Under the guidance of the staff, the two of them prepared their safety gear. When they turned back, they realized Di Mingjue was still standing at the entrance.
"Daddy!"
"Mmm~"
Di Mingjue's voice trembled. After speaking, he gripped the handrail even tighter.
"Hello, sir. We're about to begin. You need to put on your protective suit quickly." A staff member walked over.
Sensing the gazes of Xiao Ran and Yu Ze, Di Mingjue guiltily asked the staff member, "Do they require an adult to accompany them?"
"Yes," the staff member replied.
This was their regulation, meant to prevent children from engaging in unsafe behavior when riding alone without adult supervision.
Faced with the combined urging, Di Mingjue sighed and dragged his heavy legs towards the area where they put on the safety gear.
"Daddy, are you scared?" Xiao Ran asked.
Di Mingjue really wanted to say he wasn't, but his body's trembling affected his voice. As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was audible with a tremor.
Yu Ze was also scared. He carefully sensed that Di Mingjue's current fear was the same as his. He came to Di Mingjue's side with concern, gently touching his palm. "Daddy, are you afraid of heights?"
As soon as he stood up and saw the objects below looking like ants, his heart felt like it would jump out of his throat. If Xiao Ran hadn't reached out to him, he would have turned and fled.
Di Mingjue took a deep breath and nimbly let the staff help him put on the protective suit.
"Let's go, it's about to start." After adjusting his fear, he turned and left.
With the staff's care, the three of them got on the roller coaster.
"Ah~"
A scream cut through the air. Xiao Ran looked at Di Mingjue beside him in disbelief. He thought Yu Ze would be scared, but he never expected Di Mingjue to be the one screaming so loudly.
Yu Ze kept his eyes closed the entire time, while Di Mingjue's shouts left his throat hoarse.
One loop after another, they reached the end.
"Daddy, are you okay?" Xiao Ran asked, worriedly holding his arm.
A warm current churned up from his stomach. Di Mingjue pushed Xiao Ran's hand away and quickly ran to the trash can, squatting down.
"Gag~ Gag~"
Xiao Ran's expression shifted slightly, and he looked sympathetically at the miserable Di Mingjue.
Qianqian, who had just finished the carousel, arrived at the base of the roller coaster, led by Ye Ziyu.
"Xiao Ran, where is your father?" Ye Ziyu asked.
Xiao Ran pointed, "Over there."
Di Mingjue, by the trash can, was leaning on it and vomiting, unable to straighten up.
"Did the roller coaster do this to him?" Ye Ziyu asked.
Yu Ze nodded in agreement, "Daddy seems to be afraid of heights. After sitting on it, he kept screaming loudly. After the ride, he started vomiting uncontrollably."
Ye Ziyu couldn't help but laugh, "He's afraid of heights?"
With his nearly two-meter height, he was actually afraid of heights.
Looking at his distressed state, Ye Ziyu instructed the children to wait there and then took out water and tissues from her bag.
"Drink some water to settle your stomach."
Di Mingjue took it, drinking only two or three sips from the bottle, using the rest as mouthwash.
"If you can't handle it, don't force yourself," Ye Ziyu patted his back.
Just watching him looked uncomfortable; he must have been even more so.
Di Mingjue looked up in the direction of the children, "I can't let the children think I'm incapable!"
"And now you are capable?" Ye Ziyu pressed.
Besides, being afraid of heights wasn't something to be ashamed of. What couldn't he let the children know?
Di Mingjue knew he was in the wrong. He had called out, he had vomited, and the children had seen it all.
"Don't force yourself in the future. The children won't think you're incapable just because you can't do something," Ye Ziyu advised.
Regarding Ye Ziyu's concern, Di Mingjue wasn't thinking about his physical condition. He cared more about the children's perception. No matter what, he had to maintain a tall and mighty image in front of them.
