Love Is Like a Roller Coaster

Love is actually quite similar to a roller coaster. The ups and downs and constantly changing trajectory are like finding a subtle position, while the direction remains the same.

Many people probably wouldn't understand this sentence.

The person who said that must be a pessimist.

He follows the typical case of most relationships that are destined to end abruptly along the way as the correct outcome of love, using the extreme speed and undulating track of a roller coaster as a metaphor for the ups and downs and surprises in love, while the final destination means that separation will come sooner or later.

Unless the train derails, you two can't stay together forever.

The average accident rate for roller coasters worldwide is less than one in 100,000.

This shows just how pessimistic the person who said this was about love, but he also undoubtedly acknowledged that the joy of being in love is far beyond what normal entertainment can offer.

The boy nervously touched the safety device securing his body with his fingertips.

Su Qing'an was naturally not nervous about the roller coaster ride that was about to begin.

Ninety kilometers per hour is not even as fast as his [Thousand Stars] at full speed. He could easily destroy this so-called safety facility with his own skills, as easily as tearing paper.

Therefore, Su Qing'an was only nervous about the person he was doing this with.

The boy secretly glanced at Fu Hua, who was looking at him with a hint of curiosity, and found her unusual expression quite adorable.

The two didn't have to wait in line for long before getting on this ride, which should theoretically be extremely popular.

Quite coincidentally, almost all the tourists who boarded the bus with them were couples.

In this way, their rather immature performance, coupled with their striking good looks, made them quite eye-catching.

They didn't hold hands, and spoke very little, yet their every move exuded an ambiguous atmosphere that was clearly visible to outsiders.

He chimed in:

"Has Hua never ridden this before?"

Fu Hua thought for a moment after hearing this, then said softly:

"Maybe before, but I've forgotten."

"But even if it did, it was a very, very long time ago."

A flicker of expectation flashed in her clear eyes; perhaps Theresa had inadvertently grasped her preferences.

Even though Fu Hua may seem a bit rigid to some, that doesn't mean she doesn't have things she likes.

When she was truly young, the girl named Hua was just an ordinary person who could express her own preferences in her heart and could smile without hesitation.

However, in the rest of her life, filled with many misfortunes, she lost the right to have these things.

But now, for some reason, during the days she spent with Su Qing'an, her heart seemed to have become a little more lively, no longer as lifeless and stagnant as before.

Noticing the smile on Su Qing'an's lips and her gaze, the girl looked away and said somewhat awkwardly, "..."

"Ahem, but perhaps this kind of game wouldn't be that interesting for us?"

Su Qing'an said frankly:

"It's okay, we came for the Headmaster's HOMU."

"If Hua likes it, then she can just get more merchandise."

Fu Hua nodded in reply:

"Yes, we came for the principal's merchandise."

Don't you ever say whether you like it or not?

The wheels gradually moved up the track, and the psychological pressure of the continuous uphill climb over thirty seconds made the passengers in the back start to feel nervous.

Then a sharp wind swept across my face, the immense centrifugal force pressed down on my body, and the car smoothly glided through a 210-degree tilt angle, the intricate, maze-like curves offering a breathtaking view.

High in the air, hundreds of meters above the ground, the various attractions of the theme park and the crowds walking below offer a beautiful view.

The girl smiled as she looked at the scenes from various angles, her mood light and cheerful.

Clearly, such a speed has no effect on the two people, especially with safety measures in place.

Amidst the cacophony of screams, the two gazed at the scenery as they saw it, their expressions serene with slight smiles.

Strangely enough, roller coasters should be a boring game for her. With her God-Slaying Armor and ability to use [Thousand Stars], Fu Hua finds roller coasters almost completely unexciting.

A detached mood should be the main theme of an immortal's existence in the world, but her current cheerfulness is just like that of a normal girl going out with her boyfriend. Even when she occasionally glances at cute ornaments on the roadside, the corners of her lips can't help but turn up.

Perhaps more than the game itself, this action can give her a strange feeling of returning to a long, long time ago, just like when Himeko drinks, she is reminiscing about some kind of memory. It is essentially a way of recreating a scene to help her remember.

Fu Hua is in a similar situation now, recreating the scene to bring forth emotions that shouldn't exist in her blank memories.

But what is she recreating now?

It's as if, fifty thousand years ago, this girl had also gone to an amusement park with someone, where they chatted about everything under the sun.

Fu Hua may have ridden roller coasters back then, but the girl back then was far from being as calm and composed as she is now. Even her joy was only revealed in subtle expressions, and only Su Qing'an could easily see through her true emotions.

Half an hour later.

The girl, carrying a huge pink doll, slowly walked out of the place with Su Qing'an.

Looking at her, Su Qing'an found it quite amusing that the usually aloof Su Qing'an was hugging such a girlish doll. He suppressed a smile and said:

"If I want to fool the headmistress, this doll should be enough, right? The staff said it's a limited edition Homu Doll, just released this year. Headmaster Theresa should like it."

After saying that, the boy suddenly realized that Fu Hua didn't seem to dislike today's unexpected event. He thought for a moment, then continued:

"But since we're already here, let's take our time exploring. We probably won't have many more opportunities to visit places like this in the future, so how about we stay a little longer this time?"

Fu Hua nodded without much hesitation and said:

"Good."

Su Qing'an silently unfolded the map. Compared to the nearby home furnishing and shopping center, it was obviously more interesting to stroll around the amusement park.

After all, he couldn't find a reason to go to such places. A home furnishing center to look at furniture for the wedding room? A shopping mall to buy a wedding dress, wedding rings, and take wedding photos?

He shook his head, forcibly suppressing his racing thoughts. Su Qing'an felt that he was getting a little too caught up in the atmosphere today, and his usually straightforward thinking was gradually changing in a strange direction.

But it would be abnormal to remain calm if this person were right next to you, wouldn't it?

Moreover, their recent interactions had been far too intimate. Even without much physical contact, the unprecedented length of time they had spent together made Su Qing'an somewhat unable to extricate herself from this lifestyle.

Love, indeed, is a poison that drowns people.

But he did it willingly.
