Sky Curtain: My Happy Daily Life Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 20 Ferris Wheel, what a huge circle!

"I'm ready!" Little Sizi gripped Lu Chen's hand tightly, her eyes sparkling as she stared out the window. The Ferris wheel slowly turned, and the little house rose steadily. The little guy exclaimed "Wow!"

"Honey! We're flying high!" She pressed her face against the glass, her little nose flattened. "The people down there have all shrunk! Like ants!"

Lu Chen smiled and hugged her: "Are you scared?"

"No way!" Little Si shook her head, her ponytail swinging back and forth. "It's so much fun! It feels like sitting on a giant bird's back!"

Looking at the little princess's flattened braids, Lu Chen thought he should learn how to braid hair when he got back. Such a cute little princess should look beautiful every day!

As the Ferris wheel rose higher and higher, the entire children's playground came into view.

The rainbow archway resembles a curved bridge, with the lush green bamboo-covered Xiangjiang Academy peeking out in the distance, and further still, the shimmering surface of the river.

"Come quick, buddy! There's a really tall fountain there! And a bridge that sways!" Little Sizi poked at the glass with her finger, excitedly planning, "We're going to go there again next time!"

"Okay, let's all take Sizi to play." Lu Chen replied with a smile.

Thanks to Xiao Sizi, Lu Chen was visiting a children's amusement park for the first time, and it was also his first time riding a Ferris wheel. He felt like he had become a child again.

Although their family has some money and is somewhat well-known in the area, their parents are both from the countryside and are quite traditional, with lifestyles no different from those of ordinary villagers.

Back in the early 2000s, his family bought two apartments in the county town, but they still lived in the village, only now they had built a two-story house.

His mother was still growing vegetables in the yard, while his father, together with several villagers, contracted several thousand acres of land in the village.

His parents couldn't leave the land they loved so deeply.

Lu Chen's life is completely different from his parents'!

Outside the canopy, the streets were practically deserted.

People gathered in their homes, under trees, on eaves, in fields... all looking up at the sky at the large circle slowly rising into the air.

Li Tai forgot to eat the mutton sandwich he was holding.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the Ferris wheel and chuckled foolishly.

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun felt a little nervous, but also somewhat happy.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the carpenter, stopped using his wood-planing tools. This woodworking enthusiast was thinking about whether he could design a ball-driven device with gears to make a small rotating wheel.

The Ferris wheel turned slowly, and the little girl clung to the glass window, her head turning left and right as the view rose, her eyes sparkling as if they held stars.

"Honey! It's getting higher and higher! The drops at the bottom are getting smaller! Like little ants!" She excitedly patted the glass, her little feet kicking happily on the chair.

Lu Chen smiled and held her small hand: "Don't hit it too hard, the glass will hurt."

When they reached the highest point, Little Si suddenly covered his mouth, his eyes wide with surprise: "Wow! Look! There's a really, really long river over there! And there are little boats on the river! Floating like leaves!"

The little guy pointed to the Xiangjiang River in the distance, his voice full of surprise.

Lu Chen looked in the direction she pointed. The river was sparkling, and the cruise ships were slowly gliding by. The willows on the bank hung down their green tendrils, just like a scene from a painting.

When we reached the highest point, the little one suddenly quieted down and looked at the clouds on the horizon: "Brother, don't the clouds look like cotton candy? They're sweet and soft."

"Yes." Lu Chen rubbed her head. "When we go downstairs later, your brother will buy cotton candy for Si Zi."

"Really?" Little Si turned her head, her eyes curving into crescents. "My buddy is the best!"

At this moment, under the sky...

The Qin Imperial Palace.

Ying Zheng clapped his hands: "A Ferris wheel! How can this thing be so stable? If it were installed in the mountains, wouldn't building the Great Wall be effortless for me! Order the craftsmen to research and develop one!"

Although Li Shimin kept a stern face, curiosity was evident in his eyes: "This item would be quite good if used for observing the enemy."

Inside the Daming Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang chewed on a freshly filled meat and vegetable pancake, mumbling, "This Ferris wheel looks intimidating, but if we could let the common people ride it and collect a few copper coins, wouldn't that be wonderful? We could make money and have fun at the same time!"

Zhu Biao, standing nearby, couldn't help but chuckle: "Father, perhaps we should have the Ministry of Works study this first..."

Genghis Khan, the great conqueror, was filled with surging emotions. He sighed, "In my entire life, I have never been to Jiangnan. I never knew that the beauty of Jiangnan was a thousand times more beautiful than any painting. Temujin wishes he could borrow another five hundred years from the Eternal Heaven to help him conquer this beautiful Jiangnan and unify the land!"

Muqali was the first to clasp his hands in a fist salute: "Your subject is willing to follow the Great Khan to the death!"

The other generals were all filled with ambition:

"The Great Khan's iron cavalry will surely sweep across the vast land!"

"The Great Khan will surely unify the Central Plains!"

"The Great Khan is invincible!"

As the Ferris wheel slowly descended, Little Sizi, still wanting more, asked, "Brother, can we ride it one more time?"

"Let's play something else today, and come back to sit next time, okay?" Lu Chen led her out of the small house.

"Mmm!" The little guy nodded vigorously, then pointed to the fragrant smell wafting from afar, "Let's go get some cotton candy now!"

The two walked hand in hand toward the food stall.

Ahead, there was a long line of food carts, each like a capsule with a small window inside.

They sell all sorts of things inside.

Little Sizi ran towards the giant cotton candy stuck in the window.

These colorful cotton candies are so cute! There are rabbits and bears with big ears, some look like flowers, some like small trees, and some are big round balls.

"Brother, I want a teddy bear!"

"Okay!" Lu Chen bought cotton candy for himself and the little guy.

The brother and sister sat on a bench, resting and eating cotton candy.

Little Sizi held the cotton candy, feeling it was as light as a cloud, almost like nothing at all.

She really couldn't bear to eat it, but after seeing her brother take a bite, she licked her lips and asked, "Brother, is it good?"

Lu Chen exclaimed enthusiastically, "Delicious! So sweet!"

He kept shaking his head after he finished speaking.

Little Sizi couldn't resist taking a bite, her eyes immediately narrowing: "Sweet! This is the sweetest thing ever! Soft! Like white glutinous rice! Like cattail fluff!"

The little guy's bite had serious consequences; a large hole appeared in the bear's head, and a handful of light green "whiskers" stuck to its mouth.

Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Brother, what are you laughing at?" Little Sizi was completely confused.

Click! Lu Chen took a picture of Xiao Sizi and showed it to her.

"Wow! So ugly!" Little Si pouted, the little guy unhappily pulling off the "whiskers" from his mouth and stuffing them back in.

"Hey! My little bear is gone! It's not here!" Little Sizi's eyes fell on the misshapen little bear.

"Oh, this? Brother, how about you take pictures of all the cotton candies on the cotton candy cart later, and we can look at them on our phones?"

"Okay! But," the little guy felt his hands were sticky, "My little hands are sticky, and my face is sticky too."

"Brother will wipe you clean. Then, after we finish eating, we'll go wash our hands. There's a restroom over there," Lu Chen pointed ahead.

"Okay~~" The little guy ate with peace of mind.
