Chapter 62

When the bell rings at eleven o'clock, the entire Ferris wheel blooms with a silvery blue glow, and a golden mascot pattern lights up in the center. Even though the lights of the Ferris wheel are dazzling and breathtaking, I have no intention of appreciating them. After hurriedly taking pictures of the Ferris wheel, I hurriedly pulled Jing Yehang to take the last ride on the Ferris wheel. The staff told us that due to the small waiting time for the last flight, we did not need to share a box with other tourists. I couldn't help but cheer at the thought of not only having a spacious seat to myself, but also having the best vantage point. After a moment of joy, I began to worry about how to get into the box smoothly. I've never been on a Ferris wheel, and even though I'm used to seeing it in motion, I still didn't expect the turntable to stop for a moment when tourists get on and off the box. Following the principle of first down, first up, visitors must wait for the box to empty before leaving to enter the box. As a result, I don't have much time left. I was worried that I would not be able to get to the box in time because I was not quick enough to get on the box, and I was worried that I would accidentally step on the air and fall off the box, so I could only watch the movements of the tourists in front of me with trepidation, hoping to learn some skills from it.

"It's almost us." Jing Yehang patted me lightly on the shoulder, and I came back to my senses.

"Oh......" I moved my feet, but the soles of my feet were numb, and my heels hurt like a knife.

Seeing that the box had reached the ground, the couple inside was still unsatisfied and was reluctant to come out. In desperation, the staff had to come forward to persuade them, and after going back and forth, the couple finally left, and it took a lot of time.

"Don't worry, you can definitely catch up." After saying that, Jing Yehang easily boarded the box, and then pulled me up with a little effort.

The moment I stepped into the box, I noticed it shaking. I stood motionless and looked at Jing Yehang in panic.

"Sit down, you'll be fine soon." Jing Yehang comforted me with a gentle voice.

"Uh...... "......I sat down on tiptoe into my chair stiffly, not even daring to breathe, for fear that the slightest mistake would cause the box to shake again in a frightening way.

I don't know how long it took, but the box was back to a smooth one. I loosened my nerves and tried to move to the window little by little, so that I could look out the window at the wonderful night view.

As the Ferris wheel slowly turned, my vision gradually widened. The tranquility and tranquility of a brightly lit city is more touching than an amusement park shrouded in dreamy lights. The freshness and wonder of the city at night made me feel that I had never taken the heart to see and understand this land that I had known for more than ten years and thought I was very familiar with.

With the neatly arranged lights on both sides of the riverbank, I could vaguely identify the location of Jing Yehang's home, which was much more difficult to find in the neighborhood without special signs. No matter how wide my eyes were, I couldn't find out where my home was.

"The one with a ring of yellow lights on the roof of that building is our school's office building."

Following Jing Yehang's gaze, I quickly found the tall building. "Oh...... So our school is there......"

"Do you see that big park? The school you used to attend was just a few blocks away to the right of it. ”

"Oh! I see it! I smiled and said, "That's amazing!" How did you recognize that? ”

Jing Yehang smiled shyly and didn't answer my words.

"Help me find out where my house is!" I looked at him expectantly and said. In fact, what I want to see most at the moment is Xingyuan's home. However, I didn't know anything about her home other than the address. It would be difficult for Jing Yehang to rely on this clue alone to find the location of Xingyuan's house in the vast dark night. I hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to swallow the words back into my stomach.

"That domed mall, we went there for coffee before, isn't your house near there?" Jing Yehang pointed to the glass of the window and said seriously.

"See!" Looking at the small, familiar and intimate buildings wrapped in soft lighting, my heart was full of warmth.

After discovering and photographing the city's landmarks one by one, I was content to retract my tired gaze and quietly savor the remaining moments of being in the air. The wait is always long. I remember that the staff once introduced that the Ferris wheel takes about 20 minutes to make a circle. At the moment, our box has not yet reached the highest point, and it is still about ten minutes before we can return to the surface. I stole a glance at Jing Yehang, who was sitting opposite, and found that he was holding his chin with his hand, looking out the window fixedly, looking pretentious. I couldn't bear to disturb his interest, and instead looked at the inner workings of the box. The layout of the box is very simple, except for the two soft chairs on the left and right, there are no other furnishings. On the top of the box hangs a small chandelier in the shape of a rose, and the pink petals dye the bright yellow light a gentle pale orange, creating a romantic atmosphere with the melodious music played by the hidden speaker. No wonder the couple lingered...... Enjoying the cool breeze blowing from the air vent, I leaned back in my chair and began to think about it. It turns out that the glass window of the box is airtight...... If the air supply machine fails, won't we be stuffed inside? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. I looked around until I saw the small emergency hammer hanging next to the window, and my anxiety calmed down. Just knock on the glass to breathe fresh air...... Inadvertently, I glanced out the window and saw that our box had risen to the top of the Ferris wheel, but I felt a surge of excitement. The view of the whole city from such a high point is really spectacular. It's just that...... If the wheel of the Ferris wheel stops working, won't we be stuck in mid-air? At such a height, I'm afraid that even a firefighter's ladder can't reach it, right? Thinking of this, my heart trembled again. At that time, I don't know if there will be a helicopter to save us...... Probably sensing that my expression was different, Jing Yehang asked me if I felt scared with a concerned face.

