Shen Xingchen took a long time to calm down, then asked, “Suisui, don’t scare me, shouldn’t there be no ghosts in this world?

“Ah?” Shen Xingsui only then reacted, then lightly laughed and said, “Well, yes, ghosts not existing is also quite good.”    

Wen Shengge asked, not sure of himself. He stood next to Shen Xingchen, and had already stabilized his mood. He took a bottle of water and unscrewed the cap while saying, “Yes, yes, there’s no ghosts. But if ghosts do exist, then it’s really good also? It means that our dead relatives did not really leave, but stayed by our side in another way.”

Shen Xingchen disagreed, “What’s the use of being a ghost, who are both invisible and intangible? I think it’s better to be reborn instead.” 

Shen Xingsui next to him paused, his eyes fell on his elder brother with a deep meaning, and he smiled lightly, “You are so afraid of ghosts, if you are really reborn, then it must scare you to death.” 

“No way!” Shen Xingchen reacted quickly. He leaned over and took a sip of the half bottle of water left in Shen Xingsui’s hand, then slung his arm over the youth’s shoulder, smiling brightly, “I’ll be happy, since that means I can meet my family again.” 

Wen Shengge complained to him, “If there is such a good thing about bringing the dead back to life, why should it be you?” 

Shen Xingchen made a face at him, “Why can’t it be me who got reborn? I’m willing to exchange some things for that chance!”

After saying this, Teacher Tuya came over curiously and said, “Then what will you exchange?” 

“My handsome face? No, no, my pocket money? No, no.” Shen Xingchen muttered a few words to himself, then clapped his hands and said, “Oh, I can exchange my fate of being a popular idol into an ordinary handsome man in the entertainment circle!” 

Wen Shengge thought this answer was hilarious. “Aren’t you greedy? You still want to be handsome and well-known!”

Shen Xingsui’s eyelashes trembled slightly, he first slightly pursed his lips and smiled, then looked at Shen Xingchen’s flushed1in excitement btw face. 

They joked and bantered. Then, Tuya finally came to her senses and said, “Go ask the staff if they have an invitation letter? We didn’t get one from the river boat ride before.” 

Only then did everyone realize the important point – their mission.

They trotted to the staff to ask about the invitation letter, to which the staff replied, “Do you have the invitation letter?” 

Everyone was smiling, and before they had time to be happy, they heard the staff say, “This is the invitation letter in our hand. However, this letter is only for the warrior. The Fantasy Kingdom warmly welcomes the arrival of the brave man for their annual ball, so this invitation letter will be given to the bravest person.” 

Everyone was stunned.

The staff took out a bright red sword medal and put it on for Shen Xingsui, saying, “This is your invitation letter, please come to our ball tomorrow.” 

Shen Xingsui was also surprised, “So this is for me only?”

The staff smiled and answered, “Of course.”

When everyone saw that Shen Xingsui had received the invitation letter, they all regretted it, because they were too cowardly in the haunted house just now.

Wen Shengge suggested, “Then if we enter the haunted house together again, can we still have an invitation letter?”

Shen Xingchen said decisively, “Go alone, I won’t follow you.” 

“For each venue, there’s only one letter each,” The staff kindly reminded them, “There are many different rides in the park, please explore to your heart’s content.” 

–There’s other opportunities. 

Now everyone relaxed a little. Of these two groups, only Shen Xingsui got the letter.

Meanwhile, with other groups:

Fu Jinxiao and Teacher Li, Xu Qinke and Feng Fan just came down from the pirate ship area. Feng Fan vomited as soon as he came down, and Xu Qinke beside him was also pale.

Fu Jinxiao took a bottle of water and sipped it, and helped Teacher Li next to him to calm down.

Teacher Li gasped and said, “Too, too exciting…”

Fu Jinxiao saw that he was fine, so he went to the staff next to him and asked, “Hi, do you have an invitation letter?” 

“Yes.” The staff replied, “The amusement facility just now mainly tested the flexibility and physical strength of the guests. We will issue invitation letters for the ball only to the smartest guest. Please accept this medal.” 

The staff brought up a green bookmark medal and respectfully put it on for Fu Jinxiao.

Teacher Li at the back complained, “So the not-smart people can’t be invited to the ball?” 

It’s already close to lunch time, and everyone was hungry even if they wanted to explore. This amusement park was very big, and there was a long distance between each ride. It’s quite the coincidence for these two groups to have met. 

Xu Qinke suggested. “Let’s go find a place to eat.”

Teacher Li nodded, “I agree.”

Since everyone has no objections, they naturally went together. They found a chain fast food restaurant and bought a hamburger and fries combo. It’s particularly oily and high-fat, so both Teacher Li and Fu Jinxiao declined, citing health-related reasons. 

Teacher Li said, “There seems to be a chicken and rice store next to this one, let’s eat that.”

Fu Jinxiao nodded, and just as the man was about to walk away, the door of the fast food restaurant suddenly caught his attention. The door was actually nothing unusual at first. But what peculiar was the rack next to the door — on the rack, there were figurines of each guest, alongside a poster announcing this reality show. 

