She seemed to have known Jiang Tang's thoughts all along, so she simply resisted with her actions.

"..."

Jiang Tang's mouth dropped open slightly, and he stood there stunned.

Before long, Lilith returned with a full load of game coins, this time brimming with confidence.

"Darling, I'm sure I can catch Rem this time!"

But then she saw the figurine in Jiang Tang's hand, and the girl instantly froze and murmured to herself.

"You only used eight coins..."

Strictly speaking, there are actually two coins, because Ren Qianning only tried once.

However, Jiang Tang couldn't offer too much explanation on this matter.

So he smiled helplessly and nodded.

As for who owns the figurine, Ren Qianning's attitude is already very clear.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Tang composed himself and said.

"It's for you."

"Darling is amazing!" Lilith exclaimed excitedly, hugging the figurine Jiang Tang handed her.

"I... am not good at all." Jiang Tang laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Now that we've caught this one, shall we go play something else?"

“Okay!” Lilith said happily, without a trace of worry.

Jiang Tang gazed at her, but his heart was drawn to another girl.

If Ren Qianning could smile so innocently and carefree, that would be wonderful. In fact, she rarely even smiles; her always cold and aloof demeanor is heartbreaking.

Shaking his head, Jiang Tang briefly removed Ren Qianning's image from his mind.

After all, he belongs to Lilith today.

The two of them were going to have a wonderful date, a date that belonged only to each other.

Just as Ren Qianning said, he shouldn't have been thinking about another girl while spending time with his girlfriend.

In a corner of the arcade, a girl wearing a loose hoodie slowly took off her hood, revealing her slightly messy silver-gray short hair.

Her gaze softened for the first time, and briefly, she stopped looking at Jiang Tang.

But his image is constantly in my mind, impossible to shake off.

………………

Perhaps the so-called "fortune" really exists.

It is said that no one can be unlucky forever, and good fortune will not always favor one person.

Lilith, having redeemed a full set of game coins, made a triumphant start on another claw machine, winning an adorable bunny doll with just three grabs!

They then went to play other claw machines, and Lilith and Jiang Tang also had a great time.

In the end, they returned home laden with so many gifts that they couldn't carry them all in their arms. They even won a large Brown Bear plush toy by playing games!

Jiang Tang had to retract his previous statement that the store was a complete rip-off.

Moreover, when Lilith went to the front desk to pay, she was surprised to find that the store also offered a service of packing and delivering dolls to customers' homes.

She was worried because she was in a hurry to go to the hotel with Jiang Tang, and she had no way to bring these things with her, nor did she have anywhere to put them.

So she quickly wrote down the address: the international student dormitory at Tianfu University, ostensibly to share her joy.

In fact, she wanted to send all these dolls back to Minamoto no Shiki and Miyamoto no Maizo in a way that would leave them dumbfounded.

Not to mention that she and Jiang Tang caught the doll together, Lilith really knows how to draw aggro!

But who can blame Lilith for being in the nature of showing off?

Jiang Tang could only rub her dazzling golden hair.

Only under Jiang Tang's caresses can Lilith truly be as docile as a "golden retriever".

The shop assistants looked on with envy and asked the couple to take a photo together—the kind of common trick where tourists leave photos to be posted on the wall or somewhere else to attract new customers.

Lilith agreed without much thought, but Jiang Tang shook his head and refused.

He doesn't like to be in the public eye like this.

Moreover, it's best not to easily agree to matters concerning portrait rights.

Lilith eventually listened to Jiang Tang, wrote down the mailing address, and walked out of the arcade with him.

Next up is the main event of the night!

No, it's the highlight of Lilith's entire life!

Have you booked a hotel?

"It's booked, at the same place as last time."

“Last time…” Jiang Tang murmured, then remembered and coughed softly.

That place...

He tied Lilith up himself, then ran away without doing anything else.

That place could be called Lilith's place of sorrow.

Surprisingly, she still chose that place.

The saying goes, "You have to get up where you fell down."

Is it far?

"It is a bit far, but I'll call Xia Yue and ask her to come pick us up."

"okay."

Jiang Tang and Lilith simply sat down to rest in the rest area set up at the entrance of the mall.

Would you like something to drink?

Jiang Tang suddenly asked.

"Milk tea will do, vanilla pudding flavor, please~"

Lilith sounded very happy because Jiang Tang was buying her a drink just like a real boyfriend.

The reason it's described as "similar" is because their relationship could be described as that of a boyfriend and girlfriend without any official status.

But Lilith didn't care about that.

A short while later, Jiang Tang returned to the rest area, carrying a steaming cup of milk tea and another cup of sweet fruit tea.

When he arrived at the rest area, he discovered that Miss Natsuki, dressed in a maid's dress, was already serving Lilith.

When she saw Jiang Tang, she gave him a perfectly polite smile.

"Good evening, Young Master Jiang Tang."

"Good evening... Sorry, I forgot to bring you a copy as well."

"Young Master Jiang Tang, you flatter me. I would not dare to overstep my bounds."

"Thank you, darling!" Lilith happily accepted the milk tea from Jiang Tang, then looked at the maid Xia Yue beside her and complained.

"You've never been this polite when you eat my snacks before."

Xia Yue smiled with her eyes narrowed, looking even more like a cunning maid.

"You have to be a little reserved before eating a proper meal."

Lilith immediately raised her eyes alertly and moved closer to Jiang Tang as if protecting her food.

"Xia Yue, why do I feel like there's something hidden in what you just said?"

"How could that be?" Xia Yue's smile remained unchanged.

"It's getting late, Miss, it's time to go to the hotel."

She urged, but this was actually Lilith's idea as well.

She couldn't stand being outside for even half a second longer!

All she wanted to do right now was get to the hotel, take a nice, fragrant shower, and snuggle into her warm bed…

So Lilith immediately looked at Jiang Tang, her eyes flashing with a light that could only be understood but not explained. It was indeed better for the boy to bring up this kind of thing.

Jiang Tang could certainly see that, and he was also quite looking forward to it.

So he went along with Lilith's wishes and said that sentence.

"Let's set off now."

216 The family is proud of you.

Xia Yue drove fast and steadily, quickly dropping Lilith and Jiang Tang off at the hotel entrance.

She got out of the car, hugged Lilith goodbye, and initially spoke at a normal volume.

"Have a pleasant evening, Miss."

But when the next sentence came, he suddenly whispered in Lilith's ear.

"The family is proud of you."

Lilith blushed and remained silent for a long while.

She nodded.

"……Um."

The two released their embrace, and Lilith quickly ran back to Jiang Tang's side without the slightest reluctance, as if that was where she belonged.

Who is Xia Yue? I really don't know her.

This left the maid helpless, thinking that the young lady had truly forgotten her family once she had a "darling".
