The family in their piggy masks got into a car that had long been ready.
"Let's go; we're off to the amusement park."
Nannan waved her little hands excitedly: "To the amusement park."
Nannan sat in the back seat, and Chu Xuan sat in the front passenger seat.
Chu Xuan had meant to let Nannan sit in the front.
But Nannan had said that Daddy and Mommy should sit together.
Chu Xuan looked through the rearview mirror at Nannan, laughing so happily in the back seat.
It was the happiest Nannan had been in all these years, the most like a child.
Before, whenever she saw Nannan, Nannan was always so obedient and sensible; even the smile on her face was held in check.
Chu Xuan's gaze turned to Zhao Chen in the driver's seat, wearing his piggy mask, and she felt her heart grow quiet.
Around this car followed three more cars.
They were the cars of Zhao Chen's guards.
Whether or not someone had arranged it on purpose, the car Zhao Chen drove had a clear road all the way, without meeting a single red light,
and reached the amusement park.
This amusement park was enormous.
It was the largest amusement park in the whole Fierce Dragon Kingdom, and on Dragon Star.
Some bloggers who did reviews had worked out that the second- through tenth-largest amusement parks on Dragon Star put together were not as large as this Fierce Dragon Amusement Park.
Its total area exceeded thirteen hundred square kilometers.
It held amusement parks of every type:
a water park, an ice-and-snow park, a fairy-tale park, a horror park, an interstellar park, a technology park, an ancient-town park and so on,
units of one kind and another pieced together.
People said that even playing here for a week, you might not get through all of it.
And it was a city that truly never slept.
For the Fierce Dragon Amusement Park was open around the clock!
Many people who came to the Fierce Dragon Kingdom would come to try out the Fierce Dragon Amusement Park.
Children, teenagers and young people listed it as one of their must-visit spots.
"Where does Nannan want to go first?" Once inside the amusement park, Zhao Chen's party switched to the park's transport:
a pig-shaped electric trike, just big enough to hold the three of them.
Nannan looked at the map in her hands, marked with where every park was, and the most popular attractions.
Nannan thought a moment and said, "Then let's go look at the children's park first."
The children's park, as its name suggested, was a park with rather relaxed rides, suited to children under seven or eight.
The prettiest things in it were the carousel and the small Ferris wheel.
Those here were basically all grown-ups bringing little children.
And because today was the special masquerade festival, many of those present were wearing masks of their own.
As for why this was so:
the amusement park had launched an event in which anyone who wore a mask the whole time in the park, without having their face caught by the surveillance devices,
got seventy percent off everything they bought!
Seventy percent off!
With so great a temptation before them, and the mere requirement of wearing a mask,
naturally no one would refuse.
Of course, all of this had been arranged by Zhao Chen in advance.
That way there was no need at all to worry about his and the child's identities being exposed,
and he could still bring the child here to play happily.
As for the cost of the rewards behind it,
this amusement park was owned by the Fierce Dragon Kingdom itself; it was only a matter of earning a little less money.
Compared with his family's happy play, it was nothing at all.
