On the second day of arriving in Rainbow Paradise.

The dawn in Rainbow Paradise came two hours later than the real world. By the time the sun had climbed over the horizon of Rainbow Paradise, it was already past seven in the morning. At that time, the liveliness and hustle began to slowly spread throughout the streets of Rainbow Paradise.

Woken up by the sound of footsteps and the sporadic laughter and chatter coming from the streets, Chen Hao, who was still in his dreams, was disturbed from his sleep.

Not wanting to disturb Ye Yuqiao, who was still deep in sleep beside him, he quietly got out of bed, gently dressed, and left the room.

Afterward, with a mix of curiosity and doubt in his heart, he walked alone onto the unfamiliar streets of Rainbow Paradise.

As soon as he stepped outside, an old man passing by greeted him, "Young man, hello, you must have arrived in Rainbow Paradise just last night, right? Welcome, you'll definitely have a good time here."

Seeing the old man's kindly smile, Chen Hao returned a smile and said, "Thank you, grandpa, I hope I have a good time here with your blessing. However, once the next rainbow appears, I will have to leave this place and return to where I came from."

Hearing Chen Hao say this, the old man laughed heartily at the sky and replied, "I came from the same place as you. When I first arrived here, I had the same thought, just wanting to return as soon as possible."

"Then why didn't you go back?" Chen Hao asked.

"Because it is too blissful here," the old man explained, "I have lived here for nineteen years; it's a place free from worries. I don't think anyone would refuse happiness. Young man, it's a stroke of luck to come here. Just feel the atmosphere, and I believe in a few days you'll fall in love with it, just like everyone else here."

Upon hearing the words 'free from worries,' Chen Hao immediately felt a strong aversion. He still firmly believed in last night's view that as long as one is human, one will inevitably have worries.

But since the old man was genuinely wishing him well, he did not wish to argue and instead changed the subject, "Grandpa, could you give me some money to use in Rainbow Paradise? I smell the aroma of baked bread and would really like to try some. But let me say in advance, I don't know if I'll have any money to repay you later."

The old man chuckled and waved his hand quickly, "Young man, you probably don't know yet, anything here in Rainbow Paradise doesn't cost money."

"No money!" Chen Hao was shocked, "Then how do the sellers make money?"

"People don't sell things for money here," the old man explained, "everyone does these things with a sense of honor in serving others."

"What if nobody wants to do it?" Chen Hao questioned, "For instance, if nobody is willing to plant rice, where will the rice come from? If nobody wants to work, where will the clothes come from?"

"January and July of each year are the labor months in Rainbow Paradise. During these two months, all people capable of working must participate in work. Production efficiency here is very high, and the goods produced within two months are enough for everyone to use for a full year. Hence, aside from these two months, everyone else enjoys leisurely times the rest of the year."

After talking for a bit more, the old man said farewell to Chen Hao and invited him to visit his home.

Then, following the scent of the baked bread, Chen Hao found a dessert shop. Just as the old man had said, eating there cost nothing, and the shop owner was extremely enthusiastic. Chen Hao could feel the owner's love and passion for his work.

However, even with the dessert shop owner's zeal, Chen Hao was still skeptical. He secretly activated his Nether Vision in his left eye, wanting to see if the owner was some kind of demon or ghost, but, to his disappointment, the owner was a perfectly normal person.

"What a strange feeling!" Chen Hao murmured to himself, ever vigilant and doubtful of Rainbow Paradise.

"Boyfriend, where did you go?" At that moment, Ye Yuqiao's lazy voice echoed in Chen Hao's mind.

"I'm just wandering around outside."

"Well, hurry back. Zhu'er has come to look for us."

"Alright!"

..

Night fell.

It was a sea of people on the stairs in front of the White Jade Hall of Rainbow Paradise. As in previous years, whenever newcomers arrived in Rainbow Paradise, the King would prepare a grand celebration ceremony, inviting all residents to attend and taking the opportunity to introduce the newcomers to everyone.

This year was somewhat different; the young King had also specially arranged a dance ball after the ceremony, to which the newcomers and a few representative residents were invited.

Although Zhu'er had sent the ball gowns early to the residence of Chen Hao and his company, only Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng appeared in full dress for the ceremony, whereas Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao opted for casual couple's shirts.

"Wow!" As soon as Ye Yuqiao appeared before the crowd, an earth-shattering gasp of awe erupted from the tens of thousands of people on the steps below, all captivated by her beauty.

But Ye Yuqiao stood behind Chen Hao, expressionless, holding tightly to his arm.

After the ceremony, Zhu'er guided Chen Hao and the others into the garden behind the White Jade Hall to join the King's ball.

