Xiaoyu pulled her into her arms.
Miao Xiaoyu had been giggling ever since they left the restaurant. They were almost at the amusement park, and she was still laughing.
Miao Xiaoyu felt a bit dissatisfied hearing his voice. "Who's giggling?" She pouted.
Finally, she asked with a grin, "Why did you suddenly rush up and hit Auntie Wang just now?"
"You know why, don't ask!" He Li rolled his eyes.
Miao Xiaoyu refused to give up. She grabbed He Li's arm, swinging it back and forth, and continued to press him with a pout, "Tell me!" She stared straight at He Li with her beautiful eyes.
Seeing her like this, He Li simply stopped walking and reached out to cup her tender, rosy face… "Alright, I'll tell you now!"
He leaned in closer, and Miao Xiaoyu grew shy. Blushing, she instinctively wanted to shrink her neck, but since her face was cupped by He Li, she couldn't pull back. She was forced to shyly meet He Li's gaze.
And He Li said with a smile, "Because I can't stand seeing our Xiaoyu being bullied by outsiders!"
Hearing this, Miao Xiaoyu's heart raced. She was happy and touched, especially since He Li was staring straight at her, which made her heart overflow with affection and feel incredibly shy; she seemed afraid to look at He Li, her eyes darting around.
"You… you can just… just talk!" "Why are you… holding me like this…"
Her small hands grabbed He Li's hands, as if trying to pry them away, but He Li clearly felt she wasn't using any force. This little girl's thoughts were truly simple.
He Li chuckled to himself before letting go of Miao Xiaoyu. The latter breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly lowered her head to cover her face.
A scalding heat spread across her cheeks, yet Miao Xiaoyu felt sweet inside, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents. He Li glanced at her, smiled, and without saying anything, walked briskly forward.
Arriving at the amusement park entrance, the two calmed down, took out their special tickets, and successfully entered. The amusement park was quite large, with all sorts of facilities.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was still barely enough time! He Li took Miao Xiaoyu and played through almost every exciting and fun attraction here. Anyway, the special tickets allowed free play inside. He Li didn't hold back on the paid attractions either.
"I thought this girl would be scared while playing the exciting attractions and would hold onto me without letting go or something." "But it turns out she had even more fun than I did!"
He Li, temporarily tired from playing, sat on a chair and reflected on the situation, feeling somewhat emotional. Clearly, he was a bit disappointed that his little ulterior motives hadn't come to fruition.
"Forget it, let's go play something else later." "And today…" Looking at Miao Xiaoyu, who was queuing up nearby to buy him food and water, He Li turned his gaze toward a coin-operated arcade not far away where there weren't many people, and walked in quickly…
"He Li, the food here is so delicious!" Returning to the seats, Miao Xiaoyu had also bought something to eat. Her eyes lit up as she ate the grilled skewers from the amusement park.
He Li nodded: "It's not bad!" "Then you should eat more!" He said, using chopsticks to pick the meat off the skewers for Miao Xiaoyu.
Miao Xiaoyu ate happily, but He Li suddenly noticed a small bag placed on the other side of the girl. "What did you buy inside there?" "Hee hee, it's a secret!" Miao Xiaoyu giggled.
He Li stroked her little head and shook his head with a smile. "Alright, alright, I won't ask, just eat up!"
"After we finish, let's go boating over there. When the sun sets, we can watch the sunset on the water!" "This is something we planned a long time ago." "Don't wait until it's too late and there are no boats left!"
"Mm-hmm!" Upon hearing this, Miao Xiaoyu, like a little squirrel gnawing on corn, stuffed both her cheeks until they were bulging, not knowing how much meat she had shoved in. He Li looked at her adorable appearance and took out his phone to snap pictures.
If this were before, Miao Xiaoyu would have been somewhat shy and said a couple of harmless words, pretending to be angry. But now, she was just shy. She didn't stop him; instead, she made a peace sign.
