Chapter 142: So Glad to Meet You! When in Doubt, Ask the Spring Breeze!

~7 min read 1,276 words

"Got it..." Su Yang's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Obviously, this is not baseless speculation.

He knows Xu Yutong must have meddled inside.

From her 180-degree shift in attitude, the clue can be seen.

Even though both parties know they're merely role‑playing, she can still display an unmasked affection.

This is abnormal.

"Alright, let's go."

Xu Yutong, coming out of the restroom, was radiant, perhaps because she refreshed her makeup, her face appeared slightly more rosy.

"Wait a moment."

As soon as the words ended, Xu Yutong saw a massive hand reaching toward her and instinctively drew back.

"Don't move."

Xu Yutong's heart pounded, and she blinked instinctively.

Su Yang took a fine soft hair from her Corner of Eye, chuckling, "Still so careless."

"I thought you were going to ruin my makeup," Xu Yutong said, her cheeks flushed.

Just now feeling Su Yang's Finger tip's slight touch, her face tingled, like being brushed by peacock feathers.

She originally thought he couldn't resist doing something, but it turned out it was merely because of an eye Eyelash.

Xu Yutong felt both relieved and a nameless loss.

"Let's go, we don't have much time left," Su Yang naturally took her hand.

Xu Yutong fell half a body length behind Su Yang, listening to his appraisal of the Fire pot they had just eaten, while watching his back Silhouette.

In the Brain, recalling the words he said before the Time Reversal—

"I will find my true love."

"I have never lied to you, whether in the past or now..."

At that moment, Xu Yutong looked toward Su Yang's tall Silhouette and couldn't help feeling dazed.

"Are what he said... all true?"

Xu Yutong felt some regret, if it weren't for the Innate Talent limitation.

She should have asked more, and should have probed the situation more finely.

Not like this, so ambiguous.

She hasn't yet asked clearly which aspect Su Yang likes about her.

"I think the fatty beef is a bit lacking, not fresh enough... the shrimp is quite tasty," Su Yang said.

After speaking for a while without a response, he turned his head.

He saw Xu Yutong staring straight at him, her gaze vacant.

Su Yang looked at her naive cute expression, shook his hand amusingly, "Wake up, it's daylight."

"Hmm... huh?" Xu Yutong came to herself, only to discover she was already at the lakeside.

Couples walked here in pairs, the dim streetlights made the asphalt road unusually bright.

The two still kept holding hands, as if it had become a habit.

Xu Yutong felt the warmth emanating from Su Yang's palm, her heart fluttered.

"Is the dating experience with me that bad? Vision Perception a look that wants to sleep," Su Yang teased.

"No, I was just thinking about something," Xu Yutong hurriedly explained.

"What were you thinking?" Su Yang asked with interest.

Xu Yutong seemed to have made a decision, just as she gathered courage to speak, a loud crash rang out.

"Whoosh... Boom!"

A brilliant firework rose and burst, turning the night sky golden.

Su Yang looked up and saw the scattered fireworks like a golden flower, wildly blooming.

"It's been a long time since I've seen fireworks," Su Yang sighed.

"Hmm." Xu Yutong's clenched pink fist slowly relaxed.

She had been a bit nervous, but at the instant she saw the fireworks, her worries and troubles instantly eased considerably.

She has already obtained verification; at least the First Place Partner Information does not match him.

Though she doesn't know whether later there are similar matches.

But as long as there is one mismatch, he is not her "Partner".

During the brief six-hour date, she intends to keep the final hour for herself.

"Bang bang..."

The fireworks kept blooming, like a kaleidoscope lighting the night sky.

"So beautiful..." Xu Yutong immersed herself in the scenery, her eyes shimmering with rippling hues.

Su Yang, Vision Perception her slightly open red lips and delighted cute face, whispered, "Indeed, truly beautiful..."

The two gazed at each other under the night sky, smiling gently.

The two hearts seemed to draw nearer at this moment, and their hands held tighter.

"Su Yang, I'm so glad to meet you!" Xu Yutong smiled brightly, borrowing the fireworks' brilliance to bravely speak the words she hadn't uttered before.

At this moment, she has displayed all her own beauty.

Su Yang looked at her dazzling eyes illuminated by the fireworks, slightly lost in thought.

In the Brain, the words "Stars" flashed.

"Why does it feel... familiar?"

In the Brain, that wall shows faint signs of loosening; he seems to have grasped something.

It's vague, but a firm voice in his heart tells him—

This is the answer!

"Is it intuition..." Su Yang murmurs to himself.

He turns his head to the sky, and a faint Smile curls at the Mouth corner.

Although he doesn't know why this impulse arises.

But he suddenly recalls the letter the male lead wrote at the end of the movie.

"Love Rises with the Wind" in five bold characters, interpreting his romance.

Su Yang rests his head on the gentle breeze from the Lake surface, gazing at the fireworks blooming, radiant like a song.

Suddenly he recalls that line—

When uncertain about matters, one may ask the spring wind.

His spring wind is the unwavering intuition.

From this thought onward, the lingering gloom that always hovered over his heart is swept away by light.

It seems it should have been so; he was always meant to trust his intuition.

Su Yang crumples the small receipt in his pocket into a ball and tosses it onto the roadside.

He no longer needs this thing now.

"I'm also very glad to have met you... Yu Tong," Su Yang says softly.

The two snuggle together, sitting on a stone bench by the Lake, experiencing the tender warmth of youthful years.

For Xu Yutong, this is the happiness she arrived late for.

For Su Yang, this is an alternative experience.

Twenty minutes later, the fireworks show ends.

The restored tranquil Park fills with warmth; Xu Yutong leans on Su Yang's Shoulder, her eyes revealing reluctance.

She wishes she could stay like this forever.

"If only it could stay like this forever," Xu Yutong can't help but say.

Su Yang, hearing this, wraps his arms around her Shoulder and gently pulls her closer, letting her rest more comfortably.

"There will be a chance."

Xu Yutong suddenly feels a slight sourness at the Nose tip, "Why couldn't you have been a bit braver back then?"

Su Yang is a little dazed.

Brave?

He ponders, was he not brave enough back then?

Carrying two such large boxes, his step was a courage that ordinary people could hardly ever reach in a lifetime.

Xu Yutong seems to be talking to herself: "Actually it's not entirely your fault; I am the one who should be brave."

A confession?

Su Yang probably caught the implication in her words.

"It's all my fault..."

Xu Yutong stands, spreads her arms, and with a sweet Smile says, "At the end of the date, let's have a hug."

Su Yang looks at her hopeful eyes, stands, and embraces her.

Xu Yutong Scent Perception his scent, feeling a tremendous sense of security.

She fears that after Su Yang leaves, she will never see him again.

Or perhaps she fears all this is a dream, unwilling to wake up.

Thus, she holds Su Yang tightly, gently saying, "Su Yang, I feel so dreamy; is all this really true?"

He detects Xu Yutong's reluctance, a hint of inscrutability flashing in his eyes,

"If you believe it's real, then it is real."
