When his soul flew out into the sky, circled around, and then returned, Jiang Cheng felt a roar in his brain. The sensation of his heart suddenly stopping and then beating again was even more exaggerated than when controlled nuclear fusion was first successfully developed.
Someone with a mild fear of heights and who doesn't like heart-pounding entertainment felt like their body wasn't their own when they stepped off the pirate ship.
His face was pale, and he took several deep breaths before he managed to calm down.
"Brother, are you happy?"
"I...I'm quite happy!" Jiang Cheng forced a smile.
Luo Xiaoli, standing next to her, cheered and tidied her slightly messy hair, then brought her pretty face closer.
She grinned, revealing her white teeth, wrinkled her nose slightly, reached out to help Jiang Cheng put his mask on properly, and then stood on tiptoe to give him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Let's go, let's go take a look over there."
Luo Xiaoli pulled Jiang Cheng through the crowd in the amusement park, weaving through gaps towards a denser area.
The young couple, both only eighteen, held hands, occasionally exchanging smiles, their expressions sincere and genuine. Time only gains meaning when etched with memories; everything they experience together now, every single moment they spend, can be recalled in the days to come when they are together.
This is happiness; in this paradise, there are countless lovers who share the same thoughts.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng suddenly realized that when he stood at the pinnacle of scientific research, he vaguely felt that the meaning of life lay only in this. But the simple and warm relationship with Luo Xiaoli was just as joyful as his great career. At the end of this autumn, he had a lover and an ongoing scientific research project.
That's a successful life, isn't it...?
Beneath the 50-meter-high Ferris wheel, a height that sends shivers down one's spine at a mere glance, he could hear the incessant chatter of the facility maintenance staff.
"This is the tallest Ferris wheel in Lanjing. You can see the city's night view from the top with an extremely wide field of vision. However, there will be a slight sway when you reach the top, but our safety is absolutely guaranteed. The wind is quite strong in mid-air, so don't be afraid even if it sways. Just sit still and look out the window, and don't look down."
"Hey boss, aren't you having a fireworks display later? What time is it?"
"Ten o'clock!"
After confirming the time, Luo Xiaoli turned to Jiang Cheng and said, "Brother, should we wait a while and go up at ten o'clock? It will be beautiful to watch the fireworks from up there!"
"Then let's wait," he replied, but his attention wasn't on this side; he looked around to confirm Mizutani Yumi's location.
It was all arranged that during this time period, under the Ferris wheel, she would hide and catch a glimpse of Luo Xiaoli.
You Lixuan was nervously preparing everything when the special police moved closer, quietly creating a passage by squeezing on both sides and leaving a space in the middle for passage.
From the shadows of the buildings, a person completely wrapped in a teddy bear emerged.
She walked slowly, and after a moment appeared under a bright light, followed by two dressed-up staff members.
The three of them walked forward in an acute angle, unhurried and calm. But if you looked closely, you could see that the teddy bear was staring intently at the young couple a hundred meters away.
Through the thin veil over her head, you can see a pair of beautiful eyes filled with anticipation and longing.
At this moment, Mizutani Yumi truly saw her daughter after more than ten years apart, so she was so excited that her movements were somewhat hindered. If it weren't for her bulky clothes concealing her, the plainclothes officers would probably have seen that her hands were trembling.
She wanted to move forward a little more, just a little more.
The Ferris wheel slowly turned under the night sky, and many people couldn't wait to get on. Amidst the chaotic scene, Luo Xiaoli and Jiang Cheng were talking, completely unaware that her closest relatives were sitting very close to her.
Mizutani Yumi finally got her wish and saw her daughter.
She's so beautiful... she's grown into a graceful young woman.
She looks so thin. Is it because she deliberately controls her diet to maintain her figure?
She looks exactly like me; genes are truly powerful.
The feeling of looking directly at the life you brought into this world is very subtle.
My daughter seems to really like Jiang Cheng. Even when she wants to grab something else, she'll switch hands and hook her index finger with his.
Did Xiaoli come in too much of a hurry today? Her hair is all crooked. No... she must have messed it up while playing and had to re-tie it.
It's a pity that Mom wasn't a part of your childhood or watched you grow up, but you're very happy now, and Mom is very satisfied.
You must live happily and joyfully from now on, and always wear a smile on your face. Even when you cry, remember to run into the arms of someone who gives you a sense of security. You can weather the storms of life with your loving family and partner.
Actually, Mom has always missed you and wanted to tell you "I love you" in person, but she didn't have the chance.
Now that the efforts of more than a decade ago have not been in vain, what more could we ask for?
I've wandered through the cold prison thousands of times, and I've been suddenly awakened in the middle of the night thinking about you. I've spent countless days and nights in fear without hearing from you.
Yumi Mizutani's cold heart softened.
"It was worth it," she said silently to herself.
Just as she lingered for a few minutes, wanting to take another step forward, plainclothes officers strode past her. Shui Ting remained silent for a moment, then shrank back to her original position. She knew this was a warning; any closer and it wouldn't be a safe distance anymore.
