At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Lin Xinyue could never have imagined that after she pressed the button, the ensuing event would become an affirmed joy she could never forget in her lifetime.

In the long river of time over the next few decades, every time she recalled this event, she would feel as if she were back at the moment when she first fell in love with Gu Yu.

Three seconds after pressing the button, countless small points of light rose into the eastern sky above Modu.

These points of light, upon reaching the height of the sky, instantaneously burst into colorful fireworks, as if the sky had become a dream, and she was in the midst of it.

One after another, even the city lights below could not match half the splendor of this moment.

They first spread out simply into a swath of points of light, then formed the shape of a heart, and soon after exploded into the surnames of two people.

The entire city, tens of millions of people, at this very moment, were looking up at this grand fireworks display, rising amidst the ban.

Countless people shed tears, reminded of their own childhoods.

Innumerable others leapt for joy, embracing and kissing the ones they loved under this display.

To be romantic unto death was to become the style of this city at this moment.

"I hope our love will be a match of equals, a meeting of minds, a dream for the future in openness and honesty, pure, courageous, and even if someone spits on us, curses or slanders, I hope we can dance together in the wind as we fall from the high sky!"

Every person in the city received such a message.

The number was 520, a public number that did not exist.

Yet everyone received this message, clear and real.

So they looked at their loved ones, their hearts beating mere centimeters apart, their souls merging.

This five-minute fireworks feast gradually faded into the night wind.

After a long time, their lips parted.

Lin Xinyue, her face red from lack of oxygen, looked at the face before her, just as flushed.

Her heart was beating fast, and so was his.

"I've felt your sincerity, and I've come to understand everything about you."

Lin Xinyue, with her arms around Gu Yu's shoulders, spoke with a gentle voice.

Indeed, she had felt very insecure before.

But now she understood that no matter what was behind Gu Yu, or however exceptional he may be, all of that was external.

The heart of the man before her had long grown together with hers.

Their left and right ventricles competed in generosity, constantly supplying their love with undying passion.

"Are you still afraid?"

Gu Yu pressed her head tightly to his chest, letting her listen to the strong beating of his heart.

"I'm not afraid anymore."

"Besides, I have this!"

Lin Xinyue said with a laugh, then reached out and fumbled at her chest, pulling out a pendant.

More precisely, it was a ceramic whistle.

This was a keepsake from Gu Yu's grandmother.

"You've said it, as long as I blow the whistle, you will appear immediately."

Lin Xinyue pouted proudly.

"It was I who said it."

Gu Yu gently kissed her forehead and smiled.

Lin Xinyue pinched the whistle, gingerly blowing into it, and to her surprise, the sound was not the shrill she had imagined but had the tone of an ocarina.

The craftsmanship was unknown.

But she didn't care about that; all that mattered was that it was a gift from Gu Yu.

Even if it were just a useless ornament, she would treasure it.

"Your family is too powerful, managing to get such a large-scale fireworks display approved despite the ban!"

After their tender moment, Lin Xinyue, like a curious baby, inquired about the origins of this fireworks festivity.

How would Gu Yu know how it was achieved?

"Don't ask! If you ask, it's the system!"

He answered casually.

Lin Xinyue rolled her eyes at him and pouted, "Yes, yes, it's all done by the system. You're just like the male protagonist in a novel!"

She didn't want to argue about this topic with Gu Yu anymore.

After all, having experienced this event, she no longer cared about Gu Yu's family background or anything else.

As long as she knew that Gu Yu had never despised her, that was enough.

After all, Love is all about a hundred percent trust!

"I'm tired, let's go downstairs to sleep!"

After all that hassle, it was cold on the rooftop, and Lin Xinyue was struggling to bear it. She took Gu Yu's hand and headed for the stairs.

Gu Yu looked helpless, anyway, he had confessed everything he should have, and since Lin Xinyue didn't believe him, there was nothing he could do.

He even doubted that even if he had redeemed the Spider-Man suit, Lin Xinyue would just think it was some kind of new high-tech.

Forget it, let it be!

This was quite good, too. At least he had resolved the issues in their relationship.

While going downstairs, he secretly glanced at his phone balance—thankfully, it hadn't decreased.

It seemed the firework display was a gift from the system.

Otherwise, it probably would have cost him several millions, and wouldn't that have emptied out his entire savings?

Just as Gu Yu was privately rejoicing, thinking he had scored a bargain,

A message suddenly popped up on his phone.

"Firework display concluded, total expense 3 million, 2 million debited. Please pay the outstanding amount of 1 million promptly."

Gu Yu's pupils dilated!

Geez! 3 million!!!

A five-minute firework show had actually cost 10 million!?

Now he was truly drained of his entire fortune!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Upon checking again, the seven-figure balance in his Alipay account had indeed dwindled to mere scraps.

Not counting the money in his Ideal Paradise salary account, he now had less than ten thousand yuan to his name!

Just ten minutes earlier, he was a millionaire, and now he couldn't even scrape together ten thousand yuan!

This was outrageous!

He even wanted to call and scold the virtual assistant; this wasn't an assistant at all—it was a money-spending machine.

But he couldn't deny that the money was well spent; Lin Xinyue now felt completely secure.

Indeed, a sense of ceremony could often satisfy a girl.

Gu Yu felt like crying but no tears came; the money was already spent, and he could only silently accept the fact that he had become penniless.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Xinyue noticed his odd expression and asked with concern.

Although Gu Yu looked like he had just eaten a bitter melon, he shook his head: "Nothing."

"You said if you have something on your mind, you must tell me. If you have something on your mind, you must tell me too! Don't hide it!"

Lin Xinyue pinched his face, her tone slightly displeased.

Gu Yu laughed foolishly: "Would you believe me if I said I've become a pauper now?"

Lin Xinyue paused for a moment, then surprisingly nodded: "I believe you!"

"Why?" Gu Yu was somewhat taken aback, she actually believed him?

"Right now, I'll believe anything you say. Didn't you say you have a system? I believed that, so what's not to believe? Hahahaha!"

Lin Xinyue gave him a look then burst into loud laughter.

Seeing her suddenly hearty laughter, Gu Yu was truly at a loss.

No wonder the system never warned him; it had anticipated that Lin Xinyue would never believe him.

Then, should I be honest with Boss Pu and the others too...?

[Warning! Disclosing the existence of this system at will result in its automatic destruction!]

He hadn't finished his line of thought when a red subtitle appeared.

"..."

Gu Yu was speechless.

After parting with Lin Xinyue, the first thing he did when he got back to his room was to send the game testing demo of Summoning the Divine Dragon to Yu Xiaochuan.

This matter had been delayed for two days.

Mainly because it was only today that Yu Shutong had completed the final stage of testing.

That meant, as of today, Summoning the Divine Dragon was truly ready to go live.

After sending the game package, Gu Yu washed up and lay down to sleep.
