Tang Mingchuan brought Lin Xi to the cinema.
He had heard that girls like to watch movies and eat with their boyfriends. Although Tang Mingchuan didn't feel much about these things and had never done them before, he thought that since Lin Xi was his girl, she should experience what others had.
"What kind of movie do you want to watch?" Tang Mingchuan asked Lin Xi as he held popcorn and strawberry juice in his hand, turning to look at the screen. Lin Xi was very serious about watching the movies. She loved watching movies, but she used to watch them with Bai Wei.
Both of them liked movies with a romantic plot, but Tang Mingchuan wasn't sure if Lin Xi would like it, so he chose a comedy.
Tang Mingchuan bought couple seats, which were spacious, and there were few people around.
As they entered the cinema, the dim environment made Lin Xi somewhat uncomfortable. Tang Mingchuan held her arm and led her to their seats. Sitting down, they left a large space between them, enough for another person.
Lin Xi rarely got so close to Tang Mingchuan, feeling a bit uneasy. However, Tang Mingchuan seemed to enjoy this atmosphere, with just the two of them. He played with Lin Xi's small hand.
Her hand was soft, and it felt good to hold it. Tang Mingchuan couldn't help but think how cute Lin Xi must be feeling with her cheeks blushing.
Lin Xi did indeed feel shy. Tang Mingchuan's touch seemed to have a magical effect on her; her hand became sweaty when he touched it.
To ease her nervousness, she occasionally picked up the strawberry juice beside her and took a sip.
"Are you... thirsty?" Tang Mingchuan asked Lin Xi softly as they leaned closer.
Lin Xi looked at Tang Mingchuan's handsome face and swallowed the juice with a loud "gulp," which sounded particularly loud.
Tang Mingchuan couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction. She was indeed very cute.
The movie's plot was good, with many funny moments. Lin Xi laughed so much that her eyes curved like crescent moons.
Tang Mingchuan watched her laughing profile. Lin Xi's laughter was so beautiful, and seeing her so happy made him smile involuntarily.
Having grown up in darkness, Tang Mingchuan felt that Lin Xi had brought light into his life. Suddenly, he had the thought of spending his life with her.
Living with someone as warm as Lin Xi for a lifetime probably wouldn't be boring at all, Tang Mingchuan thought to himself.
Tang Mingchuan leaned closer to Lin Xi, and when she noticed, they were already very close, their arms tightly pressed together.
The atmosphere had become ambiguous without them realizing it. Tang Mingchuan exuded a pleasant scent of mint. Although the theater was dimly lit, Lin Xi couldn't see the depth of Tang Mingchuan's eyes.
"Lin Xi..." Tang Mingchuan whispered her name. He only used her full name when he was angry or serious, which indicated that Tang Mingchuan was indeed serious this time.
His voice was deep, causing Lin Xi to blush even more.
Though they were boyfriend and girlfriend, they had only held hands before. The last time Tang Mingchuan got jealous and kissed her was just a brief touch on the cheek.
Lin Xi seemed to realize what Tang Mingchuan was about to do next, and her heart pounded wildly, her face feeling hot.
Tang Mingchuan held Lin Xi's small hand, feeling more sweat than before. It was obvious that Lin Xi was nervous.
Suppressing his desire, he didn't want to scare Lin Xi. Tang Mingchuan comfortingly stroked Lin Xi's head. "The movie is almost over. What would you like to eat later?"
"Aren't we going to continue?" Tang Mingchuan suddenly stopped his actions, and Lin Xi subconsciously asked, almost biting her tongue as she spoke.
Why am I so indiscreet!
Tang Mingchuan couldn't help but laugh at her cute appearance. "Little girl, let's wait for next time. I won't let you get away next time," Tang Mingchuan deliberately emphasized the last few words.
Lin Xi blushed and quietly drank her strawberry juice, not saying anything more.
The two of them walked out of the cinema holding hands, and Tang Mingchuan seemed to be in a very good mood.
Tang Mingchuan brought Lin Xi to a Japanese restaurant.
The restaurant was beautifully decorated in a pure Japanese style, with separate private rooms, each with tatami mats and many cherry blossom elements, which were very cute. Lin Xi flipped through the menu, and the prices were surprisingly high, just like the beautifully decorated place.
Tang Mingchuan was now fully capable of supporting himself and had earned a lot of money. During those years abroad, he had also saved up quite a bit.
His purpose was to break away from his father Tang Sheng's influence and have the ability to live independently. Tang Mingchuan had suffered a lot in the past, and now he had the ability to provide Lin Xi with better conditions. He would never let Lin Xi suffer like he had.
Tang Mingchuan checked a few items on the menu and handed it to the waiter.
When the food arrived, it was served in small Japanese plates, each dish looked very delicate.
"Go ahead and eat. I'm not sure what you like, so I just ordered randomly," Tang Mingchuan picked up a piece of sushi and put it on Lin Xi's plate.
The sushi had mango in it, giving it a unique taste with a hint of sweetness.
"It's pretty good," Lin Xi nodded as she ate.
Lin Xi was very focused when eating, puffing her cheeks like a hamster. Tang Mingchuan kept picking up food for Lin Xi.
He wanted to make her a little fatter so that she would feel better to the touch in the future.
...
It wasn't until evening that Chen Shi Yi came out of the hotel. She still looked a little pale from yesterday's ordeal.
Long Ge had promised her yesterday that he would find an opportunity to deal with Lin Xi in a few days.
"Lin Xi, the suffering I've endured, you won't escape it either," Chen Shi Yi gritted her teeth fiercely.
Lin Xi didn't return to the dorm until evening, carrying a bag of heavy snacks that Tang Mingchuan had bought for her.
Bai Wei's eyes lit up when she saw the snacks. "Your Mr. Tang's feeding program is going well. They're all delicious snacks."
Before bringing her back, Tang Mingchuan took her to the supermarket to shop, almost filling the cart without even looking at anything.
Lin Xi later had to stop Tang Mingchuan's frenzy of shopping .
"Could Tang Mingchuan be treating himself as a little piglet to raise?" Bai Wei didn't hold back and openly took out snacks from the bag to eat.
"Xixi, Professor Tang seems to be a very reserved person. How did he pursue you?" Bai Wei asked curiously, munching on potato chips.
Lin Xi had a blank emotional history, very naive. How did Tang Mingchuan manage to win her over?
Lin Xi thought carefully. The first time she met Tang Mingchuan, she gathered the courage to run out and give him an umbrella.
Perhaps everything was destined.
