Chapter 96 The Crazy Woman and Her Mother
Seeing Zhaoqian suddenly change her mind and forbid Chengcheng from riding the fish, Zhao Yun let out a hearty laugh, grabbed a life jacket, and without explanation, helped Zhaoqian into one and put one on himself.
"Hey, Zhao, what are you doing!"
Zhaoqian was shocked and immediately guessed what her husband was planning. Her face turned pale with fright as she shrank back repeatedly, "No, no, no... I don't want to... I don't want to... I'm scared..."
"Su, can I just go ahead and put her on?" Zhao Yun, embracing Zhaoqian, turned his head and asked Suming with a beaming smile.
Suming was stunned. She is your wife; What does that have anything to do with me? But in such a public setting, "just going ahead," seemed a bit too bold, didn't it?
However, he quickly realized that Zhao Yun's 'put her on' wasn't what he was thinking, and promptly nodded, "Oh, oh, oh, just go ahead, just go ahead, hold on to the saddle, there are footrests on both sides."
"I don't want to... I don't want to get on..."
Zhaoqian was almost in tears, flailing her arms wildly, but Zhao Yun laughed heartily, disregarding her protests, scooped her up around the waist, walked to the water's edge, and bent over to place Zhaoqian on the seat behind the big green fish.
Once seated on the fish's back, Zhaoqian continued to struggle, but Zhao Yun scared her by saying, "Don't move around, or you'll scare the fish!" While speaking, he pulled a 'safety belt' from the saddle and clicked it into place.
Startled by her husband's intimidation, Zhaoqian dared not move about carelessly anymore, afraid of alarming the big fish beneath her and being thrown off; she gripped the saddle tightly and pleaded with a mournful face, "Husband... come up quickly, I'm scared riding by myself..."
Zhao Yun and Zhaoqian, one a handsome middle-aged uncle and the other a charming and graceful young woman, were a perfect match, a picturesque pair that naturally attracted attention wherever they went. With this little display between the couple, the people around them couldn't help but start laughing.
Zhao Yun swung a leg over and mounted the front of the big fish like a big boy, shook the reins, and shouted to Liang Shi, "Let's go!"
"Wuu... wuu... wuu..." A deep horn sound echoed.
The big green fish flicked its tail, turned around smoothly in the shallow water, and began moving slowly towards the center of the lake.
"They can really ride it!" Seeing the couple safe and sound, the people on the shore let go of their doubts, watching Zhao Yun and his wife with a mixture of curiosity and nervousness.
The big fish gradually entered the deep water area, and while Zhaoqian initially felt scared, she gradually realized that the big fish under her was very stable, showing no sign of falling into the water. Coupled with her husband's sturdy and reliable figure right in front of her, her heart, which had been in suspense, finally began to ease somewhat, still with three parts fear and seven parts curiosity, she reached out bravely to touch the big fish beneath her.
Many small fish followed behind the big fish, playfully swimming around near her feet.@@novelbin@@
Although Zhao Yun was a man of wealth with no small amount of experiences, riding a fish was a first for him, and being amidst the green hills and waters already made for a joyful mood, he suddenly felt the impetuous spirit of youth. Holding the reins in one hand, he drew a fake plastic sword from his side, swinging it at the air and let out a loud "Charge!"
As if understanding his command, the fish's fins shot up, doubling its speed and throwing up waves as it surged through the waves, with the strong breeze blowing in their faces and whipping Zhaoqian's long hair about.
"Husband, this is so thrilling!" Zhaoqian, now letting herself go, spread her arms wide and shouted from behind.
On the shore, the tourists couldn't wait to try riding the fish, but with only five fish available and now fewer left, it was a matter of the quick getting the chance and the slow missing out; they immediately swarmed towards the dock.
"Big brother, hurry up, hurry up, the fish are going to be taken by them. Let's quickly pick one!" Chengcheng was on the verge of tears. She had been promised a fun day, and now her parents were the ones having fun first, leaving her aside while the remaining few fish might not even be available for her turn.
