Chapter 48: The Vicious Rich Family’s Fake Young Master · 48 Part 2

After the yacht finished its loop and docked, the four disembarked and strolled along the riverbank, heading back toward Su Wenyu’s apartment.

Su Wenyu’s place wasn’t far from here. From the upper floors, you could also see the river view.

About ten minutes later, they reached Su Wenyu’s building and took the elevator up.

“We’re back—” As soon as Su Wenyu entered, he kicked off his shoes, crossed the floor, and flopped onto the sofa.

A whole day of fun—even though Su Wenyu’s spirits had been running high the entire time, he was now so exhausted he didn’t want to move.

Zhou Xu went to the balcony, shook out the bedding, and carried the comforters inside.

“Where are the sheets? I’ll put the duvet covers on,” Zhou Xu asked Su Wenyu.

As the host of the house, how could Su Wenyu let a guest do the duvet covers? He hurriedly scrambled up from the sofa. “I’ll do it.”

Shen Yi took out the clothes that had gotten wet at noon and asked Su Wenyu where he’d put his own change of clothes.

Standing on tiptoes, Su Wenyu had just found the duvet covers in the top cabinet of the walk-in closet. At this, he immediately called out, “Just leave the clothes there! I’ll wash them.”

“You and Zhou Xu handle the sheets. Are your clothes in your bag? Do you mind if I open it to get them?” Xia Yehang poked his head in and asked.

Naturally, Su Wenyu didn’t mind.

So Xia Yehang opened Su Wenyu’s backpack and pulled out the bags containing clothes and shoes.

Since Su Wenyu’s clothes and Shen Yi’s were both light-colored, they put them in the wash together. The rest would wait for the next load.

As for the shoes, only the soles were dirty. Xia Yehang took the opportunity to scrub his own and Su Wenyu’s shoes clean, wrapped them in paper towels, and set them out on the balcony to dry.

When Su Wenyu came out after putting the duvet covers on and saw his clothes already being washed, he was thankful he’d packed his underwear in a separate bag in an inner compartment. He really feared they’d have happily washed his underwear for him too.

Taking advantage of everyone being busy with their own tasks, Su Wenyu quickly retrieved his underwear from the compartment, washed them in the restroom, and hung them in a corner of the balcony.

After he’d tidied everything up, Zhou Xu had already laid out all three floor beds beside the main bed.

Standing in the doorway, Su Wenyu stared at the floor beds arranged around the left, right, and foot of the bed, falling into a moment of silence.

He felt that sleeping in the bed tonight, surrounded by these three like this… felt weird for some reason.

But it was too late to think it was weird now. After washing up, he could only carefully step around the floor beds and obediently climb onto the bed.

Zhou Xu used the remote to set the air conditioning to a comfortable 26 degrees.

By the time everyone had finished their nightly routines, it was past eleven at night.

Su Wenyu lay on his stomach in bed, playing on his phone, watching them play rock-paper-scissors to pick their floor bed spots in order of winning and losing. Once they were all settled on their floor beds, Su Wenyu reached out to the light switch by the headboard. “I’m turning off the lights, okay?”

The three murmured their assent. Click. The lights went out, and the room plunged into darkness.

“It’s getting late, everyone. Let’s get some sleep. We’re going out to have fun again tomorrow,” Su Wenyu said goodnight, placed his phone on the nightstand, and closed his eyes.

Su Wenyu was truly worn out from the day. Coupled with the high spirits he’d maintained the whole time, he fell asleep within minutes of closing his eyes.

Only after hearing Su Wenyu’s soft, even breathing did the other three lie down on their floor beds, pull up the covers, and close their eyes.

Their own sleep came far slower than Su Wenyu’s. This was the first time they’d slept so close to him, in his room. It felt completely different from being in the dormitory.

But soothed by Su Wenyu’s gentle breathing, the three did eventually drift off before midnight.

The next morning, they were woken naturally by the biological clocks the school had drilled into them. But because of yesterday’s exhaustion, Su Wenyu closed his eyes and dozed a bit longer. It wasn’t until eight o’clock that he yawned, stretched, and crawled out of bed.

Zhou Xu and the others had also gotten up, folding their floor beds and leaning them against the wall to clear a path. After all four had washed up, they slung on their backpacks and headed downstairs to find breakfast.

The breakfast place downstairs had baozi, congee, and fried dumplings. After the four finished eating, Su Wenyu asked them where they were going that day.

“To the amusement park. Tickets are already bought,” Zhou Xu said.

Su Wenyu’s eyes lit up—yet again.

The amusement park Su Wenyu had wanted to visit as a child… he finally fulfilled that dream in this world too.

This local amusement park was a super-sized one, quite famous nationwide, with an enormous footprint. Even walking from the parking lot to the entrance gate took a long time.

But because of the National Day holiday, the crowds at the park were also huge.

By around ten in the morning, when they reached the ticket gate, they could already see swarms of people queued up outside.

Luckily, Zhou Xu had bought VIP passes. They could go straight to the VIP entrance, which only required a few minutes of queuing and a quick bag check before they were inside the park.

Su Wenyu looked at the broad, festive street in front of him, bouncing up and down as he urged them to hurry up and go play.

