In the end, Yan Mo still chose to push Li Hao away. But this time, her answer was to think about it.
When Gu Tianhai took Yan Mo home, they both remained silent, as if neither of them wanted to mention what happened on the bench.
Yan Mo looked out the window at the world of feasting and revelry, while Wang Xinling's song "Still Good Friends" was playing in the car. Gu Tianhai also looked out the window at the busy traffic, and when he glanced in the direction of Yan Mo, Yan Mo turned her head and met his eyes, and they both quickly looked away and continued to look out the window.
Yan Mo lowered her eyes slightly, not knowing what to say to Gu Tianhai. She closed her eyes, propped up her forehead with her hand against the window, and took a short nap accompanied by music.
During that not-so-long journey, she had a very short dream.
In the dream, Li Hao did not go abroad, and they entered the wedding church as promised. The pastor holding the Bible read the wedding vows and asked them if they were willing to become husband and wife. Just as she was about to answer, a pair of hands pulled her away. She looked at the blurry back and heard the man calling her name...
"Yan Mo, we're here, get off the car." Gu Tianhai gently woke up Yan Mo who was sleeping in the car.
Yan Mo slowly opened her eyes and looked out the window at the familiar environment. She followed Gu Tianhai out of the car and returned home. But they remained silent as they washed up and went back to their rooms.
The atmosphere of the night became inexplicably strange. Would this strangeness continue as she and Li Hao reconciled? Yan Mo couldn't think of an answer, and finally fell asleep on the bed.
The next day, when Yan Mo woke up, Gu Tianhai had already gone to work. The prepared breakfast was placed on the dining table. After finishing her breakfast, she returned to her room to continue thinking about the next comic.
Since Gu Tianhai came, her comics seemed to have really come back to life, and the editor-in-chief who had always ignored her also frequently contacted her. Gu Tianhai was like a turning point in her life, making everything better for her.
"What am I thinking about?" Yan Mo scratched his hair, clearing his mind of all the messy thoughts and continuing to create.
Her next comic book is also based on real life, so she is very good at drawing it. Yan Mo, who forgets to eat and sleep when she is serious about it, continued this state until the afternoon.
The long hours of work made her visually fatigued, and after struggling for a while, her eyes slowly closed. She fell asleep on her desk until the sound of the key opening the door and the woman's voice rang out.
"Amami, have any other girls come to your house besides me?"
Ye Zixin, who was following behind Gu Tianhai, was carrying a briefcase, and Gu Tianhai, who was walking in front, was also holding a folder. Because of work, they needed to check all the drawings and data before tomorrow morning.
"This is not my home either. I'm just a tenant here."
Gu Tianhai smiled awkwardly and closed the door after Ye Zixin walked in.
Yan Mo, who was awakened by the voice, shuddered. She quickly put on her plush slippers and prepared to walk out of the room to take a look.
When she opened the door, Gu Tianhai was just about to turn the key to his own door. Ye Zixin and Yan Mo turned around and looked at each other. The three of them paused for a few seconds.
"What are you doing?"
After a long time, Yan Mo finally asked. What she wanted to know more was how Ye Zixin came here.
"We need to check some documents. The company is closed after get off work, so we can only come to my house."
After Gu Tianhai explained everything clearly, he turned the doorknob. Ye Zixin glanced at Yan Mo, then went into Gu Tianhai's room and locked the door.
"How dare you lock it!"
Yan Mo became furious when she saw Ye Zixin's arrogant look. Although she didn't say this out loud, the way Yan Mo waved her fists and feet at the door was enough to prove her dissatisfaction.
The sound of folders being opened could be heard in the room. Gu Tianhai and Ye Zixin were discussing work matters. Drawings and checklists for different projects were unfolded, and they took photos with their phones while reviewing them.
The sound of taking pictures came from inside the door. Yan Mo, full of curiosity, put his ear to the door, wanting to know the conversation inside.
"This is the design drawing of Company A in the West District. It seems to be fine. Put it in that folder."
"It is said that the company is more concerned about the customers in the West District this time, and these documents need to be kept properly."
"Tianhai, take a picture of this as well. It looks like a new project."
"okay."
The sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper and the sound of the phone filming were extremely clear. Yan Mo, who was standing outside the door, pressed herself against the door with all her strength in order to hear their conversation.
"Are you thirsty? I'll get you a glass of water."
Gu Tianhai suddenly remembered the etiquette of entertaining guests and quickly stood up and wanted to go to the hall to pour a cup of hot water for Ye Zixin.
As soon as the door of the room opened a crack, Yan Mo, who was clinging to the door like an octopus, suddenly lost her support and fell straight into Gu Tianhai's arms. When Ye Zixin turned around, Yan Mo had already fallen to the floor at the door with Gu Tianhai on top of her.
Ye Zixin was startled for a moment and looked towards the door with a frown. Yan Mo looked at Gu Tianhai awkwardly after he was knocked down by her.
"When are you going to get up from me?"
Gu Tianhai made a gesture of surrender with his hands and lay down on the floor at the door of his room. He looked at Yan Mo who was smiling awkwardly and felt a headache.
"Yan Mo, I wonder where your bathroom is? I suddenly need to go to the bathroom."
Ye Zixin maintained a ladylike smile, stood up, walked to Yan Mo, and extended her hand to help her up in a friendly manner.
"I'll take you there!"
Yan Mo naively thought that Ye Zixin was helping her to relieve the embarrassment, and hurriedly walked in front to lead the way. Ye Zixin smiled and followed Yan Mo out of Gu Tianhai's room.
When she reached the toilet, Yan Mo breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her head slightly, ready to thank Ye Zixin.
"Pa——" The sound of the slap suddenly woke Yan Mo up. She turned around in shock and looked at Ye Zixin: "What are you doing?"
The expression on Ye Zixin's face was one of disdain and contempt, as if the slap was justified.
"Yan Mo, if you know what's best for you, you'd better stay away from my Gu Tianhai. Only a girl as outstanding as me is worthy of him. You are just the older sister he met during his rebellious period. I think you are clinging to him because you are attracted to his family's wealth, right?"
"I don't know what you are talking about." His face was burning, and this heat turned into a fire, burning in Yan Mo's heart.
She didn't know what Ye Zixin meant by this, what rebellious period, what property. In her heart, Gu Tianhai was just her junior brother and her tenant. From beginning to end, she had never had any bad thoughts about him. Why did Ye Zixin say such a thing?
"Do you think you are innocent and cute just because you pretend to be stupid? Ha, that's right. Your boyfriend ran away with someone else, so you keep pestering someone else's boyfriend. You really look like a bitch." Ye Zixin put her hands down, snorted disdainfully, mocking Yan Mo's sad story.
"Have you said enough?"
"What? You get angry after just a few words? If you can afford to play, you have to be able to lose. For someone like you who can neither play nor lose, it's better not to come out and scare people, right?" Ye Zixin put her face close to Yan Mo's ear and said something that was both ruthless and unpleasant.
Yan Mo clenched her fists, trying to suppress the tears in her eyes. Yan Mo raised her hand, but did not hit Ye Zixin in the face. She could not let herself become like Ye Zixin.
"Ah!" Ye Zixin suddenly slapped herself quickly, and then sprained her arm and fell in front of Yan Mo.
Before Yan Mo could react, she saw Gu Tianhai hurriedly running towards her as she raised her hand to slap her.
"Ye Zixin, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Tianhai hurriedly helped Ye Zixin up from the ground. Ye Zixin burst into tears in front of Gu Tianhai like a best actress. She pointed at Yan Mo, who had no expression on her face, and sobbed.
"Tianhai, I don't know what I did wrong. Yan Mo hit me and pushed me..." Ye Zixin took the opportunity to throw herself into Gu Tianhai's arms and cried, giving Yan Mo a weird and complacent smile.
"Yan Mo, do you think that if you break up, the whole world will cry with you?"
When Gu Tianhai said this, Yan Mo was looking at him in astonishment. When he realized that his words had hurt Yan Mo, Yan Mo had already turned around and walked back to her room.
"Yan Mo, I didn't mean to..."
Gu Tianhai wanted to chase after her to apologize, but Ye Zixin hurriedly grabbed Gu Tianhai's hand.
"Tianhai, my feet hurt so much, I can't walk, can you take me home?"
