Chapter 16: Dusk in the Park

Tickets to the amusement park were free for children under the age of twelve, but they had to be accompanied by a parent.

The ticket seller said, "Don't you have any parents with you?"

Li Xiao Gui blinked her eyes innocently.

The ticket seller looked at the three children and asked, "Why are you three kids out here by yourselves? Do you need help?"

Li Xiao Gui quickly shook her head, "No, no, we're just out playing!"

The ticket seller asked, "Did you tell your parents?"

Li Xiao Gui nodded without hesitation, "Yes!"

Seeing that she didn't look like she was lying at all, the ticket seller was relieved and sighed, "You guys are so brave. But some of the rides in the amusement park are quite dangerous, so you have to have a parent with you to go in."

The ticket seller said patiently, "When you're a little older, make an appointment to come to the amusement park together again! I'll give you some cute little things then."

Li Xiao Gui nodded, "Mm-hmm! Thank you, mister."

Li Xiao Gui and her party thanked the kind ticket seller and walked to the shade of a tree not far away, where they formed a circle and whispered to each other.

Li Xiao Gui asked, "What should we do?"

Chen Yuanyuan followed, "What should we do?"

Shen Chen: "..."

Li Xiao Gui and Chen Yuanyuan's two round eyes looked at each other, then they both looked at Shen Chen.

Shen Chen: "..."

Shen Chen, who was completely blank, silent, and not thinking, was stared at by four grape-like eyes and finally began to panic.

His heart jumped wildly, and he began to think frantically about what was fun to do nearby, but how could he know where to have fun? He never went out to play at all!

Shen Chen pursed his lips, his expressionless face full of despair.

Then Li Xiao Gui and Chen Yuanyuan looked at each other again.

Suddenly, Chen Yuanyuan thought of something, her eyes lit up and she said, "Ah, I know a park, do you want to go there and play?"

Chen Yuanyuan said, "There's a lot of fun stuff there too! A lot of kids go there!"

Li Xiao Gui nodded, "Okay."

Then they both looked at Shen Chen, again with four big grapes. Shen Chen, who had no ideas anyway, nodded quickly, "Okay."

Chen Yuanyuan smiled, and Li Xiao Gui happily held out her small palm. Chen Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised her small hand to meet it, her smile unable to be suppressed.

Then Li Xiao Gui reached out her hand towards Shen Chen. Shen Chen followed suit and gently clapped Li Xiao Gui's hand.

Li Xiao Gui's eyes curved, and a soft, brownish light overflowed from them.

The three children ran around in the park. Shen Chen didn't want to run at first, but he couldn't keep up with Li Xiao Gui and Chen Yuanyuan, whose bangs were already flying upwards.

Li Xiao Gui and Chen Yuanyuan's eyes lit up as they each grabbed one of the straps of a large swing chair.

Shen Chen gasped slightly, it seemed that this was their target.

Shen Chen said, "You guys sit down, I'll push you."

Li Xiao Gui nodded, "Okay, I'll push you later."

Shen Chen didn't say anything, he wasn't interested in this at all. He looked at the filth and ghosts wriggling in the sunlight, they were all still very small, their resentment was faint, not aggressive, and would not cause any harm to humans. He looked at them, sighed, and then concentrated on pushing the swing for Li Xiao Gui and Chen Yuanyuan.

Li Xiao Gui really liked the feeling of flying up, it was super fun, and she happily thought that Shen Chen could experience it soon too.

So she couldn't wait to call a halt.

The swing wasn't difficult to operate, but it was still a bit too big for the young Shen Chen, especially when he swung it up, the swing, which was swinging violently, became even more difficult to control.

So when he wanted to stop the swing by holding it down, he was pushed back two steps by the force of the swing, holding the swing and swaying back and forth.

But he still didn't say a word, pretending that nothing had happened.

Li Xiao Gui jumped down excitedly and said, "It's my turn, it's my turn. Brother Shen Chen, you sit down, I'll push you."

Shen Chen: "No need."

Seeing Li Xiao Gui jump down, Chen Yuanyuan immediately followed her down, walked to Li Xiao Gui's side, and followed, "I'll help too, I'll help push too!"

"..." Looking at how excited they were, Shen Chen silently sat down on the swing.

The two girls were much stronger than a boy, and they were both using all their might.

"..." Shen Chen grabbed the bars on the side of the swing with an expressionless face, his body flew half a meter into the air with the swing, and drew several circles in the air.

"Hahahaha!" They laughed excitedly, whether they were sitting or pushing the swing, they were having a lot of fun.

After a round of playing, the three of them sat side by side on the swing to rest, and Chen Yuanyuan felt like going to the toilet.

Li Xiao Gui held a bottle of Yakult in her hand and said, "I'll go with you."

Chen Yuanyuan: "Okay!"

Shen Chen: "I'll wait for you here."

"Okay."

Li Xiao Gui and Chen Yuanyuan nodded and held hands to find the bathroom.

There were many fruits and snacks that Li Xiao Gui had brought on the swing, and Shen Chen was holding a bottle of Yakult in his hand. The sky was yellowish, it was already dusk.

They had been playing all afternoon, and there were gradually fewer people in the park.

Shen Chen looked around, not only were there fewer people, but even fewer spirits. The surroundings gradually became quiet and deserted. Shen Chen tilted his head, always feeling that there was something strange that he couldn't put his finger on.

The yin energy slowly rose with the night, the yin energy at night was always heavier, Shen Chen sat on the swing and looked ahead.

The orange-yellow, slightly sour liquid flowed into his mouth through the straw... Suddenly, the flow of liquid was interrupted, Shen Chen's long eyelashes raised, the half-raised Yakult poured back to the bottom of the shell, Shen Yan's teeth loosened, and the straw fell from his full lips.

...

Chen Yuanyuan came out of the bathroom, "Okay, let's go."

Li Xiao Gui: "Okay."

Li Xiao Gui looked at the sky: "It's already night, we have to go home."

Chen Yuanyuan nodded reluctantly: "Yes."

Li Xiao Gui: "Let's tell Brother Shen Chen and we'll go back, okay?"

Chen Yuanyuan: "Okay."

She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Shall we, shall we come out and play together next time?"

Li Xiao Gui nodded readily, "Okay."

They walked back along the path by the grass, the wind rustling.

A girl stood in front of Li Xiao Gui. Li Xiao Gui slowed down and gave way, walking past behind Chen Yuanyuan.

After passing the girl, Li Xiao Gui came back to walk behind Chen Yuanyuan.

Chen Yuanyuan was a little strange: "Why did you walk behind me just now?"

Li Xiao Gui said, "There was someone in front of us just now."

Chen Yuanyuan: "?"

"Where?" Chen Yuanyuan turned her head and said strangely.

So Li Xiao Gui also turned her head, the girl was still standing there, taller than Li Xiao Gui, wearing a floral dress, her face expressionless.

Out of politeness, Li Xiao Gui did not point, but carefully said to Chen Yuanyuan: "Yes, she's right in front of us, looking at us."
