In the afternoon, Snakel held Gu Mengmeng as he asked, “Let’s go on a date, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled as she looked at Snakel. “You can just go out as and when you want?”
Snakel answered back with a, “Why not?”
Gu Mengmeng said, “Mmm, the novels always write that when a CEO gets too famous, he would be mobbed by fans whenever he goes out.”
Snakel pinched Gu Mengmeng’s little nose. “Very few people know I am the CEO of MonSir company. And of those who know, no one else apart from you would ever dare to expose my identity. As for being famous… probably only during last year’s swimming competition. Ha, do you think people would mob a person who was last year’s swimming champion?”
Gu Mengmeng thought about it. That’s right, so what if Snakel was handsome? When she realized they were schoolmates, she had only sighed “wah we have someone famous at school”. She never had thought of pursuing him or anything like that.
But remembering the first practice after Snakel made the switch to the basketball team, Gu Mengmeng once again felt that the world had truly gone to the dogs. Were they really just infatuated by the image of him in swimming trunks?
He didn’t know what Gu Mengmeng was thinking but seeing that she was keeping silent, he took it as assent. Hence, he kissed her little hand and asked, “Where do you want to go?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. She wanted to say never mind, let’s not go out.
But Snakel took it to mean that Gu Mengmeng just didn’t have anywhere special in mind. “Alright, I will make the arrangements.”
Gu Mengmeng, “…”
Never mind, he was the great CEO and his word was the rule.
Snakel chose a matching lover’s set of sporting attire for him and Gu Mengmeng. After changing into their respective outfits, Snakel brought Gu Mengmeng to an amusement park.
Yes, there was nothing to be worried about. Snakel had booked the entire park.
Gu Mengmeng stood at the entrance of the amusement park and watched as all the staff stood in a row and shouted their welcome. She once again felt very flustered…
“Well… should we call a few friends to come play with us?” Gu Mengmeng probed.
Snakel frowned. He had booked the entire arena as he wanted to be alone with Gu Mengmeng.
But faced with her expectant and uneasy expression, Snakel sighed and compromised.
He took out a mobile phone and called Zhan Jin Cheng. “The whole basketball team. Amusement park. 20 minutes.”
With that, he hung up.
Gu Mengmeng stared at Snakel, completely tongue-tied. “Can he understand what you just said?”
Snakel said, “Time, people, location were all clear. Even if he is a stupid guy who never got a double-digit score for his Chinese exams, he should still be capable of understanding such basic information.”
Gu Mengmeng was speechless. If she was Zhan Jin Cheng, she would definitely not understand what Snakel was talking about. But he had already accelerated his work pace this morning just so he could go out with her, and she didn’t want to spoil the mood of their first date. So she just smiled. “Can I also call a few friends over?”
Snakel frowned. “You want to invite those former roommates of yours?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded.
Snakel didn’t say anything but just placed one hand on Gu Mengmeng’s shoulder and drew her into his arms. He kissed her on the top of her head as a form of silent assent.
Only then did Gu Mengmeng take out her mobile phone and called Bai Lan. “Bai Lan, are you free? Do you want to come to the amusement park now to play? Mmm… I…I will introduce my boyfriend to you all.”
Snakel had very good hearing, plus Bai Lan was overly excited such that he could clearly hear her shriek over the phone, “Holy shit! Gu Mengmeng you fell in love with someone behind my back?! You just wait for me right there. I am going to bring my 40-meter long knife over right now!”
