Chapter 484 "Brother Meng Bai, I like you!"
"Zizhi——"
With the sound of metal squeezing and the sound of the motor starting, the tall Ferris wheel slowly turned.
In the one-meter square cabin, Zhao Jinmai tilted her head slightly to look out the window, as if she was watching the slowly rising scene. But if you look closely, you will find that the focus of her eyes is not outside at all, but on Meng Bai who is sitting opposite.
Just now, she persuaded Brother Meng Bai to accompany her on the Ferris wheel by acting coquettishly and pleading. In order to ensure that she can have an exclusive "two-person space", she deliberately queued up to be the last one to get on.
The space in the cabin is not large, and even if the two sit staggered, they don't have much distance.
Zhao Jinmai's face was slightly flushed. Although they have known each other for many years and often played and fought on the set before, she just thought that the other party was a very good "brother" at that time, and she didn't have any feelings.
But it's different now. An eighteen-year-old girl is at the age of falling in love. With other ideas in her mind, her emotions are naturally not as natural as before.
"Maimai, are you afraid of heights?"
Meng Bai's voice suddenly broke the atmosphere in the cabin.
Zhao Jinmai was awakened from her inner emotions. After a second of confusion, she shook her head and said, "No, no."
"Then I see that you seem to be very uncomfortable?"
Meng Bai looked over in confusion. The little girl had not spoken much since the Ferris wheel started. Her face was flushed and she seemed very nervous.
"No, I just... feel a little hot."
Zhao Jinmai raised her hand and fanned herself to hide her complexion.
Meng Bai felt it for a while: "Is it hot? Well, it seems a little. Wait, I'll open the window."
At the end of September, Blue Island was still at the end of midsummer. Although it was already night, there was still some heat from the day.
In order to ensure safety, the Ferris wheel was closed after it started. However, there was a window on each side, which could open a gap about the size of a fist.
Meng Bai opened the windows on both sides, and the refreshing breeze blew in immediately, greatly alleviating the dryness inside.
Seeing that the girl's mood seemed to have eased, he took the initiative to bring up the topic, talking about the filming of the crew, yesterday's Feitian Awards, insider news of the industry and gossip in the circle. He also cared about the girl's experience in the crew in the past two years and her feelings about going to college.
But most of the time, it was Zhao Jinmai who was talking, and he was listening on the side. Occasionally, he would say one or two words to show that he was listening carefully.
The life experiences of the two people were not on the same dimension. As a big man in the industry, Meng Bai had a wider information channel. So even if it was just a few casual chats, it always hit the key point, causing Zhao Jinmai to talk more and more happily, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Growing up in the crew, the opposite sex I knew were either boys of the same age, immature, impulsive, and talked about games, basketball, etc., which made people uninterested.
Or they were about the same age as my father. Although some were gentle, some were serious, and some were vulgar, they looked like elders no matter how they looked.
Only Meng Bai was different. He could joke and play like friends of the same age, and he could also give me guidance and confusion like a senior. Moreover, unlike those "seniors" who boasted a lot but actually had no ability, he really helped her solve many problems.
For Zhao Jinmai, she was already at the age of a young girl in love. How could she not be moved by such a handsome and powerful "brother".
Even though she knew that this "brother" was fickle, she would still open up for him in her heart - Brother Meng Bai was so powerful, what's wrong with having a few more girlfriends! Besides, there weren't many, just one, two, three, or four.
She was even secretly happy about this in her heart, because it meant that she also had a chance.
Moreover, compared to those "one, two, three, and four", she was younger, which meant she had more advantages.
In another ten years, those women would be old and ugly, but she would be in her prime, and she could easily win Brother Meng Bai!
The Ferris wheel was not running very fast, and the two chatted for a long time before they barely left the horizon.
"Don't mention it, from this height, the night view of Blue Island Bay is really good." Meng Bai sighed as he looked out the window.
"Well, it's really beautiful."
Zhao Jinmai responded, but she was a little absent-minded, because she was thinking about something else.
Legend has it that when the Ferris wheel rises to the highest point, if a man and a woman confess their love at this time, they will receive the blessing of an angel.
As a college student who has received twelve years of scientific education and has become an adult, Zhao Jinmai holds the attitude of "I don't believe it but I think it's okay to try" towards similar urban legends.
