I Was Scammed By A Snow Leopard cub - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 – Going to the Amusement Park

The second prince’s birthday party.

Luo Yu silently noted this and looked up at Xie Yingcheng.

“Is there anything I can do?”

Xie Yingcheng’s heart moved.

There are indeed things he could help with, but…

His gaze slowly moved down to the side of the human’s neck. Hidden beneath the hair were the omega’s sensitive and delicate glands.

Forget it.

Dinner parties are dangerous places, so it’s best not to bring him along. That way, there’s no need to temporarily mark him to conceal his identity.

Although attending the event alone despite being married would cause some gossip, it was much better for him to bear it alone than to involve Luo Yu.

So he calmly withdrew his gaze and said, “Not yet.”

The response after the long silence seemed a little suspicious.

“Really?” Luo Yu confirmed again.

“Hmm.” Xie Yingcheng didn’t want to say more and changed the subject: “Want to play chess?”

Luo Yu recalled that he had lost miserably every time before, so he said cautiously: “My chess skills are really far behind the Admiral’s…”

Could it be that Xie Yingcheng is addicted to beating him and is using him for entertainment?

Unexpectedly, Xie Yingcheng said directly: “I will teach you.”

Luo Yu’s eyes immediately lit up, and he happily followed him to the living room and set up the chessboard.

He originally thought that Xie Yingcheng would at most give him some pointers on a few moves during the game, but he didn’t expect that when he said he wanted to teach him, he was actually serious about it.

He explained everything from the placement of the chess pieces to the basic rules of the game, without any unnecessary words. He then demonstrated several basic openings, clearly analyzing the intentions behind each move.

Luo Yu felt like he was back in school, so after tonight’s lesson ended, he half-jokingly said while clearing the chessboard, “Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Xie.”

He suddenly paused in his movement to stand up, and his eyes became deep in an instant.

Luo Yu lowered his head at this time, the light cast a shadow under his eyelashes, and his collarbone under his collar was faintly visible.

Xie Yingcheng suddenly felt that he had been talking for too long and his mouth was dry.

So he poured a glass of water, and when he returned to the living room, Luo Yu had already put away the chessboard and was studying the familiar chess record carefully.

He bought it casually for entertainment, but it was still a bit difficult for Luo Yu at the moment.

“If you don’t understand something, you can ask me.”

Luo Yu looked up in surprise, then smiled faintly: “Teacher Xie is so dedicated and conscientious, how should I pay the tuition?”

His voice was soft, like a feather gently caressing his heart. Xie Yingcheng drank the remaining half cup of water in one gulp, and his thirst was finally relieved.

“Just keep it on hold for now, and pay it off after the class is over.”

Playing chess alone is inevitably boring, and there will be many nights in the future when they could slowly discuss it together.

•|•

On the day when he had promised to take the cub to the amusement park, Luo Yu felt something was wrong when he woke up in the morning.

His throat was hoarse and his head hurt a bit.

Luo Yu took his temperature early in the morning and it was normal.

Maybe it’s because he slept too late last night… Actually, Xie Yingcheng should take some responsibility.

They had been playing chess every night for a week, and under his guidance, Luo Yu’s chess skills had improved by leaps and bounds. He had almost won last night, but unfortunately, he was just one move short.

After putting away the chessboard, Luo Yu thought more and more and couldn’t sleep, so he reviewed the game alone until midnight.

‘I won’t be so overwhelmed next time……’

After preparing breakfast, Luo Yu went back to his room and washed his face with cold water, and then he felt a little more awake.

The cub had been thinking about today and got up by himself without Luo Yu calling him. He put on the milky blue short-sleeved hoodie and shorts that Luo Yu had prepared a day in advance, looking handsome and cute.

Luo Yu looked no different than before, but Xie Yingcheng had changed his clothes.

Finally shedding his dull black uniform, he donned a light-colored top, a rare sight. His fierceness faded, and he felt a touch more relaxed and indifferent.

So Luo Yu took a few more glances and was caught red-handed when he was getting in the car.

The cub got into the back seat first. Luo Yu was about to get in when he heard Xie Yingcheng suddenly say, “Don’t you want to sit in the passenger seat?”

Luo Yu: “?”

He glanced at Luo Yu with a half-smile, turned the key in his hand, but ultimately didn’t say anything.

‘I’m afraid I haven’t seen enough.’

‘Forget it, I’m afraid this will make people mad if I say it out loud.’

Luo Yu waited and waited but nothing came of it. He realized belatedly that Xie Yingcheng was probably just making fun of him.

On the way, Luo Yu reflected: Was it because he had been too friendly this week and had never won a chess game, that Xie Yingcheng thought he was easy to bully and teased him whenever he had nothing to do?

Did he think he is the same as the cub?

Even though he had so much free time, he didn’t seem to spend more time playing with his cubs.

Luo Yu finished complaining silently and made a decision in his heart.

The hover car drove for about an hour and arrived at the amusement park that the little girl Yangyang mentioned.

Since it had just opened, it was very popular. From a distance, one could see people coming and going at the entrance and exit of the amusement park, and everywhere were parents with children and young couples.

Before entering the park, one could hear the music from the various amusement facilities inside, ding-donging cheerfully.

The excited cub pointed at the nearby carousel and asked, “Luo Luo! Can Tuan Tuan first ride that?”

Luo Yu readily agreed, held the cub’s hand a little tighter, and after checking the tickets, they officially entered the park.

Amusement parks are the best place to release one’s nature. No matter how well-behaved the cubs are, they will run around happily once they come in.

