A fat man who was reborn from the dead? He transforms into a perfect male god in a week.

In less than twenty minutes, the two reached the top of the mountain.

At the top of Phoenix Mountain, in front of the gate of Fengyan Ancient Temple.

Jiang Chen put Tang Ruoxi down: "We're here."

Tang Ruoxi's legs were still a little weak as soon as her feet touched the ground, and she subconsciously grabbed Jiang Chen's arm.

"Thank you..." she said softly.

"Don't mention it." Jiang Chen ruffled her hair.

Just then, a bus screeched to a halt beside them.

The train doors opened, and tourists poured out.

Two girls stood out in the crowd.

"Yaoyao, thank goodness there was a ride, otherwise I would have been exhausted climbing up!" Zhao Jiajia exclaimed as she got off the bus. "Although the fare was a bit expensive, it was worth it!"

Su Qingyao didn't speak, but just frowned as she looked at the crowded people.

She wore a white dress and light makeup today, intending to look beautiful while offering incense and making a wish.

But seeing so many people now, my mood has suddenly soured.

"Look over there," Zhao Jiajia suddenly pointed to a spot not far away, "that young couple actually walked up here, and the girl even had the boy carry her... How embarrassing!"

Su Qingyao looked in the direction she pointed.

Then, she froze.

Zhao Jiajia was also stunned.

"Holy crap?!" Zhao Jiajia's eyes widened. "That...that's Jiang Chen and Tang Ruoxi, isn't it?"

Su Qingyao's face turned pale instantly.

She watched Jiang Chen bend down to put Tang Ruoxi down, watched Tang Ruoxi blush and hold onto Jiang Chen's arm, watched Jiang Chen smiling as he ruffled Tang Ruoxi's hair...

It felt like something had punched me hard in the chest, making me feel suffocated.

"What incredible luck!" Zhao Jiajia was still in shock. "We bumped into each other on the shopping street yesterday, and now we're running into each other again at Phoenix Mountain? Are they... really together?"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Su Qingyao, only to find that her best friend's face was frighteningly pale.

"Yaoyao, are you alright?" Zhao Jiajia asked softly.

Su Qingyao didn't speak, but stared intently at Jiang Chen and Tang Ruoxi.

"But then again!"

Zhao Jiajia looked over there again, her tone filled with envy, "Jiang Chen is so manly now... He actually managed to carry Tang Ruoxi up there, his stamina, his boyfriend-like strength..."

"How wonderful it would be if I had a boyfriend like that, who would carry me up the mountain!"

"Isn't this much more romantic than taking a bus up the mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyao dug her nails into her palms.

"Let's go." She suddenly turned around.

"Huh?" Zhao Jiajia was confused. "Go? Where to? Aren't we going to the temple to burn incense?"

"I'm not going." Su Qingyao's voice was icy. "I'm not feeling well and want to go down the mountain."

"But..." Zhao Jiajia wanted to say something, but Su Qingyao grabbed her arm.

"I said, go down the mountain," Su Qingyao repeated, her tone leaving no room for argument.

Zhao Jiajia was pulled along by her, and then looked back at Jiang Chen and Tang Ruoxi, knowing exactly what was going on.

Her best friend...

Seeing Jiang Chen and Tang Ruoxi shopping yesterday immediately put me in a bad mood, and I decided not to shop anymore.

Seeing Jiang Chen carry Tang Ruoxi up the mountain today made me feel bad, so I didn't offer incense.

"If only I had known this would happen..."

Zhao Jiajia sighed inwardly, said nothing more, and followed Su Qingyao back onto the bus.

The doors closed, the bus slowly started moving, and it began its descent down the mountain.

In the car, Su Qingyao sat by the window, her face pale and her eyes vacant.

Zhao Jiajia looked at her, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Her best friend used to be so proud.

When Jiang Chen was pursuing her, she ignored him and would often give him the cold shoulder.

Now that Jiang Chen has found someone better, she feels bad again.

