You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

That evening, Jiang Che got off work and returned home on time.

When I entered, Su Qinghe was curled up on the sofa, studying Chapter Twelve of her accounting textbook.

There was a stack of draft paper filled with notes next to him, and he was holding a pencil that was almost chewed to a shredd.

Hearing the door open, she reflexively looked up, her eyes filled with joy instead of weariness.

"Ah Che! You're back so early today!"

"Last day, not much work." Jiang Che changed into slippers and walked over, glancing at the textbook spread out in front of her. "Cost accounting? You've already covered this much?"

"Hmm!" Su Qinghe nodded, a hint of pride in her voice. "I'll finish reading the basics in just two more chapters."

Jiang Che didn't rush to praise her. Instead, he put his briefcase on the coffee table and tilted his head to look at her for two seconds.

Su Qinghe felt a little uneasy under his gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Su Qinghe, classmate."

"Um?"

"I have a question for you."

Su Qinghe put down her pencil and looked at him seriously. "Go on."

"How long have we been together?"

Su Qinghe was surprised that he would ask such a question. After a moment of surprise, she seriously counted on her fingers, "If we count from when we officially confirmed our relationship after the college entrance examination... it's been more than two months, right?"

"More than two months." Jiang Che repeated the number, then put on a pained expression. "More than two months have passed, have you noticed that we've missed doing something very important?"

Su Qinghe's mind raced.

What was left undone?

The grain tax was paid, love letters were written, notes were kept in a journal, group photos were taken, and the trip was even arranged...

She suddenly blushed. "You... what mischief are you planning to do now?"

Jiang Che almost choked on her words.

"I meant a date!" He tapped Su Qinghe on the head irritably. "A proper date! What's going on in your head?"

Su Qinghe covered her head and glared at him with a wronged expression, "Then why didn't you explain it clearly..."

However, after being reminded by him, Su Qinghe did realize what he meant.

That's really true.

The two of them traveled from Lincheng to the capital, experiencing so many things along the way.

He's weathered life-or-death crises, family feuds, and college application dilemmas, but he's never seriously done anything like the most ordinary thing—dating.

When I was in Lincheng, I was either busy reviewing or dealing with various emergencies.

After arriving in the capital, Jiang Che interned at the company during the day, while she studied textbooks at home. In the evenings, the two of them would either study together or go to bed early.

Life is peaceful and stable, but when it comes to romance, it seems to be lacking something.

"So... how do you want to go on a date?" Su Qinghe's voice unconsciously lowered, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.

She actually doesn't have much dating experience.

To be precise, there is none at all.

Before meeting Jiang Che, she had very little normal social life, let alone dating.

Jiang Che looked at her expectant yet nervous expression and couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

"I'll take you out tomorrow."

"Where to?"

"Keep it a secret."

Su Qinghe puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction. "You always do this!"

"Surprise, surprise! What kind of surprise would it be if I told you in advance?" Jiang Che reached out and pinched her puffed-up cheeks. "All you need to do is get up tomorrow morning and dress yourself up nicely."

Su Qinghe complained that it was "annoying," but her body betrayed her by jumping up from the sofa.

"Then I'll go pick out some clothes right now!"

After saying that, he ran upstairs to the second floor in a flash.

Jiang Che watched her run up the stairs, shook his head, and chuckled.

……

The next morning at eight o'clock.

Jiang wore a white short-sleeved T-shirt with light blue jeans, and a thin khaki workwear jacket over it.

She was wearing a pair of white sneakers, and her hair was casually styled upwards with hair wax.

She looked incredibly neat and tidy.

He stood in the entrance hall on the first floor, holding a canvas bag containing the things he would need for the day.

Footsteps echoed down the stairs.

Su Qinghe came down from the second floor, wearing a brown preppy-style short skirt and a pink thin knitted cardigan.

Her long hair wasn't tied up, but rather casually draped over her shoulders.

She exudes a youthful and sweet aura, as if she stepped out of a watercolor painting.

She stood at the top of the stairs, lowering her head somewhat shyly. "How was it? Was it too casual?"

Jiang Che stared at her for three seconds.

"Not casually." He stepped forward and reached out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "It looks beautiful."

A faint blush rose to Su Qinghe's face. She turned her head away and muttered softly, "She's just trying to make me happy."

The two quickly went out, and Jiang Che's old partner, the Jetta, was finally able to rest. A white Porsche sports car took over its work.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Su Qinghe asked Jiang Che curiously again, "So where are we going?"

"You'll know when we get there," Jiang Che replied, maintaining the same answer.

Su Qinghe snorted and turned to look at the street scene rushing past the window, trying to determine her destination from the direction of travel.

But she wasn't very familiar with the roads in the capital, and after looking around for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out.

About forty minutes later, the car turned onto a wide, tree-lined avenue.

Su Qinghe saw a huge signpost standing by the roadside, with a colorful logo and several large characters printed on it—

"Starry Dreamland".

Her eyes lit up immediately.

"An amusement park?!"

"Hmm." Jiang Che smoothly parked the car in the parking lot, turned off the engine, and turned to look at her. "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Su Qinghe shook her head vigorously, her voice trembling slightly with excitement: "I...I've never been to an amusement park before."

Jiang Che knew, of course, that Su Qinghe had never been to an amusement park.

He knew better than anyone what kind of life she had led during her more than ten years in the Su family.

While other little girls have childhood memories of carousels and cotton candy, Su Qinghe's memories are filled with cold stares and harsh treatment.

That's why he chose this place.

He wanted to make up for everything she was missing, one by one.

"Let's go." Jiang Che pushed open the car door and got out, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, and stretched out his hand to Su Qinghe. "Today you're in charge. Do whatever you want, eat whatever you want."

Su Qinghe looked at his outstretched hand, and her nose inexplicably felt a little sore.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the sour feeling, and then reached out and grasped his palm.

When entering the park, Jiang Che showed his e-ticket on his mobile phone, and the staff scanned the code to let him in.

Once inside the park, Su Qinghe was like a bird released from its cage.

She dragged Jiang Che along the colorful themed street, looking left and right. Sometimes she was attracted by a clown holding up balloons by the roadside, and sometimes she couldn't stop looking at the cotton candy cart.

"Ah Che, Ah Che, I want to eat that! The pink one!"

Jiang Che obediently walked over and bought a pink cotton candy, handing it to her.

Su Qinghe took the marshmallow and took a big bite. The sugar strands stuck to the tip of her nose, but she didn't notice. She just squinted her eyes and showed an extremely satisfied smile.

The two walked along the route that Jiang Che had planned in advance.
