OFR – Chapter 269 Relationship

Although this move caused quite a few complaints from the visitors,
most people stopped grumbling after a few sentences.

After all, most understood that protecting user privacy was a beneficial measure for everyone at the park.

As the crowds gradually returned to their cheerful state of mind,
the luxury bus carrying Mu Bai, Mu Xiaoxiao, Zhou Xiaoyu, Liu Feier, and the others slowly entered the amusement park.

Before Yun Xiaokun could begin his introductions, the mischievous Zhou Xiaoyu happily pulled Mu Xiaoxiao off the bus.

They began shedding their goddess personas to experience the thrill and fun of the rides like carefree twenty-year-old girls.

Hongyang Happy World Amusement Park is the largest indoor-outdoor carnival-themed park in the country, covering over 100,000 square meters.

It features over 30 state-of-the-art attractions, including Nanjing’s new landmark — the 116-meter-tall Star of Hongyang Ferris wheel, China’s only indoor-outdoor motorcycle roller coaster, a deluxe double-decker carousel, a log flume ride, a hurricane swing chair, and many more.

Thanks to these world-class attractions, Hongyang Happy World has become the go-to destination for family outings, friend gatherings, and romantic dates.

Thousands visit every day, with per capita spending often exceeding several hundred yuan.

Daily revenues regularly exceed one million yuan, making it one of the most prestigious amusement parks in China.

Inside the park, Mu Bai first listened to Yun Xiaokun briefly introduce the park’s popular attractions.

After a few polite exchanges, he was quickly dragged away by Mu Xiaoxiao and the others to try out many of the rides they’d only ever seen in TV dramas before.

Like most people, their first choice was the high-adrenaline rides.

They started with the Extreme Windmill and Log Flume.

But afterward, Zhou Xiaoyu — who had been the most excited — turned pale with fright.

Everyone chuckled softly.

Clearly, Zhou Xiaoyu was just a “veteran driver” in words — deep down, she was still a delicate girl.

Finally, the gentle and beautiful Liu Feier comforted her like an older sister, helping Zhou Xiaoyu gradually recover.

To mask her fear, Zhou Xiaoyu then took the initiative to lead the group toward more relaxing attractions like the Flying Theater and the 4D Cinema.

Since most visitors to those attractions were couples, the films shown were mostly romantic dramas — including several starring Zhou Xiaoyu, Liu Feier, and Li Shishi themselves.

As they sat in the Flying Theater, experiencing the immersive 4D effects, they couldn’t help but laugh.

Zhou Xiaoyu teased Liu Feier in a mock-jealous tone, saying:

“Whoa, Feier, you and Guo Futian were really into that kiss scene! That wasn’t a body double, right? Ugh, my heart hurts — I’ve never even kissed you!”

Liu Feier, having just comforted her earlier, couldn’t help but respond helplessly:

“Xiaoyu, can you just enjoy this peaceful moment? That kiss was filmed using perspective tricks, you know that.”

“Exactly,” chimed in Liu Yan, dressed in a sexy qipao. “But speaking of that, Xiaoyu, you little rascal — how many advantages did you sneak from that newbie actress while filming Soulmates?”

“Hmph! The script called for those scenes,” Zhou Xiaoyu pouted. “Besides, you’re one to talk! I may be a rascal, but you’re a seductress — how many innocent fanboys have you enchanted?”

“Ah, you guys…”

Li Shishi, ever elegant, shook her head and laughed.

The goddesses of the entertainment world chatted softly,
sitting in their motion seats, swaying slightly as they immersed themselves in the expansive cinematic experience.

Mu Bai and Mu Xiaoxiao, seated nearby, quietly watched the hyper-realistic screen.

They savored this rare moment of calm.

As the film played, they quietly reminisced about their childhood — innocent, carefree memories gradually resurfacing.

Mu Bai felt a sudden jolt of emotion.

Ever since acquiring the Godly Tycoon System and having his identity encrypted,
his past life had begun to fade not only from others’ memories, but even from his own.

Apparently, the system’s memory suppression wasn’t just targeted outward — it affected him too.

And yet, Mu Xiaoxiao had retained these memories with crystal clarity — even under the system’s influence.

That alone showed how deeply rooted her childhood feelings for him were.

Thinking of this, Mu Bai felt a rare stir in his heart.

He realized that from the moment he got the system, it had been shaping him — molding him into a dominant figure in this money-and-power-driven world.

Every time he crushed an opponent with overwhelming dominance,
his mindset shifted — from an ordinary Nanjing teenager to someone with the calm pride of royalty, like Nalan Yunshao.

But that very transformation made his heart increasingly difficult to move — especially when it came to emotions.

Yet now… he was moved.

And that meant something real.

Mu Bai wasn’t a saint. He had desires like anyone else.

With his current power and status, if he just wanted to satisfy physical needs, even A-list goddesses like Liu Feier and Zhou Xiaoyu could be his for the asking.

But maybe it was the constant barrage of system tasks over the past two months that left him no time to consider romance.

Or maybe — deep down — he simply didn’t want to become a “scumbag,” drifting through life abusing his system’s power.

It wasn’t about being pretentious.

He just didn’t want to live a life ruled by lust.

What he wanted was natural, mutual affection — love that happened because it should, not because he could.

Just like now.

Mu Xiaoxiao’s presence had, unintentionally, reached a place in his heart no one else had.

There will always be countless people in one’s life.

But if you become the kind of man who treats relationships casually,
you’ll never have someone truly walk through life with you — because you never truly gave your heart to anyone.

That was Mu Bai’s view on love.

Whether it would change in the future, he didn’t know.

But for now, this was what he believed.

At that moment, Mu Xiaoxiao noticed his sudden silence.

Concerned, she removed her 3D glasses and turned to look at him — only to find that the face she had admired for over a decade was already quietly looking back at her.

For some reason, her breath quickened.
