Chapter 267 First time
Even though he had a date previously with Su Bei, with the issue that had happened, it still made him feel nervous because of the issue that had happened days ago.
Leng Shao sighed as he looked at himself on the mirror. He dressed casually, wearing a simple polo shirt and light blue navy jeans with white sneakers. It was a simple outfit, but Leng Shao is actually proud of how he looks like.
’Thank goodness for genes,’ he thought to himself, looking at his phone when he felt that his phone buzzed, indicating that he received a message.
When he opened his phone, he saw that the message was from Su Bei. She said that she was already done preparing and is waiting for him in front of her house.
With that as the signal, Leng Shao already went out to enter his car, already driving towards Su Bei’s house to pick her up.
Leng Shao decided to have a simple date with Su Bei today—one that is light-hearted—one that is meant to lighten up the mood.
He decided that he would watch a movie with Su Bei. Afterwards, they would have lunch and then would have to take a walk in the park before they would have an evening dinner.
It is going to be a whole day date and he hopes that Su Bei would like it.
Su Bei was in front of her house. She wore a yellow sun dress and white wedged heels. She had her hair tied in a ponytail and she was wearing her blue cardigan jacket as she waited patiently for Leng Shao.
Su Bei looked at herself in her phone camera. She puckered her lips as she made sure her lip tint was even. She got powder from her sling bag and started powdering her face for a last-minute dab, making sure that her face looks great today.
A few minutes had passed and Leng Shao had already arrived in front of Ying Sheng’s house. The moment he stopped the car, he stepped out to open the passenger’s seat door, extending his hand to gesture Su Bei to come inside.
”Ms. Su,” he said, sounding formal, making Su Bei slightly giggle as she playfully rolled her eyes at him.
”Mr. Leng,” she replied formally as well as she walked towards the car, sitting on the seat before Leng Shao closed the door for her. Leng Shao started driving to the cinema so they could choose which movie they wanted to watch.
”Do you know what’s showing today?” Su Bei asked, Leng Shao, shaking his head to answer.
”No. I haven’t done any searches,” he said, Su Bei, getting her phone to browse the page of the cinema.
”Maybe I could search now along with the time so we could choose while we’re here in the car,” she suggested, Leng Shao, nodding as he agreed to her suggestion.
Su Bei was already in the cinema’s page. There were four movies showing specifically Jumanji: The Next Level, Charlie’s Angel, an old movie, Why Him?, and then one horror movie which is part of the Conjuring series.
Su Bei read aloud the four titles, making them talk which one to watch before their dinner.
”I haven’t watched the first Jumanji movie,” Leng Shao commented, Su Bei, nodding in agreement.
”Me neither,” she mumbled, but it was enough for Leng Shao to hear. “Charlie’s Angels seem nice… are you up for it?”
”Sure,” Leng Shao answered, “What is the next screen time?”
”After lunch time,” she said, Leng Shao, stopping the car as the traffic light lit red.
”How about the other movies? Would you like to consider?”
”Hmm…” Su Bei contemplated for a while, “I have already watched Why Him? And the Conjuring seems…”
”Ah…” Leng Shao chuckled, “You don’t want to watch horror movies?”
”Oh, no… please.” Su Bei laughed, “I don’t want to get stressed, you know? I would rather watch it when we watch it at home.”
”Oh!” A teasing smile appeared on Leng Shao’s face, “Are you implying that you want to watch horror movies when we’re at home together, hmm?”
Su Bei blinked her eyes a few times, not expecting what she said to Leng Shao. Seeing her shy expression, Leng Shao could not help but laugh out loud, making Su Bei pout her lips as she blushed slightly.
”I wasn’t implying anything…”
”Oh?” Leng Shao chuckled, “But you said ‘we’ so I assumed—”
”Oh, stop it, Leng-Leng.”
Leng Shao laughed out loud once more, even Su Bei found his laugh contagious. Both of them laughed as the drive going to the cinema happened, the atmosphere between them lighter as they felt like the issue before was slowly being forgotten.
Leng Shao parked his car. Afterwards, the two bought their tickets and since the screening of the movie will happen after lunch, the two of them decided to eat lunch before they go to the cinema.
”Anything that you like in mind?” Leng Shao asked, Su Bei, furrowing her brows as she wondered what to it.
”I don’t have anything specific in mind… but I do want to eat something unique,” she answered, Leng Shao’s eyes already wandering around the mall.
His eyes landed on Ramen Nagi, a Japanese restaurant serving Japanese ramen. Leng Shao then had a sudden thought of tasting Japanese ramen since it was also something he had not experienced tasting. He wonders if Su Bei had tasted Japanese ramen and if not, they could try it out together.
”Su Bei, have you tried eating Japanese ramen?”
When Leng Shao asked this question, Su Bei cocked her head to the side, realizing that she hadn’t.
”No. Hey, that’s actually a pretty good thing to experience. Have you tried Japanese ramen?”
A smile appeared on Leng Shao’s face, glad that he will have something for the first time with Su Bei even.
