You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 656 A Ferris Wheel

On the next day, around noon, Michelle and eight other people went to enjoy a seafood buffet. Leon, on the other hand, did not join them for lunch, because he had other matters to attend to, but he promised to arrive at the amusement park around two o'clock in the afternoon on time.

Time passed by fast, and Leon was already on his way to the amusement park. Bryant drove him there, but since the car was a Rolls-Royce, Leon had to get off before he could get a good glimpse of the park's gate. He then had to walk five hundred meters under the sun.

Although there were a lot of people at the gate of the amusement park, Leon was able to spot Michelle at a glance.

Michelle dressed up a little different from usual today. She wore a red hair band, while her hair was tied behind her ears, revealing her snow-white ears as well as her beaming face. Her eyes were bright under the sun, making her shining and even more attractive.

As for her outfit, she wore a white flounce shirt atop a slip dress. The base color of her outfit was beige, while the bowknot on her chest was red in color, which matched the hair band on her head.

On the hemline of her beige dress were strawberries carefully sewn and styled. The hem reached her knees, and so the rest of her fair legs were exposed. She wore leather shoes, and with every step, the hem of her dress shook gracefully.

Despite the change in her style today, she was still no different from before. She was still as cute as her small handbag shaped like a cat's head.

As soon as he saw her, Leon walked over with a smile and greeted, "Michelle!"

Leon wore a simple white statement shirt and black pants, which he paired with creamy vintage sneakers, making him look clean and fresh.

Hearing the familiar voice, Michelle turned her head. The other looked over as well, only to feel a gush of fresh wind blow over and embrace them.

"Leon, I am here!" Michelle waved her hand and trotted happily towards him.

As Leon walked over to meet Michelle halfway, he looked gentle and noble with his chin up. Many people turned their heads towards him.

People wondered if Leon was an actor or something.

Rainy gulped down the drink in her mouth and said, "To be honest, it's pity that Leon is not a star. I mean, if he debuts, I will most likely be his fan."

"Hmm, I just took a quick glance at him last time. I thought it was because he was just beautiful at a distance." Debra looked closely at Leon this time. "He does look more handsome at a short distance."

"I know, right? He is so handsome!" Rainy had become a fan of Leon. Just when she was about to scream, her eyes were covered by a huge hand, which turned out to be her boyfriend. She raised her hand and patted the back of his. "I just want to have a look. Please?"

Her boyfriend kept his hand on her face, covering her line of sight so that she would not look at Leon. Rainy exerted force and tried to pull his hand away but failed. As a result, she was lifted up and carried with one arm.

Seeing Rainy lifted up, Aron raised his eyebrows and said, "Woah, dude, you have good arm strength."

Rainy opened her mouth and bit her boyfriend's arm. Then he kissed her lips. She shouted at him and chased after him. The two ran crazily around outside the amusement park.

The others remained on their spot.

Michelle and Leon joined the others. Lydia and Austin greeted Leon politely.

Michelle introduced Leon to her friends and then introduced her friends to him. After the introduction, Rainy and her boyfriend finally stopped chasing each other and walked towards the small group.

Not long after, they all went inside the amusement park in high spirits. Excitement and thrilling emotions filled them as they almost tried all the rides.

For Leon, this was the second time Michelle dragged him here. He thought that he would also be watching her as he did the first time, but in fact, he took all the rides with her.

Each ride had their own excitement with them, but all of them were fun for Leon, especially since all rides had people endlessly screaming in his ears. For a moment, he wanted to try screaming as well, but not because of the thrill of the rides, but because of the loss and pain deep inside his heart that so longed to get out.

He didn't have such an experience in venting out emotions, since all he knew was kept them inside of his heart. However, every time he felt ready to open his mouth and release such emotions, the ride would soon end.

Every missed chance made Leon a little disappointed.

After trying almost all exciting rides, there was only one left that they hadn't tried yet, and it was the haunted house. Before going to the haunted house, Rainy informed them that she wanted to play a rather placid activity first to calm herself down before going for another rush of adrenaline inside the haunted house.

The others nodded and suggested they all take the Ferris wheel then.

However, Michelle decided not to go with them, and so Leon stayed with her. He went to get a soda.

"There is no strawberry-flavored soda. So I bought the orange one."

The soda was taken out of the fridge, and a thin layer of moisture started to form on the bottle, making Leon's slender fingers wet and shining due to the sun's rays.

Michelle stared at his hand for a while before taking the soda with a smile. She took a huge gulp and felt very satisfied after the cold and refreshing liquid touched her mouth and throat.

Leon watched Michelle enjoy her drink, and seeing her drink happily made him smile.

"It tastes amazing! Thank you, Leon!" Michelle stared at his hand again and complimented, "Leon, your hands are indeed so beautiful!"

"What? Beautiful?" Leon asked in disbelief and turned to look around his hand. "Not bad."

"Hmm, I think they do look good." Michelle placed the soda aside and scooted over to give some space on her left before patting the seat beside her. "Leon, come and sit down. Let's enjoy this swing while waiting for them."

Leon sat next to her, making the chair sway a little by his weight. Despite the additional weight, the swing's iron chains connected sturdily on the sunshade. There were multiple trees surrounding the bench swing as well, so they were well-shaded and weren't exposed to the sun at all.

Leon asked, "Why didn't you ride the Ferris wheel with them? Girls like those kinds of rides, right? I mean, Ferris wheel is kind of romantic."

"Yeah, I know. That's why I didn't ride with them. I want to go with my boyfriend." Michelle swung her legs back and forth. "I want to kiss my boyfriend by the time we reach the peak of the Ferris

wheel like the ones I see on TV. We won't ride there around day time. The atmosphere at night is more romantic with all the lights around us."

When his lips almost touched his bottle of water, he heard her mention something about kissing. His hand froze in place and trembled. In the end, he wasn't able to drink any water.

As a matter of fact, it was not such a big deal to talk about such intimate things. After all, he talked openly with Wynn and the others about it, but Michelle was different. He felt a little uncomfortable talking about it with her, as if he had to think about what to say, or he might lead Michelle into something bad.

"Well, that makes sense." After that vague reply, he decided to just change the topic. "What's in your bag? It is bulging!"

With a pat on her bag, she replied mysteriously, "Well, it's a secret, but we can use them when we go inside the haunted house later."

'The what? The haunted house?!'

Hearing this made Leon's body stiffen as if a chill suddenly ran down his spine. Realizing what he had done, he preferred to talk about the previous topic. 'Did she really mention the haunted house?'

He was really frightened about the idea of entering the haunted house. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

This made him remember about the phone call Michelle had with her roommates and how they talked about going to try the haunted house.

'Was I out of my mind to agree to come with them?'

Pretending to be calm, Leon swallowed and asked, "Michelle, are we really going to the haunted house later?"

"Yes, I mean, why not? I came here once with Nini, and I was almost scared to cry. After I went back, I told my roommates everything about it. They had always wanted to come here and try it themselves." Michelle clenched her bag. This time, she was sure that she would never let out a tear.

Calling Wynn's post in his WeChat Moments, she asked, "Leon, are you afraid of going inside the haunted house?"

'Of course I am!'

However, Leon looked at her and lied. "No, of course not."

After that, he turned away, afraid that his face might betray his words. He twisted the water bottle back and forth with his hands, wanting to beat himself with it.

It was not long after that he started to regret what he had said.

After all, he would rather die here than enter the haunted house.

He could not take back what he said. After the others got off the Ferris wheel, Leon dragged himself and followed them like a robot towards the haunted house.
