This amusement park had even replaced the Ferris wheel.
An Ling could only sigh that after development even entertainment had grown bigger along with it.
Looking at the Ferris wheel in front of her, nearly thirty stories tall, it was several times bigger than the one in her memory.
Standing underneath it, An Ling was a little scared.
She knew the Ferris wheel was safe, but every time the cabin rose high, a strong wind would blow past and the whole car would sway.
And every time that happened An Ling’s heart would race.
She wouldn’t dare keep looking down until they reached a safe height.
Of course Li Yang, who had known An Ling since they were little, knew this too.
It would be more accurate to say that it was precisely because he knew this that he had brought An Ling to ride this even bigger Ferris wheel.
Li Yang even felt he was being pretty despicable.
When the time came An Ling would definitely tremble with fear.
Then he would only need to pull her into his arms, comfort her a little, and confess directly while her heart was racing.
With his understanding of An Ling, he would most likely take her down outright.
If that really didn’t work he still had Plan B.
In any case, today he absolutely would not let her escape from his palm.
“Hey, hey, hey! Li Yang? We’re almost there.” An Ling pulled him back from his beautiful dream.
“Um, are you scared too? If it really doesn’t work we don’t have to ride it. How about we go play whack-a-mole a little more?” An Ling said.
“How would that work? This Ferris wheel is a must-ride attraction of this amusement park. If we don’t go up, half the ticket money would be wasted.”
“Fine.” An Ling couldn’t only think of herself.
The ticket money had been paid by Li Yang.
Even if it was just to keep him company, An Ling would go up.
“If you’re scared, once we’re up you can keep hugging me the whole time.”
“I will not!” An Ling angrily puffed up her cheeks to express her dissatisfaction.
Li Yang smiled and pushed her to the ticket check.
After the staff scanned the QR code on the tickets, the two of them were let in.
Li Yang’s movements were a little impatient.
An Ling, on the other hand, shrank back timidly.
The two of them boarded a pink cabin together.
“Well? If you’re still scared you can come over.” Li Yang opened his arms toward the girl.
“No need, okay…?” An Ling was a little tempted, but to maintain her last bit of dignity she still chose to sit across from him.
The Ferris wheel began to rise slowly.
The machine starting, the balance of the big disc, and the afternoon wind made the cabin sway slightly.
The height still wasn’t very high, still within the range An Ling could accept, so she obediently looked out the window.
She looked extremely well-behaved.
But her tail gave her away.
That fluffy tail was wrapped tightly around her own leg.
Her ears were also pressed slightly back.
“Sure you won’t come over? There’ll be a price if you come later.” Li Yang asked again.
“No.” An Ling shook her head.
She believed she could hold on.
This didn’t look that high anyway.
Li Yang wasn’t in a hurry either.
Anyway, once they reached the highest point this little creature would naturally throw herself over.
They still hadn’t risen even halfway, but the people on the ground and the amusement park buildings were getting smaller and smaller.
“People got so small. Like ants.” An Ling couldn’t help saying.
“Is it really okay to say such chuuni lines?”
“Tch.” An Ling rolled her eyes at him.
As if she didn’t know who the bigger chuuni was.
“Look over there.” Li Yang pointed in a direction. “You can see Central Street from there.”
An Ling leaned over, her butt lifting slightly off the seat.
“It’s true. Before you could only see it at the highest point, right?”
“Look. The people over there aren’t even as big as ants.”
The two of them discussed together what kind of bugs were that small.
“You think, that bank building is built so tall. What’s on the floors up there?”
“Don’t know. Maybe some companies that rented the floors.”
The Ferris wheel continued to rise and had already reached a high point.
The wind suddenly grew stronger.
The cabin’s swaying was much more obvious than before.
An Ling’s whole body froze.
Her ears plastered tightly to her head.
Her tail tucked in as well.
She had just been chatting with Li Yang to distract herself.
The sudden sway left her completely unprepared.
Li Yang knew the moment had arrived.
He suddenly leaned back in the direction of the sway.
The cabin rocked again because he had shifted his center of gravity.
An Ling suddenly saw the very bottom.
That twenty-story height.
She was so scared she slammed her eyes shut and grabbed wildly forward with both hands.
She just happened to grab Li Yang’s clothes.
Then she felt herself wrapped in a warm embrace.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m here.” Li Yang’s voice came from above her head.
An Ling opened her eyes and discovered that at some point she had already been pulled into Li Yang’s arms.
Her face was against his chest.
She could hear his strong heartbeat.
“You… when did you pull me over? I… I… I’ll tell on you!”
“You were clearly the one who threw yourself over when you got scared. You’re the villain filing the complaint first.”
An Ling looked back.
It really did seem like she had run into Li Yang’s arms.
Li Yang saw that the plan had succeeded.
One hand circled her waist.
The other gently stroked her hair and ears.
Normally speaking, An Ling should have shoved him away right now, then talked tough while finding some excuse, then sat back down with a red face.
But the cabin would still sway.
There would still be another gust of wind.
Li Yang’s embrace was so comfortable.
It drew her in like magic.
She didn’t want to let go of the magic, so she also didn’t want to leave Li Yang’s arms.
The Ferris wheel reached the highest point.
The cabin paused.
The scenery outside the window reached its most beautiful state in that moment.
The sky was split into a gradient of mixed blue, orange, and red.
The whole city was dyed orange-red by the sunset.
“An Ling.” Li Yang suddenly called her name.
An Ling’s gaze returned from the horizon to his face.
His face had also been dyed with the color of the sunset.
“I have something I want to say to you.”
An Ling’s heartbeat suddenly sped up.
Faster than when they had ridden the roller coaster.
So fast she felt her heart was going to jump out of her throat.
She seemed to have guessed it.
Guessed it early.
She wasn’t certain, but she had been looking forward to it.
Because she had been looking forward to it, she had come to the amusement park with him.
Because of that she had ridden the Ferris wheel with him even though she was scared.
“Mm.” She answered in a small voice.
Li Yang drew a deep breath.
He looked at the girl in his arms.
He looked at how beautiful she was in this moment.
Time seemed to have walked so far.
Walked for so very long and then walked back into his arms.
He had originally prepared a lot of pretty words.
He had planned to laugh it off and confess half-jokingly.
But when it actually came to this moment, those words wouldn’t come out instead.
“An Ling, I really want to be able to see you every single day after this. To achieve that goal, will you be my girlfriend?”
An Ling froze.
Even though she had already guessed what Li Yang was going to say, when she actually heard it her brain still went buzz and turned blank.
That’s cheating.
She still hadn’t fully accepted a girl’s identity.
He had only learned her secret such a short time ago.
Confessing this fast was too much of a foul.
But how could she refuse.
If it were anyone else, she couldn’t have accepted it.
She would even have run away the instant her identity was exposed.
But he was Li Yang.
She had already long since been unable to leave him.
“No answer means you default to yes,” Li Yang said.
“Don’t!” An Ling shook her head.
There was too much happiness.
It overflowed from her eyes.
“Hey, don’t cry.” Li Yang reached out and wiped the teardrops from her face.
“I don’t want a default! That’s cheating!” An Ling scrunched her little face, but she continued, “I want to answer you myself, you jerk!”
“I agree!”
