Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

His face immediately darkened, and when he poked his head out of the fitting room, he met the gaze of the smiling Ellie.

Thankfully, no staff member was around, or he would have been utterly humiliated.

Nangong Yu didn't reply, but just kept walking forward. He wasn't really angry, but just wanted to teach this increasingly mischievous fairy a little lesson. Besides, Sister Ai Li's appearance was quite interesting, and he wanted to watch her for a while longer.

"Waaaah, if Ayu ignores me again, I'm going to cry!"

The pitiful voice made Nangong Yu pause for a moment, but she still didn't turn around.

"If Ayu stops and turns around now, Sister Aili will give Ayu a reward~"

When feigning distress failed, Ellie tried to bribe her, but to no avail.

Looking at the figure in front of her, Ellie paused, her tone suddenly turning serious as she called out, "Ayu!"

Nangong Yu, who was already on the verge of collapse, immediately stopped and turned around upon hearing this stern voice.

He just wanted to teach Ellie a small lesson, but it wouldn't be good if it really made her sad.

"What's wrong... um."

Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes widened completely.

The sun had already set behind the horizon, and the orange-red sunset was burning across the sky. The leaves on the trees around him were covered with a layer of golden gauze, rustling in the breeze. In the distant lake, the reflection of the town, bathed in golden light, rippled gently, just like his state of mind at that moment.

Her pink pupils were so close, like a flawless crystal, through which his reflection could be clearly seen. The pleasant fragrance of flowers enveloped his body, and his thoughts were immersed in the gentleness of Alicia. It was as if the world consisted only of the two of them.

Unfortunately, it wasn't long before Ellie stepped back. The glow of the setting sun shone on her. Facing the rain, she put her hands behind her back, bent slightly, and raised her slightly flushed cheeks, her pink eyes meeting those dark eyes.

A soft, almost ethereal moan escaped her lips: "Ah Yu, are you satisfied with this reward?"

"......satisfy."

Even though he had done everything else, he was still captivated by this little kiss.

"Hehe~"

She hugged him affectionately and pressed herself tightly against him: "Ah Yu was so mean just now, he's even learned to bully Sister Ai Li now."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yu was immediately speechless: "Wasn't it Sister Aili who started this whole thing, trying to make me wear a miniskirt? How embarrassing would it be if others saw it?"

"no!"

"?"

"I deliberately sent the sales clerk away, just so she wouldn't see you."

After saying that, Ellie continued, "Does Ayu want others to see me wearing a miniskirt?"

"That won't do!" he replied without hesitation, frowning.

Upon hearing this, Sister Aili immediately laughed: "So, that version of Ayu is mine, and no one else is allowed to see her!!"

"......"

Looking at Ellie's serious little face, Nangong Yu was somewhat confused by this strange possessiveness.

At that moment, a small park in front of them caught their attention.

There's nothing special about it, except that there's a Ferris wheel in the middle that's about ten meters tall.

No, at over ten meters tall, it doesn't really deserve to be called a Ferris wheel anymore; it looks more like a big toy for kids.

"I want to play this!!"

Pointing to the small Ferris wheel, Sister Ellie said excitedly.

"Let's go then."

Shrugging, Nangong Yu led her over without hesitation.

It's nothing. She wanted to go to the children's playground to play in the sand before, and Nangong Yu couldn't stop her.

The small Ferris wheel looks a bit old, but fortunately, it's still running.

At the ticket booth below, an elderly woman smiled and asked a couple as they approached, "Would you like a ride?"

"Yes, the two of us."

He handed her a banknote, and the old lady smiled and gave him change.

It's quite cheap, only the price of two bottles of drinks.

Then they watched as the old woman stood up from her chair and slowly walked into a small room next door.

Soon, the little Ferris wheel lit up, and the old lady went to the bottommost car, took out her key, and opened the door for them.

"Don't worry, although my Ferris wheel looks old, someone comes to maintain it every week, so there's no need to worry about safety."

Nangong Yu believed her, because although the exterior looked old, the interior of the car was quite clean and tidy, clearly indicating that it was cleaned regularly.

"Then I'll have to trouble Grandma."

She said sweetly, and Ellie couldn't wait to pull him up and sit down.

Soon, Nangong Yu secured the door from the inside with a latch. After the old lady confirmed that everything was alright, she pressed a button next to her.

brush!

Accompanied by the sound of the motor running, the small Ferris wheel slowly began to rotate.

