Su Mo continued to seek advice: "So what exactly should I wear today?"
"Donât worry, Iâve had someone find the perfect outfit for you." Chu Nanyi snapped his fingers.
Several professional stylists pushed a clothes rack from around the corner, consistently picking and placing clothes in front of Su Mo for Chu Nanyi to review.
After observing for a moment, Chu Nanyi picked one set and handed it to Su Mo, stating with an unmistakable tone, "This is the one. Go and change into it, then come back and show me."
Su Mo changed into the outfit and returned.
As soon as he appeared, Dongdong and KK widened their eyes and exclaimed, "Wow!"
Chu Nanyi also flicked his bangs confidently and said, "When it comes to clothes, I never miss."
Su Mo was wearing a white shirt with an academic uniform style on the top, paired with gray-brown dress pants and casual leather shoes on the bottom.
The shirtâs hem wasnât tucked into the pants like formal wear but was left casually outside. The top button was undone, yet a green striped tie was neatly knotted, which suppressed the loose feeling, making it look very elegant and natural.
In contrast to Su Moâs usually plain attire, this outfit suddenly made him look incredibly youthful.
He scratched the back of his head awkwardly and asked, "Does it make me look too much like a student?"
Chu Nanyi laughed, "Youâre not that old to begin with; this is exactly the look weâre going for. Like the girl next doorâs big brother, or should I say, senior. 18-year-old girls love this older guy look."
Su Mo sincerely gave a thumbs-up: "When it comes to dating, youâve got to consult Young Master Chu."
Dongdong also praised, "Xiaochu might be a bit silly, but he has a great sense of taste."
Chu Nanyi: "Sister Dong, Iâm right here. Isnât it bad to insult me to my face?"
Dongdong: "What, are you unhappy about it?"
Chu Nanyi: "No, I like being insulted by you. Bring it on harder."
Su Mo glanced at his phone and said, "Itâs getting late, I should head out. I canât be late."
"Hold on." Chu Nanyi stopped Su Mo, "How are you planning to pick her up?"
Su Mo: "Driving the black Ark."
Chu Nanyi quickly shook his head: "No, no, the black Ark is a business model, too bulky looking, and itâs equipped with heavy weaponry. You canât drive such a vehicle to pick up a girl for a date."
He slapped the car keys from his pocket into Su Moâs hand: "My sports car is parked downstairs, itâs a two-seater, perfect for a date. Take it."
Su Mo was almost moved to tears: "Young Master Chu, my hero!"
Chu Nanyi waved his hand: "Go on, letâs create a group chat. If anything comes up, just shout out in there and Iâll help you with advice."
After Su Mo left, Chu Nanyi rubbed his hands and grinned at Dongdong: "Sister Dong, the captainâs off on a date. How about we go on one too after breakfast?"
Dongdong: "No, Iâm going to play games with KK."
Chu Nanyi pouted: "Alright then..."
...
Todayâs weather was great, morning light bathed the streets, and dew on plants shimmered in the sunlight, slowly sliding down like sparkling drops of light.
Su Mo drove the sports car into the Anmi New District, following the location pin sent by Qi Ling, arriving at her doorstep.
Qi Ling was already there waiting, today she wore a white Lolita dress, with white lace stockings wrapped around her slender legs, extending into delicate high heels.
The sunlight fell on her silver hair, creating a dazzling glow. Her gemstone-like amber eyes were clear and bright, making her look like a fairy-tale princess.
Su Mo was captivated by her stunning appearance, taking a moment to compose himself.
He got out of the car and greeted Qi Ling: "Good morning, Xiaoqi, sorry to keep you waiting."
Qi Ling smiled sweetly: "No worries, I just came out early. You look great today, just like the boy next door. I really like it~"
Su Mo internally shouted again, "Young Master Chu, my hero!"
Praised by a beautiful girl, Su Moâs confidence swelled as he opened the car door for Qi Ling: "Come on, get in the car."
Qi Ling blinked: "Mo Mo, donât you have something to give me?"
