CHAPTER 384: CHAPTER 214: TREAT BITTERNESS AS SWEETNESS

The photo was clearly laid out here, and even Shu Wan’s fans couldn’t refute the media’s headlines.

The room was obviously hotel decor, and the two of them were actually staying in one room, and their behavior was very intimate.

"Don’t trust those promotional accounts too much, what if this person is Shu Wan’s brother or something?"

The fans tried to explain for Shu Wan, but the sharp-eyed netizens quickly discovered that the coats worn by the two of them were from C brand’s Valentine’s Day limited edition.

[Fans are trying to clear Shu Wan’s name, but can you come up with a better excuse?? Brother, huh? Since when do brothers wear matching outfits with their sisters? That’s just ridiculous.]

[Shu Wan looks so prim and proper, but she’s engaged in such thrilling deeds? Isn’t she afraid her very rich husband is going to come after her for boldly taking a pretty boy to the hotel?]

[Let’s not talk about anything else, even though we can’t see the man’s face, just looking at his build and demeanor, he definitely seems handsome. I’m saying, how could Shu Wan be content with an old man for life, secretly eating so well behind his back.]

Marital infidelity is disdainful in any era, let alone the fact that the constraints on women are a hundred times worse.

If it were a male celebrity, public opinion might focus on his philandering and lack of family responsibility, and after scolding him for a while, it would pass.

But for a female celebrity, this is a shame that is nailed deeply to the pillar of dishonor. For a rising female star like Shu Wan, the impact is fatal.

Once the image of an adulterous, promiscuous Shu Wan was established in the minds of the audience, it was essentially impossible to remove.

So, when the news broke, Wang Tian immediately started doing public relations.

Wang Tian recognized at a glance that the figure was Fu Si Yu, but Fu Si Yu and Shu Wan hadn’t gone public for so long, so Wang Tian naturally didn’t dare to reveal the truth.

He could only try to contact Shu Wan first to see what she had to say about it, but after several calls, no one answered.

At this time, Shu Wan hadn’t kept her phone with her because she was playing in the amusement park with Fu Si Yu.

The amusement park covered a large area and was usually built in the suburbs, and the one in Imperial City was no exception.

Shu Wan had seen it when she came back from the airport, but her memories from this era told her that amusement parks were for children, so she had never been to one.

Yet today, Fu Si Yu brought her here, something Shu Wan could never have expected.

However, after playing for a while, Shu Wan felt it was quite fun.

Sitting on the cartoon unicorn carousel, Shu Wan felt as if she had shrunk, becoming that little girl who didn’t need to think about too much, only how to ask her parents for candy when she got home at night.

"Look here."

Fu Si Yu was sitting on a dinosaur chair not far from Shu Wan, holding a camera and taking pictures of her.

Shu Wan turned her head, waved at the camera, and as the camera clicked, Shu Wan’s smile was captured.

There were many attractions in the amusement park. After the carousel, Shu Wan and Fu Si Yu played many other attractions.

None of the games were very intense, mainly because Shu Wan hadn’t played before, so she tried everything once, and by the end of it, she was actually a bit tired.

The two got off the pirate ship and were about to rest for a while when Shu Wan looked up and saw a steel dragon hanging high in the sky.

Shu Wan had seen this on TikTok, it was the "Skyrocketing roller coaster," and she was impressed by the screams of the players.

Noticing Shu Wan’s gaze, Fu Si Yu also looked up, "Want to try it?"

"I’d like to try."

"I’ll go with you."

"Okay," Shu Wan nodded.

Before the two arrived, the area had already been cleared, and the Skyrocketing roller coaster, which normally required an hour’s wait, was now directly available.

Shu Wan and Fu Siyu sat down on the roller coaster, and attendants came forward to help them fasten their safety harnesses.

Quickly, the roller coaster started, and during its slow acceleration, it gradually climbed to its highest point. As the largest amusement park in the state, this Skyrocketing roller coaster was naturally of the highest specification.

From nearly a hundred meters at the highest point, they could look down at all the buildings around.

It was approaching evening, and a rare winter sunset in Imperial City appeared in the sky. Large swaths of red and purple enshrouded the distance like mist, covering the entire world in a dreamy hue.

Shu Wan instinctively turned her head and met Fu Siyu’s deep gaze.

The twilight tinted his eyes with a layer of haze, yet her silhouette reflected in them was incredibly clear.

Shu Wan’s heart stirred, and just then, the roller coaster plummeted from the highest point. In an instant, all she could hear was the whistling of the wind, and all she could see was a blur of afterimages.

The roller coaster was fast, and the feeling of weightlessness was unpleasant. Shu Wan instinctively clenched her hand, only to feel it enveloped by warmth—Fu Siyu had taken hold of it.

Amidst the tumbling of the roller coaster, Shu Wan had no mind to worry about whether someone held her hand or not. All she could feel was the rapid movement, the uncomfortable weightlessness, and the warmth in her palm.

The Skyrocketing roller coaster was fast, so the entire ride did not take long, and quickly, it came to the end.

Shu Wan did not fear these thrilling rides, but there was a problem—she had not often experienced weightlessness. Amid the roller coaster’s dips and drops, Shu Wan felt her stomach rise to her throat, dizzy and nauseous, which was very uncomfortable.

After getting off the ride and barely taking a few steps, Shu Wan held onto Fu Siyu’s arm, "Wait a moment, I feel a bit dizzy."

Fu Siyu had not expected Shu Wan to get dizzy from the ride. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Is it serious? There’s a medical office inside the park. Let’s go have a look."

"That won’t be necessary," Shu Wan waved her hand. "It’s not serious, just a bit of dizziness. I’ll be fine after resting for a bit."

"I’ll carry you down."

Fu Siyu said this and squatted down in front of Shu Wan.

Hesitating for a moment, Shu Wan accepted Fu Siyu’s proposal and leaned onto his back.

The boarding point for the Skyrocketing roller coaster was on the second floor. Shu Wan initially thought that after Fu Siyu carried her down to the first floor, he would put her down, but even after exiting the ride’s hall, Fu Siyu continued without stopping.

"It’s nearly dark, and many rides can’t be enjoyed anymore. Let’s go back," Fu Siyu explained to Shu Wan, "I’ll carry you straight to the exit."

"Isn’t it tiring?"

The amusement park was large, and it would take roughly half an hour to walk to the exit from there.

"It’s a pleasure."

Fu Siyu responded with a single sentence.

Hearing Fu Siyu’s words, Shu Wan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, as if her heart had also fluttered briefly.

Just then, a park ferry car passed in front of them. Seeing the distinguished guests walking toward the exit, the staff approached warmly and asked, "Are you both heading out? It’s a half-hour walk from here. The ferry car takes less than ten minutes, and it’s very fast."

Fu Siyu did not answer the staff directly, but instead tilted his head slightly, "Do you want to take the car, or shall we walk there?"

The response to Fu Siyu was a stretch of silence.

As if predicting this, Fu Siyu was not in a hurry. He stood quietly, the light falling on his distinct features, spreading a blur of light and dark.

After an unknown amount of time, a very soft voice came from behind, "Let’s walk."

Brilliant lights entered Fu Siyu’s eyes, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, "All right."
