As the Ford Interceptor drove out of the Four Seasons Hotel, he could hear the clamor of fans on the other side.

No one guessed that Taylor would be encouraged to leave the game.

No one would have guessed that she would sit in such an ordinary car.

After coming out of the hotel, I can run into a few paparazzi from time to time.

These people are yawning, checking their cameras in boredom, not even noticing the big news they have been dreaming of passing by.

"Where are we going?"

Seeing that he had perfectly avoided these people, Taylor excitedly tinkered with the furnishings in the car.

"Don't move."

When her hand reached for a button, Ethan quickly stopped her: "It's a siren switch, if you want to get the attention of those around you, just press it." ”

"Got it."

Taylor stuck out his tongue and quickly withdrew his hand.

As for where to go, Ethan already had a plan in mind, which was nothing more than to take her to relax and escape from these pressures for a short time.

You can't go to a crowded place, it's asking for trouble.

It's not far from Navy Pier, it's freezing cold, and there shouldn't be many people over there, so you can go shopping.

A few minutes later, I saw the Ferris wheel slowly spinning in the distance.

After finding a place to stop the car, the two lowered their hats and walked around slowly.

No need to speak, nothing to say.

Sometimes being able to sit idle and wander around is already a happy enough thing.

Despite the cold weather, there are still a lot of people who come out to play.

Adults and children laugh merrily.

Groups of friends happily feel the night view of Chicago and enjoy a rare time together.

Taylor raised the collar of his cashmere coat and sunglasses, blocking his face tightly, and when he breathed, he spewed out a faint white mist from time to time.

From her relaxed pace, it can be seen that she is in a very good mood now.

"I want coffee."

Seeing a roadside café not far away, Taylor grabbed his collar with his hand and bumped Ethan on the shoulder.

"Okay~"

Ethan unceremoniously stretched out his palm: "What do you want to drink?" ”

"Nonfat caramel latte."

Taylor craned his neck and said, "Do you think I might have money on me?" ”

"You're Miss Billionaire, and you want me to have a treat?" Ethan squinted at her: "I'm poor, with a salary of thousands of dollars a month. ”

"Really? Mr. Multimillionaire. ”

Taylor laughed and replied, "There aren't many poor people like you who live in a multimillion-dollar house. ”

"Please, just a cup of coffee."

She already likes to buy real estate, and she has several properties under her name.

With a casual estimate, you will know how much the place you live in today is worth approximately.

"Okay!"

Ethan took out the change from his pocket and said with a smile, "Taylor begging me for a treat, it should be my honor, right?" ”

"Of course." Taylor lifted his chin proudly:

"This is Taylor Swift, that's something so many people can't ask for!"

"Cut, I'm looking at the guitar."

Ethan decisively hit her: "Don't forget to fulfill your promise." ”

After buying two cups of coffee, the two continued to walk forward, but Taylor suddenly became a little sullen:

"Why are you talking about all this like a deal?"

"I thought we were friends."

Ethan stopped and looked at the slowly spinning Ferris wheel next to him, the neon lights on it flickering in the night sky, and the snowflakes fluttering, which felt a psychedelic feeling.

"So, my friend."

He lifted his chin upwards, "Would you be interested in playing with this?" ”

"Okay!"

Hearing the word friend, Taylor immediately improved his mood and happily took a sip of coffee.

Ethan bought two tickets, three dollars for two people, and was able to turn three times.

Not expensive, not cheap.

The price of a three-pound roast chicken at Costco isn't enough to go around here.

But happiness is the most important thing, not bad money.

Ethan shook the ticket and pointed to the Ferris wheel with a smile: "Let's go, this is my first Ferris wheel trip." ”

"Really?"

Taylor followed him in surprise: "That's a real pleasure for me. ”

As you go to the entrance, you can still hear passers-by from time to time discussing what has just happened.

Some people praise, others scold.

"It's just a blue pool, and she'll always be like that."

"I'm going to the Soldier Field tomorrow to support her and make her hear."

In the face of those abusive words, Ethan thought that Taylor would be angry, but she didn't expect that she didn't pay attention to it at all.

Until she walked into the cockpit, she looked indifferent.

They were lucky enough to have a place to their own because there weren't too many people.

Inside are two rows of leather chairs on the side, and it is no problem to seat eight people.

The light tube under the table and chair emits a blue light, and this light shines on the body, giving people a cold feeling.

The hatch quickly closes and the Ferris wheel begins to turn.

As the height rose, Taylor began to undress as she leaned over the glass, greedily watching the glittering night scene outside.

The colorful neon lights reflected on her face.

Ethan sat opposite her, and looked out the window with her, this is the home of skyscrapers, there are fascinating industrial wonders, countless brightly lit buildings, like a forest.

"I like this."

Ethan had a smile on his face: "Quiet, brilliant, as if watching the city breathe." ”

"That's right." Taylor nodded hurriedly.

"By the way, what did those people just say?" Ethan stretched out his foot and kicked Taylor: "Do you really not care?" ”

"Do you want to be a star?"

Taylor looked out the window and said silently: "If you want, I can bring you into the industry, you definitely have this potential." ”

"When you get into this business, you'll know."

"No matter what you do, no matter how you do it, there will always be people who don't like you."

"Insulting, slandering, complimenting, flattering, everything."

"I once searched for myself online out of curiosity and quickly came to the conclusion that I should never do such a stupid thing again."

Ethan listened quietly, there were many people who were popular, and they were all the same there.

The lights changed color on Taylor's face, and she continued: "Life is like that, when I was a kid, I always wanted to please everybody, thinking that it would be liked by everybody. ”

"I'm slowly figuring out a truth now, it's just me who needs to please."

"Like you said, I just have to be myself."

"It sounds like you're insecure." Ethan shrugged.

"When I was a kid, yes!"

Taylor smiled and looked out the window at the snowflakes: "It's very lacking. ”

The cockpit became quiet and the Ferris wheel continued to turn.

Taylor's eyes flickered with the lights, and the cockpit came to the third lap, slowly rising to the top.

She stood up abruptly and strode over to Ethan. (End of chapter)
