What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

"Aww!" Jiuge was startled and jumped up.

"hiss!"

An Chen and Jiu Ge both hissed at the same time.

Jiuge's forehead bumped into An Chen's chin once again.

"You...you...you..." Touching her forehead, Jiuge blushed and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Don't you like it?..." An Chen rubbed his chin, which had been injured twice, with an innocent expression.

"It's not that I don't like it... it's that I was scared..." Jiuge stood up, looking somewhat aggrieved.

What should have been a sweet moment was completely overshadowed by the pain; she forgot the sensation of the "kiss" on her forehead from the bump.

"I'll try my best not to scare you in the future..." An Chen sighed, looking quite helpless.

Why does his relationship with Jiuge seem different from other people's?

……

After resting for another half hour, An Chen took Jiu Ge out for a "date".

After changing his shoes and preparing a few shopping bags, he put the key to the door into his waistband pocket.

We don't have many things at home, so we definitely need to buy more.

He also needs to carefully consider the gifts he will give to Jiuge's parents and the birthday gift that Jiuge will choose for her mother.

It was already 2 PM, and the sun was blazing.

As if she had thought of something, Jiuge went back to get a parasol after only a few steps.

Even the fairest person can't withstand being exposed to the sun repeatedly.

At the entrance of the community, Zhang Zhidong and Mao Maotou calmly watched An Chen and Jiu Ge walk out, holding hands and carrying a parasol.

By now, they have become much wiser.

An Chen and Jiu Ge are living people; they are dead people.

Even the dead have to choose the right time to greet the living.

When there are passersby nearby, they should obediently stay at the Spirit World Mental Health Clinic and do their own thing.

They can only float out and say hello when no one is around.

Jiuge stared straight ahead, completely ignoring the few unfamiliar spirits scattered around her, seemingly much bolder.

If she hadn't been holding An Chen's hand tighter and getting closer to him, An Chen would have stopped and praised her.

The security guard I know from the community has been missing for some reason, and apart from Zhang Zhi, I don't know any of the other neighbors, including An Chen and Jiu Ge.

With no psychological burden and less shyness, Jiu Ge moved forward and clung closer and closer to An Chen.

Finally, she simply took An Chen's arm.

On such a hot day, Jiuge didn't care at all about the heat generated at close range.

An Chen seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.

The feeling of happiness he experienced from having physical contact with the girl he liked was even greater than he had ever imagined.

This time, An Chen and Jiu Ge walked a kilometer to the nearest subway station.

It took another forty minutes before the two of them got off the bus at Dawan Square.

Chapter 134 Professional Ethics

Upon arriving at Wan Plaza, An Chen pulled Jiu Ge toward a milk tea shop that was less crowded.

"Let's buy a couple of drinks beforehand, so we don't get thirsty while we're walking around," he suggested, squeezing Jiuge's hand.

Based on An Chen's observations over the years, regardless of the season, milk tea and fruit drinks sold by roadside shops seem to have a natural appeal to girls.

Whenever you go shopping or pass by a bubble tea shop, there are always many girls and some boys queuing up to order.

Out of curiosity, he had ordered takeout a few times and tried several different drinks.

To be fair, those drinks did taste good, but they weren't nearly enough to make An Chen obsessed.

"But... I've never drunk anything from inside, so I don't know what to drink..." Jiuge blinked helplessly.

Before she even reached the store entrance, she could already see posters displaying pictures of various drinks.

"Then order two drinks at random, take a sip of each, keep the one you like better for yourself, and give me the one you don't like as much," An Chen said without hesitation.

"Then...then isn't that an indirect kiss?!" Jiuge's shoulders trembled, and she froze a meter away from the beverage shop.

“You’re boyfriend and girlfriend now, so indirect kissing isn’t a big deal.” An Chen also stopped.

"Is...is that so?" Jiuge released An Chen's hand and began to put her index finger to her index finger.

That does seem to be true.