Zhu'er, once again, asked Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao to change into formal attire, only to be rejected in the end.

When the King saw Ye Yuqiao in casual clothes and holding hands with Chen Hao as they entered the venue, his face filled with disappointment while a fire of anger ignited in his heart.

Still, his face remained composed.

After delivering a public speech, the ball began.

As the host, the King approached Tang Jing, who was dressed in a low-cut evening gown, and extended an invitation to her.

Tang Jing was delighted and surprised. Having taken a dance class at school for a year, she easily began to dance amidst the gazes of those around her, while her companions Tang Jing, Xie Xiaofeng, and Ye Yuqiao watched with great interest from the side.

After about fifteen minutes, when a piece of music concluded, the King escorted Tang Jing back to her friends and then reached out his hand to Ye Yuqiao. Although a faint smile was on his face, he was incredibly nervous inside.

A new piece of music started.

While everyone present was anticipating a dance between the King and the Heavenly Immortal-like Ye Yuqiao, she shook her head and said coldly, "I don't dance, and I don't accept invitations from any man other than my boyfriend."

The King smiled again and made a second inviting gesture to Ye Yuqiao.

Ye Yuqiao's expression darkened, and she put her hands behind her back, taking three steps back.

The King looked awkward, while Zhu'er went behind Ye Yuqiao, pushing her forward while saying, "Yuqiao, please, so many people are watching, don't put our King in such an awkward position."

Just then, Chen Hao shifted a step to the side, positioning himself between Ye Yuqiao and the King, then turned back to Zhu'er with a smile and said, "King, Miss Zhu'er, forcing people like this can infuriate them."

"This..." Zhu'er was at a loss for words, as she always felt an inexplicable fear towards Chen Hao.

"What a boring ball!" said Ye Yuqiao coldly.

Suddenly, the atmosphere turned extremely awkward.

Startled, the King withdrew his hand, abandoning the idea of inviting Ye Yuqiao to dance, and instead turned to a young woman standing nearby. Although he kept a smile on his face, a raging anger flared within him.

It wasn't long before Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao left early.

Watching the retreating figure of Ye Yuqiao, the young King felt very sad and lost. He was the most powerful person in Rainbow Paradise, where every girl treated him as a Prince Charming, and now he had been rejected. It was a very bad day for him, but this made him even more determined to win over Ye Yuqiao.

..

Time moved forward to four days later.

Over these days, Zhu'er, with Chen Hao and the others, visited many interesting and magical places in Rainbow Paradise, allowing the four to thoroughly experience the happiness of Rainbow Paradise.

Even though they genuinely felt the joy of life in Rainbow Paradise, Chen Hao always maintained skepticism, especially after he met Zhang Heng's girlfriend who had disappeared a year ago. In his opinion, if Zhang Heng's girlfriend truly loved him, she should have returned to the real world to find Zhang Heng when the seven-colored rainbow appeared a few days ago, instead of staying in Rainbow Paradise unwilling to leave.

What exactly was going on? Chen Hao could not figure it out and always felt as if everyone here had been brainwashed.

At noon, after having a free lunch, Zhu'er brought Chen Hao and the others to the only black house in Rainbow Paradise.

"Zhu'er, what is this house for?" Chen Hao asked, activating his Nether Vision in his left eye to look inside the black house. He saw a row of separated rooms, each with a kind-looking grandmother sitting inside.

"This is the Confession House," Zhu'er explained. "Every person who comes to Rainbow Paradise carries burdens from their past. This place is filled with compassionate grandmothers. If you have any worries or burdens, you can confide in them, and they will counsel you with their life experience."

After this, Zhu'er led everyone into the Confession House and arranged for each person to enter different rooms.

Inside the room with Chen Hao.

"Young man, do you have any troubles?" the grandmother sitting across from Chen Hao asked.

"I do!" Chen Hao nodded. "I think I'm too handsome."

"Hehe!" The grandmother was amused by Chen Hao and laughed before saying, "I can tell you're an optimistic young man who can usually handle his own problems. So tell grandma, do you have any wishes for the future?"

"To always be with my girlfriend."

The grandmother smiled and said, "That's a nice wish; I hope you can fulfill it someday."

"I definitely will!"

"Besides that wish, do you have any others?"

"If I tell you, will you help me achieve it?" Chen Hao asked in return.

The grandmother shook her head.

Chen Hao stood up, scoffing with a smile, "Grandma, thanks for your blessing, and I've really enjoyed chatting with you."

After Chen Hao left the room, the grandmother picked up her pen and wrote on the paper, "His heart's deepest wish is to one day resurrect his grandfather to fulfill his filial duty."