She had thought of this legend when she was downstairs before. Now, watching the Ferris wheel turn up little by little, her thoughts became active again.
Otherwise, why not confess to Brother Meng Bai at that time?
Thinking of this, the little girl's breathing suddenly became a little faster. She hurriedly glanced at Meng Bai opposite, and saw that he was still enjoying the night view outside the window, so she was relieved.
But the idea just now was out of control.
Well, if I confess, what would Brother Meng Bai think? He would definitely be shocked and then reject me. But it might not be the case. What if he didn't reject it? What if he actually likes me too?
Come to think of it, Brother Meng Bai should have a good impression of me, after all, I am so cute, pretty, well-behaved and sensible. By the way, he still owes me a birthday wish, why not just use it here...
Zhao Jinmai had all kinds of thoughts in her mind. Sometimes she felt that she should go straight to the point and make the final decision in one fell swoop; sometimes she felt that she shouldn't be so anxious, and she could slowly and imperceptibly make Brother Meng Bai like her, anyway, there is plenty of time.
With all sorts of thoughts in her mind, she suddenly felt that the speed of the Ferris wheel seemed to slow down. Looking outside, she was suddenly panicked - how could it reach the highest point so soon.
No, I can't just sit there and wait for death, at least I have to try it first.
Thinking of this, she stood up abruptly, with her fists clenched and hanging on both sides of her body, she looked straight at Meng Bai and said loudly: "Brother Meng Bai, I like... Oops!"
"Humph!"
A small exclamation sounded, and Zhao Jinmai suddenly rushed forward in the middle of his words, and a "rocket headbutt" hit Meng Bai's chest, causing the latter to groan.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Brother Meng Bai, I didn't mean it..."
Zhao Jinmai hurriedly pulled out of the man's arms and apologized anxiously: "The car just shook, and I didn't stand firmly, and as a result... Brother Meng Bai, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I shouldn't be hurt."
Meng Bai rubbed his chest with one hand, looking at the little girl in front of him expressionlessly: "I was wondering why you had to drag me up when you were downstairs just now, it turns out that you were planning to assassinate me here. Humph, tell me, who sent you?"
"I, I didn't, I didn't, I really didn't mean it just now..."
Zhao Jinmai waved her hands hurriedly, indicating that she didn't mean it. But soon, she saw the hidden smile at the corner of the man's mouth, and then she realized that he was joking with her.
"Wow, Brother Meng Bai, why are you like this..."
The little girl puffed her lips, but then she regained her concerned look: "Is it okay? Does it hurt?"
"Don't be so nervous, I'm just teasing you." Meng Bai patted his chest, "Do you think you are a stone man? With your weight, it won't be a big deal even if you rush over."
"Well, that's good, that's good." Zhao Jinmai breathed a sigh of relief.
"The staff has reminded you that when you are on top, try not to stand up. It's easy to fall if you shake. Look, you are a vivid example."
"I, I didn't notice that the direction suddenly changed just now..."
"Go back and sit down." Meng Bai motioned her to sit back in her seat, "By the way, what did you want to say just now?"
"I..."
Zhao Jinmai opened her mouth, but after a burst of energy, it was difficult to muster up the courage again in a short time.
"Don't say I didn't remind you, there are only ten minutes to twelve o'clock, and my birthday wish promise is today. If you don't say it again, I won't admit it." Meng Bai said calmly.
No, I can't just let it go. It's not easy to get an opportunity like today! Zhao Jinmai thought to herself.
Taking a deep breath, she looked up at Meng Bai again, but this time she didn't stand up.
"Brother Meng Bai..."
"What?"
"I... I like you, can you be my boyfriend!!"
Finally, it was said...
Zhao Jinmai let out a long breath, lowered her head, and waited for the verdict.
On the other side, Meng Bai was indeed "shocked" by this sudden confession as she had expected before.
Of course, it was not the confession itself that scared him. As a sea king, and an experienced sea king, how could he not know the good feelings of the little girl for him.
At the age of 16, it is normal to like the outstanding opposite sex around you.
Even he himself had such a time in the past.
So it is normal for Mai Mai to have a good impression of him, and Meng Bai did not take it too seriously.
It was just an emotional impulse at a special time node. It will be fine after two years of mental maturity.
But he thought that according to the girl's personality, she would only hide this feeling in her heart, and then slowly dissipate over time. Unexpectedly, on such a special day today, she actually said it directly.
