Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Lin Mo decided to go all out. He couldn't learn the tricks, but he could be sincere!

"I don't want to." After saying that, he simply continued:

"The thought that person might be someone else makes me uncomfortable."

"But at that time I felt like I didn't have the right to stop you."

Fendona looked at him, and her hands slowly stopped moving.

"When I found out later that the Queen was talking about me, I was actually... quite happy."

Just then, a bicycle bell rang out from the street. Lin Mo stepped slightly in front of her to shield her from the people pushing bicycles behind her.

When she turned back, Fendona's ear tips were already red.

"Then why were you avoiding me just now?"

Lin Mo looked helpless:

"I don't know what to say, I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing again."

"So you're just pretending you didn't see it?"

"Hmm, thinking about it now, it was even more wrong."

Fendona stared at him for a while, then finally couldn't help but mutter under her breath:

"You weren't this stupid when you were negotiating with us."

Lin Mo smiled wryly:

"Isn't this because I lack experience?"

"Does anyone have experience with this?"

After she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that there was something wrong with what she said, and immediately lowered her head and pretended to look at the book in her hand.

Lin Mo didn't respond either. The two of them stood at the entrance of the flower shop, neither of them saying a word.

The silence made Lin Mo feel uneasy.

He's so talkative! You're usually so eloquent, so hurry up and say it!

After a moment, Lin Mo finally noticed the cloth bag in her hand and tried to ask:

"What books did you buy?"

Fendona opened the bag a little and showed him the top book.

It is a travelogue of the Great Xia Dynasty with many photos.

"I saw some places online before, and I thought they were pretty, so I wanted to buy a book to read." She turned to one of the pages.

"Is there really that much snow in this place?"

The photo shows a mountain with its peak covered in snow, while its slopes are covered with lush green forests.

Lin Mo glanced at it:

"It used to exist. But the climate has changed so drastically that some of those views are no longer visible."

Fendona's finger stopped at the edge of the photo, and she softly said "Oh," without asking any further questions.

Seeing that the conversation had cooled down again, Lin Mo said:

"However, quite a few places like this are still preserved. I'll take you to see them when things stabilize a bit."

Fendona looked up at him:

Do you have time?

"It can be arranged."

"Isn't it about taking a group of people to inspect some project?"

Lin Mo was taken aback by her question, then smiled:

"No, it's just the two of us going out."

Fendona quietly closed the book and carefully put it back in her bag:

"I'll remember that."

"Okay, I'll remember that."

........

Lin Mo extended his hand:

"Shall I get it for you?"

She glanced at his hand and handed him the cloth bag.

The bag wasn't heavy, but after Lin Mo took it, he inexplicably felt that the relationship between the two of them was a little different than before.

At least she no longer stood even half a step away from him.

Reaching the intersection, Lin Mo remembered the second rule of the strategy and said:

"It's almost time. Are you busy? Do you need to go back to the clan to report on today's events?"

Fendona shook her head.

"I've already sent my people back to report to the Queen. There's no rush."

"Well... how about we grab a bite to eat together? By the way, I heard the movie 'My Robot Girlfriend' is really good, with high ratings from netizens. If we're okay after dinner... how about we go see a movie together?"

Fendona slowed her pace: "Now?"

"Yes, now."

"We discussed so many important things today, aren't you going back to get busy?"

"Brother Zhao and the others will contact me if they need me."

Fendona looked at him for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"Did they send you here too?"

Lin Mo immediately shook his head:

"They told me not to avoid you, and that I wanted to ask you out for dinner and a movie."

This time, Fendona couldn't hide her smile; her eyes curved like crescent moons.

"Then I'll choose the movie myself!"

"OK."

"I get to choose what we eat."

"I'll do whatever you say."

She took two steps forward, then suddenly turned around, her skirt swaying gently with the movement.

"What are you standing there for?"

Lin Mo quickly followed.

……

Fendona chose a restaurant located on the street.

The two had eaten together before, and sometimes when they were busy, they would grab a bite to eat in the office.

But today, when Lin Mo sat down, he felt that he even had to think twice before handing over the menu.

Fendona seemed more at ease than him. She looked at the menu for a while, then asked him:

"Didn't you say this sweet and sour fish was good last time?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll take this. And this leafy green vegetable, you don't like it too soft, right?"

Lin Mo looked at her, remaining silent for a moment.

Fendona looked up: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to remember."

She lowered her head and turned to a page of the menu:

"Is it strange that you remember so many meals we've eaten together?"

"Not surprising."

Lin Mo smiled, poured her a glass of warm water, and then added to the waiter:

"Her drink should not have ice."

Fendona paused for a moment as she flipped through the menu, and a subtle smile crept onto her lips.

While waiting for their food, the two started talking about the shops they had seen on the street, and their conversation gradually became more animated.

Fendona said that she had bought a small windmill from that shop before, but when she took it home, she found that it contained a miniature motor and was not actually moved by the wind.

"The shop owner also told me that it can still spin even when there is no wind, which is an improvement."

Lin Mo almost burst out laughing: "That's definitely an improvement."

"But I just want to see it spinning in the wind."

"Next time, have him make you one that can be switched."

The two of them chatted about pointless nonsense.

When the dishes arrived, Lin Mo realized that he hadn't thought about the recipe on his phone for quite a while.

There's always so much to talk about when you're with her.

It's just that we didn't make it clear before, but now we're suddenly concerned about whether we're speaking well or not, which has made our most familiar interactions tense.

After dinner, the two went to the movie theater in the mall.

Lin Mo bought the tickets, along with drinks and popcorn, and when he entered and sat down, he found that there were already people there.

Several young couples sat close together nearby, some chatting and laughing in hushed tones, others leaning naturally on the shoulders of the people next to them.

Lin Mo kept his eyes fixed on the screen and placed the popcorn between the two of them.

Before the opening credits had even finished, Fendona turned her head and whispered to him:

"Lin Mo".

"Um?"

"Aren't you tired of sitting so upright?"

Lin Mo subconsciously relaxed his back: "Not tired."

Fendona glanced at his posture, suppressed a laugh and didn't expose him, instead pushing the popcorn towards him.

In the film, the male protagonist travels across most of the city to deliver a gift to the girl he likes, but after meeting her, he insists on explaining that he was just passing by.

The girl's incredulous question came from the screen, followed by laughter from the surrounding crowd.

Fendona laughed too, but then glanced at Lin Mo sideways and teased:

"Doesn't this scene resemble someone from today?"

Lin Mo's expression froze.

They didn't really pay attention to what happened in the next few minutes...
