Zongman: The post-2D era
Page 566
Entering the amusement park, Feng Feng and Matou Sakura first came to the shooting house.
The room was dimly lit, with only a few lights focused on the bull’s eye, creating a tense and exciting atmosphere.
Feng Feng picked up the air gun, held his breath, concentrated, pulled the trigger, and the bullet whizzed out, hitting the center of the bull’s eye with a crisp sound.
Sakura Matou clapped and cheered on the side, her eyes full of admiration.
Afterwards, they walked into the Four Elements Theater, where only a few people were in the empty auditorium.
As the curtain slowly opens, the fantastic performance of the four elements of fire, water, wind and earth comes into view. Between the interweaving of light and shadow, it seems as if one is in a high school performance.
The sunlight filtered through the half-open windows of the theater and onto the empty corridor. Feng Feng and Matou Sakura were walking and talking, and their stomachs growled at the same time.
When they arrived at the snack stand in the amusement park, they were attracted by the aroma and their eyes were fixed on the freshly baked croquettes.
The stall owner handed them the golden and crispy croquettes with a smile. Feng Feng took a light bite. The crust crackled, and the inside was soft and warm. The perfect combination of potatoes and minced meat bloomed in his mouth, and his eyes lit up.
Sakura Matou also took a bite, and a surprised smile instantly broke out on her face. The two looked at each other and smiled, as if this simple delicacy had become the sweetest surprise of the day.
Feng Feng and Matou Sakura were immersed in the joy of delicious food, when suddenly, a young lady in a gorgeous uniform and with a smile on her face, Chito Isuzu, walked towards them gracefully, holding two exquisite invitations in her hands.
“You two, our amusement park’s special guest, Princess Latifa, would like to invite you to visit her castle.” Chito Isuzu’s voice was gentle and full of anticipation.
Feng Feng and Matou Sakura looked at each other, curiosity and surprise flashing in their eyes.
Following Chito Isuzu, they passed through the winding path and came to a castle that seemed to have come out of a fairy tale.
The castle gate slowly opened, revealing the bright lights and exquisite decorations inside.
A Snow White named Latifa, dressed in a gorgeous long dress and a dazzling crown, was smiling and waiting for their arrival. The background was a huge magic mirror, reflecting the warm figures of the three people, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Inside the castle, Princess Latifa tightly grasped Feng Feng and Matou Sakura’s hands, her eyes full of pleading:
“You two, the fate of the amusement park is in your hands. There have been few visitors recently and it is facing the risk of closure. I heard that you have extraordinary powers. Can you become our savior?”
Feng Feng was stunned, but Matou Sakura chuckled, gently broke free from the princess’s hand, and said mischievously: “Your Highness, you may have misunderstood. I am just here for a date with Feng Feng today. I don’t have the superpower to save the world.”
After saying that, she blinked and pulled Feng Feng towards the window. The sunlight shone on them, reflecting two carefree shadows, which formed a sharp contrast with the solemn atmosphere in the castle.
Outside the window, the Ferris wheel in the amusement park slowly turns, as if telling an unknown secret.
Princess Latifa’s eyes dimmed instantly, as if the brightest star in the night sky had suddenly gone out.
Seeing this, Matou Sakura felt an inexplicable tenderness in her heart. She stepped forward lightly, placed her fingers gently on the princess’s shoulders, and said with a smile:
“But, Princess, although I’m here for a date with Feng Fengjun, if I can help you with a small favor, such as removing a small curse of yours, I don’t mind lending a hand.”
As she spoke, she winked mischievously and looked at Feng Feng. Although the latter had a confused look on his face, he was also infected by her optimism and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Princess Latifa’s eyes glowed again, as if she saw the dawn of hope. She gently took the hands of the two and led them to a secret room deep in the castle, where an ancient magic mirror was hidden. A strange light flashed in the mirror, as if waiting for a miracle to happen.
As the last trace of strange light in the ancient magic mirror dissipated, a sincere smile bloomed on Princess Latifa’s face. She gratefully held Feng Feng and Matou Sakura’s hands, tears glistening in her eyes.
To celebrate this victory, the four of them went to the Fantasy Restaurant in the amusement park to enjoy a feast. After the meal, the sunset was as red as blood, dyeing the sky into a gorgeous picture.
Feng Feng and Matou Sakura, accompanied by the princess and Sento Isuzu, slowly stepped into the Ferris wheel carriage of the amusement park.
