The Great Magician (2-in-1)
Whether it's An Nuan or Bai Hui, they are dream-like girls to most people. Liu Chang'an also found them pleasing to the eye. Modern women, as long as they are healthy, develop normally, manage their figures a little, and dress up, are not unattractive.
From the perspective of modern aesthetics, female beauty is mostly an overall improvement. Measured in terms of physical health and mental temperament, and excluding distorted preferences, from the 17th century to the early 20th century, female beauty showed a steep decline, both in terms of physical health and mental appearance.
This is an overall trend, and picking out individual cases like Ye Sijin and Su Mei to refute it is meaningless.
Of course, the same was true for men during this period. Their servility, selfishness, indifference, and numbness emanated from within. After all, they had been suppressed and called "slave" for three hundred years, which was like splashing a thick layer of pig and cow dung on the spirit of the nation, making it stinking.
Fortunately, some backbones were not broken and stood up again, but some things still have a lasting negative impact and are difficult to erase.
Liu Chang'an brought his wandering thoughts back to An Nuan. To be honest, all the female monkeys he had ever seen combined were not as beautiful as An Nuan's fingernails.
Women are the most beautiful result of natural evolution. Looking back at women in ancient times, the difference is truly enormous.
Or perhaps it's just a change in aesthetic standards. When humans still lived in trees or caves, there must have been universally recognized beauties of similar caliber to "An Nuan" and "Qin Yanan."
An Nuan and Bai Hui screamed in surprise as they dodged, realizing that the pirate ship and the children were exchanging fire, inevitably causing some fish to be caught in the crossfire.
This is an activity at an amusement park. On the pirate ship, staff members dressed as pirates hold water guns. There are also many water guns in the shade or rest areas of the visitor area. Visitors can pick up water guns and fight with the "pirates." This activity is mostly played by children.
"BIU!"
Bai Hui screamed again. The young man who had been shouting the loudest in the elevator area was grinning and continuing to spray Bai Hui with a water gun. An Nuan's outer garment next to her was also slightly wet.
"Hey beauties, let's play wet and wild!" The young man relentlessly pursued her, shooting his load.
Liu Chang'an walked over and grabbed the young man's water gun.
"What are you doing?" The young man, who was a little over 1.7 meters tall, was still somewhat intimidated by Liu Chang'an.
Liu Chang'an remained expressionless and casually slapped him across the face.
Why did you hit me?
The young man felt embarrassed and angrily jumped away, usually calling out to the few friends who had been cheering him on.
"Forget it!" Bai Hui and An Nuan ran over and grabbed Liu Chang'an. This kind of prank to get girls wet is very common. The key is that neither of them was wearing clothes that would easily reveal their private parts if they got wet.
"Then forget it." Liu Chang'an was very easy to talk to.
"Never mind?"
"You think you can just let it go like that?"
Don't you know that you shouldn't hit someone in the face?
I didn't play today!
"Don't be a country bumpkin, you think you can just run away after hitting someone?"
Liu Chang'an turned his head expressionlessly, grabbed the young man who had jumped in front of him again, and shoved him upside down into the large white bucket next to him.
Water guns need to be refilled, so there were several buckets filled with water in the area where the toy water guns were placed.
"I'm... I... wow... help..."
The second one who rushed over was thrown into another bucket by Liu Chang'an.
One by one, Liu Chang'an threw them into the bucket. The four young men and the young man were all thrown into the bucket by Liu Chang'an.
The five people struggled to climb out of the bucket, and a burst of laughter erupted around them. Some confused tourists even thought they were playing in the water!
The pirate ship arrived, and the "pirates," seeing the soaking wet tourists, assumed they were having a great time. Naturally, they wanted to ignite the tourists' excitement, so they quickly increased their firepower, spraying water like they were putting out a fire.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, An Nuan quickly pulled Liu Chang'an away.
Bai Hui hid in a food truck to greet An Nuan and Liu Chang'an, and ordered fried sausages, stinky tofu, two glasses of watermelon juice, and one glass of orange juice.
Orange juice? Bai Hui hadn't expected that Liu Chang'an had only ordered one glass of orange juice today, yet he had already remembered Liu Chang'an's preference. An Nuan couldn't help but become wary.
"Let's eat here and then go out later. They won't expect us to be here when they chase after us." Bai Hui glanced out the window and then drew the curtains again.
"That's why it's safer to go out with boys. If it were just us, we would definitely get soaked." An Nuan said with a mixture of disgust and relief, and then took Liu Chang'an's arm.
