Love in the Depths of Time (GL) - Chapter 5
“Lin Xi, let’s go to the amusement park tomorrow!” Jia Le suddenly suggested after school on Friday.
Lin Xi paused while packing her bag. Amusement park? She had never been there before. Every time she passed by, she could only watch the colorful Ferris wheel from afar.
“I…” She opened her mouth, unsure what to say.
“It’s decided then!” Jia Le quickly held her arm. “I’ll wait for you at the school gate at nine tomorrow morning!”
Lin Xi looked at Jia Le, whose eyes sparkled with excitement. She hesitated but then nodded lightly. She felt something warm slowly melting inside her heart.
The weekend arrived with bright sunshine. Lin Xi and Jia Le reached the amusement park early. It was their first time here, and everything looked so new and magical. The colorful Ferris wheel stood tall against the blue sky, the carousel spun slowly to cheerful music, and the air was filled with laughter and excitement from the visitors enjoying the rides.
Standing at the entrance, Lin Xi felt a little overwhelmed. She had never seen such a lively place before. Her eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation. Jia Le, on the other hand, was as excited as a little rabbit. She grabbed Lin Xi’s hand, her eyes darting from one ride to another, not knowing where to start.
“Lin Xi, let’s go on the Ferris wheel first!” Jia Le pointed at the towering ride, her eyes shining with excitement.
Lin Xi felt a bit nervous, but seeing how happy Jia Le was, she couldn’t help but feel a little excited too. They joined the long queue, waiting for their turn. Around them, visitors chatted excitedly, and children’s laughter filled the air, making Lin Xi gradually relax.
Finally, it was their turn. Lin Xi and Jia Le stepped into the Ferris wheel cabin. As it slowly rose, Lin Xi held onto the safety bar tightly. Jia Le, on the other hand, pointed eagerly out the window. “Look, Lin Xi! The view down there is amazing!” she exclaimed.
As the Ferris wheel climbed higher, the entire amusement park unfolded beneath them. Lin Xi watched as the crowd below became smaller and the buildings turned miniature. Her heartbeat, which had been rapid at first, gradually steadied. She began to appreciate the breathtaking view, feeling the gentle breeze brush against her face.
“Lin Xi, how does it feel to be up here?” Jia Le turned to her with bright eyes.
Lin Xi smiled slightly and said, “It feels magical, like flying in the sky. Before, I could only see places like this on TV. I never thought I would get to experience it myself.”
Jia Le nodded. “Me too! This place is so much fun! Later, we have to try the roller coaster and the carousel!”
Seeing Jia Le’s excitement, Lin Xi couldn’t help but look forward to it too. She realized that with Jia Le by her side, she was willing to try new things she had never dared to try before.
The Ferris wheel slowly descended, and they stepped out of the cabin with wide smiles on their faces. They walked to the carousel next. Jia Le eagerly jumped onto a pink horse, while Lin Xi chose a white one.
As the music started, the carousel began to spin. Lin Xi held onto the reins tightly, watching the colorful lights and the happy crowd around her. Warmth filled her heart. Not far away, Jia Le smiled at her and shouted excitedly, “Lin Xi, let’s come again next time!”
Lin Xi nodded and said, “Next time, I want us to watch the sunrise by the sea together.”
Jia Le beamed and replied, “Okay!”
She knew that this trip to the amusement park would become one of her most beautiful memories with Jia Le. At that moment, Lin Xi’s heart was filled with hope and anticipation.
