After trying again, Xiu Ying and Chenle finally completed their experiment. They high fived and giggled together, ending with Xiu Ying planting a kiss onto his cheek.

The group of friends squealed, and shouted "GO DATE ALREADY!"

They would love to, but their love life is confusing so they should clear this up first. They're not trying to though, or more like they don't want to. Why? Because they're scared. Truth be told, they still don't know who to choose.

For now, decision making will have to wait. The two got ready for their night meeting, feeling a tinge of excitement. It started to feel like a date rather than a robbing adventure.

Leaning on the wall, Xiu Ying waited for her ride and also hopefully, her die.

"Been waiting for me, darling?", Chenle stopped his bike in front of her, taking her hand and pressing a kiss on it reminding the two of their first meeting.

"You're finally here, baby", she linked her arms around his neck, head tilted as they gazed into each other's eyes.

"Let's not take long, shall we?", taking her hand they both stay seated onto his bike. As soon as he was about to start, he turned around to face her.

"Do you want to rob anything tonight?"

"Honestly? Not really"

"Just what I wanted to hear, perfect", without another word he started his bike and finally rode away.

After a bit of ridin, they finally reached a familiar area.

"Isn't this..."

"The same cliff? Yeah, this is actually the spot I go to whenever I feel troubled", leaning on his bike, he looked over the view as always. "You're the first and last person to know about this place, by the way. Feel special about it"

"You make me feel special~", she sang playfully.

"I'm glad to have met you, Rosie", he said out of the blue.

She smiled. "Me too"

They didn't stay for long, they ended up getting onto the road again. Not planning to stay still, they rode through the night on the roads enjoying the peaceful night.

Xiu Ying sighed contently, and nudged her face on the back of the boy. "I want it to be like this forever"

Feeling a hand grasp hers, a calm voice spoke. "Trust me, I want it too"

"Feeling no fear, feeling free, feeling peaceful. This is how I would love to live life. Live life especially with you, actually"

"Mhm", he hummed in response. It was short and left her feeling unsastified, but let it go anyways. It would be such a waste to ruin a beautiful night ride.

Chenle kept his focus on the road, but occasionally thought about the whole plan he has. It made him feel like a nervous wreck, but he thought about this for so long. He wasn't going to let the chance slip anymore. Especially what happened the night before? He doesn't want to lose this.

Reaching the rooftop parking of a building, he checked for any cameras and surroundings before finally coming face to face with the girl.

He gulped, hands clammy.

"Can I do something?"

Xiu Ying covered herself. "What are you thinking, huh? You checked everywhere too, to make sure no one was watching us. So suspicious indeed"

"Yeah, uhm it's nothing like that"

Xiu Ying put her hands down, feeling nervous with the atmosphere all of a sudden.

"Rosie...let's stop this"
