Listening to Lu Wuming's explanation, Liu Buli didn't know what kind of expression to put on his face. After all, what the other party said seemed to be correct. This was indeed his own personality and the kind of thing he might say.
However, thinking about flying on a sword, it really didn't seem as cool as in the TV shows.
Liu Buli thought seriously.
Indeed, he was a pragmatist.
But even knowing this, and with the hope that trying it might stimulate his memory, Liu Buli dragged Lu Wuming through all the other thrilling rides in the amusement park.
The conclusion was a bit disheartening.
The rides that used to make him feel a little nervous and excited, making his heart race, now felt like riding a moderately fast car. His expression remained the same from start to finish, utterly bland.
As for the memories he had forgotten, they were not stimulated or activated by these actions. Instead, the date became even more awkward. Liu Buli led Lu Wuming around the amusement park a few times. As the sunset was about to dip below the horizon, he finally took a few deep breaths, decided on a direction, and led Lu Wuming towards a corner of the park.
Just like their usual interactions, today's situation had been like this all along. No matter where Liu Buli wanted to go, as long as he pulled Lu Wuming along, the latter would obediently follow, not even questioning him.
But when the two of them reached a dilapidated small house, Lu Wuming's eyebrows finally furrowed. He reacted with visible discomfort and asked Liu Buli, "Master, are we going into this little house next?"
"Yes, this is the last attraction we haven't tried," Liu Buli said with a smile, teasing. "It's a haunted house. Although it's full of people trying to scare you, isn't there a saying that scaring someone to death is more terrifying? If you feel scared, you can tell me. Absolutely do not lay a hand on the staff inside. I will protect you, understand?"
Liu Buli said this quite cheerfully.
After all, none of the day's plans had gone as he had envisioned. Now that he finally saw a different expression on Lu Wuming's face, he instinctively assumed the other party was scared.
During a date, if his boyfriend was scared, as a man with overflowing boyfriend energy, it was his responsibility and duty to protect him.
Liu Buli thought this, even starting to uncontrollably fantasize about how he would comfort Lu Wuming if he were truly terrified and cowering in his arms, begging for comfort.
However, the things he fantasized about did not happen. Lu Wuming's gaze towards the haunted house was still filled with hesitation and struggle.
But in response to Liu Buli's question, he quickly gave an answer, "I'm not scared, I wouldn't be scared by anything. It's just that the place looks very dirty, and there will probably be cobwebs and things inside. Master, you hate those things the most, so—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Liu Buli forcefully grabbed his hand and pulled him into the haunted house.
The atmosphere had finally reached a good point. If Lu Wuming continued to talk, it would definitely be ruined again.
The entire day's date, from morning until now, had been awkward. Although he had roughly guessed that the last activity would also be awkward, since he had made up his mind, Liu Buli didn't want to change anything.
Of course, the outcome was exactly as he had predicted before entering. If judged purely from a professional standpoint, the haunted house in this amusement park was actually quite well done.
It had a school theme, with modules featuring both vengeful spirits and zombies.
Coupled with the very well-done makeup of the live actors, and the lighting and sound effects that perfectly set the mood, Liu Buli felt that in the past, he would have found it terrifying.
But he was no longer the person he used to be. He had a man by his side who exuded an aura of "I am invincible in this world" at all times. As a result, when he saw the actors in the haunted house, his first reaction was not nervousness or fear. He even had the mood to carefully observe how well their makeup was done. From this perspective, Liu Buli himself felt that he was acting like a villain trying to crash the party.
After coming out of the haunted house, Liu Buli carefully checked himself. As Lu Wuming had said, there was too much dust and cobwebs inside.
However, perhaps because Lu Wuming had been quietly helping him, Liu Buli found that he hadn't gotten any dust on himself. Not only that, but his clothes seemed cleaner than before. The only one who could do such a thing was Lu Wuming and his miraculous cultivation techniques.
Knowing that this was the other party's care for him, Liu Buli felt happy and tacitly chose to accept it.
After all, in his heart, he had already placed Lu Wuming in the position of his boyfriend. Today was their date, and his boyfriend showing him a little care, even if it was contrary to his expectations, was perfectly fine.
To avoid the "minefield" incident of noon, after leaving the amusement park, both of them went back to the supermarket near their home.
Liu Buli bought the ingredients he wanted to eat and took Lu Wuming back home.
Then, Lu Wuming cooked, while Liu Buli watched by the door as usual. With Lu Wuming around, the dinner was naturally made to Liu Buli's liking.
After eating their fill, the two of them sat together and watched television for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Wuming stood up and announced that he was going to take a shower and that it was almost time for bed.
Every night before sleeping, they would take their showers separately. One reason was that the bathroom was very small, and the other was that Liu Buli was too embarrassed. Even if he wanted to, he had never truly seen Lu Wuming naked.
But this time, as soon as Lu Wuming stood up, Liu Buli reached out and grabbed his hand.
Meeting the other party's slightly confused gaze, Liu Buli pursed his lips and chuckled in a low voice, "The date isn't over yet, and you want to leave by yourself?"
