Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Why
“Have you never heard of a legend?” Mengmeng saw that he looked completely clueless, immediately stopped bouncing around, and hurried over to his side. Her little head leaned close to his face, “Legend has it that if a couple kisses at the top of the Ferris wheel, they will be happy together forever!”
Gu Zhihan listened more and more speechless, “No wonder so many people like to ride the Ferris wheel; that’s some very effective advertising.”
He had never believed those boring, and very likely money-making, “legends.”
“It’s not an advertisement, it’s true…” Mengmeng saw that he actually didn’t believe it, and suddenly got a bit angry, punching his chest with her little fist.
“Fine, even if it’s true, the legend doesn’t apply to us; we can’t possibly be together forever.” Gu Zhihan didn’t bother to argue with this silly pig anymore. He simply grabbed her little fist and told her the harsh truth.
Gu Zhihan looked down at her and continued, “Because you also said that it’s only if lovers kiss at the moment the Ferris wheel reaches the top can they be together forever. This prerequisite assumes that the two people are lovers, but obviously, we are not.”
“Since we are not lovers, this legend, whether true or not, doesn’t apply to us.”
He analyzed it as if it were a math problem, with impeccable logic.
Mengmeng couldn’t help but be dumbfounded, “Uh… this… I… ”
Why does he manage to make every romantic thing utterly unromantic?
“Furthermore, your kissing skills are really bad.” When the Ferris wheel stopped, Gu Zhihan added another comment, threw her a ‘figure it out yourself’ look, and then was the first to walk off the Ferris wheel.
“Hey, you wait, what exactly is wrong with my kissing skills?” Mengmeng chased after him, questioning indignantly.
How could her kissing skills possibly be bad? She always took out a magnifying glass to carefully observe the moves whenever she saw the main characters in TV shows kissing, and etched them meticulously in her memory!
“Everything is pretty bad.”
Gu Zhihan, walking ahead, suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked back at her chasing after him.
“You just bit my lip, actually.”
As she reached him, Gu Zhihan lifted his finger and pointed at his lip.
“Did I?” Mengmeng suddenly felt a bit guilty, and when she actually saw that his lip was indeed split, she felt even more guilty.
She had indeed bitten him.
“So, did I?” Gu Zhihan asked again.
“That, well, there really is…” Mengmeng made guilty eye contact and then said, “Don’t be angry, I just lack experience. I will definitely learn to kiss well, ensuring that I won’t bite you the next time we kiss.”
“I hope there won’t be a next time.” Gu Zhihan dropped a few words impatiently, ready to turn and leave.
“That’s probably not very likely…” Mengmeng spread her hands helplessly behind him; after all, sometimes she couldn’t control herself.
Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but scowl, then suddenly did something unexpected— he pulled her toward him.
Mengmeng stumbled into his arms, her eyes clear and puzzled as she looked up at him, “What are you…”
Before she could finish, he sealed her lips just as she had done before.
To prevent being caught off-guard by a kiss or having his lip bitten again next time, he decided to personally show her what a real kiss should be like…
It was a kiss as gentle as a feather, making one feel surrounded by pink bubbles, taste like soft candy, and even feel the heart racing “thump thump thump.”
