Chapter 459 Disneyland Private Tour
Chapter 459 Disneyland Private Tour
“That was my first part-time job since I came to Shanghai…”
Yu Duo poked in the bowl with chopsticks. Zhou Wang didn’t know what she was doing, but he felt that no matter what she did, there was a kind of cuteness.
“At that time, I contacted a sister from the Shanghai Cosplay Club. I had known her online before, but after meeting her, I found that this sister was really nice. She waited for me at the subway entrance and took me to a day of activities. She would also help me if someone harassed me…”
Yu Duo tilted her head and leaned on Zhou Wang’s shoulder from time to time. Occasionally, the ends of her hair would curl up and make Zhou Wang’s neck itchy.
“After the evening event, I said I would treat this sister to a meal as a thank you, and then we just happened to pass by this little noodle shop.”
“I told that sister, I’ll treat you to yellow croaker noodles, okay?”
“That sister said yes, yes.”
“Then we came in and ordered our meals together at the front desk, but when it came time to pay, I realized I didn’t have that much money…”
Yu Duo said sadly, “Two bowls of noodles cost 170 yuan in total, but I only had 130 yuan in my WeChat account at the time. I thought it would be enough if I just treated that sister to noodles, but I didn’t expect that I was still several dozen yuan short.”
“My mind went blank at the time, and I had no idea what to do. The sister saw my embarrassment, so she took the initiative to pay the bill and smiled and told me it was okay, and that I would treat her to a delicious meal when I got my part-time salary…”
“Zhou Wang, I’m telling you, I don’t want to cry, but I can’t control myself. Every time I eat a bite, a tear falls. Every time I eat a bite, a tear falls…”
“That sister kept comforting me, but the more she comforted me, the more I wanted to cry… wuwuwu…”
As Yu Duo spoke, she began to sob softly again. Zhou Wang was speechless for a moment and could only hold her hand and let her vent.
“I had never realized that the prices outside were so expensive. That day I realized how happy my life was before, but I knew I could never go back. I would only be a miserable worker in the future, exposed to the wind and sun, bullied by others, and slowly age into a yellow-faced woman…”
Zhou Wang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Is this how the term “yellow-faced woman” is used?
But he could probably understand Yu Duo’s mood.
Few people can accept the gap between becoming rich and falling into poverty. Yu Duo just cried and that was it. In fact, she is a girl with a very good mentality.
“By the way, I still owe Sister Xixi tens of thousands of dollars…”
“I heard her talk about this.”
Zhou Wang smiled and said, “It’s what happened on the day you met, right? Don’t worry, I’ve already paid it back for you.”
“really?”
Yu Duo was delighted at first, but then she said in frustration, “But this means I owe you money. That’s not right. Dad said we still have to pay you back 80 million. Ah, what should I do? I feel like I can never pay it back…”
“If you can’t pay it back, then don’t pay it back. Or you can learn from the ancient women. There are many ways to repay a favor.”
Zhou Wang smiled.
“Ancient woman?”
Yu Duo blinked her eyes. This time she was much smarter and reacted instantly. She didn’t know what she remembered. Yu Duo was a little shy at first, and then she kicked Zhou Wang lightly.
“No, Mom said that’s not right.”
“your mom?”
Zhou Wang was stunned, not knowing why Yu Duo suddenly said this. He asked in surprise, “You told your mother about us? What did you say, and what did she say?”
“Oh, don’t ask me. Mom didn’t let me tell you. It’s all my fault that I let it slip…”
Yu Duo was shy and refused to answer.
Seeing this, Zhou Wang did not continue to ask, but just touched her head and said, “Okay, then I won’t ask any more questions. Just eat quickly.”
“Hmm… Zhou Wang, let me give you a taste of my lo mein. These two noodles taste different.”
As Yu Duo spoke, she naturally exchanged their bowls of noodles. She didn’t dislike Zhou Wang’s bowl of noodles that was already eaten into pieces, and started eating it in small bites.
“Hehe, I didn’t taste anything the other day, but today I realized that this noodle is really delicious…”
“It’s really good.”
Zhou Wang also concentrated on the delicious food in front of him.
The yellow croaker is sweet and fresh, the milky white soup is rich, the side dishes are fragrant, and the fried yellow croaker also has a unique flavor. All in all, this is the most refreshing meal I have had since coming to Shanghai last week.
When all the snacks and fried yellow croaker were finished, Yu Duo patted her belly contentedly and turned to look at Zhou Wang.
