"I haven't finished looking yet.""…"Sāng Yán stopped working entirely.
He looked up, leaning back slightly and looking down at her from a higher position.
Though he agreed, his words carried a warning: "Alright, take it."Shēng Yǐfán seemed to not notice and took the album as if he had really given permission."…"Sāng Yán stared intently as she retrieved the photo album, visibly agitated by her actions.After getting the album, Shēng Yǐfán moved to sit next to him.
Sāng Yán suddenly said, "Stay a bit further away."Shēng Yǐfán didn't move and continued flipping through the group photo.
She looked at Sāng Yán's face in the picture before turning back to him.
Seeing his stern expression, she asked: "Why are you so angry?"Sāng Yán glanced at her: "Reflect on it."Shēng Yǐfán thought for a moment and asked, "Are you feeling guilty?"Sāng Yán raised an eyebrow in confusion.Shēng Yǐfán continued to look down as she flipped through the pages.
"I just wanted to see what my rival looks like.""…" Sāng Yán's eyelashes moved slightly, and he furrowed his brow: "Say something more reasonable.""You heard me," Shēng Yǐfán thought back to Chéng Sīqiáo’s words.
She slowly repeated, "You were linked with Dàn Jiāshì—said to be the couple of South University's Computer Science Department.""…""Straight boy golden boy," Sāng Yán replied.-The conversation drifted to another topic.Sāng Yán's expression relaxed as he thought about it.
"Shēng Shuángjiàng, aren't you in news?"Shēng Yǐfán confirmed: "Yeah, but what’s the point?""Let's have something light.""Okay."They entered a casual restaurant on the second floor of the shopping center.After ordering, Shēng Yǐfán leaned sideways and checked her watch.
"The place must be in chaos back home;we should probably go early to clean up."Sāng Yán responded casually: "Not too bad, just your things are left behind.""Oh," Shēng Yǐfán felt relieved, "That doesn’t need much urgency then."After dinner, they didn't rush to return.
They wandered around the shopping center for a while, moving from floor to floor until they reached the top.Opening the glass door on the roof, there was an expansive open-air platform.Unlike the lower floors, it felt like another world.
Many more people were up here, all seemingly heading towards the Ferris wheel.The queue at the ticket counter was long and winding.
Shēng Yǐfán suggested: "Should we also go for a ride?"Sāng Yán agreed and they joined the line.
Despite the length of the queue, the staff worked quickly, and soon it was their turn to buy tickets.
After queuing up, Shēng Yǐfán took Sāng Yán's hand as they walked to the ticket inspection booth.They entered a small cabin together.Shēng Yǐfán suddenly asked: "Do you have a fear of heights?"Sāng Yán replied with a smile: "The word 'height' is not in my vocabulary."Shēng Yǐfán recalled, "What about ghosts?You were afraid of those."Hearing this, Sāng Yán seemed to think of something and chuckled.
Then he leaned back on his seat and said slowly, "Yes, I meant there's no 'height' word.""…"The Ferris wheel started moving slowly with light music playing in the small space.
