Chapter 258 A Memorable First Date (2)

Chapter 258 A Memorable First Date (2)

On the rooftop of the dormitory building, Vander put down the leopard spyglass, turned around and announced, "After careful observation, I have come to the conclusion that those two are probably going out on a date."

Qingye and Qingxia both gasped. Qingye was shocked and said, "It's actually a date!"

Qing Xia was also shocked: "What is a date?"

"Sorry, I forgot you have no common sense. It's just that kind of..." Qingye organized his words, "A talented man and a beautiful woman in a melon field! Do you understand?"

"Oh, I see." Qingxia nodded. "That is to say, it is a necessary preparatory process for reproduction. After coaxing the woman into submission, you carry her into the house and spend the night together."

"There are some very serious problems with understanding, but we can't say that there are any mistakes in the general direction."

Qingxia watched the two of them riding away, sighed and shook her head. "I don't think this will work, Xiaoye. Chu Hengkong's plan is terrible. He's already made the date feel like a story from a Chinese Studio from the very beginning. The subsequent initiative is completely in Ji Huaisu's hands. There's no way we'll get laid at this rate."

"Although the wording is problematic, I generally support your point of view." Qing Ye thought, "In this case... I can't just sit back and do nothing!"

"OAO must help them!"

The two women bumped fists, their eyes ablaze with fighting spirit. Watching from the sidelines, Finder felt like the only sane stone statue in a world gone mad.

"Sorry to bother you." Vander's eyes were fixed. "If I understand correctly, you two seem to be interested in me too."

"I didn't!" Qing Ye objected loudly.

"Then Ji Huaisu is your love rival? Shouldn't you two be making things difficult for their dates? But now you are so full of fighting spirit... and decide to support your rival's date?" Vander felt that he couldn't move his eyes.

Qingxia picked up Fan De and said earnestly, "Fander, they are a perfect match, talented and beautiful. How can you, an eye demon, object to it..."

"It's none of my business. I'm talking to you guys."

"Anyone who interferes with love will be kicked by a horse!" Qing Ye said seriously, "Besides, we are comrades-in-arms and close friends who share life and death. A woman who hinders her partner is a bitch. People can't be bitches, right!"

"Xiaoye, your thoughts and awareness are so noble! You shine in my eyes!" Vander exclaimed.

Qingxia grinned and rubbed her hands (her movements were quite spider-like): "Besides, everything should be returned. If we help Ji Huaisu now, when we go on a date with Chu Hengkong in the future, Ji Huaisu will have no reason to stop us. This is a win-win situation~"

"This side is full of dirty schemes, you pervert." Vander's eyes were lifeless. "Is this what love is all about? Is there something wrong with my common sense?"

"You are too narrow-minded~" Qingxia spread her wings, "Hurry up, we must think of a solution quickly! We must make sure Chu Hengkong successfully climbs into Ji Huaisu's bed!"

"Oh oh!" Qingye laughed excitedly.

On the outskirts of the swamp, Inspector Chu, who was riding his bicycle, shuddered and a cold sweat broke out on his back. This kind of direct intuitive warning was rare, as if a group of people were planning to assassinate him.

But after scanning the inside and outside several times, he found nothing suspicious. The Immortal Machine also calculated it several times and said it was an illusion. He looked around, trying to find a clue, when the girl next to him bumped into him hard: "Hey, what are you looking at?"

"Someone wants to plot against me." Chu Hengkong said seriously.

Ji Huaisu burst out laughing and made a popsicle to stick on the front wheel of the bicycle: "I will plot against you now."

"Please don't damage public property." Chu Hengkong lifted the front wheel helplessly, "Hey, get out of the way!"

The bicycle stood upright, dodging the popsicle. Ji Huaisu casually threw the prop, and the popsicle dissipated into mist, spreading in the gentle warm sunshine.

Under the sunlight, the moist grass spread out like a picture scroll. A winding country road, hidden among the tender green, stretched out into the distant jungle where ancient trees stood. Ji Huaisu let go of the handlebars and cheered, "This is the place to go on a weekend morning~"

Chu Hengkong was listless: "My original plan was to go to the Water Curtain Theater..."

"Damn it, Inspector, please check the weather forecast before planning your date. It would be a waste to sit in a dark water curtain theater on such a nice Saturday. We should go for an outing." Ji Huaisu said.

"But I read in books that movie theaters are suitable for dating," said Chu Hengkong.

Ji Huaisu came over and blinked: "Why?"

"because--"

Chu Hengkong was stuck. He just remembered that the book recommended movie theaters because they were dark and could help people get closer. If they watched horror movies, girls would scream and pull boys' hands.

But Inspector Ji didn't seem like a delicate, flower-like beauty, but rather a passionate Allied soldier. Could any horror movie really scare her? Even before heading to the Despair Wilderness, she herself was a nightmare in the swamp. They'd ridden for so long without seeing anyone because the locals were all hiding from the Knights of Disaster!

He had no choice but to make up an answer: "Because it's easier to get closer in the dark."

Ji Huaisu's mouth twitched: "Akong, I really didn't realize you were such a little boy before."

"I'm just trying what the book says." Chu Hengkong said expressionlessly, "Actually, I'd rather go to an amusement park or an aquarium, but Huilong City doesn't have any of those."

