Chapter 355: Chapter 355: From Grandson to Son
Ticket inspector: “Grandpa, I’m sorry, but you can’t participate in this ride.”
Xiuyuan: “It’s okay, I’m quite fit.”
Ticket inspector: “But you exceed the age limit.”
Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and looked at Han, “My dear, you go ahead and enjoy. Grandpa will wait for you down here.”
It’s just the pendulum ride, he can simply skip it.
After all, his main goal this time is to ride the roller coaster.
Now he knows that people over 60 can’t go on the ride.
Next time for another ride, he’ll just report a younger age.
Han was about to enter with Momo when the ticket inspector quickly stopped them.
She pointed to the panel again — “Below 1.4 meters and above 1.95 meters… restricted for this ride…”
Ticket inspector gently asked: “Kids, how tall are you? Come here and let’s measure you, okay?”
Momo walked to the height measuring wall, stood straight, and with a height of 1.41 meters, met the ride requirements.
Han also hopped over cheerfully.
The ticket inspector looked carefully: “1.38 meters, little friend, you can’t go on this ride.”
Han tiptoed reluctantly.
The ticket inspector chuckled and patted his head.
Huo Tingdong and Lin Qi came over, and Han rushed towards them crying, “Wah,” utterly heartbroken, “Han is only 1.38 meters tall, I can’t go on the pendulum ride… Why is Momo 3 centimeters taller than me!”
Lin Qi: “It’s okay, Han, shall we go on another ride?”
Tingdong asked: “Momo, do you want to go?”
Momo nodded: “Daddy, come with me.”
The ride has a height limit of 1.95 meters, Daddy is 1.92 meters, so he should be able to go.
Tingdong: “Do we need to queue?”
Momo: “Grandpa bought the all-access passes.”
Tingdong turned to Xiuyuan.
Reluctantly, Xiuyuan handed over the all-access pass.
Tingdong took the pass and walked in holding Momo’s hand.
Xiuyuan and Han watched eagerly sitting on the bench waiting for them.
Lin Qi looked at the two miserable faces, wanting to laugh yet had to hold it back.
Soon, Tingdong and Momo finished the ride and came down.
The pendulum ride was thrilling, Momo’s adrenaline soared, and he got excited, “The pendulum ride is so fun, I want to go again.”
Xiuyuan immediately stood up, thumbs up: “True to my great-grandson! You’ve got Grandpa’s spirit! So brave!”
Han enviously said: “I want to play too…”
Momo unsympathetically remarked: “Who told you to be 3 centimeters short? If you exercised more, you’d grow taller.”
Xiuyuan patted Han’s head: “My dear, don’t be sad, let’s go on the roller coaster. I just checked the map, and kids over 1.32 meters can go on it!”
Han perked up: “Grandpa, let’s go on the roller coaster!”
“Sure!”
Xiuyuan grabbed his hand and hurried towards the roller coaster, so swiftly he even forgot his cane.
Momo frowned, grabbed the cane, and followed.
Lin Qi sighed helplessly and together with Tingdong, followed them.
Just as they reached the roller coaster entrance, unsurprisingly, Xiuyuan was stopped by the ticket inspector again: “Grandpa, how old are you?”
Xiuyuan: “I’m 59 years old.”
Ticket inspector was amazed: “You are only 59 years old?”
Lying, right?!
This old man looks like he’s in his seventies or eighties!
Ji Xiuyuan said, “Don’t be fooled by my looks, I’m only 59 years old.”
The ticket inspector didn’t believe him and was about to question further when Huo Tingdong walked over, and Ji Xiuyuan immediately grabbed him, “This is my son! If you don’t believe me, ask him, I’m just 59.”
Huo Tingdong: “…???”
Didn’t he just call him grandson?
Now he’s pretending to be his dad!?
The ticket inspector looked at Huo Tingdong, clearly unconvinced, “Is this really your dad? Is he really just 59 years old?”
Ji Xiuyuan instantly turned his gaze to Huo Tingdong.
Huo Tingdong grimly held back, and said with a poker face, “Yes, he looks old, but he’s indeed just 59.”
Hearing this, the ticket inspector finally let them through.
Ji Xiuyuan picked up Han, held Momo’s hand, and ran straight to the front row of the roller coaster.
Huo Tingdong stayed behind to accompany Lin Qi.
Lin Qi couldn’t go on any thrilling rides because she was pregnant.
A batch of visitors started entering.
As they were choosing their seats, they watched in disbelief as an old grandpa with white hair and beard, holding two little toddlers, took the first row.
Everyone was shocked.
This was the top roller coaster in the country!
For someone so old to ride such an extreme ride, is that really okay?
This is way too exaggerated!
They were genuinely afraid that this old grandpa might get so scared from a single ride on the roller coaster that he might keel over then and there.
Lin Qi pursed her lips, “emmmm” for quite a while, “Ji Xiuyuan’s disguise is just unbelievable, with so many people around, no one saw through it.”
Huo Tingdong said, “I heard he got up early in the morning and hired a special effects artist to do his makeup.”
Lin Qi: “To come to an amusement park, he really went all out.”
Huo Tingdong said, “He just likes playing these thrilling yet childish rides.”
Lin Qi: “Isn’t that great? It’s said that men are boys until their death.”
So, she was really curious as to how a mature and steady person like Huo Tingdong could have a friend like Ji Xiuyuan, who seemed like a child who never grew up.
Huo Tingdong said, “He’s been overprotected since childhood.”
The Ji Family used to be a prestigious clan, and although they fell into hard times a few years ago, Ji Xiuyuan has been well protected and thrived in the entertainment industry without facing any setbacks, hence, his childlike nature.
The roller coaster started moving slowly.
After a long upward track, reaching the highest point, the speed increased, and it plunged down at a 90-degree angle.
“Wow——!!”
The row of passengers on the ride let out cries of horror, excitement, and thrill.
Lin Qi couldn’t help but worry, “This ride seems really thrilling, will Han be scared?”
Huo Tingdong said, “He wanted to ride it himself.”
The ride reached speeds up to 126 kilometers per hour, with 5G force acceleration and 14 360-degree inner loop corkscrew turns, and the seats themselves also rotated 360 degrees.
A minute later.
The roller coaster returned to the starting track.
Han was quite frightened, but Momo coped quite well.
They turned their heads, looking towards Ji Xiuyuan, and suddenly noticed, his beard had been blown away, and was nowhere to be seen.
Han pointed at Ji Xiuyuan’s bare mouth, “Your beard flew off.”
Ji Xiuyuan touched his chin.
His beard was gone!
With a chunk of his beard gone, exposing his smooth skin, it looked rather odd.
Ji Xiuyuan said, “Forget about it! No one will recognize me anyway.”
Just a chunk of a beard gone!
