"The weather is nice today." After a tiring day yesterday, I received a message from Xie Yuning early in the morning. It seems she wanted to emphasize that the weather is good, as she added a sun emoji at the end.

"It does seem nice." The sunlight was shining through the window onto my face, undoubtedly a good weather. But what could happen on a good day?

"Right, the weather is really nice, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is very nice."

"What do people usually do on a nice day?" I was completely puzzled.

Maybe my mind wasn't clear, as I couldn't think of what to do on a good weather day.

"?"

"It's sunny today, and the air is particularly fresh."

"Oh, yes."

"Sunny and fresh air, such a good weather."

"I know, the weather is really nice today."

"With such good weather, what should we do?"

I was still confused, but Xie Yuning was already showing signs of impatience.

"If you have to ask me like this..." I fell into a brief moment of contemplation. "Exercise." I sent the message, expressing my thoughts.

"Your brain is really made of wood."

"Why do I have to be unfathomably criticized by you?"

"Hmph, I knew it. You want to ask me out on a date, you're so hypocritical."

"I... didn't. You suddenly mentioned the weather."

"Meet at the station at 9 o'clock, don't blame me if you're late."

She sent a few angry emojis in a row, and I wanted to retort, but no matter what I replied, Xie Yuning didn't respond. She was too dominant, so I had no choice but to go.

In the meantime, Zhiye asked where I was going, and I just made up a lame excuse that I wanted to go for a walk outside, without needing Zhiye's company.

It was quite a hassle, but Zhiye let me go alone.

When I arrived at the station, I noticed a beautiful girl with blonde hair wearing a school uniform sitting on the chair at the station.

"You're so slow."

I hadn't even realized who the other person was, and she proactively spoke. Suddenly, I was stunned by the sight of the beautiful girl in front of me.

"Is your body reacting to me?" Her tone was slightly disdainful.

"What... what?"

"I knew it, even though you look honest, you're actually a pervert."

"Don't give me such a nickname out of nowhere, okay?"

I immediately snapped out of my daze. Even though I was a bit absent-minded just now, I didn't hesitate at all to refute her accusation.

"Did Miss say anything wrong?"

"Of course I didn't."

"I don't think Miss said anything wrong at all."

"Well, you need evidence for that."

"Just based on you staring at me with lustful eyes just now."

"I... I didn't."

"Hmph... You're exposed now, aren't you?"

"I didn't!" At this moment, the bus happened to stop, and Xie Yuning grabbed my hand, ignoring my protests, and pulled me onto the bus.

Once on the bus, I found a seat. After confirming that no one else was boarding, the bus slowly accelerated.

"You can let go of my hand now."

"Oh..."

"Don't hold my hand without my consent..."

"I..." I quickly let go of her hand.

"Hmph..." Xie Yuning turned her gaze out the window, but I was met with mocking expressions from others on the bus.

This awkward feeling lasted until we got off the bus. Then I started feeling better.

"You were the one who held my hand earlier."

"If you want to hold my hand, just do it without making so many excuses."

"I never thought of holding..." I was a little angry, but before I could finish my sentence, Xie Yuning held my hand again.

"Well, I'll reluctantly hold your hand."

In fact, it was Xie Yuning who took the initiative to hold my hand, not letting me resist in any way, and she led me towards the commercial street.

The bustling commercial street attracted many people's attention.

"Wow, such a pretty girl."

"Yes, yes, she looks so beautiful, like a doll."

"But the guy next to her looks so average."

"It's completely unrelated."

Listening to the people around me discussing, I felt my heart being stabbed by an invisible knife, over and over again.

"This shop looks nice," Xie Yuning seemed indifferent. He really has a big heart. But they were actually talking about me, and I suddenly felt a sense of sadness.

"Hello, what would you like to drink?" the waiter asked as soon as we sat down.

"I'll have a strawberry sundae," Xie Yuning said without hesitation. His confidence is commendable. But they were actually talking about me. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness.

"And what about you, sir?"

"I'll have a glass of orange juice."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

As the waiter left, Xie Yuning spoke again, "This place is actually quite nice."

Affected by what happened earlier, I didn't observe the environment when I entered the shop. I looked around.

"It indeed is," the melodious sound of a violin playing in the background easily calmed my mood.

"It's rare for Miss [小姐, a polite way to refer to a young lady] to have the same opinion as me," Xie Yuning gave me an appreciative look. But I didn't feel happy because of his praise. I was still upset about what happened earlier.

Seemingly sensing my unhappiness, Xie Yuning scooped a spoonful of strawberry sundae and handed it to me.

"Ah~"

"Xie Yuning, what are you doing..."

"Miss [小姐] wants you to taste it first."

"But I don't really like sweet things..."

"Shut up and eat it obediently." Seeing Xie Yuning's firm attitude, I ate it with the intention of giving it a try.

