279 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
# Chapter 279: Bumper Cars Three beautiful school idols leading a cute and bashful little sister—this ensemble! As they queued up for ticket inspection, they quickly grabbed the attention of many onlookers. With the overwhelming crowd and curious gazes from people around, Su Qi felt a bit nervous; she was worried about being recognized. But after a while, when no one mentioned the “Flying Princess” title, she relaxed a bit. After queuing for another half hour, the group finally reached the ticket checkpoint. The ticket inspector, a young lady, was momentarily stunned when she saw three stunning school idols accompanied by a little girl with pigtails; their attractiveness was undeniably high! Wang Yun handed over four adult tickets to the inspector. The tickets were genuine without any dealings with scalpers. The inspector, however, was puzzled while examining the fourth ticket. “Are you sure you purchased the right ticket?" she asked Su Qi, confused because, despite being short, Su Qi also had a full-price ticket. Normally, adults paid 280 for entry, whereas children’s tickets were only 160. Hearing the question, Su Qi was momentarily taken aback because ever since she turned 15, she had always used adult tickets due to her height exceeding 160cm. This kind of inquiry hadn’t come up in years! Instinctively tilting her head to the side and pointing at herself with her index finger, she asked, unsure, “Are you talking to me?” The ticket inspector found the gesture unbearably adorable, almost wishing she could abandon her work momentarily to hug this cutie! Upon realizing her appearance seemed much younger due to her casual attire, and that her current height did indeed hover dangerously close to the children’s line, Su Qi hesitated but defiantly stepped onto the height measurement line. The inspector was briefly surprised but then realized the little girl was indeed slightly above the 160 cm mark, and so allowed her to pass with a smile. Once inside the amusement park, Su Qi was immediately captivated by the colorful streets, the bustling crowd, the occasional laughter of children, and costumed characters greeting tourists everywhere. Everything seemed so new and exhilarating to her, her eyes practically beaming with excitement. Why does this place feel so much more fun than the amusement park back in Zhejiang City? Indeed, Su Qi’s present experience was influenced by having turned into a girl; girls are typically more sensitive to bright, vibrant colors. However, swept up in excitement, Su Qi wasn’t pondering these intricacies at that moment. She was eagerly looking around for fun things to try. Wang Zijin and An Ning, watching their husband's youthful excitement and childlike wonder, couldn’t help but smile. It seems making time to accompany Su Qi was definitely the right decision. Wang Yun found the little girl’s wandering gaze amusing too and pulled out a pre-prepared amusement park pamphlet that listed all the attractions. Seeing the colorful leaflet, Su Qi leaned in too. Su City Amusement Park had over 30 diverse attractions. Experiencing them all in a day wasn’t practical, so the four of them pooled their suggestions. They quickly settled on their first activity — bumper cars. An Ning proposed it, and it passed unanimously. Su Qi was a bit surprised, thinking her two wives might not enjoy such a thing since they seemed like the graceful, lady-like school idols. Wouldn’t bumper cars ruin their image? Unknown to Su Qi, although the two were best friends, they were also friendly rivals. Bumper cars, as a stress-relieving amusement park game, brought out their competitive spirit to the fullest. Following the map on the pamphlet, they arrived at the bumper car area. And then Su Qi was overwhelmed by the sea of people and the serpentine queue stretching tens of meters. She estimated it might take around two hours to wait. Just as she was thinking of backing out, An Ning grabbed her husband’s hand. “This way, darling!” Su Qi was about to say it’s unethical to cut in line, but then saw An Ning take out her phone to scan a code and make a payment of 240. Leading her through a smaller entrance with that receipt, Su Qi realized for the first time there was such an option to pay and skip the line. However, spending those 240 units made her heart ache since it was nearly the price of another ticket. After passing through the small entrance, with staff guidance, they maneuvered through various winding paths, turning left and right, through several verifications, and got to a much shorter line. At least it was within reach, much to Su Qi’s relief. After a twenty-minute wait, it was finally their turn! “Keep your eyes open, let me show you my driving skills!” Wang Zijin teasingly told Su Qi before getting into her bumper car. Hearing her gentle wife declare her driving prowess felt oddly strange to Su Qi. However, she too wanted to ram into her two wives to show them her skills! “Ready, 3, 2, 1!” With the staff’s announcement, the bumper cars started moving. Operating them was simple, mainly just steering and the accelerator! Though Su Qi didn’t have a driver’s license nor experience, she could definitely manage pressing the accelerator. She turned the steering wheel left, stepped on the pedal, and her little red car got moving. Having not played bumper cars for a long time, she first let it circle around to warm up before seeking her target. She soon spotted her unwary wife An Ning right in front of her. Remembering the intense invasion she faced from An Ning’s relentless attacks the last night in the dorm, she saw a chance for revenge and pressed hard on the accelerator. Her little red car sped up but unexpectedly veered left, crashing into the wall with a thud. Thankfully, she had her seat belt on, or she would have slammed into the steering wheel due to inertia! Just as she was about to adjust her steering for another sneak attack on An Ning, she felt a powerful impact from behind. Bumper cars hit hardest from the rear! Su Qi let out an involuntary “ouch!” Her reflex to yank the steering wheel around brought her face to face with Wang Zijin, who smiled silently at her, as if to say, “Honey, am I not impressive?” Su Qi couldn’t stand it. Just as she got her car ready to counterattack, Wang Zijin’s bumper car struck once more. This front impact wasn’t as forceful, but just as she prepared her car for retaliation, a significant bump from behind shoved her forward several meters, indicating a strong collision. Turning back, she realized it was Wang Yun’s sneak attack and noticed An Ning approaching from behind. A chaotic free-for-all ensued; the cacophony of colliding cars and joyous shrieks filling the air! When the staff cut the power, all four of them were still wanting more. As Su Qi stepped off her bumper car, she found her legs slightly wobbly. Fortunately, with Wang Yun’s assistance, she avoided a fall. Still, it was great fun. If there was a slightest downside—it would be her two “little bunnies” having been pressed against the steering wheel during collisions, now a tad sore. Seeing her mock rubbing her chest gently, An Ning teasingly offered, “Want me to help you with that, hubby?” Blushing, Su Qi quickly shook her head, her red bow-tied pigtails swaying adorably, drawing attention from nearby mothers who couldn’t help but imagine their daughters being so cute when they grew up!
