Right Here Waiting For You

Because Cookie and Ning Tiantian was too young to be allowed for much playground equipment.

But even so, they almost played on all the equipment which they were allowed, such as the bumper car, merry go round, trampoline, pickup truck, playhouses, and pirate ships.

After they had fun, it got late. It was getting dark, and the Ferris wheel was shining with colorful neon lights, which was more dazzling than the new year fireworks.

Ning Tiantian held her cheeks and wondered. If she could have a kiss with Inky on the top of the Ferris wheel, it would be very romantic.

“Inky, we have to buy tickets!” Ning Tiantian shook Li Yanmo’s arm.

Most of the visitors came to the playground for the great view of the Ferris wheel with amazing neon lights at night. After a few minutes, the queue got very long. Ning Tiantian asked Li Yanmo and Cookie to line up.

“Tiantian, I’m afraid I can’t go up the wheel with you.” Cookie suddenly said to Ning Tiantian, looking worried. “I heard that children under 1.2 meters are not allowed to use the Ferris wheel, and I don’t want to play gooseberry between you.”

Ning Tiantian could always surprise Cookie by her bold behavior. If Cookie went with her and Li Yanmo, she was sure that she would see Ning Tiantian do something surprising to Li Yanmo which was not appropriate for her age.

“There is such a thing?” Ning Tiantian looked at Li Yanmo for confirmation.

Li Yanmo nodded and pointed to the sign not far away. “That’s exactly what it says.”

“It’s okay, Cookie. Just follow us. I don’t mind you being the third person.” Ning Tiantian took hold of Cookie’s warm little hand and asked Li, “Inky won’t mind Cookie going with us, am I right?”

Li Yanmo didn’t say a word.

Cookie was thinking. “You don’t mind, but she does!”

“Tiantian, your love is making me jealous of you…” Cookie made up her mind that she was not going up with them and thought about every possible reason that she wouldn’t go. However, Su Yi put his arm around her shoulder tenderly and said, “Cookie, you can go with me.”

“I’m not going…” Cookie didn’t want to go even if it was Ning Tiantian and Li Yanmo, let alone Su Yi, a total stranger to her. And the most important thing was that he was with Xu Jiajia.

But Su Yi totally ignored what she said. Cookie was dragged onto the Ferris wheel by Su Yi. Xu Jiajia pulled a long face all the time and glared at Cookie with an annoying look. But, because Su Yi was with her, Xu Jiajia still kept her temper under control.

“Are the three of them really okay?” Ning Tiantian looked worried.

Li Yanmo knew what she was worried about. “Although Su Yi is not a good boy, he will take good care of Cookie and won’t let anyone bully her. I believe him.”

As for who would be bullied, the answer was clear.

Then, Ning Tiantian and Li Yanmo got on the Ferris wheel, just behind Su Yi’s cabin.

Each cabin had a pink leather sofa, incense, air conditioner, and soft background music. The cabin top was a transparent cover. People in the cabin could see bright stars above when they looked up. It was so romantic.

The Ferris wheel was moving very slowly, like two old people walking hand in hand in the twilight.

When Ning Tiantian and Li Yanmo’s cabin finally climbed to the top, Ning Tiantian, who was sitting next to Li Yanmo, stood up immediately, held Li Yanmo’s cheek, and kissed Li Yanmo on his thin lips.

Li Yanmo, who was not kissed near Cookie for the first time, no longer panicked as before. He frowned and raised her hand in an attempt to keep Ning Tiantian away from him. However, Tiantian held him tighter. “Kiss, or something will happen!”

“What do you mean?” Li Yanmo was confused.

Ning Tiantian didn’t have time to say another word to him. She closed her eyes and wouldn’t leave his lips.
