I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

"Hello, Lin, I've made a reservation."

"Okay." The waiter glanced at Lin Zhou and Gu Yuning, another well-dressed young couple.

After sitting down, Lin Zhou picked up the menu that the waiter had brought over, glanced at it, and then asked Gu Yuning beside him, "Yuning, what do you want to eat?"

The waiter then picked up the menu and spread it out in front of Gu Yuning. Gu Yuning looked at it and said, "As long as it's something you like to eat, my tastes are similar to yours."

"Well... this Black Pearl restaurant shouldn't be too bad... let's order a set meal," Lin Zhou asked.

"Is the foie gras red wine foie gras?"

"We offer several ways to prepare foie gras, and we recommend the macadamia nut and hawthorn foie gras roll recipe."

"Is Philip the M9?"

"Yes, sir. Since there are two of you, ordering a set meal would be more suitable."

Lin Zhou glanced at the menu and casually pointed to a set meal. "Then let's have this 5888 Chef's Special Set Meal, plus two drinks... Birch sap? Is there anything special about it?"

"This is a special blend made with sap from 60-year-old birch trees in the Lesser Khingan Mountains and apple juice, which gives it a refreshing taste."

"Then let's have two drinks."

"Okay, are there any dietary restrictions?"

"no."

"Okay." The waiter took the menu and left.

Lin Zhou remained calm, as the price was reasonable, since his mother had given him 50,000 yuan for the date before he left, and he could get double reimbursement for spending on Gu Yuning.

The date was amazing.

The appetizer was molecular gastronomy, and Lin Zhou didn't really like it after eating it. "Hmm..."

"What's wrong?"

"Yu Ning's cooking is better; this appetizer is too sour."

"Hehe." Gu Yuning couldn't help but say after being praised by Lin Zhou, "It's not that exaggerated..."

"It's hard to say."

Gu Yuning used a knife and fork to separate the head of the New Zealand langoustine in front of her, then used the fork to bring the meat to Lin Zhou's mouth, "Here—"

Lin Zhou: "..."

He glanced instinctively at the waiter next to him who was providing explanations and services. The waiter was smiling and pretending not to have seen anything.

Gu Yuning really does things like this without caring about others, especially since the other person's eyes are fixed on her. "Be good, eat some protein so your body can recover better, listen to me."

what! ! ! ! !

Lin Zhou felt a little shy for some reason, but he still accepted Gu Yuning's offer to feed him and ate the shrimp. "Delicious."

The next second, Gu Yuning scooped up another piece of sea urchin and said, "Here."

"I can come by myself," Lin Zhou said, already a little embarrassed.

It seems only Gu Yuning can pamper herself like a baby; even her own mother can't do that.

But speaking of which—

I keep feeling like there's a gaze on me?

Lin Zhou looked around, but saw nothing.

However, this couldn't go on. When the steak was served, Lin Zhou cut the beef into small cubes and, imitating Gu Yuning, put the meat in front of her mouth, saying, "Here, you haven't been eating much."

Gu Yuning was stunned for a moment, but she lowered her head slightly, brushing her loose hair behind her ear with one hand. While eating in small bites, she did not forget to raise her watery eyes to look at Lin Zhou's expression.

The moment their eyes met, Lin Zhou felt his heart skip a beat.

Oh no, it's kind of cute.

Lin Zhou's face turned red from the meal.

When Lin Zhou walked out of the restaurant after lunch, he finally felt his shoulders relax a bit. Gu Yuning, who was next to him, didn't have any expression, but her ears were red.

"The movie is about to start, let's walk over there," Lin Zhou said.

"Mm." Gu Yuning nodded.

Shortly after they left the restaurant, two more figures followed them out, one after the other.

……

The movie was randomly chosen by Lin Zhou; it was just a regular comedy. Lin Zhou's intention was to let Gu Yuning relax a bit and not be so stressed about her work in the student council.

Lin Zhou casually bought two drinks and sat down with Gu Yuning in the audience to wait for the movie to start.

"It's been a long time since I've watched a movie," Gu Yuning said.

"I haven't watched it in a long time either, several months, I think," Lin Zhou said. "How long has it been since you last watched it?"

"A few years... I guess?"

"Isn't it too long?"

"..." Gu Yuning simply said, "I rarely go out with others, let alone go to the movies."

"Don't tire yourself out so much, we're all worried about you," Lin Zhou said.

"Wasn't it at Chen Yu's request?" Gu Yuning said.

"That's only one aspect," Lin Zhou said. "A spring that's stretched too tight will break. You don't want to develop a host of health problems at such a young age, do you?"

"That's an exaggeration."

The movie started soon, a classic comedy. Most movies these days are getting worse and worse, and many directors are complaining about the economic downturn. But actually, people go to the movies to have fun. Constantly making movies that try to educate the audience only makes them deserve their dismal box office performance.

After watching for a while, laughter occasionally came from the audience, and Lin Zhou also started watching attentively.

But Gu Yuning's attention wasn't on the movie; her eyes were lowered—

The cinema was dimly lit and gentle. Lin Zhou's hand was casually resting on his arm, most of his forearm hidden in shadow. The curve of his fingers from the base to the tip was symmetrical and slender, with distinct knuckles.

"..." Gu Yuning reached out her hand, trembling, trying to place her hand on it.

"Hahahaha." Suddenly a burst of laughter came. Lin Zhou happened to see a funny scene. When he subconsciously turned around, he found Gu Yuning next to him with her head down and her hands clenched.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No..." Gu Yuning blushed slightly.

"Um?"

"I'm watching a movie too."

"Okay, okay."

Gu Yuning took a deep breath. It was fine just now. It was so natural when she linked arms with him. Now all she needs to do is be natural.

Yes, there's no need to be nervous.

Just put your hand on it, put it in naturally.

But perhaps due to the environment, Gu Yuning felt increasingly nervous, and her hand froze in mid-air.

Oh no, what am I supposed to do again?

My mind went completely blank.

But the next second, she felt warmth in her hand. Gu Yuning was stunned for a moment, then turned around—

At that moment, Lin Zhou looked at him with a smile.

His hand enveloped Gu Yuning's small hand, then slowly opened it, and finally their fingers intertwined, conveying a strong and warm feeling.

"!"

"Is it okay?" Lin Zhou whispered in Gu Yuning's ear, gently rubbing his thumb against the soft skin on the back of her hand.

"Hmm..." Gu Yuning tried to remain calm, but at this moment she wished she could do a thunderous roll, so much so that her body was as stiff as a wooden doll!

Lin Zhou didn't think too much about it. After learning that Yu Ning wasn't a yandere, he didn't need to pretend to be so domineering anymore. He could just act like he normally interacted with girls.

Lin Zhou continued to concentrate on the movie, but Gu Yuning was completely distracted.
