Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

As the Ferris wheel slowly ascended, the crowds and lights on the ground gradually shrank, and the sunset outside the window dyed the sky like a piece of pinkish-orange candy.

Liu Yunshu peered out the window at the scenery, the blue crystal hair clip on the side of her hair sparkling in the setting sun.

"We're almost at the top!" Liu Yunshu suddenly turned her head and met Shen Shiyan's gentle eyes. He wasn't looking at the scenery at all; he had been staring at her the whole time.

Before she could react, Shen Shiyan reached out and grabbed the back of her neck, and just as the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, he lowered his head and kissed her.

The cabin was quiet, with only the sound of their intertwined breathing.

Liu Yunshu's fingertips unconsciously tightened around his clothes, and the stray hairs in her hair brushed against his cheek, along with the cool touch of the blue crystal, all of which became part of the sweetness of the kiss.

When their breaths became slightly rapid from the kiss, Shen Shiyan gently pulled away, his forehead resting against hers, his fingertips tracing her flushed lips: "Now, we can be together forever."

She lightly touched Shen Shiyan's lips with her fingertips, her voice as soft as cotton candy: "Brother, were you waiting for this moment?"

Shen Shiyan chuckled softly, reached out and pulled her closer to his chest, letting her lean on his shoulder.

"Yes, I've been waiting ever since you told me about the Ferris wheel legend."

His fingertips gently traced the blue crystal hair clip on the side of her hair. "After all, I want to do everything that can be related to you 'forever'."

The two took a photo together inside the Ferris wheel, cheek to cheek, and then posted it on their WeChat Moments.

Liu Yunshu rushed to edit the caption for her WeChat Moments post, her fingers flying across the screen: "With my moon, we'll lock in eternity at the highest point."

The accompanying photo is of them with their foreheads touching, the blue crystal in her hair and the silver chain on his wrist framed together in the sunset, even the reflection of the sunset on the cockpit window exudes sweetness.

Shen Shiyan leaned closer to her to look, reached out and changed "moon" in the text to "exclusive moon" for her, added a heart emoji, and then clicked send.

As soon as they put down their phones, both of their phones started ringing incessantly.

Liu's mother and Shen's mother called at the same time. Liu Yunshu and Shen Shiyan exchanged a glance and answered the phone at the same time.

"mom?"

"Yun Shu, are you dating Shi Yan?"

"Ayan, are you dating Yunshu?"

Liu Yunshu's fingers tightened around her phone, her cheeks flushed instantly, and she subconsciously moved closer to Shen Shiyan.

Shen Shiyan put his arm around her shoulder and spoke softly to his mother on his phone, "Mom, Yun Shu and I are together now."

Liu Yunshu whispered to her mother on the other end of the phone, "Mom, yes... we're together."

After a two-second pause, Liu's mother on the other end of the phone laughed, her tone full of understanding: "I knew you two were always inseparable when you were little, you'd definitely have something going for you when you grow up! Shi Yan is a thoughtful child, I don't mind you being with him."

"Don't worry! I'm not at ease, my Yunshu baby! How could she be taken advantage of by a pig after just going to college! That hateful Shen Shiyan!" Liu's father's heartbroken voice came from the phone.

Hearing her father's voice, Liu Yunshu chuckled and pouted into the phone, "Dad~ What do you mean by 'pig stealing cabbage'? I was the one who actively 'kidnapped' my brother!"

"Sweetie, don't mind your dad, Mom supports you! When you're on holiday, bring Shiyan home for dinner, and Mom will make your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs." Liu's mother's voice, filled with laughter, came through the receiver.

"Baby, you absolutely mustn't believe a man's lies..."

"Beep beep beep..."

Before Liu's father could finish speaking, Liu's mother ruthlessly hung up on him.

Liu Yunshu held up her phone and laughed non-stop, then turned her head and met the tenderness in Shen Shiyan's eyes.

He softly replied to his mother on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I'll definitely bring Yunshu home during the holiday."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Shiyan looked at Liu Yunshu, whose eyes were crinkling with laughter, and reached out to pinch her flushed cheeks.

"You just dared to tell Auntie you'd 'kidnap' me, so why are you laughing like this the moment you hear Uncle's voice?"

"My dad is just too adorable!" Liu Yunshu waved her phone, looking at Shen Shiyan with a mischievous grin. "My dad told me not to believe men's lies."

Shen Shiyan chuckled softly upon hearing this, reaching out to pull her closer, his fingertips gently brushing against the tip of her nose: "So, do you believe me or not?"

Liu Yunshu deliberately tilted her head and thought for a moment, then reached out and grabbed the silver chain on his wrist and shook it.

I believe half of it—I believe my brother's "forever," but I don't believe he would be willing to bully me.

The two were strolling in the amusement park when they ran into Zhang Qi and her friends as soon as they turned a corner.

Zhang Qi, with her sharp eyes, waved her cotton candy from afar and shouted, "Yun Shu! Shen Xue Shen!"

Upon hearing the sound, Liu Yunshu immediately pulled Shen Shiyan and waved to Zhang Qi.

As they got closer, Zhang Qi stared at their clasped hands, then glanced at Liu Yunshu's new clothes and the gardenia brooch on her collar, and smiled mischievously.

"Hey, with that 'stars and moon' outfit, looks like you had a lot of fun last night?"

Liu Yunshu's cheeks flushed, and she reached out to pinch Zhang Qi's arm: "Don't talk nonsense! We just... we just made aromatherapy and watched a movie together."

