Chapter 10: The other self who tore open the cage (short chapter ahead.)

Cheng Zhengyan soon realized where his subtle chills came from.

At the “breakfast” XX cake shop, Xiang Ke ordered a full six-inch cake with thousand layers!

What thousand layer cake means——it’s filled with exquisite and soft crepe, fresh and delicious cut fruits……and fat, fluffy whipped cream!

Whipped cream!

Where the hell did these things go? Cheng Zhengyan watched Xiang Ke with an almost research mentality and wiped off half of the cake hastily. The other party’s arm holding a fork that his wrist bone was so thin that he could not bear to break it —— he actually saw an actor actively eat such things outside the filming period.

It’s even more incredible than the packet of chips Xiang Ke opened and ate up in the car. Speaking of which, how many grams does that bag of potato chips weigh?

Cheng Zhengyan turned his gaze away and looked at the spire house that had become visible in the distance.

Then he heard Xiang Ke call his name. He withdrew his eyes and met those clear, bright eyes that were sparkling with extraordinary delight.

Xiang Ke held a fork and put a piece of golden mango wrapped in snow-white cream. Cheng Zhengyan, who was sitting beside him, watched him eat alone which made him feel embarrassed. “You eat too!”

It can be seen that he relish the process of sharing food.

Cheng Zhengyan’s calm eyes fell on his smiling face and it took him a few seconds to pull out of his thoughts. For some reason, he unconsciously did not want to disappoint the other party so he opened his mouth——

Therefore, by the time he left the cake shop, Cheng Zhengyan’s stomach was already filled with a quarter of the six-inch cake.

Xiang Ke looked particularly happy, full of vitality dancing out of every pore of his body. He briskly put on his mask and hat and stood in front of the store stretching. He said goodbye to the boss who was playing with the coffee beans on the counter like an old friend and happily planning the next place to go.

However, he didn’t seem to be born with having any clue about preparations so he could only desperately dig up the places his girlfriends had mentioned they wanted to go from his lackluster dating experience.

"Let’s go to City A Paradise?”

Cheng Zhengyan wore a black mask, from the time he left Film and Television City, his words became extremely rare. He seems to have no emotion in his deep-sea like eyes; looking as far away as he can, barely looking at Xiang Ke. Yet, those pair of eyes with excitement must be filled with imagination.

He must have thought that it was just an ordinary dating lesson, right? Then apply this knowledge learned from this lesson to fall in love with Gao Tang in the future.

Cheng Zhengyan sometimes doesn’t know what he’s thinking; just like looking at the sky at this moment.

It’s only been more than ten hours since Xiang Ke said that he likes Gao Tang.

But he already felt the other self tearing open the cage and breaking free, still pretending as if nothing had happened, and said to Xiang Ke, “Sure ah.”

City A Paradise is the largest amusement park in City A. On a long-lost sunny day in winter, the number of tourists has also become particularly large. Looking around, they are in pairs, and almost all of them are couples.

But this is Xiang Ke’s first time coming here. He’s too popular that every time he’s in a relationship, he tries his best to avoid the paparazzi. This kind of crowded and noisy occasion is almost forbidden.

Cheng Zhengyan is pretty much the same, but he has been to similar occasions with class activities before his debut and has read numerous works of art. Of course, his understanding was much more thorough than Xiang Ke. As for the amusement park, the most classic sight is nothing more than the merry-go-round and Ferris wheel, the boring and usual places. He can almost imagine what lines Xiang Ke will say with a girl in the future here.

With his hands in his pockets, he still looked thoughtful and disinterested. Until ten minutes later, he was in front of a booth buying grilled squid and watched Xiang Ke eagerly gesticulate³ to the staff, “Boss! A bit more cumin!”

Cheng Zhengyan: "............"

The two skewers of squid were handed over with the sound of sizzling. Cheng Zhengyan didn’t want to take it, but Xiang Ke looked at him with sparkling eyes like he was eating cake……

Thus, in the next hour and a half, he successively ate fried rice cakes, mutton skewers, guoki,* fried dumplings, cold noodles with shredded chicken……

And then hold up until you can sit on a bench with Xiang Ke to rest.

Cheng Zhengyan was in a rare daze, and it was an unprecedented experience for him to eat……

Xiang Ke seemed to realize something and apologized to him in shame. “Isn’t it awfully boring ah?"

But he really doesn’t know what to do on a date. The script is usually written about two people going out together to play and then do something fun. For him, the most fun thing is really eating.

However, every ex-girlfriend has expressed dissatisfaction with this to varying degrees.

Cheng Zhengyan returned to his senses and looked at the couple holding hands not far away. He and Xiang Ke now look as close as they are. “No, it’s actually good.”

Eating together sounds boring, but really doing it seems quite interesting to do. Although it’s a little hard to eat, there’s a sense of fullness in your chest like opening a good script.

Nonetheless, Xiang Ke obviously did not take his answer seriously. Cheng Zhengyan, seeing the other party still looked frustrated that even his sparkling eyes dimmed, took the initiative to speak. “Let’s go on a rollercoaster ride?”


Immersed in the horror of being in a lonely life, Xiang Ke looked up in confusion: “Ah?”

“There.” Cheng Zhengyan raised his hand and pointed to the car flying across the track not far away, and a shrill cry broke through the air. Surprisingly, he felt as if he was starting to get a little interested.

The line for the rollercoaster is very long. The addition of two masks and hats fully armed, still can’t stop the charms emanating from the handsome men making the tourists more and more excited. The crowd pushed Xiang Ke and Cheng Zhengyan closer together.

In the dim light, Xiang Ke secretly peeked at the couple quietly embracing and kissing each other not far away. He immediately turned around and silently sniffed Cheng Zhengyan’s familiar refreshing scent which was still discernible in the crowd.

After smelling it so many times, but this time, he didn’t know why he felt particularly shy. Xiang Ke looked at the legions of couples surrounding him and his ears faintly reddened.

When he secretly looked up at Cheng Zhengyan’s reaction, his eyes crashed into those dark pair of pupils.

The faces of the two were separated by a mask, but Xiang Ke felt for no reason that the other party seemed to smile at this moment.
