Country X, which was most famous for fairy tales, also had the largest amus.e.m.e.nt park and fairy tale manor in the world. Almost every year, the number of visitors could reach more than 100 million.
However, the numbers on this piece of paper could only be truly shocking when people personally arrived at the event location and felt what it meant to be crowded.
Murong Qiao was held by Huo Yichen as they pa.s.sed through the queue in front. As soon as they entered, their gazes were attracted by a large number of projection screens.
The little girl in the princess dress ran on the gra.s.s happily. Then, as if she had broken through the screen, she suddenly jumped out and landed on the ground, turning into a human-sized doll that appeared on the spot.
The people who had just entered all exclaimed in support, and the atmosphere was immediately pushed to a frenzy.
Murong Qiao pulled Huo Yichen along to join in the fun, but she suddenly felt something and turned around.
“What’s wrong?” Huo Yichen asked.
Murong Qiao looked at the bustling crowd behind her and didn’t see anything wrong. She shook her head.
For a moment, she felt that a gaze seemed to have landed on her from the moment she entered the amus.e.m.e.nt park and stopped for a long time. However, when she turned around and looked carefully, she didn’t find anything wrong.
It was probably her imagination.
She said casually, “I’m fine.”
seeing this, Huo Yichen didn’t say anything else and went in with Murong Qiao. About 70 to 80 meters away, Sofia hid at the signboard at the entrance of the VIP pa.s.sage of the amus.e.m.e.nt park and used the sign to hide her figure. Then, she followed Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen.
After Mira promised her last night, she pretended to be Sofia and stayed in the palace today. While lying to Celestia, she also gave Sofia a chance and s.p.a.ce to come out and play.
In order to prevent others from discovering her, Sofia didn’t bring anyone out with her.
“That was close.” She heaved a sigh of relief and followed.
The amus.e.m.e.nt park occupied a huge area. At a glance, there were countless entertainment facilities.
Before Murong Qiao could decide which one to play, her gaze was attracted by the shooting game stall beside her.
As the top game prize, the doll that was almost as tall as a person was placed in the most eye-catching position by the boss, attracting the attention of everyone who pa.s.sed by.
“Two tickets,” Huo Yichen shouted.
Seeing Murong Qiao’s gaze linger on it for a moment, he went straight to buy two tickets to partic.i.p.ate in the game.
However, just as they were waiting for the ticket seller to give the tickets to them, a person who shouldn’t be here suddenly cut the line and stood in front of Huo Yichen.
“I want one too!” It was Sophia who spoke.
She had come out today for Huo Yichen. When she followed him secretly just now, she was still thinking about how to approach him reasonably when she saw Huo Yichen buy a ticket.
It was very reasonable to meet them when she came out to play.
Hence, Sofia also came over to buy a ticket. She even pretended to be very surprised and looked at Huo Yichen, pretending that she had accidentally b.u.mped into him.
“You’re here too?” She raised a smile.
However, Huo Yichen didn’t buy it at all. Even when he heard Sofia say this to him, he took his ticket and turned to leave without hesitation.
However, Sofia followed. When she saw Huo Yichen throw his vote into the top-notch doll game, she followed suit.
“You want that prize?” Sofia asked.
Murong Qiao, who had just come to meet Huo Yichen, saw the princess at a glance and raised her eyebrows in surprise.
She greeted her, but unfortunately, Sofia’s mind was not on Murong Qiao at all. On the other hand, Huo Yichen carefully wiped the simulated gun designed for people to play with with a tissue and placed it in Murong Qiao’s hand in satisfaction.
Sofia stood at the side and saw Huo Yichen’s actions clearly.
She was so angry that she couldn’t maintain the smile on her face. She subconsciously wanted to ask the maid to wipe it for her too, but just as she was about to say it, she remembered that in order not to expose what she had done today, she didn’t let anyone follow her out at all.
Now, she had shot herself in the foot.
But no matter what Sofia thought, the shooting game had already begun.
“Shall I try first?” Murong Qiao picked up the model gun.
The target was moving at different speeds. Murong Qiao pulled the trigger and shot. The nearest target fell to the ground.
Perhaps this small achievement gave her some confidence, so Murong Qiao hit her target a few more times.
However, when it moved further away, her accuracy didn’t seem to be too optimistic.
After the decrease in distance, the force of the plastic bullets gradually decreased. The target was on the verge of collapse, but it didn’t collapse in the end.
Murong Qiao was staring at the target. Seeing that it didn’t fall, she couldn’t help but frown.
But in the next second, a sharp air-piercing sound sounded from beside her.
Sofia was holding the same gun. From her posture, it was obvious that she had undergone very professional training. She pretended to be relaxed and knocked down the three targets there.
“Your aim doesn’t seem to be very good.” Sofia looked at her.
She had received all kinds of lessons since she was young. Among them, holding a gun and learning to shoot accurately was naturally one of them.
Even in a shooting game, Sofia could be said to be relaxed and confident.
Murong Qiao was not angry. She only chuckled.
She could tell that Sofia was trying to attract Huo Yichen’s attention in this way. Then, she calmed down and fired a few more shots.
But Sofia seemed to want to go against her. She specially picked the ones Murong Qiao couldn’t hit accurately. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance.
In such a situation, even a clay figurine would be a little angry, let alone Murong Qiao.
She was a little angry, so her original thoughts of treating it as a game couldn’t help but become much more serious.
As if sensing Murong Qiao’s different emotions, a pair of hands reached out from behind her to support her and completely stabilized the gun that was originally swaying.
“Calm your mind and focus.”
Huo Yichen’s voice sounded in her ears.
His voice seemed to have a magical power that made people feel strangely at ease. After saying a few words, Murong Qiao took a deep breath and composed herself.
“With no distractions and—”
The trigger was pulled.
The farthest and smallest target was. .h.i.t and fell to the ground without any chance to resist.
Feeling the heat on the back of her hand, Murong Qiao was suddenly distracted for a moment. She recalled a long time ago, when she went to Jiang Weiyang’s gathering at the archery range.
Huo Yichen seemed to be the same at that time.
At this moment, a certain moment in her memory suddenly overlapped with
the scene in front of her, causing Murong Qiao to be in a daze.
Huo Yichen also looked down at her. Their eyes met, and in the midst of the noise, there seemed to be a strange silence.
Sofia had just finished her last shot and wanted to show off her very satisfied results.
However, when she turned around, she saw Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen looking at each other as if no one was around. The joy that had surged into her heart instantly disappeared.
It was as if a basin of ice water had been splashed on her, making her joy disappear. The incomparably hot temperature in her heart instantly disappeared.
She was completely ignored..
