It didn’t take long for two burly guards to carry Bing Shi’s parents before the silent couple. One would question who took upon the role of parents at this moment. Her father was still shaking from the cold shower, while her mother clutched her damp clothes, which got wet while she was trying to separate the guards from her husband.

Before they could complain about the bad treatment, Bing Shi placed a tablet on the table, turning the screen in their direction, “Now that both of you have been ‘cleaned’, let me show you what I see whenever you two argue.” She pressed the play button on her tablet while Xuan Mu chuckled in amusement, “I have a few questions. Is this what you meant by: You can’t keep a clean reputation with a dirty character?”

The whole time, her parents begged Bing Shi and Xuan Mu to stop it, but the guards forced them to watch the entire video of them fighting and arguing with each other. If this video ever leaked out, their reputation would be ravaged and everyone would laugh at them!

“I don’t know about you, but...” Bing Shi paused the video, “...I feel a bit embarrassed,” then she pressed the play button again.

.....

“...” What could they say?!?! No matter what, from that day onwards, they would be unable to shake off the shame and embarrassment they felt at that moment, “Bing Shi, immediately delete it!”

When the video finally ended, both Xuan Mu and Bing Shi stood up and made a polite bow toward her parents, surprising them with her next words, “I’m keeping the video, to remind myself, to never act like that with Xuan Mu. Mother, father, thank you for teaching us.”

“...” Bing Shi’s parents wanted to burrow themselves under the ground. They didn’t know whether they should be angry at their daughter for pulling such a prank on them or be proud that she was learning life lessons by herself.

The captain’s announcement interrupted their family gathering, “Ladies and gentlemen, buckle your seatbelt, please. For security reasons, we’ve been ordered by the military to land on their aircraft carrier.”

In the middle of the black sea, on a military aircraft carrier with a flight deck...

Her parents hugged each other, fearing for their life when they saw all the scary looking soldiers surrounding them. While they were carried inside the ship, they saw how most of the soldiers saluted respectfully towards Xuan Mu, calming them a bit.

Xuan Mu invested lots of money in foreign countries, not speaking about all the research institutes around the world, from healthcare, agriculture to science. The name of the mysterious young man in all black slowly craved itself into people’s hearts.

‘Virtual reality, here we come ??.’

While waiting for her parents, Bing Shi caught an innocent victim, a ship technician who could answer her questions about the construction of the ship.

After her parent’s health was checked, they changed into a smaller, more simple aircraft.

4000 m above the sea... 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

Her mother cried out when her husband was carried before the door by two soldiers, “What are you doing? You can’t! Bing Shi, where is Xuan Mu?!”

The soldiers opened the door of the plane, causing a sudden rush of frigid wind to pass through the entrance. A bright moon shined upon their smirking faces as they showed her father the grey clouds and black spots of the sea below them.

Seeing the eerily dark scene, her father’s hair lifted on his nape and arms. Shaking uncontrollably, he grabbed a nearby soldier, who continuously leaned him over the entrance, begging him to stop.

“Xuan Mu is busy,” Bing Shi said with a gleeful smile.

“Bing Shi, I’m sorry. I beg you.....” Her father pleaded. But out of nowhere, he felt a strong kick on his back and a loud woman’s shriek.

He was really kicked out of a plane!

Poof! Just like that, her father vanished!

After kicking her father, Xuan Mu swiftly jumped right after and put a hook around her father’s bindings. Skydiving under the black heavens and white-gold moon, a pair of canine teeth gleamed in between his smiling lips, creating a slight dimple on his cheek. His brain processed everything that happened, and thanks to the adrenaline rush, he was able to take in more information and see, feel, hear, taste, and smell everything that was around him more clearly.

Her mother almost fainted when she saw her daughter recording everything on her vlog camera, and started to shake Bing Shi’s shoulders like a madman, “You two are crazy! What if something happens?!”

“Mum, It’s a special day. Let him have his fun.” With an innocent smile, Bing Shi repeated her mother’s words when her father asked for a drink. If it weren’t for her mother’s bad health, she would be kicked by Xuan Mu too, “Xuan Mu is teaching dad a lesson called: What happens when future in-laws hurt Xuan Mu’s future wife,” she continued with a giggle, “Mum calm down. Dad can’t be the only one having fun. In the future, be sure to have fun together.”

Getting the hidden meaning behind her words, her mother stopped shaking her shoulder and quietly stood next to her daughter.

When Bing Shi landed on the aircraft carrier, she quickly ran towards the drenched Xuan Mu, while her mother ran towards her husband who could barely stand. Her father’s face was as white as a sheet of paper.

Xuan Mu his lips turned slightly blue from the icy cold water, “A chilly hug?”

Bing Shi put a thick blanket over his sturdy body, “Too handsome to be hugged.” She took his cold hand and warmed them up with her hot breath, rubbing them back and forth with her fingers, “Thank you. ”

“Anything for you.”

Seeing the overexaggerated shaking of his body, she immediately hugged him over the blanket and began to jump on the spot together with him to warm up his whole body, “One more time? I want to try it too. Please? I won’t catch a cold, I promise.”

“No, no, no, and no,” Xuan Mu answered with laughter. His enormous wealth came at its price. He had to worry about everything, Bing Shi, stock fluctuations, hyperinflation, global problems...everything. Though pressure and stress could help him achieve extraordinary performance, he still had to think about the consequences of his actions.

He had to make smart money decisions under great pressure, after all, people’s lives and futures were in his hands. Bing Shi helped him to cope with it. Freefalls felt awesome, yes, but the after-effects together with the thought that someone like Bing Shi belonged to him, felt even better.

Her parent’s relationship changed from that day onwards. During the flight back, they were too ashamed to face the young couple. They walked towards the bedroom and talked about the things which happened during a single day, about life and about themselves as a couple.

Bing Shi and Xuan Mu fell asleep separately, each occupied one couch.
