Chapter 96: Frankly speaking - Back to being 18, I became rich by spending money

Wen Yan was lying on the bed, flipping through a book on her mobile phone, looking for any piano lessons suitable for her in Xinyang. She really wanted to enrich herself and not waste her time in this life.

But after searching around, she found that there was no useful information on it. Many of the people on it were "socialites" and there was too much water in it. Wen Yan gave up completely and decided to go find someone to ask.

The next day was Sunday. Wen Yan got up early in the morning, packed up, took a shower, and put on some delicate makeup. She didn't wear a skirt because it was not very convenient to wear a skirt to the playground. The T-shirt inside, the shorts underneath, and the jacket were all bought together before. The store directly matched them together. Wen Yan thought they looked good, so she bought them all and paired them with a pair of AJs. Wen Yan looked at the lively girl in the mirror and couldn't help but praise herself. Wow, she is really a young and beautiful girl.

After glancing at the watch, they agreed to go to the cafeteria for breakfast at 9 o'clock before driving to the amusement park. Wen Yan carried a small shoulder bag with makeup touch-ups and some basic documents in it.

Meng Qinghe was already waiting downstairs. On weekend mornings, everyone was asleep in the dorms, so there weren't many people on campus at this time. He was used to getting up early to run, and today he'd deliberately gotten up a little late, at 8 a.m. After his run, he went back home to shower and get ready before going downstairs to eat with Wen Yan.

The two of them went to the cafeteria hand in hand. Meng Qinghe went to buy the food, and Wen Yan sat at her seat waiting for him to bring it over.

After a simple meal, Meng Qinghe looked very comfortable while eating. Every move he made showed that he had received a good upbringing. Wen Yan observed her boyfriend while eating and suddenly asked, "Qinghe, let me ask you a question. What do you like about me?"

While eating, Meng Qinghe listened to the questions that girlfriends all over the world would ask. He did not give her a casual answer, but thought carefully and seriously before looking her in the eye. "Actually, the so-called love, in academic terms, is actually the rapid secretion of dopamine in a specific environment, which leads to excitement. In fact, for you and me, it was love at first sight at the beginning.

Some studies suggest that love at first sight may be the result of a combination of dopamine and adrenaline, with two people reacting to each other's sudden appearance in a situation, a phenomenon known psychologically as the 'suspension bridge reaction.' This creates the feeling of love at first sight."

After a pause, he continued, "Maybe it's because of the influence my parents had on me. I don't really believe in love at first sight. I prefer to believe in love that grows over time. But after meeting you, I had a feeling that 'you' were the one.' I then tried to get to know you through forums, interviews, and so on. If, from what I've learned, you were someone whose values differed from mine in every aspect, then I don't think there would have been any story between us."

Meng Qinghe saw Wen Yan didn't respond when he said this, so he paused and continued slowly, "In fact, what is marriage? It may be that two men and women who love each other, after a series of running-in and understanding, decide that the other person is the one who can spend their lives with them. So Wen Yan, it doesn't matter. No matter what you are thinking, what I want to say is to take it slowly. The relationship between men and women often starts with each other's appearance. I admit that my initial attraction to you may have started with your appearance, which can be said to be superficial, but there are many people with superior looks among the people I have known since I was a child, but I have never been moved by this.

So for you, I think this is a wonderful kind of fate, or perhaps it's the perfect timing, the right people, that brought us together and captivated each other. We knew so little about each other, and the process was so brief. I wanted to take it slow, but now everything is perfect. We can slowly get to know each other. I'll treat myself like a book for you to read. Even if there are some unpleasant moments, we can still work things out. Now that we've met, let's cherish every moment. What do you think?

After saying that, he took a napkin and wiped the oil stains from the corner of her mouth.

After hearing what he said, Wen Yan realized that her understanding of him was too superficial. That's right, her liking for him was too superficial. Like yesterday, she thought that falling in love was a waste of her time and something that could be easily given up. She even blamed her lack of progress on this aspect.

But after listening to his words, she found that it was not the case. He was very serious, he had thought about many things, he was very good, even so good that she felt a little inferior...

She picked up the soy milk at hand, drank it slowly, and sat quietly. Meng Qinghe didn't say anything else. In fact, he had felt that her mood was not right since yesterday, but she didn't take the initiative to share the idea with him, so he knew that some things cannot be rushed. The most important thing for a qualified hunter is patience!

"Let's go. It's too late to go to the amusement park. There are too many people and we have to wait in line for a long time." Seeing that she had finished eating, Meng Qinghe picked up the plate and put it in the tableware recycling area.

Wen Yan looked at his back, and slowly her face relaxed.

The two drove to the largest amusement park in S City. Meng Qinghe went to buy tickets while Wen Yan waited for him at the gate. During the time, they saw someone selling balloons. Each balloon was beautifully made and surrounded by children. So when Meng Qinghe came out, he saw Wen Yan staring at the balloons. He couldn't help but laugh. How could she be so cute?

He walked forward, walked up to the balloon seller, looked carefully, and then took the one he thought looked the best. The children around him looked at the big brother and looked at him curiously.

Wen Yan saw him come out and walked straight to the balloon vendor. Before she could figure out what was going on, she saw him walking over with a balloon with colorful lights that glowed at night. He tied the balloon to the chain of her bag and said, "Let's go, kid."

Then he took her hand and walked forward.

Wen Yan looked at the balloons, then at Meng Qinghe, feeling delighted. She held his hand back, interlacing her fingers with his, forming a ten-finger clasp. She said proudly, "I'm not a kid. I just saw all those kids gathered there, and it looked quite lively. Actually, I don't really want it."

"Yes, I think it looks nice and I simply want to give it to you." Meng Qinghe did not refute, but smiled and agreed with her.

Wen Yan blushed for the first time. How could he be so good at this? It made her feel a little embarrassed!

In the amusement park, whenever Wen Yan saw any interesting projects, she would excitedly pull him forward to line up. When she had fun, she would throw her bag to him. Meng Qinghe's hands were full of water and tissues, and he had a bag hanging on his body. He was also thinking about how to take the best photos of his girlfriend. In fact, he didn't quite understand. They were all the same photos, so how could she tell which one was better looking? In his opinion, weren't they all the same?

When we got back, Wen Yan was still enthusiastically choosing photos. She was struggling to decide which one to post on her Moments. When she turned to a selfie, she was posing in front and he was watching her playfully from behind with a smile on his face, full of doting.

Wen Yan looked at the photo, then looked at the man next to her who was driving seriously, and laughed. There was a red light in front and the car stopped. Wen Yan quickly went up and kissed him on the cheek, then continued to look at her own photo seriously, pretending that nothing had happened.

Meng Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then smiled and rubbed her hair. He didn't say anything, but just took one hand off the steering wheel, held her hand tightly, and rubbed it from time to time.
