"When you're living on the edge of your seat and can't even afford to eat, do you have time to think about anything else?"
Xu Jing looked at him, his eyes devoid of any emotion. He was conveying the truth, and also explaining that the gap between them wasn't just a little bit, it was huge.
"Look at the people down there. Who among those stars isn't worn out by the toil of making a living? Life isn't about comparing your misery to gain sympathy."
Xu Jing took out another piece of candy and placed it in front of him. "It's not delicious, but it's all I can enjoy."
"I hate preaching." Xie Zhiyi turned away, his excitement replaced by fear as the Ferris wheel slowly ascended. "How long will it stay there?"
"It's very short, about a minute."
One minute, he didn't want to stay even for a second longer.
Beneath the transparent glass window was an abyss, a hell that locked his soul in. He was so frightened that his legs went limp, but he gritted his teeth and dared not say a word.
At this time, the fruit candy placed aside became his only comfort.
In his panic, he could hear his heart pounding.
The moment he reached for the candy, Xu Jing grabbed his hand. "What's wrong?"
"Can't you see?" Xie Zhiyi glared at him and said loudly. "I'm afraid of heights."
"What about closing your eyes?"
"I'm even more afraid of heights. I really regret getting on this pirate ship. It's going to be hard to get off now." Xie Zhiyi held his hand tightly, her voice trembling. "Aren't you afraid?"
"No."
That's right. He was just asking a stupid question. How could someone who could fly with a sword be afraid?
Xie Zhiyi opened his eyes again and the Ferris wheel had reached its highest point.
Outside the window is the Guangzhou Tower, and the Ferris wheel is less than half the size of the Guangzhou Tower.
Down below are the shopping malls and the street lights. The lights converge in one place, twinkling like stars, just like fireworks on earth with a hint of life.
The walking people have become matchsticks. You can only see the movement but not the true appearance.
At that moment, Xie Zhiyi forgot his fear and where he was. What he saw was a feeling that he could not experience on TV or even on his phone.
He also had the feeling of standing on the top of a mountain, overlooking all the other mountains.
"He Wenxiu, thank you." Thank him for taking her to see the scenery and experience the various aspects of life that she had never experienced before.
"And I'm sorry. I know I'm overly sensitive. I apologize for being reckless and not being able to control my mouth." Xie Zhiyi lowered his head and said softly, "Fruit candy is delicious too. It's me who can't experience your life. But I don't have time to experience it."
"It's not a good thing, and I didn't want you to experience it." Xu Jing smiled and held up his chin with his hand. "It's okay, ignorance is not a crime."
"Why are you so nice to me?"
While Xie Zhiyi was moved, he was also a little puzzled. If a person doesn't care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Why would someone appear in his world to save him? It was really unbelievable.
"I also have things I want, like your love."
"Love?" Xie Zhiyi suddenly laughed out loud, tears streaming down her face. "It's better to say you want money."
"Yes, it's impractical, but it's what I need most as a lonely person. And there's something I want to try."
"What?"
Xie Zhiyi saw the enlarged face, and then his lips felt wet. The kiss, full of deep meaning, instantly occupied his mind, and at that moment he felt a little short of breath.
What exactly is love? Is it worth him going to such lengths to force a relationship that doesn't belong to him?
At this time, Xie Zhiyi didn't know it yet and even thought it was ridiculous.
He thought He Wenxiu was dreaming. How could someone who didn't even have a tomorrow have the energy to waste on other things?
It is really unacceptable to force this.
"If you want it, I'll give it to you." Xie Zhiyi thought, since he wanted it, he should give it to him. He had nothing to lose anyway.
Even if he doesn't love you, you can pretend to love him.
But Xu Jing is not a rookie who plays around casually. He has experienced a lot and can better distinguish between what is just acting and what is too real.
No matter how well you act, there will always be a day when your flaws are exposed.
"Follow your heart." Xu Jing pointed to the location of his heart and said softly: "Remember what I said from now on. I want to use my words to verify a fact about the Ferris wheel."
"What?"
"They say that if you kiss on the Ferris wheel at the highest point, you'll find the person who loves you the most. But some people also say that once you get off the Ferris wheel, two lovers will break up. I don't believe that."
Xu Jing smiled and said, "I think our love is eternal. The Ferris wheel is just a doorway to the realization of our wish."
"What they said is true." Xie Zhiyi had to tell the truth even though his conscience was completely ruined. "You should face the reality. We will eventually experience separation and death."
"Everyone will experience separation and death; it's just a matter of time." Xu Jing touched his face, and his voice had never made Xie Zhiyi feel so at ease as it did now. He said, "There is a kind of love that transcends life and death. Even if you die in the next moment, you will not feel any regrets."
"What is that?"
"Floor your heart." Xu Jing pointed to the location of his heart.
“You don’t need others to remember, as long as you remember.”
"He Wenxiu, are you crazy?" Xie Zhiyi couldn't figure out what was so worthy of his love for her. Could he be moved by her just standing there and saying these things? It was simply stupid.
"You don't want me to be liked. Liking me is a burden. Maybe what you call liking me is just lust. You will meet someone better than me in the future."
The closer the Ferris wheel is to the ground, the clearer you can see the people. "You have enough time to get to know someone, and only after you understand them can you say you like them."
"I like your soul more. At least your soul is not bound by rules and regulations." Xu Jing turned his face and forced Xie Zhiyi to look directly at him. "Loving someone is a simple thing. I like you, that's all."
"I can't respond to you with anything." In order to survive, he even had to take advantage of He Wenxiu's stupidity to fill up the little time he had left.
"You don't have to respond, I'm just expressing my feelings."
Xie Zhiyi glared at him and slapped his outstretched hand away. "Your behavior is no different from the dog-licking on your phone. Can you please stop being so love-sick and have some self-respect?"
"Okay." Xu Jing smiled, but the smile on his lips looked a little cruel in Xie Zhiyi's eyes. "You gave up too quickly. Your love is too cheap."
She is as flexible as him, is she acting?
After getting off the Ferris wheel, Xie Zhiyi, for once, didn't offer his hand. Instead, she sulked behind him. "Hey, did you forget what you said at the top of the Ferris wheel?"
"What are you talking about?" Xu Jing's smile faded, and his mood instantly turned colder. "We broke up as soon as we got off the Ferris wheel."
"What are you talking about?"
What's going on in the middle of the night with these ghost stories from a Chinese studio?
"He Wenxiu!" Xie Zhiyi said angrily, hands on hips. "Say it again?"
