The weekend finally arrived, and Xu Damao's long-awaited date was finally here.

My biggest takeaway from this time travel is that the girls of this era are really great; they're not so worldly or pretentious. But on the other hand, Xu Damao's personal qualities in this era are also quite excellent.

At such a young age, he has a highly coveted job, now even a team leader. He owns a large house and has his parents' support. With these advantages, he has already surpassed 80% of his peers.

The meeting place with Wang Minzhi was Beihai Park, not far from either of their homes. The weather was nice today, not too hot, and Xu Damao arrived at the park entrance early.

After a short while, Wang Minzhi also came over.

"Minzhi, you're here. Come on, I've already bought the tickets."

Xu Damao was particularly excited to see Wang Minzhi today. Perhaps it was because it was her first time going out alone, without any other acquaintances around. He moved closer to Wang Minzhi, wanting to take her hand, but then thought about the times and gave up.

To ease the awkwardness, Xu Damao twirled his outstretched hand over his head, scratching it and grinning foolishly. At that moment, Xu Damao understood Shazhu; everyone around his beloved was a sycophant.

"Hehe, you silly thing. Come on, let's go in." Wang Minzhi, who usually seemed shy, suddenly became generous and led the way into the park.

In fact, Wang Minzhi had seriously considered her relationship with Xu Damao during this time. Through their recent interactions, she was quite satisfied with him. He was witty and humorous, studious and ambitious, and his background and family circumstances were good—making him a very good potential partner.

As for the rumors that Xu Damao liked to flirt with pretty young girls, she hadn't noticed anything like that during this period.

If Xu Damao knew he was being praised so highly, he would surely be moved to tears. All that time spent clearing his predecessor's name would have been worthwhile. Thank goodness he transmigrated early!

Once inside the park, seeing that there were no people around, Xu Damao immediately approached Wang Minzhi, even smelling her unique fragrance, and deliberately touched her body.

"Sorry, this road isn't very smooth," Xu Damao explained to himself.

"It's alright." Wang Minzhi knew perfectly well what was going on, but she didn't point it out. The girl's thoughts were hard to fathom.

"How about we go boating? There aren't many people now, so we don't have to queue." After walking for a while, when they arrived at the boat area, Xu Damao had a sudden idea.

“Okay, I haven’t done it in a long time. I used to do it with my classmates in high school, like Li Tong and the others.” Wang Minzhi explained, seemingly afraid that Xu Damao would misunderstand.

Once aboard, the two were overjoyed and rowed swiftly. When they reached the middle of the lake, Wang Minzhi even scooped up some water and splashed it at Xu Damao.

At this moment, Xu Damao felt a sense of gratitude for his predecessor's rich experience. He saw a recessed area by the lake, with dense trees forming a relatively private space under their shade, and immediately rowed the boat there.

"What are you doing? It's so shady here though," Wang Minzhi asked.

"Look, my hands are all red from the cuts, aren't they blistered?" Xu Damao stretched out his hand to the other person.

"Let me see, it doesn't seem to be there." Wang Minzhi leaned closer to Xu Damao's hand and looked at it carefully.

Looking closely at the girl's snow-white nape and smelling the fragrance of shampoo in her hair, Xu Damao couldn't help but hug her and kiss her hair.

"Ah!" Wang Minzhi was startled by Xu Damao's action and didn't know what to do at first. She pushed him away after a few seconds.

"I'm sorry, Minzhi, you're so beautiful, I couldn't help myself." Xu Damao stopped short of it. In this era, his actions were considered bold. If others had seen this, he would probably have been charged with indecent assault.

"My mom said I can't get too close to you." Although Wang Minzhi was shy, she was secretly delighted and spoke her mind.

"Your aunt knows about me?"

“I told them otherwise they wouldn’t let me out. But they told me to keep a certain distance from you and not to let you bully me.”

"How could I bully you? Minzhi, when can I come to your house?" Xu Damao was overjoyed. If he could meet the parents, it meant good things were just around the corner.

"Hmph, why are you in such a hurry? Let me go back and ask them first." The gentle girl also revealed her coquettish side.

The two chatted, and Xu Damao secretly held the other's hand, but Wang Minzhi didn't say anything.

"Alright, let's go quickly, it won't be good if someone sees us." After lingering there for a while longer, Wang Minzhi urged them to leave.

On the way back, the two of them moved closer together in tacit agreement.

They strolled around the park, and around noon, they found a restaurant nearby and went inside to eat.

Wang Minzhi had just stepped in with her left foot when she turned around with her right foot and went straight out, pulling Xu Damao out with her.

"What's wrong? Is this dancing?" Xu Damao asked, looking confused, and followed him.

"Wang Minzhi, where do you think you're going?"

Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out in the restaurant.

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao immediately recognized Li Tong. It turned out that Wang Minzhi had seen Li Tong eating inside the restaurant as soon as she entered, and immediately turned to leave. Unfortunately, Li Tong, who was sitting opposite the door, had already noticed her and immediately chased after her.

"Oh, Li Tong, you're eating here? I just went in and it was too crowded, so I was thinking of going to another place."

"Then you can go back to eat. We'll talk again tomorrow at work."

After saying that, Wang Minzhi prepared to make her escape.

"Hmph, so that's where you've been. I went to your house this morning to play with you, but your aunt said you were out. So, you were with this guy, huh?"

"Tell me quickly, what's your relationship?"

Li Tong wasn't about to let her get away so easily.

Xu Damao watched the two beautiful women chatting away at the door, but dared not utter a sound, wanting to remain invisible for fear of attracting trouble. But things never went as planned.

"Xu Damao, you've got some tricks up your sleeve. Tell me, how are you going to thank me? Otherwise, I'll use the loudspeaker to announce your story tomorrow, so the whole steel mill will know about it."

Li Tong turned his gun around.

"Haha, what did you say?" Xu Damao laughed, but his eyes were fixed on Wang Minzhi, his meaning clear: how exactly should this be resolved?

Xu Damao was unaware of Wang Minzhi's attitude towards this matter and could only seek her help.

"Minzhi, don't say anything. I can't stand the sight of this kid. He actually secretly ran away with my Minzhi."

Seeing Wang Minzhi about to speak, Li Tong quickly stopped her. She had been on guard day and night, but she never expected her home to be raided. She was so angry that even her small belongings began to tremble.

"Well, you've all paid for your meals today, so how about I treat you to another meal separately next time?" Xu Damao asked cautiously.

"Once? There's no such thing as a free lunch. My Minzhi is only worth one restaurant visit. At least two, no, five."

Xu Damao drew a circle around Li Tong, but unexpectedly, Li Tong didn't jump out. As for the five times mentioned now, she probably won't even remember them later.
