The truck split up when it was about to enter the city. The two jumped off the haystack and said goodbye to the driver. Lu Rankong wanted to hail a taxi, but Lan Yu pulled him to the side of the road and said, "Get rid of the hay stalks on your body and hair first. It will be embarrassing if someone sees you like this."
The two of them were picking grass stems for each other behind some big trees on the roadside. After picking a few, Lu Rankong wanted to go out, but he was stopped by him again, "Shirt, tuck in your shirt. Your jacket is too wrinkled from being soaked in water. Just put it under your arm. Come here and let me smooth your hair for you."
Lu Rankong stopped, bent his body slightly, and patiently let Lan Yu straighten his collar and comb his hair.
Lan Yu checked it one last time, stretched out her shirt, and said with dissatisfaction, "Go out, you can barely see people now."
There were already a lot of vehicles passing by here, and I quickly stopped a taxi.
"Where are you going, gentlemen?" asked the driver.
Lu Rankong looked at Lan Yu.
"Let's go to whichever shopping mall is closest nearby," said Lan Yu.
After the driver turned around, Lu Rankong whispered, "We still have to go ride the Ferris wheel. I'm afraid we don't have much time to go shopping in the mall."
Lan Yu glanced at him and lowered her voice and said, "You mentioned the Ferris wheel several times along the way. I tell you, if you don't change your clothes and look like this, you can go find a Ferris wheel by yourself. I won't go with you."
"I'm just saying, shopping in the mall is still fun." Lu Rankong said.
After getting off the bus, Lan Yu stood at the front of the bus, took out Lu Rankong's card and paid the fare. Then she held it between her fingers and waved it at Lu Rankong, saying, "There are 280 credit points left."
The two of them stepped into the bright shopping mall. Even though they were in a dishevel, they behaved in a chic manner. Their excellent appearance and temperament attracted the attention of many people.
The salesgirl's eyes lit up as she introduced the products to the two of them enthusiastically.
"You two are so handsome. The new styles in our store are perfect for you. I've seen so many customers trying on clothes, and only you two can wear them so well."
Lan Yu herself was wearing a milky white casual suit. She looked at Lu Rankong in front of her who was wearing the same dark blue suit, and felt very satisfied.
It’s really handsome, so handsome.
Just the price is a bit expensive.
Before he wore clothes, he never cared about the price, but it was different now, he had to consider the future.
The combined salary of the two is pretty good. As long as they stop spending recklessly, it will be enough to buy a house.
I am going to retire, and I haven't thought about where to settle down after retirement, so I just need to rent a house. But once I want to settle down, I will face the problem of buying a house.
Also, if the baby comes, there will be more places to spend money.
"Once you two put on couple outfits, I've never seen a better match than you two." The salesgirl could see the relationship between the two of them, and although she just wanted to sell clothes, she said this sincerely.
When Lan Yu heard this, she immediately said, "Buy them. I want both sets."
It's not a big deal.
Compared to Lan Yu, Lu Rankong had no concept of money at all. When he saw him paying by transferring credit points, he was not surprised at all, as if he was just buying a candy at a roadside stall. He didn't think that he only had 280 credit points, so there was nothing wrong with letting Lan Yu pay the bill, and he looked very confident.
Lan Yu became alert. She couldn't let him touch the salary card he gave her, otherwise he would turn it into a pile of scrap metal without any care.
The two went to buy new shoes. After getting dressed from head to toe, Lu Rankong picked up the paper bag containing two sets of military uniforms and followed Lan Yu out of the mall, like a competent gigolo.
Next, we found a pretty good restaurant to have dinner. By the time we finished eating and went out, it was already dark. I looked at the time and it was past eight o'clock in the evening.
While Lu Rankong was in the restaurant, he called the military to pick them up, and it would take about an hour or two for them to arrive. The two were not in a hurry and walked slowly along the street.
