Chapter 186: The Legend Of The Ferris Wheel
They walked through the snack street around the school, then visited Yangyang Cat Cafe, and strolled around the commercial district. A short day began with the rising sun and ended as dusk painted the sky red.
For the first time, Su Tao didn't think about anything, simply holding that small hand and letting her lead her everywhere.
No need for intimate interactions, no need for excessive sweet talk, and no need to spend money on unnecessary things.
She completely emptied her mind to enjoy such a wonderful day.
Enjoying her smile, her voice, the warmth she felt when holding hands, and every time she looked at her, she would receive a timely glance back.
This warmth and ease were the complete opposite of reality.
So much so that she had a feeling.
A dream?
Perhaps this was reality.
All the previous repression and pain were just one nightmare after another. How could Xiao Cheng, so cute and well-behaved, possibly be dead?
Su Tao walked behind Chi Xiaocheng. The little one with tea-colored hair was looking down, fiddling with her phone, and muttering softly, "The amusement park is this way, right? Why is this map sometimes accurate and sometimes not? It's making me go the wrong way again!"
As she spoke, Chi Xiaocheng held her phone up high, turned around in a circle to the east, and immediately changed her direction to the west.
It was as if she was orienting herself according to the triangular indicator icon on the map.
Looking quite silly.
Su Tao gave a relaxed smile and walked over, bending down to get close to Chi Xiaocheng's face, "Let me see. There's only one amusement park around here, right? Are we still going since the sun is almost setting?"
"That's exactly why the Ferris wheel feels right at night!" Chi Xiaocheng turned her face and handed her phone to Su Tao.
However, her gaze stopped on the close-up profile.
The long eyelashes and beautiful pupils were so clear in Chi Xiaocheng's eyes.
The skin on her face was so tender that water could be squeezed out.
But Su Tao didn't notice Chi Xiaocheng's gaze. Instead, she looked at the map seriously. "It's this road. Go straight and turn a corner, then keep going and you'll be there. Besides, there's only one road. How could Xiao Cheng misread the map?"
"Of course, it's because..."
Chi Xiaocheng's sweet voice came from close by.
She only said half a sentence.
Su Tao felt a strand of hair brush against the side of her cheek.
"Chirp~"
The warm touch on her cheek was fleeting. Chi Xiaocheng ran forward, hugging her phone, as if afraid that Su Tao would get angry and chase her. At the same time, she laughed and looked back.
"Hahaha, Tao Tao, I tricked you! Of course I know the way."
Su Tao touched the spot on her cheek where she had been secretly kissed and smiled helplessly.
The half-sentence that Chi Xiaocheng hadn't finished instantly completed itself in her mind.
—It's not that I can't read the map, it's that I wanted to see you from closer.
Because I like you, I couldn't help but steal a kiss.
Seeing Chi Xiaocheng "fleeing," Su Tao also pretended to be angry and rolled up her sleeves. "Oh, you dare to sneak attack me. If I catch you, you're in big trouble!"
"Nyah nyah, can't catch me, can't catch me!"
Teasing and playing were themselves a form of emotional exchange.
The amusement park wasn't far away. By the time they ran there, Chi Xiaocheng, who was already weak, was bent over, supporting her knees with her hands, and panting.
She waved her hand, looking like she admitted defeat. "I can't do it, I can't do it. I can't run anymore. Tao Tao, you exercise regularly. I can't compare to you at all!"
Su Tao looked at her indulgently. "Who told you to keep running? Can you still walk? It also takes energy to play in the amusement park, you know."
"Then carry me."
Chi Xiaocheng simply opened her arms, curling her lips. "Or give me a piggyback. That way I won't have to walk."
"How about a princess carry?"
"Eh?!"
Before Chi Xiaocheng could even react, Su Tao bent down, adjusted her posture, and easily picked Chi Xiaocheng up.
"You don't weigh anything at all. Xiao Cheng is too thin. You have to eat more, okay?"
She even bounced her up and down lightly, which really stunned Chi Xiaocheng.
This Tao Tao in my dream is so proactive!
The surrounding passers-by suddenly turned their gazes, and besides the occasional "Wow," Chi Xiaocheng even saw a flash of light.
She looked over and noticed that two girls were covering their mouths, looking at her and Su Tao meaningfully.
When their eyes met, the two girls even waved and greeted them.
After all, with so many passers-by, she had originally wanted to tease Su Tao and make her blush, but she hadn't expected that she would be the one who felt embarrassed.
Hiss—it was the first time she had been carried like this and watched by so many people.
Her ears were a little hot.
Really, doesn't this Tao Tao ever get shy?
Chi Xiaocheng glanced at Su Tao and saw that the girl's face was also a little awkward and embarrassed. How could Chi Xiaocheng not know that Su Tao had mustered up the courage to be so decisive?
She couldn't help but giggle, "Tao Tao, if you feel embarrassed, you don't have to carry me. I can get down and walk slowly."
Su Tao pursed her lips and shook her head. "Xiao Cheng is already tired. Besides, it's just being looked at by others, it's nothing. This... this is also a way of expressing my affection for Xiao Cheng."
Chi Xiaocheng sighed softly and struggled to jump down from Su Tao's arms.
She reached out her small hand and took the girl's hand again.
"I'm already very happy that Tao Tao thinks that way, but..."
Chi Xiaocheng looked at Su Tao with a smile, gently fiddling with her fingers.
"Forcing yourself like this doesn't count as liking someone, silly~"
Their fingertips lightly touched, changing from holding hands to interlocking fingers.
Chi Xiaocheng stepped towards the amusement park. "Let's go. The sun is almost setting and we're running out of time. We'll ride the Ferris wheel and then go home!"
Palm to palm, an indescribable warmth spread throughout her body.
Su Tao raised a light smile and nodded emphatically, "Okay!"
Holding hands, they strolled along. Chi Xiaocheng unwrapped a lollipop and put it in her mouth, muttering, "Tao Tao, do you know the legend of the Ferris wheel?"
Su Tao shook her head gently. "I remember seeing it somewhere before. It seems like something happens when you get to the top?"
"Hehe." Chi Xiaocheng held the lollipop with her fingertips and said excitedly, "The legend says that if you kiss at the highest point, when the Ferris wheel reaches the top, you will receive eternal love and a happy future."
"And each car is seen as a container of happiness. Looking up at the Ferris wheel is like looking up at happiness within reach. And when we get on, we will receive blessings from everyone below."
"Happiness..."
Su Tao's lips softly murmured the two words, and she looked up at the Ferris wheel.
One car after another climbed upwards, becoming smaller and smaller in her vision. The one at the top seemed to disappear into the clouds.
The yellowing sunset shone on the clouds, showering blessings and eternity.