After all this trouble, when he came to his senses, Yan Mo had already closed the door.
Helpless, Gu Tianhai had to say: "Let me take you home." Then he took the key, helped Ye Zixin out of the villa, and sent her home.
When Gu Tianhai came back alone on the subway, the city was already covered by darkness. Most of the street lamps in the suburbs had been burned out, so when he looked up, he could see the stars clearly through the darkness.
Gu Tianhai raised his head and looked at the ancient villa. The lights in the hall were still on. He couldn't help but wonder what Yan Mo was doing now. Was he still angry?
In order to apologize, Gu Tianhai went to the convenience store downstairs and bought a large bag of snacks. When he opened the door of the villa, Yan Mo's style was completely different from when he left.
Yan Mo, who was sitting on the sofa, was watching Stephen Chow's comedy with a pillow in her arms, laughing until tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't look like the tragic woman who turned around and went back to her room. This 180-degree change made Gu Tianhai unable to wrap his head around it for a while.
"I'm home?"
"Do you want some potato chips? I bought a lot..." Before Gu Tianhai could finish his words, the shopping bag in his hand was snatched away by Yan Mo.
Yan Mo collapsed on the sofa again, tearing the packaging while watching the comedy intently. Such abnormal behavior made Gu Tianhai a little difficult to understand.
Because the stimulation is too great, so selective escape?
Based on Gu Tianhai's understanding of Yan Mo, it is very likely that she is experiencing a last burst of vitality.
In order to confirm his guess, Gu Tianhai sat next to Yan Mo as if nothing had happened and watched the comedy with her.
Time passed by minute by minute. Yan Mo was amused by the humorous characters on TV. She ate potato chips and watched TV, laughing heartily, while Gu Tianhai sat in his seat awkwardly, secretly glancing at her from the corner of his eyes from time to time, paying attention to her emotional changes.
When the comedy's ending song ended, Yan Mo took a deep breath and regained his serious look.
Yan Mo turned off the TV and turned on the laptop on the coffee table. The laptop showed surveillance footage of every corner of Yan Mo's home. Gu Tianhai approached with some curiosity, watching Yan Mo skillfully switch the video footage and time progress.
"When I was in high school, I lived in a dormitory. My parents were not often at home, so there was always no one at home. So they installed surveillance cameras at home to prevent thieves from breaking into the house."
Yan Mo pulled out the surveillance video of her and Ye Zixin outside the toilet door and played it for Gu Tianhai.
Gu Tianhai was dumbfounded when he saw Ye Zixin in the video. He had never thought that Ye Zixin, who looked so elegant, would do such a thing.
In the final analysis, this matter was caused by him. He clearly knew that Yan Mo would not hit Ye Zixin, but he still said excessive words. The moment he finished watching the surveillance video, Gu Tianhai was filled with guilt and self-blame.
"Yan Mo, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that."
"Are you begging me to forgive you?"
Yan Mo closed the laptop, and her calm tone didn't sound like she was angry at all. Instead, it sounded like she was plotting something.
“You can understand it this way.”
Gu Tianhai looked at Yan Mo's face which was getting closer to him, feeling a little overwhelmed, so he had to shift his gaze in panic.
After receiving a satisfactory reply, Yan Mo showed a puzzled smile. She sat back on the sofa, leaned against the back of the chair, and slowly stated the conditions for her to forgive him...
Three days later.
"Ah--" A sharp cry passed through the fast-flowing air, and the strong wind changed people's hairstyles at high speed.
The roller coaster passed through the tunnel, and after seeing the light again, it dived down from the highest point to the lowest point. The people sitting on the roller coaster had different expressions, some tightly grasped the safety valve and screamed in fear, some held the camera and looked excited, and some did not dare to open their eyes during the whole process.
Gu Tianhai, who is afraid of heights, is the first type of person, while Yan Mo is the second type.
It only took two minutes for the roller coaster to start and stop, but these two minutes felt like two centuries to Gu Tianhai.
When the roller coaster stopped, Gu Tianhai's stomach began to churn. He quickly opened the safety valve and rushed to the trash can nearby, where he stood and vomited.
