Chu Zihang sat in the right seat of the cabin, quietly looking at the rising view outside the window. Everything on the ground was quickly moving away. The light, noise, temperature, and wind from the lake blew in through the gap in the cabin window, and soon it dropped.

The heat and boredom before.

Xia Mi sat across from her, a lock of wet and smooth forehead hair dangling in front of her eyes. She looked at Chu Zihang in front of her in confusion.

No one expected that things would develop to this point. They were locked in the same cabin of the Ferris wheel when they were supposed to separate. This big guy was leading them to a higher place.

The Ferris wheel keeps going up, and the view below keeps looking upward. If the view does not belong to a group of Chicago police officers who have belatedly arrived to guard the entrance and exit of the Ferris wheel, this picture will be even more beautiful.

The neon light of the lanterns hanging outside the cabin would not make the inside of the cabin look too dark. Xia Mi hesitated for a while and was about to say sorry, but Chu Zihang made a move first. He took a packet from his pocket.

He took out the tissue and handed it to Xia Mi.

"Oh oh oh, thank you, senior brother." Xia Mi was a little surprised by Chu Zihang's sudden thoughtfulness. He pulled out two paper towels and wiped the still wet areas on his body, "Sorry, I seem to be holding back."

"It's not time to talk about this yet, but we can still make amends." Chu Zihang said, "Lu Mingfei, are you still in the channel?"

"I'm here, I've always been here, what happened over there? Why was it so noisy just now?" Lu Mingfei's voice sounded in the public channel of the earphones.

"We need your help here." Chu Zihang said concisely, "Xia Mi and I are trapped on the Ferris wheel. I need you to go to the power distribution room of the amusement park and turn off the main switch."

"What trouble are you in?" Lu Mingfei was surprised. He didn't expect that Chu Zihang, an embryo-killer, could be forced into a skyscraper in Chicago. He was usually the one who forced others into desperation.

"People from the Chicago Police Department and many onlookers can only stay away temporarily. They are now waiting under the Ferris wheel." Chu Zihang took a look at the scene below from the passenger cabin near the Ferris wheel. Several police officers in police uniforms were waiting.

After evacuating the crowd and setting up a cordon, the young men who were held down by Chu Zihang with knives were also handcuffed to the railings and watched over.

"Let me go, why did you provoke the police? What do you need me to do?"

"Go to the power distribution room. There is a gray house walking north through the green garden. There is security in front. The back door has been opened. You can sneak in directly and turn off the main switch. We will continue to complete the task and then sneak out of the Ferris wheel while it is dark.

Climb up and down.”

"Is it too late? Don't let me turn around and get caught before I get there." Lu Mingfei asked.

"The Fireworks Ferris Wheel is different from other Ferris wheels. Once started, it will turn counterclockwise three times, and the cabin will open after three turns." Chu Zihang said, "Each circle lasts two minutes, and now we have five minutes.

time."

"I've already seen the green garden." Lu Mingfei's voice sounded a little breathy when he spoke. It should be that Chu Zihang was already running quickly when he spoke.

"Leave it to you." Chu Zihang stopped talking after saying this.

The next step is to wait.

The Ferris wheel was still spinning quietly, and it was almost reaching the top of the first circle. Xia Mi, who was sitting opposite, wiped off the water stains on his body. He balled up the toilet paper and put it in his pocket, and looked up at Chu Zi.

Hang, realizing that the other party was not looking at him, he whispered: "Senior brother, are you angry?"

"No." Chu Zihang looked out the window of the Ferris wheel.

"..." Xia Mi didn't know what to say, and turned his attention to the window embarrassedly.

The cabin swayed upwards, the noise on the ground became farther and farther away, and the cabin became quieter and quieter.

Both of them were fermenting in silence. This situation and environment were too suitable for random thoughts. Their thoughts and ideas kept rising and exploded the moment they surfaced.

Suddenly, for a moment, one of the two people inexplicably remembered that in the past, his classmates would always have a special reaction when talking about the Ferris wheel, as if this facility was independent and had a special status in the amusement park.

, he didn't understand it very well at that time, but now he seems to understand it vaguely.

The Fireworks Ferris Wheel on the lakeside of Navy Pier is not a giant Ferris wheel like the "London Eye", so its cabins are not too spacious, and they are on a very fine line between being crowded but not crowded, and being comfortable but not satisfactory.

Guests sitting on the skyscraper sit on the left and right seats, and their knees are only a few centimeters apart from touching each other. In this small space, they are not allowed to have their own comfort zone, and even their eyes can hardly be avoided.

When you look out the window, you will inevitably see the person opposite you from the corner of your eye.

Her breathing rate, the curling of her fingers, the fluttering of her eyelashes, all the tiny movements can be caught in the eyes, and you can even smell the scent of her body that you can't usually smell, which is sweet and has a hint of intoxicating temperature.

Coke flavor.

This was the smell that lingered in front of Chu Zihang's nose. The entire cabin was filled with the smell of cola. There was no doubt that Xia Mi was the source of the smell.

Xia Mi himself seemed to realize that his 'fragrant' smell was too strong, and he played with the wet lock of hair in embarrassment, his eyes averted.

"Xia Mi." Chu Zihang called her name, breaking the silence that would have become awkward if it continued.

"I'm here." Xia Mi perked up and his eyes met Chu Zihang's in front of him.

"Why don't you hide away?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Huh?" Xia Mi was startled.

Chu Zihang silently looked at the water marks on her body.

"Ah, there was someone behind me at that time, and I didn't want to cause more trouble." Xia Mi replied.

"The highest priority for the Executive Department Commissioner when performing field tasks is to protect his own life." Chu Zihang said, "This time it was Coca-Cola, but it may not be the case next time. There is always a better way to deal with it."

