New organisms

After the roller coaster stopped for eight seconds, it suddenly rushed forward at high speed!

With a "whoosh—", the car plummeted rapidly. A numb feeling caused by the centrifugal force instantly spread from the soles of their feet throughout their bodies. The two of them kept falling straight down at a high speed, and their butts were no longer resting on the seats. Ji Chen estimated that she had used all her strength to tightly grip the handrail. Out of human instinct, that handrail was Ji Chen's lifesaver!

Ji Chen couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a "wow" scream.

However, Li Xuan beside her remained as calm as ever. He just turned his head to look at Ji Chen, gently holding the handrail with one hand while placing the other hand on Ji Chen's hand and patting it lightly, as if he was comforting Ji Chen.

The roller coaster made a 360-degree loop. When it passed the 180-degree mark, it paused for a moment. At that moment, Ji Chen let out a sigh of relief. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw that the buildings in front of her were completely upside down.

Li Xuan then said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here!"

"What's the use of you being here—ah!" Just as Ji Chen was about to retort that it was useless for Li Xuan to be there, the roller coaster let out a loud "boom—" and then slid down from the highest point at a speed close to flying.

Ji Chen could clearly hear that everyone in the car was screaming continuously, but she didn't hear Li Xuan beside her making any sound.

Finally, the roller coaster stopped. Due to inertia, Ji Chen lunged forward and then leaned back.

Ji Chen's soul still hadn't returned. She sat there gasping for breath, motionless.

Li Xuan beside her quickly unbuckled his seat belt, got up, walked around to Ji Chen's side, unbuckled her seat belt, and picked her up around the waist.

Just like that, they walked out of the station under the envious gazes of couple after couple.

Among them, one couple: the woman said, "Look at that. I want that too!" The man tried but couldn't lift his girlfriend up no matter how hard he tried.

After they walked out of the station, Ji Chen came to her senses. Looking at Li Xuan who was carrying her in a princess hold, she looked up at him from a bottom-up perspective. She just felt that this person had no flaws at all and looked good no matter how she looked at him.

The feeling of her face blushing came over Ji Chen again. Sure enough, after Ji Chen reached out and touched her un 争气 face, she felt a wave of heat spreading throughout her body from her fingertips.

She quickly poked Li Xuan's face. "There are so many people here. Put me down quickly."

Li Xuan looked down at Ji Chen but didn't respond to her words. He just walked straight to a bench and stopped. He put Ji Chen down.

Then he knelt down on one knee in front of Ji Chen, placed Ji Chen's left leg on his unbent knee, and gently massaged Ji Chen's calf with both hands.

Ji Chen quickly pulled her leg back, a little nervous. "What are you doing!"

Li Xuan then grabbed Ji Chen's right leg, stared at it, and said seriously, "Don't move. Gently massaging helps to relax your muscles after they've been tense."

Ji Chen stared straight at Li Xuan. In the past, when Ji Chen's legs went weak, Zhen Yu also knelt on one knee and massaged her legs like this. At that time, Ji Chen wanted to save face and was the first to come out of the haunted house. When she took the last step, the floor of the haunted house suddenly shook, and Ji Chen, who hadn't screamed throughout the whole process, finally let out a shout.

Zhen Yu quickly ran over, bent down, pinched Ji Chen's left calf, and looked up and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

"Li Xuan!" Ji Chen said.

Li Xuan put down Ji Chen's legs. "Take a few steps and see if there's anything uncomfortable." Li Xuan stood up.

Ji Chen stood up and took a few steps. She said to Li Xuan, "N... nothing. It's p... pretty good."

Li Xuan walked up to Ji Chen and rubbed Ji Chen's head. "If you're scared, don't play those kinds of rides."

"I'm not... I'm not scared." Ji Chen pouted.

Li Xuan looked at Ji Chen with a loving expression again and smiled softly. "Okay, you're not scared."

Ji Chen looked up at Li Xuan, stunned.

Li Xuan waved his hand in front of Ji Chen.

Ji Chen raised her hand and held Li Xuan's hand. She asked seriously, "Li Xuan, what exactly do you like about me? In this world, there are countless people who are prettier, gentler, and richer than me. Why did you choose me?"

Li Xuan answered without hesitation and seriously, "No matter how good they are, it has nothing to do with me. I like you because you are you."

A gust of wind from the passing roller coaster beside them blew a strand of Ji Chen's hair up.

Li Xuan stretched out his other hand to smooth down that strand of hair and tucked it behind Ji Chen's ear.

"I like you because you are you." This sentence kept spinning in Ji Chen's mind.

It's just simply because he likes the person she is, without any external factors involved. Not because of how beautiful a red dress she's wearing, not because of what brand her bag, shoes, and perfume are. Just because you are you.

This kind of love was something Ji Chen had never imagined. She had always thought that liking someone required a lot of reasons, but it was never the simplest reason of just liking the person for who they were.

She took a deep breath. She let go of the hand holding Li Xuan, took half a step back, and stretched out her other hand. "Hello, boyfriend!"

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment. He had already prepared himself for a long-term battle of attrition, but the person in front of him actually agreed to his request so readily.

"What, don't you want to? I'll count to three. Three..."

Li Xuan quickly reached out and held Ji Chen's hand. "Hello, girlfriend."

People were walking back and forth around them. Children were laughing and playing. From time to time, the passing roller coaster would bring bursts of screams. Someone's ice cream fell to the ground, and they were feeling regretful. Young couples were sweetly embracing each other.

