Chapter 339 - 240: Fingers Interlocked
This handsome guy, leveraging his captivating looks, never missed a shot at hitting on someone. With just one strike, his "fish pond" was filled with fish from all age groups.
Previously, he sent several private messages to Qi Ling on Guangxi, sharing his abs, selfies, and even lifestyle photos "accidentally" showing off a luxury car key, but received no reply.
He assumed that a big internet celebrity like Qi Ling couldn’t read all her private messages, so he didn’t mind. Now, encountering her in reality and seeing that Qi Ling was even more beautiful than online, he was instantly captivated.
In principle, if a girl says she has a boyfriend, you shouldn’t keep pestering her.
But upon seeing Qi Ling’s boyfriend, an average-looking guy dressed like a college student, the handsome guy’s desire for conquest was stirred, and he thought of stealing her away.
The handsome guy raised his phone, opened the camera, and smiled as he approached, "Come, let’s take a picture together, just a photo. I’ve been a fan of yours for a long time, just one picture."
Qi Ling shook her head and stepped back, "Sorry, it’s really not convenient."
The handsome guy, relentless, cornered Qi Ling and was about to put his arm around her shoulders, "Come on, it’s just a photo, don’t be shy. Look, your boyfriend isn’t saying anything, he surely doesn’t mind."
Just as Qi Ling felt troubled, she suddenly heard a "snap" sound. The hand reaching for her was slapped away.
The next moment, Qi Ling felt herself being embraced, warmth seeping through her clothes, a comforting soap scent lingering from the white shirt under her nose.
Qi Ling looked up and saw Su Mo’s sharply defined jawline.
Su Mo looked at the not-so-happy handsome guy and calmly said, "My girlfriend has clearly rejected you, please stop harassing her."
Suddenly embraced by this "piece of wood," Qi Ling felt a bit dumbfounded and didn’t react immediately.
Gradually, happiness melted in her eyes. She hugged Su Mo’s waist in return, resting her small face lightly on his warm chest.
The handsome guy, fed dog food on the spot and deflated, found his male pride somewhat hard to swallow.
He flung his hand, feigning indifference, and said disdainfully, "What are you pretending for? Aren’t you just pretty with some fans, do you really think you’re so precious? Looks like a lot of guys have slept with you, brother, you can take your time taking over."
In an instant, the handsome guy suddenly felt his vision go black, an immense force coming from both sides of his cheekbones, then a sense of overweight spread through his body, and he lost the sensation of the ground beneath him.
Su Mo held his cheek with one hand, lifting him into the air with one arm, his face expressionless, yet there was an indescribable oppressive force rushing toward him.
Having been a mercenary for so long, Su Mo had killed hundreds if not thousands. That murderous intent didn’t need to be deliberately unleashed, just a bit of seriousness was enough to terrify this playboy.
Su Mo’s gaze and tone were both very calm, yet precisely because of this calmness, that murderous aura seemed chilling: "Apologize."
The handsome guy, accustomed to luxury, hadn’t seen many real thugs. Encountering a great mercenary like Su Mo, he was instantly frightened out of his wits by the pressure.
With hands clasped together, he trembled and kept shaking, "I’m sorry... I’m sorry..."
Su Mo: "An apology should show some sincerity, right?"
After speaking, he threw the handsome guy to the ground.
The handsome guy couldn’t withstand the impact of hitting the ground, bending his knees and falling to his knees with a thud, much like paying homage to Buddha.
He was utterly terrified, shivering all over, and kept saying "I’m sorry."
Su Mo looked at Qi Ling in his arms, "Forgive him?"
Qi Ling tightened her hug on Su Mo, rubbing her face gently on his chest like a kitten, and said playfully, "I don’t mind such idle talk. Let him go, let’s not ruin our date."
Su Mo said to the handsome guy, "My girlfriend is beautiful and kind-hearted, you’re lucky. You can crawl away now."
With that, he gave the handsome guy a kick, and the latter slid along the smooth floor to the door, clumsily getting up, and fled in embarrassment.
This little interlude didn’t affect their mood; instead, the atmosphere became even livelier than before.
Su Mo really got into the mode, fully embodying the role of a boyfriend with his mercenary skills in full play.
Though he didn’t have much dating experience, his years in the Mercenary Realm dealing with people had made him very humorous and witty, with many topics that made Qi Ling laugh and giggle relentlessly.
The two sat side by side, chatting and eating desserts.
At this moment, Su Mo scrolled to a post on his feed.
It was posted by Qi Ling, featuring a photo they just took together.
The caption read: [Xiaoqi and Momo’s first date~]
Taking a photo with such a beautiful girl, Su Mo’s vanity got the better of him, so he also shared the photo on his feed.
In no time, many people left comments in the comment section.
"Mo Xue" Shangguan Li: [Hmm? So you have a girlfriend, huh?]
D: [No wonder you didn’t want that rich and beautiful girl I introduced to you last time, where did you hook up with such a pretty girl?!]
Evil shall eventually be purged: [Buddy, find some time to learn how to take photos; your expression looks like a wanted poster from the bureau]
Vodka without ice: [Bring your girlfriend over to my place sometime, introduce her to me]
The Old Man and the Sea: [Tank wants to know when you’ll be having the wedding wine]
Audiana (Casually chatting blacklist): [Not bad, I’m quite satisfied]
Qi Ling is a little monster: [Oh my, whose cute girl is this?]
Seeing the last comment, Su Mo burst out laughing, and Qi Ling leaned her head on his shoulder, both laughing together.
After finishing the dessert, they continued to stroll around the park.
Qi Ling walked ahead, her slender high heels clicking crisply on the ground, as if composing beautiful notes beneath her feet.
The weather was fine in the morning, with bright sunshine; the sun beamed on her, making her snow-white skin even more flawless, her silver long hair tied with a delicate butterfly hair tie, swaying with her steps.
Su Mo followed behind, secretly searching on his phone for what boyfriends and girlfriends should do on their first date.
Soon, countless answers came up telling him — go ahead and hold her hand.
This answer made Su Mo somewhat hesitant, unsure if it was appropriate.
At this moment, his gaze fixed.
He saw Qi Ling walking briskly, hands on her lower back, one little hand curling her four fingers, beckoning him non-stop, as if some kind of urging, some kind of call.
Looking at that beckoning little hand, Su Mo hesitated for a moment, then instinctively stretched out his hand and lightly placed it on hers.
Qi Ling’s fingers closed, gripping Su Mo’s hand tightly, holding it in hers.
The cotton candy-like soft sensation spread from his palm, Su Mo’s heart rate sped up for a moment, an indescribable excitement filling his whole body, and suddenly he felt a sweetness to the core.
He closed his fingers, clasping Qi Ling’s hand in return.
Qi Ling turned back, her eyes brimming with happiness, showing a joyful sweet smile.
Su Mo also smiled, jogging up to walk by her side, gently swinging their interlocked hands.
The two walked together, fingers intertwined, nestled within each other in the fairytale-like amusement park, sunlight spilling over them, making the most beautiful moment.
