Exiled from the underworld, I am still fearless

Coming out of the dark haunted house, the afternoon sun is still bright.

While walking out from the exit, Gloria smiled mischievously.

"Ahaha, I almost hit a ghost with this thing just now, hehe, it's not easy for the staff in the haunted house."

Zhang Shan turned his face sideways.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"ghost."

"Of course I was scared. It was pitch black inside, and I was taken aback by jumping out suddenly."

"Then why don't you hide?"

Gloria tilted her head and thought about it.

"I'm afraid, but I don't intend to hide."

"why?"

"Well, I think that since there are horrible things, someone must face them."

Seeing Zhang Shan's pensive look, Gloria touched him lightly with her arm and laughed.

"Why do you show such an expression? Why, am I disappointed that I wasn't scared into hiding in your arms?"

"I"

"Hehehe, it's okay to be disappointed. I'm the head of the Kendo Department. Even if it's a terrifying demon, the sword in my hand can definitely kill it!"

While speaking, Gloria raised the balloon stick in her hand very obediently.

Happy times always pass quickly.

Throughout the day, they tasted all kinds of delicacies in the playground and experienced almost all the rides.

Until dusk fell, the sky gradually reflected the fiery red sunset glow.

Bathed in golden brilliance, the shadows of the tourists are elongated. This scene sets off a different kind of fantasy atmosphere.

Walking side by side with Zhang Shan in the swimming pool, Ge Leiya stretched comfortably.

"Ah~ I really had a lot of fun today. As expected, I have to leave the academy and come outside this weekend. Zhang Shan, how about we go to the aquarium next time?"

"can."

"Yeah! I like seeing cute penguins the most, oh, and seals are also so cute~"

Hearing that Gloria was already planning her next visit, Zhang Shan turned her face away.

"Are you going back today?"

Gloria looked around.

"Well, it feels almost the same. We seem to have returned to the fare and played everything that should be played."

"There's one more."

"what?"

Zhang Shan raised his head expressionlessly, and cast his gaze to a high place.

"that."

What he looked at was the huge ferris wheel located at the innermost part of the playground.

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun had begun to dim, and with his voice, the Ferris wheel lit up the neon lights that only appear at night.

Gloria murmured when she saw the slowly turning and shining lights.

“So beautiful~”

"Would you like to try it?"

"Uh-huh."

"But this thing seems to be turning very slowly, and it takes a long time to line up. It must be completely dark when we get down."

There was a soft touch in the palm of his hand, Gloria took his hand and smiled fearlessly.

"Some scenery can only be seen after dark. What are you afraid of? Let's go and ride the Ferris wheel!"

Gloria was right.

Some landscapes can only be seen in the dark, like a world divided into light and dark.

For example, if he hadn't left that "dark" world, he might never have discovered that sea of ​​flowers.
-
"Crack!"

The door of the Ferris wheel was closed, forming a closed space that slowly rose into the sky.

Unlike the exciting roller coaster, the extremely slow and steady speed of the Ferris wheel is even difficult to detect if you don't pay attention.

like time.

Looking back, you will find traces of the passage of time.

But if there are people walking side by side, every step can be the beginning or the end.

Just like them at the moment.

Sitting in the magic sky wheel, Gloria's excited mood all day also calmed down.

She closed her eyes lightly, as if she was carefully experiencing the feeling of being lifted into the air.

"It's so stable, I can't feel any movement when I close my eyes."

"kindness."

There was silence in the car.

But even if they don't talk, they don't feel the slightest embarrassment.

Zhang Shan sat across from her and cast his gaze out of the window.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the sunset has already completely submerged into the horizon, and the lights are on, and the whole playground is lit up with neon lights that belong to the night.

Gradually, as the Ferris wheel rises higher and higher, the outline of the whole city comes into view.

Hustle and bustle, thousands of lights.

In this unreal world, there is such a real scenery, with lights flickering in the distance, like a dream.

"Gloria."

"kindness."

"Do you like flowers?"

Gloria opened her eyes, followed his gaze and looked out the window.

"I like it. If I have my own house in the future, I will definitely plant many, many flowers in the yard."

"Is it."

"Well, what about you, do you like flowers?"

Zhang Shan's eyes were always looking out of the window, and his voice was faintly in a trance.

"I didn't like it before, but I like it later."

"why?"

"Because I met a girl who likes flowers, but unfortunately, at that time, I didn't think flowers had any special meaning, just like I thought she was like most human girls."

"And then what?"

"Later, we disappeared from each other's world. It wasn't until I couldn't even remember her appearance that I realized that I seemed to like flowers."

Hearing Zhang Shan take the initiative to talk about other girls, Ge Leiya didn't react like jealousy, and didn't ask any questions.

The Ferris wheel is rising higher and higher, and the city below is dotted with stars. At this moment, they seem to be walking on the Milky Way.

Looking at the dreamlike shadow, Gloria's voice was very soft.

"Zhang Shan, do you know that I had a dream."

"Dream?"

"Well, in my dream, I was in a sea of ​​flowers that couldn't be seen at a glance. The sun was warm and the wind was very comfortable. I carried a basket full of bread and a heavy sword."

The birth of miracles is not accidental, but dreams and reality are no longer distinguishable.

Zhang Shan did not interrupt Gloria's dream, but listened quietly.

"That dream was very real, so real that it was like a personal experience left in my mind. I could smell the fragrance of flowers, hear the singing of birds, and even clearly feel the weight of the sword. For a vague belief, I Standing in the sea of ​​flowers, I kept waving the sword, trying to get used to it."

"and then."

"I stood in that sea of ​​flowers and waved it for a long time, as if several years had passed. Gradually, I felt that the sword became lighter."

"You have become stronger, or in other words, you have grown."

"Oh, maybe."

With a self-deprecating chuckle, Gloria turned her head back.

She quietly looked at Zhang Shan sitting opposite.

"Although the dream was very long, I didn't feel lonely in the dream, because there was always someone by my side who was with me. We never talked, and even in my eyes, his face was blurred until the dream Before waking up, I finally couldn't help asking his name."

Even when he noticed Gloria's deep eyes looking at him, Zhang Shan didn't turn his head.

"That man, did you tell you his name?"

"Told but didn't seem to tell."

"why."

"Because when the dream wakes up, I forget."
-
Gloria's dream is over, and the Ferris wheel has risen to the highest point.

Seeing that Zhang Shan had been looking out the window without speaking, she let out a long sigh of relief and showed a relieved smile.

Then, the conversation changed.

"Zhang Shan, have you heard of the curse about the Ferris wheel?"

"curse?"

"Well, according to legend, couples who sit together on the Ferris wheel will eventually break up, but if you kiss your lover when the Ferris wheel reaches the highest point, the curse will be broken, happiness will last forever, and you will never be separated."

Hearing these words with obvious hints, Zhang Shan's heartstrings seemed to beat strongly.

His intuition told him that at this moment, Gloria had already summoned up some kind of courage.

Is it right here?now?
Turning his head back from the outside, he saw a blush appear on Gloria's cheeks.

He didn't know what he was expecting, or in other words, he couldn't tell whether he should be happy or afraid.

"What a wicked curse."

"Um"

"But luckily there is a way to break it."

"Um"

Looking at Gloria's face that had already overlapped with his memory, he had already lost the rationality he should have had.

Like stupid questions he asked without thinking.

"Gloria, if we are lovers, are you willing to break this curse with me at the highest point of the Ferris wheel?"
