On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Su Yuqing felt that at that moment, in addition to some unprecedented contact, there might even have been some important words that were about to reach her ears. She was filled with joy and anticipation, but also with a sense of helplessness and fear.

She longed to hear it, yet also didn't want to hear it.

Because of those words she longed for, she hoped to save them for herself to tell him at the right opportunity.

Chen Mo's words came at just the right time, allowing the two to break free from the almost stalemate of their ambiguous relationship and giving them some breathing room.

Chen Mo's voice was slightly lower than usual, with a hint of hoarseness and gentleness that was barely perceptible.

When Su Yuqing heard him say that making a wish at this time could make it come true, she decided to believe it rather than not.

She immediately clasped her hands together and began to silently make a wish in her heart.

It was a simple, beautiful wish.

She used to be more restrained with herself and would extend kindness to others.

But this time, she hopes that this wish can be fulfilled for herself.

It's only natural to be selfish once in a while.

"What did you wish for?" Chen Mo asked, smiling at her.

"I won't tell you." Su Yuqing had just finished speaking when she suddenly smiled slyly and changed her mind, "I'll tell you when my wish comes true."

Hearing her say that, even without asking, Chen Mo could guess the answer pretty accurately.

"If I want to know, then I have to wish you that your wish comes true. So my wish is that Su Yuqing's wish can come true." Chen Mo smiled and made a wish as well.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuqing suddenly looked at Chen Mo with deep affection in her eyes.

But she quickly looked away shyly, saying, "Then I wish your wish comes true."

Chen Mo smiled and extended his palm. Su Yuqing caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye and gently covered his palm with hers, as if she were stamping a mark.

After a brief pause at the highest point, the cabin began a smooth and slow descent.

The sudden shift from stillness to motion brought a particularly strong sense of weightlessness, especially as she moved from a high place to a low one. Su Yuqing subconsciously let out a soft "ah," and her body tilted slightly toward Chen Mo beside her due to inertia.

Almost at the same time, Chen Mo also moved.

Without the slightest hesitation, he reached out his arm, his warm palm gently and carefully taking Su Yuqing's arm that was closest to him through the thin fabric of her clothes.

For a moment, both of them froze.

Normally, neither of them would mind this kind of contact.

However, having just experienced a state of almost breaking the boundary but not quite, neither of them could quite grasp what the other was thinking. Coupled with their helplessness regarding breaking the boundary of contact, they were both instantly at a loss.

Su Yuqing felt as if she had been frozen in place, and the heat that had just subsided suddenly swept over her body again, even more intensely than when she was running in the sunlight.

The touch on her arm sent a clear, burning heat through her clothes; the heat seemed to have a life of its own, quickly spreading to every part of her body, leaving her mind blank and almost unable to think.

Her heart pounded violently, each beat striking her chest, so loudly that she suspected Chen Mo could hear it too.

She could feel the strength of his hand—firm, steady, full of protectiveness, yet with a tenderness that was almost precious.

This touch is several times more intimate than fingertips brushing through hair or the back of a hand gently rubbing.

She even forgot to get up, remaining stiffly against him, her nostrils filled with his pleasant scent, as if the air itself was thick with a sweet, intoxicating aroma. Chen Mo's heart pounded in his chest in response.

The girl's body temperature through her clothes, the soft touch of her slender arms, and her faint, sweet fragrance were all clearly perceived by all the senses at this moment.

The longing that had been suppressed in his heart since the haunted house, and that had been brewing and fermenting in the Ferris wheel but was forcibly suppressed, was almost about to break free again under the catalysis of this small weightless interlude and his body's instinctive approach.

He forced himself to remain calm, trying his best to keep his arm around her. He didn't even dare to turn his head to look at Su Yuqing's expression at that moment, for fear that if he looked at her, he would lose control of the surging emotions inside him.

Do something to those two unguarded red lips.

And so, one leaned stiffly against the other, while the other steadfastly supported them, maintaining this unusually intimate posture.

Time seemed to become viscous and long during this descent, yet it also seemed to pass in an instant.

They didn't speak again, nor did they dare to look each other in the eye.

The only sounds in the cabin were the two people's entangled, slightly rapid breathing, intertwined like a silent yet deafening symphony.

Outside the window, the ground became clearer and clearer. The spires of the amusement park castle, the green of the treetops, and the bustling crowds came into view again. The colorful hues they saw now were like the blush on their beloved's face, reflecting the budding but overwhelming feelings in their hearts.

The cockpit finally landed smoothly, and the slight tremor brought them back to their senses.

With a soft click, the door lock signaled that the staff were about to open the hatch from the outside.

Almost as if she had been electrocuted, Su Yuqing sat up abruptly and quickly and subtly pulled her arm away from Chen Mo's grasp.

Chen Mo quickly withdrew his hand and naturally placed it back on his knee, his fingertips still retaining the soft touch of the girl's arm and her burning heat.

The hatch opened, and the bright sunshine and the clamor of the outside world rushed in instantly.

Chen Mo stood up, his face regaining its usual gentle composure, and smiled as he extended his hand to Su Yuqing: "Let's go?"

It was as if those long and thrilling ten minutes had never happened.

At this moment, the shyness in Su Yuqing's heart was replaced by a more surging emotion—a sweet, overflowing feeling called being moved, almost to the point of overflowing.

Stepping out of the cockpit and back onto the ground, Su Yuqing still felt a little lightheaded.

Chen Mo stood beside her and naturally reached out to protect her back again, helping her avoid the crowded people.

This time, Su Yuqing didn't shy away as she had before.

She turned her head slightly to look at Chen Mo, and met his gaze.

The playfulness in his eyes was gone, replaced by a clear, reassuring smile, and a hint of unspoken affection that she could understand.

Looking back at the slowly turning cabin of the Ferris wheel, the lingering beauty, the silent excitement, and the intense emotions that were clearly perceived for the first time were all sealed inside that cabin.

As it slowly rose into the air again, Su Yuqing felt as if she and Chen Mo were sitting inside it.

Not far away, Zhao Yueyue was excitedly waving and calling out Huang Maoxing's name, shattering the pink bubble that had just gathered in Su Yuqing's mind and then instantly dissipated.

"I just saw you two hugging," Zhao Yueyue said with a sly smile as she approached the two of them.

As she spoke, she took out her phone, which didn't have a high-resolution camera, and showed a remarkably clear photo: a sweet scene of Su Yuqing lying in Chen Mo's arms, being gently held by him inside a Ferris wheel cabin. (End of Chapter)
