The final attraction was the Ferris wheel, which could accommodate two or three people in one cabin.
As Louis held Cicc and entered the cabin with Anna, Cicc had already fallen asleep in Louis's arms.
After playing for a whole afternoon, when they saw the castle, the little one's spirit finally exhausted. At this moment, she was having sweet dreams with a light smile on her face.
If it weren't for a fireworks show scheduled next, Louis and Anna would have taken the little one home already.
The Ferris wheel ascended slowly, and the colorful buildings on the ground gradually shrank. What Louis didn't know was that it was Anna's first time at an amusement park, let alone her first time on a Ferris wheel.
Her curious almond-shaped eyes glanced outside the cabin, shining with excitement.
While looking out the window, Anna caught Louis looking at her.
Perhaps sensing Louis's gaze, her earlobes slowly turned red, and she gave Louis a shy look.
It was the first time Louis had seen such a look, and he felt a bit overwhelmed.
The lights on the Ferris wheel illuminated her slender face, and Louis suddenly felt dazzled!
As the Ferris wheel continued to ascend, Louis held Cicc a little tighter and looked outside. His eyes seemed to hold some unknown meaning.
Below, many people held glow sticks, and some waved dazzling fireworks. They all looked up at the sky.
The next moment.
Almost all over the castle, fireworks were set off almost simultaneously, and the sky instantly bloomed with colorful fireworks.
At that moment, Louis clearly saw a charming smile on Anna's face, a smile from the heart.
Louis was a little stunned.
At this moment, as the Ferris wheel slowly rose to the highest point, the fireworks became clearer, and Anna's delicate face became even more charming.
"You don't have to be afraid like before."
Amidst the fireworks, Louis's voice was soft, but Anna couldn't hear him clearly.
She turned her face to look at him, puzzled.
"Hmm?"
Louis didn't look at her but continued to watch the splendid fireworks in the sky.
"You're too gentle, it's not good to be bullied like this."
"You don't have to be afraid like before. I know you want to sing, and I know you have many things you want to do. Don't worry, Cicc is in good hands with me."
Anna didn't respond, and when Louis turned his face, he saw tears shimmering on her face.
She pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on him, filled with intense grievances and complexities, as if trying to engulf Louis.
Louis suddenly became nervous. He didn't understand why she suddenly burst into tears?
"Who are you?"
Anna had been staring at Louis tightly, and her almond eyes were already misty. Her voice was crisp, but it sounded loud in Louis's heart.
Louis fell silent.
The air gradually became silent, as if even the sound of fireworks had disappeared. After a long while, Louis smiled gently at her.
Then he spoke, his voice suddenly hoarse.
"I'm Louis."
Anna continued to look at Louis. His smile made her feel her heartbeat suddenly became chaotic, like a fawn running amok.
His answer was unexpected to her. She sniffed, looked at Louis's clear eyes, and suddenly, tears fell even faster.
She hugged her legs, buried her head, sobbed softly, and then spoke.
"Yes, you're Louis. Who else could you be?"
"Let me tell you a story, a very cliché story. There was a little girl in an orphanage before. She was very timid, but there was always a boy one year older than her in the orphanage who protected her. One day, she was bullied by a group of older boys, and that boy stood in front of her, never letting her get hurt."
"In her eyes, that boy one year older than her was her everything. But after that incident, the boy disappeared, until later, when she grew up, she met that boy again and married him as she wished."
"It's a very cliché story," Louis felt somewhat dumbfounded after hearing it, but now he finally understood some things.
Anna lifted her head, tears welled in her eyes, and she looked so lonely and pitiful.
She finally confessed her innermost secret. No one understood her stubbornness, everyone thought she was worthless, but she firmly believed she was worthy. But the result was so terrible, she had regretted countless times until Louis appeared.
She asked him who he was, and he said he was Louis. That was enough!
Louis lowered his head and ruffled Cicc's hair. The little one squirmed restlessly into his embrace. When Louis looked up at Anna again, his eyes were full of tenderness.
Suddenly, he could understand Anna's feelings.
Seeing the gentleness and care in Louis's eyes, Anna couldn't hold back anymore. She threw herself into Louis's arms, vying with Cicc for a spot in his embrace, and sobbed softly.
Cicc was awakened by the commotion, blinking in confusion as he saw his mother occupying his spot.
He just hesitated for a moment before happily wrapping his arms around his father and mother, planting a kiss on each of their cheeks.
Today was Cicc's happiest day!
Louis looked at the two beauties in his arms and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. At this moment, he felt like the biggest winner in life, with a silly expression on his face.
He gently patted Anna's back and kissed Cicc's little face again, looking at the brilliant fireworks outside, feeling exceptionally relaxed.
The trajectory of life was heading in a better direction, and that was enough.
However, some plans needed to be changed.
As the fireworks gradually ended, the Ferris wheel slowly descended to the ground.
Anna carried Cicc, walking ahead. Cicc fell asleep again; children only had so much energy, and today had exhausted it all.
Louis followed behind, watching Anna's brisk steps. He touched his nose. After getting off the Ferris wheel, Anna left his embrace and instantly returned to her previous indifferent attitude towards him.
Was the woman who just cried in his arms a ghost???
Anna felt very nervous, even her hands holding Cicc were tight. She felt her earlobes and cheeks heating up.
She actually stayed in Louis's arms for so long just now! And acted like a little girl cuddling up to him! It's so embarrassing!
Louis must be secretly laughing at her in his heart! When they just got off the Ferris wheel, she saw it! She saw the smile hidden on that man's face!
Thinking of this, Anna couldn't help but quicken her pace as if she were in a racewalk.
Louis didn't know why this woman suddenly had so much energy. He had to jog to keep up with her pace.
Until they reached the exit of the amusement park and Anna showed no sign of stopping, Louis had to speak up and stop her.
"Hey! Are you planning to walk all the way home? Let's just hail a cab here!"
Anna finally stopped in her tracks, standing on the roadside without looking at him.
She felt even more certain that the man must be laughing at her behind her back!
Damn it! It's even more embarrassing!
