As Tokyo enters winter and Christmas again, the champagne trees on both sides of the road are full of foliage, and if the pale gold leaves are lit up at night, the blue and white illuminations of the entire street will be transformed into a dazzling Milky Way.

Although it was not yet nine o'clock in the morning, the outline of the amusement park could be seen outside the car window, and as I approached, I was greeted by the huge logo doll sculpture and the towering Ferris wheel at the entrance.

Erika Ikuta sat in the taxi a little dazed, the ticket was placed in the outermost pocket of her bag, her fingers outlining the shape of the pocket, and her mind drifted around unconsciously.

If it weren't for the fact that the ticket was about to expire, Xingjian Weibu might not have offered to go to the playground, after all, she had seen a lot of knowledge in the past few years, but the expectation in her heart was like a summer soda, no matter how gentle the action of pouring into the cup was, she still couldn't help but burst out a series of bubbles because of a small gesture.

Hoshimi should like her, Ikuta always thought so, until she came to her senses, she also noticed the other people around Hoshimi, she was not the only choice of the other party.

It's not the only one.,It means that Hoshimi goes to the bookstore to meet Asuka.,Mahjong will find Hana.,When you see an interesting manga, you'll be the first to share it with Nishino or Matsumura.,Occasionally when you're tired, you'll hide behind Wakatsuki or Sakurai and sleep.,Even if you have something on your mind, you'll choose to knock on the door of Hashimoto's house and talk all night.,And then the next day I'll sweat desperately in the practice room with Hinaya soaking.。

Slowly, when she came back to her senses, Hoshimi seemed to be surrounded by four high walls, and there was not even a small gap left for her.

During the time when she entered the university, she was busy every day, but she clearly remembered that when she was interviewed at an event, the host asked her to share her recent interesting experience with her friends in the group, and she blurted out Hoshimi's name, but when she began to tell the interesting experience, she suddenly found that the last time the two of them had a separate experience was a long time ago.

She remembers that after the interview that day, she took her mobile phone and prepared to send a message to Hoshimi, she roughly flipped through the chat records of the two, I don't know when it began, the most common conversation between the two was no longer to share interesting recipes, daily food and life stories, but to simple cheering, polite greetings and shared itinerary arrangements.

She pinched the phone pendant in a daze, the little white piano faded a little, and the edges of the keys turned pale gray, as if the thin thread between the two of them was gradually stretched longer and darker at a moment she didn't realize.

If affection could really be condensed into a red thread, she thought, the red thread between her and Hoshimi would be intertwined with each other's knuckles, inadvertently falling off their fingertips.

Ikuta thought wildly, his fingers gently rubbing the last knuckle of his left ring finger. When did you realize it? It was probably when she went back that day, and she lay in bed and flipped through Hoshimi's blog one by one.

Hoshimi is a person who likes to record life very much, and the blog is always updated very frequently, so that she brushes until she is dizzy and has not brushed to the last one she saw, and then her eyes are so sore that she has to stop and rub her eyes, just like this, the page is returned and refreshed by her.

When she was uncomfortably half-squinting and looking for eye drops to save her dry eyes, the picture of Hoshimi and Hiya smiling heartily came into view, and she directly broke the disposable eye drops.

Ikuta is also surprised when she thinks about it now, she is actually a very thoughtful person, although she always acts like a tiger that has just come out of the mountain before the star meets, and she is very powerful, but she will not turn off the phone in anger and continue to get angry after rashly disturbing others at night.

She thought that there were signs of some things, but she was busy fighting with her ideals, sweating on the staves and missing the scene of the new shoots breaking through the ground, and when she was free to take a closer look, the original green shoots did not know when they would grow luxuriantly, and it was a lush maple tree outside the window, which covered her whole body, and she was unwilling to leave because of the shade under the tree.

She wasn't angry with Hoshimi at all during that time, she was just angry with herself, angry at the possessiveness that inexplicably welled up in her heart, angry Ikuta, who had always been full of confidence, would suddenly vent her strength, turning over and over to confirm her uniqueness in front of the other party, but there was no clue.

This nameless anger reached its peak when she saw Hoshimi's empty backpack, the black piano that had been hanging from Hoshimi's backpack was nowhere to be seen, and who knows how much she was wronged by the magazine she was flipping through after Hoshimi hurriedly left the backpack that day. In short, it is completely unlikely, and the residue of the book cover that cannot be torn is also a bitter appearance.

"Big liar!" Ikuta sat in the back seat of the car and muttered, his voice so low that only he could hear it.

Ikuta thought that the long letter was a confession, folded it neatly and folded it in the desk drawer, and from time to time he would take it out and look at it and snicker, and the ticket was also neatly placed next to the letterhead, and the letter paper was wrinkled by her, so she reluctantly found the envelope and stuffed it, and then clamped the book and sealed it properly.

After looking forward to the amusement park trip for so long, looking forward to the fact that the soda was almost out of gas and only the sweetness of saccharin remained, the liar Hoshimi remembered about it, and the ghost knew if she suddenly cleaned up the house and found out, and only remembered to ask her when it was almost expired.

