Chapter 65: Twelve o'Clock Princess

Late at night in the amusement park, it was silent all around.

Tang Qiaoqiao pushed Shen Yue to the bottom of a skyscraper, which was dark.

She looked up and said, "Everything is dark. Why did we come here?"

Shen Yue choked speechlessly at Tang Qiaoqiao's lack of eyesight and clapped his hands.

In an instant, the Ferris Wheel lit up with brilliant colored lights, almost illuminating the sky.

Tang Qiaoqiao exclaimed, "Wow."

"These Ferris wheels’ lights are voice-activated?"

Shen Yue said in a huff, "I think your brain is voice-activated."

Behind him, Tang Qiaoqiao made a face. "You understand humor?"

"I'm always humorous." Shen Yue said.

Tang Qiaoqiao: ...

Forget it. This amusement park was his. The monitoring room also listened to him. If he wants to turn on the lights, he could turn on the lights. He was a big man, and his word was law.

When Tang Qiaoqiao sat in the Ferris Wheel's cabin, she realized that it was decorated. The sightseeing cabin was spherical, with a large interior and a full set of viewing equipment. However, a large table in the middle had a cake box on it.

"What is this cake for?" Tang Qiaoqiao wondered, with a light flash in her mind, "Is it your birthday today?"

Oops, she didn't prepare any present.

Shen Yue paused. "No."

"Oh, that's good." Tang Qiaoqiao sighed with relief.

Shen Yue was silent.

The woman didn't remember his birthday. However, he only said, "It's okay."

After the two of them sat down, the Ferris Wheel slowly turned.

Tang Qiaoqiao rode the Ferris wheel for the first time. This feeling was completely different from riding a roller coaster. There was no time to observe the surrounding scenery on the fast roller coaster, but the Ferris Wheel moved slowly. The outside scenery also moved bit by bit, giving her a panoramic view.

Although it was midnight, the entire playground was still brightly lit.

Tang Qiaoqiao leaned in front of the transparent glass, looking at the night view in the distance before she said with emotion, "It's so beautiful."

Shen Yue said softly, "You are the first guest on this Ferris wheel."

"I am the first?" Tang Qiaoqiao was very surprised.

Shen Yue's face reflected on the glass when he said, "This Ferris wheel shut down more than a year ago to increase the height by 80 meters. It is now the world's tallest Ferris wheel at 256 meters."

"At the highest point, you can have a view of the entire city of Beijing."

Needless to say, Tang Qiaoqiao had  gradually felt a strange feeling.

Shen Yue said, "The Ferris wheel will not be reopened until next week, so today, you are the first visitor to ride it since the renovation."

"Why me?"

Tang Qiaoqiao turned around to look at Shen Yue, and the flood of light shone from behind her. In his eyes, her face gleamed with light.

Shen Yue stared straight at Tang Qiaoqiao. "What do you mean?"

Tang Qiaoqiao suddenly felt hot. She turned her head and looked out the window. Her tone was a little flustered when she said, "It must be because I happened to be here to record the show today. You just pulled me as a guinea pig to try it."

"If there is any quality problem with the Ferris wheel, the first victim will be me. Huh. Evil capitalist."

Shen Yue's eyelids twitched. "Yes, I am an evil capitalist. I took you as an experiment, and I also put myself on this thing?"

Tang Qiaoqiao muttered, "Who knows what you are thinking." Ordinary people couldn’t figure out many perverted murderers' minds.

"It's twelve o'clock. Don't look down. Look outside." Shen Yue suddenly said.

Tang Qiaoqiao raised her eyes and saw that from the castle's direction, brilliant fireworks blooming with a "bang."

When the grand and gorgeous fireworks exploded in the dark silent sky, Tang Qiaoqiao was deeply shocked. The castle looked like a dreamy fairy tale world under the colorful fireworks.

Tang Qiaoqiao looked fascinated, and her heart throbbed wildly.

Fireworks were as beautiful as life. Although they were short, they were also extremely romantic.

It wasn't until all the fireworks were released that Tang Qiaoqiao took back her unfulfilled gaze.

"What day is it? There’s cake and fireworks? There are no tourists in this amusement park at the moment. Why were fireworks set off?"

Shen Yue's voice was lazy when he said, "Why do these things have to be done on special days?"

Tang Qiaoqiao sat back opposite Shen Yue. "Aren't you humans always like this? No matter what festivals or anniversaries, the sense of ritual is very important."

Shen Yue looked at her weirdly. "What "we humans"? Are you not humans?"

Tang Qiaoqiao's eyes flickered. "How can you mortals compare with me?"

Shen Yue always ignored the shameless words that Tang Qiaoqiao uttered from time to time and just pointed to the cake box. "Let's open it."

"That's right. It happens that I'm already hungry." Tang Qiaoqiao grieved, "I only ate half a hamburger during the whole recording of the show."

Shen Yue was too lazy to reveal that she had eaten a large bowl of beef noodles and more than a dozen fried dumplings at home before leaving for the shooting.

While talking, Tang Qiaoqiao removed the packaging bag and gently opened the box.

Inside was a two-tiered pink cake with a fondant doll on it, wearing a golden fishtail skirt, with big eyes and cherry mouth, delicate and cute.

Just looking at the doll, Tang Qiaoqiao felt that this little doll was a bit familiar. Wasn’t this the dress she wore last time?

She became really serious and said, "Why is this doll like a big star?"

