Love can be labeled as poison. It has the power to ruin you completely. While loving someone deeply gives you the courage to drink that poison happily and die. Or to kill someone else for that poison of love.
But…
When someone loves you deeply, it gives you courage. Courage to live even with that poison of love running wild inside of you.
There are only a few people in your life who will give that courage to you. Looking at Ye Jie's hand in front of her face, Xu Mey was probing whether Ye Jie would be poison who could make her want to die happily or the one which could give her a reason to live. No matter which one it was, one thing was clear to Xu Mey; He walked into her life with ease and he was crawling into her heart with effort.
Leaving all the absurd thoughts aside, Xu Mey gave her hand to him as they intertwined their fingers.
"Wait for us!" They heard a feminine loud voice making them turn to see Wu Xia running towards them. She stopped a few steps away from them and panted like she ran a marathon. "Sister Mey!" She excitedly ran towards Xu Mey to give her a tight hug.
Xu Mey was quite surprised to see her there. She looked at Ye Jie and his smile gave her the affirmation that he invited Wu Xia as well. Wu Xia reluctantly let Xu Mey go. "Sister Mey, do you know how much I wanted to come to your wedding?" She was aggrieved. "This is all of Wang Ge's fault." She pointed at Wu Wang making him shake his head. "I really wanted to come. I even prepared a gift for you. Oh, did you receive my gift or this brother of mine didn't bother with that as well?"
"I got the gift…" Xu Mey replied with patience.
"Oh… oh… Did you open it?" Wu Xia was looking at her starry-eyed.
"Not yet… I didn't get a chance to see the wedding gifts yet." Xu Mey replied honestly.
Knowing Xu Mey's nature, Wu Xia didn't find it odd at all. "You need to help me with this idiot brother of mine. He didn't even tell me that he came back." Wu Xia glared Wu Wang who very conveniently ignored it.
"Wang Ge, this is not fair with our baby sister Xia. You should have let her come to my wedding." Wu Xia gave a provoking look to Wu Wang. " You know how much she loves free food."
Everyone burst into laughter. Wu Xia pouted as she looked at Xu Mey with a grievance. "Sister Mey!"
Xu Mey gave her a side hug. "That was just a joke, baby. Even though we know you love to eat but we won't say that you love to eat ever again." Although she was consoling Wu Xia indirectly, she still reminded her how much she loved to eat.
After dilly-dallying, they walked inside the Star Play Amusement Park. It was one of the biggest parks in the city.
"Shen-Shen, let's go on the swing carousel, " Sun Ju pulled Lin Shen towards the ride.
"What ride do you want to try?" Ye Jie asked Xu Mey in a low voice.
Xu Mey tapped her index finger on the chin in a thoughtful manner. "Mm… I want to ride all of these." She announced.
When Li Qiao first told him that Xu Mey had never been to an amusement park, he was surprised. But why she never came to amusement parks was something Li Qiao didn't share with him.
He happily agreed to accompany her to all the rides. "Qiao, you take Kim to that horse carousel. She's scared of heights and Shen Ge is accompanying Sun Ju." Xu Mey looked at Wu Xia who already dragged Ming Qu to the electric trackless train. "Wang Ge, you give company to Jian Ge."
"I have better things to do honey Mey." As Wu Wang said it, his assistant brought his painting equipment for him.
Wu Wang and He Jian both had the most arguments in the group but still, they were the closest ones as well. Since both shared a lot of habits. While Wu Wang was going to paint, He Jian was going to capture the moments in his camera.
Xu Mey decided to take the rollercoaster. "Are you scared?" Ye Jie asked as he looked at her nervous face. Xu Mey nodded. "Why did you choose this ride then?"
"You don't get it, husband. Everybody is sacred but they still ride this. Why?" Ye Jie turned his head to face his wife. "Because the moment we get over that momentary fear, that's when the real thrill of life begins." Ye Jie nodded in agreement.
During the ride, Xu Mey held Ye Jie's hands in a right grasp. Even though it turned painful but Ye Jie wasn't the one to complain about it at all. After going through Rollercoaster, Swing Carousel, Ferris Wheel and other thrill rides, Ye Jie was exhausted. But Xu Mey was energetic as ever.
"Shen-Shen, you have to get that teddy bear for me, okay? Don't let these idiots win." They were passing when the heard Sun Ju's cute voice near a stall.
