Date Night

“How do I look? Is it pretty?”

In a crowded clothing store, the girl twirled around, her light-blue dress fanning out in the air, forming a vibrant, pure blue flower.

Delicate white lace patterns, like spring clouds, were casually scattered across the bright clear sky, and the pure white iris atop her head added a touch of pristine charm.

At this moment, Bai Luoxia was like heaven’s most cherished treasure, dimming the world’s splendor.

Even Sui Ming, who usually paid little attention to beauty, was momentarily stunned, lost in a daze.

“It’s… very beautiful, it suits you well.”

“Such a bland reaction, Sui Ming.” The girl was clearly a little displeased.

Knowing Sui Ming, this perennial blockhead, wasn’t a day or two. Even in the past, he was undoubtedly—the same.

You could probably strip naked in front of him, and he wouldn’t react at all.

To conquer such a man, one had to take the initiative.

And so, Bai Luoxia’s [Grand Plan to Conquer Sui Ming] officially commenced.

With the strong support of sponsor Miss Bai Yunqing, Mingxi City’s grand romantic comedy officially opened!

“Sui Ming, you won’t win over girls like this.” Bai Luoxia shook her head helplessly, then leaned in and whispered into his ear:

“At a time like this, wouldn’t a normal man usually grab his female companion’s new dress, then quickly run into the changing room to do something pleasurable?… Or are you… incapable?”

After the girl finished speaking, Sui Ming’s face suddenly turned red, and for a moment, he dared not look directly at Bai Luoxia.

“Where… where did you learn such… aggressive words?”

He even began to suspect that he was the female, and Bai Luoxia was like a hungry jackal, wanting to devour him, this little lamb, at the opportune moment.

“I… I didn’t teach you any of this…”

“Of course I taught myself. Do I need you to teach me such things?”

“Do you even know how many days you were unconscious?”

“A whole week, alright, seven days! Do you know how I spent those days?”

“If you didn’t still have vital signs, I would have thought you abandoned me again… wuwu… wuwu…”

Seeing Bai Luoxia on the verge of tears, Sui Ming no longer cared about propriety or reputation. Let the people around them think what they wanted; he couldn’t be bothered.

“Ah, alright, alright, it’s my fault, please don’t cry, okay?~”

The girl immediately threw herself into Sui Ming’s arms. Feeling his familiar warmth, the corners of Bai Luoxia’s lips involuntarily curved upwards.

The ploy succeeded!

“That… isn’t that Her Royal Highness? Why is she in a man’s arms?”

“Oh dear—she’s also human; she can’t go her whole life without a companion.”

More and more people gathered around, all onlookers enjoying the spectacle.

Sui Ming’s expression gradually grew impatient.

So many people watching, am I a monkey for their entertainment?

The silver-haired youth’s cold gaze swept over them, and an immense, powerful aura spread, like an icy purgatory in bitter cold, carrying endless might towards the crowd.

Many people suddenly felt a chill down their spines and dispersed, trembling.

Compared to watching a show, saving their own lives was better.

“What, don’t you like being watched by others? I don’t mind, you know.”

But Sui Ming did not show the expected panic; instead, he met Bai Luoxia’s serious gaze.

“I don’t want so many people watching you, that’s all.”

In that instant, Bai Luoxia, who was usually so unflappable, suddenly blushed, her head steaming as if a steam engine were installed inside.

“You… you…”

The girl buried her head in Sui Ming’s shoulder, her soft little fists repeatedly hitting his back.

The two spent the entire afternoon strolling through Mingxi City, and with it came the arrival of night.

The flowing moonlight shimmered, thousands of homes were brightly lit, and all things revived after the disaster; everything seemed so incredible.

As night deepened, Bai Luoxia pulled Sui Ming to a small hill outside Mingxi City.

The two sat together on the edge of the cliff, allowing the tranquil moonlight to spill over their figures.

“Sui Ming, do you still remember the past?” Bai Luoxia asked with interest.

“I once tried to forget my memories with you, but I ultimately found I couldn’t. I couldn’t discard the companionship of these three years, nor could I cut you out of my life.”

“Do you remember that time you and Uncle Xist held a birthday party for me? Although it wasn’t luxurious or fully prepared, it was the first time I felt I wasn’t alone in this world.”

“I remember. I also remember you were crying like an unstoppable fountain back then.” Sui Ming said casually, his hands behind his head, comfortably gazing at the bright moon.

“You! You shouldn’t talk about people’s embarrassing past!” Bai Luoxia suddenly sat up, glaring at Sui Ming with an angry expression.

“Alright, alright, I won’t say another word…”

“Hmph! I’m not talking to you anymore!” Bai Luoxia folded her arms across her chest, her cheeks puffed out like a hamster, and turned away.

Seeing this, even the wooden Sui Ming knew what was coming next.

“I want compensation! If you don’t give it, I won’t talk to you for a whole day! Uh… half a day… two hours… ten minutes?”

“Then… what kind of compensation do you want?” Sui Ming asked timidly.

Bai Luoxia smirked evilly, then pointed a finger at her lips.

“I want you… to take the initiative.”

Sui Ming let out a helpless sigh, then said: “Xiaoxia, I know you’ve been alone for these past few years, without anyone’ to accompany you.”

“Although I don’t understand these matters of love between men and women, I know that feelings should never be rushed. Everything depends on the wishes of both parties and their compatibility.”

“I’ve only just recovered my memories, and I don’t understand everything about this world yet.”

“I understand your obsession with love, or companionship, Xiaoxia, but… I’m afraid I can’t fully satisfy you right now.”

“That’s not important! I want you! You! Sui Ming!” The girl suddenly sat up, and before Sui Ming could react, she pushed him down, straddling his waist with her legs spread.

“You rudely broke open the door to my heart, walked into my life, but only left behind a trace, leaving a heartbroken girl.”

“And now you say you don’t want to take responsibility?”

“No, I don’t mean that, I mean…”

Several azure chains descended from the sky, coiling around Sui Ming, making him unable to move.

“Since you’re unwilling, then we’ll do it by force, shall we?” Bai Luoxia covered her face with a sickly smile, a faint pink flicker visible in her eyes.

“Wait! Wait! Xiaoxia, calm down!” For the first time, Sui Ming panicked.

Perhaps he hadn’t expected the girl’s obsession to be so great.

Just as Bai Luoxia was about to make her move, a pitch-black crow suddenly descended from the sky, scattering a light-blue powder from its wings.

Under the influence of this powder, Bai Luoxia swayed, until she completely lost consciousness.
