Identity refreshed randomly, talents maxed out instantly.

"Come on, let's raise our glasses and toast to Xu An and Jiang Xiyan's safe return!" Old Cat raised his glass.

Besides Xu An and his group, Tang Feng and his teammates were also present.

"Cheers!"

Everyone downed their drinks in one gulp.

Tang Feng looked at Xu An and said with emotion, "To be honest, Xu An, although you described the process quite easily, we can all imagine the dangers involved."

"As a diving rescuer in Du'an, I am well aware of the complexities of the Peach Blossom Skylight underwater."

"Not to mention that this was done when the water was muddied by torrential rain."

"I feel like your experience could be made into a movie."

"Old Han, don't you think so?"

Tang Feng raised his head towards the old cat.

Old Cat nodded in deep agreement: "You were able to bring Jiang Xiyan back safely; luck was only part of it."

"The most important thing is your personal ability, your ability to respond underwater and handle situations calmly."

Old Cat didn't hold back his praise for Xu An.

Little did people know that even though he was extremely familiar with the Peach Blossom Skylight and was the top cave diver in China with extensive experience, he couldn't find Jiang Xiyan when he went down there, and even sentenced them both to death.

As it turned out, the two of them returned safely!

Xu An smiled and said, "You flatter me."

"It's not an exaggeration at all," the old cat shook his head.

"Xu An, you are the most talented diver I have ever seen. Your talent surpasses mine," Old Cat affirmed.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.

Who is Old Cat?

He is widely recognized as the number one cave diving expert in China!

Xu An is the first person to receive such high praise from him.

This is like Qian Xuesen personally telling a young person who has just learned calculus, "You are very talented, even more talented than me."

You can imagine how valuable it is.

The dinner party ended.

Everyone went back to their own homes and to their own mothers.

Having drunk quite a bit, Xu An called a designated driver.

Back at the hotel, his mouth was parched, so he grabbed a bottle of mineral water and started gulping it down.

Perhaps it was due to the fish's constitution, but Xu An's alcohol tolerance had increased significantly.

I walked to the window; the downpour was still going on.

The weather forecast says it will continue to rain for the next period of time.

Du'an has experienced heavy summer rainfall.

Gazing at the neon lights shining through the downpour, the raindrops pattering against the window, adding a blurry filter to the lights.

"Bang bang bang".

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Xu An turned to open the door and was slightly taken aback when he saw the person at the door.

"Is it convenient?" Jiang Xiyan asked, wearing a loose white t-shirt, her hands behind her back, a smile on her lips.

"Come in." Xu An stepped aside.

Jiang Xiyan walked into the room with her hands behind her back, looked around, and unceremoniously plopped down on the edge of the bed.

After closing the door, Xu An took two steps forward and looked at her: "What do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiyan immediately straightened her back and stared intently at him with her beautiful eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Xu An asked, touching his face in confusion.

Jiang Xiyan shook her head and looked at him very seriously: "I came here specifically to thank you."

"Thank you for risking your life to save me. If it weren't for you, I would have died in the water."

"It's alright, aren't we friends?" Xu An smiled. "I don't have the habit of standing by and watching someone die."

"This isn't about being friends," Jiang Xiyan shook her head. "Xu An, I want to ask you a question. Can you answer me truthfully?"

"Go ahead and ask."

"I've already heard from Yingying that Brother Cat told you to go up after you relieved the pressure, but you chose to come down to find me. I want to ask you, aren't you afraid of dying? You're just a newbie, didn't you think about what would happen if you got lost down there and lost your life?"

"It seems like you have more than one question," Xu An said with a smile, changing the subject.

"Answer me first." Jiang Xiyan looked at him earnestly with her big, dark eyes.

"Alright, alright." Xu An seemed to have no other choice and waved his hand casually.

"I didn't think that much at the time. I was just thinking that you were in danger, and that more people meant more strength. Besides, you heard what Old Cat said. I'm very talented, so I didn't think I would die. That's what you call being skilled and daring."

"Xu An," Jiang Xiyan suddenly spoke.

"what?"

"Why are you so far away from me? Come sit here." Jiang Xiyan patted the edge of her bed.

Xu An subconsciously sensed something was off; she had been being a little too gentle.

"It's okay, I'll stand here for a bit. You can tell me what's on your mind."

Since Xu An isn't coming over, she'll go to him.

She stood up and walked towards Xu An.

Jiang Xiyan had also drunk some wine tonight, and a blush appeared on her delicate cheeks, adding to her playful and cute appearance.

As she approached, especially when she met her intense gaze, Xu An involuntarily took two steps back.

"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Xiyan asked, staring intently at him.

"Really?" For some reason, Xu An's heart suddenly started racing and his palms started sweating.

Especially when he saw the other person's watery eyes staring at him, Xu An was already overwhelmed by just a simple glance.

Xu An was forced against the wall, and Jiang Xiyan was less than a meter away from him.

Seeing Xu An's somewhat bewildered expression, Jiang Xiyan suddenly felt like laughing.

"Hey, Xu An," Jiang Xiyan said, taking a step forward.

"what?"

Xu An's gaze met Jiang Xiyan's.

The next second, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and Jiang Xiyan came closer.

The distance between the two instantly disappeared.

The moment their lips met, Xu An's eyes snapped open, her hands pressed against the wall, and her fingers instinctively clenched tightly.

A unique, youthful fragrance filled his nostrils.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a soft touch.

Seeing Xu An looking like a frightened little wife, a mischievous glint flashed in Jiang Xiyan's eyes, and a sense of smugness welled up in her heart.

Before she could make a further move, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Bang bang bang".

Just moments ago, Jiang Xiyan was smug and triumphant, but now, like a punctured balloon, she hastily retreated, as if she had been caught cheating, and was completely flustered.

She turned her head and looked around for a place to hide.

"Under the bed, hide under the bed." Xu An's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said.

Jiang Xiyan hurriedly lay down and crawled under the bed.

Just then, Zhang Su's voice came from outside the door: "Xu An, are you asleep? I have something I want to talk to you about."

Xu An glanced at Jiang Xiyan to see if she was hidden properly, wiped his mouth, and quickly went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Zhang Su was seen standing at the doorway.

"What's wrong?" Xu An asked.

"Would it be convenient to go inside and talk?" Zhang Su asked.

"Come in," Xu An said, gesturing for him to enter before closing the door again.

Jiang Xiyan, hiding under the bed, watched Zhang Su's approaching feet, covered her mouth with both hands, held her breath, and dared not make a sound.

"Sit down." Xu An brought over a stool and gestured for him to sit.

Zhang Su said "thank you" and plopped down on the floor.

"Is there something you need?" Xu An asked again, feeling inexplicably nervous at the thought of Jiang Xiyan under the bed.

It's like having an affair, and then the real person suddenly shows up.

"I came here specifically to thank you," Zhang Su said.

Why does this sentence sound so familiar?

Before Xu An could speak, Zhang Su continued, "Thank you for saving tide Yan. I thank you on tide Yan's behalf."

As he spoke, he took out his phone. "Open your payment QR code."

Because Zhang Su had always disliked Xu An, the two did not add each other on WeChat.

"Hmm?" Xu An frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Let me express my gratitude for saving Xiyan," Zhang Su replied.

"No need, I don't need your money." Xu An said, but for some reason, he thought of Jiang Xiyan's actions earlier and almost blurted out: Jiang Xiyan thanked him personally earlier.
