Chasing His Ex: The Tycoon's Hidden Twins

Chapter 344: Chapter 214: Major Breakthrough in the Relationship

Jiang Sifan reassured her, "Don’t worry, I’ll be with you. If you get scared, just grab onto me, like you did in the haunted house."

Hearing this, Wen Wan felt her heart begin to settle.

"Th-then... okay." She looked up at him and finally nodded.

The two of them walked over to the roller coaster.

The line was long, and it moved forward slowly.

Wen Wan’s face grew paler and paler as she watched the people ahead of them scream when they got on, their expressions contorting as the coaster roared past.

Her palms began to sweat, and her breathing grew ragged.

In truth, Jiang Sifan was scared too. He could feel his own legs starting to go weak.

But he couldn’t let Wen Wan see it.

He feigned composure and said, "Don’t be scared. Just close your eyes. It’ll be over before you know it."

Wen Wan nodded, but her fists clenched even tighter.

Finally, it was their turn.

They got into the roller coaster car, and an attendant helped them secure the safety harnesses.

The metal harness clicked into place over their shoulders, tight and constricting.

Wen Wan sat beside Jiang Sifan, her hand gripping the safety bar so tightly her knuckles turned white.

Her lips were pressed into a thin line, and she didn’t dare open her eyes.

Jiang Sifan looked at her and said softly, "Don’t be scared. I’m here."

Wen Wan turned to look at him, the rims of her eyes a little red.

Her gaze was filled with fear, but also with trust.

The roller coaster began its slow ascent.

The sound of the wheels grinding against the track—CREAK, CREAK—was enough to make one’s hair stand on end.

As they climbed higher and higher, the scenery below shrank, and the people looked like ants.

Wen Wan closed her eyes, not daring to look down.

Truthfully, Jiang Sifan was scared to death himself. He felt like his heart was about to leap out of his chest.

But he still reached out and gently took Wen Wan’s hand.

Wen Wan’s hand was ice-cold and trembling slightly.

Startled, Wen Wan opened her eyes and looked at him.

Jiang Sifan smiled reassuringly. "Don’t be scared. I’m with you."

Wen Wan looked at him, nodded, then gently squeezed his hand back, her grip firm.

The coaster reached the apex of the climb and paused for a second.

That second felt incredibly long. All they could hear was the wind and the thumping of their own hearts.

Then, it plunged.

"Aaaah!" Wen Wan couldn’t help but scream, her voice swallowed by the howling wind.

Her eyes were squeezed shut, her entire body thrown back against the seat.

Jiang Sifan was scared out of his mind, too. He felt like his soul was about to fly right out of his body.

But he never let go of Wen Wan’s hand, holding it tight.

The coaster shot through the air, diving one moment, rolling the next, then spinning.

The wind cut against their faces like a knife. They couldn’t see anything clearly—only the dizzying sensation of the world spinning around them.

Wen Wan kept her eyes shut the entire time, gripping Jiang Sifan’s hand for dear life.

She screamed until her voice was raw.

Jiang Sifan endured the pain of her grip and never let go.

He was scared too, but holding her hand, it somehow didn’t seem so bad.

After what felt like an eternity, the roller coaster finally slowed to a stop.

Wen Wan opened her eyes, gasping for breath.

Her face was ashen, her hair a complete mess.

Her whole body felt like jelly.

It felt almost like the aftermath of an intimate encounter.

She then realized she was still clutching Jiang Sifan’s hand, her nails having dug deep marks into his skin.

She hastily let go, her face flushing red as she apologized, "S-sorry, Class President... Did I... did I hurt you...?"

Jiang Sifan flexed his hand, which she had squeezed red, and smiled. "Why are you sorry? You were scared. That’s perfectly normal."

Wen Wan looked down. "I-I’m so useless..."

"It’s my job to protect you. As long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters," Jiang Sifan said with a smile.

Wen Wan’s heart was touched.

Growing up, no one had ever said anything like that to her.

No one had ever said they would protect her. No one had ever told her that as long as she was okay, that was all that mattered.

She looked up at Jiang Sifan, blushing. "Thank... thank you, Class President."

Seeing her touched expression, Jiang Sifan’s heart suddenly ached for her.

He reached out and gently patted her head. "Silly girl. You don’t have to be so formal with me."

His touch made her face turn an even deeper shade of red, but inside, she felt a sweetness as if she had just eaten honey.

...

After getting off the roller coaster, both of them had wobbly legs for a while.

They had to hold onto a railing for a good while before they recovered.

They glanced at each other and broke into embarrassed smiles.

Blushing, Wen Wan asked, "Class President, were you scared just now?"

Jiang Sifan chuckled. "Scared? I was scared to death. But holding your hand... it didn’t seem so bad."

Hearing this, Wen Wan’s heart skipped a beat.

She lowered her head, but couldn’t suppress a shy smile.

The afternoon flew by, and the sun began to set.

Jiang Sifan glanced at the Ferris wheel in the distance. The giant wheel gleamed in the sunset as it slowly turned.

He said to Wen Wan, "For our last stop, let’s go on the Ferris wheel."

Wen Wan followed his gaze, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

She asked quietly, "Class President, have you ever been on a Ferris wheel?"

"No," Jiang Sifan said, shaking his head.

’The last time he came with He Lingyi, they had run into Xu Junjie, which wasted some time, so he and He Lingyi never got to ride it.’

He added, "So this will be my first time, too."

Wen Wan’s heart suddenly swelled with happiness.

’It was the first time for both her and the Class President.’

’And his first time was with her.’

The two of them then headed for the Ferris wheel.

The line was long, filled mostly with couples.

Some were holding hands, others had their arms around each other’s waists, and some were even feeding each other ice cream.

Watching the couples, Wen Wan felt her cheeks flush.
