As the lights were about to disappear into the darkness and illuminate the buildings, the amusement park was no longer as bustling and noisy as it was during the day.
The night breeze, carrying the unique heat of summer, swept past their clasped legs, causing the light, overlapping skirts to ripple and sway.
Xu Shiyue's kiss came suddenly, yet it was gentler than ever before.
She proceeded step by step, first kissing Lu Shizhen's lips, then gently opening her teeth, expressing her devotion with the delicate, intertwined kisses on her tongue.
The Ferris wheel's lights and the shadows behind them illuminated them while simultaneously enveloping and protecting their figures in shadow.
The sounds coming from the front of the Ferris wheel leaped into Lu Shizhen's ears, making her feel both nervous and excited, her amplified and sensitive nerves trembling.
To be honest, Lu Shizhen was captivated by Xu Shiyue's sudden kiss, but she didn't know why Xu Shiyue had kissed her so suddenly.
Their moist lips met, and the gentle caresses made her feel that Xu Shiyue's kiss was not casual, but rather a comforting gesture.
The warm night breeze was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, and Xu Shiyue slowly clasped Lu Shizhen's wrist in her palm.
A damp sheen of sweat spread from her palms to her neck. She pecked Lu Shizhen's lips again, and as she finished, looked into Lu Shizhen's eyes and said, "It will come back."
Xu Shiyue's voice was very soft, with slightly unsteady breathing.
Lu Shizhen was taken aback by her seemingly random remark, then her eyes widened in surprise as if she had just realized what she was saying.
She immediately understood why Xu Shiyue had suddenly pulled her close to kiss her.
Xu Shiyue was indeed comforting herself, and her comfort stemmed from her awareness of what she had just been thinking.
Although the staff member was dressed as an old man, he moved very nimbly, and Xu Shiyue quickly returned with the two large items.
Just as she reached the spot where the bench had been, she saw Lu Shizhen, who had promised to sit there and wait patiently, walk towards the Ferris wheel not far away.
The lights that gradually came on in the distance flickered, their light engulfing the twilight from afar, but also making the figure standing alone in the middle of the path appear particularly dim.
This scene looked familiar; Xu Shiyue couldn't possibly forget it.
Therefore, she also knew that Lu Shizhen could not possibly forget.
Xu Shiyue gently stroked Lu Shizhen's neck, her fingertips stained with a thin layer of sweat that was even more scorching than the summer sun.
She looked at Lu Shizhen, whose face showed surprise, and said to her, "If you can't stand the wind, go to the car."
The so-called superpower is being able to drive a car in just before the park closes in the evening.
The Ferris wheel gradually became lively after the lights were turned on, making the car interior even quieter.
Xu Shiyue handed the document to Lu Shizhen and told her the news she had been preparing for a long time: "Qiuqiu herself is an emotional factor that the previous main god abandoned in the system. The chances of piecing it back together are higher than in an ordinary system."
"The main god has been salvaging its fragments for the past few months, and Lu Shien has also been helping."
"Xiao En?" Lu Shizhen was surprised and nervous when she heard Lu Shien's name.
She didn't know whether the child would accept her like Lu Shize would, or whether he would still reject her.
Xu Shiyue saw through Lu Shizhen's hesitation at a glance and said to her, "Yes, she also looks forward to your return every day."
"She doesn't blame me?" Lu Shizhen, unaware of what had happened after she left, pressed Xu Shiyue for an answer.
"What's it to blame you for?" Xu Shiyue asked, glancing at Lu Shizhen and tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Please, Teacher Sixteen, don't always feel so guilty. You're practically half a person of this world, so be more assertive."
Xu Shiyue's fingers were hooked around Lu Shizhen's cheek, soft and gentle, making one want to lean in and touch them.
Lu Shizhen casually picked up a piece of paper, leaned it against what looked like her fingers, and sighed like a parent: "If it were anyone else, I could certainly be assertive, but Xiao En has always been someone who gives in to kindness..."
