Finally, her eyes lit up as she caught sight of the handsome young man who stood out among the crowd.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Ye Mu wiped the sweat from his head and gave an apologetic smile.
Little Bochi shook his head and stood up unsteadily. It was now 8:26, and there were still about five minutes until the 8:30 they had agreed on.
"Senior, you are not late. It's my fault that I came too early."
Little Pochi's voice was still so weak, it was obvious that she should wait a little longer.
Ye Mu pursed her lips and placed her hand on her head under Xiao Boqi's horrified gaze.
She hunched her shoulders in fear and closed her eyes, but the pain she had imagined did not come. Instead, a gentle caress came from her head.
"I told you, don't take all the blame on yourself. Besides, you did nothing wrong."
You have to be tougher, otherwise you will be easily bullied.
Ye Mu can protect Xiao Boqi, but he can only provide her with protection. To be truly good to Xiao Boqi is to let her grow up on her own.
Stern yet distressed words reached her ears, but this time little Bochi didn't just nod and pass it by. She knew Ye Mu's intentions, and naturally understood that his intention in saying this was to help her grow.
only……
"Senior," Little Pochi raised his head and looked at Ye Mu, "I know, I understand what you mean."
“I only keep it like this with the people around me.”
"I just... want to be cared for by my seniors like before."
Chapter 65 Aquarium
On a sunny summer day, boys and girls are walking side by side, hand in hand, on the narrow streets.
Passersby walked by in groups of two or three, casting looks of ridicule and envy upon the young couple.
Although this "couple" didn't seem to talk all the way, anyone who saw the girl's sweet expression would be sure that they were a couple.
Little Boqi never thought that one day she would become the heroine in a youth film.
At the beginning, she was still nervous when she encountered the crowd and subconsciously shrank towards Ye Mu.
But a warm big hand appeared at the right time and wrapped the small hand that seemed a little cold because of fear.
Feeling the warmth coming from all directions on the back of her hand, she felt relieved and smiled softly.
First they took the tram, then they walked. Along the way, little Bochi was dizzy and didn't even know where she was. She let Ye Mu hold her hand and move forward.
"Little Boqi, aren't you afraid that I will kidnap and sell you to the deep mountains and forests, where you will never see your parents, Hongxia, and the others again in your life?"
Seeing that little Bochi kept squinting his eyes and smiling like a cute puppy being stroked, Ye Mu couldn't help but teased him.
This was also the first time Ye Mu brought up the topic since the conversation when they first met.
Ye Mu wanted to make his tone sound as fierce as possible, but when it reached Xiao Boqi's ears, it was as if a beautifying filter was added.
She tilted her head and looked at Ye Mu beside her, her tone full of seriousness.
"No, I believe in you, Senior. Even if you really did this, there must be some deeper purpose behind it."
"Well……"
She is so cute!
Ye Mu once again felt the critical hit brought to him by Xiao Boqi.
Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon, and little Pochi doesn’t know how seductive she is when she tilts her head and expresses her inner feelings in the simplest and most clumsy way.
The reason why Ye Mu didn't say anything the whole time was because he was slowly digesting the shock brought by her words "I just want to be cared for by you, senior".
The silence did not last for a while. The scenery in front of us became wider and the flow of people had increased visibly. A huge venue was already in front of us.
This is where the two of them are having their date today.
"We're at the aquarium now. I've already bought the ticket. I can just go in directly."
Ye Mu subconsciously didn't want the girls to notice his shyness, so he changed the subject somewhat awkwardly.
Little Bochi nodded, and after checking their tickets, the two of them entered the dark venue together.
I have to say this is indeed a great place for a date.
Everywhere I looked, I saw a sea of aqua blue. The dark tones coming from all directions silently brought the two closer together. The quiet area divided by small aquariums was a great place for intimacy.
call……
After entering the venue, Ye Mu could clearly feel that little Bochi's nervousness had eased a lot, and the hands he held were no longer held tightly, but gently placed together.
This kind of dark environment is more suitable for a dark person like me.
Little Pochi felt like he was back home. His tense body relaxed and he actually felt much more at home looking at the various strange arthropods in the aquariums around him.
She took Ye Mu's hand and started walking around.
When it comes to dating, you should definitely try to do it in an environment that makes the other person comfortable.
Ye Mu nodded with satisfaction. This was the effect he wanted to see. A place like an amusement park was indeed too much for little Bochi.
Looking at the aquariums one by one, little Boqi suddenly stopped in front of one of them. She let go of her hands, leaned on the glass, and looked inside.
Ye Mu didn't mind. He went around to the other side of the transparent aquarium and lay on the glass like Little Bochi did. The only difference was that he was not only looking at the things in the aquarium, but also admiring Little Bochi's expression.
There was a layer of sand that was not too thick, and inside it were a few earthworm-like creatures that were half buried, wriggling once or twice from time to time to bury themselves deeper.
This kind of thing cannot be called cute in a broad sense no matter how you talk about it, but look at little Pochi, there is actually envy in her big, sparkling eyes.
Fortunately, her thoughts were not difficult to guess. After thinking for a moment, Ye Mu, with a frown on his face, understood what was going on.
Little Pochi was probably thinking.
These bugs are so happy! They can hide in the sand anytime and anywhere, which really makes them feel safe!
I wish I could hide underground anytime and anywhere.
The doubt turned into a dumb laugh, and Ye Mu observed Xiao Boqi's expression again, and estimated that his guess was almost right.
And little Pochi finally noticed his senior who had deliberately gone around to the other side to observe him. He immediately stood up straight and hid his expression behind his drooping hair.
Her body began to shrink as if being water-filled, and Ye Mu was so scared that he hurriedly held her little hand again, thus stopping little Pochi from wanting to shrink into the ground.
