172: Xia Mi's cerebral palsy younger brother! A kiss at the highest point of the Ferris wheel!
Hearing this, Lin Chen became a little curious.
She knew Xia Mi's situation; she was Jormungandr, the king of the earth and mountains.
As a dragon king, he has no parents; if one had to name one, he would only have a father.
That was the supreme being among dragons, Nidhogg the Black King.
From this perspective, Xia Mi's words carry a different weight.
The Black King Nidhogg invited me to his home for dinner. Compared to this kind of invitation, the idea of a treacherous banquet is simply too weak, right?
However, Lin Chen was well aware of Xia Mi's situation. Nidhogg, the Black King, was killed on his throne, and no one in the world knew where his remains were or whether he would ever be resurrected.
If I had to name a family member, Xia Mi does have one.
On the throne of the first generation of dragon kings, each dragon king was a twin.
For example, the King of Bronze and Fire has a bunch of twins on his throne.
The older brother is Norton, and the younger brother is Constantine.
On the throne of the King of Earth and Mountains are a brother and sister.
Sister Jormungandr, brother Fenrir!
Lin Chen definitely wouldn't get to see Nidhogg, the Black King, but he was still somewhat interested in Fenrir.
"Okay!" Lin 07 Chen agreed immediately, "But how did your family find out about me?"
Xia Mi chuckled and said, "I told my family about your situation. I told them that a senior from the college came to the preparatory class to assess us, and he took special care of me. My parents told me to invite you home for dinner."
"Isn't this a bit presumptuous? I don't know anything about your family situation."
“Not at all presumptuous,” Xia Mi said matter-of-factly. “My parents are very nice people, both hospitable and polite. I also have a younger brother, but he’s a bit strange; he’s not very bright.”
Lin Chen pretended to be finding out for the first time: "You have a younger brother."
“Yes!” Xia Mi said, “He and I are twins. I came out first, but my brother got stuck for several minutes. During that time, he was short of oxygen. Although he was born successfully, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy due to prolonged oxygen deprivation, so he has been mentally challenged ever since.”
Lin Chen sighed, "What a pitiful child."
"It's alright." Xia Mi waved her hand. "It's good that he's a bit silly. Just spend more time with him."
Lin Chen nodded: "Okay, I'll pay you a visit when I have time!"
“Why do you say ‘when’? It sounds like a polite excuse to refuse,” Xia Mi said. “Let’s set a time so I can give my family an explanation.”
Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow, then. Your last exam ends tomorrow, and I'll still be in Beicheng the day after tomorrow!"
"Alright! It's a deal then, pinky promise!"
Xia Mi was happy and reached out her hand to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen was amused by Xia Mi; this girl who never grew up was as innocent as a child.
"Okay."
Lin Chen reached out his hand to her, their two little fingers hooked together.
Xia Mi beamed, "Let's go, let's go to the amusement park!"
……
The subway train traveled through underground passageways, taking the two to the nearest amusement park.
As evening fell, the amusement park was lit up with all sorts of colorful lights, the brightest of which was the towering Ferris wheel.
There weren't many people at the amusement park in the evening. After Lin Chen bought the tickets, Xia Mi pulled him and they ran inside.
Xia Mi seemed very happy, and she was very curious about everything around her.
From carousels and bumper cars to giant swings and drop towers, Xia Mi has always been full of interest.
Even in front of the most ferocious roller coaster, Xia Mi showed no fear, dragging Lin Chen to ride it twice, and enjoying it immensely.
The last stop was the Ferris wheel in the center of the amusement park. Xia Mi carried milk tea in one hand and held Lin Chen's hand with the other. Under the guidance of the staff, they sat in the Ferris wheel's spherical observation cabin.
The observation cabin rose slowly along the curved line, and the view gradually widened.
Xia Mi carefully held Lin Chen's hand, looking left and right at the flowing colored lights below.
"That was great!" Xia Mi exclaimed happily. "Today was absolutely fantastic!"
Lin Chen smiled and looked at her: "Is this your first time at an amusement park?"
Xia Mi hesitated and shook her head: "No, but it's been a long time since I've been here. When my younger brother wanted to come when he was little, he couldn't play on many of the rides, so I could only stay with him and watch others have a great time!"
