Why are you always thinking about dating me?

Su Yuejin hummed in agreement. She looked up at the sunset outside the window, where the fiery clouds in the distance were especially beautiful. The pink clouds caught her eye, and she paused for a few seconds before a slight smile appeared on her lips.

She suddenly felt a warmth, as if her usual loneliness had been filled by something. But she was just fantasizing, imagining what she would do with him next. Suddenly, she seemed to hear him say as he left, "I'm going on a date with someone I like this afternoon."

That sentence made her head buzz again. She shook her head, trying hard not to think about it, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand to avoid danger.

Su Yuejin slowly stretched out her slender arm, raised it, and looked at the fiery clouds in the distance, her eyes shining brightly.

Even if you can't grasp it, you can always look at it from afar.

....................................

Lin An didn't change his clothes. He felt he needed to change, because if Luo Shuishui smelled Su Yuejin's scent on him again, she would probably complain about him again. However, Lin An thought he was probably used to it by now, so he washed his hair and went out.

He took a taxi to Ziyue Plaza and quickly found Luo Shuishui at the mall entrance. She was standing there with a small speaker next to her, one connected to a microphone and the other to an electric guitar.

There were also two tall chairs and a microphone stand. She seemed to have made a lot of preparations, but if someone knew this stuff and was knowledgeable about it, they would know that this set of equipment alone cost over 10 yuan.

Today she was wearing a white shirt, a pale white plaid skirt, and a small blazer. Her hair was neatly draped over her shoulders, swaying gently in the wind. She was looking up, her eyes seemingly sparkling with a warm light, gazing at the pale pink sunset clouds on the horizon.

Lin An had already walked up to her side when she came to her senses. She glanced at Lin An and asked softly, "Nothing happened last night, right?"

"That depends on what you mean..."

"Okay, I shouldn't have asked." Luo Shuishui gently twitched her cute little nose, having gotten a rough idea of ​​what was going on, and then she picked up the guitar that was lying there and gave it to Lin An.

Fortunately, the songs she was going to sing were all simple ones, and many of them were old songs. Strangely, the song list overlapped with Lin An's, who could play almost all of them. Surprisingly, he was also a little surprised and sat down on the long bench.

Luo Shuishui had clearly already set up the equipment. She glanced at Lin An beside her and then murmured, "You really aren't stage-frightened."

"...It's alright, but won't they kick us out of their store?"

"But this shopping mall is mine too, why are they kicking me out?"

"..." Even though Lin An was well-prepared, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.

Luo Shuishui always manages to give him some inexplicable frights. What on earth does this guy's family do?!

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Su Yuejin...Idiot

Luo Shuishui's voice was clear and gentle, like that of a first love.

Every word she sang was in tune. On the contrary, Lin An felt that his guitar was not quite up to Luo Shuishui's voice. The first song Luo Shuishui sang was a very simple one, a little bit of luck that was quite popular a while ago.

She sang softly, and passersby stopped to listen, but only a few were willing to give her a tip.

Because Luo Shuishui had placed her QR code for receiving payments there, and next to it was a line of small print.

"Please support me if you like it! My boyfriend is next to me, we don't add each other on WeChat (*▽*)"

Lin An noticed the girl's unexpected playfulness, but he didn't care. He was happy to play the role of her boyfriend at this moment because Luo Shuishui was sunny and bright. Besides, the reason she added this message was because she was indeed beautiful and would make people want to add her on WeChat. Such a statement would make it impossible for people to get any closer to her.

But Lin An was still surprised that it was such a coincidence that he knew all the songs on her playlist.

Luo Shuishui sang four songs. During the short intermission, someone scanned a QR code and tipped her 100 yuan. Luo Shuishui bowed and said thank you in a gentle voice, and seemed quite happy.

"Would the young lady be happy about this little bit of money?"

“Because I earned it myself,” Luo Shuishui answered frankly, and Lin An nodded, “That’s true.”

"Speaking of which... why do I know all the songs on your playlist? What a coincidence!" Lin An couldn't help but ask the question.