Everything around them was constantly changing and moving, but only Ji Chen and Li Xuan were quietly looking at each other, not caring about the hustle and bustle of the outside world, not caring about the joys and sorrows of the people around them. They slightly raised their lips and smiled.

The red dress and the white shirt were frozen in this busy city like a painting.

In another laboratory, a person was wearing a white lab coat and was fiddling with a beaker in his hand. He pressed the dropper in his hand, and a drop of phenolphthalein test solution dropped into the alkaline solution and immediately turned magenta.

Suddenly, someone walked in from the door and said to that person, "The instrument has detected that after that incident, a new kind of creature has appeared."

The person put down the beaker in his hand and ran towards him in surprise. "Do you mean that a creature that doesn't belong here has appeared!"

"Yes!"

"Hahaha, after all these years, hahaha. Let's determine its location right away. Hurry up!" The person laughed wildly. Under the goggles, he looked towards the outside of the laboratory with an extremely vicious look in his eyes.

Ji Chen and Li Xuan walked into a restaurant in the amusement park. The two of them went up to the second floor and sat down. The second floor was just next to the rapids ride. When people exclaimed as they slid down, there would be people on the opposite side shooting water guns at them. When the water splashed, it would bring a bit of coolness. It was actually a very good viewing platform.

"What would you like to eat? I'll go and buy it." Li Xuan pinched Ji Chen's face affectionately.

"I heard that their duck breast rice is especially delicious. Hmm, I also want a children's meal!"

"Okay!" Li Xuan said and went downstairs to order food.

At this moment, Ji Chen's phone suddenly rang. It was Tian Yimeng calling.

"Hello, what's up? Why are you calling?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You told me yesterday that the two of you were just innocent friends, but today you made an official announcement and even posted it on Moments. Tell me, did you start dating a long time ago and didn't tell me? I was so worried about you yesterday, you heartless girl!"

"Come on! Please, my lady, have mercy. This little girl would never deceive you. When have I ever lied to you!"

"You've lied to me plenty! But, I'm really curious, how far have the two of you gone?"

At this time, Li Xuan was walking up with the food, but Ji Chen didn't notice yet.

"How far could we have gone? We've just started. Nothing has happened, okay!"

"Really? That's not like your style!"

"What's my style supposed to be? Just pounce on him directly?"

Li Xuan walked over, put the food down, and snatched Ji Chen's phone. He said to the other end of the phone, "We kissed!" Then he hung up directly.

Tian Yimeng opened her mouth wide. "You're so bad, Ji Chen. You just lied to me again! You just told me you were single and then you went and kissed another man. That's too much!"

On this side, Ji Chen looked at Li Xuan with a helpless expression and said, "Why did you lie to her?"

Li Xuan leaned closer to Ji Chen and put his hand on the railing behind Ji Chen.

"You forgot about me kissing you so quickly. It seems that my kissing skills aren't good enough, making you feel nothing. Then, let's do it again! In case you think I'm framing you!"

As Li Xuan said that, he pressed his lips against Ji Chen's lips again.

Ji Chen suddenly remembered that in yesterday's rain, Li Xuan had indeed kissed her. How could she have been so forgetful as to forget that!

Ji Chen pushed Li Xuan away. "There are so many people here. Don't do that!"

"Okay, then we'll find a place where there's no one later!"

"That's not what I meant. I... ugh, anyway, that's not what I meant!"

"Then what did you mean? Oh, I remember. Just now, I heard our dear Chenchen say that she wanted to pounce on me. Hmm~ This kind of thing has to be done by me. It's a rule and can't be changed."

Li Xuan patted Ji Chen's head lightly.

Ji Chen now just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. What on earth had she been blabbering about? Why, why did this person have to hear all of it?

Ji Chen quickly changed the subject. "Hurry up and eat. If you don't eat, it will get cold. Let's eat!"

Li Xuan sat down as he said that. After a while, he got up and sat down opposite Ji Chen.

"What are you doing?" Ji Chen was puzzled.

"After thinking about it, it's still not appropriate to sit there."

Ji Chen thought to herself: This person finally knows to keep a distance from me.

But after a while, Li Xuan shattered this immature thought.

"My lady is so beautiful that if I sit on the same side as you, I can only see your profile. It's better to sit opposite you so that I can see your whole face!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Ji Chen was choked by his words and quickly picked up the juice beside her and took a sip.

Li Xuan rested his chin on his hand and watched Ji Chen's series of actions. He said, "My lady is really extremely cute."

Ji Chen took a deep breath and said, "You, shut up for me!"

Li Xuan then made a motion of zipping his mouth in front of his mouth, indicating that he had obediently shut his mouth.

Ji Chen then started looking at the delicious food in front of her and buried her head in eating. But after a while, she raised her head again. "Don't keep looking at me. I can't eat like this. Also, hurry up and eat, or it will really get cold!"

Li Xuan pointed at his mouth with an innocent expression, indicating that Ji Chen hadn't unzipped his "mouth" yet.

Ji Chen stood up helplessly and leaned towards Li Xuan. She made a motion of unzipping and said, "You're such a big person. Aren't you being childish!"

Li Xuan held the hand that Ji Chen stretched out with one hand and then kissed it affectionately. He looked up and said, "Your Highness the Princess, please enjoy your meal!"

Ji Chen quickly pulled her hand back, lowered her head quickly, and ignored Li Xuan. She just stuffed food into her mouth in silence.