The little kid who just got off the carousel immediately set his eyes on the rotating teacup again. He ran very fast with his short legs, and his pink hood swayed back and forth in the wind.

Luo Yu never thought that there would be a day when he would be dragged along by Tuan Tuan, and while chasing, he did not forget to pull Xie Yingcheng along.

“Hurry up, Admiral!”

If they continued strolling around, Luo Yu was afraid the baby would get lost into the crowd and he wouldn’t be able to find him!

Only when Luo Yu grabbed his wrist did Xie Yingcheng finally move a little faster.

But it’s only a little faster.

The man was tall and had long legs, and one step was equivalent to an average person’s one and a half steps. In addition, he had an aura of authority that made it difficult for anyone to walk next to him. Without the obstruction of the crowd, he could walk very smoothly.

He could even catch a leopard cub that was running too fast to prevent his silly child from accidentally bumping into Luo Yu’s legs.

From the carousel to the rotating teacup, from the children’s train to the mine exploration, after discovering that Xie Yingcheng had no intention of participating in the whole process, Luo Yu gave up.

He threw the still struggling cub to Xie Yingcheng and gave a formal smile:

“It’s your turn to fulfill your parental duties, Admiral.”

Xie Yingcheng raised his eyebrows, but didn’t refuse. However, he and Luo Yu had completely different styles of raising children.

Luo Yu picked activities that were not too dangerous and were gentle, while Xie Yingcheng took the cubs directly to the amusement area exclusively for orcs.

Escape from Bird Valley, Green Adventure, Galaxy Shuttle… whatever is exciting, Luo Yu is waiting at the exit. Seeing that the cub was panting after each project, he was eventually carried out by Xie Yingcheng.

Luo Yu: “…”

Luo Yu had witnessed such a barbaric way of raising orc cubs, which was to quickly consume their excess energy.

The key is that the cubs really buy it.

The little cub’s hair was wet with sweat, and his face was red as he shared his experience of the game with Luo Yu: “Luo Luo! So, so exciting! The big flying bird inside was super big! Tuan Tuan almost got eaten!”

After saying that, he ran to Xie Yingcheng, grabbed his trouser leg and asked, “Dad, can you play with Tuan Tuan again?”

Luo Yu observed silently from the side.

When he was in the car, he planned to take advantage of today to improve the relationship between father and son. So far, it seems to be working well. After several father-son games, the cub and Xie Yingcheng have grown much closer.

He smiled with relief, but suddenly found that Xie Yingcheng did not answer the little boy immediately, but looked at him.

His eyes seemed to be asking, “Do you want to take the cub out to play again?”

Luo Yu glanced at the little cub who was still gasping for breath, and then looked at Xie Yingcheng who was breathing steadily and calmly.

…Forget it.

“Let’s find a place to rest for a while. Are you hungry? Let’s go eat first.”

If they continued to play like this, Xie Yingcheng would still be able to go to work as usual tomorrow, but the cub would probably be too tired to go to school.

The family moved to the food court. Just as they had placed their order and sat down, they heard a familiar voice.

“My little ancestor, you’ve already ridden the roller coaster three times. Can you please be quiet?” Wen Yan followed a black-haired little boy with an ice cream in his hand, looking helpless.

The boy pursed his lips, looking much taller than Tuan Tuan, with an expression that said “keep away from strangers”. He stubbornly shook his head to refuse Wen Yan’s request.

“No, we agreed to play it five times. Let’s continue after dinner.”

Wen Yan was really impressed by his little nephew. Five times was just a casual remark of his, but he didn’t expect that the little guy actually wanted to ride it five times.

The big one and the small one happened to bump into them. Wen Yan was surprised when he saw Xie Yingcheng and Tuan Tuan.

“A’Cheng? You actually brought Tuan Tuan to the amusement park?”

It’s strange, last time it was a commercial district, this time it’s an amusement park.

Has Xie Yingcheng really changed his personality and is taking care of his child seriously?

However, Wen Yan didn’t have time to think about it carefully. His eyes lit up when he saw Tuan Tuan drinking juice.

“Tuan Tuan! Come, uncle will introduce you to a new friend. This is my nephew, Qi Yan. He is two years older than you and is a black panther. Since you two are both orcs, you two will definitely get along well.”

He pushed his little nephew over to sit with Tuan Tuan and took the opportunity to take a quick break.

He has heard Xie Yingcheng talk about a marriage agreement before, but this is the first time that he’s officially met Luo Yu.

“Luo Yu, is that so? Hello, I’m Wen Yan, A’Cheng’s friend.”

Luo Yu responded politely: “Hello.”

After a few casual conversations, Wen Yan had a basic understanding of Luo Yu: a human being with a gentle appearance and a good personality.

He is indeed a suitable candidate for a marriage partner.

Wen Yan, who was in charge of publicity, was much easier to deal with than Xie Yingcheng, so Luo Yu chatted with him for a little longer.

Xie Yingcheng, who had been silent at the side, suddenly coughed lightly, interrupting their conversation.

“How’s the plan going for the previous incident?”

Wen Yan looked puzzled.

What was going on? It seemed like nothing’s happened lately.

On the other side, Tuan Tuan looked at Qi Yan’s cold face curiously, looked at the juice he was drinking, and then looked at the water in front of Qi Yan.

Luo Luo had told him that to make good friends, he must learn to share.

The cub tilted his head and thought about it, then asked a passing waitress for two straws.

He inserted two straws into the juice cup, one on the left and one on the right, and pushed the juice cup towards Qi Yan.

“Hello, would you like to drink some juice together?”

Qi Yan looked at the little ball of milk in front of him, whose head was shorter than his and who was looking up at him, and silently took the straw.
