The animation continues playing.

Si stood downstairs at the dormitory building.

He looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.

The door behind me was pushed open.

Ella trotted out, clutching the pink notebook in her arms, a faint blush on her face.

She was wearing a white dress, and her hair was styled more neatly than usual.

Si stared at her for two seconds.

"You today..."

"Manbang picked it out for me."

Ella lowered her head, the tips of her ears turning red, and her voice was barely audible.

She said I should dress nicely for my date.

Si opened his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbed, and finally only managed to utter two words.

"nice."

Ella's lips curved into a smile, and her eyes narrowed into slits.

She opened the notebook and pointed her finger to the last page.

That page only had one line of text.

"Ride the Ferris wheel with Tsukasa until the very end."

The last two words were circled twice, the ink from the ballpoint pen pressed down so heavily that the paper was dented.

Si looked at the words, his throat felt like it was blocked by something, but the smile on his face didn't change.

"Let's go."

He stretched out his hand.

Ella tucked the notebook under her arm and grasped Si's hands with both of hers.

The ten fingers were interlocked and clenched tightly.

The comments section was silent for about half a second before being flooded with cries.

She was wearing a skirt.

[These clothes were probably picked out for Ella while she was holding back tears!]

I don't want to watch anymore. I really don't want to watch anymore. But I'm afraid to turn it off.

At the entrance of the amusement park, the colorful arched sign shone brightly in the morning light.

Ella paused for a moment as she stepped through the door.

She looked up and glanced around.

The carousel was turning slowly, and the roller coaster track in the distance drew an arc in the sky.

"here."

Ella's voice trembled slightly.

"This is the place where we first went on a field mission together."

Si nodded.

You fell three times that time.

"No way!"

Ella immediately retorted, her face turning bright red.

"Two falls at most! The third time was because you tripped me!"

"You were the one who stepped on your shoelace that time."

"You were walking too fast!"

The two walked in, bickering, their voices carrying far through the empty amusement park in the early morning.

The countdown numbers in the upper right corner of the official website are decreasing.

Healing Animation Company.

Su Bai leaned back in his chair, clasped his hands behind his head, and stared at the two figures walking side by side into the amusement park on the screen.

Shen Qingyue sat beside her, her eyes already red, but she was still trying to hold on.

"You've brightened the color tone."

Her voice was a little hoarse.

"Um."

Su Bai's tone was nonchalant.

"It's brighter than any previous episode. The saturation is maxed out, two layers of warm-toned filters are applied, and even the halo effect has been specially processed."

Why?

"Because the brighter it is now, the darker it will be when it finally goes out."

Shen Qingyue took a deep breath and clenched her fists even tighter.

In the animation, the two embark on their amusement park adventure.

The first stop was the carousel.

Ella insisted on riding the white wooden horse on the outermost ring, but she couldn't reach the pedals.

Si lifted her up from behind, supporting her waist, while he stood beside her holding onto the railing.

As the carousel started to turn, a corner of Ella's skirt was lifted by the wind.

She held the reins with one hand and gripped the hem of her skirt tightly with the other, her expression shifting wildly between excitement and panic.

Si laughed out loud from the side.

Ella glared at him.

"Don't laugh!"

"I didn't laugh."

"Your lips are practically curled up to the sky!"

The second stop was the shooting range.

Si picked up the air gun, aimed for a long time, and then missed all three shots.

The stall owner looked at him with a strange expression.

It's as if it's saying, "Brother, don't push yourself too hard."

Ella leaned closer, tilted her head to look at the target, took the gun from Si's hand, and fired three shots, hitting the target every time.

The stall owner's expression cracked.

Si's expression also cracked.

Ella hugged the brown teddy bear she had won, her eyes crinkling with a smug smile.

"Sir, is there a bug in your aiming module?"

"I didn't use any cheats, so where would I get an aiming module?"

"Oh, so you're just bad at it."

"..."

The comments section was filled with laughter and tears.

[Ella, wake up! You're talking to your boyfriend!]

[I'm laughing so hard I want to cry at the same time. This is such an ordinary couple's daily life, why does it hurt my heart to watch it?]

The number in the top right corner is still changing! Can you please stop me from seeing that number?!

The two of them then went on a pirate ship ride.

At the peak of her attack, Ella screamed and huddled into Tsukasa's arms, digging her fingers into his arm.

When Si came down, he had five crescent-shaped fingernail marks on his forearm, all bright red.

