If a car were to hit them at high speed, he would most likely be thrown off balance, while his aunt would remain standing in place, and the car would fly away...

Yeah, this game really tests—trust my ass!

I've wasted my time learning.

Game lost!

……

It turns out.

Having a girlfriend who is too outstanding, and even a deity, isn't always a good thing.

……

Xinian continued walking along the pedestrian street with his aunt in hand. Suddenly, they heard music coming from ahead. It turned out to be a street performer playing the violin.

"Auntie, wait for me here for a moment."

Xinian jogged up to the street performer, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and the street performer looked confused at first, then nodded and accepted the money.

Seeing Xinian walk back, Diana asked curiously, "What did you say to him?"

"It's nothing. I just requested a song," hope Nian said.

"Then why is he confused..."

Diana was puzzled, but then it dawned on her, because the violin music had already begun—a melody and song that everyone recognized.

Christmas carols.

It's only March now, more than half a year before Christmas.

Pedestrians on the surrounding streets paused briefly, showing similar expressions of confusion, before quickly becoming engrossed in the cheerful music of the violin.

“Let’s go,” Xinian said, taking Diana’s hand.

Diana smiled and nodded.

no one knows.

This song has another meaning for Xinian and Diana, as the two met on Christmas Eve seventeen years ago.

……

Seeing a vanilla ice cream stand on the pedestrian street, Xinian bought one without hesitation.

"Is it inappropriate to buy one when you're out with a girl?" Diana whispered a reminder, but then she realized her mistake when she saw a couple next to her eating it in a rather unusual way.

"You try it first."

Xinian held up the vanilla ice cream in his hand.

Faced with his expectant gaze, Diana hesitated for a moment, then gathered her hair with her hand and lowered her head slightly.

Her soft, sensual lips parted slightly, and she extended her delicate pink tongue, gently licking the ice cream. The tip of her tongue caught a sliver of milky white, the movement both elegant and alluring. Her tongue then retreated, leaving a sweet aftertaste.

Xinian then began to eat her ice cream with a satisfied expression.

"Where did you learn that?" Diana glared at him reproachfully.

"I won't tell you." hope Nian blinked, feeling that she had finally won back a little.

really.

My aunt still has many areas where she's not familiar with things and needs to be developed gradually.

"You..." Diana was about to say something when a male voice came from behind her: "Miss Prince?"

Xinian and Diana turned around immediately. It was a middle-aged man around forty years old, dressed in a suit and tie, looking like he had just finished get off work.

Upon seeing Diana's face, the middle-aged man exclaimed with both surprise and delight, "Miss Prince, I never expected it to really be you!"

"Mr. Upton, are you still working at the museum?"

As Diana spoke, she said to Xinian, "He was a colleague of mine when I worked at the museum."

Upton said with a sigh, “Yes, without Miss Diana, my human encyclopedia, the museum’s workload has increased dramatically!”

"By the way, who is this?"

As Upton spoke, his gaze fell on the boy next to Diana, and he also noticed their clasped hands, his eyes filled with curiosity.

hope Nian's expression was somewhat stiff.

This is similar to the scene before when Diana took him back to Paradise Island, and he didn't know how to introduce himself.

but.

His relationship with his aunt is just a pretense, like a game of make-believe, a half-day practice of being a couple.

So there's nothing to hesitate about.

To avoid future problems, his current self-introduction should be—

“Hello, Mr. Upton.” hope Nian extended his hand and said confidently, changing his address at the last minute, “My name is hope Nian, and I am Diana’s boyfriend.”

"So it was... umm? What did you say?" Upton was suddenly stunned.

Looking at the earnest-looking black-haired boy, Upton smiled, then turned to Diana with a sudden realization and said, "Is this your relative? You're really joking..."

Diana shook her head, placed Xinian's hand on her waist, and said calmly and earnestly:

“Upton, he’s not joking.”

Chapter 164, The Moon is Beautiful Tonight

It was late at night.

Washington.

Located away from the bustling city center, it is a relatively quiet riverside park.

Only a few streetlights along the sidewalks emitted a soft white glow; many other places, such as the groves of trees in different directions from the public recreational facilities, were completely shrouded in darkness...

It was so quiet here that you could faintly hear the sounds of frogs and insects chirping, and the moon in the city sky silently cast its bright silver light.

A man and a woman walked hand in hand into the grove.

"Xinian, why did you bring me here...?"

The usually calm and composed beauty of the black-haired woman's face finally revealed a hint of something unusual, her beautiful eyes looking at the boy beside her with suspicion.

This child wouldn't be so audacious, would he?

I haven't even paid attention for a few days... and he's already gone astray so quickly?

"Why did you come here? Of course, to do what we like." hope Nian chuckled. "Aren't we a couple?"

Diana frowned slightly, her tone becoming somewhat cold: "I told you, you can't do anything too extreme. Besides, this is ultimately bad for your health..."

"arrive!"

Xinian suddenly called out, then released Diana's hand and walked forward.

Diana was slightly taken aback, as Xinian led her through the park's woods to a huge tree in the middle.

The tree is clearly nearly a hundred years old. Its thick trunk is so large that it would take three people to encircle it. It grows upwards with lush, umbrella-shaped branches and leaves, while its roots intertwine and penetrate deep into the earth.

"This is what I saw online yesterday."

hope Nian turned around, blinked, and said, "Couples can find an old tree, bury the secrets they want to tell each other under the tree, and then come back to the old tree together to retrieve them ten years later."

As he spoke, hope Nian took out a small glass bottle, a note, and a pen from his pocket.

"So, you brought me here for this..." Diana's cheeks flushed slightly, but fortunately it wasn't very noticeable in the darkness and under the shade of the trees.

"What did you think I was going to do?" hope Nian asked curiously.

"It's nothing, let's get started writing!"

Diana awkwardly changed the subject, taking the note and pen from Xinian's hand.

"No one is allowed to peek at what the other has written," hope Nian whispered a reminder, placing the note in his palm and, using the silvery moonlight, scribbling down a few lines of English.

A cool night breeze blew across the river, making the woods appear tranquil and beautiful.

“I’ve finished writing,” Diana suddenly said.

"I've finished writing it too."

Xinian put the pen away, folded the note in his hand, put it into the glass bottle, and gestured to Diana.

Diana folded her own note and put it into the glass bottle, folding it together with Xinian's note.

"Next, all we have to do is bury it."

Xinian rolled up his sleeves and immediately looked for a spot to dig a hole.

But before he could make a move...

With a "whoosh" sound!

With a crisp, clear metallic clang, a retro, sharp, sacred longsword was plunged into the base of the tree, its blade almost completely embedded in the earth, with only the patterned hilt slightly protruding, much like the sword in the stone from Western legends!

“This…” hope Nian paused.

"I think we should bury it deeper."

Diana looked as serious as if she were fighting Doomsday. She stepped forward and easily pulled out the Sword of Vulcan. The silver artifact disappeared behind her in a flash.

"also."

hope Nian looked at the deep hole left on the ground, his eyes twitched slightly, but he still put the glass bottle in and covered it with soil again.

After all this is done.

Xinian and Diana stood side by side in front of the tree.

"Is this all you need?" Diana asked softly.

“Yes.” Xinian nodded.

"Let's come back together ten years from now," Diana said, her beautiful eyes looking at Xinian.

hope Nian shook his head and said inexplicably, "Not ten years from now."