Before Lu Shizhen could finish speaking her worried and anxious words, Xu Shiyue interrupted her.
Those cool eyes narrowed slightly under the light, full of scrutiny and dissatisfaction: "Sixteen, we came out on a date today, but you take longer to mention Lu Shi'en's name than to call my name."
"No..." Lu Shizhen clearly sensed Xu Shiyue's jealousy and hurriedly tried to explain, but her wrist, which was hanging by her side, was grabbed.
The dim lighting inside the car cast loose, hazy shadows, which then leaned towards Lu Shizhen like a net.
A faint, refreshing fragrance emanated from Xu Shiyue, and Lu Shizhen was thus "voluntarily" kissed by Xu Shiyue, who lifted her neck, and then seemed to be lightly bitten in dissatisfaction.
The temperature inside the car was slowly rising, and Xu Shiyue kept doing this, melting on Lu Shizhen's tongue as she held the food in her mouth.
Tonight's kiss is sweet.
The moon was bright and the stars were few. When the two of them got home, it was almost ten o'clock.
The villa, nestled amidst lush greenery, was still lit up under the night sky, standing brightly in Lu Shizhen and Xu Shiyue's line of sight.
Lu Shizhen assumed that Aunt Sun was waiting for them to come home, so she didn't pay much attention to it. But as soon as she pushed the door open and entered the house, she saw someone sitting on the sofa in the living room with their back to her. The flamboyant bow in that person's hair looked so familiar.
Lu Shi'en, with his legs crossed, turned around and asked with a smile when he heard Lu Shizhen open the door and enter the house, "Sister, you're finally back. Did you have fun?"
Lu Shi'en said this with a smile, but when she looked at Lu Shizhen, her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and interrogation that she could not hide and did not care to hide. She crossed her arms and looked very imposing.
Lu Shizhen suddenly felt like she had sneaked out to play and been caught by her parents.
She swallowed hard, managed a weak smile, and asked softly, "Xiao En, what brings you here?"
"Sister, why did I come here?" Lu Shi'en's voice rose high, and the smile on her face lasted for less than half a second before it disappeared. "You came back and saw your brother but didn't come to see me. You went out on a date with Xu Shiyue first thing this morning. Do you even care about your sister anymore!"
Lu Shi'en's voice grew louder and louder, his willful and capricious manner filled with concern for Lu Shizhen.
Lu Shizhen felt very guilty as she listened, and then Shen Yanxing, who was sitting on the other side, also spoke to her: "Shi En found out you were back yesterday, and she was in a hurry to see you. I saw that she hadn't rested well for a long time, so I told her I would bring her to see you tomorrow, but when we got to the villa, you had already left with Xu Shiyue."
At this point, Shen Yanxing's voice deepened, and he said earnestly to Lu Shizhen, "Shizhen, Shi En really misses you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shizhen immediately went to Lu Shien's side and sincerely apologized: "Xiao En, I'm sorry, it was my oversight. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"
With just that one sentence, Lu Shien's arrogant and domineering demeanor vanished instantly.
She looked at her long-lost sister with a wronged expression and grabbed her hand: "You know, I can't bear to be angry with you."
Then, a hint of nervousness and timidity appeared in her eyes, and she asked tentatively in a low voice, "Sister, you're not angry about what I said to you before, are you?"
“I was never angry with you in the first place. I witnessed with my own eyes the great things you did to defend my position,” Lu Shizhen said, her tone much lighter than before, even a little sarcastic.
When Lu Shi'en heard Lu Shizhen say this, his eyes reddened and he laughed and cried at the same time.
Then, as if she had just thought of something, she suddenly hugged Lu Shizhen tightly: "So I've protected your position, so you can't leave anymore! If Xu Shiyue treats you badly, come find me! You're not allowed to go back to the other world!"
Lu Shizhen couldn't help but chuckle at Lu Shien's childish yet sincere concern.
