Meanwhile, Ji Mu was left holding a bunch of food wrappers and reluctantly finishing her leftovers.

"How did I end up as the heartless tool guy responsible for cleaning up half-eaten snacks?"

"Because we can't waste food," Ruan Qingqing replied, blinking playfully.

With her mouth full of half a sausage, Ji Mu puffed out her cheeks and grumbled, "Then why not just buy a little less?"

She pouted and whined sweetly, "Because I wanted to try a little bit of everything."

Her soft, syrupy voice sounded like it had just been dipped in honey, so sweet it could melt a person's heart.

Faced with the girl's shameless display of cuteness, Ji Mu had no way to fight back.

"...Alright."

You win.

"Hehe~"

Just then, a photographer approached them with a camera slung over his shoulder and a warm smile.

"Excuse me, sorry to bother you."

He asked politely and with genuine friendliness.

"I've been watching for a while. Seeing the two of you standing together is such a perfect shot. Would you mind if I took a photo of you? It'd be a shame not to capture a moment like this."

"Of course!"

Ruan Qingqing readily agreed, delighted by the request.

What did Ji Mu think?

Well, it's not important.

Today was about accompanying a dear friend on her final journey. He was on board with whatever she wanted.

They moved to a quieter part of the park.

Shedding her usual shyness, Ruan Qingqing boldly wrapped her arm around Ji Mu's and flashed a peace sign at the camera.

The photographer adjusted his lens and pressed the shutter, capturing the moment.

The girl's skin was as white as snow, and her face lit up with a sweet, blissful smile, pure and radiant.

Beside her, the boy offered a cooperative smile, looking graceful and poised like a young noble.

Within the photo frame, light and shadow intertwined.

Standing side by side and leaning into each other, they captured the most beautiful scene, like a painting come to life.

Her fingertips brushed the photo, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Her touch was cold, but her heart felt warm.

Ji Mu and the photographer exchanged polite refusals, but under the photographer's firm insistence, Ji Mu handed over 500 yuan as payment and thanks.

...

As evening fell, the sky gradually darkened.

The amusement park lit up with a dazzling display of lights.

Hand in hand, the girl and boy rode one after another, sharing laughter and creating memories.

The carousel's cheerful warmth, paired with dazzling neon lights and lilting music, made stepping inside feel like entering a fairy tale world.

An evening of entertainment began with a stage play, whose ever-changing scenes and dazzling special effects told a story of love and dreams on an adventurous journey.

In the lively bumper car arena, laughter and excitement filled the air. Even the adults forgot their age for a while, swept up in childhood memories of pure joy.

From the miniature train to the haunted house to the spinning swings...

At last, the two of them arrived beneath the Ferris wheel.

The two gazed up at the slowly turning giant wheel before stepping into a cabin. With a soft jolt, the wheel began to rise steadily.

They felt as if they were breaking free from the earth's pull, setting off toward the endless starry sky.

The view outside the window shifted with their height.

The glowing lights of the amusement park gradually gave way to the sprawling brilliance of the cityscape in the distance, each scene more dreamlike than the last.

Boom—

Suddenly, the first firework burst into the sky, shattering the night's stillness.

Vibrant explosions followed one after another, painting the dark canvas above with dazzling color and turning the night as bright as day.

The fireworks festival had begun.

Ruan Qingqing gazed at the sky softly.

The multicolored lights brushed across the boy's profile, outlining his features with sharp, elegant lines.

So beautiful.

And not just the fireworks...

"Mu Mu, are you leaving the day after tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I packed a few days ago."

"I'm almost done, too. Mom and I will be heading back to the capital with Grandpa soon."

"Silly goose, take good care of yourself over there."

"You too."

"All right."

"..."

The starlight and fireworks shimmered together in the sky, but their brilliance couldn't hide the sudden heaviness that settled between them.

The two of them sat side by side in comfortable silence.

They both knew it was their last evening together in Tianhua City.

Outside the window, the scenery changed with each passing second.

As the Ferris wheel cabin neared the end of its rotation, the reality of their impending farewell became heavier and more tangible.

After a brief silence, Ruan Qingqing gathered her courage and gently tugged at the boy's sleeve.

"Mu Mu, maybe in about half a year, I'll travel a bit."

Their eyes met. She tried to sound casual, suppressing her emotions as she twirled a strand of hair behind her ear.

"I don't know if you'll have forgotten me by then, Mu Mu. Six months is a long time. If I chose to come find you, would you wait for me?"

Realizing her words might have sounded unreasonable, she quickly laughed it off in the lightest tone she could manage.

"Hehe, I'm just kidding. Everyone should live their life freely. I can't be selfish and ask you to..."

"I will."

Boom—

A firework exploded in the night sky with a thunderous crack, echoing in their ears.

The brilliant light reflected in her eyes, and the mask Ruan Qingqing wore—one of calm and playfulness—began to crumble.

Many years later, her memories always circled back to this night.

The noise of the bustling amusement park pulsed like the heartbeat of the Earth.

Yet somehow, her ears had filtered out all the background sounds.

All that remained was the boy's serious, steady voice as he said,

"Silly goose. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you."

The wind stilled. The fireworks faded.

Love was like moss growing beneath damp stone tiles, quietly thriving in a forgotten corner.

The girl, abandoned by the world, had a heart that beat wildly for one person alone.

"...Mu Mu."

Her hands lifted unconsciously, trembling slightly as if reaching for a distant, precious treasure.

When her fingertips brushed against the warmth of his cheek, her eyes instantly filled with shimmering light and gentle affection.

She leaned in slowly and softly, resting her head against his chest.

Breathing in his unique scent of soap, she curved her lips into a smile, closing her eyes in peace.

He was like a sheet of pure, unblemished paper.

Like cotton blooming in open fields.

He was like the first snowfall blanketing the earth when winter arrived.

The world loves witnessing two things the most: dragging a saint off their pedestal and elevating an ordinary person onto one..

Just as paper will eventually be stained with ink, cotton will inevitably be plucked, and snow-covered ground will not remain untouched.

Even the purest things will one day be thoroughly defiled.

There will always be someone who will teach him what it means to feel the stirrings of love, who ignites the fire of desire within him, who makes him lose control in the throes of passion.

So why can't that person be her?

Why can't that person be her?

If I were a succubus, would you love me then?
