Please! My relationship with the girl group leader is purely platonic.

Chapter 12 Financial Freedom at a Young Age

Kang Woo-jin had never ridden these amusement park rides before, but he could read the signs. There were many people around, and he carefully protected Kim Tae-yeon, following the crowd to a line where no one knew what to do.

The two were quite conspicuous, perhaps because Jiang Youzhen's face was out of place with the people next to him, he was tall, and he was holding two cartoon-shaped headdresses.

"Rabbit or dog, which would you choose?"

"I like dogs, give it to my dog."

The girl seemed to have forgotten her family who had accompanied her to the amusement park. She carefully selected the headdress from Jiang Youzhen's hand. When she took the one she wanted, she looked up at Jiang Youzhen's hair.

Jiang Youzhen held the headdress in his hand and noticed the expectation in the girl's eyes. He subconsciously waved his hand in protest, "I'm not suited for this kind of thing, so I shouldn't wear it."

"Huh? But it's so cute! You're already pretty, this rabbit suits you perfectly."

......

"All right"

Jiang Youzhen resisted for only a few seconds. Seeing the expectation in the girl's smile, no matter how unwilling he was, he immediately softened in that instant.

The two continued to slowly move in the long queue. Ever since he put on the hair accessory, Jiang Youzhen felt like he was sealed off, uncomfortable in every way. But he didn't want to disappoint the girl, so he could only pretend to be nonchalant.

When he started getting more and more stares from around them, he finally couldn't take it anymore and turned to the girl, asking, "Don't you think there are too many people around?"

Upon hearing this, Kim Tae-yeon was taken aback at first, then looked around and found that many people were looking in their direction.

To be precise, all those people's eyes were fixed on Jiang Youzhen.

"It's probably because...they think you're very pretty, that's why they're staring at you."

At thirteen, a time when one can't hide their feelings, the girl spoke frankly and sincerely.

Jiang Youzhen blushed and subconsciously avoided their gazes, feeling a sense of repulsion.

Kim Tae-yeon noticed Kang Woo-jin's subtle movements and scanned him up and down.

Among the boys of the same age as Jiang Youzhen in China, he is indeed the most eye-catching in terms of appearance and height. Moreover, he has dressed up specially today, wearing a light-colored casual suit, and has a gentle and sunny temperament.

The rather formal attire, coupled with the cute headdress, creates a striking contrast.

Under the gaze of these people, the two quickly joined the queue, only to realize when they were almost there that the queue was for the roller coaster.

The girl was timid; she held tightly to the boy's arm as they went up the stairs, her eyes closed. Fortunately, she didn't scream out of fear.

But the others weren't so reserved; they still shouted what they were supposed to shout.

Jiang Youzhen wasn't afraid of any of this. While he was queuing, he heard people screaming, and when he finally got on the bus, he was even more confused.

Is it scary?

If the facilities malfunction, that's really scary.

The roller coaster slowly moved forward and then gradually climbed upward. The equipment was properly adjusted, and the speed was very slow during this section, which made the riders even more nervous.

Especially when it stopped at the highest point, some of the more timid people behind it started to scream.

Kang Woo-jin stared blankly ahead. He and Kim Tae-yeon were sitting in the first row, which had the advantage of being able to avoid the 'saliva' of those people.

But the first row offers a more stimulating visual experience.

Having been exposed to horror and thriller genres since childhood, Jiang Youzhen showed no fear whatsoever. The girl next to him, however, was very nervous and scared, clinging tightly to his arm.

The feeling of weightlessness quickly came over us, accompanied by screams from a large crowd, as the roller coaster plunged down the track at an extremely high speed.

The wind was fierce, but thankfully they took off their overly cute headdresses before they went up.

Jiang Youzhen used his other hand to tidy his hair, then smiled and looked to the side.

Clearly, the girl was different from him; she couldn't remain calm about these thrilling rides. At this moment, she grabbed Jiang Youzhen's arm and, like the others, laughed and screamed at the same time.

The strong wind blew her hair wildly. Jiang Youzhen stared intently at the girl's smile for a long time, until the roller coaster was about to reach its end, before he finally looked away.

After getting off the roller coaster, Kim Tae-yeon's spirits lifted considerably. Kang Woo-jin took her to a nearby food stall, where almost all the snacks sold were things that children love to eat.

Marshmallows, ice cream, and those iced drinks with excessive sugar content.

"Hello, ice cream, one matcha flavor." Kang Woo-jin looked around at the flavors on the Easter eggs, leaned to the side, and asked, "What about Taeyeon? What flavor of ice cream does she want? I recommend the strawberry flavor, how about that?"

"sure"

The girl's tone was cheerful, and she smiled sweetly after taking the ice cream from Jiang Youzhen.

"Thank you, Oppa"

...

This sudden address startled Jiang Youzhen. He scratched his neck and said awkwardly, "I still prefer you to call me Anders."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, we can communicate in plain language; it's more comfortable that way."

Jiang Youzhen took his ice cream, his face still flushed.

Kim Tae-yeon noticed this and covered her mouth to chuckle, as if she had seen something amusing.

There is a small map of the attractions on the back of the ticket, and there are signs throughout the park to tell visitors where they are.

The closest place to the roller coaster is the haunted house, and there are quite a few people queuing there, even more than those queuing for the roller coaster.

However, the girl's gaze wasn't on the haunted house, but rather on the shooting range next to it, where many dolls and souvenirs were displayed, which were very attractive to young people.

After silently finishing his ice cream, Kang Woo-jin noticed the girl's gaze was fixed on them, and then offered to lead her over, "Want to try it?"

"Is that okay?" The girl hesitated for a moment, but then shook her head. "I don't have that much money on me."

"It's okay, I brought it."

Having achieved financial independence at such a young age, Kang Woo-jin doesn't hesitate to spend money at all.

When the stall owner noticed the two people, his eyes widened considerably. He couldn't understand why the young master of the amusement park was playing any games.

Jiang Youzhen took out several large-denomination banknotes from his wallet and handed them to the stall owner, while also taking the special rifle from him.

It's just a toy gun, very light, but as long as it doesn't jam, it's fine.

Having spent these past few years in free America, he didn't just stay at school and home all the time. The shooting range was a must-visit place for him. In New York, that dark and dirty city, you never know when it might come in handy.

After Jiang Youzhen got into position, he attracted the attention of many people around him. Putting aside his marksmanship, his face and figure alone were pleasing to the eye.
