The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

"Jiang Chuan, there's no need for that."

Li Yi gently pushed Jiang Chuan away. When the two of them were alone together, Li Yi was still a little shy and even couldn't lift her head.

Whether it was the hazy intoxication from the wine, or my personal feelings for Jiang Chuan...

like……

If it weren't for today, I wouldn't have seen Jiang Chuan for a long time.

Li Yi couldn't help but look up at Jiang Chuan, and was momentarily stunned.

To say that I don't like Jiang Chuan?

If she asked herself honestly, Li Yi did have some feelings for him, but what kind of feelings were they based on?

Li Yi didn't know, wasn't sure, and even found it hard to believe.

Within the organization, Jiang Chuan was the center of attention; it seemed that anything could be easily resolved with his presence.

But I'm so ordinary, will Jiang Chuan like me?

Li Yi was unsure, so she dared not reveal her true feelings.

As long as there is news about Jiang Chuan, Li Yi will still keep a close eye on it silently, but without revealing her thoughts.

Perhaps it was the darkness of night or the effects of alcohol, but as Jiang Chuan looked at Li Yi's rosy cheeks, he felt a surge of impulse.

Jiang Chuan lowered his head and gently pecked Li Yi on the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Chuan's actions were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Li Yi's eyes widened suddenly, and the blush on her cheeks became even more pronounced.

It was as if the effects of alcohol had deepened, or perhaps it was a release of inner emotions.

At that moment, her mind went completely blank, and the sound of her heart pounding in her ears like a drumbeat, almost drowning out all the noise around her.

"Jiang...Chuan?"

Li Yi's voice was as soft as a whisper, filled with disbelief and a slight tremor.

Jiang Chuan's body stiffened for a moment, then a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a firmness.

He gently placed his hand on Li Yi's shoulder and said softly but with a hint of hesitation, "I'm sorry, I... I might have lost control a little."

"You drank too much..."

"sorry."

The surrounding noise seemed to come to an abrupt halt at that moment.

Everyone stared in stunned silence at the scene.

Wu Zhen, in particular, had his mouth agape in a large "O" shape.

A complex emotion flickered in Zhong Huahua's eyes, but it quickly turned into surprise.

Shen Jing had a smug look on his face, as if he knew this would happen, as if everything was within his expectations!
How could I not know my own buddies?
Normally, they would never make a move, but once they did, they would definitely win!
"Wow!"

Wu Zhen was the first to break the silence, his voice a mixture of shock and a hint of mockery.

Are you two... publicly displaying your affection?

Zhong Huahua gently pushed Wu Zhen, "Your little mouth can only talk so much."

Tang Songming suppressed a laugh, then shook his head seriously and said, "When feelings lead to action, that's how it should be."

As the ancients said, "A thousand cups of wine are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend; when feelings are deep, they naturally become strong!"

"Alright, alright, our great Tang scholar is starting to say things I don't understand again."

Wu Zhen shook his head, raised his wine glass, and said, "Come, let's drink to Jiang Chuan's love!"

Jiang Chuan scratched his head awkwardly. What's done is done, it's definitely happened, but he didn't seem to have tasted Li Yi's kiss at all.

That was my first kiss...

Taking advantage of my drunken state, I gave it directly to Li Yi today.

He looked at Li Yi, his eyes filled with questioning and unease.

He didn't understand what Li Yi was thinking. Maybe she liked him too? But she was too shy to say it?

Although Li Yi's heart was in turmoil, she still tried to remain calm in front of everyone and replied softly, "It's nothing, it's all the fault of this wine, it's too strong."

"Hahaha! Strong liquor shouldn't be blamed for this!"

Before long, the two returned to the dining table, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat strange.

"So, what's your relationship now?"

"Could it be that you're still good friends?"

Wu Zhen's face is now as red as a monkey's bottom, and his mouth has started to be a bit unrestrained, but fortunately, he's always been like this, so no one cares too much now.

However, Li Yi's small hands were clenched tightly, her heart pounding...

What is my relationship with Jiang Chuan now?

It was just a tiny kiss... but it was still my first kiss!

Are they good friends or lovers?

Seeing this, Jiang Chuan gave Li Yi a questioning look and gently whispered in her ear.