Luo Shuishui turned to Lin An and stared at him for three seconds, her eyes filled with a deep, resentful look, like a kitten, as if she were about to stretch out her little paws with pink pads and slap his face.

Her cheeks puffed out slightly. "Because this was part of my dating plan. I wanted to do this with my boyfriend. I thought it would be very romantic, so it was part of my dating plan. But before I could finish it, you broke up with me."

Although she was the one who dumped Lin An, the ending seemed to make no difference.

"So I listened to your playlist back then. I know a lot of your songs by heart, and I was just waiting for that day." Luo Shuishui's tone wasn't one of regret, but simply resentment towards Lin An, which made Lin An smile helplessly.

He and Luo Shuishui sat in their respective chairs, chatting quietly. The clouds in the sky were beautiful and colorful, and passersby occasionally cast envious glances at them.

Perhaps their appearance embodies the youth that many people envy.

Many people's youth is devoid of romance, lacking warmth and purity; it's mostly a repetitive cycle of day after day, striving for the future, or simply wasting time without a care in the world.

Luo Shuishui asked him what he wanted to hear, and Lin An said anything was fine. Then Luo Shuishui sang an English song.

I hate you, I love you.

Lin An gently plucked the strings of the zither, occasionally glancing at Luo Shuishui's profile. She was very focused, and her profile was beautiful when she was focused.

..............................

Su Yuejin and Xiao Chacha met at Ziyue Plaza. Su Yuejin wore a JK uniform, while Xiao Chacha wore a sweet Lolita dress. They were both very pretty girls, and they looked... extremely wealthy.

Although we are often reluctant to admit it, it is true that one's temperament is something that can only be cultivated through life experiences from a young age, making it easy for people to distinguish one another from another.

They are confident, fierce, and full of youthful energy.

When Xiao Chacha and Su Yuejin met, Xiao Chacha smiled, then walked over to Su Yuejin's side, muttering, "How can you still get out of bed?"

"Why not? Do you think that last night was my first time, just like the last time you were with some random guy?"

"What's there to brag about?" Xiao Chacha muttered dismissively, but Su Yuejin just laughed happily.

She was about to say something when the two of them walked into the mall. Xiao Chacha heard the singing and was about to say that it was quite nice, but Su Yuejin suddenly stopped.

Her gaze swept over there, and she stood there, frozen in place, as if she had suddenly been petrified.

In her eyes were Lin An and Luo Shuishui, both of them seemed to have a smile on their lips. The afterglow of the setting sun shone down, and the crowd around them was moving about. The crowd was in a hurry, but the two of them seemed lazy and comfortable, as if they were in perfect sync, as if they were... a match made in heaven.

A sudden pang of sadness welled up in Su Yuejin's heart. Su Yuejin stared blankly into the distance, while Xiao Chacha also stopped and looked at Lin An and Luo Shuishui.

"What's with this inexplicable sense of compatibility?" Xiao Chacha tried hard to force a smile, but her voice betrayed a hint of disappointment and jealousy that she herself didn't realize.

But Su Yuejin didn't notice. She just suddenly felt a little sore. She grabbed Xiao Chacha's hand and quickened her pace, hurrying through the slightly crowded people.

"Hey you……"

But Su Yuejin just grabbed Xiao Chacha and entered the mall through another entrance. She walked very fast, or rather, she ran. After entering the mall, Su Yuejin turned her face away so that Xiao Chacha could not see her face, and then Su Yuejin rubbed her eyes.

"Let's go eat stone pot fish," she said.

"Aren't you jealous?" Xiao Chacha asked knowingly.

Or rather, she was actually asking herself the same question.

"So what if I'm jealous? Am I supposed to run over there and tell him you're not going to play the piano anymore, okay?" Su Yuejin's tone seemed a bit self-deprecating, but she didn't seem too sad or disappointed.

"I know, I know everything, I always knew, I was just being stubborn with myself." She and Xiao Chacha took the elevator to the fifth floor of the mall and ordered a stone pot fish.

