Chapter 541: Love Beneath the Ferris Wheel
Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye
Boss Cutie
His heart began to pound along with it, and he was so nervous he could barely stand it.
This was one of the rare times he'd ever felt this way.
"Alright," Little White Dove nodded.
The corners of his mouth curved upward without his meaning them to.
By the time they got on the Ferris Wheel, Sheng Xinyi had planted herself at the far right side.
Her eyes were bright as she looked down at the city below, so delighted she forgot to leave: "It's so pretty."
It was also the first time Little White Dove had ever paid attention to the city's scenery. As the night grew a little darker, the hazy night below, together with the lights of ten thousand homes, entered Little White Dove's memory inch by inch.
"It really is nice," Little White Dove could not help but say as he took out his phone and snapped a photo.
Sheng Xinyi took out her phone too, but under the pretense of taking pictures, she was secretly, sneakily photographing Little White Dove.
Compared to the person she liked right in front of her, the world was insignificant.
At least, that was how Sheng Xinyi felt in her heart.
She liked him more than she liked the whole world.
The reason she thought the scenery was pretty was because the scenery had him in it.
Click. She'd forgotten to turn off the flash, and the light stung Little White Dove's eyes a little.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to turn off the flash. Does your eye hurt?" As she asked anxiously, Sheng Xinyi also hurried to cover up the secret on her phone. Her little face was still flushed, guilty and flustered at once.
"It's nothing, it just stung for a second. I'm a bit unused to it," Little White Dove said, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Sheng Xinyi was still very nervous. Her hand directly touched Little White Dove's skin.
Little White Dove was entranced. He saw her pretty, fair face presented before him in enlarged form.
"Let me blow on it for you~" Sheng Xinyi leaned close, gently blowing on his eye.
Her eyelashes were very long.
Her eyelids were narrow.
Her eyes were very big.
Her skin was very fine and tender.
Her nose bridge was high and straight.
She had peach-blossom lips, which quivered slightly when she was worried.
Her contours were smooth.
Her figure was slender yet full.
Her legs in stockings were long and slim…
Clang…
Little White Dove's face exploded red.
His head was full of strange yellow waste material.
"There, it doesn't hurt now!" To keep even more outrageous thoughts from wandering around in his head, Little White Dove used this as an excuse to interrupt Sheng Xinyi's approach.
Sheng Xinyi felt slightly disappointed, but she wasn't discouraged.
She directly took a bottle of eye drops out of her bag and handed it to Little White Dove.
"Here, sit down, I'll put the drops in for you." Sheng Xinyi smiled faintly. "It's anti-fatigue, but it'll make you feel better."
Little White Dove was pressed down into the chair. Sheng Xinyi bent over to put the drops in for him, which left Little White Dove flattered and startled. He immediately said to Sheng Xinyi, "No need, I can do it myself."
Sheng Xinyi obediently handed the eye drops back to him.
Maintaining that basic sense of propriety would let Little White Dove feel more at ease too.
After Little White Dove put the drops in himself, his eyes really did brighten, and he felt much more comfortable.
But just as the eye drops ran down along his eyelid, and Little White Dove wanted to reach up and catch them, he found that Sheng Xinyi had already taken out a tissue and started wiping his face.
The eye drops were wiped away in an instant, which gave Little White Dove yet another very comfortable feeling.
Little White Dove looked at the beautiful, flawless girl before him, and his gaze grew much gentler, warm as a spring breeze.
Sheng Xinyi turned her back to him, resting both arms on the bar, her little face toward the glass window.
As she watched the Ferris Wheel rise bit by bit, a trace of tenderness rippled in her eyes as well.
"I always thought that one day I had to ride a Ferris Wheel with the person I like."
"And now I've done it."
"I hear that when the Ferris Wheel rises to the very top, you can summon happiness."
After saying all this, Sheng Xinyi looked at Little White Dove: "Senior Chen Ge, I really am happy."
Every word of hers leaped into Little White Dove's heart.
While Little White Dove was still turning them over and over, he found that Sheng Xinyi had already leaned against him.
Under Little White Dove's astonished gaze, she actually kissed Little White Dove on the cheek.
Her lips were very soft, light as a feather, teasing Little White Dove.
Little White Dove was instantly embarrassed, and flustered too.
In the same cabin, with only the two of them, her taking the initiative to kiss him put Little White Dove under enormous pressure.
Little White Dove reflexively stood up on instinct: "Sheng Xinyi, actually I…"
Clang—
He only felt the Ferris Wheel jolt violently.
"Ah—" Sheng Xinyi screamed.
The light that had been shining inside the Ferris Wheel suddenly went dark.
The world was plunged into darkness.
Sheng Xinyi was a little frightened.
Just as her little face went pale, a pair of warm hands instantly shielded her and drew her into an embrace.
Sheng Xinyi's eyelashes trembled.
She could feel the other's hand's warmth.
She could feel his gentleness in protecting her.
His rapid breathing echoed right by her ear.
"Don't be afraid."
Just those two short words were enough to make Sheng Xinyi's face stream with tears.
She gripped the boy holding her tightly, burying her tender body a little deeper into him, piece by piece.
Something had gone wrong with the Ferris Wheel.
An accident had occurred. The power had actually gone out, leaving the Ferris Wheel stopped up in the sky.
Passengers in the other cabins had already collapsed emotionally, or flown into rages, slapping at the glass smack smack smack.
The police had already been dispatched and were trying to figure out a way to get the passengers down safely.
Kai and Old He had been waiting below the whole time, only to discover that an accident had occurred.
"Holy shit!" Old He cursed. "What's gonna happen to Little White Dove!"
"Yeah! Why did it have to happen right now, of all times!" Kai was frantic with worry. He even wanted to charge up there, but the staff held him back.
"You can't go up now!"
"That's my brother up there! How does the power just go out for no reason? If anything happens to my brother, you people at the amusement park are going to be fully responsible!" Kai, who was always so good-tempered, was now completely shouting.
Old He couldn't stay calm either: "You have to get my brother down safely, safe and sound! He must be worried sick up there by now!"
Yet while these two were frantic, they had no idea that the person above was taking it slow and easy, in no rush at all.
Little White Dove was enjoying the soft, fragrant body in his arms.
She was very quiet.
He enjoyed the quiet too, and could feel the girl slowly going from nervous to calm.
"Senior Chen Ge…"
"Hm?" Little White Dove could sense that her voice still carried a tremble.
She'd probably been scared badly.
"We won't be in danger, will we?"
"We won't." Little White Dove stroked Sheng Xinyi's hair to comfort her.
Sheng Xinyi smiled bitterly. She knew danger was close at hand, and no one knew what would happen in a little while.
So she only wanted to seize the moment.
"I don't know if I'll get another chance to say this later, but I don't want to leave any regrets."
"Senior Chen Ge, you think my liking you is just a passing whim, but I want to tell you that my liking you will never change."
"I'm not a person with much perseverance, but after meeting you, I've tried hard to change."
"I think it's not that I like you. It's that I love you."