If it wasn't for the purpose of apologizing, Gu Tianhai, who was afraid of heights, would not have agreed to invite Yan Mo to the amusement park during the break.
"Xiao Hai, there seems to be not many people over there at the bungee jumping machine, let's go!" Yan Mo's target shifted to the bungee jumping machine not far away.
The 100-meter-high bungee jumping machine stood among many buildings, looking particularly tall. When it reached the highest point, it fell down with a whoosh.
The weightless people screamed hysterically. Gu Tianhai tightly grasped the railing beside the trash can and refused to move. Yan Mo pulled his arm and forcibly separated him from the railing and embarked on the journey of the bungee jumping machine.
"Yan Mo, I don't want to go out with you anymore! Ah——" Before Gu Tianhai could finish his words, the jumping machine that had risen to a high altitude fell down at an extremely fast speed. Screams lingered in the air, and the echoes continued.
Yan Mo, who was enjoying it, kept shaking Gu Tianhai, who had his eyes closed and tense, as the bungee jumping machine slowly rose. She said excitedly, "Xiao Hai, don't close your eyes. Open your eyes and look. The mountains, rivers, and sky over there are so beautiful."
"I don't believe it !" Gu Tianhai pressed the back of his head against the chair, not daring to open his eyes.
"Xiao Hai, the bungee jumping machine has stopped. Open your eyes and come down." Yan Mo said when the bungee jumping machine reached the highest point and paused.
Gu Tianhai slowly opened his eyes when he heard that, but just when he was about to relax, the bungee jumping machine fell down. Gu Tianhai, who was caught off guard, felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
"Ah - Yan Mo, I hate you so much!" Gu Tianhai screamed in a panic, and Yan Mo found it very interesting to see such a "fragile" Gu Tianhai, and couldn't help laughing.
After several rounds, the bungee jumping machine finally stopped, and Gu Tianhai, who was still holding the safety valve tightly, still had his eyes closed. But this time, the staff came over and opened the safety valve.
Feeling the changes in his surroundings, Gu Tianhai opened his eyes tentatively. After making sure that he had returned to the ground, he hurriedly ran out of the range of the bungee jumping machine.
His stomach was churning again, and before Gu Tianhai could catch his breath, he ran to a nearby tree and vomited. This time, Gu Tianhai, who had not eaten anything in the first place, was about to vomit bile, while Yan Mo was still interested in riding the roller coaster again.
"Yan Mo, go ahead. I'll watch you play outside."
"But it's lonely to ride a roller coaster alone, let's go together."
"My stomach is about to burst. I'd rather die than play this game anymore." Gu Tianhai's legs were weak and he hugged the tree next to him tightly.
Feeling bored, Yan Mo pouted and looked at the roller coaster traveling through the clouds. Then he looked at Gu Tianhai, whose face was pale, and decided to give up.
"Then let's go to the haunted house." Yan Mo suggested again, and without waiting for Gu Tianhai to say anything, she pulled him towards the destination.
Yan Mo is a girl who has no bottom line when it comes to playing. She is not afraid of cockroaches or mice, people or ghosts. In Gu Tianhai's impression, the only thing Yan Mo is afraid of is probably the past related to Li Hao.
He could sense her innocence, so he didn't know what his position was in her heart? Was he a junior fellow student who shared the apartment with her? Or a male best friend? Or something else...
In the darkness, Gu Tianhai held Yan Mo's hand tightly - at this moment, her hand was warmer than his, while his hand was cold because of the many shocks. He felt the warmth coming from those hands, and remembered his mother holding his hand to play on the carousel when he was a child, so he held Yan Mo's hand more tightly, for fear of losing her in the dark.
Because that 's ...
When walking out of the haunted house, Yan Mo finally had a look of fear. But this expression was soon replaced by excitement. After experiencing the world of demons and ghosts, Yan Mo recalled the fear and excitement just now, turned his head and looked at Gu Tianhai, wanting to share his feelings with him. But Gu Tianhai remained silent, and his expression was a little gloomy. When Yan Mo looked at him, he responded with a gentle smile. This smile was a little sad, so Yan Mo gradually put away his excitement.
"Xiao Hai, do you feel reluctant to come out and play with me?" Yan Mo lowered his eyes and looked at the melting snow on the ground.