Inside the car, the soft cushions and transparent glass windows provide a clear view of the outside world. As the Ferris wheel slowly rises, the lights of the entire amusement park gradually shrink, like stars dotted on the canvas of the night.
The two of them leaned against each other, looking at the ever-changing scenery outside the window, their hearts filled with unprecedented tranquility and happiness.
As night fell, the lights in the Ferris wheel were dimmed. Feng Feng turned his head slightly, his eyes fell gently on Matou Sakura’s face, and he said apologetically:
“Ying, I’m sorry. Not only am I late today, but I also chose so many problematic places that I couldn’t let you enjoy some quiet time.”
Hearing this, Matou Sakura raised a sly smile. She leaned closer to Feng Feng and whispered, “Well, you have to make up for me on a date tomorrow, and I have to choose the place.”
As she spoke, she blinked, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Feng Feng looked at her playful appearance, his heart warmed, and he nodded with a smile: “Yes, my princess.”
The two looked at each other and smiled. The carriage was filled with sweetness and warmth, as if the whole world had stopped.
After returning home, Feng Feng was forced to tell Li Yi about what happened on today’s date, including his lateness and mistake in choosing the location, as well as Matou Sakura’s cunning request that he make up for it by making up for the date with her tomorrow.
“I want to go on a date too!” Eiry’s words gave Feng Feng a splitting headache.
Chapter 974: The Amusement Park for Three
Sunday, February 27
On the campus network, the final of the Food Wars Contest is being broadcast live.
At the entrance of Gancheng Brilliant Amusement Park, Feng Feng, with a confused look on his face, came here again with Matou Sakura and Eri.
At the entrance of Gancheng Huihuang Amusement Park, neon lights are flashing and laughter is heard everywhere.
Feng Feng gently patted Matou Sakura’s shoulder, with a look of helplessness and doting in his eyes: “Sakura, Eri has been clamoring to come to the amusement park. I’m sorry.”
Matou Sakura smiled slightly and looked gently at Eri who was standing beside her with an expectant look on her face.
“fine……”
Before she finished her words, Eri couldn’t wait to grab the two’s hands and, like a happy little bird, trotted towards the towering roller coaster not far away.
The outline of the roller coaster was outlined by colorful lights, making it look like a dream. With the “boom” sound of the start, the figures of the three people were instantly engulfed in thrill and excitement.
On the carousel, the brilliant lights shone on Eri’s childish face. Her eyes sparkled with the light unique to children, and her laughter was as clear as a silver bell, echoing in this dreamy space.
However, in this carefree happiness, a barely perceptible sense of loneliness crept into the corners of her eyes.
Feng Feng and Matou Sakura stood side by side, watching everything silently.
When the wooden horse slowly stopped, Eri jumped down from her seat. There seemed to be an unspeakable desire hidden in her smile. She looked up at the fireworks in the sky, her eyes showing both nostalgia for the beautiful moment and a yearning for the unknown world in the distance.
“Go play with her. I’m going to see Latifa.”
After being gently pushed by Matou Sakura, Feng Feng staggered and almost lost his balance, but fell into Eri’s expectant eyes.
A dazzling light suddenly shone in Eri’s eyes, as if she had discovered the door to a new world. She held Fengfeng’s hand tightly without hesitation, and her excitement almost made him run away.
“Brother Fengfeng, hurry up! Let’s go explore the haunted house!”
There was unmistakable excitement in her words, and her little hands were cold but strong.
The two of them shuttled through the amusement park, the colorful lights lengthening and shortening their shadows. Eri’s laughter was like a summer breeze, blowing away all the noise and bustle around them, and leading Fengfeng towards the mysterious door of the haunted house.
The sunlight filtered through the sparse leaves in the amusement park, dappled onto the small lunch table, on which lay freshly-baked croquettes, emitting an enticing aroma.
Feng Feng gently cut open the crust, revealing the steaming golden filling.
Eri stared at the tempting food with her eyes fixed, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, revealing two shallow dimples.
She couldn’t wait to pick up a piece and took a careful bite. The outside was crispy and the inside was soft. In an instant, her expression of happiness was beyond words, as if the whole world had become gentle because of this simple delicacy.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes sparkled with satisfaction, and she whispered softly, “Brother Fengfeng, this is the most delicious croquette I have ever eaten!”
