"Bam!"

The small, heavy box emitted a muffled sound.

Huo Changyuan's expression was bad and his tone was bad, "No no, then I'll throw it away!"

With that, he walked away with big steps.

Lin Wanbai looked at his tall and hard back, not moving, afraid that she would be picked up the moment she left.

If he remembered correctly, when he settled the bill, he had converted at least 70,000 yuan, which was equivalent to a year's salary for many people. Yet, he did not hesitate at all ?

None at all, they were thrown away just like that.

Even if it wasn't her own money, Lin Wanbai still felt pained.

She bit her lip. "I want to ?"

When Huo Changyuan heard this, he stopped and turned around. His pair of deep eyes looked at her gloomily.

Lin Wanbai seemed to have lost the battle as she walked into the dustbin and retrieved the blue box. Her white bow was stained with some dirt as she carefully wiped it off ? ?

He wiped it off.

He opened it and found the key necklace with the petals of the sun lying on top of it.

It was even better than the one in the shop. The inlaid diamonds made one dizzy.

Lin Wanbai had probably never been in contact with such expensive jewelry in her life, not to mention wearing it. Her eyes were filled with the light of the diamonds.

She raised her hand to touch the pendant, but someone was faster than her.

She raised her eyes and saw the strong features that were magnified at a close distance.

Unknowingly, Huo Changyuan had come back and snatched the necklace from her. At this moment, he was leaning against her face and suddenly felt a cold sensation on his neck. It was the key to the sun flower petal ?

It hung at his collarbone.

Huo Changyuan didn't let go as he grabbed the back of her neck.

With a little bit of force, she was forced to move forward and meet his deep gaze. "You must wear it wherever you go in the future!"

"Oh." Lin Wanbai nodded.

"Hang it around your neck all the time!"

"Got it ?"

"You are not allowed to take off your bath!"

"Yes ?"

Only after she guaranteed it three times did Huo Changyuan raise his eyebrows in satisfaction.

Lin Wanbai was more or less used to his mood swings and only dared to secretly say he was overbearing in her heart.

However, when she looked down and saw the shiny necklace, she still felt very burdened. She had never worn such an expensive accessory, so she would occasionally look around from left to right ?

He was worried that some passerby might step forward and snatch it away...

Lin Wanbai took the key pendant and put it inside her collar.

In the end, he even touched it through the cloth.

Huo Changyuan, who was beside her, noticed a series of small movements, and a light glimmer gradually appeared in the depths of her eyes.

He put his arm around her shoulder and spoke again. His tone was much clearer than before, "Come, let's go to Times Square. I'll show you around."

By the time they had gone, the night had already begun to fall.

Worthy of being called the crossroads of the world, there were many people there, a scene of flourishing lights.

After entering it, one would feel extremely small.

Lin Wanbai subconsciously held Huo Changyuan's hand tightly while she was being held by him. Both of their fingers were tightly clenched. Otherwise, they would have been washed away by the crowd if they were not careful ?

"Yes."

She felt like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world before. It was novel everywhere she looked.

Huo Changyuan held her hand and pointed to a street in the distance, "It's still early, we can go to the opera later."

Opera was also very fashionable and popular here. Many people who came to visit this city would leave in admiration.

"Alright!" Lin Wanbai nodded.

Ye Zichen wandered around for a long time, then licked his lips with a dry throat.

Just as he moved, Huo Changyuan asked, "What do you want to drink?"

"Salt soda." Lin Wanbai almost blurted out.

Huo Changyuan glanced at the convenience store across the street and pulled her to the edge of the flowerbed. "Just wait here obediently for me to come back. Don't run around!"

Lin Wanbai nodded meekly.

Five minutes later, Huo Changyuan returned with a bottle of salt water and a bottle of cola. He saw that her surroundings were filled with an old tourist group and she was curled up in a corner ?

His feet were propped up, as if he was afraid of being overlooked.

"Why didn't you change stations?"

He walked over and tapped her on the head with the soda.

Lin Wanbai rubbed her forehead in pain. "You're the one who told me to be obedient and wait for you. Don't run around ?"

Huo Changyuan was helpless, but it was enough to make people relax.

"Yours!" He handed her the soda.

Lin Wanbai thanked him. When she took the bottle, she realized that the cap had already been unscrewed. It was fine to just drink it.

Unlike ordinary soft drinks, it first tasted salty in the mouth, then it tasted sweet. The feeling of it finally resting on the tip of the tongue was different from any other drink. It was strange, but that taste ?

People often liked to drink this, and over time, she seemed to have developed this habit as well.

The moment he placed the bottle down, the bottle in his hands was snatched away.

Huo Changyuan raised his head and took two gulps. He frowned, "What the hell is that thing!"

After that, he tossed it back to her. The corner of Lin Wanbai's mouth twitched as she looked at the half-empty bottle of soda. She wasn't sure if she should continue drinking it since it was still stained with his salt water.

Saliva...

He screwed the cap back on the bottle and looked up. A familiar figure flashed across his vision.

All the cells in his body instantly froze.

She gasped for breath, and when she looked again, all she saw were strange foreigners.

Lin Wanbai shook her head.

Even though he knew he was living in the same city, New York was not that big of a place, he did not think it was a coincidence ? ?

What happened!?

Huo Changyuan embraced her and asked while lowering his head, "What are you looking at?"

"Ugh." Lin Wanbai paused and pointed to the other side. "That skateboarder from before was really handsome ?"

As soon as he said that, he felt a sharp pain on his waist.

Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Lin Wanbai hastily added, "But I'm not as handsome as you!"

"Really?" Huo Changyuan raised his eyebrows.

Lin Wanbai nodded heavily, as if she was afraid that he wouldn't believe her. She even dragged out her words on purpose. "Hmm ?"

In the next second, her chin was suddenly lifted.

"You ? "Ugh!"

Lin Wanbai's eyes widened.

Huo Changyuan actually kissed her directly, and it was not just a taste.

Next to them was an unending stream of people on the streets, passing by them from time to time. Even in the open Western Country, no one would recognize her, and neither would Lin Wanbai.

She still felt shy, but she couldn't push him away at all.

Lin Wanbai's face was completely red when she was released. She didn't dare to raise her head.

Huo Changyuan pressed her into his embrace as his chest rose and fell violently. The color in his eyes had changed. He only stayed there for a short while before carrying her to a taxi ?

"Let's go back to the hotel!"

Along the way, Huo Changyuan occasionally told the driver to hurry up in English.

When they arrived at the hotel, he pulled her upstairs.

When the door closed, he didn't even have time to insert the card before Lin Wanbai was carried on his shoulder in the darkness.

As the sound of foil being torn apart came into her ears, Lin Wanbai suddenly remembered that she had to watch an opera ?