There were neon lights on both sides and pedestrians were crowded on the street. Lu Rankong held Lan Yu's left hand and held a paper bag in his right hand. From time to time, he had to block the people who were about to bump into him.
Lan Yu has been in the military camp for a long time. The city lights that she used to think were ordinary now seem interesting everywhere. She wants to visit everywhere. He bought this and looked at that along the way, and before he knew it, both of Lu Rankong's hands were full of bags, with two hanging around his neck.
There was a street artist playing the violin in front of them, and it sounded pretty good. Just as Lan Yu was about to walk closer, she heard Lu Rankong's excited voice: "Xiao Yu, look, look quickly."
He turned his head and saw Lu Rankong pointing across the street with his right hand holding the bag, "Ferris wheel, it's a Ferris wheel."
Lan Yu looked in the direction she wanted and saw a Ferris wheel in the distance, hidden behind tall buildings with only a small part of it visible.
He didn't see this the last time he came to Bell City, so it must have just been built.
"Xiaoyu, we have just completed the third step, riding the Ferris wheel." Lu Rankong said to him with shining eyes.
Unexpectedly, he was so persistent about that step of the date. Lan Yu thought helplessly, okay, just let him go and sit down.
Seeing that the Ferris wheel was not far from here, probably just a few blocks away, the two crossed the street and walked in that direction.
Lu Rankong explained as he walked: "Although we have our own way of dating, we must also follow the ancient rituals."
"Who said riding a Ferris wheel is an ancient ritual? This is the first time I've heard of it." Lan Yu was a little amused.
Lu Rankong said quickly: "We still need to kiss. Kiss. This is the key point of the ceremony."
The Ferris wheel looked very close, but in fact, when the two of them arrived, they had already walked at least seven or eight blocks and finally entered a city park.
This should be a newly built park. The trees have only been planted a few days ago. Each tree has nutrient solution hanging on it and is supported by supports all around. Some places that were obviously intended to be flower beds were still bare yellow mud. There was no one inside, only one or two workers could be seen in the distance.
They walked along the path with piles of sand from time to time until they came to the Ferris wheel and stopped.
"It's not open at all. It must have just been repaired and hasn't been opened yet." Lan Yu looked up and said at the motionless Ferris wheel above.
Looking around again, there were piles of steel equipment everywhere that had not yet been moved away. The door of the control room not far away was also locked, and the colorful paint on the walls looked like it had just been painted.
Lu Rankong looked up at the Ferris wheel in silence. After a moment, he said sadly, "Let's go, and we'll talk about it when we have a chance."
"Well, okay." Lan Yu said.
The two left the city park and came to the street, walking slowly along the way back. When passing by a movie theater, Lu Rankong just turned his head to take a look, and seeing that Lan Yu did not stop, he continued to walk forward.
"Why do you want to ride the Ferris wheel so much? Watching a movie is step two. I think you can just skip the second step, and you don't miss it so much." Lan Yu couldn't help asking.
Lu Rankong was stunned after hearing this. He thought for a while and was about to speak, but hesitated and closed his mouth, with an embarrassment on his face.
Lan Yu looked at him stealthily, and seeing his expression, she became even more curious, so she asked, "Tell me, why do you insist on riding that Ferris wheel? If you want to talk about excitement, wouldn't it be more exciting to drive a mecha yourself? Why do you like it so much?"
"We don't have to ride the Ferris wheel, we have to kiss on it." Lu Rankong corrected solemnly.
Lan Yu thought to herself that this man, who could hold her down and kiss her on the haystack in the pickup truck, was not someone who pursued romance. There must be other reasons for being so obsessed with a Ferris wheel.
"Tell me the truth quickly, don't try to hide it from me." Lan Yu said.
"This is the truth..."
Lan Yu said expressionlessly: "Your materials fill up a whole box. If I throw a few away, you probably won't notice."
"It seems there is another reason. Let me think about it."
"Don't try to make up stories. I can tell whether what you say is true or not." Lan Yu's eyes were extremely sharp.
