Finally, the vehicle slowly drove back into the city.
Lin Feng and Susan got off the car in the city. It was still early, so the two decided to go shopping and have some late-night snacks.
In the world of young people, there was no such thing as resting too early.
"Mr. Lin! Please wait!" Happy opened the car door and called out to Lin Feng, who was about to leave.
"What's wrong? Happy?" Lin Feng turned around in confusion.
"That..." The fat Happy suddenly became a little shy. He bent over to get a poster and a pen from the passenger seat.
He handed it to Lin Feng with a hint of expectation. The poster showed Lin Feng in a Superman costume.
"Can you give me an autograph..." Happy shyly made his request.
"If you don't mind the trouble, I'd also like a photo together!"
My goodness, Susan, standing nearby, couldn't help but chuckle. She now knew Happy knew Lin Feng's identity.
"You've become a star, Lin!" Susan teased.
Lin Feng smiled helplessly at Susan and then said to Happy, "Of course, Happy."
With that said, Lin Feng removed the ring on his finger that he used to hide his identity, and a black battle suit encased his body.
His entire aura changed instantly, making him seem like a different person from when he wore the ring, astonishing both Happy and Susan.
Happy took out his phone. Lin Feng stepped forward and put his arm around Happy's shoulder. He was taller than Happy, so he slightly bent his knees.
"One, two, three... Say cheese..."
"Thank you, Mr. Superman!" Happy exclaimed excitedly.
"Oh no! It's Mr. Lin! I wish you a wonderful evening!" After getting the autograph and photo, Happy excitedly hugged Lin Feng, then drove off, drawing an 'S' as he sped away.
"What was Happy saying!" Lin Feng said with a bit of embarrassment as he changed out of the battle suit, put the ring back on, and transformed from Superman back into a regular boy next door.
"Oh! Lin, even though it's not the first time I've seen it."
"But without the battle suit, you look completely unlike Superman!" Susan exclaimed. "You have the same face, but why do I subconsciously feel like you're not Superman!"
"That's a secret!" Lin Feng said with a mysterious smile, touching his ring.
Then, Lin Feng extended his hand and invited, "So, beautiful Miss Susan, would you be interested in strolling through this city at night with me?"
Susan didn't speak, but a blush crept onto her face as she offered her small hand.
Under the night sky, New York was brightly lit, with cars weaving through the streets and street performers singing passionately on the sidewalks.
Lin Feng walked hand in hand with Susan, the soft, tender touch of her hand sending a flutter through Lin Feng, who had been single for twenty-one years.
Neither of them spoke, they simply walked, enjoying the ambiguous and wonderful atmosphere.
Unknowingly, they arrived at a small square.
In the distance, a street artist was singing a love song.
Couples stood hand in hand all over the square.
"Hey, mister, want to buy a flower for your girlfriend?"
A little girl in red, holding a bouquet of flowers, blocked Lin Feng's path.
Despite her young age, she had a keen eye. Couples who looked like they had just fallen in love usually wouldn't refuse her sales.
As expected, Lin Feng didn't refuse and bought a bunch of roses.
The little girl happily took the money and left.
Susan quietly accepted the flowers.
They stood in silence for a long time.
Lin Feng felt that the atmosphere was perfect, and it was time to make his move!
He turned around and looked at Susan.
"Hey! Susan..."
"Mm?" Susan looked up in response, then shyly lowered her head, staring at the roses.
"Look at me, Susan," Lin Feng's voice became slow and gentle, making Susan's heart skip a beat.
She looked up again, her eyes meeting his, which seemed to sparkle with light.
Looking at Susan's ethereal face under the lights, Lin Feng couldn't help but reach out and gently cup her cheek.
Susan's pupils trembled. She didn't resist, but her lips parted, a mix of confusion and shyness.
Her hesitant expression sent a jolt through Lin Feng.
"Will you be my girlfriend!" Lin Feng took a deep breath and slowly uttered the words, his voice like Cupid's arrow shooting straight into Susan's heart.
Susan lowered her head again, her bangs obscuring her eyes. Lin Feng couldn't see her expression.
Memories of Lin Feng flashed through Susan's mind. She clearly knew her feelings for this young man.
Strong, confident, sunny, but also sometimes clumsy. In the months they had spent together, Lin Feng had left an indelible mark on her heart.
Time seemed to stretch for a minute, or perhaps just a second.
Their eyes met again.
Susan's gaze was as clear and captivating as a lake in a spring forest.
She parted her lips slightly and uttered two words.
"Yes..."
In an instant, a wave of joy washed over Lin Feng.
Lin Feng felt that Susan's smile at that moment was incredibly beautiful.
"Yes!"
To Susan's delighted gasp, Lin Feng, having received his answer, couldn't help but pull her into a warm embrace.
Two young people, with no prior romantic experience, fell in love together at that moment...
Clap, clap, clap!
The sound of applause suddenly rang out, celebrating the couple who had just confirmed their relationship.
Lin Feng looked up, astonished to find that his confession had somehow attracted a crowd of onlookers.
"Young man, well done!"
"Congratulations, young couple!"
The onlookers who had gathered offered their blessings generously.
The sounds of applause and whistles mixed together.
The nearby busker, seeing the scene, began to play a congratulatory melody.
"Kiss her! Kiss her!"
The crowd cheered, their eyes, full of goodwill, fixed on the young couple.
Lin Feng looked down at Susan, who was shyly nestled in his arms.
Susan's eyes were filled with tenderness as she gazed at Lin Feng, a barely concealed smile on her face, as if waiting for him to make a move.
"Be brave, young man!"
Seeing that Lin Feng hadn't acted yet, the crowd cheered him on again, urging him to be courageous.
Lin Feng found it both amusing and exasperating, feeling as though they were more eager than he was.
Trying to calm himself again, Lin Feng slowly lowered his head towards Susan.
The distance between them narrowed, and the floral scent emanating from Susan filled Lin Feng's nostrils.
Lin Feng's unique masculine aura also subtly stirred Susan. She gently closed her eyes, as if awaiting a sacred ritual, anticipating that moment.
So close, their heartbeats synchronized, racing together at that instant.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, only a millimeter separated their lips!
However, in the next second, something unexpected happened!