"Honestly, do you like me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yi blushed instantly, her entire face turning bright red.

Do I like him?

How should I tell him I like him? What if he doesn't like me back?

The next second, Jiang Chuan said again, "I like you."

Li Yi was stunned. Jiang Chuan liked her...

I've liked Jiang Chuan for a long time too.

Jiang Chuan's words were like a bomb, exploding instantly on the table. The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.

Li Yi's face turned as red as a ripe apple...

"I……"

Li Yi wanted to say something, but found her throat dry, and her voice stuck in her throat, turning into only a soft murmur.

Jiang Chuan sensed Li Yi's nervousness and gently squeezed her hand, which seemed to give Li Yi strength and reassurance.

"Alright, Wu Zhen, your question has been answered."

Jiang Chuan smiled and winked at Wu Zhen, a rare occurrence for him.

Wu Zhen reacted, paused for a moment, and then burst into laughter, his voice full of joy and teasing.

"Hey Jiang Chuan, you've finally figured it out! Congratulations! Remember to treat us to a meal sometime!"

Zhong Huahua smiled along, but a hint of disappointment flickered in her eyes before quickly transforming into a look of blessing. "Yes, Jiang Chuan, Li Yi is a good girl. You should cherish her. Congratulations to you both!"

Tang Songming then came to his senses, stood up solemnly, and raised a cup of wine.

"Although I have not experienced the joys and sorrows of love, countless writers and poets throughout history have told us that true love is worth all the waiting and courage."

"Come on, let's toast to this unexpected love, to Jiang Chuan and Li Yi!"

Shen Jing then looked at Li Yi and said, "Our leading lady hasn't even said whether she agrees or not yet, what are you all doing keeping going on and on like this!"

"Right, will our leading lady agree?" the crowd then egged on.

Li Yi blushed, then nodded, "I do."

"Oh~"

There seemed to be tears welling up in Shen Jing's eyes...

It seemed that only at this moment did my brother truly grow up.

"Kiss me, kiss me!"

"What was that secret kiss just now? This time we all have to see it!"

Wu Zhen caught up with the master of ceremonies; he was just short of changing into a master of ceremonies' outfit on the spot and officiating the wedding.

Jiang Chuan glanced at Li Yi's flushed face, and emboldened by the alcohol, kissed her without hesitation.

"Oh my, I'm so jealous!" Wu Zhen said with a jealous look on his face.

Both of them were a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Wu Zhen took out his phone and looked at the Ugly Group.

"Hey, a new haunted house just opened here, wanna go check it out?"

Wu Zhen pointed to the phone screen; the picture of the haunted house was still quite creepy.

Zhong Huahua glanced at it and immediately covered her nose in disgust. "Damn, what is this thing? This person's intestines are sticking out."

"That's more exciting!"

"Nowadays, haunted houses are all about realism and horror; the old kind is no longer popular!"

Wu Zhen said meaningfully, "No, you're just cowards!"

Zhong Huahua immediately objected, "I'm not even afraid of strange beasts, why would I be afraid of this haunted house? This haunted house is obviously fake!"

"Let's go! Let's go!"

"Haunted house..."

Li Yi's voice trembled slightly. Jiang Chuan, who was beside her, looked at her and said, "What's wrong? Are you scared? If you're scared, we won't go."

Li Yi shook her head and gripped Jiang Chuan's hand even tighter.

"Don't be afraid, with you by my side, I have nothing to fear."

When Li Yi was a child, she was scared by horror movies... and she has some trauma, so she is now conflicted about whether to go or not.

But now that Jiang Chuan is here, she naturally has to go.

The group headed straight for Qing City's largest amusement park.

"Actually, most of the equipment is now shut down, only the haunted house is still running, which is also one of the most popular attractions at Happy Valley."

Wu Zhen kept talking about it on the way, but thankfully, everyone got used to it.

Wu Zhen seems to have always been like this: somewhat oblivious and talkative.

These people have all at least reached the threshold of the Yellow Rank, so their walking speed is several times faster than that of ordinary people.

To others, these people seemed like ghosts; although they walked on two legs, there was something inexplicable about them.

"No, look, don't those people walk like they're flying?"

