At first, Liu Yun wanted to struggle, but gradually, she realized more and more eyes were falling on the two of them. This situation made her even more embarrassed.
At this, Liu Yun bit her lip and could only stop struggling, forced to let the young man hold her in his arms.
Feeling the strong heartbeat of the youth, an indescribable, strange sensation welled up in her heart…
Fortunately, this didn’t last too long, as they soon arrived at their stop.
After getting off the bus, Liu Yun took a deep breath, glanced at the proud-looking youth beside her, glared at him, gave a light humph, and walked ahead.
Lin Xiu followed behind, quite satisfied, his mind replaying the recent sensation of softness and the lingering, plum blossom-like fragrance unique to this woman.
The two then scanned their tickets and entered the zoo. Yun City’s zoo was quite unique—not only did it create all sorts of simulated environments for every animal, but the variety was complete, even having giant pandas.
Lin Xiu quickly caught up with Liu Yun, walking side by side with her.
Liu Yun wanted to quicken her pace, but the youth always managed to keep up. After a while, she could only helplessly slow down.
In truth, Liu Yun had never been to the zoo either. She simply hadn’t been interested before, but now that she was here for once, she didn’t want to waste the visit sulking with the youth.
“Yun-jie, do you think these ostriches look like you?”
At this moment, Lin Xiu pointed at a few ostriches and said this to Liu Yun.
They looked quite intimidating, but as long as someone stood firm, this woman would become like an ostrich, deceiving herself.
Liu Yun was stunned at his words, immediately retorting with displeasure.
“No, not at all!”
These creatures looked so silly—was she that dumb?
Lin Xiu nodded in agreement.
“Mm, definitely not. Yun-jie’s looks are way above those ostriches.”
Liu Yun gave a light snort and crossed her arms.
“Don’t think that just by complimenting me, I’ll forgive you for what you did on the bus.”
Not only did he hug her, his hands were out of line, too…
Lin Xiu was a little helpless. Glancing at a nearby vending machine, he snapped his fingers.
“Yun-jie, wait a moment.”
With that, the youth quickly bought two bottles of water from the machine and handed one to her attentively.
“Yun-jie, you must be thirsty. Have some water, cool off a bit.”
Seeing the youth’s earnest gaze, Liu Yun was momentarily dazed. Then she turned her head aside slightly, warning,
“No more touching me!”
Lin Xiu’s eyes flashed with amusement. He then opened the bottle and brought it to Liu Yun’s red lips.
“Come on, Yun-jie, let me feed you.”
Liu Yun was stunned, then glanced at the passing tourists nearby, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed and flustered.
“No need, just give me the water.”
She reached to take the bottle from the youth’s hand, only to see him withdraw it, leaving her grasp empty.
Liu Yun looked at the youth in confusion, only to hear him say solemnly,
“That won’t do, Yun-jie. This is my apology water, asking for your forgiveness. If you don’t accept it, doesn’t that mean you’re still mad at me?”
Liu Yun was speechless at this.
“Heh, forget it then.”
She prepared to leave, but then heard the youth’s gentle voice behind her.
“If Yun-jie won’t accept, then I’ll have to do something even more outrageous later to earn your forgiveness. Don’t blame me for being troublesome, Yun-jie.”
“You!”
Liu Yun turned back in annoyance. Was this guy threatening her?
The youth only shrugged and smiled wordlessly.
Liu Yun gritted her teeth in anger, but after staring at him for over ten seconds, she still reluctantly turned around.
Seeing this, Lin Xiu smiled even more, and handed the opened bottle of water to this queenly lady.
Liu Yun hesitated, then tucked away a loose strand of hair and leaned forward to drink from the bottle.
Lin Xiu’s heart began to beat faster at the sight. Looking at her like this, she really did resemble a pet—the contrast between her mature allure and adorable charm was practically criminal.
Just then, a young couple passed by. The girl couldn’t help sighing enviously at the scene.
“So romantic! Dear, when will you be this sweet to me?”
The couple walked off playfully, but the words landed in Liu Yun’s ears, making her face burn as if on fire. She hurriedly lifted her head.
“I—I’m done drinking.”
With that, she turned and walked off quickly. Indeed, she wasn’t much different from an ostrich.
Lin Xiu shook his head with a smile and quickly caught up.
After this, Lin Xiu felt that, at least, this woman no longer saw him as the enemy.
The two wandered the zoo for a long time, seeing all sorts of animals—adorable giant pandas, cute little foxes, leisurely giraffes…
But when they passed a group of monkeys scratching their ears and cheeks, Liu Yun couldn’t help feeling they resembled Lin Xiu. She even chuckled,
“Stand over there. I’ll take a picture of you with your companions.”
Lin Xiu wasn’t angry at all. Seeing Liu Yun so enthusiastic, he made a goofy face, letting her capture the moment with her phone…
By the time the two left the zoo, it was already noon.
Lin Xiu spoke up.
“Yun-jie, let’s go eat.”
Liu Yun nodded. After wandering so long, she was indeed hungry.
Seeing her agree, Lin Xiu quickly picked up his phone and began searching for a restaurant with a romantic atmosphere.
Liu Yun glanced at him and immediately knew what he was planning. She cut him off before he could speak.
“We’re eating here.”
Lin Xiu looked in the direction she pointed and was momentarily stunned.
“Keng Jiji, a fast food place?”
Liu Yun nodded, then said,
“Any problem? I haven’t had fast food in ages. Once in a while is fine.”
Hearing her say this, Lin Xiu could only agree helplessly.
After lunch, Lin Xiu went back to plotting his plan and suggested,
“Yun-jie, let’s go see a movie?”
Liu Yun sneered when she heard this.
Did this guy really think that by using these typical date routines, she would fall for him? Ridiculous.
But even though she knew his tactics would have no effect, she still nodded. Since she was out already, watching a movie at the cinema was much more fun than at home.
As for this guy, she’d just ignore him.
The two then headed for the cinema. This time, Lin Xiu didn’t suggest taking the crowded bus—he simply hailed a cab.
Of course, all expenses so far had been paid by Liu Yun, which made her feel like a father treating his child…
They chose a sci-fi movie called , which had been crazily hyped before release and touted as an epic masterpiece!
Lin Xiu was full of anticipation for it, and Liu Yun was curious too, so they bought tickets.
