Saturday, 10:00 AM sharp.
Ling Xian had just woken up and was about to wash his face when a splitting headache suddenly struck him.
If you thought it was just from lack of sleep, you'd be dead wrong.
This was his danger-sensing ability.
Usually, the more severe the headache, the greater the impending disaster. But for Ling Xian, it was merely an irritating itch, devoid of actual pain.
Moderate headache, danger alert: Four stars. Meteorite warning. Probability: 43%
Annoying headache, danger alert: Five stars. Earth's destruction. Probability: 15%
Future-seeing headache, probability: 1%: Galaxy's destruction.
0.001%: The entire universe.
The last time he experienced a moderate headache was during the dragon invasion, though he hadn't yet grasped its significance then.
Now, he could directly gauge the severity of a crisis by the intensity of his headache.
Ling Xian glanced out the window. The sun shone brightly in a clear blue sky, and Earth continued its rotation... On such a tranquil weekend, what could possibly destroy it?
He took a deep breath.
A tranquil weekend...
After brushing his teeth and changing out of his cat-patterned pajamas, he went downstairs and sat at the dining table. Ling Ma handed his son breakfast: two eggs, pancakes, and sausage. A standard breakfast.
Father Ling handed Ling Xian a newly purchased fork.
He glanced at his son and said, "Don't break this one..."
Ling Xian nodded and took the fork. Just as he was about to start eating, his father added, "Hurry up. A man can't be late."
Ling Xian froze, staring at his father.
Father Ling adjusted his monocle. "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you know? There's a black sedan waiting outside."
Ling Xian stammered, "I..."
Mother Ling joined them at the table, her face beaming with delight. "My son is so charming!"
Father Ling pulled out several natural rubber condoms and slid the box toward his son. "Take these. They're optional, but remember to use them properly. I don't want to have a conflict with her father..."
Ling Xian: "..." Dafaq?! I'm not irresponsible!
Suddenly, a psychic wave of overwhelming mental pressure violently shook the entire house and the entire neighborhood!
Dating is usually something couples do and enjoy... but for Ling Xian, it was nothing but a colossal nuisance!
When he realized she was waiting for him, he was completely stunned!
How did she find my address?
Does everyone know about this?!
Could this be the reason for the splitting headache and the danger alarm?!
Danger level: three and a half stars...
It seems the odds are completely against me...
But what was the true purpose behind this invitation? It had come so suddenly.
This was a major event that would thrust him into the spotlight!
For instance, the news would first spread through Phoenix Ridge High School at Shuyuan District No. 73, then ripple to neighboring schools, and eventually—likely sweep across the entire school district!
He glanced at Mother Ling beside him, wondering what she thought.
Mother Ling's heart swelled with indescribable pride. For such a highborn young lady to show favor to her humble son was clear proof of Ling Xian's exceptional talent!
His father shared her sentiment wholeheartedly. Well done son!
After weighing these crucial factors, Mother Ling would never let this opportunity slip away. "Prepare yourself properly and spend more time with her! Otherwise, you can forget about ever eating Little Panda ever again, do you hear me?!"
Ling Xian: "..." Fine, fine, I'll go, goddamn...
Either way, he would become the center of attention, so his choice ultimately didn't matter...
If he accepted, he would gain massive exposure; if he refused, while still drawing attention, he would become the laughingstock of the school.
Faced with this dilemma, Ling Xian found himself in a psychological bind...
This wasn't something that could be resolved with a simple refusal.
The real challenge for Ling Xian was how to handle this situation with composure.
✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙
After getting into the car, Su Xinyi seemed particularly cheerful.
She had put in a tremendous effort to research his interests and favorite snacks!
For one and a half weeks, she had worked tirelessly, all for the sake of earning his approval. And now, he had actually appeared!
✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙
As Ling Xian settled into the car, a mix of emotions swirled within him.
How did I end up in the top class, traveling with the goddess herself? What's going on? This completely throws off my plans!
Ling Xian had never anticipated such a turn of events. They were actually going on a trip together!
The luxury sedan roared to life, its wheels spinning as it pulled away from the Ling Family villa.
As the car sped along, Ling Xian watched his house shrink into the distance. He couldn't help but wonder: Should I move now...?
No! This place is perfectly quiet! Damn it, and the mountain views are breathtaking!
If he focused his divine sense, he could teleport the entire house to any location he desired...
"So, Ling Xian, where would you like to go?"
Ling Xian shook his head.
"We could go to Starfall Park! My father reserved the entire park for us today!"
Ling Xian was surprised by her dedication.
"Alright," he replied curtly, offering no further comment.
Su Xinyi nodded and turned to the driver. "Very well! Butler Shen, please take us to Starfall Park!"
"As you command, Madam," Butler Shen replied respectfully, immediately setting course for their destination.
✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙ ✮⋆˙
As the car came to a smooth stop, two bodyguards emerged from the rear compartment and opened the luxurious sedan doors for Ling Xian and Su Xinyi.
Ling Xian gazed at the imposing castle before him, inwardly marveling. Holy shit! This place is unbelievably extravagant!
"This is the theme park my father invested in! That's why we have it all to ourselves today!" Su Xinyi explained.
"Mm-hmm," Ling Xian murmured.
"Let's have some fun!" Su Xinyi grabbed his hand and tugged him toward the entrance. The two dashed inside.
Ling Xian's body trembled at the sudden contact—this was unmistakably holding hands!
The way she gripped his hand flashed through his mind. It was nice and... warm...
In short, this Saturday morning... was far from peaceful!
