The ferris wheel moved again, and Hui Yin continued plastering the panda against the window. She noticed that Jiang Xu seemed to be fidgeting beside her.

"Oh that's right, you were about to tell me something," she remembered. "What is it?"

Jiang Xu gathered all of his courage and said, "Wifey, can I kiss you when the ferris wheel reaches its highest point?"

One, two, three, four, five...Hui Yin was dumbstruck. Thirteen words!

Was she dreaming?

"Sure," she replied easily, still dazed. For Jiang Xu to say thirteen words, a kiss was nothing! "Wait...where are you going to kiss me?"

Jiang Xu blushed. He wanted to kiss her on the lips again, but they had only started dating. He could not be greedy.

"The...forehead?"

"The forehead? Okay."

Hui Yin relaxed. First kisses always made her anxious. The kiss earlier didn't count because it was unexpected. But if Jiang Xu kissed her again...Hui Yin pressed a hand over her racing heart. Since when did this lazy bum had the power to make her feel nervous?

Hui Yin glanced down. Lu Shen and Nian Zhen didn't seem to be talking to each other. Both of them were looking outside the window, while Nian Zhen kept sneaking glances at Lu Shen. Even if they looked up, they probably wouldn't be able to see them.

Hui Yin let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and stared at Jiang Xu. She raised her hand and tried combing his hair.

"Why are they always sticking up?" she grumbled.

Jiang Xu smiled. His Wifey looked distracted before, but she was looking at him now. He liked his messy hair, since it always grabbed her attention. He could have made his hair look neat with gel and other hair products, but he didn't.

"You don't like my hair?" he asked.

"No!"

"Then do you like me?"

Her hand froze while combing his hair, and Jiang Xu gently captured her wrist. He lowered her hand and pressed it against his chest, directly over his heart. Hui Yin could feel his rapid heartbeat.

"Wifey, I like you."

Her mouth was almost too dry to speak. Hui Yin could only nod like an idiot.

They stared at each other for what seemed like hours. Jiang Xu's stomach was knotted up, and cold sweat glistened on his furrowed brow.

That was too fast, wasn't it? Did he scare her? Was he not supposed to say that? Jiang Xu's thoughts jumbled and each one of them scolded him for impulsively blurting out his feelings. If they weren't high up in the air, he would have made a lame excuse and ran away.

Hui Yin finally dropped her gaze and said softly, "We're here."

Her voice was almost too quiet, less sure. She looked back up at him, and there was a flush on her cheeks that made her look vulnerable. Jiang Xu held his breath as Hui Yin's hair slid over her shoulder, and her eyes that could capture a person's soul dominated his vision.

Her face came closer and closer, until she tentatively touched her lips against his.

Jiang Xu's mind went blank.

A long while after Hui Yin had leaned back and burrowed her face into the panda, Jiang Xu said haltingly, "Wifey...forehead?"

Hui Yin didn't lift up her face. "Just consider it a bonus."

—Wifey, I like you.

How long had she been waiting for those simple words to be said to her?

That was all she ever wanted. For the person she loved to love her back, and for the two of them to live happily together. She tried her hardest to be a good housewife to Lu Shen so that he could say those three words to her, but either in her past life or in this life, he had never said it.

Hui Yin thought that maybe she wasn't worthy of it.

But Jiang Xu had said it to her!

"I really wish I didn't have to go back."

Because her voice was muffled, Jiang Xu didn't understand her. He wanted to bury his face into the panda too, as he was sure that he looked like a red tomato from thinking about the kiss. But Wifey's embarrassed appearance...was too cute!

Peeking through the strands of her long hair, Jiang Xu could see that the tips of her ears were red. He really wanted to kiss her again!

After regaining a bit of her dignity, Hui Yin finally had the courage to meet his eyes. Her voice was small.

"I'm going to take responsibility for that kiss too."

Jiang Xu laughed and pinched her cheeks.

"Wifey, you are so cute."

Hui Yin used the panda's arm to slap his hand away.

She glanced at the window, and a tingle across her skin made Hui Yin instinctively raise her head.

Her gaze collided with his.

Hui Yin's breathing stopped.

Lu Shen was already looking at them.