This is a bit difficult.
With his mind racing, he looked at the little girl who was trying to imitate an ostrich.
"Is this your birthday wish?"
Zhao Jinmai was stunned when she heard this, and looked up, only to see Meng Bai looking at her with complicated eyes.
She wanted to say that this was not just a "birthday wish", but also her true thoughts. But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back and just nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then your wish is quite simple." Meng Bai smiled, "Okay, since you promised before, then I promise you."
Zhao Jinmai's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked over fiercely.
But then, she heard the other party continue: "From twelve o'clock, until your birthday next year, you can treat me as your boyfriend."
"..."
The expression on Zhao Jinmai's face suddenly froze, which seemed a little different from the answer she imagined.
Meng Bai ignored the expression on her face and continued, "The wish period is one year, and it will not be automatically renewed upon expiration. During the wish period, you can exercise your girlfriend's rights. Of course, as a boyfriend, I can also refuse. Everything is fair and just. How about that, I have fulfilled your wish, right?"
"What about after the expiration?" Zhao Jinmai bit her lip and asked softly, "Can I make another wish next year?"
"Let's talk about next year's matters next year." Meng Bai smiled and said, "Don't always make decisions about your future too early. Maybe you will change your mind by then?"
"I won't change my mind!" the little girl said sullenly.
"Maybe... How about it, have you decided?"
Zhao Jinmai looked at Meng Bai's noncommittal expression, knowing that he thought he was just talking casually, so he specially left a way out.
I don't know whether to say this is "considerate" or that he doesn't believe in himself?
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Jinmai smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Meng Bai, it's a deal. Starting tomorrow, you will be my boyfriend for the next year."
It doesn't matter if he doesn't believe in himself, just prove it to him when the time comes!
But then again, I'm his girlfriend now, so can I enjoy the rights of a girlfriend?
She thought so, with a smile on her face. She glanced at Meng Bai carefully, then encouraged herself in her heart, and then raised her face to the opposite side.
"What are you doing?"
Meng Bai stretched out his hand and pressed against the girl's head.
"Didn't you say that you are my boyfriend now, so we are a couple. Since we are a couple, we must sit together, right?" Zhao Jinmai said righteously.
"That makes sense." Meng Bai nodded, "But there are still five minutes to twelve o'clock, and the agreement has not started yet."
"Ah?"
Zhao Jinmai took out his mobile phone blankly and looked at the time. Sure enough, there were still five minutes to twelve o'clock, no, four minutes.
But the problem is that in four minutes, the Ferris wheel will end!
"It's not a matter of a few minutes."
"No, people should abide by integrity."
"How about we wait until next year and end it a few minutes earlier?"
"Do you think it's flexible employment? There's no such thing."
"..."
Until the Ferris wheel ended and the two returned to the ground, Zhao Jinmai had no words to say, and the angry girl walked out with a puffed mouth.
Looking at her back, Meng Bai smiled softly.
A boyfriend of a year seems like a joke, but it is the best way he can think of to deal with this matter.
"I hope this girl can mature in the next year." He sighed secretly in his heart.
Because the two were the last to go up, they were naturally the last to go down.
The time agreed by the crew and the park has ended, and the staff on both sides are packing up their things.
Seeing Zhao Jinmai's small figure, Meng Bai walked over: "Let's go."
"Where to?" The little girl replied, and her tone seemed to be a little resentful.
"Your boyfriend will take you back to rest."
Boyfriend?
Zhao Jinmai was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
Yes, it's past twelve o'clock, and the wish has taken effect!
From now on, Brother Meng Bai is her boyfriend! !
The resentment in her heart just now disappeared instantly. She now just felt like she had a sip of ice cola at the hottest time of the summer noon, and she felt refreshed from the moment she came out.
Meng Bai walked forward a few steps, and suddenly found that there seemed to be no one behind him. He looked back and saw Zhao Jinmai still standing there, with his hands behind his back and one foot tapping the ground, with a smile on his face.
"Are you going to leave or not? If not, I'll go back by myself."
"Oh, here we come!"
Zhao Jinmai woke up from his fantasy, ran a few steps to catch up, and then walked forward side by side with Meng Bai.
The light of the street lamp shone down, and two shadows, one large and one small, slowly turned and stretched on the ground, and finally merged together.
