Ruan Jun was feeling joyful in her heart, thinking that the idiot had come up with such a method. It doesn't matter if he didn’t accept me before. Once he accepts me, he won't ever think about throwing me away. A suspicious blush appeared on Ruan Jun's face. She bowed her head slightly and stammered, "That means... from now on, you… you’re my boyfriend?"
Tao Ran looked at Ruan Jun’s expression, bowing her head and stammering, as if she was feeling embarrassed. Is she unwilling? If he forced her at this point in time, would he be blacklisted immediately? Tao Ran felt a little frightened in his heart and said, "If you really don't want to, it doesn't matter. Just treat it as if I didn't say anything."
"No, no, I'm willing to do it." Ruan Jun raised her head and couldn't conceal her excitement. "You already said it. You can't go back on your words now."
"..." Tao Ran was speechless for a moment, wondering what Ruan Jun was thinking. He comforted himself because the idea of wanting a vicious female for a partner was different from ordinary people's wishes and definitely not because he had become a straight man.
The phone screen lit up slightly, indicating that Mrs. Ruan had sent a text message. Ruan Jun took a look, and Mrs. Ruan’s worry and anxiety could be felt through the screen of the phone: [Jun Jun, how are you? Did Zhou Jiayi bully you? Mom is here, you wait for me, Mom is coming to help you.]
What should I do? Mom is coming.
Ruan Jun suddenly became anxious. She and Zhou Jiayi hadn't even said a few words to each other, how could they be disturbed by her mother like this?
Tao Ran saw that there was something wrong, and said, "What's wrong? Is there something urgent?"
"Ah, no." Ruan Jun denied immediately, and then changed the subject, "Um... you see, now that we are already lovers, shouldn't we do something couples should do?"
Tao Ran asked inexplicably, "What do couples do?"
"You..." Ruan Jun said speechlessly, "You don't mean to let others know that we are a couple? If we don't hang out together, how can others know?"
That makes sense. Tao Ran said, "Then let’s go."
Ruan Jun looked expectant. "Where are we going?"
"To the company."
Ruan Jun's face suddenly changed. "What are we going to do in the company?"
Tao Ran took it for granted. "Let’s go to the company and announce our relationship to everyone, so that everyone will know."
"..." Ruan Jun looked at Tao Ran, really wanting to knock his head on the wall to make him spit out blood. How could there be such a straight thinker? It was really maddening, as if someone pressed her against the wall and gave her a domineering kiss!
Tao Ran didn't know what Ruan Jun was thinking, otherwise, he would definitely knock his head on the wall and make himself vomit blood first while thinking, You are a straight man! You are a straight man! You are a straight man!
Ruan Jun, "This can be done at work tomorrow. Today is Sunday, there are not many people in the company."
Tao Ran was not a fool. He could see that Ruan Jun has some thoughts in her heart. He said, "Do you want to do something? Just say what you think."
Ruan Jun said with bright eyes, "Let's go on a date."
"Okay." Tao Ran agreed. "Just the two of us? If you don't meet acquaintances, I'm afraid there will be no publicity effect."
Ruan Jun's small hands were almost squeezed under the table. She told herself that she must be patient, and that they will grow closer in the days to come. If she can't stand it now, she might explode later. She mustered the greatest patience of her life and said, "Think about it, if I go back now, tell my parents what is going on today, and say I'm together with Zhou Jiayi, what will they ask? If they see that I'm back so early, who would believe that we are dating?"
Tao Ran raised his eyebrows, feeling that things were not simple.
Ruan Jun continued: "If we go out and do some things that couples do first, after we go back, I will tell my parents that we are dating from today onwards. In this way, it will be more convincing, don't you think?"
Tao Ran concluded, "In other words, you have to go on a date with me today?"
"..." Ruan Jun was tired. "Yes."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go." Tao Ran stood up and said, "It's still early. After the date, we’ll have a meal together, and then I will take you home."
Why do you always want to take me home?
Ruan Jun stood up shyly and moved towards Tao Ran, taking small steps.
Tao Ran stretched out his hand, and Ruan Jun took it shyly.
Tao Ran said inexplicably, "What are you doing with my raised hand?"
Ruan Jun was stunned. "Huh?"
Tao Ran reached out to greet the waiter, "I’m paying the bill."
Ruan Jun: "..."
After the waitress came over to give them the check, Ruan Jun followed Tao Ran unhappily. After Tao Ran walked a few steps, he noticed that Ruan Jun wasn’t beside him, so he turned around and asked, "Why are you walking so slowly?"
Ruan Jun pursed her lips and said, "I can't walk fast."
Tsk Tsk, she can’t do so many things. Tao Ran said helplessly, "Come here, I’ll help you."
"Yeah." Ruan Jun immediately smiled, vivaciously walked to Tao Ran's side, and held Tao Ran's hand.
The waitress who watched the whole process looked at their backs leaving, and sent to her circle of friends a ‘heartbroken’ message.
[Intolerable, ah. Just witnessed a superb, handsome gentleman being caught by an evil spirit. When will the country send me the boyfriend it owes me?]
There were replies soon below.
