Chapter 187 The Other Side Of The Dream Is Reality
What would eternal happiness look like?
Would it always be like this, filled with joy, warmth, fascination, and intoxication?
Just as she didn't know what it meant to like someone, Su Tao didn't quite understand the concept of happiness either.
She simply equated this warm, relaxing feeling and the smile of the person before her with happiness.
If only this moment could last forever…
She suddenly gripped Chi Xiaocheng's hand tighter, clenching it firmly.
"Xiaocheng, let's go ride the Ferris wheel!"
She wanted to hold onto this happiness, until eternity.
Seeing her somewhat anxious expression, Chi Xiaocheng chuckled softly, "There's a queue, you know. We can't rush it. Everyone knows the legend, and there are so many people who want to reach the top at this beautiful moment when dusk falls, before night arrives."
Su Tao looked up and noticed the long queue in front of the Ferris wheel. It was uncertain whether they could even get on before the sun set.
If night fell and dusk was gone, would the legend still hold true? Would it still be eternal?
Su Tao grew anxious, pulling Chi Xiaocheng into the crowd waiting in line.
The line wasn't endless, but the Ferris wheel's slow rotation made Su Tao feel incredibly impatient, and the anxiety in her heart intensified with the arrival of a certain premonition.
Chi Xiaocheng stood obediently by her side, and as she held Su Tao's hand, she could feel a slight stickiness from the sweat in her palm.
She really wanted to preserve this eternity, afraid that the sun would set, afraid that when she stepped onto the Ferris wheel, the sunlight would be gone, and the legend would dissolve into a bubble.
After all, it was just a legend, but since Tao Tao had such a wish.
Chi Xiaocheng would accompany her and wait together.
She took out the candy she had been holding in her mouth.
Faced with the girl's nervousness, Chi Xiaocheng offered it, "Want some?"
Her eyes held a calming peace, as if she were repeating the words she had said countless times—no matter what happens, I will always be by your side.
The round candy was small.
The anxiety in her heart was gradually suppressed.
"Thank you, Xiaocheng."
Su Tao loosened her grip on her hand, used her other hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and lowered her head to put the candy in her mouth.
She then heard Chi Xiaocheng gently reassuring her, "Don't worry, we'll definitely make it."
"Mm."
Su Tao held onto the candy stick with her right hand.
Her gaze involuntarily fell on Chi Xiaocheng's adorable face.
Her tongue swirled around.
So sweet~
Time passed little by little, and a faint moon gradually hung in a corner of the sky, with starlight faintly breaking through the clouds.
At the last moment of dusk, the clouds were dyed as red as blood.
The other tourists around couldn't help but take out their phones, aiming them at the dreamlike scene in the sky.
At the same time, they also aimed at the Ferris wheel cars as they ascended.
Then, the sun began to set.
After waiting in line for so long, Su Tao finally caught the last glimpse of it and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Great, we made it."
Chi Xiaocheng turned her head, exchanged a smile with her, "Then let's go quickly. Our happiness is within reach."
The Ferris wheel slowly lifted their car into the air. Chi Xiaocheng stood by the window, overlooking the outside. Everything became tiny as they ascended, as if the whole world was shrinking.
It was Chi Xiaocheng's first time riding a Ferris wheel, and the strange feeling made her exclaim, "I can actually feel the earth's gravity disappearing, and everything is shrinking. It's so magical, so beautiful."
"Yes," Su Tao also stood by the window, but she wasn't looking at the scenery outside, but at the adorable girl beside her.
While overlooking the scene below and feeling the world becoming smaller, it also made one feel that happiness was right beside them.
Perhaps this was what it felt like to like someone.
Being by her side felt enjoyable, happy, comfortable, and fulfilling.
The car rose high into the air, unsure of when it would descend, and time passed by clearly.
Could this period of being high up without landing be called eternity?
It was very quiet around them, and Su Tao could even hear Chi Xiaocheng's faint breathing.
Until the car climbed higher, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on them.
Su Tao slowly regained her senses and gently called out, "Xiaocheng."
"Mm?"
The hand that was being held had been released sometime, and Chi Xiaocheng turned around and looked up at Su Tao slightly.
Smiling without saying a word, she was waiting for the girl to take the initiative.
And Su Tao didn't disappoint her.
"We're almost at the highest point."
She really wanted to imprint the word "eternity" on this happiness.
This initiative was different from before.
It wasn't that she had never taken the initiative before, but after the pressure had pushed her to the limit, she took the initiative to seek the girl to achieve the process of numbing and relieving pressure.
It was like being tired all day and needing to immerse oneself in a gentle embrace to find relief.
But this time, the initiative was to keep her by her side forever.
Chi Xiaocheng took a small step to the side, so as not to get too close to the window, and a shy blush appeared on her face as she hummed softly like a mosquito.
Su Tao knew that this was a signal.
The Ferris wheel continued to rise.
The brilliant clouds seemed to be close at hand.
Su Tao stared unblinkingly at Chi Xiaocheng, truly filling her eyes with her in this small space.
And because of this, she didn't notice.
As the car climbed to the highest point, the sunlight shining on them had gradually dimmed.
Time passed slowly and quickly.
She could clearly feel her own leaping heartbeat, which was an unprecedented palpitation and nervousness.
It was clearly just a kiss.
Clearly, she had done it countless times before.
It could even be said that she was skilled at it.
But for no reason, she still felt her heart beating faster.
The surrounding space was compressed, and she and her got closer and closer.
As the slight feeling of weightlessness brought by the car's ascent stopped, Su Tao knew that she and Chi Xiaocheng's car had reached the highest point of the entire Ferris wheel.
She reached out her hand proactively, reaching towards Chi Xiaocheng.
However…
Just as her hand was about to touch the other's cheek.
As if a shadow was rippling in front, Su Tao stepped forward and lunged into empty air.
The hand reaching for her cheek passed right through. She was like air, and no matter how Su Tao struggled, it was difficult to touch her.
The girl's eyes became extremely terrified in that instant.
She turned around and realized that half of her body had also passed through Chi Xiaocheng.
"Xiao…Xiaocheng?" Su Tao took two steps back in astonishment and realized that Chi Xiaocheng was gradually becoming transparent, like starlight about to dissipate.
And that last ray of sunset also disappeared as the car began to descend.
The dim moonlight had not yet lit up, and the world seemed to have fallen into its darkest moment.
Chi Xiaocheng helplessly took a step back, looking at Su Tao with a regretful smile, "The dream is about to end."
