Fallen again

"Faster, faster!"

Fu Xingchuan also wanted to go faster, but that would be speeding.

Lin Luo leaned against the window to enjoy the breeze, her hair was blown and her high ponytail swayed with her head.

The Ferris wheel in the distance was lit up in the shape of a heart, and it looked like it was still beating.

"Let's go there!" She pointed at the Ferris wheel and showed it to Fu Xingchuan.

That was the opposite direction of the way home. Fu Xingchuan didn't turn at the intersection. Lin Qi frowned, "I want to go to the Ferris wheel!"

"Don't make trouble. I'm in a hurry now. Let's go another day." Fu Xingchuan said softly.

Lin Xiao was unhappy. She blinked her eyes and tears immediately fell. She cried and said, "I just want to go on the Ferris wheel."

She rarely cries now, and this is the first time Fu Xingchuan has seen her cry since they met again.

His eyes turned red, and Fu Xingchuan softened his heart and slowed down. "Okay, I'll turn around and take you there now."

After entering the cabin, Lin Luo silently looked at the night view of Nan'an below, while Fu Xingchuan sat beside him and drank cold water to cool down.

After sitting in one circle, she wanted to sit in another circle. Fu Xingchuan put a mineral water bottle on her face to cool her down.

Lin Luo took it and held it for herself.

"Do you know when I first rode a Ferris wheel?" Lin Luo asked him.

After their reunion, it seemed like they had never sat so close to talk properly before. Fu Xingchuan followed her words and asked, "When?"

"The summer vacation when I was seventeen."

"That's not..."

"Well, there are seven of us sitting together."

"That was the most wonderful time in my life." Lin Luo choked up a little. "The second time was after Uncle Tang's surgery was successful. The whole family came together. At that time..."

Lin Qiao opened her arms. "They sat next to me, each holding one of my hands, saying 'sorry' and 'thank you.' Tang Muchen is afraid of heights, so he was trembling with fear and hugged my thigh."

Fu Xingchuan clenched his fists and listened to her carefully.

"The third time was with my dad. He came back from abroad and took me on a ride on my birthday. I remember I was very happy because I got to eat the cake Tong Yun sent me and it fulfilled a childhood wish. But I still cried in the end and told my dad, 'I don't blame him.'"

"Later, on the eve of our senior year graduation, Xu Yangyang, Zhu Changyu, Ruan Ye, and I came here once, but you three were absent."

She said as her hand touched the necklace around her neck.

"That time we were going our separate ways again. I was going to Jinghe, Ruan Ye stayed in Nan'an for postgraduate study, Zhu Changyu signed up for the Western Development Program, and Xu Yangyang went to Sudong to work hard. The four of us agreed not to...separate again."

Legend has it that every cabin on the Ferris wheel is filled with happiness, but happiness is truly felt when you ride with the one you love. Riding alone with Fu Xingchuan had always been Lin Luo's dream, and today it finally came true.

Lin Qi's tears streamed down her face. Fu Xingchuan wiped them away gently with his hands, cupped her face, and was about to kiss her. She continued, "Everyone is getting better and better now, but I really hate it..."

Fu Xingchuan was stunned. Lin Qi's tears fell on the back of his hand. "I hate seeing you wearing the ring. It hurts me to think that you don't love me at all. I know that everything is a one-man show, but love will never stop because of a few heartbreaks. Now I am repeating the same mistakes."

"Can't you just look at others?" Fu Xingchuan said in a low voice.

"If I could do it, I would have done it long ago, why wait until now?"

Fu Xingchuan laughed at himself, distanced himself from her, and sat down looking out the window.

He waited until Lin Qi's tears were almost dry before he spoke, "Then I'll help you."

"...Help me with what?" Lin Luo said with a smile, her eyes curved.

Fu Xingchuan frowned, and Lin Luo opened her eyes wide, as if recognizing him. "Ah! I kidnapped you like this, and I haven't even paid to redeem you! Will the boss come and arrest me?"

