Du Fei did not immediately answer Liu Shishi, but extended his hand to her.
Liu Shishi, without a second thought, placed her hand in his.
As Du Fei helped Liu Shishi up, he noticed her ankle was red and swollen. He then guided her to a nearby bench to sit down.
"It's fine, your bone isn't injured. I'll give you a massage first."
After helping Liu Shishi sit, Du Fei proceeded to examine her ankle.
Upon careful inspection, he confirmed that Liu Shishi's ankle was only red and swollen, with no bone damage. Du Fei then decided to give her a massage.
"Even though I've experienced your massage techniques before, I still find them incredible."
As the redness and swelling on her ankle visibly subsided and the previous pain completely disappeared, Liu Shishi couldn't help but speak.
Du Fei stood up after the massage and sat next to Liu Shishi. "Is that so? Many people who visit my Chinese medicine clinic say the same thing."
Looking at Du Fei, who was so close, Liu Shishi shyly lowered her head.
After a moment, Liu Shishi said in a low voice, "Du Fei, why didn't you ask me what happened?"
She had been crying so heartbrokenly just moments ago; anyone who witnessed it would have felt compelled to ask what was wrong.
Yet, Du Fei hadn't asked a single question until now.
"If it's something difficult to talk about, asking would make you uncomfortable. If it's something you can talk about, you'll tell me even if I don't ask," Du Fei said, his gaze clear and pure as he looked at Liu Shishi.
Liu Shishi looked up and met Du Fei's eyes.
Then, she voluntarily recounted everything that had happened to her, detail by detail.
After she finished, Liu Shishi felt much lighter.
Truthfully, she had been carrying too much for too long, but these unspoken words were impossible for her to share with anyone else.
If not for the accumulation of events today, pushing her to the brink of breakdown, Liu Shishi would still not have spoken.
But as she began to speak, Liu Shishi suddenly found her emotions improving significantly.
"By the way, Du Fei, are you free now?"
With her mood greatly improved, Liu Shishi suddenly had an idea.
Du Fei nodded without hesitation.
An hour later, Du Fei was brought by Liu Shishi to an amusement park.
"An amusement park? Is this where you wanted to come?"
Du Fei looked at the crowded amusement park before him, then turned to look at Liu Shishi standing beside him.
Liu Shishi smiled and said, "Yes, I haven't been here in years. When I was a child, my parents used to bring me here often."
The amusement park before her was both familiar and strange to Liu Shishi.
Familiar because, when her parents were alive, they had brought her here many times.
Strange because, after her parents passed away and she joined the Liu Group, Liu Shishi had completely dedicated herself to work and had never returned here.
Standing at the entrance of the amusement park at this moment, she felt a sense of having crossed worlds.
"Alright, since we're here, let's go in and have our fill of fun!"
Having promised Liu Shishi, Du Fei would naturally not break his word.
As the two walked into the amusement park side by side, they were immediately immersed in the lively atmosphere.
However, most of the people in the park were parents with their children, or couples lost in their affections. There were hardly any like Du Fei and Liu Shishi.
"Du Fei, let's go on that first."
As soon as they entered the park, Liu Shishi pointed at the Ferris wheel that was slowly turning.
Du Fei bought the tickets, and they joined the queue.
"So happy, we get to ride the Ferris wheel!"
Finally, it was their turn. Liu Shishi quickly stepped into the cabin of the Ferris wheel.
Watching Liu Shishi, who seemed like a little girl, cheering with delight, Du Fei couldn't help but a slight smile creep onto his lips.
The staff member operating the Ferris wheel, after ensuring everyone was seated, pressed the start button.
The Ferris wheel began to turn slowly, and the cabin carrying Du Fei and Liu Shishi gradually ascended.
"When I was little, I loved riding the Ferris wheel with my parents the most. Every time we came to the amusement park, I'd ride it at least four or five times."
As their cabin reached the highest point, Liu Shishi looked out at the scenery, her memories flooding back to her childhood.
Back then, she had lived a carefree life.
Her father was successful in his career, her mother was beautiful and graceful, and they were deeply in love. They doted on Liu Shishi.
Liu Shishi believed that their happy life would continue like this.
However, everything happened so suddenly. Her parents tragically passed away in an accident.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Shishi studied with all her might and worked day and night. In her subconscious, she wanted to numb herself through work, to prevent herself from thinking about other things.
*Hoo.*
Liu Shishi exhaled all her pent-up emotions.
From this day forward, she would no longer numb herself with work. She would truly live her own wonderful life.
She believed this was what her parents in heaven would want her to do.
Liu Shishi looked up at the sky, finding the sky today particularly blue and beautiful.
"What should we play next?" Du Fei asked after they got off the Ferris wheel.
Liu Shishi pointed ahead. "Today, I want to play every ride there is, okay?"
Du Fei nodded seriously.
Following this, Du Fei and Liu Shishi embarked on their amusement park adventure.
"Ah, Du Fei! Turn faster, they're about to crash into us! Hurry, hurry, hurry, go hit them, hahaha!"
"Ah! So exciting! Ahh, this is too high!"
"Du Fei, am I a bit too old for this carousel? I don't care anymore, I want to have fun today."
Liu Shishi was truly enjoying herself, playing every ride with earnestness and laughing heartily.
It took them a good four or five hours, but Du Fei and Liu Shishi managed to play all the rides they could in the amusement park.
"Du Fei, you're actually a sharpshooter! But I can't possibly carry all these dolls."
Liu Shishi looked at the pile of dolls that had accumulated like a small mountain before her, and the crestfallen expression of the shooting gallery owner. She was a bit worried.
However, Du Fei quickly came up with a good solution.
He decided to give a doll to every child passing by.
"See? It's gone in no time. This last one is for you."
Du Fei gave away almost all the dolls, keeping only one to hand to Liu Shishi.
Liu Shishi took the doll from Du Fei. It was a princess wearing a long gown, beautifully dressed, with a crown on her head.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. I hope from now on, you can be as happy and joyful every day as this doll," Du Fei said, pointing at the princess doll in Liu Shishi's hand, which had a sweet smile on its face.
Liu Shishi nodded vigorously. "I will, I definitely will!"
