Chapter 40: A Date
As Luo Xi and Ye Xing stepped out of the HR department.
Everything here started to return to normal gradually.
The HR staff returned to their desks and resumed work.
Others began passing by as well.
Now the atmosphere was completely different from the quiet scene just moments ago.
Of course, Ye Xing, who had already left, wasn’t aware of this change.
After stepping out onto the street,
Ye Xing summoned a Star Chariot right away.
Once the chariot stopped in front of her, Ye Xing smoothly slid into the driver’s seat while giving a charming smirk.
“Pretty chick, do you want to hop into Ye Xing’s flyer? It’ll be a fun ride!”
Luo Xi sat calmly in the passenger seat, unfazed by Ye Xing’s flirtation.
“Guh guh guh~”
Ye Xing suddenly felt awkward.
Apparently, trying to flirt with the expressionless young girl wasn’t working.
She’d need to write notes on this in her little notebook.
She was so looking forward to seeing Luo Xi’s other expressions.
Luo Xi gave a sidelong glance at the self-loathing Ye Xing slumped on the steering wheel and interrupted the awkwardness.
“Let’s go.”
“But where are we going?”
“You can choose wherever you like. I don’t mind at all.”
“Hmm…”
Ye Xing pondered deeply in the driver’s seat, trying to decide where to go.
Considering what they were, this should be considered a date.
What would a normal date look like?
No! She had no clue!
On the surface, Ye Xing seemed calm and deep in thought, but inside she was freaking out, entirely clueless about the next step.
Her dual personality was starting to show its advantages again.
While Ye Xing seemed composed enough, internally, she was lost.
Meanwhile…
Back at Capital Headquarters.
Yelan, who was about to look for friends with Bai Yu, suddenly grabbed her phone to search online, planning to check public opinion.
Ye Xing definitely didn’t want to make a fool of herself in front of Luo Xi.
Otherwise, that would be too embarrassing!
“What are you searching for, Yelan?”
“Mm… expanding knowledge, enriching theoretical understanding for practical application.”
Yelan browsed some widely-used dating procedures and quickly figured out what to do.
“Ha ha! Victory formula confirmed!”
Bai Yu and the others, seeing Yelan’s confident expression, were all puzzled.
“If you’re getting tired, you can always find a rest room at headquarters.”
“We shouldn’t waste time; let’s hurry and find Star Sheng.”
Yelan responded vaguely, trying to hide the fact that Ye Xing was actually on a date with Luo Xi.
They absolutely couldn’t know or gossip about it.
Switching back to Ye Xing’s perspective:
Her eyes lit up.
“Let’s go shopping first!”
After all, Luo Xi was still a girl, even though she was “emotionless.” Even an emotionless girl could probably not resist cute clothes.
The key was to have fun.
After shopping, they could stroll around somewhere nice, like a park. Perhaps even visit a coffee shop, dessert place, or cinema.
In short, places recommended online.
Following this plan would guarantee a perfect day!
But merely taking Luo Xi out systemically wasn’t enough.
There had to be romantic gestures involved.
If there wasn’t any cooperation, it’d be a huge fail.
Hearing Ye Xing’s destination, Luo Xi remained expressionless, yet nodded.
“All right.”
“Yeah!”
Then, Ye Xing activated automatic driving, scooting around aimlessly with Luo Xi in tow.
Automatic driving was so uncool.
She couldn’t miss such a chance for bragging rights.
After some time,
Ye Xing and Luo Xi finally reached the largest mall in Yun Chang City.
Parking the Star Chariot, the two headed inside.
Before entering, Ye Xing reduced their presence so ordinary people wouldn’t notice them.
It wasn’t that Ye Xing didn’t want to flaunt their relationship—this time she wanted to show her true self to Luo Xi and not hide behind a facade.
She didn’t know how much Luo Xi cared about others’ opinions, but apparently, it wasn’t much.
In short, now it was just the two of them! Nobody would bother them.
Ye Xing eyed Luo Xi cautiously and asked tentatively.
“Um… shall we hold hands?”
“Mm, sure. I don’t want to get lost.”
“Well, that’s my line.”
No matter what, Luo Xi was only eighteen years old while Ye Xing, at over twenty, was obviously older.
But still, Luo Xi treated her like a child.
How dare she?
Ye Xing took Luo Xi’s hand and squeezed it warmly, dragging her along.
“Let’s start our adventures today! Have fun!”
“Mm.”
Although Luo Xi nodded, she still wore a blank expression, showing no signs of joy.
The emotionless one is in full effect.
It’s probably hard to make her smile.
But Ye Xing was determined to try harder!
Next,
Ye Xing led Luo Xi around the clothing section, picking out adorable clothes for her.
Of course, with Luo Xi’s strong charm, anything would suit her.
Ye Xing couldn’t help but pick out a whole bunch.
Luo Xi complied and tried on each piece, posing in the changing room without a hint of boredom.
For Ye Xing, this was pure bliss in watching Luo Xi be so cute.
Luo Xi found interest in observing Ye Xing’s enthusiasm.
At this rate,
they could swap outfits all day in the clothing section.
However, Ye Xing knew better than to go overboard.
After nearly half an hour, Ye Xing halted and picked more than ten outfits, handing them off for packing.
“Hey hey! Even if these outfits are expensive, I can easily afford them. If there’s anything else you fancy, just tell me.”
Needless to say,
her accumulated wealth in the future is massive.
Money was no object for this purchase.
Especially when treating the cutie.
Luo Xi gently nodded, gazing at Ye Xing.
“Don’t you need something for yourself?”
“No need. I have plenty of clothes at home. There will be no more space in the closet if I buy more, and I hate clutter.”
The closet in the Fishing House was indeed near full.
All clothes given by friends.
Adding more than a dozen pieces might cause a wardrobe rebellion.
Plus, even with more money, Ye Xing didn’t want to waste it.
If so many clothes haven’t been worn, why add more only to gather dust?
This time, she needed to focus solely on Luo Xi.
Even though she didn’t seem to lack garments.
Luo Xi’s eyes started exerting pressure.
“But this isn’t fair! You’ve changed so many times. It’s your turn.”
“Huh?”
“You changed so many outfits. Now I want to see you change.”
That was Luo Xi’s plan.
Everything had to be equal.
Since Ye Xing finds joy in this, it was only fair for Luo Xi to experience it.
After all, it’s their first time doing this together.