"Don't worry, you'll ride to your heart's content today!"
Suming was rather calm and not in a hurry at all. What a joke, my fish, and I can't ride it when I want to?
He had already called the security department in advance, and Mr. Dong had sent several young security guards to wait by the dock. At Suming's command, the security guards immediately rushed over and formed a barrier in front of the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, tourists and friends!"
Suming, as if by magic, pulled out a megaphone and yelled at the crowd stopped by security: "Today is our internal testing, today is our internal testing! The fish riding attraction is not open yet... That's a good question from our friend there, when will it be open? Starting next week, it'll be open four days a week—Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, five hours each day!"
"Another excellent question from our friend here, of course, there's a fee, ten minutes per ride, sixty yuan per person!"
Sixty yuan was quite a bargain. Suming remembered the karting venue in the city charging sixty for just eight minutes. This fish riding was a unique experience in the world—ten minutes for sixty yuan, excellent value for money!
"Only four days a week, and just five hours each day?" someone called out, thinking the operating hours were too short.
"Brother, these are fish, not boats. Try being ridden all day long, they'd be dead tired! Five hours is pretty good!" Mr. Dong laughed heartily.
Even though it was already announced that they were not open today, the tourists still gathered at the dock, refusing to leave. They couldn't ride the fish themselves, but watching others ride was a rare sight to see.
Some quick thinkers hurried to the boat ticket office to buy tickets, rowing out onto the lake for a closer view. In just a few minutes, the twenty or so boats were all booked.
"Let's go, Chengcheng, mount up!"
"Oh yeah! I want to ride a unicorn!" Chengcheng yelled excitedly.

Liang Shi strode into the shallow water, "leading" the fish disguised as a "unicorn," the second largest green fish, to the shore. Suming lifted Chengcheng onto the back seat and climbed onto the front seat himself.
It was fortunate that these were big fish trained by Suming's spiritual power and fitted with wooden planks to lighten their load. Otherwise, even larger fish wouldn't have been able to support the weight of two people.
Even so, when Suming sat down, he could clearly feel the second green fish sinking down sharply.
"Good thing I didn't let Mr. Wang come!" Suming thought to himself.
The second green fish slowly swam out of the harbor and headed for the vast waters. Chengcheng made a megaphone shape with her hands around her mouth, shouting towards Zhao Yun and his wife in the distance: "Daddy, mommy, here we come!"
Zhao Yun flicked the reins, and the first green fish nimbly turned in the water, heading their way to rendezvous!
Suming's grin was devilish as he pulled a large water gun from under the fish's saddle, pumped it a few times, and sneakily handed it to Chengcheng.
Chengcheng understood immediately, her big eyes cunningly curved into two crescent moons. She hid the water gun behind Suming's back. As the two fish drew near, she suddenly pulled out the water gun from behind Suming and yelled, "Hands up, surrender or get soaked!"
Zhao Yun and Zhaoqian were already having a blast, and Chengcheng had a mischievous grin as she opened fire.
Hissss... As they passed each other, Zhaoqian let out a delicate shriek, soaked from head to toe by her daughter's water gun spray. Angrily, she slapped Zhao Yun's shoulder heavily: "Look at how naughty your daughter is!"
Zhao burst into laughter, "You can fight back, you know!"
It was still quite hot, and everyone wore shorts and T-shirts, so there was no fear of catching a cold. As they say, like parents, like daughter; Chengcheng's mischief was probably inherited from Zhao Yun and Zhaoqian. Indulged by Zhao, Zhaoqian still had a little girl's nature. Hearing her husband's words, she actually searched around the big green fish and found a water gun!
"There really is a water gun! Hurry, turn around. I'm going to get back at that naughty little thing!"
Soaked through, with her hair all disheveled, Zhaoqian looked like a wild kid who couldn't grow up, holding her water gun and charging over the water surface.
"Chengcheng, mommy's coming!"
