RBCT Chapter 42: Mercury
Chapter 42: Mercury
After playing around for a while, the two headed towards Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Of course, the two also made sure to experience some thrilling activities along the way.
The two were thoroughly enjoying their happy moment, while tourists passed by, and couples walking side by side smiled, a sight to behold.
There are actually quite a few attractions inside, with a variety of activities that attract all kinds of tourists from different perspectives.
From rock-and-roll roller coasters to the Tower of Terror, and then to Star Trek, Toy Story…
And Indiana Jones stunt shows, Beauty and the Beast stage play…
Everything revolved around a group of tourists from all over the world, and at that moment, Mencius seemed to possess boundless energy.
He was full of energy and wanted to experience every activity with Li Mo.
Screams and joyful laughter echoed around Li Mo from time to time, but under Meng Ziyi's influence, Li Mo's interest also increased considerably.
Following that are the City of the Future, the Magic Kingdom, the Animal Kingdom, and the Water Park, among others.
I followed her and experienced most of the attractions.
Of course, besides having fun, you also need to eat to replenish your energy.
Food options include: Sci-Fi Cinema Burger, Wagyu Beef Burger, Extra Long Hot Dog, Macaroni Hot Dog, Brown Derby Salad, Classic Cobb Salad…
In summary, it boils down to: hamburgers, salads, hot dogs, steak, pasta...
The only change is the prefix, such as "extra long" or "extra large"...
Um... this food might not have been that amazing, but it was enough to replenish energy.
"One of these, and a macaroni hot dog, and oh yes, this shredded pork chop sandwich..."
Li Mo struggled to order food in his broken English, sometimes not understanding the difference between the two hamburgers, so he simply ordered both.
Anyway, I'll give it a try.
Meng Ziyi, standing beside him, looked at Li Mo with a smile, realizing that he could be so adorable even when he encountered something he wasn't good at.
Li Mo was happy with his purchases, but when it came time to pay, Meng Ziyi insisted on paying.
Her family was well-off, and after learning that she was going abroad, she specially exchanged a lot of US dollars in advance.
After all, how can you let the guy pay for everything when you go on a date?
I've been wanting to find a chance to spend it for a while now.
She was thinking that if she didn't finish spending the money by the time she returned to China, she would just give it all to Li Mo and wouldn't bother exchanging it back.
As dusk settled, the atmosphere in the park grew stronger, especially among couples.
After buying a ticket and entering the theater, I found a seat that wasn't too far forward or too far back, and quietly waited for tonight's fireworks show.
However, there was still some time before the fireworks show, so the two chatted casually.
"MoMo, do you know what? I got the girl for our school's most beautiful girl!"
Meng Ziyi was wearing a Mickey Mouse headband that Li Mo had bought for her, holding a plush toy in her arms, and a phone charm hanging on her phone.
Basically, I buy her whatever I encounter on the road, as much as possible.
By this time, she had become a typical Disney girl.
"That's amazing?" Li Mo praised meaningfully.
Meng Ziyi nuzzled Li Mo with her head and said something with some anticipation.
You'll never guess what prize I won!
The two had already taken off their masks, probably while eating, and knew they would be watching the fireworks show afterward, so they didn't put them back on.
With everyone in the theater focused on the show and their loved ones, who would notice who was next to them?
"What prize? The school beauty gets a prize?"
Li Mo pretended not to know and asked in confusion.
"Of course! Let me tell you, it's tickets to the next round of 'The Voice of China,' and you can't even buy them if you want to!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, which means I'll be there for your next match."
Meng Ziyi happily imagined that scene. If Li Mo could write a song during this time, it would definitely be inspired by him.
Doesn't that mean I'm listening to you sing our song from the audience?
This feeling... just thinking about it makes my heart itch.
To be honest, when she learned that the school beauty's reward was this, she actually had countless things she wanted to say.
She wanted to act cute, wanted to shout, and even felt a little like crying; in short, her whole body felt weak and limp.
"So... Momo... you've got a feeling, haven't you?... I mean, inspiration!"
Meng Ziyi looked at Li Mo expectantly with eyes as bright as stars.
"you guess!"
Li Mo left her in suspense and didn't tell her.
A burst of noise in the theater jolted the two, who had been relaxed, into action, as they had finally reached the highlight of their trip.
For Li Mo, this was his first experience traveling abroad, and by the end of the trip, his feelings were naturally quite different from usual.
For Meng Ziyi, the significance was even greater. Fireworks were irresistible to girls, but the man beside her was far more intoxicating than fireworks.
She had fantasized about this scene countless times during her adolescence, but back then she could never clearly see the face of the person next to her. But now, that face had become incredibly clear and vivid.
The crowd inside was somewhat agitated, but the fireworks were delayed, causing some irritation.
Meng Ziyi took Li Mo's hand, and at that moment, the crowd began to count down in unison.
"three".
"two".
"One!"
Suddenly, a colorful firework rose into the sky first, like a prelude, a prelude for all the spectators.
It instantly captured everyone's attention, setting the stage for this magnificent spectacle in the darkness.
It captivates everyone's imagination.
The next second, the night sky was brilliant.
The world before our eyes was filled with color, and a sacred and beautiful feeling broke through the darkness and lingered in everyone's heart, playing a fairytale-like echo.
The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, following the muffled, thunderous explosions of the fireworks.
In the romantic atmosphere, someone nearby was confessing their love, followed by a passionate kiss, and children were screaming excitedly—the sound was incredibly powerful.
Meng Ziyi gripped Li Mo's hand tightly, her lips clenched so hard, her breathing quickened, and she stared unblinkingly at the intense heat of the sky.
I wanted to etch this precious night firmly into her mind.
While she wasn't paying attention, Li Mo leaned close to her ear and quietly sang.
"I'm mesmerized by your eyes,"
The Milky Way has traceable patterns.
Passing through the cracks of time,
It remains real.
It drew me in.
Meng Ziyi had never experienced such a tingling sensation before. Because of the sound of fireworks, Li Mo deliberately stood very close to her.
Meng Ziyi was so close that he could feel Li Mo's breath flowing through the sensitive nerves in his ear and into his chest.
She no longer had the strength to sit up, and her breathing became even more rapid.
How much further must I go before I can enter your heart? How much longer until I can get close to you?
How can one find that person who is so close yet unreachable? How lucky must one be?
Li Mo only sang the beginning and two lines of the chorus before stopping, and that was enough; Meng Ziyi couldn't accept any more at this point.
Noise, singing, confessions, and exclamations all rang out at once, but it wasn't noisy; in fact, they complemented each other perfectly.
It seems that in this kind of occasion, at this time, there should be so many loud noises and so many things.
The brilliant fireworks illuminated Meng Ziyi's radiant face, and the night wind lifted the hair buns on either side of her cheeks.
In that instant, the most beautiful picture was painted.
This scene is probably only seen in idol dramas!
Unable to contain his emotions any longer, Meng Ziyi suddenly stood up, put his hands to his mouth, and shouted towards the sky:
"I, Meng Ziyi, am the happiest girl in the world!"
(P.S.: Just to give myself a safety net: All of Li Mo's subsequent actions are unrelated to this author!)
Actually, according to the original plan, Meng Ziyi's storyline was supposed to appear later, but when I saw that Meng Ziyi was featured earlier in the character card, I brought it forward a bit.
Also, regarding Hu Lianxin, she will appear, but a little later, since developing her storyline also takes some time.