People were coming and going in the amusement park, but they seemed to be still in time. Yan Mo thought, maybe she was also a very willful person? She knew that Gu Tianhai didn't like the amusement park, but she still wanted him to accompany her to go crazy.
"I'm very happy to be with you." Gu Tianhai raised his hand and placed it on top of Yan Mo's head. When Yan Mo raised her eyes, she inadvertently saw the collar of his sweater sticking out from under his coat.
That was the sweater she wanted to throw away, but it turned out he had been wearing it all along?
"But you don't look happy..." Yan Mo said unconfidently, feeling a little concerned about Gu Tianhai's expression. Gu Tianhai smiled lightly, rubbed her hair, and said, "I just thought of my mother..."
"Buy one, get one free, come on, come on!" A small vendor selling milk tea not far away was shouting. A buy one, get one free sign was hung in front of the milk tea cart, and many people were attracted by the shouting.
Yan Mo was also attracted. Before Gu Tianhai could finish his words, she pulled him to the front of the milk tea cart.
“Is it really buy one get one free?”
"Buy a cup of milk tea and get a bucket of popcorn chicken for free, want it?"
"I thought it was buy one get one free for milk tea."
Yan Mo pouted in disappointment, and when she was about to leave, the driver of the milk tea cart set his sights on Gu Tianhai who was behind her.
"Handsome boy, would you like to buy two drinks and go see the Ferris wheel with your girlfriend? The Ferris wheel in this amusement park was just completed last week. You can see the whole amusement park from it. It's very suitable for couples." The uncle's words stunned Yan Mo. She was about to shake her head to explain, but Gu Tianhai had already taken out his wallet to pay.
The uncle mistakenly thought they were a couple and gave them an extra lollipop: "This is a treat only for couples."
Yan Mo looked at the colorful lollipop and hurriedly took it, not denying at all that they were not a couple.
The night lights of the amusement park suddenly lit up, and Yan Mo, who was eating a lollipop, looked up and realized that night had fallen. When she and Gu Tianhai came here, the sky was still clear, but in a blink of an eye, lights of different colors lit up from all over the amusement park.
I heard people say that you can see particularly beautiful scenery when riding the Ferris wheel at night.
"Tianhai, let's go ride the Ferris wheel?" Yan Mo paused for a moment.
This time she didn't call Xiaohai, but Tianhai.
Gu Tianhai, who was a little uncomfortable, paused and nodded.
The two took out the amusement park map they received at the beginning and searched for the route to the Ferris wheel on it. The Ferris wheel was at the highest point of the amusement park, which was a hillside and required them to bypass the water world and the dangerous jungle.
Gu Tianhai, who had a good sense of direction, looked up. The lights on the Ferris wheel were gentle and charming at night. However, due to the obstruction of trees and buildings, he could only see the top of the Ferris wheel.
"I see the Ferris wheel, follow me." Gu Tianhai took Yan Mo's hand and walked towards that direction.
The scenery along the road softened in the lights, and the carousel in the amusement park was lit up with colorful lights and spinning in the singing. There was an endless stream of people playing the roller coaster and the bungee jumping machine at night. The excitement and spectacular queues that could not be seen during the day were fully displayed at night. Yan Mo, who was following behind Gu Tianhai, looked at his back and felt a warm current flowing through her heart.
The slowly rotating Ferris wheel is more beautiful than you might imagine. Yellow colored lights are embedded in the central axis of the Ferris wheel, flashing as it rotates.
Yan Mo, who was standing under the Ferris wheel, raised his head and looked at the towering Ferris wheel.
It was also her first time to see a Ferris wheel, as this amusement park had never had one before. She had never been to an amusement park with Li Hao before, as Li Hao was always busy designing and worrying about the future. So their most formal date was just to watch a movie and have a Western meal.
Yan Mo remembered that they had agreed to ride the Ferris wheel together when the city built one, and count the stars. But when Yan Mo actually rode on the Ferris wheel, she found that she couldn't see the stars at night in the city. Because the light of the Ferris wheel was brighter than the stars, when she looked up, she could only see the deep darkness.