Xia Mi stared at Chu Zihang without answering. It wasn't until Chu Zihang felt that he had said something wrong and recited the regulations of the executive department silently again that the girl opposite sighed, "I know, senior brother, I'm sorry.

I made a mistake this time."

"It's not a mistake. It's not wrong to choose to calm things down and control the situation at the first time. I just want to tell you that the next time you encounter a similar thing, you can think more about whether there are other better solutions." Chu Zihang shook his head and said.

"What would you do if it were you, senior brother?"

"Without alerting others, use force to deter the conflict before it escalates further," Chu Zihang said.

"Will you take action directly?"

"There is an easier way." Chu Zihang gently lifted his shirt with his left hand, revealing the handle of the PM pistol fastened to his waist.

"Deterrence by force." Xia Mi immediately understood what Chu Zihang meant.

Sometimes a simple and hidden action can solve many conflicts.

"Protect yourself. The mission is indeed important, but there is no need to think about sacrificing for the mission all the time." Chu Zihang nodded and said.

"Sacrificing something...is it too much? I just got splashed with coke."

"You can see the big from the small." Chu Zihang looked directly at Xia Mi and said, "In Kassel College, during the specialist assessment of the Executive Department, the examiner will use tests from various angles to judge a student's comprehensive quality, including

Emergency response, psychological hazards, etc. If this is an assessment, your judgment and reaction will undoubtedly be unqualified, and the examiner will think that you have a tendency to self-destruction and cowardice."

"I thought that at least I would get a good evaluation of 'forbearance'." Xia Mi opened his eyes and felt a little annoyed, "Have you instructors never heard the saying that a little patience will lead to a big plan?"

"But can you imagine Lin Nian having coke thrown on his face?" Chu Zihang said.

Xia Mi paused for a moment, then shook her head. After interacting with Lin Nian in the past few days, she really couldn't imagine Lin Nian looking as embarrassed as herself.

"I'm not completely denying the practice of forbearance and retreat, but I want you to know that in most cases, 'forbearance' is linked to 'incompetence.'" Chu Zihang said softly, "A lot of times it's just because I can't find a better place.

They try to solve the dilemma with a better way and then turn around and escape, but this will only make things worse."

Xia Mi still wanted to defend herself, but she suddenly stopped talking when she saw some emotions in Chu Zihang's lowered eyes.

The cabin was quiet for a while, and the Ferris wheel began to make its second revolution.

"Senior brother, you said that I like to regress...maybe it has something to do with my past habits." Xia Mi said.

"Habit?" Chu Zihang raised his head and asked.

"I've always been used to minimizing big things and taking a step back to see the world." Xia Mi turned his head and looked out the window at the black Lake Michigan in the distance. "My mother often taught me that it doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss. Don't worry too much. Just get by.

."

"I thought you were very popular at home."

"Why?" Xia Mi asked.

Chu Zihang didn't know how to answer. He didn't have any reason. He just thought she was the type of little princess, a bit like Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang. Which parent would not love a girl like this? She was born to be proudly displayed by her parents.

Others see it, right? The smile on his face looks like it can bring out sunshine.

"But it's not a good practice."

"It's not true for other people, but it's true for me." Xia Mi said, "Do you still remember my brother?"

"Xiawang, we should still keep him in the hotel room to rest."

"What do you think of my brother?" Xia Mi asked.

Chu Zihang didn't speak for a while. He looked at Xia Mi, wondering in what aspect the girl's "how" she asked him was an evaluation of the boy with blue eyes.

Seeing that Chu Zihang didn't answer, Xia Mi just smiled: "Do you think my brother is like a puppy? The kind that is particularly clingy?"

"Some." Chu Zihang replied honestly.

"We are twins." Xia Mi said, "He and I both stayed in my mother's belly for ten months. He was born six hours earlier than me. By the time I was born, my mother may have run out of strength and her fertility was too weak.

, so it was very difficult to give birth to me. It took me a long time to give birth to me. During this time, the nurse forgot to take care of my brother and left him suffocated for half an hour. When I found out, it was already too late."

"Dissociative disorder." Chu Zihang still remembered Xia Mi saying the name of the disease, "Is there no way to treat it?"

"It cannot be treated." Xia Mi said, "This is one of the sequelae after brain damage. Even if he did not have this disease, he might be a dementia child, but the doctor said that fortunately this disease allowed him to retain part of his intelligence.

When he is not sick, he will be very noisy, like to tear down the house and take apart toys, which is as scary as a manic depressive. When the disease attacks, he will calm down, his IQ and cognitive ability will become lower, as if he has been cut off.

The frontal lobe is just as stupid."

Chu Zihang was silent.

"My mother said I owe this to my brother." Xia Mi looked at the night view outside the window. "I have had good grades and good sports since I was a child. I was even the captain of the high school cheerleading team. But even so, I am still the one at home.

My brother is taken care of a lot more. Because they think that without me, my brother might be as good as me, or even better than me. I can only be a cheerleader, and he can go to the Olympics and win gold medals... But I

My brother's opportunity was taken away. Among the twins, I am the only one with a normal brain, so I owe this to my brother."

"So you hate your brother?"

"No, I don't hate him." Xia Mi lowered his head and played with his hands. "Brother, he used to listen to me the most. Maybe it was because we stayed in the same belly for ten months, so he liked me very much. I said

Whatever happens is what it is. One time he got into a fight with five or six boys, and the reason was very stupid, because one of the boys told everyone that I was his girlfriend. After hearing this, my brother got very angry and fought with him, punching his front teeth.

Lost it."
