331 The Fairy’s Animal Kingdom.
When they finished the Ferris wheel ride, the sun had almost set. Penny and Zoren finally calmed down after spending the day riding everything and trying everything in sight. After the ride, they walked around aimlessly with their witch hats still on.
“Oh, there’s… cotton candy” Her brows rose as she saw a small booth where one of the staff was holding two sticks of cotton candy. “Should we try them?”
“Mhm, sure.”
With that, Penny skipped over to the stall while he trailed behind her.
“Oh, wow!” Her face brightened up. “They are cute!”
The cotton candies had different designs, such as flowers, minions, piglets, mice, cats, and even a frog! =
“Is the owner a pet lover?” she blurted out, noticing that some parts of the theme park had many animal themes. It reminded her of Disneyland, where there were all kinds of animal mascots representing the animal characters many people grew up with.
“Yes,” the staff nodded with a soft smile. “It is said that the owner of the amusement park likes. animals.”
Her mouth formed into an ‘o‘ shape. “Oh, wow.”
“Do you want cotton candy, Miss?” the staff asked. “Which one do you want? We can customize it if you’d like.”
“How much?”
“Same price, Miss.”
Penny glanced at the price poster next to the stall and furrowed her brows. “So cheap!”
“This amusement park’s focus is for everyone to enjoy it without breaking their wallets,” the staff chuckled. “Our mission is to make sure all children who come here have a memorable experience with their families.”
“Isn’t that nice?” Penny beamed, her good impression of the theme park growing tenfold. “Then,
I’d like the…”
She trailed off as she looked over the choices. “Now, Lean’t help but feel like if I choose an animal, I’m heartless. Her remark made the staff laugh.
“How about a flower, Miss?” the staff suggested.
“Sure!” She nodded. “I’ll get the flower
Penny and the staff then turned to the guy behind her. “What about you? Can you eat cotton candy? Or are you watching your sugar?”
“I want a worm.
The staff and Penny stared at him se if they hadn’t heard him the first time. He didn’t inet gav he

wanted a worm, right?
“A long one,” he added without faltering. “Can you do that?”
A look of horror slowly spread across Penny’s and the staff’s faces as they looked at him in disbelief. There wouldn’t be a problem making a worm out of cotton candy, but why?! There were so many options, so why a worm?
“Zoren, are you… sure?” Penny asked, only to see him nod. “Really sure?”
too.
“Yes. He nodded, his eyes on the staff. “Do it. A long worm that can scare you The staff opened and closed his mouth before casting his colleague a look. The latter also looked at Zoren in dismay, but it was his request. Therefore, they fulfilled the request, even though it made them wonder about his taste.
While waiting. Penny looked at him with mixed emotions.
‘Goodness. She shook her head slightly. Renren, you really have a weird taste.‘ – just like her.
It didn’t take long for them to get their cotton candy.
“Here is your cotton candy!” the staff announced, handing over the sticks with a smile. He first gave the beautiful flower to Penny and then the scary long worm to Zoren.
Unlike the look of horror the staff had, Zoren smiled in satisfaction.
“Thank you,” he said, staring at the cotton candy that was probably the length of a sword.
Once they paid, Penny and Zoren walked away. She couldn’t help but glance at his cotton candy, but before she could say anything, she heard a child speak.
“Mommy, what is that sword?”
Penny glanced at the little girl, catching her tugging at her mother and pointing in their direction. The mother squinted at what Zoren was holding but couldn’t tell what it was exactly. “Is it poop?” the girl asked innocently, only for her mother to cover her mouth. The mother then glanced at Penny and smiled apologetically before telling her daughter not to be rude to others. A shallow sigh escaped Penny, and she cast a look at the happy Zoren. “I didn’t know you were
into worms.
“I’m not, but it reminds me of a funny memory from the past,” he chuckled. “I’m not eating it. “Why not?”
“Because I’m not a mouse.”
The rest of the words Penny had to say got stuck in her throat as she looked at him with slight surprise. For others, his answer wouldn’t make sense. Perhaps, they would even wonder if he was changing the subject. However, Penny knew exactly what he was talking about.
‘I almost forgot about that,‘ she told herself, laughing to herself as she turned her eyes ahead. ‘We did have such a memory in the past. Isn’t he sweet? Is there anything he has forgotten about

Thinking of that memory from the past, the smile on her face brightened.
“Aren’t you going to eat that?” he asked, snapping her back to the present.
Her brows rose as she glanced at the cotton candy. “I want to, but it’s too pretty. I don’t want to
