The Night They Became a Couple, and the Sudden Change

At last, the car slowly returned to the city.

Lin Feng and Susan got out in the city as well. It was still early, so they decided to stroll around together and grab some late-night food.

Young people did not turn in that early.

Neither of them mentioned going home.

"Mr. Lin! Please wait!" Happy opened the car door and called out to Lin Feng, who was about to leave.

"What is it, Happy?" Lin Feng turned around in confusion.

"Um..." The big, chubby Happy suddenly became a little bashful. He bent over and took a Sea poster and a pen from the passenger seat.

Then he handed them to Lin Feng expectantly. The Sea poster showed Lin Feng wearing Superman's suit.

"Could you give me an autograph..." Happy shyly made his request.

"If, if it's not too much trouble, I'd also like a photo together!"

Good grief. Susan could not help laughing. She already knew that Happy knew Lin Feng's identity.

"You've become a star, Lin!" Susan teased.

Lin Feng smiled helplessly at Susan, then turned back to Happy. "Of course, Happy."

As he spoke, Lin Feng removed the ring he used to conceal his identity. A black combat suit wrapped around him.

His entire presence changed instantly. He looked completely different from the Lin Feng who wore the ring, leaving Happy and Susan marveling at the sight.

Happy took out his phone. Lin Feng stepped forward and put an arm around Happy's shoulders. Since he was taller than Happy, he bent his knees slightly.

"One, two, three... cheese..."

"Thank you, Mr. Superman!" Happy said excitedly.

"Oh no! Mr. Lin! Have a wonderful night!" After getting the autograph and photo, Happy excitedly hugged Lin Feng, then drove off, swerving in S-shapes down the road.

"Happy really says anything," Lin Feng said awkwardly as he changed out of the suit, put his ring back on, and turned from Superman into the boy next door again.

"Oh, Lin, even though this isn't my first time seeing it."

"When you're not wearing the suit, no one would ever connect you with Superman!" Susan exclaimed. "You obviously look the same, so why do I instinctively feel that you aren't Superman?"

"That's a secret!" Lin Feng touched his ring and smiled mysteriously.

Then Lin Feng extended his hand in invitation. "So, beautiful Miss Susan, would you be interested in taking a stroll through this city at night with me?"

Susan said nothing. Her pretty face merely flushed as she offered him her small hand.

New York was brightly lit beneath the night sky. Cars flowed through the streets, while street performers stood in small groups along the sidewalks, doing their best to entertain passersby.

Lin Feng held Susan's hand as they walked down the street, one after the other.

The soft, delicate sensation in his hand made Lin Feng, who had been single for twenty-one years, feel restless.

Neither of them spoke. They simply walked quietly, savoring the ambiguous yet wonderful atmosphere.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at a small plaza.

In the distance, a street performer from the shopping district sang a love song at the top of his lungs.

Couples standing arm in arm could be seen everywhere in the plaza.

"Hey, sir, would you like to buy a flower for your girlfriend?"

A little girl in red clothes held up a bouquet of flowers and blocked Lin Feng's path.

Do not let her age fool you; her eye for Light was sharp. Couples who clearly had just fallen in love usually would not refuse her sales pitch.

Sure enough, Lin Feng did not refuse. He took out some money and bought a bouquet of roses.

The little girl happily took the money and left.

Susan silently accepted the flowers.

For a long while, neither of them spoke.

Lin Feng felt that the mood had reached this point. According to the dating guide, he should take the initiative now.

Giving himself a pep talk, Lin Feng took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at Susan.

"Susan..."

"Hmm?" Susan looked up in response, then shyly lowered her head again and stared at the roses.

"Could you look at me, Susan?" Lin Feng's voice became slow and gentle, making Susan's heart tremble.

She raised her head again and looked into Lin Feng's eyes. They seemed to hold Light—bright and shimmering.

