Chapter 1433: Are We Together? (7)

Xiao Rou was the only hesitation for him, the only uncertainty, which had dragged on for years.

But now that he’s sure of Xiao Rou’s feelings, Zhou Qi naturally won’t be so passive anymore.

He glanced down at Xiao Rou’s small hand wrapped around him, and Zhou Qi’s smile deepened a bit more.

At the milk tea shop behind them, Xu Qingqing finished her work and came out, seeing Liu Chaoyang staring into the distance in a daze. She patted his shoulder: “What are you looking at?”

Liu Chaoyang snapped back to reality, a bright smile blossoming on his doll-like face: “Sister, Sister Rou’s boyfriend is so handsome.”

“Boyfriend?”

“Yeah, he just came to pick up Sister Rou. He’s so handsome, riding a bike like that, simply stunning.”

“Riding a bike?”

Xu Qingqing frowned slightly. She instantly understood who Liu Chaoyang was talking about.

She glanced over where Liu Chaoyang had been looking, saw nothing, and murmured to herself: “I don’t know what Rourou is thinking, clearly there’s a guy with an Audi, and yet she goes for someone riding a bike.”

Liu Chaoyang stood beside Xu Qingqing, heard her muttering, and laughed as he chimed in: “So handsome, even I, as a guy, think he’s really handsome.”

Xu Qingqing gave Liu Chaoyang a look: “Handsome? Can handsome be eaten as food? You all have too little experience, don’t understand the harsh reality of society.”

Xu Qingqing said, then went back to her work, while Liu Chaoyang pursed his lips, silent.

Zhou Qi rode a bicycle over because the place he was taking Xiao Rou to wasn’t far.

The two of them found a restaurant to eat, and then Zhou Qi took Xiao Rou to a movie, not forgetting to buy her a tub of popcorn to hold.

Xiao Rou seemed a bit dazed. After work, dinner and a movie, this really was the most common date routine.

Was Zhou Qi really dating her?

The movie was different from last time; this time Zhou Qi chose a youthful romance film.

Although Xiao Rou frequently spaced out, the film’s plot was simple, and she more or less understood it. The story was roughly about the female protagonist having a twin sister, they looked identical, the male protagonist liked the female protagonist, but her sister also liked the male protagonist. Ultimately, the biased parents let the sister impersonate her and marry the male protagonist, leading to a series of chaotic events. It wasn’t until the ending that the male protagonist realized his wife was never the person he wanted, and so on.

The last scene of the movie was the male protagonist on a hot air balloon, looking down at countless lights and confessing to the female protagonist.

Because Xiao Rou was distracted, she didn’t feel much, while the surrounding girls were already sniffling emotionally.

Amidst these emotional sounds, one voice stood out as particularly abrupt.

“This guy doesn’t even like her.”

Xiao Rou instinctively looked at Zhou Qi; although the lighting in the theater was dim, they were sitting very close, and Xiao Rou could clearly see the sarcasm on Zhou Qi’s face.

“Why?”

Xiao Rou instinctively asked. Zhou Qi turned his head and smiled at her: “If you really like someone, how could you possibly not tell the difference? Even if two people look exactly the same, you’d definitely be able to tell.”

Xiao Rou blinked: “Really?”

“Of course, why don’t you find someone who looks exactly like you for me to distinguish?”

Xiao Rou: “…”

Zhou Qi’s tone carried a hint of humor, somewhat casual, yet there was an unquestionable certainty.

In the dim light, Xiao Rou’s face grew warm again. Why did she feel like she was being flirted with?