On top of that, the staff here must be particularly detail-oriented. They actually put Fu Jinxiao and Shen Xingsui’s chibi figurines together, and there were also small cartoon toys for sale.

Teacher Li followed Fu Jinxiao’s gaze and also saw it. “It should be a collaboration between the crew and the amusement park. This is very cute, and I know that children will like these…” 

When Fu Jinxiao walked over, several children were playing around, each holding some type of merchandise. The man squatted down and smiled and said, “Kids, where did you get these folding fans and the figurines from?” 

The children answered by pointing at the hamburger restaurant. 

Fu Jinxiao came back satisfied after getting the answer.    

Teacher Li asked curiously, “What did you ask them? Aren’t we going to eat chicken and rice?”

Fu Jinxiao changed his previous attitude, opened the door and walked in slowly, and said, “It’s good to change the taste once in a while.”

Teacher Li: “??”

‘This is different from what you said.’

After the two of them went in, of course Xu Qinke and Feng Fan followed in. After seeing Fu Jinxiao and Teacher Li were ordering food, they came over to say hello enthusiastically.

Fu Jinxiao waved to them, “Come.”

The two leaned over and looked at the senior curiously.

Fu Jinxiao pointed to the set menus above and said, “Go order, I’ll treat you.”

The two were flattered and grateful for the senior’s care. They originally wanted to eat other things, but it was so rare for Fu Jinxiao to treat them. So they quickly ordered two portions. “Thank you, we are so grateful.” 

The corner of Fu Jinxiao’s mouth curled into a smile. “No need.”

The audience, who finally understood Fu Jinxiao’s hidden meaning, commented: 

[Really, no need to thank him! He’s not treating you because he wants to take care of you.]

[He just wants to collect figurines.]

[Hahahahaha, eat hamburgers to collect figurines.]

[Teacher Fu is full of surprises!] 

Nearing nightime, all groups finished their mission. At the end, they watched a festive parade, which was very colorful and beautiful. 

By chance, Teacher Tuya was picked as a lucky guest and invited to dance as a princess, and there she got an invitation. 

On the way back, Shen Xingsui and the others met two other groups.

Everyone was as excited as if they hadn’t seen each other for months. Shen Xingsui walked up to Fu Jinxiao, like a kid who came home from kindergarten to show off his achievements to his parents. “Look, I got the Medal of Bravery.”

Fu Jinxiao bowed his head, his eyes looked very gentle. “Mn. Very good.”

“Hehe,” Shen Xingsui couldn’t control his little pride, and bowed his head in embarrassment after being praised, “It’s just lucky.”

As the dusk settled, the sunset dyed the sky a gentle and beautiful orange color. In the park, children’s happy laughter and childlike background music filled the silence, as the parade was closed by the release of several colorful balloons into the night sky. 

Shen Xingsui seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly said, “Guess what else I got?”

Fu Jinxiao asked, “What is it?”

“Dangdang!“2drumroll sfx basically Shen Xingsui suddenly took out a chibi figurine from his pocket, and smiled very brightly, “Look, it’s your toy figurine, I bought it at a fast food restaurant, isn’t he cute?”

It was a keychain – chibified Fu Jinxiao is a suit. 

Fu Jinxiao glanced at him, a smile flashed across his handsome face, he nodded slowly and said, “It’s okay.”

Shen Xingsui was not happy, and was a little bit miffed by the actor’s mild reaction. He snorted softly and said, “It’s just okay? It’s obviously very good. It’s cute, and you don’t know how difficult it is to buy. Not every set meal comes with it. My Erge and I ate two portions and didn’t get yours. In the end, someone else got it and gave it to me. Oh, also also– that store not only has keychains but also folding fans and medals, unfortunately I can’t eat so many, so I haven’t collected them all…”

Fu Jinxiao patiently listened to the youth’s passionate rant. In response, he replied in a steady and slow tone, “If you haven’t collected everything, then let it be. Sometimes regret is also a kind of beauty. Cherish what you have now, and don’t compare yourself too much…”

Shen Xingsui was educated. Just when he was about to nod, suddenly, a pair of children ran to them from behind – they should be the crowd-goers who were enjoying the parade just now, followed closely by their mother. When they saw the two of them, they pointed to Fu Jinxiao in surprise and said, “Ah! It’s that gege from lunch!”

“It’s not polite to point at people, dear!”

“But, that gege traded my keychain for an ice cream,”  The child’s voice was very clear, “He also traded my jiejie’s folding fan.”

Shen Xingsui turned to look at Fu Jinxiao with wide eyes, full of disbelief.

Another child also said eagerly, “Yes, yes, yes! Gege has collected a lot of keychains and stickers in his hand!” 

She continued eagerly, as if the scene of Fu Jinxiao’s social death wasn’t prolonged enough. “Gege! Thank you for treating us to ice creams!!”

“…”

Without much talk, the children and their mother left, blending into the crowd. 

After Fu Jinxiao looked away, he met Shen Xingsui’s dangerous smile. The young man looked at him and said, “Don’t compare yourself too much, huh?”
