He let out a sigh and said, “Let’s not talk about that anymore, let’s eat.”

“Don’t change the subject.”

“Alright, alright, I got it.

Let’s not talk about that.

Try the buns here; they’re really good.

By the way, are you busy today?”

Su Mo took out a bun for himself to eat, and didn’t forget to stuff one directly into Lin Zinuo’s mouth.

Lin Zinuo took a bite and replied, “Not too bad, I’m free for now.

If there’s anything, they’ll call me.

I’m on The Crane Orchid in Star Ring, and The Crane Orchid is currently traveling with the main fleet.

Why the sudden question?”

As Su Mo ate, he replied, “It’s rare for you to come over, so I have to show some hospitality as a host and take you around nearby.”

Lin Zinuo’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, not expecting that Su Mo would accompany her.

“Really?”

“You don’t need to get so excited, okay?”

“Then let’s hurry up and eat so we can go out and play.

Where are you taking me?”

“Uh, let’s just walk around.”

Su Mo was a bit troubled; although he had lived in Demon City for so long, he had actually never left the old city district.

Demon City was pretty much a foreign city to him.

“Great, but do you need to ask for time off at the internet cafe?

Wouldn’t it affect your work?

Wait, you’re so rich, why would you even work at an internet cafe?”

Lin Zinuo joyfully agreed, not caring where Su Mo took her.

As long as he was willing to accompany her, it was fine.

“Actually, that internet cafe is kinda mine, in partnership with an uncle.”

Su Mo responded with a smile.

“I knew something was off.

A person as rich as you would never go work like that.

Let’s get going then.”

Lin Zinuo replied cheerfully.

“Cough cough, no rush, let’s go after we eat.”

“Why not eat while we walk….”

….

Shortly after, Su Mo and Lin Zinuo were sitting on a public railcar heading to the city center.

Lin Zinuo looked at Su Mo with lines on her face.

“Su Mo, how should I even begin to tease you?

You’re more or less a millionaire.”

“I am,” he admitted freely.

“You really don’t have a car?”

“I do, isn’t it in the display case?”

“Ah~ I’m talking about cars, you know?”

“Oh~ no, I don’t like driving.

It’s too much trouble, especially the regular maintenance, and I don’t really like going out anyway.”

Su Mo gave a rather peculiar reason.

Lin Zinuo rolled her eyes at Su Mo, her disdain confined to just that, as none of his odd behaviors surprised her anymore.

“Dear passengers, we will soon arrive at the City Center Park station.

Please prepare to disembark if this is your stop.”

The sweet voice of the announcement came through.

Su Mo thought for a moment and suggested, “How about we get off here?

It should be a bit more fun.”

He really couldn’t think of anywhere fun.

In Su Mo’s eyes, there was little fun to be had anywhere.

If he had to be honest about a fun place, it would be Star Ring.

However, Su Mo did have some emotional intelligence, knowing that people like Lin Zinuo treated Star Ring as work rather than enjoyment.

If he suggested Star Ring was fun, he would probably be ridiculed endlessly.

“Sure.”

Lin Zinuo nodded in agreement.

The public railcar soon stopped and Lin Zinuo happily pulled Su Mo off the car.

They arrived at the entrance of the City Center Park, and although the park wasn’t very big, it was filled with all-natural greenery and was quite pleasing to the eye.

The two of them walked inside, where there were quite a few visitors, mostly young people.

Along the way, everyone was laughing and having fun, full of vitality and energy.

As Su Mo and Lin Zinuo walked along the path, they drew quite a bit of attention as well.

“That girl is so beautiful.”

“Not just that, that guy is really handsome too.”

….

“I have to say, Demon City’s infrastructure is really not bad at all, definitely on par with Imperial City.”

Lin Zinuo looked around appreciatively and commented.

Su Mo thought for a moment and replied, “The economy here has always been quite good, and the public security is pretty good too.”

“Indeed, it’s pretty nice, I’m starting to like it here,” Su Mo said.

Lin Zinuo flashed a brilliant smile and happily ran toward the small trail through the woods in the park.

“Wait for me,” Su Mo called out, a bit startled.

“Catch me if you can,” Lin Zinuo said without forgetting to turn around and wave at Su Mo, the soft sunlight shining on her, her sleek, long black hair fluttering in the wind.

With no choice, Su Mo could only chase after her.

They entered the woods, where golden yellow leaves continuously floated down, landing on the path paved with bluestone.

Lin Zinuo led Su Mo on a whimsical run through the artificial forest, both of them having a great time.

It wasn’t until a little later that Lin Zinuo finally stopped.

“Take a break for a moment,” Su Mo suggested, catching up and speaking in an exasperated tone.

“No, the trees on that hillside over there are beautiful.

Let’s pick some leaves to keep as souvenirs,” Lin Zinuo said.

“Wait, it’s not allowed to pick leaves here,” Su Mo warned.

“It’s fine, we just need to run quickly later,” Lin Zinuo assured him, as excited and happy as a child.

With that, she pulled Su Mo to the right, climbed the bluestone steps, and they arrived in front of the largest maple tree.

“Maybe we shouldn’t?

That tree is so tall,” Su Mo said, coughing.

“Su Mo, crouch down,” Lin Zinuo instructed.

“Huh?”

“Crouch down!”

Subconsciously, he crouched down, and just as he did, Lin Zinuo flashed a mischievous smile and hopped onto Su Mo’s neck.

“You…”

“What ‘you’?

Come on, get up.

You promised to play with me today, and I’m the boss…,” Lin Zinuo reminded him.

“Alright…” Su Mo gave in and stood up.

Lin Zinuo joyfully picked the golden yellow leaves from the tree.

“Are you done…” Su Mo asked impatiently.

“Just a bit longer, almost there.

Move a bit to the right.

The leaves are better over there, yes, just a bit more to the right…” Lin Zinuo directed.

“…Could you hurry up?” Su Mo complained, though his body honestly cooperated, and after all, Lin Zinuo wasn’t very heavy.

Just as they were thoroughly enjoying themselves, a shout came from a distance.

“What are you doing?

Stop right now,” a voice called out.

Lin Zinuo looked back to see a security guard rushing toward them.

Excitedly, she said to Su Mo, “Run, Su Mo, run!”

Su Mo wore a resigned expression.

“How can I if you don’t get down?”

“I can’t run anymore, carry me on your back; don’t worry about that, just run!

Otherwise, we’ll get caught…” Lin Zinuo urged.

…

Speechless, Su Mo had no choice but to carry Lin Zinuo and run.

Lin Zinuo still excitedly waved to the security guard in the distance.

“Take it easy, Uncle, don’t hurt your back,” she called out.

…

“Stop right there…” the guard continued.

…

But it was to no avail; Su Mo was in excellent physical shape and quickly put distance between them, even while carrying Lin Zinuo.

A moment later, they arrived at an artificial lake, where the water was glistening and the banks were lined with willow trees, the scenery stunningly beautiful.

There were quite a few people gathered around, enjoying themselves.

There, Su Mo set Lin Zinuo down, took a long breath, and said somewhat helplessly,

“Happy now?”