Lin Weiwei crossed her arms and deliberately dragged out her words: "Oh? Just doing aromatherapy while watching a movie?" Su Xiao stood to the side, covering her mouth and chuckling.

"If you keep laughing at me, I won't talk to you anymore!" Liu Yunshu's cheeks turned as red as ripe peaches, and she reached out to hide behind Shen Shiyan.

Seeing this, Shen Shiyan naturally shielded Liu Yunshu behind him.

He reached out and gently tidied her wind-blown hair, then spoke softly to Zhang Qi and the others, "Don't tease her, she's easily embarrassed."

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding. We're going to the haunted house, do you guys want to come?"

"A haunted house?" Liu Yunshu's eyes lit up, and she excitedly peeked out from behind Shen Shiyan: "I want to go!"

A dark, haunted house is perfect for doing bad things!

The haunted house was dimly lit, and a cold wind carrying eerie sound effects swept over you.

They had only taken two steps when a disheveled "ghost" suddenly darted out from the corner, causing Zhang Qi and the others to scream instantly.

"Xiao Ba, help me find a blind spot in the surveillance footage."

Alright~

"Don't be afraid, it's fake." Shen Shiyan whispered in her ear, the warmth of his palm passing through his fingertips.

"With my brother here, I'm not afraid."

No sooner had they finished speaking than a "zombie" suddenly rushed out from around the corner ahead, and Zhang Qi and Lin Weiwei's screams nearly lifted the roof off.

The group was quickly separated by the crowd. Liu Yunshu took the opportunity to grab Shen Shiyan's hand and head in the direction Xiao Ba had indicated.

Liu Yunshu gripped Shen Shiyan's hand and burrowed into the shadows, her fingertips rubbing against his palm as she said, "Brother, it's so dark here."

Despite saying that, he didn't stop walking until he hid in a corner filled with prop boxes.

There was indeed very little light here, with only a faint glow coming through from the emergency light at the end of the corridor.

As soon as Shen Shiyan stood up, she grabbed his arm and pressed him against the prop box.

The little girl tiptoed closer, her blue crystal hair clip brushing against his chin, sending a cool, ticklish sensation through him: "You kissed me so gently on the Ferris wheel just now, brother."

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He reached out and put his hand around her waist, knowing she was about to act up again, but still went along with her and asked, "So what do you want now?"

"I want..." Liu Yunshu deliberately dragged out her words, her fingertips lightly tracing the buttons of his shirt, "I want my brother to kiss me again—even harder than before."

Before she finished speaking, she took the initiative to move closer.

Shen Shiyan took the initiative, reaching out to support the back of her neck and pulling her even closer to his chest.

The corner was so quiet that they could hear each other's heartbeats, and the faint screams and footsteps in the distance became the background noise of the kiss.

"Brother, I brought my little green plum!"

"Mmm, Yunshu's green plums are still the best."

"Brother, if we hide here, won't the ghosts find us?"

"Heh~ Now you're scared? Okay, relax a bit~"

"Hmm~ I'm not afraid~ With my brother here... Yun Shu isn't afraid of anything!"

Zhang Qi and his two companions ran amok in the haunted house, terrified out of their wits.

After finally escaping the haunted house, Zhang Qi leaned against the wall, panting heavily. Lin Weiwei and Su Xiao were also pale-faced, their cotton candies crumpled in their hands.

"Phew...that scared me to death!" Zhang Qi patted his chest, then suddenly remembered something and turned his head sharply.

"Hey? Where are Yun Shu and Shen Xue Shen? We haven't seen them since we were separated in the commotion!"

Lin Weiwei took out her phone and waved it: "I just sent a message but no one replied, and no one answered the phone either. Could they be lost inside?"

Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and came to her senses. "With Shen Xue Shen here, everything should be fine."

Zhang Qi rubbed his stiff cheeks and put his arms around Lin Weiwei and Su Xiao's shoulders.

"Let's go! Let's buy some milk tea to calm our nerves! Once they contact us, we'll have Shen the academic god treat us. After all, stealing our dorm's darling is bound to cost us a lot!"

The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked toward the milk tea shop.

Inside the haunted house, Shen Shiyan helped Liu Yunshu, whose legs were weak, walk out.

"See if you dare to act up again next time!"

"Don't you like it, brother? It's so exciting!" Liu Yunshu leaned against Shen Shiyan's chest, her eyes still flushed with a charming blush.

Shen Shiyan looked down at her soft, cuddly figure nestled in his arms, gently pinching her reddened earlobe with his fingertips, his tone full of helpless indulgence.

"I like it, but don't cause trouble in places like this next time. What if someone sees you..."

Liu Yunshu snorted, but obediently reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face in his neck and rubbing against him.

"I won't get caught; I found the most secluded spot."

As she spoke, she looked up and gently nuzzled his chin with the tip of her nose. "Besides... with my brother protecting me, I'm not afraid even if we get caught."

The two slowly walked out of the haunted house. The evening breeze was a bit chilly, causing Liu Yunshu to shiver slightly.

Shen Shiyan immediately took off his coat and wrapped it around her, using his fingertips to gather her collar, just enough to cover the faint red marks on the side of her neck.

"You just sweated inside, don't catch a cold."

Inside the haunted house, a tourist, chased by a ghost, ran into a corner in a panic and slipped on the water on the ground.

He was instantly grabbed by the ghost behind him, and screamed in fright, "Damn it! Who poured this water?! And so much of it!"

Unlucky tourist: ~(TロT)σ Don't leave after school!
