Chapter 120: The Legend of the Ferris Wheel

【Ding: Congratulations, Host! You solved a suicide case… Reward: Skill – Spirit of the Raccoon Cat!】

Damn, don’t you ever sleep, system?

Xiao Yu blinked awake.

Even though the case was solved, there was still plenty of work ahead.

As the main contributor, the grunt work was definitely not going to involve Xiao Yu.

Not even in the middle of the night.

Meanwhile, the colleagues at the Criminal Investigation Team were still burning the midnight oil to finish up… Finished already?

In the dark of night.

A playful smile curved Xiao Yu’s lips as he nestled into Mu Qingwu’s arms…

How strange.

Is it that every guy turns into this once he has that special someone?

Do they gradually lose their smarts, becoming childlike when they’re with the one they love?

What’s even more curious is that when you act like a child,

the woman who loves you almost becomes like a little mom!

Anyway, Xiao Yu never quite figured it out—it all just felt magical.

After a long sleep.

After planting a kiss on his still-sleeping sister, Xiao Yu tiptoed into the bathroom.

Spirit of the Raccoon Cat… Activate!

Having gained a new skill, he just had to try it out.

Then… Xiao Yu discovered he was floating.

He was truly airborne!

In an instant, he felt his body become incredibly light and nimble.

He landed with a bounce, making not a sound.

With his newfound flexibility, Xiao Yu effortlessly pulled off a full split.

The strangest part was that he sensed something different about himself.

He turned to the mirror above the sink.

There he saw a tall, statuesque figure with a well-toned, muscular build—exuding the charm of a strong man.

It was flawless in its chaos; even Xiao Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit drool-worthy.

He then realized that his sister hadn’t been drawn to him by his dazzling looks.

She was eyeing his physique… Xiao Yu stroked his chin, nodding.

Yeah, that must be it!

Buoyed by his own excitement, Xiao Yu finished his routine and went to make breakfast.

Mu Qingwu had promised to cook for him from now on, yet she hadn’t kept her word.

And his promise to pick her up from work looked just as unlikely.

What a relief—it evened things out!

While humming and preparing breakfast, a figure quietly approached, though Xiao Yu pretended not to notice.

Until he felt an arm wrap around his waist—Mu Qingwu, like a sneaky cat, clinging to her little brother, unwilling to budge.

“Heading to work today?”

Xiao Yu asked with a smile as he fried an egg.

“Not at all.”

Mu Qingwu’s lazy, refined tone drifted from behind him: “Captain Zhao said you get a day off to keep him company!”

“Sis, how about letting your little brother treat you even better in the future?”

Xiao Yu plated the fried egg and grinned mischievously, “I’ll pamper you, love you, and spoil you rotten… give you all the delicious food!”

“Ha.”

Mu Qingwu giggled sweetly, “I’d like that.”

“Then come on.”

Xiao Yu cracked a second egg into the pan, laughing, “If you call me ‘good little bro,’ I’ll be the best little brother in the world to you. How’s that for a deal?”

“Haha!”

Mu Qingwu burst into giggles, “No, you’re a bad little brother!”

“Tch!”

Xiao Yu smirked as he continued frying, “In this fast-paced world, I doubt I’ll last many years in your heart.”

“Who said that?”

Mu Qingwu wrapped her arms tight around her brother’s waist, “As long as you’re sweet and obedient, you’ll be in my heart for more than just a few years!”

“That sounds wonderful.”

Xiao Yu beamed, his eyes dancing, “Since I’m being so good, let the good little brother have his say.”

“No!”

Mu Qingwu’s face nestled against his back as she smiled coyly, “You’re just a bad little brother!”

“Alright then—bad little brother it is.”

Xiao Yu sighed, “After breakfast, shall we go out and have some fun?”

They hadn’t really had quality time together yet…

“Where to?” Mu Qingwu asked curiously.

“You’ll know when we get there.”

Turning his head, he kissed her delicate lips and whispered, “It’s a secret!”

After their meal, the couple donned matching outfits.

It was the same set Xiao Yu had picked out during his last day off—while shopping with Mom, the mother-in-law, and sis.

In Mu Qingwu’s words, the clothes were a bit childish!

So the little Miss Yu had sworn never to wear them.

But alas, she still hadn’t learned how to say no to her pitiful little brother.

Thus, the couple, dressed in matching outfits, stepped out with sweet smiles and headed straight for the amusement park…

Mu Qingwu covered her face as she stepped into the park.

Imagine this:

0… begging for flowers…

A beauty, regal as a queen, commanding like a boss, and refined as a lady, walked into the park.

Wasn’t that a glamorous vibe?

Xiao Yu had been itching to do exactly that!

Then, the couple went wild at the park.

They didn’t care about prying eyes or opinions.

After all, neither Xiao Yu nor Mu Qingwu lived for the sake of others’ expectations.

For them, life was all about savoring the moment…

Night on the Ferris Wheel.

The couple, snug and close, gazed at the glittering city skyline.

From high above, the dazzling city lights sparkled brilliantly like…

“Sis, have you ever heard the legend of the Ferris Wheel?”

Xiao Yu, holding his beloved close, asked softly.

“What legend?” Mu Qingwu murmured gently.

………

“Legend has it that lovers who ride the Ferris Wheel together eventually break up…”

Xiao Yu said earnestly, “But when the wheel reaches its peak, if you share a kiss with your lover, you’ll embark on an endless journey, never to part!”

“Why?”

A dreamy glow danced in Mu Qingwu’s eyes.

“Because…”

Lowering his head, Xiao Yu kissed his sister’s forehead, “In this legend, every Ferris Wheel cabin brims with happiness and a love that lasts until death!”

They say a tender heart is the most sought-after beauty in the world.

Yet Xiao Yu longed to see her age gracefully as they grew old together.

Until the final day when they closed their eyes, they would always hold hands.

A promise was made…

No endless cycles—just a reunion in the next life!

“Will it come true?”

At the moment Mu Qingwu’s flawless face lit up, she stared longingly at Xiao Yu, her eyes twinkling like stars.

Gazing at him, her sparkling eyes filled with tender, dreamy affection.

“Mm!”

Xiao Yu nodded emphatically, “It will, without a doubt!”

The Ferris Wheel climbed to its summit as if to prove his words.

Xiao Yu kissed Mu Qingwu’s lips…

Mu Qingwu closed her eyes, smiling softly.

If your dream is to catch bad guys and save the world,

then my dream… is solely you!
