Chapter 405 Xiao Cheng, I Love You!
Holding her small hand in my palm, my steps were firm.
Su Tao was practically pulling Chi Xiaocheng forward, walking in front of the girl, shielding her from the setting sun.
Chi Xiaocheng was forced to follow in her shadow.
No one would think she was in a relatively disadvantaged position, in the shadows, but rather that the girl walking ahead was sheltering her from the wind and rain.
Her unstoppable momentum could not be deterred even by the sun.
Chi Xiaocheng was being pulled along, her faltering steps revealing her complicated emotions.
Both of them were hesitating, both making choices.
Clearly, Su Tao had made her choice first.
Follow her, then get on the Ferris wheel, and then...
How should she respond to a confession?
Chi Xiaocheng watched Su Tao take step after step towards the Ferris wheel waiting area, her complex mood unchanged.
She didn't really want to go to the Ferris wheel.
She didn't really want to say yes to Tao Tao just yet.
It was fine to maintain their current relationship, and just keep waiting.
That was clearly what she was thinking, so why wasn't she stopping?
She could just grab Tao Tao's hand and refuse to go on the Ferris wheel.
She could suggest any other ride, a carousel, a roller coaster, bumper cars... anything would do, just say she wanted to play those, and stall for time, and when the sun set, she wouldn't have to go on the Ferris wheel with Tao Tao.
That way, she wouldn't be confessed to.
And she wouldn't have to choose whether or not to agree.
And she wouldn't be targeted by the world's will again.
Chi Xiaocheng took another step, her head lowered, her bangs obscuring half of her eyes. She bit her lip, and with every meter she walked, it felt like a very rational voice inside her was telling her not to go any further.
Ahead, was an abyss.
Was the countless terrible endings.
Was the beginning of another reincarnation.
Since she knew all this, then why didn't she choose to stop!
Chi Xiaocheng almost roared at herself in her heart.
Stopping was such a simple thing to do!
So why couldn't she do it?
Looking at the setting sun in the distance, Chi Xiaocheng's eyes revealed not only confusion, but also a hint of longing that was constantly struggling with reason.
Hadn't she been waiting for this day for hundreds of reincarnations?
Whether it was in her heart, or out of her own emotions, she longed to be able to agree to Su Tao and be together forever.
Emotion was inherently an emotion that contradicted reason.
And hesitation often wouldn't be for just a moment.
Chi Xiaocheng hadn't gotten an accurate answer yet, and when she looked up again, she was already at the foot of the Ferris wheel.
A large crowd of people was gathered here, seemingly not waiting in line.
The place that was surrounded seemed to be where you get tickets and line up.
Su Tao really wanted to squeeze in and see what was going on, but there were just too many people here.
She couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and subconsciously murmured her thoughts, "If we don't hurry, we won't be able to get in line before sunset, there are so many people."
VIP status didn't seem to have any leeway here?
Su Tao glanced at Chi Xiaocheng, who was looking down and not saying anything, and couldn't help but ask a passerby, "Excuse me, friend, can you tell me what's going on? Why is everyone gathered here and not lining up to get tickets?"
The passerby sighed helplessly, "It seems like there's something wrong with the Ferris wheel, it stopped half an hour ago, and they're still repairing it. I guess no one will be able to ride it today. So many people are gathered here, all waiting to see if they can catch the last ride before sunset."
Su Tao was stunned when she heard the passerby's words, "The Ferris wheel... is broken?"
In other words, her confession was going to fall flat?
Su Tao subconsciously glanced at Chi Xiaocheng, only to find that the latter was also looking at the passerby in surprise.
She couldn't tell from her expression whether she was disappointed or relieved.
It just seemed like fate wasn't on their side.
No need for elaborate planning, just on that Ferris wheel, she could make up for the regrets of the past.
Chi Xiaocheng's voice softly rang in Su Tao's ear, "Even if they can fix it at this time, we probably won't be able to get in line, right? Why don't we... go play something else?"
Su Tao forced a smile, "That's okay, but I don't really feel like playing anything. How about we just... wander around?"
"Well... we could consider getting dinner."
After all, eating here didn't cost money.
But clearly, neither of them was thinking about the cost of the meal.
Like a common relationship issue.
They were originally very good friends, even childhood sweethearts.
But once they confessed, and were rejected, or became aware of the other person's feelings, then the original pure and perfectly matched relationship would slowly deteriorate.
Both sides would overthink, and then create a gap.
Just like the two of them now.
Su Tao put her hands in her pockets, wondering what she was thinking, and her steps were a little fast.
Chi Xiaocheng's short legs could only speed up to keep up with Su Tao.
She stared at the girl's back, wondering what she was thinking.
Her gaze fell on the Ferris wheel in the distance, with carriages constantly climbing up, but there wasn't a single person in the carriages.
Suddenly, Su Tao stopped and looked to the side.
Chi Xiaocheng followed her gaze, and in the distance, a peach-pink restaurant had couples constantly entering and exiting.
A couples' restaurant.
Just hearing the name, you knew the unique meaning it contained.
It seemed that Tao Tao hadn't given up on that idea.
"Do you want to eat inside?"
Chi Xiaocheng asked proactively, her voice very soft.
She understood Su Tao's thoughts, and she understood her regrets.
If she couldn't confess, then eating in a place like this to make up for it would be... a silent confession, right?
But just when Chi Xiaocheng thought Su Tao would agree, the girl's original somewhat longing eyes suddenly became firm, "I don't want to eat!"
She grabbed Chi Xiaocheng's hand, "Xiaocheng, come with me for a second."
"Wait... wait a minute, where are we going? Don't walk so fast!"
"Just come with me."
Su Tao's steps became faster and faster, and her back seemed to become more and more determined.
As evening approached, the people who had been playing all day were heading out of the amusement park.
Only Su Tao, unusually, was pulling Chi Xiaocheng toward the interior of the amusement park.
Passing through a series of lush paths.
Suddenly, the view opened up.
In front of them was a lake dyed red by the setting sun. The gentle breeze brushed against their faces, bringing the unique tenderness of spring, which was refreshing.
This spot by the lake was somewhat hidden. As the sun gradually set, only Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao were present.
And the girl, looking at the lake, suddenly shouted out as if to vent.
Or perhaps she was trying to embolden herself.
Then, she turned around very seriously, "Xiaocheng!"
The girl's eyes were firm, "Even... even if it's not on the Ferris wheel, even if it's not the best atmosphere with the right time, place, and people, I... I still don't want to give up this moment, I don't want to keep waiting!"
Su Tao took a deep breath, closed her eyes tightly, and said in a clear and loud voice, "Xiaocheng, I like you!"