She patted Lu Shi'en on the shoulder, as if she had gained some kind of support, and looked at Xu Shiyue standing to the side: "See? If you bully me in the future, I'll have my sister stand up for me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Shiyue saw two sisters looking at her.
It also carries a sense of shared hatred against a common enemy.
Xu Shiyue just watched, her expression unreadable, her eyes crinkling slightly, before she turned to Shen Yanxing beside her and asked, "Is there something you need today?"
Shen Yanxing nodded and reminded Lu Shien, who was clinging tightly to Lu Shizhen, "Actually, Shien has something to say."
"Oh right." Lu Shi'en slapped his forehead, sat up straight, and said to Lu Shizhen, "Sister, I got your kitten out for you at noon. That woman has already gone to integrate it. She asked us to meet in the lab tomorrow morning."
Lu Shi'en's words have always been unrestrained and he doesn't follow many rules. The woman he was referring to was the new main god who was promoted from the main system.
The kitten is Qiuqiu.
Lu Shizhen was overjoyed.
Because she no longer had the system bound to her and could not actively contact the main god, Lu Shizhen had never looked forward to the sun rising above the horizon like this in her entire life.
If it weren't for Xu Shiyue holding her back, she would have been eager to go to school at four in the morning to drag Lu Shien, who could finally get a good night's sleep, to her lab.
The room, filled with high-precision computers, lit up one by one as the switches were turned on.
The screen, gleaming with indigo light, reflected the unease on Lu Shizhen's face, creating a stark contrast with Lu Shi'en, who was yawning as the computer was forcibly turned on.
Lu Shizhen still remembers that she met the current main god twice in this place, and it was also in this place that she lost her Qiuqiu.
She really missed Qiuqiu.
At the same time, I also felt a lot of worry and fear, and I unconsciously wondered what would happen if the integration failed.
Lu Shizhen's fate had been terrible for a long time in the past, and she had become accustomed to thinking about things in the worst possible light.
At that moment, a gentle touch suddenly fell on Lu Shizhen's shoulder.
Xu Shiyue pulled her close and whispered in her ear, "The worst is over, there won't be any more mishaps."
Lu Shizhen was momentarily distracted and turned to look at Xu Shiyue.
Then, seeing her gentle gaze fixed on him, his anxious heart was comfortably soothed by a soft embrace.
"Miss Lu, it's been a long time."
As Lu Shizhen was gazing at Xu Shiyue, the familiar yet unfamiliar voice of the Supreme God appeared in her ears.
An elegant and tall woman stepped out of the electronic screen, her hair as black as ink, her long dress swaying, and a soft light surrounding her.
Such divine gentleness, yet with a sense of distance, made Lu Shizhen nod calmly and say, "Yes, this is the first time I've seen you in this form."
"We'll have many more opportunities to meet like this in the future." The Supreme God smiled slightly and pushed out a spherical aggregate that gathered various colors of light. "The Reverse Awakening System requires a drop of the original host's blood. Miss Lu, would you please extend your hand?"
“Okay.” Lu Shizhen nodded and extended her hand to the God with complete trust.
A sharp pain shot through my fingertip, and then a drop of crimson blood fell out.
As if sensing something, the aggregate of matter drifted after the drop of blood.
Devouring, merging, fluctuation.
The loose aggregate emitted an increasingly bright light, small yet almost blindingly bright, illuminating the entire space.
Lu Shizhen instinctively pulled Xu Shiyue into her arms, while Lu Shien, who was wearing a white coat, was also fully awakened from his daze of being forced to turn on his phone by his sister early in the morning.
Finally, at a certain critical point, the aggregate in a chaotic state emitted its brightest flash.
Then the light suddenly disappeared, leaving only a small ball flickering with unstable electricity in the vastness.
Despite the unstable current, the jumping sound still impatiently rang out: "Congratulations, host, on successfully activating the system. Welcome to use the system. I am your exclusive system number 0253!"
