Huo Junyu smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Shan..."

Lu Lishan straightened his collar, wearing an arrogant expression, before being dragged away by Lin Yuqing by the ear.

Huo Junyu knocked on the door, but there was no response at first. He was a little worried and was about to ask the maid to get the spare key when the door opened.

Jiang Mianmian stood in front of him with her eyes lowered.

She has lost a lot of weight and has dark circles under her eyes, but she seems to be in good spirits.

"Mianmian..." Huo Junyu felt a pang of heartache, his fingers tracing her soft little face. "What else can I do for you?"

Jiang Mianmian smiled and gently leaned into his arms.

He had done so much for her these past few days. While she cooperated with the police investigation at the station, he stood guard outside. Even when she locked herself in her room, he was busy analyzing suspicious points and searching for evidence.

If there's anything else he could do for her...

Jiang Mianmian said softly, "I want to go out for a walk to clear my head. Can you come with me?"

"Of course!" Huo Junyu couldn't be happier. "Where do you want to go?"

Jiang Mianmian thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good place to go.

To be honest, she's been in a low mood these past few days. Even if she has a good ability to regulate her emotions, she can't pretend nothing happened when something like this happens.

"I...I just want to have some fun," she whispered. "As long as I can forget all these worries."

"That's it?" Huo Junyu chuckled, took her small hand and walked out, clearly uttering three words: "Leave it to me!"

Huo Junyu made a few phone calls, then drove Jiang Mianmian to a mountaintop.

Jiang Mianmian didn't recognize the place, but as she followed him through the bushes, a hidden world appeared in the clearing behind them... there was a helicopter parked there!

The silver-gray body gleamed in the sunlight, like a majestic eagle poised to take flight.

Huo Junyu explained with a smile, "This is my helipad. This helicopter was a gift from my mother when I graduated from university."

At this moment, several people walked over, wearing professional uniforms, and stood in front of Huo Junyu, nodding slightly.

“They are my flight instructors.” Huo Junyu looked at Jiang Mianmian. “Didn’t you want to have some fun? Today I’ll make sure you have a blast!”

Jiang Mianmian boarded the helicopter with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

The plane slowly took off and ascended to a certain altitude. Looking down through the window, the entire city seemed to have turned into a Lego toy. She had never seen the city from this angle before, and she was incredibly excited.

Then the instructor helped her put on her skydiving suit.

Jiang Mianmian was taken aback and looked up to see Huo Junyu's outstretched hand.

"Junyu, I..."

"Don't be afraid," he smiled gently. "I'm here."

When did you learn to skydive?

"Hmm... a long time ago." Huo Junyu grinned mischievously. "Don't you think I have many surprises for you that you don't know about?"

Jiang Mianmian punched him lightly with her little fist, and he took her hand and led her to the cabin door.

The instructors are all experienced skydivers with over ten years of experience, and some are retired paratroopers, ensuring absolute safety.

Jiang Mianmian's heart was about to jump out of her throat, and her legs were trembling uncontrollably.

However, the moment you jump and open your parachute, the whole world changes.

High in the air, Huo Junyu held her hand tightly, their parachutes resembling two small flowers blooming in the blue sky and white clouds. Jiang Mianmian felt the wind whistling past her ears; the intensely clear sensation of falling brought a unique thrill!

She couldn't help but shout.

All the sadness and sorrow vanished into the sky with the shouts...

"Mianmian!" Huo Junyu called out her name loudly.

Jiang Mianmian was surrounded by a rumbling sound, and because she was so excited, she didn't hear what Huo Junyu was shouting.

"What did you say?"

"I love you!"

"ah?"

Huo Junyu looked at her, his smile wide and hearty. "I said—I love you!"

Jiang Mianmian was stunned at first, then her eyes welled up with tears.

Her small hand was enveloped in his large hand, and the scent emanating from him gave her an immense sense of security.

Even at this altitude of 10,000 meters, she has nothing to worry about, because he is the parachute that will never be absent from her life.

After landing safely, Jiang Mianmian was still immersed in the excitement she had just experienced.

However, it was already close to noon, so Huo Junyu suggested that they go have lunch first.

Jiang Mianmian looked around. They had landed in the suburbs, with a long highway behind them and the vast ocean in front. The area was sparsely populated, and there were probably even fewer restaurants.

"Come with me." Huo Junyu took her hand. "I know a place where I guarantee you'll find delicious food!"

Jiang Mianmian chuckled softly.

"Junyu, can I ask you a question?"

"Um?"

Jiang Mianmian squinted her eyes and smiled like a kitten: "What did you do before you found me? How come you can solve anything!"

Huo Junyu glanced at her, feigning mystery: "I'm not telling you!"

"Huo Junyu!"

"If I lay all my secrets bare before you, what mystery will I have left in front of you? What if you leave me without any mystery?"

“You…” Jiang Mianmian’s eyes widened. This man’s childishness made her both laugh and cry.

"Mianmian," Huo Junyu said, looking like a wronged little wife, "Will you leave me?"

Jiang Mianmian teased him, "Yes!"

"That won't do!" Huo Junyu hurriedly grabbed her, acting spoiled by her side. "Jiang Mianmian, I'm yours in life and in death. You said you'd never leave me, you can't go back on your word!"