Ikuta thought as he checked out and got out of the car at the reminder of the taxi driver.

Ikuta looked at the team at the wicket and looked up at the towering Ferris wheel, the Ferris wheel is a suitable place for confession, although it is cliché, and she is a very 'reasonable' person, this kind of cliché thing she doesn't mind doing once, of course, it is based on the last time Hoshimi has confessed.

She thought that if that confession was just her own misunderstanding, she would screw her off the ferris wheel with her head in sight.

Just as she was thinking, the warm coffee can was attached to Ikuta's face, and she jumped to the side in fright.

"What are you doing? Scared me. Ikuta turned to look at the initiator, Hoshimi angrily raised his hand and slapped her.

"I didn't do anything, I just asked you for coffee, hot, take it and warm your hands." Hoshimi handed over the warm coffee, took a sip of it himself, and said with a smile, "The temperature is just right, it won't be hot." ”

"Let's go to the line, what do you want to play first when you go in later?"

Ikuta followed Hoshimi towards the entrance, glanced up at the Ferris wheel and looked at the translucent sky, took a sip of coffee without speaking, and threw the question back as if unintentionally, "I haven't thought about it yet, what do you want to play?" ”

Hoshimi looked at her amusedly, glanced at the Ferris wheel along her line of sight just now, and smiled, "Why don't you take the Ferris wheel once?" You were just looking at that, right? ”

"So fast?!" Ikuta's face was crimson with shame.

"What's so fast?" Hoshimi looked at her with a puzzled expression, and didn't forget to lead her forward, "You mean the Ferris wheel?" The Ferris wheel is quite fast to sit on a round, and the queue is also fast. ”

Ikuta shook his head in a panic, and pointed to a building casually, saying, "I want to play that first." ”

Hoshimi looked at her finger and asked in surprise, "Are you sure?" You don't have to play that big at first, right? Let's play something gentle, like the one that 'travels in space' and spins on a chair? ”

"What's that big?" Ikuta looked over and found that he was pointing to the highest jumping machine in the playground, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, his mouth slightly open but he didn't make a sound.

"I'll just say you can't, let's play something else first, like the shorter ......"

"Whoever says I can't do it, just sit on that first!"

Hoshimi looked at Ikuta's strong man's broken wrist, and remembered the other party's usual style of acting for a while, so he helplessly pulled Ikuta into the line.

As she expected, as the team gradually moved forward, the degree of fine sweat oozing from Ikuta's palms became stronger and stronger, and Hoshimi looked at at least four or five rounds before the two of them, and looked at Ikuta's already nervous appearance of not speaking, and sighed.

"I think it's going to be a long time to line up for this, or we'll go play first...... Dodgem? Hoshimi struggled between bumper cars and spinner cups, and chose a bumper car that was a little more exciting.

"Okay." Ikuta no longer hesitated this time, and took the initiative to respond to Hoshimi's proposal, and dragged Hoshimi along the railing to walk out, and the appearance of escaping was particularly obvious, but Ikuta's determined appearance and pretended calm pace made the two look like they were leaving because of other things.

Led by the fearless Ikuta, one morning Hoshimi and Ikuta team up to play all the entertainment that children under the age of twelve can try.

"Shall you go get something to eat first?" Hoshimi looked at Ikuta's excited look with satisfaction.

"What to eat?"

"What else can you eat at the playground, it's usually just a quick snack or something, and we're in the children's area now, and there's a restaurant just a few steps away."

The winter sun is particularly comfortable, the sun is warm, and the wind is gentle. The heavy coat was tacitly handed over to Hoshimi, and the two looked for the restaurant side by side, but accidentally passed by the Ferris wheel.

Ikuta looked at the queue because it was lunchtime, and the crowd was sparse and sparse, and remembered the plan that had been circling in her mind since the day Hoshimi asked her to go out, and couldn't help but stop.

Hoshimi then stopped to look at her, glanced at the crowd that was not crowded, and remembered that Ikuta had been paying attention to the Ferris wheel since he arrived at the amusement park in the morning, and couldn't help but smile: "It just so happens that there are not many people passing by, if Ichiku-chan is not in a hurry to eat now, let's go sit in a circle first, and then go to eat." ”

Ikuta didn't say anything, neither agreed nor refused, just covered his mouth awkwardly, and his toes touched the ground with a strange twist.

Hoshimi could only drag Ikuta away, dragged all the way into the team, and was put into the Ferris wheel by the staff without waiting for a few minutes.

Ikuta hadn't looked up at Hoshimi since she sat down, the tips of her shoes colliding with each other, her fingers clasping the edge of the seat.

Hoshimi looked into the distance with a pleasant face, didn't notice Ikuta's strange behavior, and mistook it for Ikuta's fear of heights, she looked at the scenery in the distance becoming more and more empty, raised her hand and pointed to the Tokyo Tower in the distance and said, "Is Ichiku-chan scared?" It's okay, it's safe here, just don't look down, you see, you can see Tokyo Tower from here. ”

Ikuta looked up at Hoshimi's shining eyes, and the midday sun suddenly became dazzling, so she didn't dare to take her eyes off the window to look at the scenery, so she could only look straight at Hoshimi.

