Oh no! I've only been a freshman and I've already been targeted by a mean upperclassman.

Li Chen didn't urge her.

I just quietly stayed by her side.

When we reached the undersea tunnel.

Yan Xi suddenly stopped in her tracks.

I looked up and saw a shark swimming overhead.

"Li Chen".

"Um?"

Are you afraid of sharks?

"I'm not afraid."

Li Chen also looked up.

"They're locked up here, what's there to be afraid of?"

"What if we met at sea?"

"Then let's run."

Li Chen smiled.

"If you can't beat them, can't you at least run away?"

Yan Xi turned her head.

Look at him.

"Can't you say something heroic?"

"Like what?"

"for example……"

Yan Xi thought for a moment.

For example, I will protect you.

Li Chen was stunned for a moment.

Then he laughed.

"Then I will protect you."

"real?"

"real."

Li Chen nodded.

"No matter what happens, I will protect you."

Yan Xi stared at him for a few seconds.

Then he turned his head away.

"At least you still have some conscience."

The two continued walking forward.

When we arrived at the dolphin show area.

Just in time for the performance to begin.

Yan Xi pulled Li Chen to sit in the audience.

The performance was excellent.

Dolphins leap, spin, and balance balls in the water...

This drew rounds of applause from the audience.

Yan Xi watched very carefully.

His eyes were shining.

Li Chen didn't watch the performance.

His gaze remained fixed on Yan Xi's face.

This woman is usually as aloof as an iceberg.

But at this moment, he's like a child.

His face was filled with curiosity and surprise.

The performance has ended.

Yan Xi turned her head.

She noticed that Li Chen was looking at her.

"Why are you watching me if you're not going to watch the performance?"

"Because you're more entertaining than the performance."

Li Chen smiled.

"and……"

"And what?"

"And I've noticed that you look especially beautiful when you smile."

Yan Xi was stunned for a moment.

Then she blushed.

"Glib-tongued."

She stood up.

"I'm gone."

Li Chen stood up as well.

The two walked out of the performance area.

Continue exploring.

unconsciously.

It was already 5 p.m.

The aquarium is closing.

A staff member's announcement came over the loudspeaker.

"Attention all visitors, the museum is about to close. Please leave in an orderly manner..."

Yan Xi glanced at the time.

"They're closing so soon?"

"yes."

Li Chen nodded.

Time flies.

"Let's go then."

Yan Xi turned and walked towards the exit.

Li Chen followed behind her.

The two walked out of the aquarium.

It was already dark outside.

The streetlights came on.

People come and go on the street.

Yan Xi stopped in her tracks.

Are you hungry?

"fine."

Li Chen shook his head.

"And you?"

"A little."

Yan Xi thought for a moment.

"How about we go get something to eat?"

"OK."

Li Chen nodded.

What would you like to eat?

"casual."

Yan Xi glanced around.

"Let's find a shop nearby."

The two walked along the street for a while.

Found a restaurant that looked pretty good.

Go inside.

The waiter greeted us warmly.

"Please come in, gentlemen."

Yan Xi and Li Chen sat down by the window.

We ordered several dishes.

Then wait quietly.

The street scene outside the window looked particularly lively under the lights.

Yan Xi rested her chin on her hand.

Looking out the window.

"Li Chen".

"Um?"

"you say……"

She paused.

"Will we end up like them in the future?"

"Who does he look like?"

"Like those couples."

Yan Xi pointed out the window.

"Holding hands while shopping, eating together, watching movies together..."

"Yes."

Li Chen nodded.

"If you want, we can."

"real?"

"real."

Li Chen took her hand.

"I will definitely keep my promise to you."

Yan Xi looked at him.

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Then you'll regret it."

"Won't."

Li Chen smiled.

"My greatest strength is that I keep my word."

The dishes were served quickly.

The two ate and chatted.

The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

After finishing the meal.

It's almost eight o'clock.

Yan Xi glanced at the time on her phone.

Then he looked up at Li Chen.

"What time is it now?"

It's almost eight o'clock.

Li Chen also glanced at the time.

"What's wrong?"

"That……"

Yan Xi paused.

"Can you still go back?"

Li Chen was stunned for a moment.

He noticed the mischievous glint in Yan Xi's eyes.

I instantly understood what she meant.

"It's too late."

He sighed deliberately.

"I'm afraid we can't go back."

"What should we do then?"

Yan Xi pretended to be in a difficult position.

"or……"

Li Chen took over the conversation.

"Let's go to a hotel."

Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, then a look of panic flashed across her face.

"What...what do you want to do?"

"You're not allowed to do anything reckless!"

Li Chen looked at her expression.

Can't help but laugh.

He moved closer to her.

Lower your voice.

"Hehehe, I just love to mess around."

Yan Xi glared at him.

"You dare!"

"Am I afraid?"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Would you like to give it a try?"

Yan Xi bit her lip.

Then he suddenly laughed.

"Okay."

She stood up.

"Then let's give it a try."

Li Chen was stunned.

This script is wrong.

Logically, Yan Xi should have shyly refused.

Then he took a step back.

Why did she agree so readily?

"What's wrong?"

Yan Xi looked at him.

"You won't dare anymore?"

"Who says I don't dare?"

Li Chen also stood up.

"Let's go then."

The two walked out of the restaurant.

Yan Xi was driving.

Li Chen sat in the passenger seat.

The atmosphere inside the car was a little awkward.

Li Chen secretly glanced at Yan Xi.

Her expression was calm.

He showed no emotion whatsoever.

But Li Chen could sense it.

The force with which she gripped the steering wheel.

It's a bit tighter than usual.

The car drove for more than ten minutes.

It stopped in front of a five-star hotel.

Yan Xi turned off the engine.

She turned to look at Li Chen.

"arrive."

"Um."

Li Chen nodded.

"Then... get off the bus?"

"get off."

Yan Xi opened the car door.

Li Chen also got out of the car.

The two entered the hotel lobby.

The receptionist saw them.

He immediately flashed a professional smile.

"Would you two like to book a room?"

"Um."

Yan Xi nodded.

"Book a suite."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The waiter began processing the paperwork.

Li Chen stood to the side.

My heart inexplicably quickened.

Although I stayed there once before.

But this time, the feeling is...

It seems a bit different.

"Sir, please show me your ID card."

The waiter's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Li Chen came to his senses.

He took out his ID card and handed it over.

The formalities are complete.

The waiter handed over two room keys.

"Please enjoy your stay, both of you."

Yan Xi took the room key.

He turned and walked toward the elevator.

Li Chen followed behind her.

The two entered the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed.

In a cramped space.

There were only the two of them.

Li Chen could hear his own heartbeat.

dong dong dong.

Each beat is faster than the last.

The elevator has arrived.

The door opened.

Yan Xi walked out.

Li Chen followed.

The two walked to the door of the room.

Yan Xi swiped her card.

The door opened.

She went inside.

Li Chen followed him inside.

The door closed behind me.

It made a soft sound.

The room is very large.

Living room, bedroom, bathroom.

Everything is available.

The city's night view is visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Bright lights.

Yan Xi walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside.

Li Chen stood behind her, unsure of what to say.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

after awhile.

Yan Xi suddenly turned around.

"Li Chen".

"Um?"

"You just said..."

She paused.

"You like to act recklessly?"
