In Jianghai City, a place where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, luxury sports cars costing millions can be seen everywhere on the bustling streets.
A Mercedes-Benz worth over 300,000 yuan naturally wouldn't attract much attention on the road.
While waiting at a traffic light together, the only thing that might catch other drivers' eyes about this Mercedes was its pristine newness and the dazzling paint job gleaming in the sunlight.
It was clear at a glance that this was a brand-new car, and its owner appeared to be quite young and proper.
Driving up to the entrance of Zhuhai University, students were coming and going in a steady stream.
From a distance, Shen Lang spotted Su Lexuan's slender figure, standing under a banyan tree by the school gate, sheltering from the glaring sun.
The weather was hot today, and Su Lexuan was wearing a simple white T-shirt, blue jeans, and pink and white sneakers.
Her beautiful, long black hair was tied into a lively, playful ponytail, revealing a smooth, fair forehead. Her mischievous eyes occasionally gazed down the road.
As if by intuition.
The moment Shen Lang's Mercedes-Benz appeared in her sight, Su Lexuan was startled.
Only after confirming that the driver was Shen Lang did her lips slowly curve into a smile, playful and adorable, filled with a strong sense of anticipation.
Shen Lang slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road and honked twice.
Su Lexuan raised a hand to shield herself from the blazing sun, then happily jogged over to open the car door, sitting demurely and properly in the passenger seat.
Shen Lang immediately felt a surge of youthful vitality radiating from Su Lexuan towards him.
"Shen Lang, where are we going to have fun later?"
Su Lexuan asked, her gaze unfocused, nervously picking at her nails.
It was like an online relationship meeting in person; even though they had chatted happily for over two hours last night.
But now that they met, Su Lexuan felt a little nervous and excited, just like when they went on their first date.
[1: Angrily scold: Can you please put on your seatbelt? This is my new car, I don't want to get a ticket!] [2: Help her buckle her seatbelt and gently suggest: Let's go to Century Plaza first, then watch a movie after lunch, and stroll around Nanting Lake in the evening.] [3: Regretfully ask: Why aren't you wearing white stockings today? Black would be fine too, don't you know I have a leg fetish?]
"Damn, how does the System know I have a leg fetish?"
Shen Lang silently grumbled to himself, then unbuckled his own seatbelt and leaned over to help Su Lexuan with hers.
As Shen Lang leaned closer, he caught a faint, delicate scent.
It wasn't a strong perfume smell, but more like a shower gel mixed with a young girl's natural body scent.
Shen Lang was surprised. "Are all girls' bodies naturally fragrant like this?"
Not only that, but as Shen Lang buckled her seatbelt, he could vaguely hear Su Lexuan swallow.
After fastening the seatbelt, Shen Lang accidentally noticed that Su Lexuan's cheeks were already flushed, her eyes shyly averted, and her light pink cherry lips pressed together.
"Damn, so cute. I should be able to steal a kiss today, right?"
Shen Lang thought with anticipation.
"Ahem, let's go to Century Plaza first."
Shen Lang returned to the driver's seat, buckling his own seatbelt as he chuckled, "After lunch, we can go watch a movie, and then stroll around Nanting Lake in the evening. How does that sound?"
"Mm, whatever you say."
Su Lexuan happily agreed.
Most guys on their first date rack their brains trying to pick the perfect dating spots and meal plans for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, afraid of leaving a bad impression on the girl.
In reality, when a girl is willing to go out with a guy, she doesn't necessarily want to wander around or shop in specific places.
As long as she's with the guy she likes, and they're not going somewhere too boring, girls will happily accept.
However, if it's a gold-digger, she'll try every trick to take the guy to the most high-end restaurants and most luxurious clothing stores, then rip him off mercilessly.
With the System's help, Shen Lang drove while finding topics to break the slightly dull atmosphere in the car.
Under Shen Lang's humorous and witty conversation, Su Lexuan gradually warmed up, and her demure and proper demeanor from before getting in the car instantly vanished.
The car was immediately filled with laughter and joy.
It was already noon after exploring the bustling Century Plaza.
After having steak at a Western restaurant, the two held hands and went to the cinema, choosing a Thai horror movie.
For a date at the movies, romance and horror films are the best choices.
Romance movies can increase the intimate atmosphere between them, even leading to spontaneous kisses when feelings run deep.
Horror movies, on the other hand, give the guy a good reason to hold the girl's hand, and even legitimately accept her snuggling into his arms.
It had to be said, Thai horror movies were indeed well-made; even Shen Lang, the brave man, broke out in a cold sweat.
During the movie, it was actually Shen Lang who was often scared and reached for Su Lexuan's hand.
Yet, he shamelessly told Su Lexuan, "Don't be scared, it's all fake. I'm right here!"
Su Lexuan naturally knew Shen Lang was genuinely scared; after all, his startled reactions couldn't possibly be faked.
However, she liked it when Shen Lang took the initiative. While trying to suppress a laugh and nodding, she naturally took his hand.
After the movie, they spent another two hours playing claw machines at the arcade.
By the time they drove away from Century Plaza, it was already past 6 PM.
Nanting Lake, located in the city center, was one of Jianghai City's most popular recreational spots.
Here, nature and urban prosperity intertwined, creating a unique scene.
By the time they arrived at Nanting Lake, it was almost 8 PM, yet many tourists and residents were still there, sight-seeing and relaxing.
Hand in hand, they walked intimately along the willow-lined lake shore.
Their conversation gradually turned more romantic, like a couple deeply in love.
"Shen Lang, do you know? A lot of people are asking about you on the school forum now."
Su Lexuan leaned against Shen Lang's shoulder, raising her dependent eyes, and said with a hint of smugness, "Are you scared to be with the Campus Belle?"
"Heh, what am I scared of?"
Shen Lang tightened his grip on Su Lexuan's hand.
"Do you believe me? This Monday, when you go to school, I'll drive right there and kiss you in front of all those students!"
"Haha, really? You were such a chicken last time, pretending to tie your shoelaces. Don't think I didn't know!"
Su Lexuan couldn't stop laughing. Surrounded by the atmosphere of their budding romance, she loved hearing such bold declarations of affection. She looked up at Shen Lang, her eyes reflecting only him.
But Su Lexuan never realized that Shen Lang had never actually confessed to her, and their relationship as a couple had yet to be officially defined.
