A god-level beauty system? But I'm already a god-level beauty!

Q: What are the three most popular dating spots?

A: The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, the Beijing Subway, and the Red Well in Tokyo.

—Of course, this is a joke circulating online.

But at this moment, Shen Ye felt that the value of this joke was still increasing.

Because the line in front of us was so long it seemed to stretch on forever.

At the entrance to the Ferris wheel, the winding barriers were packed with people. Families, couples, and a group of chattering middle school students filled the area, and the line moved forward at a snail's pace.

"Why are there so many people...?"

Chu Cihan tiptoed and looked around, then tiptoed again and looked around once more.

His brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

There are so many tourists wanting to ride the Ferris wheel at this time.

After all, who wouldn't want to watch a complete sunset from the highest point of a Ferris wheel?

Especially today, with the clear skies and the clouds on the horizon half-burnt by the setting sun, layer upon layer of orange-red, it's the perfect weather for a confession.

confession.

Thinking of those two words, Chu Cihan's ears secretly warmed up.

If I had known there would be a lot of people, I should have come earlier to queue.

At this rate, by the time it's their turn, it'll probably be completely dark.

She couldn't see the sunset, and all the plans she had been working on for half a month were ruined.

But there's no use in being anxious.

You still have to wait in line.

Chu Cihan could only obediently stand back in the line, twisting her skirt with her hands, silently praying in her heart—

Ferris wheel, Ferris wheel, please spin faster, faster!

Whether it was her prayers that worked or fate that was in a good mood today, I don't know.

When we finally reached the entrance, the setting sun on the horizon had not yet completely died down.

The clouds burned through the last gap, and a sliver of golden-red light slanted across, falling on the steps leading into the park.

There's one last chance to see the sunset.

"Hurry, hurry!"

Chu Cihan hurriedly grabbed Shen Ye's sleeve, rushed through the ticket gate, and headed straight for the nearest empty cabin.

The staff member smiled and reminded her to slow down, but she ignored him completely.

Throughout the entire process, Shen Ye went along with this impatient young lady.

He would follow when pulled along, and sit down when pressed down, without uttering a sound.

It's not that his temper suddenly improved.

Rather, he knew very well what Chu Cihan's entire arrangement today was for.

From asking him out, to choosing an amusement park, to the pirate ship and the carousel, we played until dusk, and finally, just as the sunset was about to fade, we dragged him to ride the Ferris wheel:

A man and a woman, at dusk, on a Ferris wheel, in the highest cabin.

What else could it be besides that?

"Click".

The hatch was locked from the outside.

There were only the two of them left in the cramped Ferris wheel cabin.

..............

The Ferris wheel slowly started moving.

The car lifted off the ground and rose smoothly, swaying gently as if being gently supported by an invisible hand.

Shen Ye sat to one side, his elbow resting on the windowsill, his head propped up with one hand.

Outside the window, the sky was already slightly dark.

The amusement park lights burst forth in a dazzling array of colors; the carousel glowed a warm yellow, the roller coaster tracks were outlined with neon lights, and even the balloon stalls were enveloped in a red glow.

That's not all.

As altitude increases, the field of vision gradually widens.

Half of the brightly lit city stretched out beneath their feet.

The streets are like glowing rivers, the buildings are like standing star maps, and a few lights from tourist boats float on the river in the distance.

The scenery is indeed beautiful.

Unfortunately, Shen Ye wasn't in the mood to admire the scenery.

His peripheral vision kept lingering on the person opposite him.

Chu Cihan sat opposite him, his back ramrod straight, his hands neatly placed on his knees, his eyes fixed on the night view outside the window, unblinking.

That's too proper.

This young lady is capable of doing anything with him.

The silence, like reciting a text, is actually quite unsettling.

She's making a plan.

Shen Ye knew what was going on.

The person opposite was equally unsettled.

Chu Cihan stared out the window, but actually didn't see anything.

Her heart was in her throat the moment she entered the cabin, and it pounded upwards as the cabin rose.

A pair of beautiful black eyes darted around.

I glanced out the window; it was too high, making me dizzy.

I glanced at Shen Ye; he was leaning on his hand, looking at the scenery with a relaxed expression.

Then she assessed the current altitude of their two-person cabin.

not enough.

not enough.

It needs to be higher...

A little higher.......

The elevator car climbed up one step at a time.

The playground below shrank into a glowing jigsaw puzzle, and the noise was filtered into a muffled buzz by the distance.

The wind seeped in through the gaps in the cabin, carrying the coolness unique to high altitudes.

Finally, the cabin rose to the highest point in the entire amusement park.

There is no place higher than this.

The city lights spread out beneath my feet, and the last rays of sunset streamed in through the clouds, bathing the entire carriage in orange-red light.

It also submerged the boys and girls inside.

Chu Cihan turned her head away.

Shen Ye noticed the commotion and turned around.

The two of them just stared at each other.

The moment their eyes met, Chu Cihan clenched his hands on his knees.

It's coming.

"Shen Ye."

She moved the corners of her mouth and spoke.

My voice was much softer than usual, and I only realized how dry it was when I spoke, so I cleared my throat again.

The boy opposite raised an eyebrow, waiting for what was to come.

But the rest of the text simply disappears.

Chu Cihan had memorized his prepared speech perfectly before boarding the sedan chair, but now he had completely forgotten it.

It's really too much to ask her to do this.

What is Chu Cihan's personality like?

From childhood to adulthood, the words she uttered most frequently were "humph," "whatever," and "who cares."

For her to say those kinds of things to a boy would be far removed from her true nature.

But she also understood that hoping the person opposite her would take the initiative was like hoping money would fall from the sky.

This guy has been pretending to be stupid for so many years, from elementary school until now. Even with a knife to his throat, he can still dodge the topic.

If she doesn't take the initiative, then it'll probably take forever and still not get any results.

"you........"

Chu Cihan opened his mouth.

"Is there anything you'd like to say?"

The words that came out were replaced by this roundabout way of reminding me.

She stared into the boy's eyes, her gaze conveying four clear words: "Speak up, get to the point."

Shen Ye blinked.

Of course he understood.

But he refused to answer.

"Um......."

He looked away and gazed out the window again, speaking casually.

"The scenery here is beautiful."

"....."

"What did you say?"

"I said the scenery is beautiful," Shen Ye pointed out the window, "Look at those lights over there, they're really pretty."

"..."

"Shen Ye!!"

Chu Ci smiled coldly.

You bastard, Shen Ye.

Pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth is wrong. It was one thing in the past, but now that they're riding all over you, you're still pretending!

good good!

You won't tell me, right?

Then I'll speak for you!

"Shen Ye!" She suddenly straightened up.

"Um?"

"Listen to me carefully—"

Chu Cihan took a deep breath.

He took a deep, heavy breath, his chest heaving violently, as if he were trying to force all the timidity he had accumulated over the past ten years into his body.

Then, she suddenly leaned forward, reached through the gap in the middle of the cockpit, and grabbed Shen Ye's hand.

The girl's palm was frighteningly hot.

There was also a thin layer of sweat.

"Shen Ye, I... I command you to be with me! I love you!"

She stared intently into his eyes, uttering each word with deliberate force.

"I've liked it for a long time!"

At the very moment the words were spoken, the last rays of the setting sun faded into the distance.
