Chapter 1230 - 1231: Things Couples Do
The two of them arrived at a hotel, ordered some delicious food, and chatted while eating.
They both talked about things happening at school. Song Xiaodong is now a university teacher, and when he talks about university matters, he naturally speaks with authority.
Qi Lanqin also relaxed more and more, chatting with Song Xiaodong about some interesting events at school, and it was clear that the atmosphere during the meal was quite pleasant.
"Lanqin, come on, let's see what movie we should watch." Song Xiaodong took out his phone, moved his seat next to Qi Lanqin's, and the two of them watched the phone shoulder to shoulder.
Qi Lanqin was completely at ease now, looking at the movies recently released, and said, "Big Brother Song, are you really going to the movies with me?"
Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I'm here to pursue you, so I must be sincere."
Happiness immediately spread across Qi Lanqin's face, and she said, "Then... I heard 'Wolf Warrior 2' is great, how about we watch that one?"
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "No problem, then we'll watch this one, oh, there's a 4D version, and it starts in an hour, let's go with this one."
"Okay." Qi Lanqin smiled, showing her teeth.
After settling the bill, the two of them left the hotel together. Song Xiaodong turned to look at Qi Lanqin, extended his left hand, and gently held Qi Lanqin's right hand.
Qi Lanqin paused in her steps, turned to glance at Song Xiaodong, then quickly lowered her head again, but she didn't withdraw her hand.
After walking a few more steps, Qi Lanqin's fingers slowly retracted and also wrapped around Song Xiaodong's hand in return.
Even though it was just holding hands, for Qi Lanqin, it was heart-pounding. She had held Song Xiaodong's hand before, but back then, she hadn't thought anything of it, seeing him more as a trustworthy support.
But now, holding hands held a completely different meaning. The two hands intertwined gave her an incredibly sweet and happy feeling, which surged to her heart and made her a little intoxicated, even making her heart beat faster.
Putting aside her identity as the Dragon Gate Princess, she was just a poor little girl, while Song Xiaodong was a top-level billionaire with assets exceeding billions, holding an unparalleled status in society. Someone like him pursuing her, taking her to dinner and a movie, the contrast in social status was undoubtedly a huge shock for a girl.
Moreover, she and Song Xiaodong already had that kind of engagement, so in her heart, she had no resistance to Song Xiaodong. Even if Song Xiaodong didn't do this, she would only be with him in the future.
What Song Xiaodong did moved her even more.
At first, when she held Song Xiaodong's hand back, Qi Lanqin was still nervous, but after a short while, she fully immersed herself in this sweetness, and her steps instantly became light and cheerful.
Soon they arrived at the cinema, collected their tickets, and Song Xiaodong bought some snacks and drinks for Qi Lanqin, and then they entered the theater together.
'Wolf Warrior 2' was indeed an extremely exciting movie. Qi Lanqin was very engrossed in watching, but for Song Xiaodong, some aspects of it seemed a bit unrealistic. But since it's a movie, it requires artistic treatment, so without expecting realism, it was still very entertaining.
During the tense scenes, Qi Lanqin couldn't help but grab Song Xiaodong's hand, and then their hands didn't separate again.
Two hours passed by in just a flash, and when the lights in the cinema came on, Qi Lanqin realized that the movie had ended.
Holding hands, the two walked out of the theater, and Song Xiaodong said with a smile, "Lanqin, I feel like it was a mistake to take you to such a good movie."
"Why? It was so good." Qi Lanqin looked at Song Xiaodong in confusion.
Song Xiaodong chuckled softly and said, "It's because it was so good that your attention was fully on the movie."
"Huh?" Qi Lanqin was still a bit confused.
"If we watched something boring, you wouldn't be so focused, right? Then we could maybe create a bit of a romantic atmosphere."
"Big Brother Song..." Qi Lanqin was immediately flustered, gently shook her hand, but still didn't manage to shake free from Song Xiaodong's hand, and pouted, "Big Brother Song, you're bad."
Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said, "We're in a relationship, as a man, naturally I should be a bit bad."
"Then... next time we'll watch whatever you choose." Qi Lanqin finished saying this and her head almost drooped to her chest.
Song Xiaodong looked at Qi Lanqin's shy appearance, really liking it in his heart, and said, "Lanqin, do you still want to go anywhere now?"
Qi Lanqin softly said, "I... I'll listen to Big Brother Song, wherever you say... I'll go."
Song Xiaodong leaned close to Qi Lanqin's ear and whispered, "What if I say I want to take you back to the hotel?"
Qi Lanqin's ears instantly turned red to the roots, but she bit her lip and said, "I'll still listen to Big Brother Song, anyway... anyway..."
"Anyway what?" Song Xiaodong looked at Qi Lanqin with a smile.
Qi Lanqin stomped her foot lightly, then raised her chin and pouted, "Anyway, Sister Kexin told me you can't do anything to me yet, even if we go out to stay, it's okay."
"Haha..." Song Xiaodong couldn't help but laugh loudly, holding Qi Lanqin's little hand tightly, and said, "Little Lanqin, you're becoming more and more adorable now."
Having said such things, Qi Lanqin was also quite relaxed and jokingly said, "I'm just speaking the truth, but we can have a chat or something."
Song Xiaodong nodded repeatedly and said, "Not bad, not bad, we could have a candlelight talk too."
"I'll listen to Big Brother Song." Qi Lanqin smiled sweetly.
"But..." Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "I still have to deal with a few unwelcome small thieves."
"Huh?" Qi Lanqin was stunned for a moment, glanced around, and then saw a few burly men walking quickly towards them, surrounding them directly.
Behind those people, Chu Yuanqing followed them, stepping at a steady pace, with a sullen face.
This startled Qi Lanqin greatly. She instinctively stood in front of Song Xiaodong and said to Chu Yuanqing, "Chu Yuanqing, what do you intend to do?"
Chu Yuanqing looked at Qi Lanqin, feeling even more upset, and said, "Qi Lanqin, you've got some nerve. I've been pursuing you so earnestly, and you just ignore me, yet you're protecting this guy?"
"Kid, are you a man? If you are, don't let a woman protect you." This sentence, Chu Yuanqing yelled at Song Xiaodong.
