Chapter 153 - 153: Handsome Guy, Your Girlfriend Won’t Be Angry...If You Do This, Will She?
It was 2:50 in the afternoon when Su Xuan arrived at the bus station. As he pulled up to the designated spot, he noticed a young woman standing at the West Gate with a bag in hand.
Su Xuan slowly rolled down the car window, ready to start a conversation. However, the young woman took a step towards him and leaned down to talk, looking at him still seated in the driver’s seat.
“Hey there, handsome. Are you alone?”
“What’s the big deal if I’m alone? How about this…”
“I’ll reluctantly make an exception today; you’re mine!”
Su Xuan was momentarily taken aback. The words he had planned to say disappeared, and he stared at the woman in front of him in surprise.
Seeing his surprised expression, Zhao Ruoxi finally felt satisfied. After Su Xuan sent that message earlier, she had hesitated to respond for a long time. It was only when he took the initiative to ask her when she would get off work that they resumed their conversation.
However, even so, she still felt a bit shy about it. As she reread their chat history in the afternoon, she wondered if Su Xuan was teasing her.
Thinking of Su Xuan’s demeanor, she felt that it was unlikely, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that she had somehow lost. And now…
When she saw Su Xuan approaching slowly, an ingenious idea popped into her head. That’s why she had spoken those words.
Now, looking at Su Xuan’s expression, Zhao Ruoxi felt like the frustration that had built up all afternoon was finally fading away.
Seeing a hint of amusement in Zhao Ruoxi’s eyes, Su Xuan also caught on. He went along with her words, smiling.
“Well, that’s too bad. I’m here to pick up my girlfriend…”
Hearing this, Zhao Ruoxi blinked in surprise.
“Girlfriend?”
They had only a matchmake session and made plans for dinner. They were still in the friend zone, never having explicitly mentioned being together.
So, hearing Su Xuan refer to her as his girlfriend caught Zhao Ruoxi completely off guard.
Before she could even blush, Su Xuan continued speaking.
He sighed and said to Zhao Ruoxi, “Forget it, you look so good, hop in!”
Zhao Ruoxi instantly understood what Su Xuan meant. She hadn’t expected that her playful banter would lead to this. Su Xuan had immediately played along with her teasing.
Without hesitation, Zhao Ruoxi stepped into the car, and Su Xuan started the engine, heading towards the shopping mall they had agreed to meet at.
Seeing this, Zhao Ruoxi, thinking about Su Xuan’s earlier comment about having a girlfriend, asked hesitantly, “Hey, handsome, are you leaving just like that? Your girlfriend won’t be mad?”
While driving, Su Xuan replied playfully, “Well, you’ll have to ask the girlfriend herself.”
Zhao Ruoxi:…
“You’re such a rogue!”
“Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore…”
As she spoke, she slyly adjusted the car’s makeup mirror, using it as an excuse to touch her cheeks. Her face was now flushed, and the redness was even visible in her eyes.
If she had known that Su Xuan was so shameless, she wouldn’t have provoked him!
“It’s still early; how about we go watch a movie?” Su Xuan suggested.
They had only planned to have dinner, and it was still only a little after three o’clock. It was a bit early for dinner, but if they watched a movie first, the timing would be just right.
Su Xuan switched topics so swiftly that Zhao Ruoxi’s initial shyness and irritation disappeared instantly.
She followed his lead and thought for a moment, then said, “Sure! There’s a movie I’ve been wanting to see. Would you mind watching it with me?”
Su Xuan nodded without hesitation.
He didn’t think it was too much to see Zhao Ruoxi, who had just finished speaking and was admiring herself in the mirror.
He had already crossed over to this world, and he probably wouldn’t be able to go back. Besides, the original owner of this body happened to be single…
Was it unreasonable for him to want to find a partner here?
So, by the time Zhao Ruoxi realized that she had been tricked by Su Xuan again…
They were already at the entrance of the cinema.
“I’ll go buy the tickets.”
“Do you prefer popcorn or french fries?”
“Wait a moment, I’ll buy them on the way.”
Su Xuan spoke gently, as if he hadn’t noticed the sudden change in the woman’s attitude.
The words that Zhao Ruoxi had originally intended to say got stuck in her throat.
She unconsciously followed Su Xuan’s lead.
“Fries, please.”
“Popcorn is dry and sweet, while fries taste better.”
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan nodded as if it were the most natural thing.
Then he pointed to a seat not far away. “It seems like our chosen seats are still a bit far away. Why don’t you go sit there for a while? I’ll be there soon.”
His attitude seemed so ordinary that it made Zhao Ruoxi follow his instructions in a daze.
After she sat down and looked at Su Xuan going to buy tickets, she couldn’t help but shake her head in amusement.
“This guy!”
“…Seems pretty good, though!”
Zhao Ruoxi muttered to herself.
To be honest, at first, Zhao Ruoxi was a bit dissatisfied with the idea of being set up on a blind date with a police officer. While police officers had good benefits, their salaries weren’t high, though various bonuses added up. But money wasn’t the main concern.
The main issue was that police officers had very little free time. Considering her own busy job, Zhao Ruoxi genuinely wanted to find someone with an easier job, even if it meant a lower salary, so that they could spend more time together and take care of their family.
But she couldn’t really refuse the setup, so she went along with it. However, she never expected that Su Xuan would turn out to be surprisingly good.
Although he was busy, they could talk about anything, and their values aligned.
More importantly…
Su Xuan made her heart race!
In fact, when he asked her in the car if she wanted to be his girlfriend, she almost said yes…
“Hiss!”
Thinking about it now, Zhao Ruoxi let out an exclamation.
“This is such a terrifying story!”
“No, no…”
“Zhao Ruoxi, hold yourself together!”
“How long have you known each other? It’s been less than a month, and you’re already thinking about becoming his girlfriend… Are you out of your mind?”
“Zhao Ruoxi, stay strong!”
“Stay strong for what?”
Just at that moment, Su Xuan approached with a bucket of fries and two cups of milk tea.
He happened to overhear her trailing thoughts.
He immediately asked in confusion, “What are you trying to stay strong for?”
Zhao Ruoxi was taken aback. She hadn’t realized that Su Xuan had come over without her noticing.
She was startled!
Su Xuan probably didn’t hear what she had just said, right?
“When did you arrive? How did you get here so quickly?”
“I just got here. Fortunately, there weren’t many people buying tickets, so I got them right away.”
“I also bought two cups of milk tea.”
“Otherwise, if we get thirsty later, it won’t be good.”
“What if we miss a crucial part of the plot, and you end up blaming me?”
Su Xuan chuckled and continued, “When you mentioned ‘stay strong’ earlier, did you mean you’re not feeling well?”
As soon as he asked that, Zhao Ruoxi let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Su Xuan hadn’t heard what she had said earlier.
She quickly grabbed one of the cups of milk tea and retorted, “Don’t make things up. I’m not that fierce!”
She definitely wouldn’t hit anyone!
