As he drew his head back, Qiao Lian looked at him with a scarlet face.
Shen Liangchuan reached out and patted her head affectionately.
They were standing at the top floor of the restaurant, taking in the beautiful and glittering night scene of Beijing. By the time they left, it was past 8 pm.
Shen Liangchuan was about to go and get the car when Qiao Lian grabbed his hand and said, “Let’s walk along this street for a little while longer.”
He nodded, to her delight.
After he put on his mask and baseball cap, they took a stroll.
This was a flourishing district of Beijing and the business centre was just around the corner.
Qiao Lian looked left and right, and she was just about to step on the crossing when he grasped her hand with a quick movement.
Her hands had turned cold from the cool weather after they had left the heated restaurant. His large hand, however, was dry and warm, triggering a wave of heat that seemed to spread to the rest of her body through her small palm. She felt her body tense up from this contact as she turned back to look at him.
He acted as though nothing had happened and said calmly with his eyes still looking ahead, “Don’t wander off.”
Qiao Lian nodded and grinned.
The both of them strolled down the street hand-in-hand, neither of them letting go of the other person’s hand even for a moment. And for that time, they were just like any other ordinary couple on the street.
They did not attract any unwanted attention as it was not unusual to be wearing a mask and cap in this sort of cold weather.
No one could have imagined that their heart-throb and national male idol Shen Liangchuan would walk down the street this way, like anyone else
The streets of the business district were bustling with people and there were images of Shen Liangchuan everywhere. Every now and then they would walk past a giant monitor screen that would be flashing an advertisement with Shen Liangchuan in it.
Looking all around her, Qiao Lian sighed and leaned over to whisper in his ear, “Even if we broke up in the future, I think I would do okay.”
Shen Liangchuan raised an eyebrow.
Pointing at all the billboards, she said, “You’re everywhere! And I would even know what you’re up to everyday.”
Shen Liangchuan replied coldly, “You’re thinking of breaking up with me?”
Qiao Lian shrugged and immediately said, “I’m just saying.”
“You’re not allowed to say that.”
She grinned. “Fine, I won’t say it anymore.”
What an overbearing guy.
As they continued strolling around, they arrived at a shop that sold ornaments. Qiao Lian suddenly stopped and glanced at the shop. Then, pulling Shen Liangchuan behind her, she entered the shop.
The shop was rather quiet, as it was dinnertime.
The two workers were watching a movie on the computer as the couple stepped in. One of them looked clearly love-struck and was exclaiming, “Arghhh… he’s so devastatingly handsome!!”
“Oooh… Best Actor Shen is so dashing, I wish I could turn into the female lead.”
Qiao Lian halted and turned to give Shen Liangchuan a look.
He was expressionless, as though he had not heard the remarks.
She pursed her lips tightly and sniggered.
Then pulled Shen Liangchuan along further into the shop.
He followed her without a word.
Seeing that she had taken interest in some items and was busy picking and choosing some, he stood next to her surveying the shop.
After a short while, he saw her look up holding a sword-shaped ornament. She held it up to show Shen Liangchuan. “Do you think it’s pretty?”
This section of the shop was full of mini replicas of the weapons used by the Lot champions.
There were fans, swords and daggers… and the one Qiao Lian was holding was the weapon of the tank champion that Shen Liangchuan had selected in the game that they had played earlier on.
Shen Liangchuan glanced at her and remarked, “This is not suitable for a girl.”