“Big bad guy, where are we going?”
Zhou Wang was actually still a little hungry, but it didn’t matter. After all, it was dinner, and eating too much would make him feel uncomfortable.
Hearing Yu Duo’s question, Zhou Wang said casually, “I asked Xixi to give some suggestions. There are currently three options. One is to go to a concert, but there is only JJ’s concert tonight. I don’t know if you like it. We will sit in the first row…”
“The second is a night cruise on the Huangpu River. Someone just gave me a yacht recently, but I haven’t seen it yet…”
“The third option is to go to a hot spring and listen to music. A friend recommended a private hot spring on the top floor of a hotel. We can book it directly. From there we can overlook the night view of Shanghai and have a drink. It sounds great.”
Listening to the options Zhou Wang listed, Yu Duo’s brain froze for a moment.
Apparently, this wasn’t what she’d imagined a “date” would be like…
But there is no doubt that each one of them was not what she expected, and it was not the kind of date that ordinary people could choose.
Unplanned VIP seats for concerts, a private yacht tour of the Huangpu River, and a private hot spring on the top floor of the hotel…
To be honest, among these three options, the one that Yu Duo is most excited about is actually the private hot spring on the rooftop of the hotel.
It has been a long time since she had a good bath.
However, due to girls’ natural shyness, even though Yu Duo didn’t have much knowledge in this regard, she could subconsciously feel that this seemed to be a very “dangerous” thing.
Besides, she had to expose her flat body to Zhou Wang, which was a little unacceptable to Yu Duo…
Even though Zhou Wang had already figured out her curves.
There was another reason that made Yu Duo feel a little uncomfortable, but she couldn’t say it.
These three dating options were all provided by Xu Wenxian.
Ever since that day when Yu Duo sent several messages to Xu Wenxi but Xu Wenxi did not reply to her, the two girls seemed to suddenly become estranged.
From talking to each other all the time before, to now having no contact for almost a week…
Yu Duo has been avoiding thinking about this matter, just like she had never dared to think about how to face Sister Ranran in the future.
And now, the dating advice from Xu Wenxi was like a blunt knife, gently scraping Yu Duo’s heart.
Did she interfere with her “boss” or did she want to steal her “bad guy” away?
Yu Duo couldn’t figure it out.
But at this moment, she subconsciously resisted these arrangements from Xu Wenxi, even though Sister Xixi only did so at Zhou Wang’s “instruction”…
“I, I don’t know what I want to do either.”
Yu Duo said hesitantly, “How about we go to Disneyland? I’ve always wanted to go there since I came to Shanghai, but I never had the chance. I heard there’s a Halloween party recently… No, I can’t go there…” “Disneyland?”
Zhou Wang was startled, and asked in confusion, “Why can’t I go?”
“You have to book your tickets in advance, and it’s already very late. You won’t be able to play any of the activities if you go there. You have to queue up, and the most you can do is watch the fireworks show…”
Yu Duo said a little frustratedly, “It’s all my fault. I should have proposed it to you yesterday so that we could plan ahead.”
Zhou Wang knocked on the table thoughtfully.
Disney…
is it possible?
Zhou Wang didn’t know, after all, he had never been there, but he could give it a try.
“Wait for me, I’m going to go out and make a phone call.”
Zhou Wang thought about it, then stood up and said something to Yu Duo.
“Yeah, I won’t run around~”
Yu Duo nodded obediently.
……
Zhou Wang was on the phone for a long time. About twenty minutes later, he came back in.
“Let’s go, it should be just the right time to go there now.”
Zhou Wang took a look and saw that it was already past seven in the evening. With the driving time, he could just make it in time for the park to close.
“Ah, where are you going?”
Yu Duo asked in confusion.
“Just follow me, and you’ll know soon.”
Zhou Wang left some space for Yu Duo to feel surprised and just smiled.
“OK then!”
Yu Duo pouted and didn’t ask any more questions. She let Zhou Wang hold her hand and they walked out of the store together.
……
Zhou Wang felt a little regretful.
It’s a bit far from Xijiao Hotel to Disneyland, and the drive takes nearly an hour, but Zhou Wang didn’t think it mattered.
After all, now is the time when he is most interested in this newly purchased Porsche 918 Spyder. It’s only thirty or forty kilometers, and he can definitely drive it.
But the facts have proved that even a sports car worth tens of millions of yuan still cannot change its shortcomings of too stiff suspension and extremely poor comfort. After driving for only a dozen kilometers, Zhou Wang already felt that his old waist was about to break.
