Chapter 616: I don’t kiss on the first date
When they were finally on their own in the car, Yue couldn’t help taking a long, deep breath. She would think she was dreaming if the scent of Linhou wasn’t so real. Even then, it still felt like something that would only be possible if a wizard were to stop by and swing a wand. Maybe that was what happened. Because although she had been happy most of her life, she hadn’t quite felt like this before.
She had no control of her hand that was pressed up against the window. It was almost as if she knew she would make a fool out of herself if she let go.
"Wait. Did that boy just give the policeman the slip?" She exclaimed, pointing out at the people she was watching.
Linhou let out a soft chuckle. "You finally get to spend time with me and all you care about is boys escaping the police?"
She rolled her eyes. "Maybe we should have remained friends. This dating thing has unlocked a side of you that I don’t recognize at all."
He knew she was joking so he pulled her closer to him. "Not a chance. It’s too late to change your mind; besides, we are a good match. Even you have to admit that."
She couldn’t deny it. For years, it had been obvious that they had a bond no one could quite understand. Not even themselves. People said twins could feel each other’s pain but that couldn’t come close to Linhou and Yue. They understood each other without words—of course, except when it came to relationship matters. Throw a random suitor into the mix; all they could see was their beloved being taken away.
Luckily, that wouldn’t happen anymore now that the air had been cleared.
"We are going to the restaurant for a meal, like every traditional date." He couldn’t hide the snort in his tone.
"That’s not where you would like to take me, is it?" She asked.
"Of course not. You know I would rather bring you along to cause mischief. You know, sneak into a private pool at night and go for a swim, rob a bank for the thrill of potentially getting caught, poke fun at an angry police officer and outrun him, swim with the sharks, that kind of thing."
