Forty, Not Understanding Romance (2)

  "At least for this one second now, I don't want to know. Whether I'll want to know in the next second is another matter," said Ouyang Xiaoxiao with a smile.

  I made an unsatisfied expression at Ouyang Xiaoxiao this morning.

  Ouyang Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and stepped into the elevator.

  I also followed and stood on the elevator.

  The two of us stood side by side in the elevator again, but this time we didn't hold hands.

  In front of us stood a couple, holding hands and looking very intimate.

  I glanced at Ouyang Xiaoxiao beside me.

  She looks like she's thinking about something.

  "Don't you feel like something is missing?" I smiled and asked.

  "What's missing?" Ou Yang Xiao Xiao was taken aback.

  "Stick out your left hand and I'll tell you," I said with a smile.

  "What's this?" Ou Yang Xiao Xiao stretched out her left hand in confusion.

  I suddenly grasped Ouyang Xiaoxiao's hand and whispered in her ear, "That kind of thing is called charm."

  Ouyang Xiao Xiao just realized she had been deceived and wanted to withdraw her hand back.

  But her hand had already been tightly grasped by me.

  "Don't pretend you don't understand," I said with a sly smile.

  Ouyang Xiao Xiao hummed at me in the morning.

  "Besides, it was you who took my hand just now, I'm just returning the courtesy," I said with a smile.

  "Alright, alright, you take good care of the elevator, don't accidentally fall again," Ouyang Xiaoxiao spat at me.

  After leaving the mall, I and Ouyang Xiao went to buy two bowls of cold congee. Then, we sat down on a long bench at the entrance of the mall.

  "This congee is really delicious," I said while eating, "and the bowl is so big too."

  "Of course it is! I recommended it to you, how can it be bad?" Ouyang Xiaoxiao laughed.

  "This congee is delicious, and there's another important reason," I said.

  "What's wrong?" Ouyang Xixi stopped and looked at me with her hands paused.

  "It's free," I said with a smile, looking at her. "Free things that also taste good, of course, are always welcome."

  "Sharp tongue and thin lips," Ouyang Xiaoxiao hummed.

  I smiled and said, "Look, the moon is out now, it should be around eight o'clock."

  "Want to go to the disco now?" asked Ouyang Xiaoxiao.

  "Wait a bit, yeah, look at this beautiful moonlight, it's worth stopping and admiring for a while," I said, unwilling to go to the disco hall, so I delayed.

  "Really? You still want to admire the moon?" asked Ouyang Xiaoxiao.

  "You're at it again, not even two minutes have passed and you've fallen back into your old ways, truly hopeless," I said in dissatisfaction.

  "What's wrong with you again," Ouyang Xiao Xiao was taken aback.

  "You don't understand romance," I said with a smile.

  "Pfft!" In an instant, Ouyang Xiaoxiao spat out the cold congee from her mouth onto me.

  "Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you?" I quickly stood up and shook off the ice chips on my clothes.

  "It was your serious face just now that made me laugh," said Ouyang Xiao Xiao, helping me brush off the ice crystals from my body while chuckling.

  I stared at Ouyang Xiao Xiao.

  "Uh, the central square of Xin Kou City is not far from here. If you want to admire the moon, we can go there now and then head to the disco later," said Ouyang Xiao Xiao.

  "Alright, let's go to the square then," I said as I stood up, and Ouyang Xiaoxiao also got up.