"Yan Mo, what are you thinking about?" Gu Tianhai, who was sitting next to Yan Mo, looked at her profile. Her thoughtful look concerned him a lot.
"I was wondering why you are so weak that you vomited after riding a roller coaster." Yan Mo said seriously, sighed, and continued to sip his milk tea.
"It's obviously you who are too tough! You rode the roller coaster five times right at the start!" Gu Tianhai couldn't help but lean close to Yan Mo's ear and roared. After he finished speaking, he held his forehead and sighed, trying to calm himself down.
Yan Mo was particularly excited today for some reason, and played the roller coaster and various exciting games at least three times. Gu Tianhai, whose little heart couldn't bear it, swore that he would never accompany Yan Mo to the amusement park again!
"By the way, what happened to your mother?" Yan Mo quickly changed the subject.
"My mother passed away when I was very young." Gu Tianhai looked at the steaming milk tea in his hand, his expression gradually dimmed, like the night.
"Ah? She should be very young, right? Is it cancer? Or an accident?" Yan Mo moved her butt towards Gu Tianhai, seeming to be very curious. Gu Tianhai's sadness was also erased by Yan Mo's series of question marks. He took a deep breath and said helplessly: "I didn't say my mother was dead."
Yan Mo was embarrassed for a moment, gently moved her butt away, and leaned her side against the window, remaining silent for a moment.
"When I was young, my father was very busy. He was busy with various businesses every day and rarely came home. Even when he was at home, we seldom saw each other. At that time, my sister was fostered in my uncle's house, and I lived with my mother. Maybe it was because she was too lonely? My mother finally chose to divorce and married another man." Gu Tianhai talked to himself, recalling the memories related to his mother.
Those past memories have become a little blurry, but he still remembers the gentle smile on his mother's face.
"The last time I saw my mother was when I was seven years old. At that time, my mother took me to the amusement park and she was standing outside the carousel. But when the carousel turned around and came back, she was gone. I searched for my mother in the amusement park for a long time but couldn't find her. At that time, I didn't know much and thought I had lost her."
"Knowing that the other person is still alive in some corner of this world is sometimes a kind of happiness." Yan Mo's words stirred ripples in Gu Tianhai's heart. He was stunned for a moment, looking at Yan Mo's smile as bright as a summer flower.
Yes, it is actually a happy thing to know that the other person is still living happily in some corner of the world. His mother probably thinks so too, right?
Gu Tianhai smiled in relief and continued to drink the hot milk tea. Yan Mo saw that the atmosphere was very strange, so she changed the subject again and criticized Gu Tianhai for his weak physique, which was worse than hers as a girl.
When Gu Tianhai saw Yan Mo raising her arms to show her muscles, he almost spit out his milk tea. Yan Mo, this homegirl, although unable to take care of herself, is very good at eating, drinking and having fun.
"You must lack exercise, your physical strength is so poor." Yan Mo relentlessly complained about Gu Tianhai's weakness and lack of physical strength.
This sentence made Gu Tianhai's heart burn with anger. When Yan Mo came to her senses, Gu Tianhai had already grabbed her wrist and moved in front of her.
Her wrists were restrained, and her body was unable to move because it was pressed against the window wall. She stared blankly at Gu Tianhai, who was less than two centimeters away from her. He was usually shy, but at this moment he looked like a bad boy. His breath fell on her cheek, as if he could kiss her lips at any time.
"Just saying that boys have poor physical strength is also risky, you know?" Gu Tianhai smiled evilly, and the Ferris wheel turned slowly. Time also flowed quietly.
Yan Mo had never stared at Gu Tianhai so closely before. She realized that the color of Gu Tianhai's pupils was like thick ink. Her appearance was reflected in his pupils, smudged into a picture.
Gu Tianhai has an enviable fair complexion, lovely peach blossom eyes with a tender look, his nose is not high but very straight, and his light-colored thin lips are as tempting as jelly.
Yan Mo's heart suddenly began to beat rapidly, and her mind went blank for a moment. The lips that were less than a few centimeters away from her slowly moved closer, but just as she closed her eyes unconsciously, the face that was close to her slowly moved away.