[How handsome is he? How gentlemanly is he?]
[No picture, no truth.]
[Send the photos.]
[You’ve been single for many years that you’re having hallucinations? Can such a handsome man be seen by you?]
The waitress had really taken photos of Tao Ran in secret. She sent these to her friends: [In order to prove myself, I can only reluctantly share these photos. You can see for yourself.]
In the photo, Tao Ran was smiling gently, listening quietly to the woman opposite him. Long eyelashes hang gently and light-colored lips glow with a moist luster.
However, the replies below were all...
[F**k! That collarbone!]
[Goodness, is this the clavicle spirit?]
[Oh oh oh~ I want to eat spare ribs tonight.]
[God! Isn't this the 2D little brother that I have been painstakingly searching for for years?]
[The woman on the other side. Looking at her back, you will know that she is definitely not as good-looking as the little brother.]
[Ying ying ying… so much heartache.]
The waitress was perfectly satisfied to see that there were other people who were heartbroken other than herself.
Tao Ran and Long Qiu didn't go out very much when they were together. Long Qiu's hobby was two people cooking at home together. After some years, Tao Ran had forgotten that couples would go out to play together. He wanted to go back and rest quickly because he didn't like to go shopping. Lying on the sofa, watching TV, reading novels, and eating snacks: is there anything more refreshing in the world?
Obviously Ruan Jun didn't think so, she sat in the car and excitedly said, "Where do you want to go?"
I want to go to bed...
Tao Ran resisted Ruan Jun's hot gaze and said helplessly, "You tell me where you want to go, I’ll listen to you."
"Let's go to the amusement park." Ruan Jun said, "I haven't been there in a long time."
Tao Ran, "But I'm already 27 years old..."
"Huh." Ruan Jun said, "What's wrong with you being 27? You can go there even when you’re already 67."
You sure? Can Grandpas really afford to live?
Forget it. I will listen to her, there is nowhere else to go anyway. As Tao Ran drove Ruan Jun to the amusement park, they could see the huge Ferris wheel from a distance.
Ruan Jun stared at the Ferris wheel, her cheeks burning. She heard that couples will love each other forever by riding the Ferris wheel and kissing when they reach the highest point. Ruan Jun was already imagining kissing Tao Ran on the Ferris wheel, her leaning against Tao Ran's chest afterwards and rubbing her cheek against his collarbone. The two of them would speak softly and intimately talk about their bright future together.
Tao Ran stopped the car and watched Ruan Jun staring into the air blankly in a daze. The look made him feel horrified, and he couldn't help interrupting her thoughts. "Hey, wake up, we’re here."
"Ah? Oh!" Ruan Jun took Tao Ran's hand and said, "Let's go."
Tao Ran looked at the hand held by her and said silently, "Can I get out of the car first before you hold my hand? Are you going to pull me out of the car through your side?”
"Oh." Ruan Jun's face was hot, and her heart said that today she was really shameless.
After buying tickets and going in, Tao Ran looked at various entertainment facilities and didn’t feel much interest in anything. Although Ruan Jun wanted to go to the Ferris wheel, she hypocritically asked for Tao Ran's opinion. If Tao Ran lets her choose, then she will say that she wants to go to the Ferris wheel.
"That..." She wanted to call him Jiayi but she felt too embarrassed. What should I do?
Tao Ran bowed his head. "What's the matter?"
"What ride do you want to get on?" Ruan Jun looked expectant.
Tao Ran looked around and said, "Roller Coaster."
"..." Her smile faded away. Ruan Jun said, "I'm afraid."
"What's so scary about that? It's safe." Tao Ran smiled. "Are you going to sit on a boring Ferris wheel like those fools?"
"..." The fool Ruan Jun said without expression, "I won't go on the roller coaster anyway."
Tao Ran thought for a long time before saying, "Then the haunted house."
Haunted house...
Fortunately, this was originally Ruan Jun's second dating destination. In the haunted house, hiding in Zhou Jiayi's arms in fear, the two of them would have intimate physical contact...
Very beautiful, very beautiful!
"Okay, then let’s go to the haunted house." Ruan Jun waved her hand. "Let’s go stand in line."
It was basically couples who were playing in haunted houses, only some groups of people were there together. Tao Ran had been courageous since he was young. He could watch ghost movies by himself in the middle of the night and still fall asleep as soon as his eyes closed. It could be said that ordinary ghost movies hardly even stimulate him. At the door of the haunted house, he heard ghosts crying and howling, Tao Ran wanted to laugh. Can a group of fake ghosts frighten him like this?
When he was leading Ruan Jun to go in, Panda Xiaomei's head suddenly flashed a red light. "Alarm, there are real ghosts in the haunted house! There are real ghosts in the haunted house!"
Tao Ran: "..."
Ruan Jun walked two steps and couldn’t move forward, Tao Ran pulled her to stand in place. Ruan Jun turned around and said, "What's wrong with you?"
The cold sweat on Tao Ran's head trickled down and he said weakly, "It would be better if we go and play something else, right?"
Ruan Jun frowned and said, "Why? I don't want to, I'm going to play in the haunted house."
