Li Yao gave He Li a warning glance, signaling her not to say anything out of line. Then he turned around, blocking the three burning gazes, and took the water that Fu Xin handed him.

Thank you.

Having just finished a high-intensity speed climbing competition, his voice was deep and magnetic, with a slight panting, and his fingertips still retained the warmth of the exercise, slightly burning.

The bottle he had just received still carried the warmth of the girl's palm, but what Li Yao found even harder to ignore than that coolness was the burning heat that his fingertips felt the moment they touched it.

Fu Xin also sensed it.

Their fingertips touched lightly and unintentionally, and the warm sensation spread instantly, climbing up Fu Xin's ear and cheek, causing her ear tips to turn slightly red.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly withdrew her fingertips, nodded slightly, and softly replied, "Mmm...you're welcome."

A subtle, ambiguous atmosphere silently lingered between the two, tender and affectionate.

Not far away, the referee walked briskly over with a beautifully crafted paper reward card in hand, his face full of smiles.

This reward is an exclusive privilege of the amusement park castle, allowing guests to dine in a castle viewing area during the nighttime fireworks display. It is a special hidden perk of the venue, never open to the public on weekdays, and can only be unlocked by top challengers who break long-standing records.

He Li exclaimed with envy, thinking that she too could enjoy the best view.

Unexpectedly, the referee quickly and sheepishly shattered her illusion:

"I'm sorry, this reward is an exclusive date dinner for two, and you can only bring your partner."

He Li instantly dropped her envious expression, adopted a demure and apologetic posture, gave an awkward dry laugh, and decisively waved her hand to back down.

"Sorry for bothering you, I understand, I understand. I won't disturb my aunt and uncle's romantic time together!"

He Li took a big step back, not noticing Shen Xingye behind her, and bumped straight into the man's chest.

The feet, clad in lambskin boots, slammed heavily onto something soft, and a muffled groan came from above.

Startled, He Li jumped up, trembling, and hopped to the side. Facing Shen Xingye's狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious) face, she clasped her hands together in front of her and apologized repeatedly.

"I'm so sorry, Wild God! I didn't know you were behind me... You were blocking my view..."

"fine!"

He Li looked apologetic and, wanting to make amends, casually handed over the water she had beside her.

"Have some water to calm down..."

After handing it over, He Li noticed the water level had dropped slightly and suddenly realized that she had just opened the bottle and taken a small sip.

But just as she was about to take it back and replace it with another bottle, she saw that Shen Xingye hadn't noticed. He took it, unscrewed it, and aimed it at the bottle opening—

"Don't……!!!"

Shen Xingye had just come down from the climbing wall, his mouth was dry, and without thinking much, he grabbed a water bottle and gulped down the water.

The burning skin collided with the cool water droplets, and the restlessness was gradually taken away. The superior jawline of the sleeping man meandered down, rolled over the Adam's apple that slid up and down, and continued down, mixing with the sweat that had lingered at his collar, soaking the collar fabric.

He Li also unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

After finishing his water, Shen Xingye caught a glimpse of He Li out of the corner of his eye. Her eyes seemed uneasy, and he asked dismissively:

"What's wrong with you? I just stepped on you, I didn't say anything to you."

"It's nothing! It's nothing..."

He Li twitched the corner of her mouth, chuckled, and silently moved away, rubbing her slightly burning ears.

Does this count as an indirect kiss?

Is she with the Wild God?

Suddenly, the image of Shen Xingye's throat bobbing up and down popped into He Li's mind, so vivid and clear that she could even see the skin texture on his neck clearly...

Stop!

He Li took a deep breath, patted her rosy cheeks, and shook her head hard, throwing away all the yellow waste.

This is her aunt's brother. According to seniority, she should also call him uncle. It's a bit too taboo for her to fall in love with her uncle!

Although He Li seems to have no taste in anything when it comes to reading novels and comics, in reality, she's as timid as an ostrich.

"I'm a little hungry, how about we go eat first!" He Li patted her tummy, pointed to a restaurant not far away, and exclaimed, "I want a Cheese Pull-Apart Chicken Burger! Plus an order of spicy chicken wings!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a soft chuckle sounded behind him:

"I didn't expect you to have such a big appetite despite your short stature."

He Li turned her head angrily, and just then met Shen Xingye's unruly and cheeky little expression.

The pink-loving thoughts in her head had long been chased away by the soda bubbles, and she didn't hold back when she started teasing Shen Xingye:

"What's it to you? What's the use of being so tall? You couldn't even beat Brother Ye in the rock climbing competition just now!"

Pei Yuye, standing to the side, inexplicably felt as if she had been humiliated and quickly tried to defend herself:

"Hey, hey, hey, I may be a little shorter than Shen Xingye, but I'm still 183cm, okay? Why are you making it sound like I'm short?"

He Li gave him a sweet smile and stuck out her tongue apologetically:

"Brother Ye, I meant to say that you're faster at rock climbing than Shen Xingye, how come you didn't realize I was complimenting you?"

"You're on the right track! Come on, let's go get a hamburger, Brother Ye will treat you."

"Yay!"

Pei Yuye doted on He Li like a younger sister, putting one arm around her shoulder, and they walked towards the restaurant in the distance in a harmonious atmosphere.

Shen Xingye watched that cheerful, light-hearted figure for a few seconds before calmly looking away.

No wonder he grew up with Shen Zhi; their way of speaking, doing things, and even their little habit of teasing people are very similar. For a moment, he even thought he was arguing with Zhi Zhi when she was a child.

They're quirky and quite interesting.

Shen Xingye chuckled and shook his head, shaking the bottle of water with one hand while keeping the other hand in his pocket, slowly following their steps.

On the other side, Shen Zhi and Fu Xin walked hand in hand.

The two girls, one pure and alluring, the other elegant and radiant, both had impeccable figures; they were a stunning sight to behold wherever they stood.

Shen Zhi playfully nudged Fu Xin with her shoulder: "Tell me, what are your feelings for my fifth brother?"

As expected, Shen Zhi was the one who understood Fu Xin's inner thoughts the best.

Nothing can be hidden from her.

Just thinking about it made Fu Xin's ears turn a light red. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Li Yao, but unexpectedly met his gaze. Fu Xin quickly turned her head away, placing one hand on her chest. Her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

"I think he's very considerate and caring, but... he's not very talkative."

Shen Zhi's dimples were deeply sunken at the corners of her mouth, and her eyebrows and eyes were curved, like a little fox who had successfully stolen some fish.

Hehehe~ My best friend has become my sister-in-law, and she's happy about it!

She said it herself: Fu Xin and her fifth brother's destined match is terrifyingly strong!