"Huh?" Su Mo was puzzled, "Give you what?"
Qi Ling gently bit her lip, looking at him eagerly: "Flowers, the flowers for our date."
Su Mo felt his mind buzz, breaking into a sweat.
He stammered, "Hang on... give me a second..."
He hid behind the car, quickly pulled out his phone, and opened the chat group named [The Captainâs Date Melon-Eating Squad], starting to type.
Su Mo: [Young Master Chu! Help!]
Chu Nanyi: [Whatâs up?]
Su Mo: [Are you supposed to bring flowers to a date?]
Chu Nanyi: [Yes, of course]
Su Mo: [Why didnât you tell me!]
Chu Nanyi: [I thought you knew this basic stuff...]
Su Mo: [.jpg]
KK: [Dude, now I understand why youâve been single this whole time.]
Dongdong: [This idiot, so stupid itâs as if heâs doing it on purpose.]
Su Mo panicked, sneaking a glance at Qi Ling.
Facing her expectant gaze, he didnât know how to bluff anymore.
Eventually, he could only blush and tell the truth: "Sorry... I... I forgot to bring flowers..."
Su Mo thought Qi Ling would throw a slight tantrum.
But unexpectedly...
"Itâs okay." Qi Ling extended her hand hidden behind her back and said sweetly, "I brought them~"
You could see Qi Ling holding a stunning bouquet of red roses, beautifully wrapped in oil paper. The morning light hit the delicate petals, presenting a breathtaking beauty.
The bouquet also contained a small card with elegantly beautiful writing Qi Ling had penned herself:
[Hello, My Love]
Su Mo dumbly accepted the rose bouquet, blushing and constantly scratching the back of his head.
Qi Ling playfully asked, "First time being given flowers by a girl?"
Su Mo sheepishly smiled: "Yeah..."
Qi Ling stuck out her tongue with a mischievous smile: "Itâs my first time giving flowers to a boy too, as long as you like it~"
"I like it, I like it!" Su Mo gestured for her to get in, "Hop in the car!"
Qi Ling got into the car then suddenly asked, "This isnât your car, is it?"
Su Mo, seated in the driverâs seat, was stunned: "How do you know?"
Qi Ling tapped her nose with a smile: "I smelled âPrincess Qinpaiâ in the car, itâs a womenâs perfume mostly used by girls in clubbing scenes, and you donât seem like the type to frequent such places."
"Wow, your observational skills are better than mine, I didnât even notice that." Su Mo, being honest, admitted outright, "Chu Nanyi said my car wasnât suitable for a date, so he lent me his."
Qi Ling laughed behind her hand: "The person matters, not the car. As long as itâs you showing up, even if you were on a bicycle, Iâd be happy~"
Su Mo internally shouted for help: Sheâs too understanding, whoâs the boss here, anyway...
Qi Ling buckled her seatbelt, looking at Su Mo with anticipation, "Where are we going to play today?"
Su Mo opened the carâs navigation and pointed at a spot on the map: "What do you think about this place? Adventure Harbor Amusement Park, the biggest theme park in New Moon City."
"Yes, yes, yes! I wanted to go there!" Qi Ling cheered, playfully raising her little fist, "Mo-Qi Express, full steam ahead!"
...
Today was a weekday, but Adventure Harbor, as the largest and most famous amusement park in New Moon City, still welcomed thousands of visitors.
Su Mo spent over five thousand to buy two VIP Supreme tickets, providing skip-the-line access to the park and all attractions, just to give Qi Ling the best experience.
Crossing through the entrance of Adventure Harbor, it felt like stepping into a fairytale world.
The towering Ferris wheel turned slowly, parade floats progressed along the main street with cheerful music playing, adorned with various lavish decorations.
Performers dressed in costume suits danced around as if stepping out from storybooks, affectionately interacting with visitors and continuously drawing cheers from children.
"Wow, itâs bustling!" Qi Ling gazed at the amusement park with stars in her eyes and lovingly linked arms with Su Mo, "We should take a photo to commemorate Xiaoqi and Mo Moâs first date~"
