It wasn't until he met Jin Shiya that Noland realized he wasn’t the only one who had never been to a theme park. Jin Shiya was also a little girl who had never been pampered. Two pitiful souls coming together to have fun at a theme park—it was only natural.
To truly experience what a theme park was like, Noland even refused Sherman and Olivia’s suggestion to book the entire park. After all, a theme park without crowds wasn’t a real theme park.
However, his whimsical decision left Noland’s head of security scratching his head, but then again, that wasn’t his problem.
A theme park was about having people to scream and laugh with, to truly have fun.
Noland took off his sunglasses and put on his regular glasses, glancing at Jin Shiya. "You plan on playing with me in that outfit?"
Jin Shiya looked down at her 8-centimeter heels and immediately her face darkened.
"Should I go back and change?"
Noland let out a scoff, and just as Jin Shiya's face turned bright red from embarrassment, he pulled out his phone and made a call.
Noland’s spoken speed was fast, and with a hint of a local dialect, Jin Shiya didn’t catch all of it, but she could guess it was for clothes for her.
Soon, a well-dressed woman in high heels and blonde hair, holding a paper bag, walked up to them. She greeted Jin Shiya in fluent Mandarin. "Miss Jin, please come with me."
She took Jin Shiya to a room, where Jin Shiya found three foreign girls dressed in maid outfits. Jin Shiya hesitated and took a small step back, but the blonde woman grabbed her and pulled her into the room.
More than half an hour later, when Jin Shiya came back out, she was dressed in a new outfit. The white inner lining was covered by a light pink jacket with a sporty style. She wore a white pleated skirt and nude-colored stockings, paired with white sneakers. Her hair was braided with a strand tucked behind her ear, and her backpack was now cute and playful, a complete departure from her usual style.
When she walked back to Noland, who was sitting by the flower bed playing a casual mobile game, he glanced up at her. "That looks great on you."
Jin Shiya’s face turned red. Where did it look great? It didn’t suit her at all!
She considered herself a professional woman, and her usual sharp, elegant outfits were what she thought suited her best. With her well-developed figure, this kind of fresh, youthful outfit made her appear a little chubby, so she always avoided such clothing. Besides, her childhood sweetheart didn’t like the girlish style, and she wanted to become someone who matched him.
Her wardrobe consisted mostly of black, white, and gray colors, and she barely had anything in bright, pastel shades except for lingerie.
Wearing this outfit, Jin Shiya felt uncomfortable, even wanting to tug at her hair to hide her face.
She shook her head. "This doesn’t suit me... I don’t look good in this cute style."
"If this style doesn’t suit you now, when will it? When you reach my age?" Noland teased.
Jin Shiya lifted her head to see him walking along the flower bed. At twenty-nine, Noland, dressed in sporty attire, looked much younger than his age. When he pushed his sunglasses up to his forehead, he looked nothing like a thirty-year-old man.
"Besides, you look perfect in this," he added.
Jin Shiya’s face turned red again, this time not because of discomfort, but because of the sweet words from the "older man."
