I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

The dolphin show was over, and Lin Zhou felt like he had just died.

It was publicly executed on a big screen, shoved by the audience, and certified as a sea dolphin by dolphins.

Why do I feel so tired?

When the group came out of the Dolphin Theater, their expressions varied. Ye Zhiyu didn't seem to feel much, looking down at her phone. Luo Xiaoke still had that cute, squinty-eyed look. As for Gu Yuning and Bai Wanwan, their eyes didn't seem to shine much, and they each looked at the floor to one side.

Especially Gu Yuning.

"..."

Gu Yuning kept looking at the dolphin pendant in her hand.

In the end, it seems that this was the only thing she got.

"Yu Ning?" Lin Zhou asked at this moment, "Are you alright?"

"It's okay," Gu Yuning said.

"Are you really okay?"

"real."

"Then why do you keep looking at the pendant?"

Gu Yuning paused for a second, then suddenly touched her chin, looking at it intently. "Hmm, I'm observing the workmanship."

"So that's how it is."

But the real Gu Yuning—

She inwardly screamed the same kind of cry as the roguish boss.

Ah~~~

Help! Why didn't I get anything?

Just as Lin Zhou was about to put the pendant into his bag, his phone suddenly vibrated.

A message popped up on the Heartbeat app. After seeing the new message, he took out his phone and glanced at it.

Lin Zhou was stunned for a moment.

Comprehensive physical repair?

Seeing this reward, Lin Zhou didn't hesitate at all.

Receive.

The moment I pressed down, a clear surge of heat spread from my chest.

Power... Powder!

They're surging up!

"Getting into it!"

It's like old gears have been re-oiled!

Lin Zhou first felt his breathing. In the past, when he took a deep breath, he would always feel a tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, as if half of his lungs were borrowed and could not be used casually.

But things are different now.

He tried to take a breath.

Air rushed in smoothly, filling my chest cavity completely. I could even smell the faint scent of seawater, popcorn, and the sweetness of the milk tea in Luo Xiaoke's hand near the aquarium exit.

Then come the legs.

The area where my leg was injured was still painful, but now it's much less painful, or even almost gone.

He took a step forward, leaning on his cane.

stable.

"I've become stronger!"

Lin Zhou subconsciously touched his hair. Very good!

Lin Zhou: "..."

Has the super weakling become a weakling?

Well, that seems to satisfy me.

It was almost evening when the group left the dolphin theater.

The aquarium's exit is a long glass corridor. The azure water, still reflecting the light of the daytime sun, is already bathed in the glow of the sunset.

A beautiful orange-red hue, now softly falling on the glass and everyone's shoulders.

Schools of fish swam overhead in the distance, their shadows stretched long by the setting sun. The blue water and golden sunset blended together, as if someone had superimposed the seabed and dusk into an illustration.

Lin Zhou stood in front of the exit and suddenly stopped.

Today is a complete mess.

Couple tickets, hugs, cookies, jellyfish hunting, science reading, dolphins, public execution.

But now, looking at their backs standing in the sunset, Lin Zhou felt that it wasn't so bad after all.

They were even very happy.

It seems... it's been a long time since we've all stood together like this.

Life has countless forks in the road, and with each choice we make, we drift further and further away from the friends around us. It seems that very few of us can stay together until the end.

Friendships are temporary.

At this moment, Bai Wanwan and the others walked to the exit, as if they suddenly realized that Lin Zhou had not followed.

So all four of them turned around at the same time.

The sunset shone from behind them, the wind blew their skirts and hair, and the light in the glass corridor flowed like water.

Luo Xiaoke was the first to extend her hand to him, her smile incredibly bright.

"Zhouzhou, let's go home~"

Ye Zhiyu also extended her hand to him, her tone still languid.

"Let's go, dolphin. Go home."

Gu Yuning looked at him, paused for a moment, and then extended her hand as well.

"It's getting late, time to go home."

Bai Wanwan finally reached out her hand.

She didn't say much, just quietly looked at Lin Zhou, her ears turning slightly red in the setting sun.

"Go home."

Lin Zhou stood still.

In that instant, it was as if four options truly appeared before his eyes.

[Holding Bai Wanwan's hand]

[Holding Luo Xiaoke's hand]

[Holding Gu Yuning's hand]

[Holding Ye Zhiyu's hand]

very dangerous.

very dangerous.

This is no longer a simple multiple-choice question.

If he chooses the wrong one, he'll probably become a real dolphin tonight, hanging at the entrance of a souvenir shop for people to see.

Lin Zhou took a deep breath and walked forward, leaning on his cane.

step.

Very stable.

Two steps.

It's still very stable.

He walked up to them, exhaled softly, and smiled. "I can walk by myself."

Four girls were looking at him at the same time.

Lin Zhou paused, then added.

"However, let's go back together."

Luo Xiaoke laughed even more happily.

Ye Zhiyu exclaimed, "Yoooooooo, escaping the choice, huh?"

Gu Yuning looked at his legs. "At least this time you're standing steadily."

Bai Wanwan looked down at her outstretched hand, paused for a moment, and then silently grabbed Lin Zhou's clothes.

Lin Zhou: "Wanwan?"

"Holding hands doesn't count as holding hands."

The sunset painted the steps at the entrance of the aquarium, and the five of them walked outside.

The dolphin pendant in Lin Zhou's hand swayed slightly.

Ding.

The sound was very faint and was quickly drowned out by the distant voices and the sound of the wind.

My phone vibrated again in my pocket—

[Aquarium Joint Mission: All Completed]

[Today's Log: Let's go home]

[Note: Some people, as they walk along, will eventually come together again.]

Lin Zhou stared at the words for a moment, then turned off his phone and looked up at the road ahead, which was dyed red by the sunset.

"I'm gone."

"Um."

Four girls' voices rang out in the twilight, "Let's go home."

……

After breaking up with them, Lin Zhou stood alone at his doorstep.

By the way, Xiaoyu has already gone home.

Looking at the ornament in his hand, Lin Zhou shook his head and opened the door.

"Brother, welcome home."

Lin Zhou was taken aback, then looked ahead and suddenly smiled.

"Yes, I'm back."
