Only behind me, Shen Yulin wore a hint of displeasure on his face, his brows slightly furrowed, revealing a trace of tension and unease. His gaze shifted toward Liao Jian, subtly hinting at a sense of vigilance and suspicion.
"Didn't you say you rejected him?" His tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction and disappointment, with emotions that were hard to conceal in his voice. His eyes darted back and forth between me and Liao Jian, seemingly searching for some answer.
I felt his unease and anxiety, a wave of guilt and discomfort rising within me. I tried to explain, "Zhang Yun agreed to him; I came with Zhang Yun."
Shen Yulin's expression softened slightly, but the disappointment and confusion in his eyes remained. He fell silent for a moment, then sighed deeply and turned to leave us. He walked briskly toward a nearby convenience store by the amusement park, bought some water, and then came back to my side, handing it to me first.
"This is for you; drink some water so you don't catch a cold." His tone carried a hint of concern, and his eyes revealed a touch of apology and sincerity. I took the water bottle, feeling his care, which eased my anxiety just a bit.
At that moment, Liao Jian suggested we buy ice cream. A group of us gathered in front of the shop while I was still choosing my favorite flavor. Liao Jian reached out and handed me a vanilla ice cream cone unexpectedly, smiling as he said, "This is your favorite; it's so hot today; let's cool down with some ice cream."
I accepted the ice cream with quiet gratitude but also sensed a subtle awkwardness. Just then, I noticed Shen Yulin's expression darkening slightly, as if he was displeased with Liao Jian's gesture.
Shen Yulin didn't speak but furrowed his brows slightly, his gaze revealing discontent.
"Xingxing, help me pick one," Shen Yulin provocatively looked at Liao Jian and said to me.
I felt awkward and at a loss for words, so I randomly picked a cone and handed it to him. Shen Yulin happily took the ice cream, looking at Liao Jian with the demeanor of a victor. Liao Jian ignored him and smiled at me, saying he would take me on the Ferris wheel after we finished eating.
"The Ferris wheel too! Xingxing, let's go," Zhang Yun pulled me quickly toward the Ferris wheel.
"Zhang Yun, what are you doing?" I looked at her in confusion.
"Of course, I'm letting you ride the Ferris wheel with Liao Jian! It will drive Shen Yulin crazy." I held my forehead in exasperation as I looked at her.
"Aren't you afraid he'll get angry and hit Cheng Haifeng?"
"Let him hit whoever; as long as I can see Shen Yulin angry, everything else doesn't matter."
As we approached the Ferris wheel area, I saw that the previous round had just finished spinning; it had stopped quietly waiting to witness the next wave of love. The line moved slowly forward until it was my turn. I stepped inside first; just as Shen Yulin was about to follow, Liao Jian stepped in ahead of him and closed the door behind him. I glanced at him but didn't dare look again; seeing this situation, Liao Jian sat down beside me. The seats in the Ferris wheel cabin were extremely narrow, causing us to sit very close together. I awkwardly shifted over slightly, caught off guard by his sudden proximity.
The Ferris wheel slowly ascended, but the atmosphere inside the cabin was unusually strange. I stared blankly out at the scenery when Liao Jian suddenly asked beside me, "Fanxing, are you together with Shen Yulin?" I turned to look at him, puzzled by why he would ask that.
"I'm sorry if my question seems too abrupt," Liao Jian said apologetically.
"It's fine; you're overthinking it. I'm just classmates with him because his brother is my uncle; that's why we're closer."