Ella lowered her head and apologized. Si said it was okay, and then the two of them went to buy crepes.

Strawberry flavor, half for each person.

Ella took a bite, and cream got on the tip of her nose without her noticing.

Si looked at the white cream on the tip of her nose, didn't tell her, and took out his phone to take a picture.

The moment the shutter clicked, Ella looked up.

What are you filming?

"evidence."

"What evidence?"

"Evidence that you eat like a child."

Ella's face flushed red to the roots of her neck, and she reached out to grab the phone.

Si raised his arm, and the two chased and played around on the bench for a while.

The scene was incredibly heartwarming.

But the numbers in the upper right corner of the screen didn't stop.

It's falling, second by second.

The style of the comments section is becoming increasingly polarized.

I was just scrolling through the previous post, it was so sweet, I'm going to get diabetes.

The next thing is, I don't dare look at the top right corner where I put a sticky note.

The next item is a whole row of ellipses.

Time passed little by little.

Carousel, pirate ship, bumper cars, haunted house, shooting range, cotton candy, takoyaki, gashapon machine.

After completing each activity, Ella would stop and take out the pink notebook from her pocket.

Turn to the corresponding page.

Put a checkmark on it carefully.

Each checkmark was made very slowly.

She always looked down when she ticked the box, her bangs covering most of her face.

Si stood by and waited, without urging him.

As the sun began to set, the sky was dyed a large expanse of orange-red.

Ella stopped in her tracks.

She raised her head and looked into the distance.

At the end of the path stood that enormous Ferris wheel.

The cockpit rotated slowly high in the sky, like a clock that never stops.

Ella stared at the Ferris wheel for a long time.

She opened the notebook and turned to the last page.

"Ride the Ferris wheel with Tsukasa until the very end."

That's the only one left.

Ella closed the notebook and turned around.

The setting sun burned behind her, bathing her silhouette in a soft gold.

She reached out her hand to Si.

"Let's go, Si."

Si looked down at the outstretched hand.

Her fingers were slender, and her fingertips trembled slightly.

He didn't move his feet, just stood there, looking at Ella.

There was no sadness or fear in Ella's eyes.

There was only one pure expectation.

Si raised his hand and grasped her fingers.

The moment their palms touched, Ella's fingers tightened, digging into his.

The two walked towards the Ferris wheel.

The Ferris wheel queue area was empty, except for the two of them.

The staff opened the cockpit door, and Ella stepped in first, followed by Si.

The cockpit door closed.

With a click, the latch locked.

The Ferris wheel began to turn.

The cockpit slowly lifted off the ground.

It got dark.

The amusement park on the ground gets smaller and smaller under your feet; the carousel becomes a colorful disc, and the sidewalk becomes a thin line.

The city outside the window gradually unfolds in the field of vision.

One by one, the lights of every household came on.

Ella leaned on Si's shoulder, holding the brown teddy bear in her arms, her gaze passing through the glass window and landing on the distant night sky.

The cabin was very quiet.

It was so quiet that you could hear the hum of the Ferris wheel's gears meshing.

The countdown in the upper right corner of the official website has jumped to its final countdown.

The comments section went completely wild at that moment.

Please don't go up there! If you go up, you won't be able to come back!

[The Ferris wheel reaching the top means it's over! I don't want to watch anymore! I can't bear to watch!]

[Who started this trending topic #PleaseDontGoOnTheFerrisWheel?! It's number one now!]

[You old scoundrel Su, just kill me! Even a single stab to the ground would be better than this!]

I held the phone up to my eyes, my hands trembling, the screen streaked with tears.

Healing Animation Company.

Shen Qingyue's tears streamed down her cheeks and dripped onto her clothes, but she didn't care at all.

Su Bai sat next to her, staring at the cockpit slowly rising on the screen.

Outside the window, thousands of lights twinkled; inside the cabin, two people's reflections shone.

"The highest stage."

Su Bai's voice was very soft.

"Ready."

Shen Qingyue turned her head to look at him, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.

Su Bai's gaze fell on the rapidly rising depression value on the system panel, lingering for two seconds.

He turned off the panel.

He looked at the screen again.

The Ferris wheel is still turning.

The cabin is still rising.

The countdown is still ticking.

The city lights filled the lower half of the picture.

In the cockpit, Ella's profile, resting on Si's shoulder, occupied the upper half of the cabin.

The corners of her mouth were curved in a smile.

The starlight outside the window was reflected in my eyes.