The Ferris wheel began to slide down its apex under Ikuta's sudden wooden snort.

"It's going down, it looks like it's going to be fast-"

I don't know if Hoshimi's "drop" stimulated Ikuta, she panicked and looked at the window slowly sinking, with a bitter look on her face, Hoshimi was worried that she would cry in the next second.

Hoshimi hurriedly patted Ikuta's shoulder and comforted, "It's okay, Ichiku-chan likes it and makes it again after a while." ”

"No, it's not! Missed the apex! ”

"If you miss it, you miss it, and you can do it again later."

"No! What if you miss it again! ”

Hoshimi looked at Ikuta helplessly, looking at the other party's melancholy voice, his voice was softer, and he comforted in a soft voice: "Actually, it's not a miss, we went to the top of the Ferris wheel together before we went down, didn't we?" It's just that Ichiku-chan may not have seen the scenery at the apex, so we'll just look at it again later, and I'll definitely warn you. ”

Ikuta complained aggrievedly, "It's not the same at all! I'm not here to see the scenery! ”

"Huh? Not for the sake of seeing the scenery and for what? ”

Hoshimi looked at Ikuta curiously, only to see Ikuta's face becoming redder and redder at a speed visible to the naked eye, like the red light of the sun scattered on the glass window when he was just past the apex, and now it was stained on Ikuta's cheeks.

"The vertex is not a very important thing."

"How can it not matter! Everyone said that the confession at the apex of the Ferris wheel would be successful! ”

"But you don't confess......"

Without waiting for Hoshimi to finish speaking, Ikuta shouted at her loudly, "Who said I don't confess!" ”

Hoshimi met Ikuta's serious eyes, and the dodge, peeping, nervousness, and anticipation in his eyes were unobstructed, and it was a view that could not be seen from the apex of the Ferris wheel.

Obviously the person who said the confession was not herself, Hoshimi was also inexplicably nervous, opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound, she could only look at the two small fists clenched on both sides of Ikuta's legs, which reminded her of herself who read the letter on the day of the Valentine's Day special.

Hoshimi suddenly discovered that sometimes the shyness that ran out of her heart inexplicably may not be because she read out the hypocritical words in public, but because she didn't dare to let the other party see the true intention she wanted to express, and at the same time she was afraid of the other party's rejection.

"As I said, you don't have to confess."

In the middle of the night, the Ferris wheel slowly fell, the door was opened by the staff, and the two walked out one after the other.

Before the door was opened, Ikuta looked at Hoshimi with red eyes, and the words 'no need to confess' were like a knife slashing her ears and then opening her heart, stabbing her so painful that her limbs were clumsy, and she didn't remember how she got off the Ferris wheel, and followed Hoshimi to the candy shop.

"I'm a little hungry, can Ichiku sauce please me for candy?"

Ikuta's eyes were as red as rabbits, and the corners of his eyes were filled with tears, but he bit his lower lip and took his wallet out of his pocket without saying a word, and then threw it into Hoshimi's arms and squatted down.

Hoshimi stupidly held his wallet to pay, but as a result, the marshmallow silently squatted beside Ikuta.

The people of the amusement park came and went, and a pair of feet fluttered briskly in front of Ikuta's eyes, and the lovers who came and went in and out on the weekend before Christmas saw that she was so angry that she wanted to burn it clean and burn the sourness in her heart.

"Do you eat sugar?" Hoshimi handed the marshmallow to Ikuta's mouth.

Ikuta looked back at her, only to see that the other party's face was full of smiles, as if it was not her who rejected her ruthlessly just now, and scolded hatefully in her heart: You know how to eat.

But reason tells Ikuta that she still needs this person, even if it's a friend. She could only take a bite aggrievedly, and her tears suddenly fell on the marshmallow, burning a hole in the fluffy sugar.

"Why are you crying? Isn't it sweet? ”

Hoshimi looked at her nervously, only Ikuta's reflection was left in his eyes, and he only felt that Ikuta was stuffed with a liter of lemon juice in his heart, which was very sour, and he wanted to escape but couldn't give up those damn eyes.

Ikuta secretly scolded himself for not being angry, and he could only bite his lip to suppress his crying, and only said sullenly after a while, "Sweet." ”

Hoshimi raised his hand to carefully wipe away the tears that fell from the other party, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were all proud and showing off, as if he had caught up with spring in advance, and his tone was bright.

"Of course it's sweet, my girlfriend bought it for me."

Ikuta's eyes widened as he looked at her, tears were stuck in his sockets and swirling, and he could see that Hoshimi began to feel inexplicably weak.

"Me? You're not..... What does that mean? No, I ....." Hoshimi stammered, completely unsure of what to do with the current scene.

Ikuta looked at Hoshimi's sudden panic and finally broke into a smile, and bit off a large piece of marshmallow in the other party's hand, and the wooden stick appeared clearly, "Sweet, does my girlfriend want to eat another one?" ”

"Yes. We also had to do a roller coaster ride together. ”