She looked to her side in surprise, "Why are we so high up here? But that's good, this way no one can catch us."

Fu Xingchuan looked at her and breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go down! No one will come to catch you while I'm here."

"No, I want to sit for a while longer."

After sitting for two more laps, Fu Xingchuan asked her, "Is that enough?"

"That's not enough. I want to sit until dawn." Lin Luo said excitedly.

Fu Xingchuan was more exhausted tonight than from several meetings. He coaxed her, "Can you sit until dawn next time? Can you accompany me to play my favorite project first?"

Lin Luo looked at him innocently and asked, "What do you like?"

"Um... bumper cars."

Just then the door opened, and Lin Xiao said reluctantly, "Okay then."

After exiting the cabin, Lin Luo stumbled over her left foot and then her right foot as she walked towards the bumper cars. Fu Xingchuan directly carried her on his shoulders. Lin Luo patted him on the back and said, "Aren't the bumper cars over there? Where are we going?"

"You'll know soon."

Fu Xingchuan drove fast all the way and got home at the fastest speed.

As soon as they entered, Fu Xingchuan hugged her from behind. The zipper on the back of Lin Qi's skirt slid down, and his kisses followed her down. He didn't forget to tell her, "The bumper cars are about to start. Just bear with it. Even if you cry tonight, I won't stop."

He said that, but then a drop of salty liquid fell on his lips, and he couldn't bear it and pulled it out.

Lin Qi closed her eyes and hummed a few times. Fu Xingchuan stroked her back and said, "Go to sleep!"

"Sing for me." Lin Luo didn't open her eyes, but her voice was very loud.

Fu Xingchuan wondered, "Aren't you tired? How come you still have energy?"

"Hurry up and sing for me." She ordered, and Fu Xingchuan hugged her tightly. "What do you want to hear? 'Love Is Not a Choice' won't do."

"Then...then I'll sing for you!"

She leaned on his chest, and Fu Xingchuan felt his heart rate soar. "That's fine."

The green light was passed twice in a row

Love him for thousands of miles

…

After Lin Qi finished singing, she opened her eyes and found Fu Xingchuan asleep. She said drowsily, "Tong Yun taught me this song. How could I possibly forget her?"

There was wind outside the window, the curtains fluttered, and Fu Xingchuan's long eyelashes couldn't help but tremble.

The next morning, Lin Xiao woke up with a headache. She sat up, the covers slipping off her body, and she saw that her body was covered in hickeys. The box on the bedside table was empty, but she vaguely remembered a few fragments of memory.

Lin Luo recalled the scene in the bar where she took advantage of her drunkenness to touch Fu Xingchuan, kissed and hugged him, and even wanted to redeem him, and she secretly cursed herself as a lunatic.

Her whole body ached, and she came down from the second floor carefully. Aunt Wang had taken a leave of absence and was not at home. Fu Xingchuan had just returned from exercising and was pouring water to drink.

Lin Qiao walked over to him and asked, "What did I say yesterday? I have no memory of anything."

"Nothing." Fu Xingchuan raised his eyes, paused meaningfully for a few seconds, and teased her, "He just wanted to have sex with me in the car."

"Oh." Lin Luo's face flushed and she quickly changed the subject, "You...just came back from exercise!"

"Yes, this is because someone has consumed a lot of physical energy."

Lin Luo saw that Fu Xingchuan was teasing her, so she deliberately said, "You're not...weak, are you?"

Fu Xingchuan choked on his saliva, and Lin Luo kindly handed him a piece of paper.

Lin Luo suddenly remembered that Fu Xingchuan wanted to play bumper cars, so she asked, "Did we play bumper cars yesterday?"

Fu Xingchuan looked at her playfully and said, "It's fun."

"Can I play bumper cars when I'm drunk?" she wondered.

"Well, you're pretty good."

"oh."

Going around behind him to get him some water, Lin discovered a wound on his neck. She pointed at it and asked, "What's wrong with your neck?"

