Chapter 499: Qiao Mu Private High School

Bai Liu rejected everyone.

Hou Tong was really aggravated to the point of crying out this time, she didn't understand, "Why ah! You don't have a girlfriend and you'd rather eat alone than with others?"

"Being alone suits me better." Bai Liu headed out, his back paused for a moment, "When I'm alone, I have someone to keep me company."

Hou Tong didn't understand the meaning of these words, she watched Bai Liu's slim back in school uniform disappearing into the bustling people of Commercial Street, neon lights and shadows, her eyes filled with tears.

"Where is anyone ......" Hou Tong drawls, "not still alone?"

Bai Liu redeemed the vouchers for two large buckets of carbonated drinks, played with Spades from the beginning to the end of the shopping street, and in front of the staring eyes of all the shopkeepers and passers-by, Bai Liu played all the two-player modes by himself and won the biggest prize.

Then the prizes are casually sold on the side of the road, sold to the surrounding boys and girls who want it, take the money to continue to play, play until the shopkeeper cries for money to send Bai Liu away.

So play down, Bai Liu body money not reduce but increase, and when play to the end of the shopping street, the early lights, Bai Liu pocket a hundred dollars has become more than two hundred.

They stood side by side in the dark alleyway at the end of the shopping street, Bai Liu held up his drink and turned to Spades; "Anything else you want to play?"

"Now you can stop picking out what's on sale."

"That one." Spades held up his hand as he pointed in a certain direction, his tone insistent, "How much is that thing?"

Bai Liu followed Spades' line of sight and saw a huge Ferris wheel covered with a circle of colorful led bulbs that flashed and changed fonts.

And the font now reads [Ren Qiang (Love) Yan Xue Lifelong, Forever Together (Stars)]

Spades looked straight at Bai Liu: "I want that one."

Bai Liu: "......"

This is the Ferris wheel is the most popular amusement project in the whole commercial street, because it is very high and big, and in the riverside, turn to the top of the view is excellent, you can overlook almost half of the city's riverside view, a circle turn thirty minutes can pass the time, but also easy for some couples to do some more intimate things inside, and each Ferris wheel cabin turn to the top of the two minutes can also be based on the cabin of the customer's different requirements, to Flashing different lights.

The more popular prompts are what love you for a lifetime, with forever together, overnight wealth and so on and so forth, because the recent college entrance exams are coming, there are also a lot of families come to play, but also some of the gold list and so on the congratulatory words.

But this program is not discounted and is also expensive, Bai Liu is a hundred and fifty dollars a person.

Luckily, he and Spades had been playing a lot of games before and had swiped a lot of gifts for him, which had sold for almost exactly one hundred and fifty dollars.

If it were the usual Bai Liu, she would think that spending one hundred and fifty dollars on a thirty-minute Ferris wheel ride is a useless expenditure of self-emotional projection, some commercial shitty marketing trap, a very extravagant love toy.

But now ......

Spades looked up at the huge Ferris wheel, he held Bai Liu's hand tightly, the neon dappled light fell on his black eyes, he looked at the line of the lettering of [Together in life forever], looking intently and yearningly.

It's probably one of the few words this guy knows.

And I don't know who I met for.

Bai Liu withdrew his gaze, "Let's go."

"Go sit."

"Sure about being alone?" The owner of the Ferris Wheel looked at Bai Liu, who had come alone, with some surprise.

His program has a lot of girls and couples coming to sit alone, but few guys coming to sit alone.

"No?" Bai Liu asked back in a flat tone.

"Yes yes yes!" The boss nodded quickly as he tapped on the electronic screen and slid out some signs, "Pick the sign you want to light up as you turn to the highest point."

Bai Liu raises his hand and is about to select the slogan, but Spades is ahead of him and clicks on the other one.

"This one." Spades stares at the electronic screen, "Pick this one."

Bai Liu looked at the slogan Spades had chosen, and he paused.

Spades' choice is Bai Liu, who has achieved great success.

"Boss, wait a minute." Bai Liu glances over at Spades, "I'll think about what to choose."

"OK OK," the boss gave an OK sign, "take your time choosing, just come over before the next wave of machines."

Bai Liu pulled Spades into a corner, his arms folded over his chest, a small, thin smile tugging at the corners of his lips, "Why did you pick that one? Do you recognize what that means?"

"Recognize." Spades says, "Your school hangs out every day."

That's true, Qiao Mu private high school hangs slogans all over the school, and everyone around Bai Liu says it, so it's probably hard for Spades not to recognize it.

"So what do you mean by talking to me?" Bai Liu asked.

Spades paused for a moment, "That's what you've been doing the questions for, and everyone around you wants that."

"What they have, you must have."

"We only have enough money for one ride." Bai Liu's tone is light, "Are you sure you want to pick this one? If you pick this one, your name can't come up and you can't pick to be together forever."

He could tell that Spades would have preferred the Forever Together tagline; the guy had always prioritized what he wanted, and he didn't think Spades could resist the temptation to [Forever Together].

"Have you thought about it?" Bai Liu asks, "Which one?"

Spades stared at Bai Liu for a moment, then he let out an oh-so-slow bow of his head and spoke in a tone that wasn't at all hesitant, "The Golden List."

It was Bai Liu's turn to pause.

"You want me to go gold so badly?"

"No." Spades looked at Bai Liu, "It's that all those people have a lot of people who wish they were golden, and you have to be too."

