The gift Lu Xiao prepared was a watch with his name engraved on it.
But he didn't bring it with him, and he planned to give it to him after he went out.
Before he could speak, Jiang Jin interjected, "Brother Xiao's gift is just ahead, look! The Ferris wheel!"
Hearing this, Ye Cheng looked up, and there was a tall Ferris wheel not far away.
The ticket gate, where there are usually long queues, is now empty, with no one there.
If you look carefully, you will find that there seems to be looming black shadows in every small room.
Jiang Jin pushed him two steps behind him, and said excitedly, "Go and have a look."
He didn't notice that Lu Xiao's face changed.
Ye Cheng walked over as promised, Jiang Jin was suddenly picked up by the back of the neck with a hand, Lu Xiao said fiercely behind him: "Did you ask someone to put flowers in the Ferris wheel?"
"That's right, this is a confined space, don't you think it's very romantic?" Jiang Jin turned back innocently.
Lu Xiao frantically said, "I'm afraid of heights."
Jiang Jin: "...ah, damn it, you didn't say it earlier."
"When the hell have I ever played with a jumping machine? Is this the confined space you're talking about?"
Ye Cheng walked under the ferris wheel rotating at an extremely slow speed, and finally saw clearly what was inside.
In the small room just past, there is a layer of gypsophila. The small room in front of him was full of lisianthus, the next one was full of tulips.
In winter, these different types of bouquets, I don't know how much thought it took to be transported here.
He looked at the flowers in silence for a long time without saying a word.
It's been so long that Lu Xiao has overcome her psychological barrier and walked over slowly.
Jiang Yirong showed a sweet smile and said, "Do you feel that looking at them makes you feel better? Choose a room now."
Ye Cheng smiled and turned to look at Lu Xiao.
He pointed to the wisteria flower room that was coming, and said, "This is all right, do you want to go together?"
"Together, of course." Jiang Jin patted Lu Xiao on the back.
Lu Xiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and nodded.
The wisteria float passed in front of them slowly, Ye Cheng bent down and got in, and after sitting down, he waved to Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao was still hesitating at first, but after seeing his movements, she gritted her teeth and followed him.
The staff stepped forward and closed the door, and the Ferris wheel rose little by little.
There are only the two of them on the entire Ferris wheel.
Click, click, with the gears turning, there was a slight friction sound between the seats.
Looking through the glass, you can overlook the entire playground.
In the distant horizon, the fire clouds swept across the curtain-like sky.
Inside the Ferris wheel, wisteria flowers wrap gracefully around the seats and armrests, very similar to the windows in Ye Cheng's room.
As the height gradually increased, Lu Xiao's sitting posture became more and more awkward.
He gripped the handrail tightly, looked around, and even pinched off a few wisteria flowers unconsciously.
Although his fear of heights is not very serious, he will inevitably be nervous at the height of the Ferris wheel.
Ye Cheng kept staring at him until he was about to reach the apex, when he suddenly asked, "Are you afraid?"
Lu Xiao didn't expect her to be exposed, her eyes dodged, "Fortunately, it's not special..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Cheng handed him his hand and said softly: "If you are afraid, grab my hand."
In an instant, Lu Xiao forgot what she was going to say.
She stared blankly at his palm for a few seconds, then put her hand on it hesitantly.
Ye Cheng's palm was warm and soft, soothing the chill caused by his height.
The finger bones of the two were interlaced and gradually clasped each other, and the touching skin was heating up like the climbing speed of a ferris wheel.
Lu Xiao's heartbeat calmed down, but not completely.
There was a faint pulsation coming from the tightly clenched fingers. He didn't know where he had seen it before, saying that his fingertips could feel a person's heartbeat.
In a trance, he suddenly discovered that Ye Cheng had been unexpectedly gentle since just now.
Yes, he actually wanted to use the word gentle to describe Ye Cheng.
Mingming still had a faint expression on his face, as if no big deal had anything to do with him, but it just made Lu Xiao feel soft.
He also followed Lu Xiao all the way, and agreed to almost all of his requests.
Lu Xiao cleared her throat, and said frankly, "I'm a little afraid of heights."
"Well, it's the nature of many people to be afraid of heights, so don't look down." Ye Cheng stared at him and said.
Of course he knew that Lu Xiao was afraid of heights, and he also knew that he would only forget about his fear of heights when he was by his side.
When they were not familiar with each other, they once took a transparent sightseeing elevator together. Lu Xiao was determined not to go in at first, and did not say why.
After a while, Ye Cheng realized that he was afraid of heights, and he was too embarrassed to admit it.
But later, as long as he was by his side, Lu Xiao no longer resisted the sightseeing elevator - as long as he held his hand.
Lu Xiao had no choice but to look into his eyes and glance at the soles of his feet from time to time.
He was a little embarrassed by Ye Cheng, but he didn't move the hand holding him, as if he was afraid that if he moved, Ye Cheng would take it away.
Ye Cheng watched him relax slowly, his heart was numb by the scent of wisteria flowers.
This idiot is still the same as before, oh no, the same as the future.
As long as you hold his hand, no matter how high you are, you will not be afraid.
Lu Xiao was a little shy from being stared at, and focused on the petals on the bottom of her feet.
Finally, when the Ferris wheel returned to the original point, Ye Cheng said: "I like this gift very much, thank you, Lu Xiao."
Lu Xiao's face was slightly hot, she blinked her eyes and tried to look at him and said, "As long as you like it."
