..." Luo Qianqian felt the weightlessness but didn’t get any excitement out of it.
Why did she like it back then? She wasn’t quite sure now.
On the carousel, Luo Qianqian yawned, looking at the surrounding children, feeling maybe they should have brought An Hao after all...
On the Ferris wheel...
"Shall I take you somewhere higher?" Mo looked at Luo Qianqian, who was gazing fondly at the view below, and couldn’t help but ask.
The expression on her face seemed full of envy, although he didn’t understand whom exactly she was envying or what.
"See, the clouds float so freely. I heard long ago that at the top of the Ferris wheel you can touch the gate of happiness. Now it feels like it; the blue sky, white clouds, and the vast world below—it really gives a sense of satisfaction. Suddenly feeling very envious of the free clouds and birds, unrestrained..."
"Don’t be silly." Mo interrupted Luo Qianqian as at that moment the Ferris wheel passed its highest point and began descending.
"Such weak freedom, what’s the use of it? Anyone can slay it easily." Mo looked calmly outside the glass at a small bird, flicked his finger, and killed it.
The bird paused in the air and then plummeted rapidly!
"..." Luo Qianqian opened her mouth but had no words.
She understood, yet she still envied, envied those birds that could fly toward their ideal skies.
But she also knew, only by being strong enough, could one ignore rules.
So if she wants freedom, she must be strong enough, strong enough that even rules can’t restrain her.
"Mo, you’re such a straight-talker, can’t you let me dream a little?" Luo Qianqian got off the Ferris wheel, looking at the crowd gathering around, though she didn’t approach to see, she knew exactly what was there.
It must be... that bird that suddenly fell from the sky.
"Ah, aren’t you happy? I haven’t noticed. Let’s go there, it looks interesting." Mo rolled his eyes, completely unconcerned with Luo Qianqian’s round, wide-eyed glare.
Looking at where Mo was pointing, Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched.
Haunted House?
She’s not some little girl; how could she be scared? Not possible.
So she followed Mo calmly into the Haunted House.
But looking at the ever-changing red flame-built scene in front of her, Luo Qianqian covered her mouth.
"I can’t comfort people, but I can do that movie stuff, kinda." Mo looked calm ahead: "Though it’s a bit draining..."
"Idiot."
The fire sculpted a fairytale before her, a cute little girl regenerating a small bird with tears...
If only the little girl’s face weren’t so much like hers.
"Have you been reading fairytales lately?"
"Yeah."
"Don’t read those much, they’re just deceiving children. Not every princess meets her prince; many princesses marry knights. And not every prince marries a princess; to them, any high-ranking family’s child would do. The big bad wolf doesn’t swallow prey to be cut open and save, and if there truly were that much happiness and joy together, what else would be worth worrying about in the world then?"
"..." Mo turned to look at Luo Qianqian in the red light, silent for a moment: "You believed it when you were a kid, right? Hence all these thoughts now."
Luo Qianqian: "!!!"
"No, no, don’t talk nonsense!"
"Oh..."
...
Exiting the Haunted House, the two bought ice cream, quietly watching the bustling crowd with faces full of nervous excitement and fear, yet still brimming with happiness.
"They really are easily satisfied." Mo looked at these expressions too, sighing.
"Mo, what do you wish for then?"
"Hmm?" Mo was taken aback.
Lowering his head subsequently, he took a couple bites of ice cream before asking: "Shiqi, what do you wish for?"
"Me? To protect those who love me and safeguard those I love, leading Nine Heavens Pavilion on a path where it’s not looked down upon." Luo Qianqian shrugged: "Actually, I once wished to be a couch potato."
"Couch potato?"
"Like living off the family, doing nothing, carefree and happy." Luo Qianqian wore a nostalgic smile on her face: "Back then, my brother was still young too."
"That sounds nice, but ultimately just a thought." Mo laughed.
"And you? No desires?"
"Me? Yan and I have been walking a predetermined path since childhood, as long as we follow their directions, it’s not wrong. So up until now, I haven’t had any particular desires." Mo’s face bore a smile, his colored glass eyes slightly lowered.
"Is that so? Actually, having such a powerful family reduces a lot of dangers for you as well. That’s quite good; I just wish to provide my younger brother and nephews such a worry-free living environment."
"Have you asked An Hao, asked him if that’s the life he really wants?"
Luo Qianqian looked at Mo surprised.
Mo pulled his lips, lowered his head without speaking.
He lied; he did want something, he wanted Luo Qianqian. Because of her meaning, because of everything she has, and because she herself...
