"Why did you call here?" asked Xia Zhao as he took a seat beside Mu Chenyan.
Mu Chenyan turned her head towards him and asked, "Why? I can't call you out to see . What kind of a girlfriend I am if I don't even get to call my boyfriend out?"
Xia Zhao raised his brow at her in surprise and answered, "When did I say you have no right? I'm always at your beck and call. Whether we are dating or not. So, don't get so irritated over this small matter." He rubbed her head as she added, "I just asked that question because you usually don't call unless you have sothing to do with ."
"So, you're saying I'm the bad guy in this relationship?" she asked.
"Exactly when did I say that?" he asked in confusion. "Can you stop coming up with your own explanations? Don't find faults with . Who pissed you off?"
Mu Chenyan pouted, "I ca out with Yue Yue to buy so stuff. And she actually left alone. Just so she can go and watch a movie with that stupid, Zhai Kuijun. I can't believe that friends are not as important as lovers."
Xia Zhao sighed at her, "Do you wanna watch a movie too?"
"When did I say that?" asked Mu Chenyan. She scowled at him, "You aren't trying to find your own anings from my words now, are you?"
"I'm learning from you," he said without denying it at all.
Mu Chenyan tsked at him, "By the way, why are you sitting here with ? There is a seat on the other side too."
"But I want to sit here since it's closer to you," he replied.
Mu Chenyan gave him a look, "You've changed."
"You brought this change, you take responsibility."
"Am I not taking responsibility already?" she asked in return. "I would have kicked you away by now otherwise."
Xia Zhao smiled at her words, "Well, thank you for your kindness and magnanimity." He took a pause and asked, "Do you really not want to watch a movie? We don't seem to have done that. Ever."
"Don't want to," she replied. "There is a race tomorrow night at Xale Mountain. Do you want to go there?"
Mu Chenyan perked up, "Is it an official race or so teenagers ssing around?"
"It's an official one," he answered.
Mu Chenyan held his hand, "Let's go. I want to go."
"It's tomorrow," reminded Xia Zhao. "I knew you'd be happy about this. Don't worry, I'll take you there."
"Okay," replied Mu Chenyan. "Tell the ti. I'll get everything done before that."
"So, it's a date?" he asked.
Mu Chenyan stared at him, "Do you have to call it that?"
"Why not?"
"Firstly, we are already this old."
"So what? It's still our first relationship. Why can we go on dates?"
Mu Chenyan didn't argue about that and said, "I miss the ti when you used to not talk much."
Xia Zhao tapped her nose, "We always miss the things that are lost because we only understand their value once they are no longer around us."
"We have done everything there is to do," started Mu Chenyan. "That's why I don't think we need to call it a date at this point."
"Does it really matter what we call it?"
"That's what I am saying," she said.
"Yeah. And that's why I want to call it a date," he replied.
Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at him.
"By the way, there is a lot we haven't done together. Just take watching a movie in the cinema together," reminded Xia Zhao.
"The only things we never got to do together are the ones that we don't like to do," she said. "Okay. Stop this discussion and go and order yourself a drink or sothing."
Xia Zhao shook his head at her and went to order himself a drink before coming to sit with her, "Do you still have things you wanna buy?" "Why?"
"I'll accompany you. Why else did you call ? To argue with you here or to just look at your beautiful face. I an I don't really mind doing that either."
Mu Chenyan put her hand on her temple to hide her smile and only after suppressing her smile did she say, "Of course, I called you to do so shopping with . You think you can escape?"
"If I wanted to escape from you, I wouldn't be here," he said.
Xia Zhao got his iced Aricano and listened to Mu Chenyan talking animatedly about what she had done and what still needed to be done on her checklist. Of course, his eyes were glued to her face as he took in every single change in her expression while sipping on his drink. Xia Zhao put his hand on her head as he said, "Aiyo, our Yan Zi sure is working hard. Are you tired? Why do you take a break? Do you have to do everything on your own?"
Mu Chenyan looked into his eyes and knew that he was very sincere when he said those words. It made her smile as she said, "I have to do everything on my own. I don't know about others but I know you understand the reason very well for it."
Xia Zhao nodded his head, "I indeed understand. You might have never called Raelle your daughter but in truth, that exactly is who she is to you. But at the sa ti, you are more than that to her. So, you feel like you have to do everything. You want to experience it. I don't know what emotions you're going through but I still understand how important this wedding is to you."
Mu Chenyan's smile deepened as she leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "I knew I wouldn't have to tell you anything. You just know everything."
"You don't mind that anymore? That I can see through you?"