"Nope...... What's there to be afraid of......" I replied with a pretended composure.

"Also, even pirate ships and roller coasters dare to play, the Ferris wheel is nothing to you." Jing Yehang smiled heartily.

When I realized that Jing Yehang was close at hand, somehow, the fear in my heart suddenly disappeared. Of course, I know that when an accident comes, Jing Yehang will most likely not even be able to save himself, let alone save me, but as long as he is by my side, I will feel inexplicably relieved.

Obviously, the silence also made Jing Yehang feel very uncomfortable. After a moment, Jing Yehang pretended to be nonchalantly proposed, "That...... If you're bored, I can chat with you......"

Hearing this, I quickly nodded like pounding garlic. Of course, I didn't prepare anything to talk about in advance, but as long as I can resolve the embarrassment at this time, even if it is just gossip, I am happy to accompany me.

"So......" Jing Yehang scratched his unkempt hair, looking very distressed.

I bowed my head weakly, for fear that Jing Yehang would ask me what I wanted to talk about.

"Or ...... Tell me about my uncle? ”

"Okay!" I smiled with an eyebrow. "By the way, your uncle's name is so interesting, who gave him it?"

"It's said to be my mother'......," Jing Yehang replied with a nonchalant smile.

"Ah...... "I didn't expect that Jing Yehang's poetic name and his uncle's joking name were the work of the same person, but considering her age when she named them, it was not difficult to understand.

"My mother once said that my grandfather was very satisfied with my uncle's name, and he praised his daughter for her talent and intelligence."

After listening to Jing Yehang's words, I immediately had a picture of an uncle who looked like Jing Yehang's uncle showing off his daughter to others everywhere, but I felt that it was funny and warm.

"What about your mother? What's her name? As soon as I said that, I began to regret it. I shouldn't have mentioned these things that made him sad......

"Her name is honorific poetry, which is the name given by my grandfather." After speaking, Jing Yehang fell into deep thought.

"What a beautiful name...... "I muttered. This beautiful name not only reflects the ingenuity of taking celebrities, but also contains a deep fatherly love. I think it was precisely because he had high hopes for his daughter that he was so disappointed in her choice that he even made the unwise decision that he would not forgive her until he died. This is probably the best example of the depth of love and responsibility......

By the time I came to my senses, our box had turned to the top of the Ferris wheel. Looking at the clear starry sky within reach, I was moved for no reason and carried away.

"So you take your mother's surname......" In a trance, I confided in the question hidden in my heart.

Jing Yehang stared at me in a daze, without saying a word, time seemed to stand still, suffocating. After a long time, Jing Yehang asked word by word: "You want to know the reason?" ”

"Will you tell me?" I plucked up the courage to ask rhetorically. I don't know where I got the confidence, but at that time, I was cheeky enough to think that Jing Yehang would not refuse me.

"As long as you're not boring...... Jing Yehang silently took off his black-rimmed glasses and began to tell me about the past with a touch of sadness.

Just like those old-fashioned TV drama plots, Jing Yehang's father ruthlessly abandoned his girlfriend who had been engaged to him for several months in order to climb the high branches. In addition to being sad, Jing Yehang's mother completely saw him as a person and resolutely cut off all contact with him. The reason why she insisted on giving birth to Jing Yehang despite the opposition of her family was not because she still had nostalgia for the man who hated the poor and loved the rich, but because she was too soft-hearted and reluctant to harm the innocent life in her womb. In order to completely clear up the relationship with the negative man, she not only never mentioned his information, but also asked Jing Yehang to follow her surname. She hid all her old acquaintances and raised Jing Yehang alone, until the news of her serious illness spread, and Jing Yehang's father begged to see her for the last time, and then learned of Jing Yehang's existence. Jing Yehang's father felt deeply remorseful, so he signed a pledge before her death, agreeing to leave Jing Yehang in the care of her uncle, give a fixed amount of monthly child support, and never interfere with their lives.

When I heard that Jing Yehang's mother had met his father for the first and only time at his mother's bedside, I was so sad that tears welled up in my eyes and my voice choked. "Do you hate him?"

"I was young and didn't know what hate...... And...... My mom never hated him...... So, I don't know if I hate him or not......"

"In that case, don't think about it, it......'s tiring to hate someone," I whispered relief.

"That's what I often persuade my uncle to ......," Jing Yehang chuckled. For the sake of such cowards, it is not worth ......"

Coward? I looked at Jing Yehang in amazement, not knowing how to respond.

"Although he transferred child support on time every month, my uncle said that he would not use his money. All the child support he has given over the years has been deposited in the bank...... It's the passbook you saw that day...... Because of this senseless stubbornness, my uncle suffered a lot in the first few years, but fortunately he had my grandmother's secret support, otherwise the two of us would have to hug each other and go hungry......"

The more I said it lightly, the more uncomfortable my heart became. I never thought that behind the harmony of their two uncles and nephews, there would be such a heavy past.

When the box returned to the ground, Jing Yehang reached out again to help me down. It was probably the heart-to-heart conversation just now that had a subtle effect on me, giving me the illusion that my relationship with Jing Yehang was going further. The moment I held his hand, I had the idea of not wanting to let go. Until the bell struck twelve o'clock, I was still immersed in the dream I had constructed, and I did not want to wake up......
