The merry-go-round was only three minutes long.

    When the piano song was playing, more than a minute had passed, so “Boat Tracker’s Love” had just over a minute left.

    But Su Lin felt that he’d never gone through such torment.

    After scolding Qin Fang, his phone vibrated like crazy in his pocket.
It was definitely the idiot replying.

    He ignored it.

    He leaned against the ship’s backrest, and straightened his legs, allowing his black sneakers to rest on the top of the plank.
With this kind of music as background music, he closed his eyes, recalling this past month of knowing her.

    A lot of clips were played in his mind like a montage.

    It seemed that from their first meeting….
he couldn’t exactly say what happened, but in short, it seemed that a lot of things happened that definitely didn’t give Lu Yuanyuan a good impression of him.

    Su Lin shook his head, and suddenly a sense of frustration arose.

    He didn’t want to go on like this, but….
He didn’t know how to make their relationship progress.

    Lu Yuanyuan was becoming more and more familiar and more and more lively in front of him.
He could feel that, most of the time, she was already very open in front of him.

    But, this could be how someone acted toward a friend.

    He seemed to have never been so set on something, so attached, so out of his control.
When he thought about it now, he felt like there’s a stone pressing on his chest.

    Finally, when the loud country song finished playing, and the boat below him stopped in mid-air for a moment, he even felt a sense of relief.

    Su Lin got off the boat in silence.
Lu Yuanyuan got off the horse in silence.
Until the two left the [Deceptive Merry-Go-Round] site, the two were still silent.

    Lu Yuanyuan followed him for a while, feeling that she should take the initiative to say something to break the silence.

    Before she could say anything, Su Lin stopped in his tracks.

    He hung his head, as if taking a deep breath, before raising his head and asking her, “Do you….
still want to play?”

    “……”

    Lu Yuanyuan simply couldn’t believe what she’d heard.

    Just now on that deceptive-to-death merry-go-round, when she rode on the back of the horse, she’d been secretly observing Su Lin’s expression.

    He took out his phone at that time, his hands texting so quickly she didn’t know what he sent.
After locking the phone, he began to frown and pinch the bridge of his nose.

   ….
Clearly his face was white with anger.

    She entirely felt that he would come out and get angry at her.
After all, she was the one who wanted to come and play on that merry-go-round.

    But he didn’t.

    Not only did he not, but he also controlled temper and asked her pleasantly if she wanted to go play something else….?

    Lu Yuanyuan looked at the time displayed on her phone’s lock screen, “Senior, are you hungry? How about we….
go and eat first?”

    His tense nerves loosened up and he nodded, “Okay.”

    There was a directory not far away.
Su Lin looked at it, and knew the general direction.

    Originally, when they were walking on the path, Lu Yuanyuan was racking her brain, wondering what would be a good topic to bring up.
But she saw Su Lin give the map just a single glance and could make the turns as if he’d walked this path countless times.

    Finally, something came to mind.

    Just praise this.

    “Senior!” She called him.

    Su Lin slightly inclined his head: “Hm?”

    Listening to this “hm”, this deep hum, Lu Yuanyuan ears felt a little tickly.

    She tilted her head and rubbed her ears a bit.
Moving slightly away from him, she spared no effort to praise him: “You’re amazing.”

    “……?”

    She pointed at herself and said, “I, for one, am directionally challenged.”

    “………?”

    “That is, senior, you know there is a joke that goes, for someone directionally challenged, everywhere is the same because all places are under the sky.”

    Su Lin hesitantly said, “…… And so?”

    “Just….” The idea had just flashed through Lu Yuanyuan’s mind, and she could only force herself to continue in this direction, “Just that, take me for example.
I usually go from the dorm to my major and public classes, but I always need my roommates to accompany me to them, so I don’t need to remember the way.”

    “……”

    “But for French class, I have to go by myself.
I have to go out half an hour earlier every time… Since I took pictures of all the buildings where I had to make turns, I had to look at those pictures just to find the teaching building… “

    Su Lin: “……”

    In fact, he didn’t quite understand how they suddenly jumped to this subject.
He didn’t know how he should reply to her right now.

    “Um… I actually wanted to say…” Lu Yuanyuan’s voice once again piped up but it was obviously much quieter.

    She lowered her head, looking a little chagrined, her voice getting weaker and softer: “I just wanted to say, senior, that as a person who knows directions and remembers the way, you’re too amazing…”

    Su Lin: “………”

    He understood now.

    So that’s what her unrelated comments were about?

    Su Lin held back a laugh, “You were talking for so long just to praise me.”

    “……” Lu Yuanyuan was feeling embarrassed, not expecting him to say it directly.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Su Lin looking like he was holding back a laugh and his shaking shoulders.

    Her face instantly burned up, “I wasn’t! When did I….
I didn’t just say that because I saw you were in a bad mood!”

    The afternoon sun was a bit sunny.
She needed to look up when she wanted to look at him.
She wanted to glare at him with a fierce look when she said this, but had to squint slightly because of the glare.

    The end of her sentence was drawn out, making her look like she was unconsciously pouting.

    Her entire person looked soft and harmless.

    “……”

    Su Lin was stunned for a moment.

    She said that because he was in a bad mood.

    The moment he heard those words, it seemed that those negative emotions that he had tried to but couldn’t suppress, suddenly dispersed.

    Last time, he was also in a bad mood because of some trivial things, and she also somehow noticed it.

    Then, the little girl in front of him bought him a cup of pearl milk tea with extra sugar in the middle of the night.

    So sweet that his throat was thirsty.

    This time, she deliberately brought up her own shortcomings, sparing no effort to praise him.

    This was actually a very silly and direct method.

    But inexplicably, it poked at his sore spot.

    After the bumper cars, haunted house, and merry-go-round, Lu Yuanyuan’s ponytail was already messed up and askew, and the hair tie tied onto her hair was loose.

    Su Lin stretched out his left hand, and amidst her astonished expression, circled around to the back of her head and set her ponytail straight.

    Lu Yuanyuan froze.

    Afterward, she felt a touch near her head.
She watched blankly as he stretched out his other hand.

    He was now in a position where both his arms were virtually encircled around her head.

    Both hands then came together and tightened her ponytail a bit.

    “Well, thanks to you.” After doing this series of actions, he withdrew his hand and answered her previous words.

    He gave another sudden smile, his eyes glittering and dazzling, the front pieces of hair on his forehead glowing golden in the sunlight.

    “I’m….
in a good mood now.” He said.

    “……”

    There it was again.

    That feeling of her heartbeat speeding up and her emotions running high.

    Lu Yuanyuan stopped looking at him, lowered her head, raised her hand and touched up her ponytail, unconsciously smoothing her hair, “Oh….
then that’s good.”

    “Let’s go, then.”

    “…… Mm.”