Lu Rankong hesitated for a while and said, "I was a late comer to the understanding of love. I was still a teenager. I watched a video. The video showed some beautiful tourist attractions in various star systems. One of the scenes was a Ferris wheel somewhere. I saw two people kissing in the top compartment."
He smiled shyly: "Maybe this will become my original dream of love. It must be great to kiss my lover on the top of the Ferris wheel."
Lan Yu was stunned after hearing this, and a picture instantly appeared in front of him: the afternoon sun was shining on the lawn, and a handsome boy who was still childish was bathing in the sun, his eyes were clean and pure. He watched the video in front of him and was touched by the sweet kiss. From then on, he was full of longing for this kind of relationship...
Lan Yu's heart softened. Lu Rankong in front of her seemed to have become that young boy again, growing up slowly with beautiful visions of the future, until he finally had a complete love.
I am his lover, how can I not fulfill his wish?
Definitely not.
"Let's go back and ride the Ferris wheel." Lan Yu took the bag from Lu Rankong's hand and pulled him with the other hand.
Lu Rankong said, "Forget it. They haven't opened yet. There will be another chance in the future. I'll go sit there next time I come to Bell City."
"No, you have to sit down now." Lan Yu said firmly.
Lu Rankong said in embarrassment: "But they are all closed... If you want to sit, we can come as soon as they are open, okay?"
"No, I want to sit now." Lan Yu insisted.
Lu Rankong sighed helplessly, and said lovingly: "I really can't do anything about you, but how do we get up there?"
Lan Yu was stunned. Yes, he just wanted to go up, but the place was not open. How could he go up? Should I ask for the contact information of the project manager and ask him to open it for a while?
Lu Rankong said again: "Forget it, forget it, let's go. Do we have to climb up to ride a Ferris wheel that's not open to the public?"
Yes, you can climb up.
Lan Yu took his hand and turned to walk towards the Ferris wheel, saying lightly: "With our skills, climbing a Ferris wheel is a very easy task."
As long as he doesn't let the person he loves have any regrets, what does it matter if he climbs a Ferris wheel?
After a while, the two stood under the Ferris wheel again and looked up. The surrounding neon lights illuminate this area, and the huge Ferris wheel stands quietly in the lights, with the upper half hidden in the high night sky.
Lu Rankong asked Lan Yu: "Are you sure you want to go up?"
"Sure……"
"good……"
Lu Rankong put a pile of bags on the lawn next to him, stretched his neck, and said to Lan Yu: "Do you want me to help you?"
"Then let's have a comparison."
Lan Yu jumped up, easily grabbed the horizontal iron railing and climbed up, climbing all the way up along the large ring of the Ferris wheel. Lu Rankong followed closely behind, his movements were agile and vigorous, and he did not miss a single step.
As the two climbed higher and higher, the lights of the city were right under their feet. Looking around, it looks like a sea of stars, connected to the sky.
In the whistling wind, her hair was blown back and the hem of her clothes was also blown up. Lan Yu climbed halfway up and looked down while holding onto the iron railing which was over 200 meters high. She felt a little dizzy and a strong sense of disbelief.
——He would never have thought that one day he would climb a closed Ferris wheel, and it wasn’t for acting.
At the same time, my adrenaline surged and I felt very excited.
"It's okay, I'll protect you down there." Lu Rankong looked up at him, his eyes as bright as the stars.
"You better take care of yourself."
Lan Yu looked him up and down, snorted with disdain, turned around and continued to move upwards. Lu Rankong smiled and followed him more closely.
After a while, the two finally climbed to the top of the Ferris wheel. Lu Rankong took out a small tool he carried with him and opened the top cockpit neatly.
"Go in..." The wind was a bit strong, so he raised his voice slightly.
Lan Yu stepped on the iron railing and stepped forward, then leaped into the cockpit. Lu Rankong followed in and closed the door.
The cockpit shook slightly. Inside were two rows of double seats facing each other. After Lan Yu sat down, Lu Rankong also sat next to him.
