SWNOVELS Chapter 1655
Tang Yuanyuan was sitting calmly on the merry-go-around but rushed toward Yuchi Yishu as soon as she got down.
“What’s wrong?”
She rebuked, “You said that I will always be a kid to you.”
“Huh? What?” He did not think that there was anything wrong with what he said so he could not see why she was angry.
“Did you forget what you promised me?”
“Huh?”
She wanted to talk about it but also felt embarrassed to ask. After all, she was still young and innocent. Even if she came to know about love in the future, she would still get shy about it.
Tang Yuanyuan stared at him without saying anything.
“What is it? Say it.”
He reached out to poke her head. “Why is there no sound anymore?”
After being poked, she looked up at him in anguish. “You forgot. What’s the point of saying it now?”
She turned around and was about to run away when he caught her wrist.
“What do you mean there’s no point? What did I forget? Didn’t I already do what I promised you?”
He paused for a moment and lowered his voice.
“I’ve stayed single until now. If I remember correctly, you told me I couldn’t find a girlfriend until you grew up. Right?”
Tang Yuanyuan froze.
It seemed like that was what she had said at the time. She thought that beautiful lady was Yishu’s girlfriend so she did not want him to find a girlfriend—at least not before she grew up as it was only fair to her that way.
It doesn’t seem like he has forgotten.
“Right?” he asked again when she did not respond after a while.
She nodded.
“So what do you mean that I forgot? Can you explain? Hmm?”
After a moment of silence, she looked up at him. “You said I will always be a kid to you. Does that mean I will never have a chance?”
Because who would be romantically involved with a kid?
They might like a kid, but it was a different kind of affection. That was why Tang Yuanyuan was sad.
“All because of that?”
“All because of that? Do you feel like it isn’t enough?”
“What? Is it not okay for me to adore you like a child?” He reached out to caress her head but saw that she had her hair done that day. If he caressed her head, he would have easily messed up her hair. He lowered his hand and gently tugged at the loose strands of hair around her.
“Also, who said you will never have a chance?”
Her eyes lit up. She wanted to say more, but he just dragged her along. “Let’s go to the next one.”
She crinkled her nose and bit her bottom lip.
What did he mean by that? He said it but he won’t let me talk.
“What do you want to try next?”
She looked around. There was nothing in particular that she wanted to go on, but he already said he was going to take her around all day. After a while, she thought of something and was about to tell him.
“Do you want to go on the Ferris wheel?”
Her face turned pale and she wanted to shake her head.
“Let’s go. I’ll buy the tickets.”
He went to get the tickets without her permission again. She just stood where she was helplessly. Because she sat on the Ferris wheel by herself last time, she felt sad and miserable all by herself too.
It was already quite hard for her to accept coming to the amusement park, much less go on the Ferris wheel.
Moreover, he was definitely not going to accompany her. She was going to have to go alone.
In the midst of this, Yuchi Yishu returned with two tickets in his hand.
“Let’s go.”
She thought it was a bit strange to see two tickets.
“You’re going with me, Yishu?”
“Is that not okay?”
She shook her head. “It’s okay. I just didn’t expect you to come with me.”
“It wasn’t convenient for me to go on the merry-go-round because there were only kids there. The Ferris wheel is different, though. We can sit up there. They’re checking the tickets upfront. Let’s go.”
Since he joined her, she did not feel so down anymore.
At least this time around, she did not have to sit up there by herself and watch the person she liked with someone else.
After they got their tickets checked, they went up the Ferris wheel.
Quite a few adults brought their young children to the Ferris wheel. There were also a ton of couples. The people standing in front and behind them were two pairs of young lovebirds.
Once they got on the Ferris wheel, Tang Yuanyuan sat down nervously. Yuchi Yishu noticed that her palms were sweaty and a look of pain flashed across his eyes. He gripped her hand and asked calmly, “Nervous?”
“N-No.”
She was not really nervous. When she came up by herself for the first time, she just sat in a daze until the round ended and left.
When the Ferris wheel was slowly heading upward, Yuchi Yishu took out his phone in an attempt to ease Tang Yuanyuan’s nerves. “Do you want to take a picture? I can help you.”
She nodded. “Sure.”
He opened his camera and took a few pictures of her. Her expression and pose were slightly stiff. She was not happy with the few that were taken and erased all of them to take more.
After that, she suddenly made a suggestion. “Yishu, do you want to take a picture together?”
“Sure.”
She lifted her phone. “Use mine.”
She opened a popular beautifying camera. Apparently, that camera could smoothen people’s skin, and edit pictures automatically. She only downloaded it because she was forced to so she had not used it before.
I can try it out today.
When he saw her opening a pink app on her phone, he squinted his eyes and asked, “What’s that?”
“It’s a camera app.”
She turned on the special effects and picked a few cute pictures. Once she was done, a pair of cute cat ears appeared over their faces on the screen. There was also a small mustache on the side of their faces.
Their appearances became livelier and cuter in an instant.
“Oh, so that’s how it works,” she exclaimed. Apart from her, Yuchi Yishu was also surprised.
“It’s quite cute.”
The two of them looked into the lens and snapped a picture. Then, they picked a few other ones that were funny or retro-themed and continued to take more pictures.
In a blink of an eye, the Ferris wheel was nearing the peak.
Yuchi Yishu’s eyes grew deeper, and he suddenly asked, “Do you know what will happen when you close your eyes at the peak of the Ferris wheel?”
Dumbfounded, she turned around and heard him say, “Close your eyes, Yuanyuan.”
At that moment, his eyes were bright—brighter than the stars in the sky. His deep voice was enticing and seemed to be able to move a person’s heart. Tang Yuanyuan listened to him and closed her eyes.
