The first date was to be held in the city, a two-hour drive from the village. The director asked everyone to get up early in order to get more footage.
Therefore, Lu Yan got up before six o'clock and went straight to the kitchen to make two sandwiches.
She put on light makeup, changed into a set of clothes that were easy to move in, applied sunscreen and sprayed mosquito repellent. When she checked the time, half an hour had passed and Zhuang Yan still hadn't gotten up.
Lu Yan walked to his room door and was about to knock when she heard a noise inside. Zhuang Yan, who was already dressed, opened the door.
Zhuang Yan was taken aback, and the two stared at each other for two seconds.
Lu Yan stared him down, head to toe, and asked, "You're going on a date with me dressed like this?"
What else? Zhuang Yan didn't think anything was wrong. As long as the clothes were comfortable, that was fine. It was still a t-shirt and sweatpants.
Lu Yan went straight in: "Where are your clothes?"
Zhuang Yan pointed to the wardrobe.
Lu Yan opened the closet, where several pieces of clothing were hanging. After looking around, she finally found a cotton shirt and changed his pants.
"Wear this outfit; it's our first date, and I'm taking it very seriously."
Lu Yan stared straight at him, and Zhuang Yan reluctantly accepted the gift: "Go out for a moment, I'll be done changing right away."
Zhuang Yan changed his clothes in less than ten minutes. The outfit Lu Yan had chosen for him was the best among the clothes he had brought. After changing into it, he looked much more energetic.
Lu Yan opened the door again and smiled with satisfaction. She glanced at Zhuang Yan's outfit, rested her chin on her hand, and pondered, "I feel like something's missing. Wait for me a moment."
Lu Yan went back to the bedroom, grabbed a hat, and put it on Zhuang Yan: "It's hot, so protect yourself from the sun."
The hat also added a touch of style, making Zhuang Yan look cool and handsome.
"Put on the bracelet from yesterday."
"Is it mandatory to wear it?"
"Yes, you must wear it." The commanding tone left no room for refusal. Zhuang Yan opened the drawer and took out the blue braided bracelet that he had put away yesterday. After putting it on, he noticed that Lu Yan also had one on her wrist, but hers was red, clearly a couple's bracelet.
Not only do their bracelets look like a couple's, but their outfits today also match.
He finally understood why Lu Yan was so insistent on changing his clothes.
How could he believe that she had no other feelings for him?
Zhuang Yan is slow to react to emotions because he hadn't been loved for too long in his past life, which made him doubt himself over time. But even if he's slow, he's not stupid. He can feel Lu Yan's concern for him and her excessive attention.
Just like the saying goes, how can someone standing by a campfire not feel the heat?
"Let's go, let's head straight out the door."
Aren't you going to prepare breakfast?
"I've already made it. You can eat it now, or save it for the road if you don't want to eat it now."
"I'm not hungry now, take it with you to eat on the way."
The two of them went out together and bumped into Jiang Ning and An Xinrong.
This was the earliest An Xinrong had ever gotten up. She was brushing her teeth in the yard when she saw Lu Yan come out of Zhuang Yan's bedroom. She almost choked on the toothpaste foam and quickly rinsed her mouth before asking, "Did you two sleep together last night?"
Lu Yan stared at her amusedly, offering no explanation.
In the end, Zhuang Yan, seeing how naive she was, finally said, "No."
An Xinrong breathed a sigh of relief for some reason: "Then why did she come out of your room?"
"Help me choose some clothes."
An Xinrong then noticed that the two looked like they were wearing matching clothes, and her heart skipped a beat, a wave of tingling sensation washing over her.
An Xinrong clearly hadn't slept well; her complexion was much worse than usual, and she had dark circles under her eyes. She had been staying in the village for the past few days, dreaming of going out to play. But now that she could actually go out, she felt inexplicably depressed and irritable, and didn't want to move.
Lu Yan got the car keys from the director.
Jiang Ning: "Are you leaving now?"
"Hmm, the date location is a bit far, so leaving early will allow us to have more time to play."
"Where?" Jiang Ning thought to herself. If they were going the same way, she could find a reason to get on the same car with them. With her by her side, Lu Yan would never lay a hand on Zhuang Yan.
Lu Yan glanced at her and knew what she was thinking. She said coldly, "We're going in the opposite direction, not on the same path."
Jiang Ning pursed her lips and said softly, "I was just asking casually."
With hundreds of thousands of people watching in the live stream, her actions almost revealed her hidden intentions.
Lu Yan took the car keys and got into the driver's seat.
Zhuang Yan opened the passenger door: "Are you driving?"
"Okay, get in the car."
Lu Yan turned on the car's music player and selected a few songs. Zhuang Yan was surprised to find that these were all instrumental pieces that he often listened to.
Lu Yan drove fast and steadily. Because there was a photographer following them, the two couldn't have in-depth conversations and could only chat about everyday things.
Upon arriving at her destination, Lu Yan found a parking space and parked. As soon as she got out of the car, she was recognized.
The show was broadcast live for five days and was on the trending topics list every day, making it hard not to know about it. Among them, Zhuang Yan was the most discussed.
Lu Yan got out of the car first, and her flamboyant beauty was instantly photographed. Zhuang Yan followed her out of the car. The date location was chosen by the production team, but the date process was arranged by Zhuang Yan. Considering that the production team needed to provide material, Zhuang Yan directly took Lu Yan to buy tickets and enter the aquarium.
Lu Yan carried a Polaroid camera with her. When she saw Zhuang Yan looking up at a dolphin, she raised the camera and pressed the shutter.
Hearing the sound, Zhuang Yan turned around: "You took a picture of me?"
“This is called recording beautiful things.” Lu Yan suddenly became excited. After visiting the Ocean Mansion, the two bought some snacks nearby.
Zhuang Yan would buy Lu Yan whatever she wanted. Lu Yan was keen on picking out little trinkets, such as keychains, hairbands, fans, earrings, etc.
