Ferris Wheel

Yan Qing Shan was having the time of her life. She knows it was a bit too much of her to take advantage of Zi Jue's discomfort. But this fact also made her amused and happy. It was kind of fun to tease him. It helped distract her from feeling nervous.

She might act nonchalant and all but darn it, she was nervous as heck. This was her first date, alright? She lived her first life cooped up in a library and utterly clueless about real-life romance. Let's admit it, those on novels are simply too unrealistic and high-handed. What goes well in writing can end up a disaster in actuality.

Yan Qing Shan definitely did not want that. She was finall living life. She wanted the best. She researched for this date even before she had the time to invite him. If she was going to try out this relationship, she was hell-bent on doing it properly.

She tried to focus on the movie. But deep inside, Yan Qing Shan was waiting for him to put his arm around her. Or even just hold her hands. That was what boyfriends were supposed to do right? Wait, Zi Jue was already her boyfriend at this rate, isn't he? Or is it ex-husband? After all, their marriage was never annulled before she died. That would make him still her husband. But, they haven't married yet in this lifetime, though.

She shook her head, disregarding those useless thoughts. It doesn't really matter at this point. One thing was for sure, they have a relationship. And she has already claimed dibs on Zi Jue. She couldn't deny the attraction she felt for him. There was no point. And was there a need to in the first place? Of she kept on denying that spark of attraction, it would be quite a loss.

He was after all, a dreamboat and hopelessly in love with her. Yan Qing Shan could now understand why Zi Jue was the most sought-after bachelor. He was quite a fine specimen. His genes were topnotch. He has everything at the tip of his hand. Who in their right mind wouldn't want to be his woman?

Oh. Wait. Wouldn't that be me? I didn't want to be his woman in the past. Well, not didn't want to be his, per se. But more like, she didn't want to be anyone's woman. Such was the pride of a genius. So does that mean she wasn't in the right mind back then?

Aish. It was the fault of this smiling devil. He was on the verge of disappointing her completely. She wouldn't think of other things if he only make his move. It is already half-way into the movie and Zi Jue was there with his eyes intent on the screen and eating popcorn like it was the most delicious thing in the world. Was the movie that great? Should she have picked a horror movie instead and acted scared so he would embrace and comfort her? Yan Qing Shan took note of that.

This was why when the opportunity presented itself, Yan Qing Shan took her revenge. She teased him with an almost kiss when a steamy scene played out. The guy became stiff as a hardwood. Yan Qing Shan was pleased.

The movie ended with no significant something happening. Yan Qing Shan was sulking inside. Should she be the one to make the first move, in the end? But she was already the one who invited him out. Aiyah! Where was the dream date that the articles were saying? There was no doubt about it, they really were faulty.

Yan Qing Shan toughened herself. Maybe things will be different at the amusement park. She would be able to finally try kissing and prove if it really was pleasurable as they say. That would be a good research material. Not to mention, Zi Jue has really nice lips. They looked soft and inviting. But first she must make sure Zi Jue actually kisses her.

The whole ride to the amusement park went on without a hitch. As in they were both awkwardly silent. Yan Qing Shan waited for him to talk. But in the end, they arrived without a sound coming out of his luscious mouth.

"What do you want to ride first, Shan Er?"

She heard him ask coolly when they entered the premises of the park. The place looked like a wonderland and it made anyone feel like a princess. Including her. If only her prince cooperated. Sigh.

Yan Qing Shan stared at him for a long time. Then she pointed at the inconspicuously, huge, and bright wheel with its glimmering light beckoning to them. In a curt tone, she said

"Ferris Wheel."
