"You..." Feng Sen was speechless.
Mu Anxiao deliberately took a step back and said, "Alright, let's not say anything more. From now on, you go your way, and I'll go mine. Bye-bye."
"I'll marry you," Feng Sen suddenly declared.
Feng Qishi and Mu Anxiao were equally startled. Mu Anxiao said, "If you follow me, you'll have to be a live-in son-in-law."
Hearing about being a live-in son-in-law, hesitation flashed in Feng Sen's eyes.
Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Sen's reaction, then glanced at Feng Qishi beside her. She asked, "Are you still going to marry me?"
"Anyway..."
"If you marry me, you'll have to come back to the village with me, and from now on, you can't see your mother anymore," Mu Anxiao interrupted deliberately.
This time, the eager expression on Feng Sen's face immediately vanished.
Feng Qishi watched Feng Sen and said, "He's changing his mind."
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi and remained silent.
After a minute of hesitation, Feng Sen looked up and said, "If you come here in the future, look for me. Just consider me your older brother."
"Didn't you want to marry me?" Mu Anxiao asked deliberately.
"That..." Feng Sen dared not look at Mu Anxiao and gave an awkward smile. "I was joking with you. You are my friend's friend, so naturally, you are my friend too. From now on, I'll be your older brother. When I go to the city in the future, I can help you find work. Well, nothing else, I'll be going now."
"Don't you like me?" Mu Anxiao asked again, stepping forward deliberately. "Actually, I've thought about it. You're quite good too. How about..."
"Stop right there. You know my mother. She won't agree. That..." Before he could finish, Feng Sen took out his phone and pretended to answer it. "Hello, yes, yes, yes, I'm coming right away." After speaking, he lowered the phone.
Mu Anxiao watched Feng Sen's pretense and said, "Actually, we could talk about it further."
"No need. I'm going on a blind date. Well, I wish you happiness here," Feng Sen said, stepping back half a step.
Mu Anxiao watched Feng Sen constantly evade her gaze, unable to meet her eyes, and said, "Then you can go."
"Okay, I'm going. Be happy," Feng Sen said and turned to leave.
Immediately, Feng Qishi burst into laughter.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi and said, "Your plan was really effective."
"Of course. That guy is like that. He's persistent, but as soon as he encounters difficulty, he immediately retreats. Besides," Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's face and smiled, "you're not good-looking, so naturally, he retreats even faster."
"Thanks for the compliment."
"I wasn't complimenting you," Feng Qishi said.
Mu Anxiao snorted lightly and turned to walk away.
Feng Qishi followed and asked, "I find you strange. Everyone likes to be told they are good-looking, but why do you prefer to be told you are not?"
"Being good-looking doesn't put food on the table. Besides," Mu Anxiao said as she walked, "if I'm a bit rough-looking, it'll be easier to find work back home. Being good-looking is too dangerous where I come from."
"You're already at the top, and you still think about these things?" Feng Qishi exclaimed in surprise.
Mu Anxiao glanced sideways and said, "You wouldn't understand."
"I certainly don't understand what you're thinking," Feng Qishi shook his head.
Mu Anxiao muttered casually, "If you don't understand, then just keep not understanding."
"What are you muttering about?" Feng Qishi asked.
Mu Anxiao tilted her head and said, "Nothing."
An hour later, Mu Anxiao felt she had played enough with Feng Qishi for the project. Finally, they arrived at the roller coaster.
"Are you ready? Can you keep up with this speed?" Mu Anxiao asked, pointing upwards.
Feng Qishi glanced at the super-fast roller coaster and then at his own hands. He said, "Forget it, it's better if I don't take the risk."
Mu Anxiao sneered, "Scared already? Let me tell you, once you pass this, your flying speed will be even faster. Otherwise, how will you fight monsters?"
"You came here with a purpose, didn't you?" Feng Qishi realized.
Mu Anxiao's lips curved upwards. "The speed of the roller coaster is just right for practicing flying," she said, looking at Feng Qishi.
"I am a soul. I will have a body in the future... so, I don't think it's necessary," Feng Qishi said, fearing an accident if he tried.
"If you had a body, I would definitely not have you do this," Mu Anxiao said.
"You..."
"If you don't go, when we get back, I'll take you to the edge of a cliff to practice," Mu Anxiao said deliberately.
Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, Feng Qishi was reminded of himself being thrown off the hospital building by the wolf demon. His heart sank, and he said, "Never mind, I'll take it slowly, starting from the basics." He pointed at the roller coaster.
"Let's go," Mu Anxiao said, tilting her head in that direction.
Feng Qishi gave a dry chuckle.
"You just need to chase it," Mu Anxiao added.
Feng Qishi nodded.
A few minutes later, Mu Anxiao was seated on the roller coaster. As she fastened her seatbelt, Feng Qishi was already in position below.
"Three... two... one..." Feng Qishi counted down and then took off with a surge.
Following that, he weaved through the wind, catching up to the accelerating roller coaster, and came beside Mu Anxiao. "This is amazing!" he exclaimed.
Due to the wind, Mu Anxiao couldn't hear Feng Qishi and had closed her eyes.
Feng Qishi clenched his fists and matched the speed of the roller coaster.
Shortly after, Mu Anxiao got off, looking pale, and sat on the steps, feeling her stomach churn.
Feng Qishi, on the contrary, sat excitedly beside Mu Anxiao and said, "Again."
Mu Anxiao raised a hand and said, "You go by yourself. I'm not accompanying you."
"No," Feng Qishi stated firmly.
Mu Anxiao half-opened her eyes and looked at Feng Qishi's excited expression. "Brother, I've played with you countless times. You've had enough," she said.
"I haven't had enough," Feng Qishi replied, his expression becoming serious. "I can go even faster."
"You're already three laps faster than that, and you still haven't had enough?" Mu Anxiao leaned over, holding her stomach.
"No..."
"Enough!" Mu Anxiao roared.
In that instant, the gaze of everyone nearby turned towards them.
Mu Anxiao, holding onto a railing, stood up with great difficulty. "I'm not playing anymore. I feel like throwing up."
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's haggard appearance and thought about his own pushy and childish words. He said, "I'm sorry."
Mu Anxiao shook her head, bent over, and walked forward.
Feng Qishi quickly followed Mu Anxiao, looking helplessly at his hands that could not touch her, and frowned deeply.
Mu Anxiao continuously swallowed, stopped by a tree, and leaned against it, catching her breath.
"Are you alright?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked up at the boy who asked her and shook her head.
"You don't recognize me," the boy said.
Feng Qishi looked at the boy asking the question and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who are you?" Mu Anxiao asked indifferently.
