The police siren faded into the distance, and the black Maybach also drove into the night.

The scandal’s full impact would take tto unfold. By the tOlivia and the others woke up tomorrow, they

would find far worse than tonight's nightmare awaiting them.

But as the backup plan she had arranged began to stir, eager to strike, Natasha could savor a fleeting moment

of victory, a brief, quiet triumph before the storm.

The driver dropped Natasha and Alexei off by the riverbank, then drove off to fetch a pile of grilled food and

drinks.

Although he couldn't understand the two’s down-to-earth preference, since they wanted a romantic experience,

he could only respect it.

Pedestrians were already sparse at this hour. Natasha led Alexei to a riverside lawn, and the wo sat directly on

the ground.

Before getting out of the car, Alexei brought his suit jacket. He could sit on the grass himself, out only after

laying his suit jacket on the other side did he let Natasha, who was wearing a iress, sit on it.

Without a doubt, this jacket, worth tens of thousands of dollars, would be ruined tomorrow.

Natasha looked at the suit jacket, then at his shirt and trousers that were so out of place for he setting, and

couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She said, “I thought with your cleanliness obsession, you'd refuse my offer.”

Facing her deliberate teasing, Alexei slightly raised his eyebrows, a rare sense of ease on his ace as he said,

“When | was rolling around in the jungle, you were still building sandcastles by the shore.

To survive, there was nothing he hadn't done. Blood and dirt were once the most familiar imells to him, and

cleanliness was merely a preference when conditions allowed.

Natasha nodded.

Alexei, though born into privilege, wasn’t pampered in his daily life. He was very self- sufficient, and aside from

being fastidious about his sleeping environment, he was almost the perfect companion.

She slowly shifted, moving her bottom to the edge of the suit jacket and leaving ample space, She then reached

out, hooked Alexei’s pinky finger, and chuckled. “But | don’t want you

sitting on the ground.”

‘My “little rose” had shed her thorns, becoming soft, delicate, and fragrant, Alexei thought happily. ‘She would

feel sorry for me, not wantingto go back and cook, and would obediently give up most of the seat for me.”

Alexei felt his fingertips tingling.

“Oh!” Natasha gasped, feeling her body suspended for a second. Then, she wasn’t sure how he had done it, but

suddenly he was sitting on the suit jacket and she was in his lap.

“Doesn't sitting like this save more space?” Alexei asked.

Warm breath fell on her neck, and Alexei’s voice was low and teasing.

Natasha stared wide-eyed and said, “Don’t say | didn’t warn you, and don’t blme if your clothes get stained

by the food later.”

Being pressed together is one thing,” Natasha thought. ‘But is this the right way to eat grilled food?’

Alexei paused his movements, then chuckled resignedly for a moment before pinching her cheek.

What a realist Natasha is,” he sighed in amusement.

Taking advantage of his long arms, he wrapped an arm around her and opened the takeout box in front of them.

Meanwhile, Natasha repeatedly tried to escape his embrace, watching him cautiously, afraid he might dirty her

dress.

Alexei smiled. ‘So who's the real clean freak here?’

But the more she tried to run, the more Alexei insisted on holding her tight in his embrace.

Alexei’s suit jacket, smooth beneath them at first, got twisted into a crumpled mess due to their struggle.

If the driver were still here, he would surely sigh with satisfaction. ‘Mr. Turner and his future wife are truly having

a good time!

Indeed, they even made ordering takeout fun.

Given the unique nature of the food, and after the lamb skewer nearly poked them, the two finally decided to

compromise.

Natasha told Alexei to sit upright on the suit jacket on the ground with his legs straight and together.

She patted his sturdy legs, then plopped down with satisfaction.

‘Excellent! We're sitting together, yet maintaining a distance, Natasha thought.

Alexei propped his hands behind his back, leaning back casually and letting her do as she pleased.

After Natasha sat down, he maliciously lifted one foot, raising her like a seesaw.

Then Natasha threw a minor tantrum.

