Chapter 114 A Full Day's Date!
A bolt of lightning struck Jiang Wan's brain.
She was fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
She unconsciously squeezed the man's pectoral muscles with her palm.
It feels so good...
Um... what is she doing?!
Jiang Wan's face flushed.
She abruptly pulled her hand back and, without thinking, covered Shang Shixu's eyes with her other hand.
"Don't look!"
The man's lips curled slightly. "Fine, I won't look."
"But I want to add you on WeChat."
"Starting today, we will no longer use Facebook."
Jiang Wan blushed and hummed in agreement.
She let go of her hand, took out her phone, and opened the WeChat QR code.
Add via QR code.
Jiang Wan accepted his friend request.
I discovered that his profile picture is exactly the same as his profile picture on Facebook.
A blurred profile with a baseball cap.
Abstract art style, facial features are entirely based on imagination.
Jiang Wan put away her phone and asked him, "Can we not go public yet?"
Shang Shixu: "How exactly do you keep it confidential?"
"Well..." Jiang Wan paused, "Let's not tell anyone yet, let's get to know each other in private first."
Shang Shixu narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly. "Why?"
Jiang Wan gave an awkward twitch of her lips.
What else could it be?
Of course, I'm afraid the talks won't last long.
If you make your relationship public as soon as you've started dating, what if you break up in two weeks? That would be so awkward.
In this respect, Jiang Wan didn't lack confidence in Shang Shixu, but rather in herself.
From any perspective, there are significant differences between her and Shang Shixu.
She really didn't know if she could adapt to this real relationship, let alone how long it would last.
Jiang Wan tried to express herself tactfully.
"I think we should get to know each other first."
"After all, we've never been completely honest with each other before."
"Every relationship needs a period of adjustment. Go public only after things have gone well; otherwise..."
"And then?" Shang Shixu raised a cold eyebrow, his tone dropping several notches.
Jiang Wan pursed her lips and didn't continue.
The atmosphere was awkward for two seconds before Shang Shixu spoke.
"Okay, I promise I won't make it public yet."
He then changed the subject.
"But this is not public; it's only for your family."
"My family, and our mutual friends, need to know."
Jiang Wan thought about it for a moment and decided it was a good idea.
Just don't let her know yet.
"it is good."
Jiang Wan glanced at her phone; it was almost eleven o'clock.
"It's getting late, I should go back. My parents and brother will be back soon."
"And what about me?" Shang Shixu asked.
Jiang Wan was confused. "You're going home too?"
The man's tone was slightly aggrieved, "But it takes two hours to drive back."
Jiang Wan blinked. "We have a four-star hotel here. Why don't you stay there for the night?"
"Stay with me."
"dream!"
Jiang Wan blurted out, which made Shang Shixu so angry that he pinched her cheek.
"I am now your real boyfriend, no doubt about it."
He spoke with absolute certainty.
Jiang pinched his face with her hand that evening.
"Then you must respect my wishes; that's the most basic thing."
Shang Shixu choked and snorted.
"Little one, you've got a sharp tongue."
"Same to you~"
Jiang Wan's smug little eyes suddenly met the man's gaze, and she was immediately taken aback.
Shang Shixu seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Her eyes were filled with deep desire.
Jiang Wan's face flushed, and she was the first to look away.
"I have to go now."
Jiang Wan was about to get off his lap when he suddenly pulled her into his arms.
The two of them were pressed tightly together from head to toe.
No one spoke.
They hugged for about four or five seconds.
He tightened his arms, pressed his head against Jiang Wan's neck, and a muffled sound rang out.
"What should I do... I really don't want to let you go."
Jiang Wan's heartstrings were gently plucked.
An idea suddenly popped into my head.
"So... shall we... have a full-day date tomorrow?"
Jiang Wan regretted it the moment she said it.
But Shang Shixu had already raised his head and agreed.
"good!"
What's done is done, Jiang Wan bit her lower lip.
After the two made their appointment, Jiang Wan got out of the car.
Shang Shixu was going to escort her into the residential compound.
Jiang Wan nodded, thinking that her family hadn't returned yet.
They soon entered the residential compound, and Shang Shixu was about to escort her into the building.
Once inside the building, they said it wasn't safe for a girl and that they had to escort her to her doorstep.
Jiang Wan: ......
I couldn't refuse him, so I went upstairs with him.
The dim hallway lights illuminated two figures, one large and one small.
Jiang Wan walked in front, and Shang Shixu followed two steps behind her.
Soon, we arrived at our doorstep.
"I've arrived, you can go now."
Shang Shixu stood still and reached out to pull her into his arms.
The hallway lights went out at just the right moment, and darkness instantly filled the space.
Jiang Wan was momentarily dazed.
It was as if they had returned to the past, and could only embrace in the darkness.
A deep male voice sounded from above.
"Get some rest, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
......
Jiang Wan returned home, washed up, and lay down on the bed.
My parents and younger brother have returned.
Voices could be heard coming from the living room.
She stared at the crack in the ceiling, her mind replaying the events of the night like a movie.
Even now, she still feels like she's dreaming.
He thought he was doomed this time, but it turned out to be Shang Shixu's firm confession.
Jiang Wan felt a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.
Although it's uncertain how long Shang Shixu's feelings for him will last, and no one knows how their relationship will develop in the future.
But his answer tonight gave her the courage to take the first step.
No one can predict what will happen in the future, so let's just focus on the present for now.
Jiang Wan opened her phone, ready to search on Xiaohongshu for places to go on dates.
I flipped through it and looked at it, but it wasn't very interesting.
Bored, she turned off the search and prepared to go to sleep.
A set of watercolor paintings suddenly popped up on the recommendation page.
The style is very dreamlike.
Jiang Wan's eyes lit up.
She clicked "favorite," then looked at the account name—
I am Teacher Bai Mu's dog.
What a direct expression of his feelings!
Jiang Wan clicked in and found that this should be a fan of the painter "Bai Mu".
The account shares Bai Mu's paintings.
Jiang Wan flipped through the paintings and found that this painter had a very distinctive style, and every single one of his works was a masterpiece.
He's probably not a minor artist.
Jiang Wan was unfamiliar with the art world, so she searched for it online out of curiosity.
If you don't search, you don't know.
It is unclear whether "Bai Mu" is a stage name or his real name; all that is known is that he is Chinese.
She held her first solo art exhibition in France at the age of 16.
At the age of 18, a painting titled "Spring Rain" sold for $800 million at auction.
From then on, he became the most sought-after young painter by auction houses.
Every year, outstanding works are auctioned off at high prices.
At the age of 25, he has already won several international awards.
However, he himself is very low-key and never comes forward to accept awards.
......
Jiang Wan glanced at the painting briefly and gained a general understanding of the artist.
This is a mysterious genius.
Geniuses are indeed extraordinary.
He has gained both fame and fortune, but he is unwilling to show his face in public.
It is truly rare to have such composure at such a young age.
With a heart full of admiration, Jiang Wan collected several more of her favorite paintings.
*
The next day, at 7:30 in the morning.
Jiang Wan was jolted awake by a message notification.
She picked up her phone in a daze and opened WeChat.
Business Time Sequence: [Are you awake?]
Jiang Wan slowly yawned and replied—
[Just woke up]
Shang Shixu: [I'll be at the entrance of the community soon, get ready.]
Jiang Wan's sleepiness had mostly dissipated.
I remembered.
She's going on a full-day date with Shang Shixu today!
