The question left both of them hesitating. Secrets are the most fragile parts of a person's heart and can test each other's trust the most.
Nezha lowered his head and pondered for a long time before finally writing: "I fear that one day I will lose control of the power within me, the Demon Sphere Power, and hurt you and others."
Ao Bing wrote: "I fear that the Dragon Tribe's lifespan is much longer than that of humans, which means one day I will watch you grow old while I remain young."
The answers appeared on the scroll, and both were shocked by each other's secrets. Nezha never expected that Ao Bing's greatest concern was their difference in lifespan; meanwhile, it was the first time Ao Bing learned of Nezha's deep fear regarding his own abilities.
The scroll continued to roll, revealing the final question: "If fate were to separate you, how would you choose?"
This was the hardest question, and both fell into deep thought. Nezha looked at Ao Bing's profile, recalling the pain of longing over the past month; Ao Bing remembered every night in the Dragon Palace when he missed Nezha.
In the end, Nezha wrote: "I would break fate and do everything possible to find my way back to you."
Ao Bing wrote: "I would wait and seek the possibility of reunion because I believe true love cannot be defeated by fate."
The moment their answers appeared, the scroll emitted a dazzling golden light, like a small sun floating in the air. The golden light gradually condensed into two golden bracelets that fell into their hands.
The bracelets were engraved with mysterious runes, with a sparkling gem set in the center—one red and one blue, representing their respective attributes.
"Through the Trust Test, you have obtained the Time-Space Bracelet," read the text on the scroll. "Those who truly commit to each other may use this item to briefly transcend time and space and meet in dreams."
Both were overjoyed; this meant that even if Ao Bing returned to the Dragon Palace, they could still meet in dreams!
"That's wonderful!" Nezha exclaimed as he excitedly hugged Ao Bing. "This way we won't have to be completely apart!"
Ao Bing nodded with a smile. "Yes, at least in dreams, we can still see each other."
The scroll floated in midair as the final words slowly appeared: "Trust Test has been passed. Sacrifice Test awaits its moment. True Love's Trial will eventually come."
Then, like smoke, the scroll dissipated, leaving only the Time-Space Bracelets in their hands to witness this magical moment.
The fireworks in the night sky continued to dazzle, and the celebrating crowd remained loud, but for Nezha and Ao Bing, it felt as if only they existed in this world.
"Ao Bing," Nezha said seriously as he looked at the blue-haired boy before him, "no matter how many trials await us in the future, I will face them with you. We will surely create our own miracle and find a way to be together forever."
Ao Bing nodded, his eyes filled with determination. "I believe that too, Nezha. No matter how great the gap between the Dragon Tribe and humans is or how fate plays tricks on us, our hearts will always be connected."
They exchanged smiles and instinctively put on their Time-Space Bracelets. The gems on the bracelets began to glow immediately, warm energy flowing through their bodies as if sealing their vows with a sacred mark.
In the night sky, the most brilliant fireworks erupted at that moment, casting golden light across the entire campus. Against this glorious backdrop, Nezha gently wrapped his arms around Ao Bing's waist and kissed him deeply on his lips.
The kiss was no longer shy like before; it was filled with determination and promise. The surrounding clamor seemed to fade away, leaving only the sound of their heartbeats, steady and strong like a drumbeat.
After a long moment, they parted, their foreheads touching, their eyes filled with anticipation for the future.
"Happy New Year, Ao Bing."
"Happy New Year, Nezha."
Under the dazzling fireworks, the two young souls clung to each other tightly, welcoming the new year and the unknown yet hopeful future ahead.