Shen Yi took out a park map and strode over to keep up with Su Wenyu.

“What do you want to do first?” Shen Yi handed the map to Su Wenyu, letting him choose.

The VIP passes Zhou Xu bought included fast-track access to all the rides, so they could use the express lanes and weren’t pressed for time.

Su Wenyu’s eyes immediately landed on the roller coaster. “I want to ride this!”

The roller coaster!!

“Alright.” Shen Yi nodded.

At an intersection, Su Wenyu spotted a vendor selling sausages by the roadside and bought four for everyone to share.

The sausages in the amusement park were expensive, but maybe it was just his imagination, or maybe the happy mood was making everything taste better—he felt the amusement park sausages were way tastier than the ones sold at school.

These crunchy sausages, grilled to a slight blister and glistening with oil, burst with juice when you bit into them. The crunch and flavor were top-tier.

After finishing their sausages, they arrived beneath the roller coaster. They could hear the earth-shattering screams of the riders as the coaster plummeted from high altitude.

Su Wenyu felt like they were several hundred meters away, yet the screams were crystal clear.

Near the roller coaster, many tourists stopped and craned their necks to watch the people on the ride. When they heard the screams, some couldn’t help but laugh out loud—not mocking their courage, just that the yelling was indeed very loud and a bit funny.

“Are you sure you want to ride this? Not afraid of heights?” Zhou Xu asked repeatedly.

Su Wenyu searched the original host’s memories and came to a firm conclusion. “Not afraid of heights.”

But as they walked through the fast-track entrance and queued to board, watching the coaster launch and speed away right before their eyes, Su Wenyu finally felt a flicker of nervousness.

Shen Yi saw his hands gripping the railing and leaned down to reassure him gently, “Don’t be afraid. It’s very safe.”

Su Wenyu nodded randomly. Reassured or not, his heart was still pounding.

When the next coaster pulled in and their turn came up, the four of them were seated in a single row.

Only when it was time to get on did Su Wenyu really feel scared. Refusing to sit on the sides, he took a middle seat, flanked by Xia Yehang and Zhou Xu. Shen Yi, having lost at rock-paper-scissors, regretfully sat on Zhou Xu’s other side.

The staff member reminded them to fasten their seatbelts, then instructed them to pull down the overhead safety restraint.

Su Wenyu mimicked Zhou Xu and the others, reaching up and pulling the safety harness down. His entire upper body and legs were instantly locked in by the device.

A hissing sound followed as all the safety restraints locked tight. The staff member walked from front to back, checking each passenger’s safety gear one by one. Once satisfied, the staff member stood to the side with a smile, speaking into a microphone. “This car is about to depart. All passengers, please hold on tight and sit securely. We wish you a pleasant journey.”

The coaster slowly began to move. Su Wenyu clenched the handles on the safety harness in front of him, his palms unconsciously sweating from nervousness.

“I… I’m suddenly a little scared.” Watching the coaster climb higher and higher, until they could see nothing but sky, Su Wenyu felt dizzy.

He realized he’d made a miscalculation. The original host wasn’t afraid of these things, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t.

Even possessing the original host’s memories, watching the coaster inch slowly toward the peak, Su Wenyu felt his heart had leapt into his throat. It was beating so loudly he suspected others could hear it.

“Don’t be afraid.” Zhou Xu reached out and took his hand. Xia Yehang, catching sight of this, grabbed Su Wenyu’s other hand, unwilling to be left behind.

Both of their palms were very warm, heating Su Wenyu’s small hands, which had gone cold from fear.

When the coaster finally reached the summit and the car leveled out, Su Wenyu saw houses and people shrunk down countless times below. His feet dangled in empty space; one glance down and he saw they were a hundred meters in the air.

“It’s so high!!”

“Holy shit, I want to get off.”

“Getting off now means dying, bro!”

“Woo-hoo—”

Once the coaster stabilized at the top, everyone on board knew what was coming. Nervous shouts erupted.

The section of track holding the coaster slowly tilted downward. The passengers suddenly found themselves facing straight down, practically leaning their entire bodies against the safety harness. This triggered another wave of screams.

Su Wenyu felt his heart was about to leap out of his chest. He screamed along with the other passengers, trying to bolster his courage.

Without any warning, the coaster plummeted. The sudden, absolute weightlessness instantly set off a cacophony of shrieks.

“AAAAAAHHH—”

“Fuckfuckfuckfuck—”

“Ah— mph, mmph mmph mmph.” Su Wenyu only managed a short, sharp yelp before the wind rushing into his mouth made it impossible to breathe, and he clamped his lips shut.

The coaster twisted and turned 360 degrees along the track. Su Wenyu felt like a piece of laundry in a washing machine, his body thrown left and right completely out of his control. The high-speed rush and weightlessness flooded him with dopamine; his brain was so wildly stimulated and excited he felt his temples throbbing.

As the coaster made its final descent, Su Wenyu actually broke free of the hands holding his. Imitating the passengers ahead, he raised both arms high in the air and yelled, “AHHH——”

With that scream, Su Wenyu’s soul—once shackled and bound by illness—finally, truly, broke free.