"It's so sweet!" The overwhelming sweetness made it a bit hard for me to handle at first. But since Xie Yuning was well-intentioned, I didn't show any signs of disgust.

I took a sip of the orange juice, which was relatively less sweet compared to the sundae.

Xie Yuning really likes these desserts, as I could see her continuously spooning them into her mouth.

Wait a minute, I used that spoon just now. I felt a bit alarmed, but Xie Yuning didn't seem to care at all. I didn't want to bring up this issue, so I decided to keep quiet.

"Delicious! The strawberry sundae is truly heavenly," Xie Yuning showed a satisfied expression, which really looked like the expression of someone who had just tasted the most delicious thing.

It's too exaggerated. This overly sweet thing is not tasty to me at all, but Xie Yuning loves it so much.

"Should we consider getting another serving to go when we leave?" Xie Yuning started thinking about it as we were leaving the shop.

Aren't you afraid of having too much sugar in your bloodstream? I had this doubt.

"Or maybe let Mora buy several more portions for Miss," Xie Yuning suggested.

"Several portions?" I was shocked internally, but regarding the name Mora mentioned by Xie Yuning, I think she must be their maid. The daughters of wealthy families really are different, buying whatever they want.

"What are you thinking? Are you thinking something dirty again?" Xie Yuning squinted at me.

"I am not that kind of person."

"Whether you are that kind of person or not, it's not determined by just saying it."

"But I really didn't..."

"Even if you think so..." Xie Yuning suddenly lowered her voice.

"What did you say?"

"Mind your own business!"

"What has bothered you this time?" She suddenly got angry at me again. Her temperament really changed drastically. I started to feel a headache. Why did I agree to come out with Xie Yuning in the first place?

"Anyway, just stop being stubborn. It's time to go to the next place."

"Then, where are we going now?"

"To that... Let's go."

"What is that..." I followed Xie Yuning's finger to look in that direction.

"The arcade."

"That... let's go."

"Wait..." Without waiting for me to finish speaking, Xie Yuning dragged me inside. Looking at the colorful machines and the many people inside, Xie Yuning bought a lot of coin-like items from the counter. I felt like I had seen these things before, but I was also unfamiliar with them. It felt like my first time here.

We played a shooting game first. It was the type where you control a pistol and shoot at some terrifying moving creatures.

"You, you're so slow to react."

"It's because the enemy is too fast. I can't hit them at all."

"You're so dumb..."

"Don't blame me for this. Watching the merciless boss kill us over and over again, with the game over countdown appearing every time..."

"This time, cooperate with me properly."

"I'll do my best." I really can't play this shooting game, but Xie Yuning has an unbeatable spirit.

"Attack the boss's weak point."

"Alright." I also used all my skills, shooting at the boss's weak point relentlessly, and finally, the boss was defeated.

"We did it, right?" Xie Yuning said with a smile, looking at the level cleared on the screen.

"But it's really difficult to play." I felt exhausted.

"As a man, you really don't have the stamina," Xie Yuning said.

"I've been playing this game for over an hour, dying multiple times at the boss. How can I not be tired?"

Not only is my body tired, but my heart is tired too. I feel like giving up after being repeatedly defeated.

"This is just the second level."

"Yes, the second level. The first level was a piece of cake."

"This shooting game is considered simple."

"I've played the second level so many times," it's not simple at all, it's simply a trial from hell. In the end, I've spent so many game coins.

"No matter how tough it is, I'll still overcome it." Especially the phrase "overcome it," it's just using a brute force strategy.

"Next, I'll continue the assault."

"Let's play something else, what about that dance machine?" I pointed to the dancing machine.

"The dance machine is actually my strong suit."

"Then let's try the dance machine. Besides, no one is playing it now."

"Since you want to see me play the dance machine so much, I'll fulfill your wish."

"Okay... okay." Xie Yuning was finally persuaded to play the dance machine. In fact, she's terrible at this shooting game too. Besides blaming me for everything, she can't hit any enemies herself. If she continues to play the third level, not only will she run out of game coins, but she will also waste her time on this shooting game. However, I really can't play this shooting game anymore, and I don't know why Xie Yuning isn't tired at all.

"We're running out of game coins, let's replenish them a bit." Xie Yuning handed me a large bill.

"How much should I get?"

"Of course, all of it."

"All of it..." It's true that money makes people reckless. I shook my head and went to the counter to exchange the large bill for game coins.

"You're so slow."

"I can't even carry this many game coins, the weight is too much."

"I didn't expect your stamina to be so poor," Xie Yuning said, taking out a few game coins and inserting them into the dancing machine's coin slot. As the game started, the beautiful music started to play.

"I'll show you how amazing I am," just like a dancer about to perform on stage, Xie Yuning was ready.