A soft hand patted his leg, accompanied by a glare. “Alexei, don’t be childish.”

Alexei let out a soft, amused hum.

Perhaps after years of accumulated grievances finally cto light, Natasha was in a good mood today.

The driver thoughtfully bought drinks of various brands and flavors, and while eating grilled food, Natasha

enthusiastically and curiously unwrapped them.

She drank the good ones herself. As for the rest, she took a sip and tossed it to Alexei.

Alexei was like a bottomless pit when it cto drinking. He never got drunk, so he didn’t refuse any drinks she

handed him.

He was a diligent and responsible drinking companion.

By the tempty bottles and cans littered the lawn, Alexei gave another playful bounce to Natasha, who sat on

his lap, hands propping up her cheeks in a dopey grin.

“Very happy?” he asked.

Natasha slowly nodded heavily.

After a pause, she nodded again and stammered, “Yeah, happy. Well, they're so mean. They didn’t believe me.

And they forcedto delete the evidence. Bad guys!”

The mumbled words and childish complaints made Alexei realize the person sitting on his legs was truly drunk.

He sat up straight, pulled her closer, and coaxed her, “Alright, then we’ll beat up those bad guys, okay? No one

will be able to bully you again. Sweetie, no more drinks for us, okay?”

Natasha's face was flushed, her beautiful eyes hazy, her red lips moist, radiant as a flower.

She suddenly turned her face toward Alexei, giving him an unguarded, radiant smile.

It was breathtakingly beautiful in the night.

Alexei was stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, a pair of slender arms wrapped around his neck.

“Smack!” The loud kissing sound was particularly distinct in the quiet night.

Natasha giggled, hugging Alexei’s damp neck. “Alexei, you're a good man.”

Alexei’s gaze deepened. “So you just kiss anyone who's a good person?”

However, the half-drunk Natasha had no logic.

With another smack, she kissed his other cheek.

Natasha, chin resting on his chest, grinned mischievously at him. “Alexei, want to seedance?”

Alexei put his arm around her waist, raising an eyebrow slightly. “You said last tyou wanted to prepare

thoroughly.”

Natasha's eyes glazed over for a moment. “Huh?”

Then she quickly convinced herself, “Whatever, if | want to dance, I'll dance. Right now.”

As the only audience member, Alexei was denied the right to refuse.

He smiled, watching her dazed, yet she still remembered to take out her phone to play music. She was so groggy

that it took her a long tto get it right.

She wasn’t too drunk yet, and she swayed briefly when standing up, then quickly regained her balance.

Kicking off her high heels that were in the way, she walked barefoot ten feet away from him, standing right by

the river.

The background was a vast expanse of water, with the city lights on the other side. Under the colorful skyline,

Natasha, in a calf-length black dress, danced gracefully.

Her beauty was striking, her limbs stretched, and her skirt swirled.

What she danced was the complete version of “Tide Song,” the spiece Olivia performed

In the quiet dance stuthat afternoon, a delicate girl danced silently, freely, and passionately.

By then, “Tide Song” had already begun to take shape.

Rhea was surprised that such a young girl was already contemplating questions of life and death.

Natasha's talent and skill astounded her.

Out of appreciation for her talent, Rhea privately tutored Natasha several times, eventually considering taking

her on as her student.

“Tide Song” was their first and only collaborative work.

In Rhea’s opinion, if “Tide Song” had been successfully released back then, it might have been more highly

acclaimed than “Chasing the Wind.”

The emotions it conveyed were too intense and too profound, so much so that even viewers couldn't help but

shed tears.

Today, years later, Alexei was the sole audience, appreciating this masterful dance alone.

“Tide Song” was a celebration of life, yet it ended in death.

Her swirling skirt gradually lowered. As a breeze blew past, a smile of relief and peace appeared on her face. And

her eyes remained fixed in the sky.

Her life spent. She spread out her hands and let herself fall freely.

The moment she turned her back to the “sea” and was about to fall backward into the water, a