Many passersby in the amusement park looked at the two's sweet appearance, showing expressions of envy and jealousy. They envied He Li for finding such a beautiful girlfriend as Miao Xiaoyu. They envied Miao Xiaoyu for finding such a handsome boyfriend as He Li! But at the same time, they were jealous that the two of them could like each other.
He Li and Miao Xiaoyu didn't pay them any mind. After finishing their meal, seeing that it was getting late, the two hurried to the boat rental area, rented a small boat, sat inside, and rowed toward the center of the artificial lake!
At this moment, it was already dusk! The sky was filled with red clouds, and the sunset was coming to an end. On the surrounding water, many couples renting boats were taking beautiful couple photos against the backdrop of the sunset. Some even took the opportunity to confess their love in public.
Watching the situation around them, listening to the occasional sentences of confession from men and women who hadn't yet become couples, He Li and Miao Xiaoyu seemed to have a telepathic connection as they simultaneously looked up at each other…
"Xiaoyu…" "He Li…" As soon as they spoke, both of them blushed a little. "You go first!" He Li scratched his head. Miao Xiaoyu nodded shyly.
She turned to the side, picked up that small bag from beside her, and opened it… "He Li, this… is a gift for you!" As she spoke, the bag was fully opened, revealing a beautiful box containing a handheld computer.
He Li took it, happy but not surprised. He was happy because he really liked this item. After all, it was much more convenient than the phone he was using. He remembered mentioning it casually to Miao Xiaoyu, but he hadn't expected her to remember it clearly and actually buy it.
He wasn't surprised because he had already vaguely guessed it. He just hadn't guessed exactly what Miao Xiaoyu wanted to give him. This handheld computer seemed to be the latest model; did the amusement park have it? Probably not, right? When did she buy it? And how did she bring it here? He Li was suspicious. Could this girl have used connections to have someone deliver it?
Forget it, that wasn't important. He Li pushed those trivial matters aside, looked up at the smiling Miao Xiaoyu, and stroked her little head: "Thank you, I really like it, but why did you suddenly think of giving me a gift?"
Upon hearing this, Miao Xiaoyu's face turned bright red. "I… I… He Li…" "That… I… can I…" "Can I be… your girlfriend?" She bit her lip, as if gathering all her courage, stammering out those words filled with nervousness and trepidation, her beautiful eyes fixed tightly on He Li, awaiting his answer.
He Li didn't answer immediately upon hearing this, but instead took a small plush toy out of his pocket. It was a little tiger, palm-sized. It was won from a claw machine. Although cheap, it was a win because Miao Xiaoyu liked it very much. Miao Xiaoyu had tried to grab it before, but unfortunately, she didn't succeed. Seeing this little thing again now, she was indeed filled with joy.
He Li placed the little toy in her hand, then reached out and pulled Miao Xiaoyu—who had taken the toy, her heart racing as she seemed to have vaguely guessed the answer, causing her face to turn bright red with excitement—into his arms, leaning close to her ear… "Not only can you, but I also want you to become official, marry you, and have you stay by my side forever!"
"Then… then is it a deal?" Miao Xiaoyu said shyly, holding He Li with her small hands. He Li responded with a smile: "It's a deal!"
As they spoke, He Li released Miao Xiaoyu, took out the handheld computer she had bought for him, activated it, and pulled her little hand to stand up: "What do you say we take a couple's photo on such a great occasion?"
"Okay!" Miao Xiaoyu nodded happily. She leaned shyly against He Li's shoulder, one hand around his waist and the other making a peace sign, wearing a bright smile as she waited for He Li to press the shutter, but He Li gave a slightly mischievous smile and made a gesture, pretending to pose. Then… *smooch*!
"Hmm?" Feeling the moisture on her cheek, Miao Xiaoyu's heart was in chaos, and she was just about to look up at He Li in surprise, but He Li had already pressed the shutter, capturing that sweet moment just now…