"Some people use jokes or games as an excuse to do lewd things. If you get angry and take it seriously, they'll innocently say, 'Look, everyone's playing around. What are these water guns for? If you can't handle it, then don't come to the water gun area...'" Bai Hui said indignantly, agreeing with An Nuan's statement. Only then did she realize that she might not have paid attention to the issue of being safer with boys before. After all, she had two followers. It seems that for a long time now, she's either alone or with Miao Yingying. Luckily, she met Liu Chang'an today.
It's actually quite common to encounter perverts or creeps in water parks. Some people even hide in the water park to watch girls in swimsuits masturbate, and then when the time comes, they huddle behind some girls... They even have places like water gun chat groups to exchange experiences.
A sick society, sick humanity, twisted desires.
"But why should we run?" Liu Chang'an said regretfully, "I was having so much fun playing the wet and wild game with them."
"You're the one having fun, they seem to be going crazy." Bai Hui chuckled.
"The tickets are expensive. If a fight really breaks out, Liu Chang'an will definitely win, but what if things get out of hand and we can't have fun?" An Nuan didn't want her date with Liu Chang'an to be ruined, even though she had no choice but to have a third wheel with her.
"That's true. Let's go bungee jumping later. It's rare that I'm not wearing a skirt today," Bai Hui said eagerly.
"I'm wearing a cardigan, and if I tuck it in, my shirt won't hang upside down. But your T-shirt... when you jump, it'll probably expose you, maybe even your bra will burst open. I saw a bungee jumping video last time, and that's what happened." An Nuan thought for a moment and said with some concern for Bai Hui, while keeping an eye on her boyfriend for any signs of his eyes lighting up.
No.
"You can jump first. After you get up, lend me your cardigan. You can tie it around your chest and it'll be all covered up." Bai Hui thought for a moment, then had a sudden inspiration. There was no other way; girls with big breasts often encountered similar problems, so they were quick to solve them.
"Boys have it so much better. They don't have as many worries and troubles as we do. They can play in the water whenever they want, and they can bungee jump whenever they want. I'm so envious," An Nuan said enviously.
"I envy that you were able to meet me," Liu Chang'an smiled.
"You should envy yourself for meeting me," An Nuan snorted.
"Eat something." Bai Hui stopped talking about the dog food and expressionlessly greeted the snacks and drinks that were served.
Bai Hui and An Nuan ate large sausages, Liu Chang'an ate stinky tofu.
The sausage was split open, so it wouldn't normally evoke any associations, but An Nuan still took a bite and secretly chuckled.
Zhong Qing sent a message asking for Bai Hui's location. Bai Hui sent her her location, then drew back the curtains and took a few photos of the surrounding area before sending them to Zhong Qing.
Zhong Qing had already come in and quickly found his way over. He ordered a Coke and let out a long sigh. "Actually, it's not as exaggerated as Liu Chang'an said. The water in the water park looks quite clear, but it's hard to say for sure if the instruments can actually measure it. I feel that for a resort in a city like Junsha, a water park with a variety of attractions would be very helpful in attracting visitors. Fortunately, Junsha, which is known as a furnace with long periods of high temperatures in the summer, doesn't have a single large-scale water park to match, which is exactly our entry point."
"It's a cost issue. It's too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. Such a project requires a huge investment, but the boom period only lasts for a little over three months. To earn enough money for a year in such a short time, the ticket price would have to be extremely high, but the consumption capacity of Junsha is still quite different from that of first-tier cities," Liu Chang'an casually analyzed.
"We will set up part of the project in a huge glass house, which will transform into a snow and ice kingdom in the fall and winter, including ice sculpture viewing, ski resorts, and so on." Zhong Qing had already obtained the project list, so it wasn't exactly a trade secret.
"When will it be completed? I really want to go and play!" An Nuan said enthusiastically.
"It'll probably take at least three to five years to complete," Bai Hui said, not very optimistically.
"Three years should be about right. If things go fast, it could be within three years. Preliminary work has already begun, and once construction and equipment testing are complete, it should be open for business in 2019." Zhong Qing smiled. "At that time, we'll give you a complimentary super VIP experience."
"Thank you, cousin!" Bai Hui started to look forward to it again. After all, VIP experience tickets for super-large amusement parks are very useful. For example, the only Disney in China, the most expensive VIP ticket costs three thousand yuan per person. After all, for rich people, queuing for two or three hours for popular rides is a waste of time.
