"Go out... for a stroll?" Xia Lian tilted her head in confusion.
"Yes, going out for some fun is a good way to relax."
It's been half a month since school started, and this girl hasn't had much time to rest. She only gets to recharge in Wenmo's arms during her lunch break and when she gets home in the evening.
Wen Mo didn't know what kind of environment Xia Lian had lived in before. Apart from her studies and housework, she seemed to have never been exposed to anything else.
Eating a hamburger and pudding can make her happy for a long time.
Wen Mo wanted Xia Lian to experience more interesting things she didn't know, so that she could gradually fill the void left by her past life.
The girl lowered her eyes, seemingly deep in thought, which made Wen Mo feel awkward. He had thought she would agree immediately, but it seemed he had been overthinking it.
"Uh...don't you want to go?" Wen Mo asked cautiously.
Xia Lian shook her head.
"Wenmo, will you go?"
"Of course I'll go, that's the question."
He dared not let the girl go out alone.
Upon hearing this, the girl, who had been hesitating, immediately nodded. "If Wenmo goes, then I'll go too."
Seeing her agree so readily, Wen Mo was a little surprised, then smiled and took out his phone to make plans for tomorrow. "You agreed pretty quickly. Is there anywhere you want to go?"
Xia Lian pondered for a moment, then shook her head.
"I have no idea."
She didn't have any particular destination in mind, nor did she know where she could go for fun, but the one thing she was certain of was that she could spend the whole day with Wen Mo tomorrow.
"I see. Then I'll take care of everything."
After saying that, Wen Mo focused all his attention on his phone, pretending to be very mature, but in fact, if you looked through his phone more closely, you could see a bunch of search records that he hadn't deleted.
Where is a good place to go when going out with a girl?
How to tell if a girl is happy by observing her expression.
After searching for a long time, I still couldn't find anything useful.
And this damn search engine keeps suggesting "dating guides" to him, which made Wenmo mentally complain.
It wasn't a date! It was just a simple outing together, um... very innocent! It was just a relaxing get-together with Xia Lian.
Now Wenmo only regrets not going out and having more fun, which has left him with absolutely no experience.
Until a suggestion in the corner of the search bar caught his attention.
"Going to see a movie sounds like a good idea." Wen Mo rested his chin on his hand and nodded thoughtfully. "Besides, there are quite a few good movies out there lately. How about we go check one out?"
"Movie……?"
"Hmm, have you seen it before? Watching a movie in a theater is quite atmospheric."
Xia Lian stared blankly for a moment before realizing what she meant. "I didn't go to the movie theater."
The girl had rarely watched movies before. The few times she had watched a movie were when her class would sometimes show a movie, but everyone would kick her out under the pretext of not paying the air conditioning fee.
She could only peek through the small window in the corridor a few times, and after a while, she would realize that it wasn't very interesting.
It's tiring to look from the corridor.
This was Xia Lian's only feeling about watching the movie.
"Can I watch this with Wenmo...?" She raised her head and stared straight at him.
Wenmo was a little confused. Isn't watching a movie just about watching it together?
"Yes, of course we'll watch it together."
However, he didn't dwell on it too much and started buying movie tickets online for tomorrow.
...
The next afternoon.
After the two finished their meal at home, they waited until the temperature dropped a little, changed their clothes, and prepared to leave in the entryway.
After Xia Lian changed her shoes, Wen Mo took a closer look at her clothes for the day.
She wore a simple white dress, the hem of which fell just to her knees, revealing only the girl's fair and delicate legs. Combined with Xia Lian's taciturn and expressionless face, this pure and innocent scene made Wen Mo click his tongue in admiration.
Naturally innocent and naive are incredibly charming.
"Why did you suddenly want to wear a skirt today?" Wen Mo said with a smile, taking out his keys to open the door.
She had never worn a skirt before, and most of the skirts I bought for her were dresses or similar pieces, so there shouldn't be any sense of shyness about it.
Xia Lian slowly raised her head, then looked away somewhat guiltily.
Yin Tao had told her that girls should dress up nicely when they go out, as it would make Wen Mo very happy.
Although she didn't understand the underlying principle, she nodded thoughtfully and kept those words in mind.
"Wenmo, are you happy?"
"What?" Wen Mo was taken aback, not knowing what Xia Lian was referring to.
Meeting the girl's eyes, Wen Mo pondered for a moment before coming to a conclusion: she was probably asking if he was having fun going out together.
"Happy? Of course I'm happy." Wen Mo chuckled and patted her head.
Hearing his answer, Xia Lian squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
Yin Tao was right... Wen Mo was very happy.
After chatting for a while, Wenmo's pre-booked taxi arrived at the entrance of the residential area.
About ten minutes later, the two arrived at their destination.
Most of the so-called cinemas are located inside large shopping malls. It was a weekend, and the flow of people was exceptionally high, especially near the cinemas, where couples made up a very large proportion of the crowds.
The saccharine scent of romance permeated the air.
Wenmo, who had been staying at home for a long time, was not used to this atmosphere.
"There are so many couples, why hasn't the movie started yet?" Wen Mo smirked as he led Xia Lian to the self-service ticket machine to get their tickets.
Normally, he would never come to a place like this to watch a movie; he always felt awkward coming here alone.
Fortunately, Xia Lian was there with him, so at least he could stand up straighter.
Want some popcorn?
"Popcorn?"
“Hmm, it tastes sweet, you should like it.” Wen Mo also likes sweets. “Besides, most people buy a bucket of popcorn when they go to the movies to satisfy their cravings, just as a ritual.”
"It's sweet." Xia Lian said blankly.
As Wenmo approached the service counter and was about to pay, he felt his clothes being gently tugged twice.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Lian's eyes looked somewhat uneasy as she tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "This is so expensive..."
She originally thought that popcorn and snacks outside were about the same price, but she didn't expect that a small bucket would cost tens of yuan.
Wenmo realized what was happening.
"It's okay. We'll just treat it to our happiness once in a while. We don't need to worry about it too much."
This little girl is quite considerate of him.
In the end, he still bought the standard meal, a bucket of popcorn and two drinks. Xia Lian didn't like carbonated drinks, so he substituted juice for her.
Holding the popcorn in her arms, Xia Lian's eyes never left Wen Mo beside her.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Wen Mo's smile never stopped.
Xia Lian shook her head and didn't say anything.
The popcorn in his arms just felt a bit heavier now.
Wenmer said that what he was paying for was a sense of ritual, so he didn't feel bad about spending the money.
But... the ritual is so expensive...