Continuing to walk forward, the terrain slowly descended and the two entered a dim underwater tunnel together.
Through the glass, you can clearly see the floating seaweed, coral reefs of various colors, and schools of fish swimming to who knows where.
The strange sight made little Boqi open his mouth in surprise, and he raised his head blankly, staring at the unknown fish.
"What's wrong? Is this the first time we meet?"
Ye Mu rubbed little Bochi's head. The twenty-centimeter height difference between them made it easy for him to do so.
Little Bochi did not resist Ye Mu's actions, but just lowered his head silently so that his hand could better cover his head.
"Ah, not really. It's just that the last time I came to the aquarium... was when I was in elementary school. I was with my parents."
He paused, but continued to touch as if nothing had happened, but Ye Mu's movements were gentler and carried a hint of pity.
Sorry, I didn't take into account that the real social phobia's visits to these occasions can be traced back to when he went out with his parents.
"Then let's make up for it now!"
Having said that, without waiting for Xiao Boqi to reply, Ye Mu pulled her up and stepped into the deep tunnel.
Next, the two saw manta rays, sharks and other marine creatures. With Ye Mu's company, little Pochi gradually relaxed, with a relaxed smile on his face.
Of course, it wasn’t all smooth sailing.
When the two were watching the manta rays up close, the weak little Pochi seemed to be regarded as "powdery food that can be hunted" by a stupid manta ray. It stuck to the glass, opening and closing its mouth, which scared little Pochi.
When she came to her senses, she realized that she was being treated as a small fish or a bug or something like that, and she looked at Ye Mu pitifully with a pursed mouth.
Fortunately, little Bochi was not difficult to coax, and he returned to normal after a few words of comfort.
They are only three years apart in age, but for some reason Ye Mu and Xiao Boqi don’t look like a couple at this moment, but more like... a brother and his sister.
It doesn't matter, as long as little Pochi is happy.
Chapter 66: Confession
After walking around, the two tired people leaned against the railing beside the jellyfish pool to rest.
The water in the pond was clean and transparent. Jellyfish were swimming in the air with no support. Their ring-shaped bodies stretched and retracted as they swam gently.
Lying on the railing, little Pochi stared at the pink translucent jellyfish in a trance.
In the dim and secluded place, the tourists around were spread out and spoke in low voices, and a large space was deliberately left for Xiao Boqi and Ye Mu, a couple with a close relationship.
It was a peaceful atmosphere, but even in such an atmosphere, the thoughts in his heart became stronger and stronger. Ye Mu knew that it was time to confess.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Mu finally spoke.
"Little Pochi..."
She turned her head and looked at Ye Mu with her big blue eyes. Her pure eyes were filled with confusion and the joy that she couldn't hide from chatting with the person she liked.
It is always difficult to speak, but as long as you make up your mind and start talking, your confused thoughts seem to become much clearer.
"There is something I must confess to you."
Little Boqi felt a little uneasy, but he let Ye Mu continue talking.
"Ah, it's okay, go ahead, senior."
She started to use the "ah" word again, which she only did when she was nervous.
"I like Xiao Boqi very much, but if I also like another girl at the same time, would you accept it?"
Little Bochi's face turned pale in an instant, and she held onto the railing to prevent herself from falling.
"Senior, are you going to abandon me? Yes, for a girl as serious as me, how could anyone..."
"No, never!"
Ye Mu interrupted Xiao Boqi's words harshly.
"I will never abandon Little Pochi. Little Pochi is a very important treasure to me. This will never change. I swear."
Looking at his serious eyes, Xiao Boqi confirmed that Ye Mu was not lying, and his expression immediately eased a lot.
Although she had some possessiveness, she was a girl who was easily satisfied. At first she mistakenly thought that she was going to be abandoned, so she panicked, but after learning that the current situation would not change, she felt that it was not impossible.
It was Ye Mu who held up the sensitive and fragile her and accompanied her through her loneliness. So, even if Ye Mu didn't say anything, she could pretend not to know.
"Is it Hong Xia, Liang and the others?"
Little Pochi tried to make his voice sound as relaxed as possible, and asked in a seemingly casual but actually cautious manner.
"No, it's Gabriel, the blonde angel you saw that day."
"I see... She shouldn't be a girl like me who gives off a heavy feeling."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Boqi's momentum weakened. The other girl who occupied her senior's heart was a powerful angel who was countless times more beautiful than her (she thought so). In comparison, she suddenly felt that she was much inferior.
"She? She is actually a hopeless homebody. She is so much of a homebody that her house is filled with garbage and she has nowhere to go."
Ye Mu talked about the useless angel who accompanied him last night, with a helpless expression on his face.
"She's lazy, unkempt, and likes to complain. She has many shortcomings, but when applied to her, they seem more like... cute points?"
"Although she is usually lazy, her other side is still that compassionate, sympathetic, gentle and powerful angel."
Listening quietly to Ye Mu's story, which seemed like a complaint but was more like the scolding between lovers, Xiao Boqi only felt depressed and a pain spreading inside. She pressed her shoes against the transparent glass under the railing, applying force a little bit at a time.
"but--"
Ye Mu moved closer until his arm was touching that of Xiao Boqi's.
When she was at a loss, Ye Mu spoke slowly.
"Like I said, I like Pochi, too."
"She is a very pretty high school girl and a popular blogger called 'Guitar Hero' on the Internet, but she is always socially anxious and lacks confidence. The most she does is practice guitar alone in a cupboard.
Little Bochi is so cute, I want to help her, whether it is to overcome her social phobia and become a sunny girl, or to perform on the stage in front of everyone and become a household name.