"You scratched it." Fu Xingchuan handed over a glass of water.

Memories of last night in bed came flooding back again and again. Lin Qi didn't answer and stammered, "I'm going to be late. I have to go to work first."

Fu Xingchuan put down the water and folded his hands over his chest. "Well, how do we get there? Do we drive?"

"I'll take the subway today." Lin Luo said as she walked quickly out of the house.

Lin Luo couldn't remember what she said on the Ferris wheel last night. The crisp sound of her cell phone brought her back to her senses.

She opened her phone and saw a message from Cheng Kaizhong, "Lin Luo, I've truly reflected deeply on what happened before. I want to give you a belated apology. I'm sorry."

Not sure if it was sincere or not, she pondered how to respond.

Another message came, "No matter what, the teacher was definitely doing this for your own good. I feel really bad for you not applying to Peking University. If you don't believe me, you can ask Director Wang. I couldn't eat for several days at that time."

Wu Yun handed her the printed lab report. She looked at it for a moment, then picked up her phone again and saw the latest news on the screen: "Lin Luo, can you write a letter of recommendation for the teacher in the provincial outstanding teacher selection?"

Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment and replied: [Okay!]

Cheng Kaizhong kept thanking her, but Lin Luo blocked his messages.

"Wu Yun, I remember you have a relative who is the principal of a special education school, right?" she asked.

"right."

"Can you give me his contact information?"

"sure!"

After hearing that the epidemic had killed Cheng Kaizhong's wife, his son, already ill, was devastated by his mother's passing, becoming even more easily irritated. He stopped going to school. Later, fearing he might accidentally harm other students, many special education schools refused to accept him.

The last time I visited Teacher Wu, he told me that the child's emotions are now more stable. Cheng Kaizhong has been trying to find ways to get him to study and learn with people of the same kind.

Lin Luo dialed the number and talked to the principal for a long time, explaining all the situations clearly. For Wu Yun's sake, the principal finally agreed to let the child try out at the school for a month.

After the call ended, Wu Yun applauded her. "Lin Luo, you really have a kind heart. You wrote a letter of recommendation and found a school for his son. Think about how Cheng Kaizhong treated you before. I definitely couldn't do that if it were me."

Lin Luo smiled faintly, "Who said I would honestly write him a letter of recommendation?"

"Then you agreed to it on purpose." Wu Yun suddenly realized, "Then his son couldn't have done it on purpose!"

"Cheng Kaizhong did some things wrong and hurt me and other students, but he hasn't let his family down. Cheng Kaizhong holds a very important place in their hearts. He might mean half the world, or even the whole world to them. So, although I'm not very willing to do so, there's really no need to kill him off. It's enough that he receives the punishment he deserves."

Wu Yun gave her a thumbs up.

In the recommendation letter Lin Luo wrote to Cheng Kaizhong, she clearly pointed out that Cheng Kaizhong had problems with his teaching ethics and was not worthy of the title of excellent teacher. Whether he was suitable to be a teacher remained to be examined.

This can be considered as revenge for her past self, and that is enough, Lin Luo said in her heart.

After get off work, Lin Luo walked out of the research institute and called Teacher Wu.

She asked: "Teacher Wu, you also want to be recognized as an outstanding teacher in the province, why don't you write me a thank you letter and show your resume?"

"You little brat, how can you even bring yourself to say something like that?" Teacher Wu said with a smile, "Besides, the judges won't look at things like that. They look at your overall ability. I truly deserve the title of your teacher."

Still as confident and narcissistic as ever, Lin Luo curled her lips and drove home.

"When are you free? Come to my place for dinner. Your senior Xia Ruichu came a few days ago and said that my cooking skills have improved."

"Really? I'll definitely go someday when I'm free."

"Bring Fu Xingchuan along."

The car passed through an intersection and luckily the light turned green. Lin Luo sped through and promised him, "Okay."