Bai Liu was quiet.

He realized what Spades meant, that Spades didn't want him to be golden, Spades just wanted him to have people who genuinely wanted him to be golden - like himself.

"I see, then it's a golden name." Bai Liu turned around and headed over to the Ferris wheel, walking with a sudden pause, "Do you want to get your name with mine?"

Spades didn't hesitate: "Yes."

And so the Ferris wheel owner received the strangest tagline collage request of his life, and he looked at Bai Liu with a complicated look in his eyes as the pod turned to the top, and the tagline suddenly flashed up.

[Spades love Bai Liu, always a golden success, smooth sailing.]

Next to the dumbfounded onlookers, "Forever golden, what kind of slogan is this? Up went a schoolboy couple?!"

Boss: "......"

The end of the tour was a movie, they chose a very cold horror movie, in the whole movie theater, except for another sweet couple who left the theater with their arms around each other halfway through the movie, the only people left were Spades and Bai Liu, who were sitting in the best seat in the theater, and a small bucket of popcorn was placed in the middle of them.

Both were very quiet as they watched the movie.

The horror was like a walking light, reflected frame by frame in the two people's equally dark eyes, the movie's images of the protagonist screaming and running away in panic, and outside of the movie, the two hands placed under the seat gradually interlocked their fingers and clasped together.

Spades suddenly spoke with envy, "If only we were in this horror game."

Bai Liu holding hands: "......"

What's this brand new alien relationship idea?

Spades looked at the movie screen with one misplaced eye, his deep black pupils mismatched with the horrific images of the movie, his tone serious:

"There, I'll have everything for you."

From the cinema out, already almost nine o'clock, they followed the cinema's outside the display road out, all the way is all kinds of movie related peripheral stores, strange, weird, fancy, and a lot of horror movie equivalent peripheral.

Bai Liu can't take more than two steps without looking back to see where Spades has gone.

The man harbored a great wariness and curiosity around these horror-movie equivalents, and would always come over to look and walk around without the person.

Now Bai Liu turned back, Spades was gone again, he frowned for a while and finally saw Spades outside the window of a neighborhood store.

Spades laid his hands on the top of the window glass, his eyes staring straight up at something in the window, his body overflowing with a strong, wanting desire.

Bai Liu: ......

A sense of foreboding began to rise.

Bai Liu followed Spades' line of sight and his mind went blank for a moment.

The shopkeeper in the window was carrying an assortment of peripherals, one in particular stood out, a huge, long, skinny Ghostbusters doll suit, which was obviously handmade, and looked rough, with a lot of rough lines showing, but that made it particularly creepy instead, with the face not sewn on but a hollow hole showing, looking like a cheap, half-built piece of work.

Bai Liu's heart suddenly beat violently and furiously the moment he saw the doll's costume, his eyes were a little out of focus, and there was only one completely uncontrollable thought in his mind--

--This is his stuff.

[He's going to get it back.]

The clerk patted the doll's clothing down with a pat of dust, placed it on a wooden hanger, and turned to close the door behind him.

Without any hesitation Bai Liu pushed the door and walked in, he inquired single-handedly, "Hello, may I ask the price of this doll suit?"

"This one?" The clerk turned her head, "This one might be expensive."

"This dress was plucked from our boss from an orphanage that had an accident, and it was said to be a collection, not for sale, but today I don't know what's going on, and suddenly said that he's going to prepare for a career in perfumery, and that instead of a collection, he's going to give out the dress, and asked me to put it here."

"Our boss is a foreigner, and he asks high prices for collections." The clerk couldn't help but advise, "You're a student, right? It's better to advise you not to enter this pit."

Bai Liu looked straight at the clerk, "Can you tell me the price?"

The clerk flipped through the listing, then looked up, "Twenty thousand."

Bai Liu's chest rose and fell for a moment as he gradually calmed down, said thank you, and walked out.

He took Spades' hand and walked back down the road, his head down so you couldn't see his expression, just his hand clenched tightly.

Twenty thousand ...... is too expensive.

Spades suddenly said, "I want that."

Bai Liu took a deep breath and was just about to say I can't afford it, when he saw Spades raise his hand and point to a small cooler with [ON SALE] written on the side.

"I want ice cream." Spades looks at him and inquires, "Can I have discounted ice cream?"

A rampant desire in Bai Liu's mind subsided, and he took a breath and said, "Yes."

The small freezers are in the form of unmanned vending and have all kinds of sorbets in them.

Spades, lying on his back, chooses carefully, and then suddenly speaks up and asks, "What's your favorite kind of food?"

Bai Liu was quiet for a long time and said, "Strawberry-flavored Cupido."

"Then I'll have this." Spades said.

Bai Liu looks around the room, "No more of this flavor, vanilla for dinner?"

Spades turns depressing to the naked eye: "No more ......"

The corner of Bai Liu's mouth quirked, "Why does it have to be my favorite flavor?"

Spades lowered his head as he looked at Bai Liu and said in a calm tone, "If I eat your favorite flavor, I'll become your favorite flavor as well, and you'll probably like me a little bit more as well."

"Your time alone is coming to an end and I'm leaving, Bai Liu, before I leave, can you tell me you like me?"

The light from the freezer flickered twice, went out, and a dark silence fell between Bai Liu and Spades.

Bai Liu, the slightest hint of a smile on his face slowly disappeared as he said coldly:

"Don't."

"I hate you, Spades."