Feng Feng smiled, with a gentle light in his eyes, and slowly told Eri the story behind the croquettes:
“This croquette originated in Europe. After being improved by the magic princess chef in the castle, it became the delicacy we taste now. Each layer of crispy crust hides the chefs’ respect for the ingredients and their pursuit of taste.”
“The princess is from…”
Eri was fascinated by what she heard. It seemed as if stars were dancing in her eyes, and she almost jumped up with excitement.
She put down the croquette in her hand, ignoring the crumbs on the corner of her mouth, and rushed towards the amusement park mascots who were swaying to the music not far away, like a happy little deer, shouting as she ran: “I want to be a little messenger of happiness too!”
In the sunshine, her figure was lively and cheerful, as if the whole world became more vivid because of her laughter.
The setting sun poured down like molten gold, dyeing the sky a brilliant orange and red.
Feng Feng and Eri were sitting in the slowly rising Ferris wheel. The whole world seemed to be getting quieter as they rose higher.
Eri leaned back in the soft chair, folded her hands lightly in front of her chest, and looked out the window at the ever-changing scenery with a moved look on her face.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on her face, giving it a soft golden edge. Her bright eyes seemed to be filled with the sea of stars, sparkling with infinite longing for the future and full of happiness at the moment.
As the Ferris wheel slowly reached its highest point, the brilliant lights of the entire amusement park came into view. Eri exclaimed softly, and at that moment, time seemed to freeze, leaving only them and this immortal sunset beauty.
Inside the Ferris wheel, the lights were soft. Eri suddenly turned around and stared at Feng Feng seriously, her big eyes flashing with curiosity and determination.
“Brother Fengfeng, what is the relationship between you and Sister Ying?”
Her voice was gentle, but it carried a seriousness that could not be ignored. Feng Feng was stunned. He did not expect her to ask this and was speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Eri’s face flashed with anxiety, and her hands unconsciously grasped the corners of her clothes, “Brother Fengfeng, I…I don’t want to lose to Sister Ying.”
As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes trembling gently, making her look like an uneasy yet stubborn little deer. Her innocent and stubborn look made people feel pity for her.
Feng Feng gently stroked Eri’s soft hair, his eyes gently swept out the window, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Matou Sakura standing quietly under Mo Tianlun.
The afterglow of the setting sun danced gently on her shoulders, casting a faint golden glow on her figure. She was looking up at the Ferris wheel, her eyes revealing an imperceptible tenderness and expectation.
Feng Feng retracted his gaze and turned to look at Eri, his eyes full of doting: “Eri, everyone is unique, you don’t have to compare yourself with anyone. Look, just like every light under this Ferris wheel, although the light is different, they all embellish the night sky and make it more beautiful.”
His words were gentle yet firm, like a warm spring breeze that blew away the haze in Eri’s heart.
When Eri heard this, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes and an innocent smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. That smile was like the most gorgeous flower in spring, warm and bright.
As the night deepens, the lights in the amusement park are still bright, like a fairy tale world.
Feng Feng gently stroked Eri’s hair. Her smile was like the brightest star in the night sky, warm and bright.
Sakura Matou stood quietly by the side, looking at them tenderly, with a faint smile on her lips, her eyes revealing envy and blessing for this “pure friendship”.
The three of them walked side by side to the exit of the amusement park and waved goodbye to the enthusiastic staff. Their figures were elongated under the colorful lights, leaving behind strings of laughter that echoed in the night sky for a long time.
The gate of the amusement park slowly closed, gently locking this wonderful time inside, and they set out on their journey home with full of memories and reluctance.
Chapter 975: Three Visits to the Amusement Park
Monday, February 28
On the campus network, the live broadcast of the competition in which the final winner of the Food Wars Contest challenges Queen Totsuki attracted much attention.
Feng Feng came alone to the entrance of Gancheng Huihuang Amusement Park.
Feng Feng stood under the brilliant neon lights of Gancheng Glorious Amusement Park, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes penetrating the bustling crowd, his thoughts drifting to the happy time he spent with Eri.
He remembered that Sakura Matou had quietly joined him yesterday, with a gentle yet somewhat mysterious smile.
The picture gradually became clear in my mind – Matou Sakura gently holding Sento Isuzu’s hand and whispering something, and the two people’s figures stretched out under the lights of the carousel, interweaving in an inexplicable harmony.
Feng Feng seemed to be able to hear the soft voice of Matou Sakura, with a hint of imperceptible eagerness, and her words, like a breeze blowing across the lake, stirring up ripples and causing waves in his heart.