Lan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the scenery outside through the glass window, a smile appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but say: "The view up there is really great, look at those lights in the distance, don't they look like--"
Before he could finish his words, Lu Rankong beside him hugged him, and two hot lips pressed down on him, holding him and sucking.
"Um... do you want to... take a look outside and gather your emotions first..." Lan Yu asked with difficulty in the gap.
Lu Rankong panted slightly and said, "I have been preparing myself for a long time. You don't know how attractive you looked when you were climbing the iron railing just now. I was afraid that I would not be able to climb up and would fall down if I lost my concentration halfway."
Lan Yu tried hard to push him away a little bit, but her lips were still held, so she could only say incoherently: "This is your dream when you were young. You have been thinking about the Ferris wheel for so many years, don't you want to look outside and say something?"
Lu Rankong continued to tighten his arms, and his lips moved to his neck, and he said with a burning breath: "What's so good about the outside? I just want to see you."
Lan Yu originally imagined that after the two of them came up, they would look at the lights and the distance, talk about love for a while, and then lean on each other, and finally kiss in a romantic atmosphere...
As a result, when this person came up, he skipped all the procedures and hugged and kissed him, completely destroying his poetic imagination.
He pushed Lu Rankong away and said angrily, "Why don't you look outside, feel it, and recall it?"
Lu Rankong's hands were still around his waist, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I'm feeling..."
Lan Yu sensed something was wrong, grabbed the hand around her waist, narrowed her eyes, and asked, "Did you trick me into coming up here? There's no such thing as a kissing video on a Ferris wheel?"
"Yes, it really is. It was only after watching the video that I realized what was going on..." said Lu Rankong.
A guess came to Lan Yu's mind. She pushed his face away and asked coldly, "What video did you watch?"
Seeing Lu Rankong was stunned for a moment, he shouted again: "Speak..."
Lu Rankong finally calmed down a bit, shifted his sitting position awkwardly, and tugged at his trouser legs.
Lan Yu glanced down and said, "Brother Bao, this is a little too enthusiastic."
"It's, it's okay." Lu Rankong said.
"Then tell me, what video did you watch?"
Lu Rankong's eyes wandered as he said, "Just two people kissing in the Ferris wheel."
"Nothing else?"
"There's something else."
"What is it?"
Lu Rankong closed his mouth.
"explain!"
"Maybe the weather is a little hot, so I took off some clothes or something." He said vaguely.
"Yeah?"
Lu Rankong did not answer, but began to look out the window, pointing at the lights in the distance and said in a deep voice: "That should be the direction we came from. The view from here is particularly good."
Lan Yu raised one leg, leaned against the back of the chair and looked at him, with one hand on her leg, tapping slowly, "I think I understand what you are looking at."
"I don't know how long it will take for the military's car to arrive. Maybe we can still see it here." Lu Rankong continued.
Lan Yu said, "Don't change the subject, it's useless. Let's continue what we were talking about at the beginning. Was this the idea you had in mind from the beginning?"
"As couples, when their love is deep, there will definitely be some feelings. Isn't that what it means to be unable to control one's feelings?" Lu Rankong was still looking out the window.
"Where did you watch the video?" Lan Yu asked calmly.
"I watched it at home..."
Without waiting for Lan Yu to reply, Lu Rankong turned to look at him, met his eyes that saw through everything, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "I read it while hiding under the covers at night."
"I came to understand things very late, and I have a little understanding of love." Lan Yu imitated Lu Rankong's tone at the beginning, and added a look of longing, "Maybe this will become my original dream of love. Kissing my lover on the top of the Ferris wheel, that must be great."
Those clean and pure eyes, and that young man lying on the lawn in the sunshine, were all illusions.
"What I said was not wrong. I really didn't understand before." Lu Rankong defended, "And because I like you so much, I want to be with you--"
"Shut up..." Lan Yu said coldly.
Lu Rankong remained silent.