For couples, kissing seems like the most normal thing to do.

Her tendency to jump around like that is indeed quite strange.

"What if I like both cups... or I don't like either of them?" As she spoke, Jiu Ge's gaze shifted to An Chen's face.

"If you like them all... you can drink them all. If you don't like them, we won't come to this shop again." An Chen chuckled and pulled Jiu Ge back inside.

"However, in order to improve your social skills, you need to communicate with the staff yourself about what you want to order after entering the store, and it has to be a proper communication," he emphasized.

"Hmm... okay." Jiuge nodded and agreed.

"So what do you like to drink?" To avoid ordering something that An Chen might dislike, she still asked.

You can't just think about yourself; your boyfriend's thoughts are also very important.

“These things are all pretty much the same to me,” An Chen said with a smile and a shrug.

"Really?"

"real."

The milk tea shop that An Chen chose wasn't crowded, and there were still quite a few empty seats inside.

At his urging, Jiuge took a light breath and walked stiffly toward the shop assistant, her steps unsteady.

An Chen found a seat nearby and sat down, staring intently in the direction where Jiu Ge was.

For some reason, just looking at Jiu Ge's awkward expression made him a little nervous.

The staff member in charge of taking orders is very professional.

Even when facing Jiu Ge, who had a stiff expression, a blank face, and didn't say a word for a long time, she maintained a very standard professional smile.

"Hello, beautiful lady, what would you like to order?" The clerk repeated the question that had already been asked once.

Jiuge stared intently at the drink menu, remaining silent.

"Beautiful lady? Would you like me to recommend something to you?" The shop assistant suddenly understood.

The stunningly beautiful woman in front of you must be suffering from decision paralysis.

"Mmm." Jiuge suddenly nodded, her expression softening considerably.

"Would you like one cup or two?" Seeing that Jiuge had responded, the clerk secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Two cups, different ones." Jiuge's voice was soft, and her expression was somewhat nervous.

For a very long time, this was the first time she had faced a stranger with the most natural attitude she could.

"Then I'd like to recommend the newly released large fruit tea barrel and the ever-popular pink rose milk tea," the clerk said, pointing to the drink menu.

“Okay, then I’ll take these two.” Jiuge took out her phone and opened the QR code.

"Would you like it chilled or at room temperature?"

"icy."

"Normal sweetness or what level of sweetness?"

"Normal sweetness."

"Okay, no problem. Please find a seat and we'll bring your drink over when it's ready." The clerk handed the receipt to Jiuge.

After receiving the receipt, Jiuge turned around.

With a happy expression, she walked over and sat down opposite An Chen.

"I got the receipt." Jiu Ge looked at An Chen with an unusually sincere expression.

"Yes, I know, you did a great job." An Chen patted Jiu Ge's head and praised her.

"The shop assistant said they'd bring it over to me as soon as it's ready." Jiuge let out a breath, seemingly relieved that her courage had finally paid off.

"Mmm." An Chen nodded, a sense of relief welling up inside him.

"Then let's use this time to discuss what gifts we should buy later?" he suggested.

"Okay, sure." Jiuge still had a gentle smile on her face, and she looked genuinely happy.

"Have you thought about what your parents would like?" An Chen asked, looking at Jiu Ge.

When giving gifts to your girlfriend's parents, it's best to choose something they like.

What ordinary people consider valuable and desirable may not necessarily meet their standards.

"I don't know... Actually, I haven't even thought about what birthday present I should give my mother this year." Jiuge shook her head, looking troubled.

She put her arm on the table and pouted.

"My mother didn't seem very interested in the gifts that my caregivers gave her before."

“…” An Chen rubbed his temples.

"What did you send before?" His damned curiosity suddenly swelled up again.

"The first gift was a plaque plated with gold and diamonds, with the words 'For the best mother' written on it. According to the housekeeper, my mother didn't react at all when she received it," Jiuge recalled.

"..."

An Chen remained silent.
