love too early

amusement park?

Ferris wheel?

I remember the last time I rode a Ferris wheel was when I was a teenager, and Fu Zhiheng booked an entire amusement park for my birthday.As a prodigal, he has never disappointed anyone since he was born.

Now that more than ten years have passed, Fu Zhiheng has long since lost his youthful disposition, and it is even more impossible for me to go to the amusement park for no reason.Suddenly listening to Shen Nanyu's talk, and thinking of Fu Zhiheng, I felt like a world away. ——It turns out that Fu Zhiheng and I also had a close relationship when we were teenagers.

"What are you thinking?" Shen Nanyu asked.

"Huh?" I came back to my senses, smiled absently and said, "It's nothing, let's go."

There are very few children in the amusement park at night, and there are many couples in pairs.Shen Nanyu bought two ice creams, the vanilla one for me, and a strawberry one for himself.Although he looks much calmer than his peers, he is actually a student under 20 years old. When he sees a hawker selling balloons on the roadside, his eyes light up, and he turns his head and asks me expectantly if I want balloons.

Feeling helpless and funny about this, I nodded and said, "Yeah."

After buying balloons, I ran into a seller of plush ears. Shen Nanyu bought a pair of rabbit ears and a pair of cat ears, and asked me which one I wanted.

"..."

I actually don't want to choose any of them. Wearing this kind of thing in public is too difficult for me.

As if seeing my hesitation, Shen Nanyu's gaze gradually dimmed, and he withdrew his hand and whispered, "Sorry...it's the first time I've come to an amusement park with someone I like, and I can't help but want to buy everything I see, forget about it. Ask for your opinion."

He looked really disappointed, and I couldn't bear to spoil his interest, so I said, "No, I just don't know which one to choose. Help me choose."

"Really?" Shen Nanyu raised his head to look at me, his slightly frowning brows relaxed again, showing a shallow smile, he picked up the cat ears and asked, "Is this okay?"

"……Um."

He leaned over to me, carefully helped me put on the headband, and said with a smile, "It's cute."

After speaking, he put on the rabbit ear headband by himself, stroked his hair, and said to himself: "It seems a little strange..."

Now I know it's strange... Shen Nanyu was originally tall, and he could be seen at a glance in the crowd, but now with the raised rabbit ears, he was much taller than the people around him, like a moving road sign.

I couldn't help gloating, I took his hand and said seriously: "It's not surprising, this is very good."

Unexpectedly, he took my hand instead, squeezed it and said, "I'll tell you a secret."

I looked up, "What?"

"Actually..." Shen Nanyu leaned closer to my ear and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "This is my first time in an amusement park."

"the first time?"

"Well," he smiled softly, and said, "I didn't have a chance when I was young, but when I grow up, I'm not so playful anymore."

I suddenly remembered his life experience, and I didn't know how to comfort him for a while, but fortunately, Shen Nanyu didn't seem to need comfort, looked at me deeply with lowered eyes and said, "Thank you very much."

I was inexplicably hot by him, looked away and said, "It's okay."

The two of us walked around and played, unknowingly holding a lot of gadgets in our hands, and eating creamy donuts and cotton candy.When I finally arrived at the Ferris wheel, I thought of something while queuing and asked Shen Nanyu: "I remember you said that there is an event in the amusement park, what event?"

Shen Nanyu showed a helpless smile and said, "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, you must have forgotten."

Mid-Autumn Festival?I looked up at the night sky, and there was a full moon hanging high, exuding a cold and clear light.Looking back, Shen Nanyu's eyes seemed to be filled with the moon, looking at me tenderly.

"I forgot..." I said, "My parents are on a business trip abroad and no one reminded me."

"It's okay." Shen Nanyu pinched my cat ears, took my hand and said, "I'll watch the moon with you."

This wasn't the first time he took my hand, but it was the first time he took the initiative. I looked down at our handshake, and for some reason, I didn't resist.

The line for the Ferris wheel was not too long, and Shen Nanyu and I were soon lined up.I noticed that he glanced at the time from time to time, as if he cared about it and didn't want to be discovered by me, so I cooperated without asking more questions. I didn't know why he paid so much attention to the time until I got on the Ferris wheel——

As the Ferris wheel starts slowly, the Kongming lanterns in the distance rise together to the sky.At the beginning, there were only a few sporadic ones, and gradually more and more. When I noticed, the black night sky had turned into a flowing river of golden light. Those bright and dark candle lights slowly drifted with the night wind, like a running To my grand time.

I lay on the glass of the Ferris wheel and looked into the distance. At some point, I turned my head to look at Shen Nanyu behind me, and saw the unconcealed surprise on my face from the reflection of the glass.

"You knew there was going to be this?"

"En." Shen Nanyu looked at me with downcast eyes, with a smile on his lips, and said, "I hope you like it."

So he quietly planned all this, taking time to take me to the amusement park, and then quietly led me to the Ferris wheel, just so that I could see the rain of Kongming lanterns at the highest point.

"Thank you." I smiled, "I like it very much."

"Shi Lu." Shen Nanyu took my hand again, pulled me towards him, looked at me face to face and said, "Actually, I have other goals."

The distance was too close, I blinked unconsciously, "What?"

Some Kongming lanterns slowly floated near the Ferris wheel. I saw from the corner of my eye that different poems were written on each lantern.

——May I be like a star king like the moon, and the night and night flow bright and clean.

——At this time, we look at each other but don't hear each other, and I hope that the moonlight will shine on you.

——Thinking of you is like the full moon, and every night is less clear.

……

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but every sentence is a deep lovesickness.

And Shen Nanyu in front of me kept looking into my eyes and said, "I want to tell you that I like you."

"Say something you don't care about once, and I can say it many times, in all the places I can reach."

"Shilu, I like you."

The narrow Ferris wheel, the dim night, the flickering candlelight, and the high hanging full moon all make this phrase solemn and romantic.

Although Shen Nanyu had a serious expression, I could still feel his nervousness from his unconsciously tightened fingertips.

I suddenly lost my mind and remembered the love I had watched, most of which were superficial, mixed with too many complicated interests, like jewels inlaid with colored gemstones, gorgeous and exaggerated.

There are more, maybe even love is not called, just to satisfy each other's desires, so as to fill the long empty night.

Later, I couldn't tell whether I lost the instinct of love from the beginning, or whether I gradually lost the expectation of love in this kind of life day after day.

When I came back to my senses, the Ferris wheel rose to the highest point, and all the sounds in the world seemed to disappear. In the confined and narrow space, Shen Nanyu's breathing and body temperature occupied all my senses.

He lowered his head cautiously, his eyes enveloping me like sticky syrup.The tip of his nose touched mine, and I heard him whisper, "May I kiss you?"
