In the days that followed, Mo Beichen would find various excuses to see Wang Simeng every day.

Wang Simeng figured that since Mo Beichen's family was in the capital, he probably didn't have many friends in Qingshan City. After all, she herself had lived in Qingshan City for so long and didn't have many friends either. She guessed that Mo Beichen was probably the same, so she didn't suspect anything.

The Lantern Festival is on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Wang Simeng gave everyone in the courtyard a holiday so they could also go and join in the festivities.

Mo Beichen is here again.

Wang Simeng asked, "Have you finished your business?" But in her heart, she was thinking, "Why does Mo Beichen come every day? Isn't he busy?"

"No, the matter is rather complicated and not easy to accomplish." Mo Beichen shook his head slightly disappointedly.

Seeing Mo Beichen's expression, Wang Simeng didn't ask any further questions and quickly comforted him, "It's alright, take your time. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."

Then she changed the subject. "By the way, today is the Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. We can put things aside for now; the west side of the city is sure to be very lively today. You didn't see it during the New Year; do you want to go check it out today?"

Wang Simeng thought to herself, "It would be good to make Mo Beichen happy."

Mo Beichen was delighted, his eyes filled with tenderness, and he smiled as he replied with a single word, "Okay."

The girl I like is so cute and kind; she comforted me when she saw I was feeling down. Today is another day I like Simeng even more.

"Okay, let's get going then." A smile is all that matters.

"Um."

So the two of them headed towards the west city.

"How about we go to the food street and get something good to eat first?" Wang Simeng suggested.

"Okay, whatever you say, let's go now."

When Wang Simeng heard that Mo Beichen had agreed, she led him toward the food street.

Having gained some understanding of Wang Simeng's taste preferences, Mo Beichen went straight to the takoyaki stall and bought two servings.

"Si Meng, here you go, be careful, it's hot." Mo Beichen handed the first batch of takoyaki he had made to Wang Simeng, indicating that she should try it first.

Wang Simeng took the takoyaki, picked one up with a skewer, pouted her pink lips slightly, and blew on it. She took a small bite. "Mmm~ still so delicious." Her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cute smile as she said sweetly.

Seeing Wang Simeng's adorable appearance, Mo Beichen resisted the urge to pinch her cheeks and kiss her lips.

"Hmm, the next one will be ready soon too, I'll give you some later." Mo Beichen said, looking at Wang Simeng with affection.

"No need, I'm going to eat something else later," Wang Simeng shook her head and refused.

"good."

Next, Mo Beichen and Wang Simeng ate their way through the food street, trying every kind of food that Wang Simeng loved.

"Mo Beichen, what a coincidence! You like to eat the same things as me."

Over this period of time, the two got along better and better, and Mo Beichen learned more and more about Wang Simeng. However, the more he learned about her, the clearer his feelings for her became.

"Yes, that's right." Mo Beichen nodded in agreement. "I also really like the things you like to eat."

"Haha, we have such similar tastes, no wonder we're friends."

"Let's go play games!" Wang Simeng said excitedly.

"Okay, sure."

Mo Beichen smiled and agreed, his eyes full of doting affection.

Friends? But I want more than just to be your friend. I also want… Mo Beichen didn’t continue thinking.

"Mo Beichen, let's go see a movie. I fell asleep during the last movie, but I promise I won't this time. I'll watch it with you." Wang Simeng said enthusiastically.

Mo Beichen smiled and nodded.

The two headed towards the movie theater.

The two walked to the front of the movie theater.

"Mo Beichen, what movie do you want to watch?"

"Let me see." Mo Beichen began to look at the movie brochure seriously.

"What do you think of this one, Simeng?" Mo Beichen looked up at Wang Simeng and asked.

"I'm fine with anything," Wang Simeng said with a smile after glancing at the fact that it was a romance movie.

She was a little surprised. She hadn't expected Mo Beichen to like romantic movies; she thought he'd prefer kung fu films. Who knew Mo Beichen had such a romantic side?

This movie tells the love story between the male and female protagonists, and the process of the male protagonist pursuing the female protagonist. The female protagonist is very beautiful in both personality and appearance, so she is very popular with the male protagonist.

When the two arrived at the cinema, Wang Simeng told the staff to book a private box. Upon entering the box, they found the table already laden with snacks and drinks.

"Not bad, the staff are quite fast." Wang Simeng nodded and said appreciatively.

The two then sat on the sofa and waited for the movie to start.

"Mo Beichen, don't worry, I definitely won't fall asleep this time," Wang Simeng assured, patting her chest confidently.

Mo Beichen smiled slightly upon hearing this.

Soon, the movie started, and both Mo Beichen and Wang Simeng were captivated by it.

Wang Simeng was completely engrossed in the watch, unconsciously following the plot. Mo Beichen was also thoroughly enjoying it, even wanting to learn how to woo girls from the book.

"The male lead in this movie is quite handsome, and he and the female lead are a good match." Wang Simeng whispered to Mo Beichen while eating popcorn, as if afraid of disturbing others.

In modern movies, people speak very softly, even when they talk. Wang Simeng adopted this habit, to the point that she forgot she was in her own private box and that there was no need to speak so softly or stand so close.
