Song Jiaye and the staff were all holding their breaths in suspense. Since the road was blocked by trees, Li Qiyu didn't see the road when she galloped over. By the time she noticed, she was already in front of the wall. She quickly tightened the reins, and the horse tilted to the side, turned around, and finally managed to steady itself right in front of Song Jiaye's car.
Song Jiaye was sitting in the car, looking up at Li Qiyu on the horse. This scene felt oddly familiar. And he remembered where he had seen this kind of picture.
He had seen this scene in a dream.
In the dream, that girl, after returning from a battle, just like this, rode her horse and appeared in front of him, looking high - spirited, free and easy, and extremely valiant.
Except for the face, everything else, including her temperament and charm, was exactly the same.
For a moment, Song Jiaye couldn't even tell if he was in a dream or in reality.
At this moment, Li Qiyu had already dismounted. The staff gave her a good lecture. Li Qiyu also knew that she had been a bit too daring. She was just itching to have a go and couldn't control herself.
Thankfully, this horse wasn't very wild. It was almost docile and extremely obedient. Otherwise, in that situation just now, it would have crashed into the wall for sure.
Although the staff scolded her, they couldn't help but sigh, "Girl, your horsemanship is really good."
Not to mention that no tourists could gallop on a horse, even the staff rarely rode horses at a gallop. Most of them just rode around for a while occasionally and would never dare to run.
The horse was returned to the staff. Li Qiyu followed Song Jiaye and the others and took the park tour vehicle to continue playing the amusement park rides.
Along the way, Li Qiyu looked at this drafty park tour vehicle, which was so different from the cars she had ridden before. She was very curious and looked around here and there.
Song Jiaye beside her, however, seemed absent - minded.
After the staff dropped them off at the central point and drove away, Li Qiyu, having had a dashing experience on the horse, got bolder. She told Li Tong that she decided to challenge that thing called the roller coaster.
Li Tong excitedly went to the staff to get ready to go in and play. Song Jiaye grabbed her and asked, "You..."
Li Qiyu turned back, looked at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Her face appeared in Song Jiaye's field of vision. All the moments he had shared with Li Xiyu before suddenly flashed through his mind.
She wasn't her.
She couldn't be her.
Song Jiaye instantly woke up. His hand loosened. Li Qiyu thought he was okay and happily followed Li Tong to play the roller coaster.
Song Jiaye stood outside the railing and watched her and Li Tong get on the roller coaster.
Because of the shock Li Qiyu's horse - riding had brought him, Song Jiaye, a materialist, had to start believing in the mysterious. His mind quickly began to piece together a series of things that had happened since Li Xiyu fell into the water.
She always said that she had time - traveled. She could play Go, talk with Old Song about all kinds of things, liked to read ancient poetry collections, and said that the authors of the ancient poetry collections were her friends. Moreover, the words she casually said were all well - founded.
If she didn't have amnesia, she didn't even know how to brush her teeth. If she did have amnesia, she could ride a horse, swim, and write with a Chinese brush without being taught.
Moreover, Ming Yuexin had also said before that this wasn't some kind of split personality at all. It was simply that another person had taken over.
Could it really be time - travel?
While Song Jiaye was lost in his wild thoughts, Li Qiyu and Li Tong had already got off the roller coaster. The two of them walked down hand in hand. Li Tong excitedly recommended, "Auntie, Uncle, let's go on the big roller coaster!"
Song Jiaye smiled and stroked Li Tong's head, saying, "You guys go."
Li Tong looked at Song Jiaye in confusion. It was understandable that he couldn't participate in some of the previous rides because of his clothes, but there was no problem with sitting on the big roller coaster. Why didn't he want to go?
Li Tong curiously asked, "Uncle, are you scared?"
Li Qiyu also tilted her head and looked at Song Jiaye curiously. Although she didn't say a word, her eyes seemed to say, "Are you scared?"
"Who said I'm scared? I just..."
"If you're not scared, that's fine." Li Tong didn't give Song Jiaye a chance to argue. He grabbed Song Jiaye's hand and walked towards the big roller coaster. With Li Qiyu around, he couldn't let himself down in front of her, so he had to follow.
In front of the big roller coaster, children were told that they couldn't ride, so Li Tong had to stay quietly in the spectator stands. Li Qiyu and Song Jiaye walked in together.
The big roller coaster had two seats in a row. Li Qiyu and Song Jiaye sat in the same row. After buckling up their seat - belts, the big roller coaster slowly started.
During this process, Song Jiaye didn't know where to put his hands. He didn't dare to look at the tracks below his feet. His mind began to quickly recall the physics knowledge about roller coasters he had learned in physics class, like acceleration and eccentricity.
However, no amount of knowledge could calm a scared heart. When the big roller coaster climbed to the top of the hill, Song Jiaye's palms were already sweating nervously.
Li Qiyu saw that fine sweat had started to break out on his forehead. She reached out and grabbed the sleeve of Song Jiaye's clothes.
Song Jiaye turned his head to look at her.
With a calm face, she said, "I'm scared." She originally wanted to tell Song Jiaye through this way that he wasn't alone, hoping to ease Song Jiaye's mood.
Suddenly, Song Jiaye didn't know where the courage came from. Maybe he thought that a man was born to protect a woman. He reached out and grabbed Li Qiyu's hand in his, saying, "Hold on to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the big roller coaster suddenly plunged down. Song Jiaye was so scared that he closed his eyes tightly, and his face turned deathly pale.
And Li Qiyu waved her hand and excitedly shouted out.
After getting off the big roller coaster, Song Jiaye felt that his legs were already weak. Just as the staff was unbuckling her seat - belt, Li Qiyu was still saying, "One more time, one more time."
Song Jiaye, who had just got off the car, staggered and almost fell on the platform of the big roller coaster.
This woman. Didn't she just say she was scared?
Was this the look of being scared?
Because Li Tong was a child, he couldn't play many of the rides. Finally, they could only go to play the relatively safer bumper cars.
In the bumper - car arena, usually an adult would accompany a child. But Li Qiyu was having a hard time with the bumper car. She didn't know how to use the steering wheel and such.
Song Jiaye was very confused.
"Didn't you get your driver's license?" For someone who had a driver's license, even if they had forgotten the procedures, as soon as they touched the car, they would have muscle memory and automatically know how to step on the accelerator and the brake. Moreover, Li Xiyu had been driving for several years.
It was just a bumper car. How difficult could it be?
"Driver's license? What's that?" Li Qiyu looked at him with her big, innocent eyes.
Song Jiaye: "..."
What on earth was wrong with this woman?
