Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 466 - 337. Meeting you is my luck.
At 6:30 in the evening, six people took the elevator to the top floor of Canton Tower.
Despite being partially obstructed by pillars that resembled steel monsters, at a height of 454 meters, they could still take in the entire view of Hai Xinsa and the Pearl River.
By this time, Zhang Yiyi had already realized she had been duped, as it was a holiday period and there were many tourists riding the Ferris Wheel, so each cabin had to be fully occupied with six people, which exactly matched their group size.
The plan to ride the Ferris Wheel alone with Xu Qingfan and then kiss him at the highest point had fallen through.
In an unnoticed corner, Zhang Yiyi secretly pouted at her brother, then quickly regained her smile and followed the group.
Their tickets included a sightseeing pass and the Ferris Wheel ride, priced at 168 yuan per person, which wouldn't be much cheaper even ten years later, let alone the hundred-something yuan that could buy three KFC family buckets back in 2010; yet, the attraction was still swarming with visitors.
Luckily, the six of them were just in time for the last cabin in the next round.
Guided by the staff, they boarded the Ferris Wheel smoothly at 6:43 PM.
Once the door was automatically locked, the Ferris Wheel began to move slowly, and the five girls stood up excitedly to overlook the scenery outside the window.
The ground below was divided into segments, with countless workers tiny as ants busy constructing, aside from the famous Twin Towers, the Port City West Tower, and soon there would be innumerable high-rises soaring into the sky.
"It's so beautiful!"
The five girls leaned on the glass, tiptoeing, genuinely marveling.
Xu Qingfan moved behind Zhang Yiyi, as it was her birthday after all, and she deserved extra attention.
"There are too many people because of the National Holiday," he said gently, placing his hand on her shoulder.
Zhang Yiyi's shoulders trembled slightly, and her already bright eyes lit up even more.
She tilted her head back, resting it on Xu Qingfan's shoulder, her eyes meeting his.
Zhang Yiyi merely blinked playfully, her eyes smiling, and although she said nothing, her look spoke volumes.
Xu Qingfan also remained silent, pinched the girl's rosy cheek lightly, and gently wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
In a past life, just before Xia Xiaoxiao went abroad, they had ridden the Ferris Wheel together once.
Back then, it was mid-June, not a holiday, and the two of them shared one Ferris Wheel cabin.
Thus, Xu Qingfan subconsciously thought that the Canton Tower's Ferris Wheel was two people per cabin, ideally pairing off his group of six into three cabins.
However, during the holiday each cabin had to be fully occupied, and Zhang Yiyi's long-anticipated birthday gift, just like that, was gone.
Realizing the girl's sensitive feelings, Xu Qingfan was prompted to say that seemingly offhanded remark.
Zhang Yiyi seemed to understand, and her eyes conveyed a message that roughly said: Yiyi doesn't blame her brother.
Zhang Yiyi's body also carried a pleasant fragrance; if Xiao Ruawen's was the subtle scent of jasmine, then Yiyi's was the heart-refreshing aroma of osmanthus.
Noticing her waist being embraced by Xu Qingfan, her cheeks flushed, her lips curled into a beautiful crescent, and her face radiated a happiness that only appeared during her most blissful moments.
The other four girls soon noticed their intimate behavior, but considering it was Zhang Yiyi's birthday, none of them spoke up.
Even the usually jealous Xia Xiaoxiao was exceptionally calm, hoping that on her own birthday, Xu Qingfan might hold her from behind in the same way.
She wasn't particular about the location; even if it was just on the rooftop terrace of Lianhua Courtyard, she would be perfectly content, provided it was just the two of them.
Lin Wanning's eyes were full of joy; she felt as if Xu Qingfan's embrace around Yiyi was also somehow around her.
[Tonight I'll also have to hug Yiyi like this, Brother Qingfan hugging Yiyi, Wanning also hugging Yiyi, rounding it all off, it's like Brother Qingfan hugging Wanning, hehe...]
Wu Lingyu, stirred by the scene, remembered the day Xu Qingfan had accompanied her back to the old house on her birthday.
[Brother Fan hugged me the same way... Brother Fan even said I'm the best, his favorite, and it's Yu... hehe... so warm and comfortable...]

Wu Lingyu closed her eyes, replaying every moment of that day, as if Xu Qingfan was holding her from behind right now.
As for Xiao Ruawen, Xu Qingfan's birthday gift for her was a new song recorded on an mp3 titled "Little Fortune," which she loved immensely.
"You're the luck I wished to keep, we once were close enough to touch against the entire world, the decision made for me, the rain you shared with me... Meeting you was so fortunate..."
She quietly sang the climax of the song, filling the small cabin with her beautiful voice.
[Meeting you was so fortunate.]
All five girls nodded in accord.
[Getting to know Brother Fan/Brother Qing Fan/Brother... stinky Xiao Fan, how could it not be fortunate?]
All five thought to themselves simultaneously.
Ten minutes passed, and the Ferris Wheel reached its highest point.
The Ferris Wheel legend ebbed in the minds of all five girls; it was just unfortunate that Xu Qingfan was only one person and couldn't kiss all five at the same time.
Zhang Yiyi felt that though she didn't get to kiss her brother at the highest point, their cinematic-like embrace was probably just as good as a kiss.
Thinking of movie plots, she was reminded of the film "Titanic," but that movie ended in tragedy, so Zhang Yiyi shook her head.