Looking at Susan's lovely face, which seemed almost unreal beneath the Light, Lin Feng could not help reaching out and touching her cheek.

Susan's pupils trembled slightly. She instinctively wanted to step back, but restrained herself.

She did not refuse. She merely opened her mouth, looking both confused and shy.

Her hesitant appearance made Lin Feng's heart flutter.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Lin Feng took a deep breath and slowly spoke the words. His voice was like Cupid's arrow, shooting straight into Susan's heart.

Lin Feng's sudden confession caught Susan off guard. She hurriedly lowered her head, making it impossible for Lin Feng to see her expression.

Scenes involving Lin Feng flashed rapidly through the Sea of Susan's mind. She knew clearly how she felt about this big boy.

Strong, confident, and full of Light, yet often absentminded. After several months together, Lin Feng had already left an indelible mark on her heart.

Susan did not know what she was feeling right now. She only knew that her heartbeat was speeding up, and the palm clutching the roses had begun to sweat uncontrollably.

Susan did not speak, and Lin Feng began to panic. What had that dating guide said again?

What was he supposed to say at a time like this? Lin Feng's brain started malfunctioning beyond his control.

"Well, um... being by my side might be dangerous."

"But I'll protect you with my life..."

With his thoughts in disarray, Lin Feng instinctively began reciting one of the confession examples from the dating guide.

"I'm the seasoning in your Sea food. Without me, you'll lose all your flavor!"

"No, no! I mean—"

"I'm the sun in your winter, the popsicle in your summer, the big umbrella on a rainy day!"

Susan burst out laughing.

Lin Feng's rambling swept away all her tension at once.

She looked up at Lin Feng. Her smiling eyes curved like crescent moons, with a faint Light flashing through them.

"Lin, what are you even saying...?"

"No, Susan, I just..." Lin Feng said in frustration. Why would his mouth not cooperate?

"Okay..." Susan softly spoke those two words, then lowered her head again, feeling as though her cheeks were burning.

When Susan suddenly said okay, Lin Feng froze completely.

His mind rapidly analyzed the meaning of those two words. In an instant, a river of joy rushed through his heart.

Lin Feng's breathing grew heavier beyond his control.

"Yes!"

Amid Susan's startled cry, Lin Feng, having received his answer, could not help pulling her into his arms.

Two young people with no experience in love fell for each other at that moment...

Clap, clap, clap!

Applause suddenly rang out for the couple who had just made their relationship official.

Lin Feng looked up and was shocked to discover that, at some point, a crowd of passersby had gathered to watch his confession.

"Good job, kid!"

"Bless you two, young couple!"

The onlookers generously offered their blessings.

Applause and whistles immediately mixed together.

Seeing this, the wandering singer in the distance began singing a melody of blessing as well.

Confessions were already a common sight on this street filled with the atmosphere of romance.

This place had practically become the confession hotspot for the entire area.

Passersby always cheered for every couple whose confession succeeded!

"Kiss her! Kiss her!"

The crowd shouted, their kind eyes fixed on the young couple.

Lin Feng lowered his head and looked at the shy Susan in his arms.

Susan's eyes were filled with tenderness as she quietly gazed at Lin Feng. The smile on her cheeks could not be hidden, as though she were waiting for him to act.

"Be brave, kid!"

Seeing that Lin Feng still was not making a move, the onlookers shouted more encouragement, urging him to be bolder.

Lin Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry. Why are the spectators more impatient than I am?

Trying to calm himself again, Lin Feng slowly lowered his head and moved toward Susan.

The distance between them grew closer and closer. Susan's flower-like fragrance drifted into Lin Feng's nose.

Lin Feng's distinct masculine scent slowly stirred Susan as well. She gently closed her eyes, waiting for that moment to arrive as though awaiting a sacred ritual.

So close together, their hearts seemed to pull each other into an accelerating race.

Amid the crowd's cheers, only a millimeter remained between their lips!

But in the next second, a sudden change erupted!