After they got down, Jiang Jin ran over with a fairy stick and said with a smirk, "Come set off the fireworks!"
Lu Xiao took two to Ye Cheng, Ye Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "You guys play."
Jiang Yirong was worried that her skirt would be burned, so she stood beside him.
"How about it, was it very romantic just now?" Jiang Jin asked in a low voice.
"Romantic fart, I'm ashamed." Lu Xiao shoved him, "I'll settle the score with you later."
Lu Xiao took a fairy wand to tease Ye Qiaoqiao, but she held it up so high that she couldn't reach it, and Ye Qiaoqiao jumped up and down in anger.
"They are so stupid." Jiang Yirong's hair was messed up by the wind, but she still couldn't stop smiling.
Ye Cheng agreed: "It's not against harmony to say that people of the same age are in harmony."
Jiang Yirong looked at them for a while, then turned her head to look at Ye Cheng, and said, "You don't seem to be very happy today. You haven't talked much since you came out of the haunted house. What's the matter?"
Ye Cheng shook her head and looked at the huge Ferris wheel in front of her: "I'm very happy."
"I'm glad to have a blast with him and ride on the same Ferris wheel." His voice was slightly deep.
As everyone knows, this is already the luckiest thing for him.
Jiang Yirong asked blankly, "What?"
Ye Cheng turned to ask her: "Do you like Jiang Jin?"
His sudden question made Jiang Yirong a little ashamed, but she still replied: "I like it."
"Then do you like him now, or him ten years from now?"
Jiang Yirong was asked this question, she looked at Jiang Jin and thought for a while, and said: "If we are still together ten years later, then of course we both like it."
"Ten years later, he will still be him." She looked at Ye Cheng and said it as a matter of course.
"Yes, that's right."
Ye Cheng raised the corners of her lips, and the fairy wand not far away burst out with a subtle but bright light.
He used to think that he would leave here one day, maybe he could go back ten years later in a dream.
Helping Lu Xiao study is his mission and the meaning of his existence here.
But more and more emergencies made him realize that perhaps this was not a dream that he could go or stay at will.
Ye Gaoyang is reaping the fruit step by step, Ye Qiaoqiao's life experience has come to light unexpectedly, Qu Tian may never get that inheritance again.
And he also began to have many things that he never had in his previous life, Ye Gaoyang's guilt, that letter from his mother, and a different feeling for Lu Xiao.
All the unexpected reminded him that this new life was not just a short moment like a fairy wand, and every regret he had was repaired.
And among these many regrets, Lu Xiao was also included.
In his previous life, he was always unable to completely hand himself over to Lu Xiao, and would always use some means to keep him by his side. He always had a lot to say but couldn't say.
The world of an adult is always different from that of a teenager. He is afraid that the other party will not cherish him, and he is even more afraid that both parties will be hurt.
They met in a nightclub, and they fell into bed because of a conflict, from being disgusted with each other to being happy with each other.
In fact, just like Lu Xiao's latent worries about gains and losses, he also has an extreme sense of uncertainty.
Even when socializing, if a certain female boss gave Lu Xiao an extra look, he would feel uncomfortable.
But he never told Lu Xiao, as if that would not be cool.
However, the seventeen-year-old Lu Xiao never had any reservations about him.
He doesn't care if he's cool or not, he only cares if he's happy. Even if you are afraid of heights, you have to ride the Ferris wheel with him.
Just at that moment, he placed a huge gamble of his life in a place that no one knew about.
"I hope Lu Xiao will always be Lu Xiao."
— This is Ye Cheng's eighteenth birthday wish.
I hope that the seventeen-year-old Lu Xiao can grow up slowly and gradually become the twenty-seven-year-old him.
After coming out of Happy Valley, Jiang Jin sent Jiang Yirong home first.
Ye Cheng took Ye Qiaoqiao to the hospital, then walked back with Lu Xiao.
On the way, Ye Cheng said to him: "Why don't you go back tonight and stay here for one night."
Lu Xiao thought about it, but she still said: "Sister-in-law Wang is going back to her hometown today, I have to go back, I can't leave my mother alone."
Ye Cheng said: "I should spend more time with Auntie."
"My dad came back in the spring, I hope they can have a good chat." Lu Xiao said.
Ye Cheng paused: "Your father is going back to China?"
Isn't it the second semester of the second year of high school in the beginning of spring, which coincides with the time when Lu Xiao dropped out of school.
"He said come back and deal with something." Lu Xiao said.
Ye Cheng nodded with complicated eyes.
After arriving at his house, Lu Xiao waved her hand and said, "Go in, I'm leaving."
With a thought in his heart, Ye Cheng said to him, "You wait here for me for a minute."
Said, turned and ran into the house.
Seeing him coming back, Gao Qiulan hurriedly greeted him, "Xiao Cheng, I made you longevity noodles."
"Thank you grandma, I'll eat later." Ye Cheng hurried into the room.
He took off the nameplate from his school uniform and ran out again.
It was getting dark outside, and the street lights on the side of the road came on one after another.
Lu Xiao stood under the street lamp, wearing a black woolen overcoat, her shadow became more and more slender.
Ye Cheng ran very fast.
After coming out, she stood in front of him panting.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xiao asked aloud.
Ye Cheng didn't answer him, but raised her hands and pinned something on his coat.
"Give it to you." He raised his face and smiled at Lu Xiao.
The tip of his nose was red from the cold, and the light brown eyes reflected the light of the street lamp, as if filling the entire starry sky.
