When Jiang Yu received Qiu Li’s call, she was playing with her parents in the amusement park.
Because what Jiang Yu longed for the most when she was a child when she watched other children was to go to the amusement park with her parents. But she could only secretly envy them.
This time Cheng Ye insisted that the mother and daughter go to the amusement park together in order to heal her childhood regrets.
Regardless of blood relationship, Cheng Ye already regarded Jiang Yu as his own daughter.
Jiang Yu asked Cheng Ye and Jiang Manyi to ride the Ferris wheel, deliberately leaving space for them to get along alone and cultivate their relationship.
The background sound of the amusement park was very loud, so Jiang Yu found a quieter corner, and answered Qiu Li’s call.
On the other end of the phone, Qiu Li sounded a bit strange, hoarse and weak.
Jiang Yu quickly asked: “Are you sick, or are you drinking?”
“No.” He coughed lightly: “I didn’t drink, I was eating cake, I choked… I choked.”
He sounded really choked, after coughing several times, his voice became hoarse.
“Idiot, how can you not choke if you eat like a wolf.”
Jiang Yu laughed at him and said, “Eat slowly, I’m not there, no one will grab food from you.”
“Well, where are you…”
“My parents and I are at the amusement park, and they went to ride the romantic Ferris wheel.”
“Are you happy?”
“Very happy.”
Jiang Yu lowered her head, the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably and her voice was all sweet: “I’m very happy to find my father in Haicheng this time. He is very kind to me and to my mother.”
“Then I can rest assured.”
Jiang Yu heard that his words were not quite right: “What does it mean to be relieved?”
“I like to see you happy.”
She frowned: “Qiu Li, are you okay?”
“I’m also very happy, I went to see my mother today.”
“Ah, such a big thing, you just told me now.”
Jiang Yu hurriedly asked: “How was it? Did she recognize you? Did she like you? Tell me quickly!”
“Yes, she liked me. She said she was proud of me and asked me to move in to live with her.”
“Ahh! That’s great!” Jiang Yu couldn’t help jumping up, and said excitedly: “It’s great, from now on our family’s Xiao Li will have a mother.”
“Well, I have a mother.” There was a deep bitterness in his voice: “Today is also very happy.”
“So you bought yourself a cake and ate it.” Jiang Yu pursed her lips and murmured, “Little greedy dog.”
Qiu Li wiped away the random tears on his face with his sleeve. And the corners of his mouth curled up: “I just miss you a little.”
“Then I’ll come to you.”
“No, I just want to say…”
No matter how he wiped it, the tears couldn’t stop falling, and his chest was already wet. The large, white shirt stuck to her skin.
He exhausted all his strength to suppress the trembling in his voice: “I just want to say…”
Covering the microphone, he bit the back of his clenched hand, biting hard, his body trembled slightly, as he tried to stabilize his emotions.
But he couldn’t do it.
He had never cried since he was five years old, but at this moment, it seemed that he wanted to vent all the sadness that had been suppressed for so many years…
“What do you want to say?” Jiang Yu asked him with a smile: “You want to confess to me.”
“I want to say…thank you.”
Thank you for saving me, thank you for holding me back…, thank you for letting me see the light of this world.
“No reason, why are you saying thank you!”
“I am so happy today, so I have feelings.”
“Okay, but as you said before, you can’t just say thank you, you have to take practical actions.”
“Huh? What practical action do you want?”
“Then I will make a request.”
Jiang Yu looked at a huge and colourful Ferris wheel in front of her and said, “I want my boyfriend to accompany me to take a ride on the Ferris wheel at midnight. I heard that at midnight, you can see the moment when the neon lights in the city die, and the Internet says that is the most beautiful moment in this life.”
“Okay, I promise you.”
“Mom and Dad are down, so I’ll hang up first.”
“Hmm.”
Jiang Yu hung up the phone, then took a selfie of herself and the Ferris wheel, and started to post the photos.
Qiu Li walked to the river alone and stood on the high embankment, the wind howling.
He should have left a long time ago, he had delayed for so long, living in the lies and rainbow bubbles he made for himself, and became a fool.
Ridiculous.
Just as he lifted his left foot, closed his eyes, and was about to jump off, the phone rang.
With trembling hands, he swiped open the screen…
Jiang Yu had sent a selfie.
In the photo, she was wearing a simple cartoon T-shirt, with long hair hanging down her shoulders, and the Ferris wheel behind her was brightly lit, making her cheeks look rosy, “Ah Li, I will always like you.”
This photo stripped him from his original senseless and fearless emotions. All of a sudden, he felt the threat of death, the fear of leaving her… forever, how far away would he go?
He staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground.
The crescent moon in the sky was the same as when he first saw her, like the corners of her smiling eyes.
She was the only moon he had ever seen in his life, how could he be willing to close his eyes from now on.
After the amusement park, when the family of three went to the shopping mall for dinner, Cheng Ye saw an escape room with a good reputation on the fifth floor, so he decided to take the mother and daughter to play.
Jiang Manyi knew that Cheng Ye was a very adventurous person. At the age of twenty, he even travelled through Tibet’s no-man’s land alone.
Over the years, as long as there was no schedule, he would go abroad for skydiving, bungee jumping, rock climbing, and other extreme sports, such that he was often on the hot search.
Jiang Manyi said that he thought his life was too long, so he burned it.
Cheng Ye just smiled.