On the street corner, a boy wearing glasses nudged the girl next to him.

"What? Don't talk nonsense, let me see."

The girl didn't seem to care at first, but the next second she screamed, "Holy crap, you're kidding me, it's really true!"

"Is it because they are stronger? Didn't the organization say before that once you reach the Yellow Rank or above, you can move like the wind?"

"That seems to be true. This is the first time I've seen someone this strong in Qing City. I'm only a Level 3 A..."

The girl pouted, and the boy was a little embarrassed. "I will become stronger. Although I am currently at the highest rank, I am confident that I will be able to surpass Jiang Chuan and become the pride of humanity!"

"You want to surpass Jiang Chuan? Humph, Jiang Chuan is said to be at the Xuan rank now, he's not even in the same league as us."

The man thought for a moment, then said, "You should still have wishes, what if they come true?"

……

Jiang Chuan suddenly turned around and looked around.

Li Yi noticed that Jiang Chuan was acting strangely, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

"I feel like someone is calling me..."

Jiang Chuan was extremely perceptive. It was so late, and there were hardly any people on the streets. Who would call him? Maybe he was hallucinating...

"It's alright, it's alright, let's keep going."

Soon, the group arrived at Happy Valley.

The neon lights of Happy Valley shimmered in the night, resembling a castle in a fairy tale world. Even late at night, the place remained bustling with activity.

Because it was the weekend, the crowds were bustling, and laughter and screams mingled together, adding a touch of liveliness and energy to this joyful place.

The various amusement facilities are brightly lit, and even in the deep of night, they continue to spin and flip tirelessly, attracting a constant stream of tourists to stop and try them out.

"Happy Valley is really lively on weekends, even at night there are so many people." Wu Zhen looked around, his usual playful expression on his face.

The group weaved through the crowd, their eyes drawn to the towering roller coasters.

The massive steel structure, like a winding, coiling dragon, stretched across the sky. Each dive and loop was accompanied by screams from the passengers, inspiring both fear and a sense of adventure.

"How about we go ride the roller coaster?" Zhong Huahua suggested.

Jiang Chuan looked at Li Yi, whose face showed a hint of hesitation, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

"Okay, let's go together!" Li Yi tightened her grip on Jiang Chuan's hand, as if to encourage herself.

As the group slowly moved forward, the two men's feelings gradually became complicated.

For Jiang Chuan, this roller coaster was like a child's toy. Back when he piloted a mecha in the air, wasn't that a hundred times more terrifying than this thing in front of him?
However, now that Li Yi is around, I still have to pretend to be a little scared.

Li Yi's heart raced; she was both excited and afraid. The unknown fear mixed with her trust in Jiang Chuan made this experience exceptionally different.

"Yiyi, don't be afraid, I'm here." Jiang Chuan whispered gently, his eyes firm.

"Yes, I believe you," Li Yi replied softly, a smile playing on her lips and a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

Finally, it was their turn. The five of them sat on the roller coaster. As the seatbelts snapped shut, everyone involuntarily took a deep breath, their tense yet expectant emotions reaching their peak.

The roller coaster began to slowly ascend, and as the height increased, the view gradually opened up, revealing the dazzling night view of the entire Happy Valley.

But this tranquility was soon shattered. With a near-vertical descent, the speed suddenly increased, and all that could be heard was the whistling wind and the screams of the passengers.

Li Yi instinctively closed her eyes and gripped Jiang Chuan's hand tightly. The feeling of weightlessness made her scream, but soon she felt Jiang Chuan's hand return the grip warmly and firmly, as if silently conveying, "I'm here."

Jiang Chuan, though seemingly calm on the surface, is also experiencing an adventure in his heart.

He cherishes every moment he spends with Li Yi.

So this is what it feels like to be in love...

No wonder everyone likes to be in a relationship.

As the roller coaster flipped and surged repeatedly, it finally slowly drove into the finish line, and everyone's emotions calmed down.

When they unbuckled their seatbelts and smiled at each other, their smiles reflected both the pride of completing the challenge and a deeper understanding between them.

"Next time there's an opportunity like this, let's come together again," Jiang Chuan said softly to Li Yi, his voice full of tenderness. (End of Chapter)
