Together they watched the sun completely set on the horizon, watched the clouds being gently pushed by the wind, and watched the blurry white shadow of the moon in the sky.
But Gu Li saw more than just these things.
He also saw Jiang Xu's profile illuminated by the light, and noticed the light's special favoritism towards those around him. "Jiang Xu," he called his name, and as Jiang Xu was about to move, he added, "Don't move, there's a hair on your face, can I remove it for you?"
Jiang Xu didn't move. He blinked his eyelashes and his voice came out with the blink, "Okay."
Gu Li touched Jiang Xu's face with his fingertip, paused briefly, then gently stroked Jiang Xu's skin twice with his fingertip before leaving. "Okay, that's all."
There was no hair there, only a tiny point of light reflecting off something unknown, which shifted slightly with Gu Li's movements.
Jiang Xu only felt a gentle touch, which rubbed against his cheek twice before disappearing, leaving only an itch that was even deeper than the one on his wrist.
He forced himself not to touch the skin that Gu Li had just touched, and instead turned his gaze to Gu Li. "Thank you, Gu Li," he said, using Gu Li to distract himself.
Gu Li said, "No need, it seems to be nearing its peak, it's getting clearer and clearer." He pointed outside, drawing Jiang Xu's gaze elsewhere, and then he noticed that the light spot on Jiang Xu's profile had disappeared.
Gu Li withdrew his hand and placed it back in its previous position. The light spot reappeared. He looked down at his hand, and the ring shone brightly in the light.
He glanced at the splattered light on Jiang Xu's face again, and he thought...
It seemed to be brighter than my own ring.
At the top of the Ferris wheel, there are romantic stories of kisses exchanged there, promising a lasting bond – a beautiful hope and a silent vow.
Jiang Xu gazed at the scenery, his thoughts drifting.
Then he inexplicably remembered the slip of paper he had drawn in the haunted house, which simply read...
Not a simple story: a 10-second kiss.
His gaze unconsciously drifted to Gu Li beside him, his eyes lingering on her pale lips.
He then recalled the pale pink roses Gu Li had given him, pale pink roses, pale pink lips.
A pale pink bloomed in my heart.
“Gu Li,” they looked at each other at the peak, “what are you thinking right now?”
Gu Li paused, then slowly descended after reaching his peak. "What am I thinking?" he repeated. "I think it's nice to know you, no, it's really great," he carefully chose his words. "I'm also thinking it might have been better if I had met you sooner."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Xu and said, "Jiang Xu," the space filled with light, "what are you thinking about now?"
Jiang Xu said earnestly, “I think we met at just the right time. If it had been a moment earlier, it might not have been me. If it had been a moment later, I would have felt regretful.”
Gu Li felt enveloped in light. "I think there's something regrettable that just happened."
Jiang Xu: "What is it?"
Gu Li raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you guess?"
Jiang Xu clasped his hands together, lowered his head and thought for a moment, "How about giving me a hint?"
Gu Li asked, "How should I give this?" He twirled the ring on his finger. "It's related to the records."
Jiang Xu probed, "Is it related to the rumors about the Ferris wheel?" His question already carried a somewhat direct meaning.
Gu Li paused, thought for a moment, and said, "No," he added, "at least not yet." His gaze lingered on Jiang Xu's lips. "Tsk, maybe a little."
Jiang Xu said with a smile, "I can't guess." He lowered his voice and said softly, "Just tell me what's a pity this time."
Gu Li felt a tingle in her heart, a tingle that belonged to Jiang Xu. "We should take a picture at the top, but I haven't decided what kind of picture it should be." That was the slightest hint of something more.
Jiang Xu: "Then next time, maybe next time won't be just a maybe."
After a moment of silence, Gu Li's voice rang out again, "Have you ever kissed someone?" He spoke bluntly and clearly, making sure everyone around him could hear him.
Jiang Xu, "How about you guess this time?"
Gu Li and Jiang Xu looked at each other. The ring he was spinning suddenly got stuck on his knuckle. "Do I really have to guess? Do I really have to guess?" He released the ring, leaned closer to him, and said, "Brother Xu."
Jiang Xu could tell that Gu Li's tone was a little indistinct at the end, lingering and entangled, like setting a trap, or like a clingy cat, making people lower their guard.
At that moment, the Ferris wheel stopped, the door slid open softly, and the conversation ended abruptly.
Some things should perhaps be revealed next time.
After getting off the Ferris wheel, the seven of them gathered together again at the exit. It was getting darker, and the amusement park lights came on, giving the night a different feel.
One by one, people dressed in cartoon costumes appeared. Xu Lang's phone rang. He took it out and saw, "We have to be with them. This is the only shoot that requires our cooperation."
The cartoon characters lined up in the distance, seemingly about to walk around the amusement park.
Gu Li glanced at the cartoon queue not far away and said, "Let's just stand here, strike a pose, and wait for them to pass by."
Xu Lang contacted someone and said, "Okay, they'll handle it."
The group stood in a row, their postures casual. Lu Chao even pulled out sunglasses from somewhere and put them on. Gu Li saw this and said, "Smuggling your own stuff behind your brothers' backs, Chaozi, this isn't a good thing to do."
Xu Lang, who had been half-turned and couldn't see Lü Chao, looked over after hearing this. "He must not be as confident as us, so we don't need anything."
Jiang Xu: "It looks like that's for sure. The black sky and sunglasses are really unexpected matching items."
Ji Hai said, "I can forgive them, but you actually brought them without inviting me. Is this what friends who have fallen out of love under the same roof are like? It's really disheartening."
Xie Tao said, "Yes, it's disheartening, but our shop will absolutely welcome you, Hai." He sounded quite serious. "Think about it?"
Lu Chao said, "You guys are trying to poach my employees, enough already." He then pointed to his sunglasses, "You just want me to take them off, don't you?" He pretended to take them off, but instead of taking them off, he just waved his hand and made a fake movement. "Hey, I'm not taking them off, don't be too envious of me."
Jiang Chen said, "Brother, I see you want to pick them, let me help you."
Lu Chao sighed and glanced to the side. "Brother, have I not been good enough to you? This can't be." He sighed and glanced to the side. "Hey, here we go, brothers, stand up straight. This publicity campaign has to be professional."
The young people all have good looks and different styles, but they are all bright and handsome. Under the illumination of the lights, there are cute cartoon dolls behind them.
At that moment, the joy in the amusement park became vivid and colorful, multicolored and vibrant.