The two sat side by side, leaning against each other. The lively Ellie became quiet at this moment, watching the world outside the carriage together.

Before long, the carriages were taller than the trees in the park. The town had almost no particularly tall buildings, so they had an unobstructed view.

"That's where we live, and that path where you carried me around yesterday~"

Pointing to the places where footprints were left, Ellie said happily.

"That lawn is the one where you held me and took a nap, right, Sister Ellie? It was such a comfortable afternoon."

"If you like, Ellie will give you a lap pillow tonight~"

As the mini Ferris wheel slowly rose higher, the two laughed and reminisced about the events of the past few days.

As they neared their peak, their conversation slowed down somewhat, and Nangong Yu remarked, "Traveling is indeed a very interesting thing!"

"Right, right~"

Upon hearing his voice, Ellie responded with a cheerful tone, "You finally understand."

"but......"

As if remembering something, Nangong Yu's smile faded slightly: "Traveling is your dream, Sister Aili, right?"

"Hmm~"

Ellie did not deny it.

"Then... if we just keep Ellie by my side like this, and only have occasional opportunities like this to travel together, will that be...?"

He didn't say anything more, but Ellie understood what he meant.

Soon, she put on a stern face, reached out and pinched his cheeks with both hands, pulling hard.

"Ah, write (Sister Aili)?"

Ignoring what he was saying, Ellie tugged at him a few more times before finally giving up. Looking at him seriously, she said, "Don't say those kinds of things again."

Then, Ellie grasped his hand, interlocking her fingers tightly, and leaned against him. Her pink eyes looked at him, and her voice was slow yet firm, carrying an indescribable tenderness that could almost melt Nangong Yu's heart.

"Ah Yu, you need to know..."

He paused for a moment, and then the brightest smile he had ever seen bloomed on Ellie's face.

Every day I spend with you is more meaningful than any of my dreams.

Chapter 226 Sister Aponia?

"Sister Ellie?"

Leaving the simple town full of memories, the two traveled to their second stop, a rather bustling city.

As Nangong Yu was walking down the street, just as she was about to say something, she suddenly realized that her sister Aili had disappeared.

Turning around in confusion, he saw that his sister, Ellie, who had been walking beside him, was now standing in front of a shop window. Curious, he walked over and immediately saw a ring with a pink gemstone lying quietly on the display stand in the window.

Ellie braced her hands against the glass, gazing at the ring with a hint of longing in her eyes.

Noticing Nangong Yu approaching, she grabbed his arm before he could speak, saying happily, "Let's go, let's go, Yu, there are still so many places we want to visit!"

"......Um."

The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. He followed Ellie's movements and walked forward with her. He looked back at the ring again, and perhaps because he was not paying attention, his shoulder suddenly bumped into a passerby.

"Feel sorry."

I instinctively apologized, and soon heard a somewhat annoyed voice: "Aren't you watching where you're going?"

Coming to his senses, Nangong Yu noticed a female passerby he couldn't even be bothered to remember, who was glaring at him angrily, especially when she saw Sister Aili clinging to his arm; her eyes were filled with intense jealousy.

Nangong Yu had seen plenty of people like this. He hadn't noticed when he bumped into her; it was probably just a light pat, a trivial matter. He even apologized first. Seeing that the woman still wanted to argue, Nangong Yu simply ignored her and left with Sister Aili.

"Humph!"

With an annoyed snort, the random woman who Nangong Yu couldn't remember looked at tried to pull her lover away, but suddenly noticed his gaze following Nangong Yu and the other woman as they left.

"Still watching!"

She gave him a sudden tug, causing the man to awkwardly look away.

"I just felt that person looked somewhat familiar."

He said that Nangong Yu looked somewhat familiar, but the woman naturally interpreted it as him looking familiar with Aili, which immediately made her furious.

"Just because she's a woman doesn't mean she looks familiar. She's just a little pretty, who knows what she's thinking? Let's go, you promised to buy me a ring today!"

Speaking of this, the female passerby had a hint of smugness in her tone. So what if she's good-looking? She's just a poor guy who can't even afford a ring. She clearly saw Ellie standing in front of the cabinet with that longing look on her face.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Knowing that any explanation would be wrong at this point, the man said with a hint of helplessness.

On the other side, Nangong Yu quickly put this little incident behind her. She hadn't gone far when she pointed to a restroom not far away and said, "Sister Ai Li, wait for me. I'm going to the restroom."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here. Hurry back!"
