At eight o'clock in the evening, there were only a few people queuing at McDonald's dessert station.
In five minutes, Xu Jing and the others arrived at the queue. "What do you want to eat?"
Xie Zhiyi looked at the "Sea Salt Double Twist Ice Cream, Peach Sundae, McFlurry, etc." on the screen and fell into deep thought. "Which one is better?"
"What flavor do you like?"
As for the taste. I've never eaten it before, so I can't say what it tastes like.
The top-ranked item might appeal to the general public, but not necessarily to him. He wasn't sure how sweet the less popular items would be. Honestly, he wanted to try something sweet, but didn't want the overwhelming sweetness to ruin his mood. After much deliberation, he settled on the simplest original flavor cone.
After paying, he watched the waiter swirling the cone, his eyes lighting up. After receiving it, Xie Zhiyi couldn't wait to take a bite. It was so sweet, he fell in love with it at first bite.
How come I haven’t discovered something so delicious before?
After taking a bite, he frowned.
"Not tasty?" Xu Jing bought a sea salt cherry blossom sundae. The salty and sweet taste was not particularly delicious, but there was a reason why it was put on the market.
"No, I just feel that we met too late."
"I always feel like there's something else behind your words." Xu Jing pointed at himself. "It's the same with you and me."
"I was just pulling an ice cream, how did it get to you? Do you have any shame?" Xie Zhiyi glared at him, and his depressed mood instantly dissipated. "Why does yours have a spoon?"
"Yours is also a cone, what's so strange about it." Seeing him approach, Xu Jing took it away. "Eat yours, how shameless of you to stare at others'?"
"You..." Xie Zhiyi was at a loss for words for a moment. It wasn't until she saw the smile on his face that she realized she had been tricked. "Come here, let me have a taste."
He hasn't tried other flavors yet, so he can't give up.
"Can't you buy it yourself?"
"You know I don't have any money." If I had money, why would I need to rely on him?
His self-righteous manner made Xu Jing burst into laughter. Seeing that the deadly claws were about to fly over, Xu Jing stopped laughing and handed him the sundae cup. "Here."
"Get out of here. I don't want to eat your saliva."
"Are you complaining that you didn't eat enough last night?" There was something else in his words, causing a blush to creep onto his cheeks. Xie Zhiyi glared at him. The conspicuous bag was really unbearable to look at. "Can you be more civilized?"
"That's the normal secretion of saliva, which is related to the human digestive tract. Maybe your body lacks something, so you are more greedy when looking at other people's things." Xu Jing's serious explanation made Xie Zhiyi furious. At this moment, he really wanted to let Xie Kunning out and scold him to vent his anger. He was so mean that he forgot the previous feelings of being touched and just wanted to strangle him to death.
"Do you want to eat more?" The ice cream is almost melting.
"No more eating, let's go to the next place."
Xie Zhiyi grabbed his hand and snorted coldly. "Don't let me go."
"I understand, Master. You can put your mind at ease."
Ice cream is not as sweet as his words. In a split second, they filled his entire time. When he recalled them, they were so sweet that he was incoherent and the aftertaste was endless.
The most amazing thing is that Xie Zhiyi can still remember his smile when he looked back. She thought it was ordinary at the time, but when she recalled it, it was more beautiful than the moonlight that night.
It is true that all the beautiful things are left in memory. What we cherish is not the scenery, but the person who watched the scenery with us.
If only time could stop at the moment when he fell in love, but unfortunately, things went against my wishes and it was all just a mirage that turned into nothing.
There is a small playground in the north of the mall, which is more of a gathering place for children as a childhood than a playground.
Xie Zhiyi was sincerely envious when he saw the children accompanied by their parents on small planes and trains.
"What are you envious of? Do you want to sit on it?" Xu Jing threw the garbage into the trash can and took out his mobile phone.
"I'll sit, will you accompany me?"
"I'm afraid not." Xu Jing compared his own height. It was too cramped to sit on a small plane at about 1.85 meters.
Xie Zhiyi, who has practiced the "bone shrinking technique", can barely give it a try.
Xie Zhiyi frowned, and knowing that he was thinking about something weird again, he dragged him away. "Isn't there a Ferris wheel? Where is it?"
"I need to buy tickets." Xu Jing pointed to the ticket office and paid by scanning the QR code on his phone. "Two Ferris wheel tickets, please."
"Okay, here you go." Xie Zhiyi took it from her aunt's hand. There was a romantic fireworks display on the rectangular ticket. "When do we watch the fireworks?"
"Ten o'clock in the evening, Deman Square, ten minutes' drive away."
A ten-minute drive is equivalent to a half-hour walk, which is just the right amount of time to walk over after riding the Ferris wheel.
"Let's go ride the Ferris wheel." Xie Zhiyi was as excited as a child, pulling Xu Jing around the street. Xu Jing followed behind him, feeling somewhat helpless but also amused. "Slow down, no one is trying to snatch it from you."
There was no one fighting for it, and there were only a few people riding the Ferris wheel, only a few children and a couple.
A man and a woman were snuggling together, their pink bubbles were about to overflow, but they didn't notice anyone else.
The ticket inspector was watching and didn't want to rush them. She had seen such scenes so many times that it was no longer surprising to her.
It is rare to see young men holding hands. The aunt took a few glances and found that the young man was quite good-looking, but holding hands was a bit strange.
Xie Zhiyi handed the ticket to the aunt. After tearing open the ticket paper, the aunt gestured for them to line up at the entrance.
The Ferris wheel was moving quite slowly, but there weren't many people queuing. Five minutes later, Xu Jing and Xie Zhiyi were already sitting face to face on the slowly rising Ferris wheel.
For those who are afraid of heights, they dare not look down even if they are ascending slowly.
"Have you lived in the castle since you can remember?"
Xie Zhiyi nodded, and looking straight ahead made him feel less afraid.
"Never been out?"
"Do you like to talk nonsense?" Can you please not say that when the Ferris wheel is going up? It's scary.
After a long silence, Xie Zhiyi realized that she had said the wrong thing. Just as she was about to apologize, she saw him slowly pull out a piece of colorfully coated fruit candy from his pocket. "Want to eat?"
Xie Zhiyi snatched it away angrily, unwrapped the candy coating, and popped it into his mouth. The taste of cheap sugary syrup filled his mouth, and after careful examination, he realized it tasted like cantaloupe.
He frowned and looked at He Wenxiu who was sitting opposite him and said, "Don't you eat imported candy?"
"Young Master, do you think everyone lives in an ivory tower like you?" Xu Jing smiled, but his underlying tone was desolate.
"You enjoy life, but I am tortured by life. It's different."
A casual remark from someone else is a reflection of life's ups and downs. Not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth, and not everyone yearns for an ivory tower.
Xie Zhiyi's words were filled with sarcasm. "You thought my life was easy? Staying in there is like being in prison, with only an old housekeeper for company. If I hadn't met you, I might never have gotten out."
