Volume 1 Chapter 21 (1/2)
TL: From this chapter onwards, there will be two sections after the chapter, (1) footnotes and (2) chapter glossary.
(thanks kartikeye for the suggestion!)
Also, [Demon Skirt Flipper] will be renamed to [Demonic Skirt Flipper] this chapt onwards, that's a good suggestion given by kartikeye!
The footnotes will explain the various idioms and puns of the chapt (if it can be delayed till later, not necessitating inserting the meaning within the chapt itself)
The chapter glossary explains the appendixes and people in the current chapter.
Volume 1, Chapter 21: A date with her 3
TL: flarewk
A wide variety of boats were currently floating atop of the artificial lake in the theme park. With visitors happily rowing the boats about, it seemed like a rather relaxing moment among the hustle bustle.
In one of the boats, I was lying down on the uneven boat floor while being dosed with saline through a drip, as Ma Qing Xue sat beside and fanned me.
I really felt quite terrible at the moment....
After disembarking from the h.e.l.l carousel, I somehow felt that my inner organs had already been jumbled up. Not even having the chance to rest, under Ma Qing Xue's request I dragged my heavily injured body to accompany her onto the boats.
”This bag had already been transfused, it's time for nutrient solutions now~”
Having to had a drip aboard a boat is really enough already alright!”
”Ma Qing Xue, I beg you, can you please let me lie down at the infirmary?”
”No way, there isn't much time left to be wasted for today!”
”All right....oh yeah, there's some air inside right there, help me to let out some air...”
Finis.h.i.+ng this nutrient solution drip may require quite an amount of time, hence I took out my outerwear and laid it behind my head, planning to have a short nap.
The hot summer season, people generally tends to feel rather drowsy due to it, and that's no exception to Ma Qing Xue as well.
When I woke up, she was lying onto my belly, as her mouth kept talking in her sleep.
”Zhang Jian....don't do thatttt.....it's too stimulating alreadyyyy....hehee...”
What kind of dream were you exactly having right now! Just from hearing the contents alone is enough to make me sit in jail already....
The corner of my eyes peeking towards the drip's bag, it had already been transfused entirely, hence I took off the injection from my right arm, and waited for the blood to clot before waking her up.
”This is strange.....weren't we at the park....? Where's Xiao Xin gone to?”
After she woke up, she blurrily looked around the boat in a daze, by the way who was Xiao Xin?
”Who's Xiao Xin?”
”He's Zhang Xin~ our son, don't you remember?”
”.......”
In my memory I honestly don't recall having any son called Zhang Xin at all....
”Wake up!!”
I clasped my hands beside her ears, which made her shudder out a sudden in fright.
”Have you woken up yet?”
”Woken already....but I really wished for to be forever sleeping....I really want the dream to continue on forever....”
”A dream is just a dream, don't run away from reality!”
”All right, hehee....”
She stroked her own head as she smiled foolishly towards me, looks like she's still reminiscing about her dream.....
After we've disembarked from the boat, when we were in the midst of searching for another attraction a person who looked like a photographer stopped us in our tracks.
”Good day to you two~ seeing you two being so lovey dovey, you must have been a couple, right? We're hosting a event just for couples only, may I ask if you two are interested to partic.i.p.ate in it?”
”No, we....”
”Sure~”
Ma Qing Xue suddenly forcefully pinched my thigh, it hurt till I couldn't finish what I was speaking earlier.....
Following the photographer back to the event site, this is an event named ”How much do you know your lover?”, mainly about a Q&A prize event.
The event rules are for the males to first write down questions about themselves, then afterwards the females are to answer these questions, the couple with the most number of correct answers will be the winners.
At the backstage, after being asked roughly ten plus questions by the event personnel, and waiting for a few minutes after that, the event begun.
”Everybody, welcome to our specially hosted theme event at the theme park, the event this time will have a total of three kinds of awards, and about the prizes, they will be revealed after the winner have been announced, so stay tuned~!”
”There are a total of one hundred and thirty five pairs of couples partic.i.p.ating in the event; firstly, I would like to say that no matter what the outcome of this event is, I sincerely wish everyone will be able to always have their hearts united and remain happily married till an ripe old age together~!”
The emcee upon coming up straightaway gave such a long talk, looks like this event would be rather time consuming...
”First question~ What is your boyfriend's favorite food?”
The females at the bottom of the stage took out their paperboard to write the answers down, and after the event personnel checked each of their answers, nearly half of them got eliminated....
The results were so devastating just after the first round! Are you guys really a couple!!
”Second question! What color does your boyfriend like?”
Again, this question eliminated quite a number of people, looks like many of those who partic.i.p.ated in this event are fresh couples.....
Although you can say that me and Ma Qing Xue's relations.h.i.+p weren't even considered to be a couple, but she's surprisingly not eliminated yet.
”Third question, what kind of sports is your boyfriend good at?”
Ma Qing Xue actually answered that correctly, and this streak happened all the way till the 15th question; right now those who weren't eliminated left just only three couples, and among them is me and Ma Qing Xue, she actually knew so much about me.....
Some of the questions I had pondered over for quite a long time before writing it out you know!
”The sixteenth question, what kind of pets does your boyfriend likes?”
My answer is a little bird, this is probably because I'm more thirsting for freedom, and I'm guessing that Ma Qing Xue wouldn't get this question right as I've lied to her earlier saying that I had a kitten called jingjing in my house.....
”Bird!”
A firm and confident answer.....how do you know that!!
Another person got eliminated, right now it's Ma Qing Xue and another lady who looked roughly around twenty plus years old, that should be a rather old couple, if not they couldn't persist all the way till now.
”The seventeenth question! Does your boyfriend really likes you? Please note that your answer must be accurate to the original answer then it'll be counted!”
This is a rather problematic question, and it's also the simplest question too, as normally one would just write down that they like....
But, my answer is slightly different, as because I originally wasn't even in a love relations.h.i.+p with Ma Qing Xue, plus that I have zero interest towards winning or losing in the compet.i.tion.
”Like!”
The twenty plus years old lady took precedence in answering, and this basically would be the correct answer already.
”Wrong! I'm terribly sorry, but your boyfriend's answer is that he loves you the most, please note that like and love are two completely different meanings!”
After the twenty plus years old lady answered wrongly she became depressed for a short moment, and not long afterwards she revealed an even happier smile onto her face.
Although she answered the question wrongly, but her boyfriend seemed to have loved her more than she could have imagined....it's considered not a bad ending already, I guess.
”Don't like, but will like her in the future!”
This was Ma Qing Xue's answer.
She smiled dazzlingly as she looked towards me; it feels like she had almost seemingly having seen through my intentions.