On the other hand, Yu Duo, who was standing next to her, became excited, perhaps because she had released her emotions continuously or had adapted to Zhou Wang’s driving pace.
“Ah, this idiot dares to overtake our car, hurry up and overtake them… Yes, yes, Zhou Wang, you are so handsome…”
When they were on Zhonghuan Road, Yu Duo even started to give orders to Zhou Wang.
Looking at Yu Duo who was yelling and even about to jump up from the passenger seat, Zhou Wang’s mouth twitched. He didn’t expect that she had this hidden attribute of being a “road bully”.
But seeing that Yu Duo was in high spirits, Zhou Wang had to give up the idea of taking her to ride in the business car driven by Xiao Wang. He just slightly stepped on the accelerator in order to end the bumpy journey as soon as possible.
Forty or fifty minutes later, after Zhou Wang breathed a sigh of relief, the Porsche 918 finally arrived at its destination.
Following the sign, Zhou Wang passed the ordinary parking lot and drove directly into Disney’s town parking lot, commonly known as the “VIP parking lot.”
It only takes five minutes to walk from this parking lot to the park entrance, but the price of parking here for a day is 240 yuan, which is more than twice as expensive as an ordinary parking lot. The time saved is about 15 minutes.
This is a choice that most ordinary people would not consider, but for the small number of people who don’t care about money, if they can drive directly into Disneyland, they won’t blink an eye even if they spend an extra thousand dollars.
It was at this time that Yu Duo finally realized something when she saw the signs that appeared from time to time on the roadside and a corner of the dreamy building that had already been revealed not far away.
“Is this Disneyland?”
Yu Duo sat up straight and said with some surprise, “We are really here… But Zhou Wang, you are so stupid!”
“how?”
Zhou Wang was stunned.
“Disney closes at 8:30. Didn’t you see that people are all heading outside?”
Yu Duo pointed out the car window and said with a smile, “So you are a big idiot. You brought me here alone… But I don’t blame you. Although the park is closed, there must be other fun things nearby. We can just go and play somewhere else.”
Seeing that Yu Duo started to comfort herself again, Zhou Wang just smiled and said nothing. After parking the car, he took Yu Duo out of the car and walked inside against the flow of people leaving the park.
Zhou Wang’s phone rang at this time. He picked it up and said “hmm” twice, indicating that he was almost there. Yu Duo didn’t know who Zhou Wang was talking to on the phone, but seeing that Zhou Wang was just leading her inside regardless, she thought Zhou Wang was still not giving up, so she thought of accompanying him to the door.
After all, just walking hand in hand with Zhou Wang like this made Yu Duo feel very happy, and she didn’t care that much about where the destination was.
The man and woman walking in the opposite direction attracted many surprised gazes from passers-by. Some kind-hearted people wanted to remind them that the park was closed, but Yu Duo just smiled and waved her hands.
All the way to the park entrance, there are almost no other figures here. Passing the security check entrance and exit, you can see that most areas of the park have become dark, with only emergency lights left, indicating that the entire park is closed.
“See, idiot, we can turn back…”
Before Yu Duo finished speaking, a staff member wearing a work badge suddenly came over quickly. After taking a quick look at Zhou Wang, he smiled and asked:
“Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhou Wangzhou?”
“it’s me.”
“Hello, Mr. Zhou. Our manager is busy coordinating urgent matters, so he is unable to come and greet you in person. I will be responsible for bringing you two into the park… This way, please.”
“OK, thanks.”
Zhou Wang nodded, took the confused Yu Duo by the hand, and followed the staff into the park directly through the VIP channel.
It was not until they stood on the main road of the park that Yu Duo reacted. She looked around in disbelief. Although it was still pitch black, they were indeed standing in Disneyland.
“Zhou Wang, you… me, are we really coming in?”
Yu Duo looked at Zhou Wang blankly, as if she still couldn’t believe this was real.
“of course.”
Zhou Wang smiled and then replied, “From this moment, that is, from nine o’clock in the evening, everything here belongs only to the two of us.”
As Zhou Wang finished speaking, as if it was a movie script, with continuous “click” sounds, all the lights, starting from the street lights on the main road, lit up one by one, extending all the way to the entire park in the distance…
In just a few seconds, this dream world in the darkness was lit up again. The colorful beauty came towards her and reflected in Yu Duo’s dark eyes, making her heart skip a beat.
“Zhou, Zhou Wang…”
