Truthfully, the high-end Western food wasn't as good as either of them had imagined. Even after the meal, as Liu Buli stepped out, he patted his stomach, feeling that the food was not as satisfying as what he'd get at a street stall by the entrance.
Lu Wuming's thoughts were naturally not much different from his. After all, unlike Liu Buli, he was an authentic ancient person. He already didn't eat raw or undercooked food, so if he were to feel discomfort now, Liu Buli was sure Lu Wuming would be even worse off.
Thinking of this, Liu Buli couldn't help but find it amusing.
For him, this was the last date he had planned for himself in this life. To have the beginning of the date be so awkward, he couldn't even imagine what else might happen.
However, unlike his many worries, Lu Wuming appeared very calm. After all, things like eating weren't that important to him. Even if the food wasn't to his liking, he wouldn't really care. Instead, what mattered most to him was that he could now hold Liu Buli's hand and stroll down the street together.
This was something he had wanted to do for a long time but never had the chance. Now that this wish could be fulfilled, he was already very content.
Following the essential steps of a date, Liu Buli thought for a moment and then led Lu Wuming to the city's amusement park.
Since Lu Wuming wasn't very familiar with this world, crowded theme parks held no particular significance for him. Liu Buli chose a very ordinary, old-fashioned amusement park. Perhaps because it was too ordinary, there weren't many people queuing up. However, it was good that this was the case, as at least no one would compete with him for the rides he wanted to go on.
"Actually, I've only been to amusement parks a handful of times in my life," Liu Buli explained to Lu Wuming as they entered, holding his hand. "Because my parents passed away when I was young, my relatives who raised me were already finding it difficult to support me, so they definitely wouldn't bring me to places like this. As I got older, I felt it was too lonely to come alone, so even though I thought about it many times, I only came once or twice. And as I expected, it was indeed too lonely when I was by myself."
As he spoke, their clasped hands remained interlocked.
Lu Wuming thought for a moment and said very earnestly to Liu Buli, "If Master wants to go anywhere, just tell me. No matter what kind of place it is, I am willing to accompany you. You are no longer alone."
Liu Buli blinked, not answering his comforting words, but instead, his eyes curved, and he gave the other person a big smile.
Casually pointing to the largest roller coaster in the distance, Liu Buli's voice carried a hint of excitement that he himself didn't realize. He said, "Then I want to ride that, can you go with me?"
He had thought about riding it before, but the roller coaster looked too terrifying. It made three continuous head-down loops. Every time Liu Buli saw it, he instinctively felt that this thing might give him a cerebral hemorrhage.
But now that Lu Wuming was by his side, he wouldn't have those strange thoughts. Instead, he truly wanted to try it. Perhaps on it, he could even hear Lu Wuming scream.
From a certain perspective, it seemed quite interesting.
Liu Buli told himself this in his heart, then looked at Lu Wuming's face with anticipation.
But to his surprise, after staring at the roller coaster for a moment, the other person frowned slightly and asked Liu Buli somewhat strangely, "People just sit in that car and tumble, without doing anything else?"
"What else could they do?" Liu Buli blinked and said, "Don't you think that's scary? There couldn't have been anything like this in ancient times, right?"
Lu Wuming's response was a faint, enigmatic chuckle.
Without giving Liu Buli a chance to question further, Lu Wuming had already taken his hand and walked towards the roller coaster.
As the two approached, Liu Buli clearly heard Lu Wuming chuckle and say, "If Master thinks this is scary, then when we get home tonight, I'll play something scarier for you. It will definitely be more interesting than this."
Liu Buli didn't understand what he meant at first. However, Lu Wuming didn't seem inclined to answer his follow-up questions.
Since he had promised to show him tonight, Liu Buli hesitated for a moment and then gave up on pressing further. At least for now, it was still their date time, and it would be a shame to waste such good time thinking about other things and ruin the atmosphere.
As it was the largest roller coaster, the queue was much longer than at other attractions. The two walked in line for over half an hour before they finally got their wish and boarded the roller coaster.
It wasn't much different from what Liu Buli had imagined. The speed of the roller coaster was indeed fast enough to make one's heart race.
But there were also some aspects that were different from his expectations. For example, Liu Buli had originally thought he would be so nervous and scared that he would scream. But in reality, he not only didn't have that feeling, but he also appeared exceptionally calm.
At least at this moment, he felt as if he understood Lu Wuming's initial statement—
He must have experienced something even more thrilling, which made this roller coaster seem bland.
Recalling the spiritual energy techniques Lu Wuming had shown him before, Liu Buli blinked, pulled Lu Wuming away from the crowd, and then quietly asked him, "Wuming, when I was with you, did I also try flying on a sword? Like in the TV shows?"
In the past few days, Lu Wuming had indeed watched a lot of television with Liu Buli. So he had some memory of the plots from those TV shows.
However, hearing Liu Buli's question, he shook his head without hesitation.
With a slightly helpless smile, Lu Wuming said, "If you want it to be like in the TV shows, it's not impossible. But Master, you yourself said that flying while standing on a sword looked incredibly silly, like skateboarding in the sky. So usually, you liked to widen the sword's body and sit on it, with me holding you from behind, as you found that more comfortable."