Su Yuejin added a lot of vinegar and chili to her bowl and stirred it with chopsticks. Xiao Chacha watched her like this and knew that Su Yuejin had this habit of eating a lot of vinegar and spicy food when she was in a bad mood.

"So ruthless?" she asked, looking at Su Yuejin.

But Su Yuejin still took care of her, ordering the stone pot fish only slightly spicy, because Xiao Chacha was still on her period today, even though it was the last day.

"I'm fine," Su Yuejin said. She didn't slump over the table; she looked proud and aloof, stubbornly adorable.

"Why don't you just let it go... If you don't think about him, you won't be sad anymore?" Xiao Chacha asked tentatively.

If Su Yuejin could nod her head now, she would be overjoyed.

"I say, why are you so eager for me to leave his side?" Su Yuejin didn't even consider Xiao Chacha's suggestion, and instead looked at Xiao Chacha with a hint of threat in her eyes.

"It's because I feel sorry for you..."

"I'm not pathetic at all. I think I'm much better than the person I used to be. At least I won't feel lonely anymore. I like this feeling, but unfortunately, it doesn't belong to me."

Su Yuejin murmured to herself, but what echoed in her ears were Lin An's words when he left... "I'm going on a date with the person I like this afternoon."

Dating.

The person I like.

What a romantic story!

She thought to herself... Why did they break up back then? Was it because he truly loved her and wanted to play hard to get to resolve some of the barriers between them? Or was it for some other reason? He would like her, wouldn't he? He liked her, didn't he... Yes, Luo Shui Shui seemed so gentle and obedient, she had a really good temper... Yes... Yes... That annoying green tea bitch.

But what is she?

Su Yuejin herself felt that she was more like a willing slut.

These thoughts kept surfacing in Su Yuejin's head. She tried hard to pat her face, trying to stop herself from thinking about them.

The stone pot fish arrived quickly, still bubbling away. She picked up a piece, stirred it in the chili and vinegar, waited for it to cool, and took a bite, only to have her eyes water.

Xiao Chacha simply watched, her expression indifferent.

She wasn't as agitated as Su Yuejin, perhaps because her love wasn't as deep, perhaps because she wasn't as averse to such things, or perhaps because she felt that Lin An and Luo Shuishui didn't have any romantic feelings for each other.

Although that was just her opinion.

The stone pot fish was bubbling away. Su Yuejin didn't say a word, just ate the fish in small bites. Her forehead was covered in sweat from the spiciness. She took out a tissue to wipe it off and continued eating.

..............................

7 p.m.

Luo Shuishui was tired; after all, no one is an iron man. Lin An was also a bit tired from playing. He had received over six hundred yuan in tips today, which made Lin An realize that pretty girls do indeed have a gender advantage.

Luo Shuishui wasn't in a hurry to pack up the equipment yet. "Can you sing me one more song?"

"What do you want to hear?" Lin An asked her.

"Anything is fine, as long as it's you singing."

After thinking for a moment, Lin An finally sang "Her Eyelashes".

Luo Shuishui sat there quietly listening, gently swaying her fair and slender legs. Only after Lin An finished singing did she hear applause.

The applause came from behind him. Lin An turned around and met Su Yuejin's slightly red eyes.

Lin An paused for a moment, but Su Yuejin took a step closer. She was silent for a short while before saying, "I was just passing by with Chacha to get something to eat."

"Oh, I see... What a coincidence."

Lin An answered softly.

"I want to sing too, Luo Shuishui, can I borrow your microphone?"

"Of course, whatever you like."

Luo Shuishui moved closer to Su Yuejin, then reached out and gently patted her shoulder. "You don't need to misunderstand. I didn't steal your treasure. I just happened to ask him to come and help."

Su Yuejin stared into Luo Shuishui's eyes, but Luo Shuishui's eyes were not as sincere as she had imagined; instead, they seemed somewhat misty.

Su Yuejin grasped the microphone.