"By the way, Secretary Zhong, where is your beautiful young lady? Isn't she going to try out these activities herself?" An Nuan asked curiously. She had a vivid memory of a girl like Zhu Juntang after seeing her twice.
"She's a fairy..." Zhong Qing couldn't help but glance at Liu Chang'an, "She won't descend to the mortal realm unless she knows Liu Chang'an is here."
Hearing this answer, An Nuan was a little unhappy, but then she smiled, "She cares about my boyfriend that much?"
To be precise...
Liu Chang'an stepped on Zhong Qing's foot.
"To be precise, she wanted to see Liu Chang'an perform magic tricks, because Liu Chang'an is a magic master." Zhong Qing had to change her words. She originally wanted to say that, to be precise, the Third Mistress was more interested in Liu Chang'an and wanted Liu Chang'an to be Zhu Juntang's fiancé.
This can also be seen as a reminder to An Nuan to keep a close eye on Liu Chang'an. Zhong Qing really didn't provoke her on purpose; she just knew very well that the Third Mistress was unscrupulous in her actions, and she felt a little sorry for An Nuan.
"You're a magician?" Bai Hui and An Nuan looked at Liu Chang'an in surprise. Neither their former deskmate nor their former deskmate knew this, especially since one of their deskmates had become his girlfriend.
"Most magic tricks are illusions. Another type of magic trick works when the audience's intelligence is low; you can perform anything, and they'll still think it's a brilliant trick." Liu Chang'an gave an example. "For instance, if you grab a piece of candy in front of a one- or two-year-old child, quickly clench your fist, quickly drop it, and then open your hand in front of them, they'll think you made the candy disappear and won't notice your obvious action of dropping the candy."
"Is Zhu Juntang really that stupid?" An Nuan asked in surprise, almost believing it.
"She can't be that stupid, can she?" Bai Hui asked, slightly doubtful but also willing to believe in her surprise.
"I told her I knew Qin Shi Huang, and ever since then she's been searching for evidence of my Longevity. It wasn't until my cousin told her the 'I, Qin Shi Huang, send money' joke that she started to waver," Liu Chang'an shook his head. "Clearly, I really do know Qin Shi Huang, but only a fool would believe that. And once a fool becomes smart, he stops believing it."
The three girls laughed. After all, it was quite satisfying to see someone like Zhu Juntang, who seemed so arrogant, being made up like this.
Zhong Qing, in particular, was laughing so hard he was shaking. After glancing at his fluctuating laughter, An Nuan believed the view that maternal genes had a greater influence on physiology.
Many people are interested in gossiping about their bosses and leaders, but it depends on the person and their mindset. If Liu Chang'an had just met Liu Chang'an and he had teased Zhu Juntang like that, Zhong Qing would have been angry. But now she would be laughing happily. It's like how women can be very dirty-minded and tell dirty jokes, but it depends on who they are talking to.
After finishing their meal, they continued their sightseeing. The young people were probably in a sorry state, so they left Window of the World and didn't run into them again. An Nuan and Bai Hui went bungee jumping, but Liu Chang'an thought it was too short and didn't go. When he said he liked to jump from Baolong Center, the staff gave him a thumbs up to show their admiration.
Zhong Qing didn't play because she was wearing a skirt and felt that she was too old and wearing a business suit, so she should be more reserved. But when it came to the haunted house, she screamed the loudest, even pushing Bai Hui aside and grabbing Liu Chang'an's arm to hug her. An Nuan huddled in Liu Chang'an's arms, her eyes darting around like a little mouse, watching the monsters and ghosts that suddenly stuck their heads out or crawled halfway on the ground.
After leaving the haunted house, the girls were all embarrassed. Zhong Qing apologized to Liu Chang'an and An Nuan while fixing her hair and clothes. Bai Hui, considering that she had taken advantage of her cousin a lot, couldn't hold it against Zhong Qing for making her eardrums deaf.
An Nuan didn't hold it against others for taking advantage of Liu Chang'an. They were all girls, and when they screamed in fright, they weren't thinking about anything else, so she could understand.
After playing until the afternoon, everyone ended their enjoyable day and happily went home.
On his way home, Liu Chang'an bought groceries. Just as he returned to his neighborhood, he ran into Zhou Shuling, followed by Zhou Dongdong, who was happily dejected about not wanting to go to primary school anymore because she had failed to register for the entrance exam.
