Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the sweltering heat that this coolness seems all the more precious.

Starting from the Tan Kong Building, stroll along this commercial street that is famous throughout the city and even the province.

There were no bustling crowds.

The wide streets are lined with dazzling neon light shows.

On the main street, the endless stream of roaring vehicles are far removed from the pedestrian walkways on the curbs on both sides.

With his right hand in his trouser pocket, Yu Zhe tapped his left hand to the rhythm of the popular songs playing on a loop in the shops lining the street, occasionally nodding and swaying his head slightly. He marveled inwardly at the bustling yet unirritating environment around him.

Speaking of which... I often take a car along this road to work in the evenings, but to actually sit down and walk along this road myself is something I haven't done since I was a child.

Back then, urban development wasn't nearly as good as it is now.

Besides marveling at the city's scenery.

Yu Zhe also has something else to say.

He sighed helplessly, his gaze drifting listlessly to either side. (Monthly fee group 694936135)

"Young master, please watch out for the manhole cover ahead!"

"Five meters ahead...waterlogged area..."

"Young Master, do you feel too chilly today? There's a convenience store over there; would you like to buy a scarf?"

"Keeping warm...is necessary..."

"..."

Yu Zhe had nothing to say.

In a normal date, shouldn't the boy take the lead and protect the girl he loves?

That's great! It's completely reversed!

Lu Ling and Lu Yao weren't wearing maid outfits today, but rather matching beige casual two-piece dresses.

The pale yellow sash tied around her waist fluttered gracefully, a unique beauty of a young girl.

Even when they weren't wearing their maid outfits, they never forgot their mission!

Goodness, ever since they left the company, the two of them have been on full alert again, one on the left and one on the right, observing their surroundings and protecting Yu Zhe tightly in the middle.

Yu Zhe smiled wryly, quickened her pace, and tried to break through the two sisters' encirclement to get to the front.

Who knew... they also quickened their pace at the same time.

The attempt to break through failed.

You want to play the game of relative stillness with me?

Helpless, Yu Zhe could only raise his arms and pat Lu Ling and Lu Yao on the shoulders.

"Hmm? What are your orders, young master?" "Stand by..."

"No, I just meant that this isn't how you guys go on dates..."

Yu Zhe couldn't care less about Lu Ling's sudden expression of self-reproach.

He had to take this opportunity to explain to them the true meaning and essence of dating!

Very naturally, Yu Zhe once again took their hands in his own, which were still incredibly smooth despite years of practice.

Once their hands were held, they became much more obedient.

Yu Zhe was able to walk ahead and lead them on a walk, explaining in a serious tone.

"Listen, dating isn't like your regular work. It doesn't require intense concentration; it's all about being spontaneous! Go wherever you want, see whatever you want. The purpose of a date is simply to spend some quality time with someone you like."

Is...is that so?

"Young Master...you really know your stuff..."

Sigh, don't even ask Yu Zhe why he knows so much.

He wouldn't have been able to articulate such a concept in the past.

But after spending a lot of time with the girls, you naturally gain some insights into their hearts.

Little did they know, whether Lu Ling and Lu Yao understood his words or not, at least their gazes...

She kept her eyes glued to the hand that the young master was holding!

Hehe... Dating is indeed an incredibly wonderful thing.

The three of them, hand in hand, formed a striking and beautiful sight on the bustling street.

Two identical twin girls are walking hand in hand with a stunningly beautiful silver-haired girl in the middle. Isn't this much more beautiful than neon lights or starry night skies?

Lu Ling usually trains her observation skills, so she naturally noticed and captured all the increasing gazes that were gathering around her.

Through intuition, I sensed no murderous intent or malice in those gazes.

Clearly, the young master's safety was not...

There are threatening factors.

Since there is no security threat, there is no need to pay special attention or take any measures to avoid it.

This is how it should be...

However, Lu Ling felt inexplicably annoyed by the way people around her were looking at the young master...

The young master just said that dating is all about "doing whatever you want"?

If that's the case... then it means it's okay to be a little willful, right?

Yu Zhe suddenly felt his left hand, the one that Lu Ling was holding, being gripped very tightly.

She clearly had something to say.

Yu Zhe cooperated and stopped for the time being.

He turned back and asked with concern.

"Lu Ling, what's wrong? Would you like something to drink? It's so hot today, I recommend getting some cold drinks to enjoy while you walk!"

That would be absolutely wonderful!

However, Lu Ling simply shook her head gently: "No... Young Master, I just don't want to walk here anymore. I remember there's a more fun place nearby! Shall we go there?"

"Sure!" Yu Zhe was more than happy to oblige. "Hmm, you're quick to grasp things. A date is about going wherever you want. Okay, so where to go?"

"Young master, please follow me!"

"Huh?"

Why have you suddenly become so energetic?!

Lu Yao didn't say anything, but held Yu Zhe's hand tightly and followed.

She seemed to have guessed what Aya was thinking.

A faint sense of anticipation also arose in my heart.

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

If the stroll just now was like walking on the most dazzling avenue, then this is definitely the most secluded path!

Yu Zhe had no idea that he had walked two miles from the bustling city center, through several dark alleys, and along a path with fewer and fewer streetlights.

The streetlights are completely gone!

It felt like I had suddenly wandered into some desolate wilderness.

That's just an exaggeration... After all, it's so close to the city center, it's just relatively underdeveloped.

All the factories were abandoned and hadn't been renovated yet. A dried-up ditch along the way showed that this place hadn't been used for a long time.

Yu Zhe had absolutely no idea where Lu Ling was going.

The further you go into this place, the more eerie it becomes. If Yu Zhe were to come here at night, he would definitely be terrified and panicked.

But now, he's not panicked at all! Not only is he not panicked, but he's quite at ease!

As long as Lu Ling and Lu Yao are around, no matter what kind of monsters or demons appear, they will all be defeated, except for Sister Lin Yin!

However... this did not affect Yu Zhe's confusion.

"Lu Ling? Are you trying to surprise me or scare me? A date requires advance planning, but you're not telling me where you want to go. There's an information asymmetry!"

"Ah... I'm sorry, young master, is this really inappropriate of me?"

"No, this is great, I love adventure."

“Young Master…you have great courage…” Lu Yao slowed her pace and moved closer to Yu Zhe, giving him courage.

Yu Zhe also pasted it back.

In reality, he didn't need that courage.

You know, Yu Zhe often had these kinds of adventures when he was a child!

Exploring abandoned places, without lights, looking mysterious—isn't that fun?

Of course, this must be done under the premise of ensuring safety.

but...

As Yu Zhe ventured deeper into the abandoned factory, kicking away screws along the way, he felt the environment becoming increasingly familiar.

This feeling had just surfaced in Yu Zhe's mind.

Lu Ling stopped walking.

She turned around and gave Yu Zhe a faint smile.

Then, she used her free hand to take out her phone from the pocket of her skirt.

He turned on the flashlight and shone it forward.

A beam of light, barely visible in the vast night sky, was emitted, offering little illumination.

But this little glimmer of light is enough.

Yu Zhe looked at the building a few steps away and widened his eyes in slight surprise.