"As for the amusement park... I heard from my dad that there's a very famous amusement park in Jingsha City-State! There are card games, wooden racing cars, Ferris wheels and the like. We can have a lot of fun if we have the chance to go there." Ji Huaisu was eager to try.

"Is the amusement park fun?" Chu Hengkong asked. He had never been to an amusement park before. His boss wasn't interested in such places, and he had never killed anyone in an amusement park during a mission.

"I've never been there either, so I'm interested," Ji Huaisu said. "You know what Huilong City was like before. We had almost no time for entertainment. For example, I haven't seen many water screen movies since they came out. If there are good movies, I might change my mind."

At this time, the two drove into the forest. Ji Huaisu looked at him with a smile, and Chu Hengkong was stuck again.

What does this mean? Didn't you bring up the outing in the first place? Why are you now talking about movies? Are you suggesting he should stick with the original plan? Are you accusing him of being too swayed by the woman and lacking in resolve? Is he being insincere and saying whatever he says? Or is it just a casual remark? Or did you regret it because it was boring? You actually don't want to go out on a date, but are you looking for an excuse to make a fuss?

In his limited sample library, once a date is arranged, everything will basically go smoothly and naturally...but this kind of dating is not mentioned in novels, movies or games!

While he was thinking, Ji Huaisu jumped off his bicycle and began to circle the ancient tree. He completely gave up imitating the woman's thinking and said in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Ji Huaisu jumped over and grabbed his head with both hands.

"What I mean is, we should choose a place that everyone is interested in for our date!" The girl grinned. "If the water curtain show is interesting, we'll go to the theater. If not, we'll just go according to everyone's interests. The most important thing is that everyone has fun. Let's not think about so many irrelevant things, okay?"

"Oh, I see." Chu Hengkong realized that he wasn't looking for trouble, and immediately felt relieved. He said naturally, "It's up to you from now on. I'm always happy to hang out with you."

"Damn, you suddenly say that... Akong, you are actually a veteran, right..." Ji Huaisu said in a low voice.

She turned her head away, her face flushed for some unknown reason. Chu Hengkong was baffled, thinking that this amount of exercise wouldn't be enough to increase the heat and speed up the blood circulation. Could it be that Captain Ji had taken a short vacation and regressed?

"You should find time to fight a few times these two days. Your skills are important." He said caringly.

"Akong, shut up." Ji Huaisu sighed heavily, "What are we going to do after the outing is over?"

"Ah?" Chu Hengkong was bewildered. "You're asking me?"

Ji Huaisu smiled: "Didn't you make a plan~~?"

Chu Hengkong decided to give up on trying to understand. All the previous encounters had proven the futility of trying to understand women's thinking. He pulled out a slip of paper and read, "According to the plan, we'll see the first water curtain show at 9:30. Afterward, at 11:30, we'll walk ten minutes to the restaurant I've reserved. After dinner, we'll go to the workshop area to do some crafts and do some shopping. I've reserved a new glass mansion. If the weather's good, we'll have afternoon tea. Afterward, we can go tide fishing, and in the evening, we'll go boating in the center of the lake to watch the sunset."

"Wow, you actually made a serious plan!" Ji Huaisu exclaimed, "Amazing, Akong, I didn't expect you to have made so many preparations."

"I've always been serious." Chu Hengkong said confidently.

He had the capital to be confident, because what he had said before were all basic contingency plans. Considering that unexpected situations often occurred, he also made several sets of backup plans, which even included how to deal with being called to catch a criminal in the middle of a date.

To ensure the date went smoothly, he prepared all the plans entirely on his own, without asking anyone for help. He knew full well how outrageous his comrades could be in their daily lives. His own plans might at best be dismissed as boring, but if even one of those people got involved, the date would inevitably turn into a disaster. This was the worst-case scenario that needed to be avoided!

Fortunately, Fan De is not interested in this matter... Qing Xia Qing Ye has no reason to get involved...

"It's almost time. Since you've booked a restaurant, let's go eat first." Ji Huaisu said with a smile. "By the way, Chief Inspector, with all the preparations you've made, have you considered how to deal with the current situation?"

"Of course I...what?"

A gloomy fog obscured the sunlight. The mist seeped through the leaves like water, and the obscured trees looked like towering ghosts. Before I knew it, the surroundings were pitch dark, and the previously bright forest now looked like a backdrop in the wilderness.

Chu Hengkong's confident expression froze on his face like an OLED burn-in screen, and the communication crystal in his pocket vibrated violently.

Ji Huaisu took it out for him and pressed it with a smile.

"Oh no, Mr. Chu!" a girl from the Canxin clan nervously called out, "I heard there's been a strange fog in the forests of the Bize District lately. If a man or woman walks in, they have to hold hands to leave. Please be careful and avoid that area!"

Ji Huaisu turned off the communication, put his hands behind his back, and said in a long tone: "It can be seen that you have made a lot of preparations, Akong~~~"

Chu Hengkong covered his face in silence, experiencing the feeling of being on the verge of collapse. He had never before understood so deeply the feelings of the Guangshi ancestors far away on Shura Island, because at this moment, his heart rang with the same cry as the old men and women when they discovered that Miansheng had been stolen.

——Guang Shi Qingye you bastard ahh ...
