A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

Chapter 186 Are you being coquettish?

Lu Yang paid the money.

Li Xixue stood at the door waiting for him.

She had a band-aid on her heel, and the soles of her flat shoes were very soft, making it much more comfortable.

At this moment, the shop assistant put the pair of black high heels into a bag and handed it to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang took it and walked to her side.

"Let's go."

The two left the shoe store and continued walking along the street.

This time, Li Xixue's steps were noticeably lighter than before.

We walked for a while.

She noticed that Lu Yang was always carrying the bag containing the high heels.

"Give me."

"What?"

"I'll get the shoes myself."

Lu Yang refused, saying, "Why are you carrying it? It's not heavy, and it's only natural to help your wife carry things."

Li Xixue pursed her lips and said nothing.

Without realizing it, she seemed to have gotten used to being called "wife".

There were many pedestrians on the street.

It's the weekend, so this area is always bustling.

Neither of them spoke.

Li Xixue walked to Lu Yang's left, occasionally glancing at the shops along the roadside.

She wasn't looking at anything in particular, but she couldn't keep staring at Lu Yang forever.

After walking for a few minutes, there was a small open-air square in the center of the pedestrian street ahead, with a fountain next to it.

On the benches nearby sat several young couples.

The boy's arm was around the girl's waist, and the girl leaned on the boy's shoulder.

The scene looks very sweet.

Li Xixue's gaze lingered for only a moment.

Then quickly retrieve it.

Well, she pretended not to see the couples and continued walking.

Lu Yang saw it too.

He glanced at the couples sticking together in the square, then looked at Li Xixue walking beside him.

The two stood side by side, very close.

Lu Yang turned to look at her and suddenly asked, "So... are we on a date now?"

"???"

Li Xixue stopped abruptly, feigning ignorance: "What?"

"A date."

Lu Yang tilted his head: "I asked you out, we had dinner, went shopping, and I even bought you shoes. Would you say that counts as a date?"

"Dating……"

Li Xixue stood there, stunned for a moment, and then answered, "No."

Why doesn't it count?

"because……"

Li Xixue said with a serious expression, "You didn't say you were going on a date."

Lu Yang: "..."

Fine.

He didn't say it.

Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "But... I guess we should call this a date."

Li Xixue rested her chin on her hand, thinking seriously for a moment, then asked, "Do you know what a date is?"

To be honest, she had never thought about this question from childhood to adulthood.

Moreover, for someone who has never been in a relationship, this word shouldn't even exist in her life.

Lu Yang explained with a smile, "A date actually means that a man and a woman set aside time to meet, not to talk about work, but to have a heart-to-heart talk, and ideally, to have a deep conversation."

"for example?"

"For example, having a meal together."

"..."

"For example, going shopping together."

"..."

"For example, taking a walk together."

"..."

"For example, sleeping together."

Li Xixue pursed her lips.

Isn't that exactly what they're doing right now?

"...Even so."

The streetlight cast a warm glow on her face, and her voice was so soft it was almost drowned out by the surrounding voices: "So what?"

Lu Yang hadn't expected her to admit it.

He froze for a moment.

Then he laughed.

Lu Yang repeated it in her tone.

"Nothing much, just checking."

Li Xixue looked up at him: "Confirm what?"

"Confirm our current relationship."

Lu Yang said this in a very casual tone.

Li Xixue frowned.

What is their relationship?

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found herself unsure how to define it.

Legally speaking, the two are indeed husband and wife.

However, in terms of their actual relationship, they are not considered a couple.

For example, dating or something.

This was their first time.

It feels strange, but it seems pretty good too.

"Haven't we always had this kind of relationship?"

Li Xixue brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and mumbled something.

"What?"

"that is……"

Li Xixue hesitated for a long time, unable to say anything.

The fountain in the square was still spraying, and the mist spread out under the lights. There were quite a few people sitting around.

Li Xixue's gaze wandered aimlessly, her eyes darting around.

Then, she saw a picture.

On a bench to the right of the square, a young couple is kissing.

The boy's hand was around the back of the girl's head, and the girl's hand was clutching the boy's clothes.

The two kissed passionately.

Li Xixue's gaze lingered for only a moment before quickly turning away.

She pretended to be looking at a tree next to her.

Lu Yang naturally saw it too.

"What are you looking at?"

"The grove of trees."

"Are you looking at trees so late at night?"

"...Can't a tree grow beautifully?"

Li Xixue thought the topic was over.

Who knew that Lu Yang would suddenly stick close to him.

"You said we've already gone on a date, so how about... we give it a try?"

When Lu Yang finished speaking, he leaned slightly towards her.

Li Xixue's feet were rooted to the spot.

She could feel Lu Yang's breath right in front of her face, very close.

"you……"

She took half a step back.

But she forgot that there was a railing over the square behind her.

His lower back slammed into the railing, leaving him with nowhere to retreat.

Lu Yang didn't move forward, but he didn't back away either. He just stood there, one hand on the railing behind her, his body leaning slightly forward.

Li Xixue's heart pounded out of control, and her breathing became erratic.

It's not the kind of slow acceleration; it's the kind that jumps straight from 60 to 120.

She could clearly see the faint curve at the corner of the other person's mouth.

Seeing her flustered appearance, Lu Yang laughed and said, "It's not like we haven't kissed before."

"That doesn't count!"

Li Xixue's ears burned.

Which one was an accident?

And strictly speaking, it wasn't even a real kiss!

She was forcibly kissed!

"Oh? Why doesn't it count?"

"because……"

Li Xixue's voice trailed off: "That was an accident."
