Hiss—!
The sharp hiss of bubbling liquid filled the air, startling Chen Yiyi.
Chen Mo's eyes widened in shock.
Inside the bottle, the dark liquid swirled violently, releasing a steady stream of bubbles that surged upward. The fizzing sound was almost alive, like a potion on the verge of boiling over.
Chen Yiyi swallowed nervously, glancing at Luo Chuan with suspicion. "Senior… are you sure this is drinkable?"
She couldn't be blamed for doubting it—this Coke looked far too similar to some highly toxic concoctions found in the wild.
Luo Chuan, for once, offered an explanation. "It's not poisonous."
Chen Mo, though still wary, nodded. "Junior Sister, if Senior says it's safe, then it should be fine."
He had already chosen to trust this mysterious figure, at least for now.
"Alright…"
Chen Yiyi took a deep breath, clenched her teeth, and shut her eyes before taking a large gulp.
The moment the dark liquid touched her tongue, her eyes snapped open.
---
A strange, exhilarating sensation spread through her mouth—tiny bubbles bursting against her tongue like a thousand stars flickering into existence.
The coolness hit first, sharp and refreshing, like drinking melted snow from a mountain peak.
Then, a rush of sweetness and spice, an indescribable fizzing dance of flavor that sent a thrilling chill down her spine.
Her breath hitched.
Her chest tingled.
Her heart soared.
"Too cold… my heart is flying!"
She had never experienced anything like this before!
Chen Mo, despite his earlier trust, had remained slightly cautious.
After all, they had only met Luo Chuan minutes ago—hardly enough time to understand a person's true nature.
Yet, watching Chen Yiyi's expressions shift from shock to delight stirred an undeniable curiosity within him.
Could it really be that good?
He couldn't help but ask, "Junior Sister… how do you feel?"
Chen Yiyi's eyes sparkled as she turned to him excitedly. "Brother! This is amazing! I've never tasted anything this wonderful before!"
Luo Chuan, standing calmly to the side, remained unfazed.
He had expected this.
Every new customer at Origin Mall had the same reaction to their first sip of Coke.
Chen Mo swallowed hard. His curiosity had now transformed into something more—a desire to try it himself.
But for now, he focused on something else.
"Then hurry up and finish it. Senior said it'll help you heal."
"Okay!"
Without hesitation, Chen Yiyi eagerly drank the rest.
---
She had never imagined that a healing potion could taste this good!
The last drop disappeared down her throat, and a satisfied sigh escaped her lips.
"Hic—!"
A small hiccup slipped out, and she instantly covered her mouth, her face turning pink with embarrassment.
She had almost forgotten she wasn't alone!
But just as she was about to brush it off, a sudden realization struck her.
Her eyes widened.
"Huh? My injury… it's gone?!"
She lifted her arm in disbelief.
Chen Mo stiffened. "What? That's impossible!"
But Chen Yiyi's excitement didn't waver. "Brother, I'm serious! Look!"
With hurried hands, she unwrapped the bandages covering her forearm.
Underneath, her skin was flawless, smooth, and unblemished—not even the faintest scar remained.
Chen Mo's breath caught in his throat. "That can't be…"
He knew how bad the injury had been.
The wound had gone deep—down to the bone.
Even with powerful pills, recovery should have taken days, if not weeks.
Yet now?
It had healed in mere minutes.
Completely.
Perfectly.
No lingering pain. No trace of injury.
Chen Mo took a step back, his mind reeling. "This… this is like a miracle! A divine potion!"
Luo Chuan, arms crossed, remained indifferent.
To him, it was just ordinary Coke doing its job.