"Is this what they mean by 'the unattainable is always more alluring'?" Zhao Jiajia muttered to herself.

Outside the car, Jiang Chen and Tang Ruoxi were completely unaware of this.

The two followed the flow of people into the Fengyan Ancient Temple.

The temple was bustling with incense smoke, and the Buddha statues were solemn.

Tang Ruoxi knelt devoutly on the prayer mat, closing her eyes in prayer.

Jiang Chen stood to the side, looking at her profile, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind:

"In this life, I must make her happy."

After Tang Ruoxi finished praying, she stood up and looked at Jiang Chen: "Aren't you going to pray too?"

"Pray." Jiang Chen also knelt on the prayer mat, closed his eyes for three seconds, and then stood up.

"What did you wish for?" Tang Ruoxi asked curiously.

"It won't work if you say it out loud," Jiang Chen said with a mysterious smile.

"You're such a cheapskate," Tang Ruoxi muttered.

The two walked out of the main hall and saw several huge wishing trees behind the temple, covered with red ropes and wishing plaques, swaying gently in the wind.

"Wow..." Tang Ruoxi's eyes lit up, "So many wishing plaques!"

"Want to hang one up?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes!" Tang Ruoxi nodded vigorously.

Jiang Chen walked to a nearby stall, spent twenty yuan to buy two wishing plaques, and handed one to Tang Ruoxi.

The two of them each took a pen and began to write their wishes back to back.

Tang Ruoxi wrote quickly. After finishing, she secretly glanced at Jiang Chen and found that he was still writing. She blushed and covered the wishing plaque to her chest.

Jiang Chen wrote slowly and deliberately, with a smile on his lips.

After finishing writing, he turned around and asked, "Finished?"

"Mm." Tang Ruoxi nodded.

"Hang it together?"

"it is good."

The two walked to the wishing tree, found a low branch, and hung their wishing plaques on it.

The red string was tied tightly, and the wishing plaque swayed gently in the wind.

Tang Ruoxi secretly glanced at Jiang Chen's wishing plaque, which read:

May my parents be healthy, may the Tang Dynasty be joyful, and may this life be fulfilling.

Her face flushed, and her heart felt as sweet as honey.

Jiang Chen also glanced at Tang Ruoxi's wishing plaque, which read:

May my parents be safe and sound, may Lao Chen have a smooth life, and may we always be together.

He smiled and reached out to ruffle Tang Ruoxi's hair: "Well written."

"You were peeking!" Tang Ruoxi blushed to the roots of her ears.

"You were peeking at me too," Jiang Chen said matter-of-factly.

"I...I didn't!"

"Then why are you blushing?"

"I...I'm hot!"

The two were bickering, but both had smiles on their faces.

After hanging up the wishing plaque, the two strolled around the mountaintop for a while, enjoying the scenery, before deciding to take a bus down the mountain.

After all, climbing up was already tiring enough; if she continued, Tang Ruoxi's legs would definitely be ruined.

There weren't many people on the bus, so the two found seats in the back row by the window.

The car slowly started moving and began its descent down the mountain.

Tang Ruoxi leaned against the car window, watching the scenery rushing past outside, and gradually felt sleepy.

She tilted her head and leaned on Jiang Chen's shoulder again.

Jiang Chen adjusted his position to make her more comfortable leaning against him.

The setting sun streamed in through the car window, bathing the two of them in a golden light.

Jiang Chen looked down at Tang Ruoxi's peaceful sleeping face, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

He opened the system panel.

[Current Amazing Value: 1800 points]

rose again.

And, more importantly...

He looked at Tang Ruoxi on his shoulder, and his heart softened once again.

"This life," he thought to himself, "was truly worth it."

The bus swayed and bumped as it drove down the mountain.

It's like carrying the sweetness and dreams of one's entire youth.

And on the mountain, under the wishing tree.

Two brand-new wishing plaques gently touched each other in the wind, making a soft sound.

Like the gears of fate, they quietly came together at this moment.