Lin Chen gently patted her head: "Taking care of a younger brother like this must be hard work!"
"It's a bit tough, but it's also a lot of fun." Xia Mi took a sip of milk tea. "Although he's a little slow-witted, he's very well-behaved. The doctor said his mental age is only about five years old. He likes to call me 'sister, sister' all the time. Just buying him snacks or toys makes him very happy!"
Lin Chen nodded: "Then when I visit him, I'll bring him plenty of snacks and toys."
Xia Mi looked at Lin Chen: "He will really like you!"
"Of course," Lin Chen said with a smile, "His sister likes it too!"
Xia Mi stuck out her tongue and turned her gaze to the side.
The observation cabin is almost at its highest point, and the surrounding scenery is now fully visible!
The buildings in the view looked like Lego bricks, and the tourists looked like ants moving among them.
Xia Mi looked up and gazed into the distance, where the city lights were reflected in the glass of the sightseeing cabin.
Xia Mi raised her hand and cheered, "Today was so much fun, Lin Chen, do you know what? As of today, all my wishes have come true. I skipped school and experienced the three most popular dating spots! This is definitely the happiest day of my life. I have no regrets."
But Lin Chen suddenly shook his head: "No, I haven't finished experiencing it yet."
Xia Mi blinked and looked at Lin Chen: "Anything else?"
Lin Chen rested his chin on his fingers: "You said it yourself, these are the three holy places for dates. Since it's a date, it's not enough to just show up at these places and check them off. It has to be a little more romantic."
"I think it's already very romantic!" Xia Mi gestured. "The amusement park, the colorful lights, the dolls, the carousel, and you, senior, are all so romantic!"
Lin Chen looked out the window at the location of the observation deck: "We're almost at the highest point. Do you know what the highest point of the Ferris wheel means?"
"Sounds interesting. What will happen at the highest point?"
“You said before that when the Ferris wheel is rising, it’s a time when no one will disturb you or run away, and boys and girls can do things they wouldn’t normally dare to do during that time.” Lin Chen looked into Xia Mi’s eyes. “I heard that if you kiss at the highest point of the Ferris wheel, you’ll be happy for a lifetime.”
Xia Mi was taken aback; she hadn't expected Lin Chen to say that.
Lin Chen didn't expect to wait for Xia Mi's reaction. In the instant Xia Mi was stunned and thinking, Lin Chen moved closer to her and kissed her lips.
Xia Mi's eyes widened in an instant; she hadn't expected Lin Chen to actually kiss her.
Lin Chen gently stroked Xia Mi's hair and slowly closed his eyes.
Xia Mi tried to push Lin Chen away and reached out to resist, but found that her body went limp and she was powerless to push him away.
At this moment, she just wanted to enjoy the feeling of this moment.
Lin Chen's breath brushed against Xia Mi's cheek, and she instinctively closed her eyes as well.
173: How do you make a baby like this? You might accidentally create a little dragon!
This action lasted for several minutes, and Xia Mi felt that the moment passed by exceptionally long.
When the two opened their eyes and slowly separated, the sightseeing cabin had already descended halfway.
Xia Mi turned her head to the window, looking down as if lost in thought.
Lin Chen sat next to Xia Mi, watching her intently.
Through the reflective glass, Lin Chen saw a blush creeping onto Xia Mi's face.
Although she is the Dragon King, even a dragon, when it is first born, is a child newly arrived in this world.
That's Xia Mi like that.
She created the identity of Xia Mi and began to slowly perceive the world like a child.
She lied to Lin Chen about something: she had never been to the amusement park before.
She had longed to visit this place, but it seemed pointless to go to the amusement park alone.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to get close to Lin Chen, she experienced the joy of the amusement park.
However, she was also trying to understand love for the first time.
She was the Dragon Queen, and her noble status as the first generation of the species destined her to be lonely.
She had her brother Fenrir, who was her only family in the world.
But now Xia Mi is experiencing something different.
“Lin Chen…” Xia Mi said softly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Chen asked, looking at her.
Xia Mi was silent for a moment, then said, "We're almost at the surface."
But Lin Chen suddenly laughed: "Why don't we not get off, and ride around again!"
