And This One

"Here, it's for you." An Shiyu tossed the spray bottle to Bai Yuyou. "Try it."

Bai Yuyou hurriedly reached out to catch it, but the thumb-sized spray bounced around her palm before she finally managed to secure it.

Examining the delicate little bottle in her hand, Bai Yuyou noticed a unique emblem on its surface—something that didn’t look like a mass-produced design.

"What’s that?" Ye Shuang asked, also noticing the symbol.

"Just a family crest," An Shiyu replied casually, barely glancing at it.

Meanwhile, Bai Yuyou was still inspecting the spray bottle. When she pointed the nozzle toward herself, Ye Shuang immediately tapped her head with a light chop.

"What’s the difference between that and pointing a gun at yourself?"

Once Bai Yuyou understood how to use it properly, she capped the spray and murmured, "Thank you…"

"No big deal." An Shiyu waved it off before disappearing into the crowd of tourists without another word.

"What a strange girl," Ye Shuang muttered, watching her vanish into the distance. He couldn’t help but recall the sight of her unconscious earlier.

Was she trying to experience as many new things as possible because she knew her time was running out?

The thought left him with an inexplicable heaviness in his chest, a suffocating weight.

"Ye Shuang, she’s gone…"

"Yeah." He rubbed his palms together absentmindedly, waiting for the warmth to seep in before taking Bai Yuyou’s small hand in his. "Were you scared earlier?"

Bai Yuyou nodded. "Afraid… Ye Shuang might get hurt."

Ye Shuang smiled softly.

"So, do you still want to keep playing? Or should we head home?"

Truthfully, he had wanted to leave immediately after the incident, but the crowd had bottlenecked at the exit. If people hadn’t panicked, everyone could have gotten out smoothly.

"Want to play." Bai Yuyou’s gaze drifted toward the wrecked souvenir shop. "Seal ball…"

Seeing the shop now cordoned off, Ye Shuang pulled out his phone and searched for the plush toy. When he found an identical one online, he showed it to her.

"Look, they sell it here too."

Seal Ball — ¥39

"Much cheaper," Bai Yuyou murmured.

Ye Shuang chuckled. "Seems that way. Want to buy it?"

Bai Yuyou nodded earnestly, then hesitated. "Ye Shuang… can we buy two?"

"Of course. If you like something, just get it. Don’t worry too much about the cost." He added two to the cart and placed the order.

Bai Yuyou seemed delighted. "Two…"

"Why two?" Ye Shuang asked.

"One for Ye Shuang… one for me." She looked up at him. "If I like something… will Ye Shuang like it too?"

Ye Shuang paused, then gently ruffled her hair. "I will."

The incident with Xu Huan didn’t dampen their spirits for long. They went on to enjoy the spinning teacups and bumper cars, though Ye Shuang steered clear of the drop tower—just in case Bai Yuyou wanted to ride it multiple times.

Before they knew it, evening had fallen. Many visitors were leaving the amusement park, though quite a few stayed for the nighttime events.

"It’s dark already." Ye Shuang checked the time on his phone, but Bai Yuyou showed no signs of wanting to leave. She had prepared a full itinerary from an online guide, so she’d been leading him around all afternoon.

"Hungry?" he asked.

Bai Yuyou touched her stomach. "Hungry… but… still have plans."

"What plans?" Ye Shuang peeked at her phone, but she quickly hid it behind her back.

"No… looking."

Ye Shuang couldn’t help but laugh but respected her secrecy. Still, with night fully settled, they needed to eat something.

"We finished the sandwiches. Guess we’ll have to try one of the park’s restaurants." He pulled up reviews and settled on one with decent ratings.

A themed collaboration restaurant, no less.

The menu featured items like "Magikarp Meat Burger" and "Farfetch’d Roast Duck Wrap." Despite the questionable names, the food was surprisingly good.

At the end of the day, taste mattered more than gimmicks.

After dinner, the sky had darkened further, but spotlights still danced overhead, signaling an upcoming event.

"Ye Shuang…"

"Yeah?"

"One more place… to go." Bai Yuyou tugged lightly at his sleeve.

Ye Shuang already knew—she’d been checking the time all through dinner, clearly planning something.

To his surprise, she led him to the base of a towering Ferris wheel.

"The Ferris wheel, huh?" He looked up at the structure, now illuminated by neon lights that made it glow against the night sky. Its slow rotation seemed to stretch time itself.

"Want to ride it?"

"Mm."

"Let’s go, then." But Bai Yuyou stayed rooted in place.

"Wait… five minutes."

Ye Shuang didn’t press her. "Alright."

Five minutes later, they boarded the Ferris wheel—a premium attraction at ¥100 per person. A steep price for a single rotation, but the view was part of the experience.

As their cabin ascended, Ye Shuang expected Bai Yuyou to react, but she kept her eyes fixed outside, as if waiting for something.

He followed her gaze in silence.

From this height, they could see the nighttime ocean and the city’s glittering lights. Though not as vivid as daylight, the scene held a mysterious beauty.

Then, as their cabin reached the peak, a streak of fire shot into the sky—a brilliant stroke of color against the deep blue, exploding into a shower of sparks.

Fireworks bloomed across the night, painting it in vibrant hues. Ye Shuang finally understood what Bai Yuyou had been anticipating.

"Watching fireworks from a Ferris wheel… so this was your plan?" He smiled.

But perhaps she didn’t realize—the most dazzling sight wasn’t the fireworks, but the person beside her, sharing the moment.

"Mm…"

Amid the bursts of light, Bai Yuyou leaned closer. "And… this."

She closed her eyes, tilted her chin up, and pressed her lips to his.

For a moment, Ye Shuang’s breath caught.

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
