Xiong Zhi smiled softly and looked up as well.
She would never be tired as long as she was with him.
"Of course. I am not yet that tired. It's in my bucket list too."
The pair held hands and walked towards the slowly rotating Ferris Wheel.
After getting in, the two kept standing while they watched the city lights of ArtWorld at a slowly rising height.
The capsule was designed with floor-to-ceiling view, which could be adjusted with a sliding panel, and an option to regulate some of the outside breeze to flow in through the air holes at the top.
As they went higher, the wind outside became colder.
Summer was ending and autumn was about to come.
The cold breeze flowing in fluttered Xiong Zhi's hair.
She shivered lightly.
A pair of warm arms enclosed around her, providing her warmth, security, and comfort. Xiong Zhi leaned back on Linfeng's chest.
The fast and loud beating of his heart made Xiong Zhi feel firsthand that her Linfeng was alive and well, that he was right beside her.
It made her feel peaceful and satisfied.
The man's arms were wrapped around her waist, embracing her from behind to keep her from the chill.
He bowed his head on the space between her neck and shoulder, closed his eyes, and took a whiff of her scent. He contentedly stayed that way, staring outside at the neon city lights studding the horizon.
Linfeng's dark eyes reflected the city lights.
His eyes were gentle yet inside those black pools were suppressed emotions that only he knew he had to keep.
Xiong Zhi's scent was the fragrance he liked the most.
The soft and warm body in his arms brought a tingling sensation throughout his body, which was comfortable and for some reason, nostalgic.
Linfeng gently tightened his hold, sniffing her scent again.
"Zhi'er..."
"Hmm..." Xiong Zhi softly answered.
She was in the most comfortable place and it made her sleepy.
"Do you remember our first ride in a Ferris Wheel?" Linfeng's hot breath warmed Xiong Zhi's neck.
She tilted her head a bit and nodded. "Um… That's the first time you exposed your honest side."
Linfeng smiled at her answer.
He took another whiff of her neck. "Mhhm. Whenever I recall that memory, I always feel grateful," he whispered huskily, kissing a small patch of her neck.
Xiong Zhi shuddered. "If Young Miss did not bend my principles over and over again to climb the huge wall I always covered myself with, I wonder, would I be happy like I am now?"
Xiong Zhi finally turned around. "Linfeng..."
"If I chose to be stubborn and only pursued my dreams, hurting you in the process, what kind of person would I be now?"

Linfeng continued on solemnly. "Probably, I'd be a person who never sincerely smiled, who is banned from the Xiong family, never meeting you again. I might be successful in business, but lonely… You know, sometimes, I get a strange feeling as if I am in a dream. A few times, I worry that when I wake up, everything would be different…"
Linfeng admitted, feeling scared at the thought.
If his Young Miss did not pursue him, would they live happily in each other's arms like this? Xiong Zhi's jade-like fingers smoothed out his furrowed brows.
She kissed his eyes, feeling the flutter of his lashes on her lips. "It doesn't matter, because I won't stop until you love me back, no matter how many years it takes me."
Linfeng looked at her.
His eyes were a bit misty and reflected the lights outside, as if there was a sea of stars within his eyes.
He always told himself of how lucky he was to be loved by her.
After a while, he leaned with his head down, hugged her, and buried his head on her chest. If this continued on, he might really cry.
He was moved to the point that his eyes warmed.
Thank you, thank you for staying with me.
Thank you for not giving up on me.
"I love you, Zhi'er. I love you," he whispered.
He felt a touch on his head, caressing his hair as if she was petting him.
Hearing her pleased humming reply, he repeatedly whispered the same words as if in obsessed chanting.
Xiong Zhi looked at the tall man who turned into a lovable little puppy in her arms with soft eyes.
"Why are you telling it to my chest?"
Linfeng suddenly paused.
His neck turned red and he finally lifted his head away from her chest.
His blushing face appeared in Xiong Zhi's line of sight.
He seemed shy and looked outside to avoid her teasing eyes. "…Cough, sorry. I didn't mean that."
Xiong Zhi's lips pursed into a small smile.
Her boyfriend was really adorable, ah!
She suddenly wanted to tease him more.
She cupped his chin and made him look at her.
"You should tell it to the person's face, whenever you confess your feelings."
Linfeng's cheeks and ears felt hot, feeling helpless and doting at the same time.
Really, who was the man here, ah.
But he still looked into her eyes.
The girl, no, she had already bloomed beautifully into an exquisite woman.
Her small face, charming phoenix eyes, delicate nose, luscious lips, and small chin…
The city lights twinkling behind her made her look like a celestial being who was brought into the mundane world. T
he air seemed to still for a moment as they gazed at each other.
Linfeng's heart began thumping loudly.
Her beautiful eyes clearly showed her affection for him.
Linfeng knew, he was not the only one feeling this electrifying moment.
His dark long eyelashes fluttered. His obsidian eyes only reflected Xiong Zhi's figure. His thin red lips seriously uttered the words filled gentleness…
"I love you, Zhi'er."
There was no way of knowing who closed the distance first.
The two lovers expressed their devoted love through a long, passionate, and gentle kiss.