A slightly cool hand passed across Yan Mo's neck. When Yan Mo opened her eyes, Gu Tianhai was gently holding up the necklace around her neck and examining it. The pendant of the necklace was a silver heart-shaped one with the word "Hao" engraved inside. When Gu Tianhai first met Yan Mo, she seemed to be wearing this necklace. But at that time, he didn't notice that the pendant of the necklace had words engraved on it.
"Is this a gift from Li Hao?" Gu Tianhai looked at the pendant that made him feel uncomfortable, and Yan Mo hurriedly took back the pendant and held it against her heart.
A feeling of panic took over her whole body. She didn't know whether her instinctive reaction was the fear that Gu Tianhai would discover her secret, or whether she was still attached to Li Hao.
Under Gu Tianhai's gaze, Yan Mo lowered his head and nodded.
"It was a gift from me when we first started dating. I've been wearing it all the time, and it gradually became a habit." Yan Mo lowered her eyes and stared at the pendant on the necklace. "Actually, I should have thrown it away."
"Keep it." Gu Tianhai shifted his gaze and looked at the night view outside the window.
The amusement park under the lights looked like a huge castle. The lights were bright inside the castle. They seemed to be at the highest point of the castle, overlooking the intoxicating scenery.
Gu Tianhai continued, "Didn't Lenin say that forgetting the past is equal to betrayal? Sometimes, the things we remember most are the things we want to forget. Instead of deliberately forgetting, it is better to learn to accept the past."
“But sometimes when you remember too much, you become afraid to move forward.”
Yan Mo lowered her eyes and turned to look at the scenery outside the window. In addition to embarrassment, there was also silence flowing inside the Ferris wheel.
After a long time, Gu Tianhai broke the silence.
"Have you reconciled with Li Hao?"
Yan Mo was stunned and did not directly answer Gu Tianhai's question. She turned her head, tilted her head and smiled slyly, and asked: "Is that Ye Zixin your girlfriend? Are you dating?"
"It seems you misunderstood too." Gu Tianhai sighed helplessly. It turned out that Yan Mo had also misunderstood their relationship. "She was my childhood playmate and now she is my colleague, not my girlfriend."
"She seems to like you very much, but she is not your type? Or is it because of some other reason?" Yan Mo's gossipy soul inexplicably burned.
She suddenly wanted to know what kind of girl a handsome boy like Gu Tianhai, who was both capable of handling affairs of state and housework, would like?
"I have a girl I like." Gu Tianhai smiled lightly. He looked at Yan Mo with endless tenderness and affection in his eyes. "I like a fool, but that fool doesn't know that I like her."
"Then tell me, I'll help you pass it on. I'm the number one matchmaker, you must invite me to your wedding banquet in the future!" Yan Mo said excitedly. Although she looked very happy on the surface, she felt inexplicably depressed in her heart. She couldn't help but think to herself: So he already has someone he likes?
"Are you really going to be the matchmaker?" Gu Tianhai couldn't help but smile, but soon regained his calm expression. He turned around and stared at Yan Mo seriously, "Actually, there are some things I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing for you to tell you. Yan Mo, actually I..."
When the three words "I like you" came out , a helicopter flew over the head. The huge sound of the propeller covered Gu Tianhai's confession, but Yan Mo could understand the three inaudible words from his lips.
"Xiao Hai, look, that helicopter is flying so low, do you think it will crash suddenly?" Yan Mo quickly changed the subject, pretending that she couldn't hear Gu Tianhai's confession because of the loud noise of the propeller.
Gu Tianhai could see that Yan Mo was playing dumb, so in order to avoid further embarrassment, he did not bring up the topic again.
Yan Mo turned her face towards the glass window. The transparent window reflected the lights outside, and also vaguely reflected her slightly red cheeks. She looked at the profile of Gu Tianhai reflected in the glass. Gu Tianhai sat quietly in his original position, lowered his eyes slightly, and did not speak again.
When the helicopter disappeared in the distance, the Ferris wheel gradually stopped and returned to the starting point. Yan Mo, pretending not to hear anything, opened the door, stretched, and walked out of the Ferris wheel seat.
"Xiao Hai, let's go home."
"Yeah." Gu Tianhai didn't say anything else, but followed Yan Mo and headed home together...
