Bai Ningbing’s tone carried a hint of doubt, and Lin Guanqi was a bit curious—what was she thinking?
She wondered, is there something strange about the Ferris wheel?
To Lin Guanqi, it was simply an idea that popped into his head.
There was nothing particularly significant about it. Could it be that she misunderstood something?
“What are you thinking? Could it be you don’t want to ride the Ferris wheel with me? Then I’ll just go ride it alone.”
Bai Ningbing grabbed Lin Guanqi; she didn’t know why she’d brought this up all of a sudden.
But if you said she wasn’t willing, she’d be the first to protest—she’d dreamt of something like this happening.
“Of course I’ll go with you. If I don’t go with you, who else would you go with? Tell me, and I’ll take care of them.”
A jealous woman really is frightening.
“Hey, hey, hey, whether you’re jealous or not, you still need to buy a ticket.”
The ticket seller looked at the two, surprised to see a scene right out of a yuri novel happening in real life.
“No, no, no, you’ve got it all wrong.”
The ticket seller looked a little puzzled and then asked, “Aren’t you two that kind of relationship? Looks like I misunderstood. You two really match, though. You must have a boyfriend, right? You’re so cute!”
Suddenly, the ticket seller felt a chill coming from behind. Bai Ningbing was glaring at him fiercely, as if if he said the word ‘no’ right now, he’d be in mortal danger.
“Well, that’s not exactly…”
“We’re… something more than friends, but not quite lovers yet!”
The ticket seller scratched the back of their head. Was there even such a relationship?
More than friends, not quite lovers—what kind of relationship was that?
“If you said more than friends, not quite a married couple, I’d get it—that means boyfriend and girlfriend. But more than friends, not quite lovers? What does that even mean?”
At that moment, Bai Ningbing stepped forward and interrupted the ticket seller.
“You’re talking too much, a bit too nosy. You can shut up now.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll be quiet. Here are your tickets, please take them.”
Bai Ningbing paid, then immediately pulled Lin Guanqi into the amusement park. Inside, the Ferris wheel was something she once knew intimately—a dream haunted by a thousand souls.
Lin Guanqi felt a bit strange. It was clearly her first time here, so why did it feel so familiar, like she’d been here before?
“This is really strange, Bai Ningbing. I actually feel like this place is familiar. Do you think I’m getting sick?”
When Bai Ningbing heard this, her eyes lit up.
Could she be starting to remember those things?
“You said you feel familiar with this place. Did you remember anything?”
Bai Ningbing’s tone was more excited than ever.
Lin Guanqi shook her head, then said doubtfully,
“I didn’t remember anything. I just felt that this place seemed familiar, but nothing came to mind. Why do you ask?”
Seeing that Lin Guanqi hadn’t recalled anything, Bai Ningbing didn’t push it.
“It’s nothing. Let’s go ride the Ferris wheel.”
“Yeah, if we don’t get on now, we might miss the sunset.”
The two didn’t continue talking and headed up to the Ferris wheel.
“I heard that if you make a wish when the Ferris wheel reaches its highest point, it’ll come true,” Lin Guanqi said.
“So you actually believe in that? I think it’s just something con artists say, because someone once told me the same thing.”
The so-called ‘con artist’ Bai Ningbing referred to was actually just someone she herself thought of that way.
“Who was this con artist? To have fooled you, they must have been really clever, right?”
Lin Guanqi was curious. Who could have tricked someone as sharp and smart as her? Even she wasn’t sure she’d be able to pull it off.
“I was tricked, but the person who tricked me was a really cute one, so I forgave her.”
“You actually forgave her? Who is she to you, that you’d be willing to forgive?”
Bai Ningbing didn’t answer. She just smiled.
Because the person she was looking for had already been found, she had already forgiven.
She didn’t ask any more after that.
Instead, she enjoyed the relaxing time atop the Ferris wheel.
After all, once they returned to school tomorrow, there wouldn’t be such luxuries. Every day would be filled with listening to that old tortoise drone on in class. They say every family has its own hard-to-recite scripture, but after coming here, it feels like Jia Jia’s class is the hard one!
The Ferris wheel was about to reach its highest point.
At that moment, Bai Ningbing suddenly spoke, “Do you know when I last came here?”
Lin Guanqi was confused—how could she possibly know? After all, she hadn’t been in this world for long.
“How could I know when you last came? We only just met, after all. If I knew that, wouldn’t I be some kind of prophet?”
Lin Guanqi joked.
“You said that when the Ferris wheel reaches the highest point, a wish can come true. I want to make a wish now.”
The Ferris wheel slowly climbed to its peak, just as the setting sun appeared before them—everything seemed to line up perfectly.
The warm sunlight set the mood.
“What do you want to wish for? Maybe it’ll actually work.”
Lin Guanqi smiled.
“Then I want to wish that the person I love, loves me back.”
Bai Ningbing’s wish was clearly about her, and… aren’t the two of them sitting a bit too close?
“You’re too close. Your lips are almost touching mine…”
Bai Ningbing’s voice was soft, whispering in her ear.
“Can I make another wish? This one you can help me fulfill.”
Bai Ningbing had indeed helped her a lot before, and had given her many things.
If it was a small favor, maybe she could help.
As long as it was within her power.
“If I can help you, I’d be happy to—as long as it’s within my ability.”
At that moment, Lin Guanqi still didn’t know what Bai Ningbing’s wish would be, but soon she would realize what she had agreed to.
“This wish, you can grant it. You don’t even need to do anything. Would you be willing?”
“But you’ll have to tell me what it is first.”
Lin Guanqi wasn’t that gullible. She wasn’t about to agree before even hearing the wish. What if… it was something bad?
“I want to kiss you. That’s something you can do, right?”
Bai Ningbing’s sudden words made Lin Guanqi’s delicate body tremble.
How could she say that so directly? Didn’t she feel embarrassed?
“You want to kiss me?”
Lin Guanqi’s cheeks turned slightly red.
