"There's nothing else I want."
She grabbed Si Yanjing's hand holding the prince bear and pushed the prince bear into his chest, leaning toward him in the process.
The distance between them suddenly closed.
Si Yanjing's body stiffened the moment he touched Su Zhiyi's hand.
The moment the fragrant softness entered his arms, his expression changed entirely. He could no longer maintain his confident pride. It was as if a little deer was bumping around in his heart, throwing him into panic.
"I just want you to keep the prince bear."
"Because... my princess bear would also feel lonely and often think of the prince bear."
"Can we let them see each other often from now on? That way, she won't be lonely anymore."
"And I won't be lonely either."
Su Zhiyi placed one hand on Si Yanjing's chest. Through the thin fabric, the palm of her hand seemed to feel his rising body temperature and his uncontrollably racing heartbeat...
She saw Si Yanjing's sexy Adam's apple bob up and down.
Even she could hear the sound of him swallowing.
Then Si Yanjing's hoarse, magnetic voice sounded above her head.
"Mm. Then let them see each other often."
In the afternoon, Su Zhiyi and Si Yanjing watched a romance movie that had just been released two days ago.
Compared to sweet or bitter romance movies, Su Zhiyi preferred slightly scary, brain-burning mystery movies.
But when watching a movie with a man... she would still choose either a horror movie or a romance movie.
If she chose a horror movie, she could pretend to be scared and take the opportunity to hide in his arms. He wouldn't refuse her coming to him; instead, he would develop a protective instinct, soothe her, and comfort her.
If she chose a romance movie, she could also lean closer to him when the love between the male and female leads heated up in the movie.
Both physical and psychological distance would be shortened because of the movie.
Once the psychological distance was further narrowed, she could take the opportunity to bring up her true purpose for this trip.
After the psychological distance shortened, Si Yanjing wouldn't refuse any request she made.
Everything was under her control.
*
After the movie, it was getting late.
Before this date, Si Yanjing had been relatively passive in his relationship with Su Zhiyi. Most of the time, Su Zhiyi led the development of their intimate relationship.
Su Zhiyi didn't mind being in a dominant position in a relationship, nor did she mind being passive.
Today's date itinerary was entirely planned by her.
Si Yanjing had just returned to A City not long ago and wasn't familiar with it. If it were left to him, today's date would probably be ruined.
The second-to-last item on the date itinerary was dinner.
The dinner location was also a restaurant Su Zhiyi had "carefully" chosen.
In an understated but luxurious French restaurant, the melodious sound of a violin echoed through the hall.
There weren't many diners, and those who were dining were all well-off. They all kept their voices low when talking. Apart from the human voices, one could only hear the light clinking of utensils, like water droplets falling on the water's surface, and the soothing violin music.
Crystal chandeliers cast a gentle light.
The light fell on Su Zhiyi, adding a touch of softness to the girl.
The lively, cute girl from earlier was now like a gentle kitten, elegantly using a knife and fork to take small bites of the expensive French cuisine in front of her.
"Host, I noticed you really like eating at this restaurant. Is the French food here really that good?"
System 030 recognized that the restaurant Su Zhiyi had brought Si Yanjing to was one she frequented, and couldn't help but remark.
"If only I had a physical form, I'd love to taste the flavor of food too. Hiss, Host, the beef bourguignon on your table looks delicious..."
Of course, Su Zhiyi couldn't afford such an expensive high-end restaurant.
She always came to this restaurant with Song Lian or Su Qinghuai and let them pay the bill.
This was her first time coming with Si Yanjing.
Su Zhiyi used her fork to spear a piece of tender, juicy beef, put it in her mouth, and chewed. She said to the system, "I wouldn't say I love it? It's mainly that the dishes here are expensive. I just love expensive things. If I had to compare the taste, it's actually not much different from street food."
"That doesn't mean it's not good. I love street food, and I love Michelin-starred restaurants. It's just that money adds a filter to the food at high-end restaurants, making me prefer it."
She just loved enjoying the taste of money spreading between her teeth.
The beef, full of meat juices, released its unique flavor in her mouth, making her savor it carefully for a while. She squinted comfortably, blurring Si Yanjing in front of her.
But... as she squinted, she saw two silhouettes not far behind Si Yanjing.
The silhouettes were blurry, yet...
Somewhat familiar.
She swallowed the beef and slowly opened her eyes.
Her vision became clear. This time, she fully saw who was behind Si Yanjing.
Just a moment ago, Si Yanjing was enjoying their date dinner with Su Zhiyi.
The next second, he saw Su Zhiyi, who had been quietly eating and savoring the food, suddenly change her expression, as if she had seen something terrifying.
A trace of barely perceptible fear flashed through Su Zhiyi's eyes, which she quickly suppressed.
But the fingers holding the knife and fork were trembling slightly. She unconsciously tightened her grip on the handles, revealing her inner panic.
"What's wrong, Zhiyi?"
Si Yanjing lost his appetite too. He put down his knife and fork and asked.
Su Zhiyi didn't calm down at all because of his concerned inquiry. Instead, her fingertips gripping the handles turned slightly white.
Because along with Si Yanjing's concerned inquiry came... Song Lian, who was smiling warmly at her from behind Si Yanjing.
And Su Qinghuai, whose face was colder than an iceberg.
