(The next chapter can wait until 10:30. Two chapters today, three chapters tomorrow. I really have no dating experience, so I feel it's hard to write...)
How do you usually liven up the atmosphere at the very beginning of a date? This is a question worth considering.
If you were to ask Mr. Chen, the master of love, he would probably do this.
"I'm so tired after sitting in the car for an hour. Let's go find a foot massage parlor to relax!"
Upon hearing such an abrupt remark, Shang Yunmiao turned her head in a daze, then looked at Chen Bing with a bewildered and slightly yandere-like gaze.
At the same time, she softly called out Chen Bing's name.
"Chen Bing..."
Oh dear, I messed up.
As the saying goes, "He who walks on the shore will eventually get his shoes wet." Even a dating expert like Chen Bing can occasionally slip up and make a mistake.
He meant to crack a joke to lighten the mood, but it backfired.
After a brief moment of thought, Chen Bing realized that the more awkward the situation, the less he should panic and try to explain, as that would only backfire. So, he had a sudden inspiration and changed his tune, saying, "How about we just save this weariness for later? After you soak your feet at home tonight, I'll give you a massage?"
The resentful expression on Shang Yunmiao's face eased slightly. She gave a rather haughty snort and replied, "I won't give you a massage!"
It should be noted that Shang Yunmiao has always been a rather gentle and introverted person, especially since she made a mistake this morning and was punished by herself.
At a time when she should have been submissive, she was able to say such things, which shows that she was genuinely a little angry.
However, after all, Shang Yunmiao has a very good temper.
Just as Chen Bing was thinking about how to coax her, Shang Yunmiao continued, "Although I'm still a little angry, I forgive you. But, Chen Bing, please don't make jokes about going to those indecent places in the future, okay? Otherwise, I won't forgive you next time."
You bastard, apologize to all the foot massage parlors in the world!
After silently refuting it in her mind, Chen Bing quickly assured him that there was no problem.
"Yes, a child who can admit their mistakes and correct them is a good child." Upon hearing this, Teacher Shang Yunmiao stood on tiptoe and reached out to pat Chen Bing's head.
Then, she smiled and stretched out her hand, saying, "Let's go then. It's rare for us to meet in such a far place... Let's go for a walk and not waste any more time."
How infuriating! He's just a small-time cricket seller, why does he have to act like such a grown-up?
Chen Bing touched her nose in dissatisfaction, then took Shang Yunmiao's outstretched hand and forcefully led her into action.
No, today has to be my home turf.
After symbolically asking for Shang Yunmiao's opinion, Chen Bing led her around the mall.
Today is August 20, 2020. Most students have not yet started school, so even though it is only around nine o'clock in the morning, there are quite a few people in the mall. Various merchants have launched many activities for the last hurrah of the summer vacation.
Chen Bing's eyes immediately fell on a Snow King Ice Cream shop.
He turned to Shang Yunmiao beside him and said, "Speaking of which, it's autumn now, and you haven't had milk tea yet, right? How about the first milk tea of autumn?"
I remember Chen Bing telling me when I was very young that things like the first cup of milk tea in autumn, giving flowers and chocolates on Valentine's Day, diamonds symbolizing eternal love, and giving diamonds as a wedding gift are all marketing tricks of capital. She also told me to remember my class position and not to be exploited by capital.
Based on these correct teachings, Shang Yunmiao naturally had no interest in these trendy "customs" as she grew up. When Chen Bing asked her about it, Shang Yunmiao first stated that it had nothing to do with whether it was autumn or not, but that it was more natural to carry a cup of milk tea while shopping.
Chen Bing said he understood, and then led the other person to the front of the Snow King store.
"I'd like a red bean pudding with snow topping, extra large." After saying that, Chen Bing glanced at Xiao Shang's rosy cheeks, then mentally calculated the days, and added, "Hot."
"Okay, extra-large red bean pudding with snow topping, heated."
After calling out to the back of the store, the clerk glanced at Chen Bing's face.
Wow, I found a handsome guy.
I just don't know if the girl next to him is his sister or his girlfriend. Logically, since they're both so pretty and so young, she should be his sister, right?
If I'm not mistaken, then I'm right.
After a moment of random thoughts, the shop assistant glanced at Chen Bing again.
Hmm? This handsome guy looks familiar. Let me take another look.
It still looks somewhat familiar.
Hmm...maybe it's because all handsome guys look alike.
After reaching a conclusion, the shop assistant handed the prepared milk tea to the two of them.
After seeing the two customers off, the shop assistant turned back to scrolling through her phone. Just then, a video with a title like "Street Photography: Perfect Score in Middle School Entrance Exam" caught her eye.
Over the past few days, she had come across several videos related to Chen Bing, the person who scored full marks on the high school entrance exam. Just as she was about to casually swipe past the video, a handsome face suddenly flashed across the screen.
Wait, isn't this person...?
After buying the milk tea, Chen Bing and her companion walked towards the movie theater, looking at the clothes in the shop windows along the way.
"Chen Bing, I can't finish this extra-large cup."
"I know, I never intended for you to finish it all by yourself."
Do you want some too?
Looking down at the little boy biting on a straw, Chen Bing asked matter-of-factly, "Otherwise what?"
"Here, have a sip." Upon hearing this, Xiao Shang held up the milk tea with both hands, looking very cute.
Since she bought it herself, Chen Bing naturally didn't hold back and took a slurp.
"It's a little hot, and a little sweet."
"Wouldn't it be better if it were a little hot? It would feel so warm inside."
"Of course, you have to drink something cold in the summer to feel comfortable."
"Then..." Shang Yunmiao originally wanted to ask, "Then why buy hot food?" But after a quick calculation, she realized that her time was almost up, and it seemed that she really shouldn't drink cold food.
After smiling sweetly at Chen Bing's gentleness and thoughtfulness, she changed her mind and asked, "Then why not buy two cups? The second cup is half price."
Chen Bing naturally noticed Shang Yunmiao's little expression. After feeling a little proud of the gentleness he had unintentionally shown, he replied matter-of-factly, "Silly, how can we drink together if we bought two cups?"
Well, although the neighbor's brother is very gentle with her, he's always trying to take advantage of her.
Shang Yunmiao thought about it and realized that Chen Bing's behavior in their interactions could probably be explained by the aforementioned statement.
"Can't we drink the two cups together?" After blatantly ignoring the premise that "they must be drunk together," Shang Yunmiao quickly discovered the blind spot.
“They are different.”
"What's different?"
"Only drinking your beverage can make me happy."
Upon hearing this, Shang Yunmiao first felt smug, then felt favored by the word "only," and then said happily and fearlessly, "Actually, you can just buy me two cups!"