Shen Yue pursed his lips, "The cake is made according to a standard model of the store. You are mistaken."

"Really? Since the doll is not important, then throw it away. We can't eat it anyway." Tang Qiaoqiao made a gesture to throw the doll away.

Shen Yue raised his eyebrows. "Don't you dare."

Tang Qiaoqiao smiled, "Ha, the truth came out after the first try. Is this doll me?"

Shen Yue's face was reddened, and he acquiesced.

Tang Qiaoqiao looked at him and asked seriously, "Why are you giving me this cake?"

Shen Yue was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "At 12 midnight, Cinderella's princess magic will disappear, and she will be restored to her original state. Today, you have been a knight for a whole day. Now it's midnight, so you can be the princess you want to be."

Shen Yue was very serious when he said this. Tang Qiaoqiao was dumbfounded after hearing it and said, "You took me to ride on the Ferris wheel, setting off fireworks, and let me eat a cake. All of these just to make up because I couldn’t be a princess today?"

Shen Yue felt ashamed when Tang Qiaoqiao said it out loud.

It was Li Ji's idea. He said that Tang Qiaoqiao would be particularly touched when she discovered it. How come he saw her expression, like, "Are you kidding me?"

He shouldn't listen to Li Ji's nonsense!

However, Tang Qiaoqiao was moved to a mess. However, she didn’t know what mood she should face Shen Yue with.

He gave the privilege to the program team to record this show in this theme park for her. He also did so much for the "cute and charming" character set she usually nagged about, even though it collapsed long ago.

Tang Qiaoqiao was a little puzzled, and at the same time, a little deer was jumping wildly in her heart, as if it knew something she didn’t and was faintly jumping for joy.

She didn't dare to delve into it, only staring at the little doll in a daze.

Shen Yue frowned when he saw that she didn't speak, "You don't like it?"

Tang Qiaoqiao hurriedly said, "I like it very much."

"Thank you." She added two words quietly.

Shen Yue breathed a sigh of relief when Tang Qiaoqiao's face was shy, which rarely happened. Li Ji didn’t have to feed lions for the time being.

Tang Qiaoqiao forced herself to stop thinking about it. She took a knife, cut a piece of cake, and handed it to Shen Yue while she cut a large piece for herself.

The cake is soft and sweet, and the creamy milk flavor is very rich. It melts in the mouth, soft and delicate. It is also mixed with various fruits such as carambola and strawberry. It was delicious.

The sweet cake instantly filled Tang Qiaoqiao's empty stomach and diverted her restless attention.

"It's delicious."

Tang Qiaoqiao had feasted, and in the end, she simply dug into the cake with a spoon and ate it without bothering to cut it.

Shen Yue looked at Tang Qiaoqiao's heroic way of eating and said helplessly, "Can you be more elegant?"

Tang Qiaoqiao: "Don't pay attention to these details."

The more she ate, the happier she became. She rushed to Shen Yue. "You should try it too. It's more enjoyable to eat like this."

Shen Yue hesitated. He had never tried eating without table manners since childhood. But at this moment, he suddenly wanted to try it.

Shen Yue put down his little plate and followed Tang Qiaoqiao's way. He put his head closer to the cake and dug right through it directly with a small fork.

However, Shen Yue found out that he was pitted by Tang Qiaoqiao again.

It looked enjoyable to eat like this, but it was  easier for pieces of cake to fall on his body.

Shen Yue was dressed in a black coat, and now it was dipped in cake cream. To him, who was obsessed with cleanliness, he couldn't bear it.

Shen Yue didn’t know what to do, so he wiped it hurriedly.

Tang Qiaoqiao chuckled and said, "I'll do it."

She sat next to Shen Yue, took a tissue to wipe his clothes, and muttered, "Eating a cake can make you like this. You eat like a child."

Shen Yue retorted angrily, "Isn't this your fault? Why do you have to eat like this? It is vulgar!"

"Then why I didn't get any cream?" Tang Qiaoqiao said.

Shen Yue disliked her. "Look at your face. It looks like a ghost."

Tang Qiaoqiao quickly wiped the corner of her mouth. "Nonsense, it's obviously very clean."

Shen Yue pointed to her cheek.

Tang Qiaoqiao rubbed it.

"Also there."

Shen Yue couldn't see it anymore. He picked up the tissue and wanted to wipe it for her.

Tang Qiaoqiao obediently turned her face to the side.

Shen Yue gently wiped the cream on her cheeks, subconsciously moved slightly, and slowly moved closer. The two people's breath was getting closer and closer.

"Is it all right?" Tang Qiaoqiao turned her head unexpectedly and her cheek rubbed against a soft object.

Shen Yue: ...

Tang Qiaoqiao was stunned for two seconds before realizing that she seemed to have been kissed by Shen Yue just now.

Her face instantly flushed like cooked shrimp.

Shen Yue also sat up straight at the moment, feeling a little lost. This accident was unexpected. His idea was to make progress gradually.

The atmosphere in the sightseeing cabin was a little ambiguous because of the embarrassment.

Tang Qiaoqiao was holding her cheek. The place where Shen Yue had kissed just now was still faintly hot. This kind of experience was unprecedented for her.

She and Shen Yue looked at each other and turned their faces at the same time.

Tang Qiaoqiao sat back in her seat and looked out the window. They had reached the highest point of the Ferris wheel.

The lights of the whole city from far to near are like the shining galaxy, which is fascinating.

Tang Qiaoqiao's heart was beating hard because she knew something was changing.
