Qi Ling found a staff member wearing a clumsy bear mascot suit and politely asked, "Hello, could you help us take a group photo?"

The clumsy bear took the phone and cheerfully said, "Of course, pretty little princess."

"Quick, quick, group photo." Qi Ling jogged over to Su Mo’s side, flashing a dazzling smile and making a heart gesture with one hand.

Su Mo had never taken a solo photo with a girl before, and stood there awkwardly, giving a thumbs up with one hand.

The clumsy bear held up the phone and sized them up for a moment before saying, "That’s too stiff, young man, why don’t you wrap your arm around her for the photo?"

"Huh?" Su Mo was dumbfounded, "That wouldn’t be right."

The clumsy bear asked puzzledly, "Hey, aren’t you guys a couple? Just regular friends?"

Before Su Mo could reply, Qi Ling proactively hugged his waist from the side, resting her face on his chest like a little kitty acting spoiled.

Su Mo instinctively stood up straight, looking towards the camera.

"Click."

The clumsy bear took the photo and handed the phone back, saying enviously, "Wow, you guys are such a match, be happy together forever!"

"Thank you~" Qi Ling took the phone and bid farewell to the clumsy bear.

"Let me take a look at how the photo turned out..." Qi Ling opened the album and was suddenly stunned.

Her lips pursed, her cheeks forming two small dimples, unable to resist resting her forehead on Su Mo’s arm, gently tapping his shoulder twice with her small fist.

"Ahahaha! Ahahahahaha!" She laughed uncontrollably, almost out of breath, "Mo Mo, are you posing for a mugshot?!"

In the photo, Qi Ling leaned sweetly against Su Mo’s embrace, her amber eyes smiled like crescent moons, shining like two brilliant gems in the morning light.

Su Mo, however, stood stiffly with a serious expression, as if he were just a prisoner away from having a uniform photoshopped onto him.

Su Mo chuckled sheepishly, "I’ve never been in a photo alone with a girl, got a bit stiff, hehe."

"No worries, no worries, quite cute~" Qi Ling cozily hooked her arm around Su Mo’s, "Let’s go, let’s roam the park!"

Qi Ling’s figure was tall and slender, not at all chubby, yet lacking that overly skinny frame; all her curves were in the right places.

Though not as ample as Nuobai, she was still more than enough, gently brushing against Su Mo as she clung to his arm, causing a cotton candy-like softness. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

This made Su Mo a bit embarrassed, his body tensing up, even his walking became stiff and synchronized.

Qi Ling chuckled at this, "Mo Mo, why are you walking like a robot?"

Not mentioning it was one thing, but saying it made Su Mo even more conscious, walking even more awkwardly, causing Qi Ling to laugh incessantly.

At this moment, the two passed by a snack stall.

Qi Ling trotted over, "I’m hungry, let me buy some snacks."

She came back with a packet of cookies, asking Su Mo, "Want some?"

Su Mo hadn’t had breakfast, too busy picking out clothes, he was a bit hungry as well, so he nodded, "Sure."

Qi Ling put a cookie stick in her mouth and then handed it over to Su Mo with her mouth, "Here, let me feed you~"

Seeing the cookie stick being offered with her mouth, Su Mo froze on the spot, "I, I, I, I’ll just eat another one."

"Come on~ eat it~" Qi Ling pouted, acting spoiled, "I haven’t bitten the other end, you can just bite that side."

Left with no choice, Su Mo saw the cookie stick was long enough not to risk touching Qi Ling’s lips, so he bit the other end.

"Crunch." Qi Ling suddenly bit down, breaking off the part in her mouth, then moved her lips forward, biting onto the new part.

Su Mo: "?! "

Qi Ling’s lips curled slightly, her smile mischievous like a little kitten.

"Crunch." She bit off another section in her mouth and continued moving her lips forward.

Su Mo: "??!! "

Qi Ling raised her hands, gently placing them on Su Mo’s chest, softly stroking upwards along his neck before cradling his face.

"Crunch." She bit off another section, edging closer along the cookie stick, her lips just a little way from Su Mo’s mouth.

Su Mo: "???!!! "

The two were so close, Su Mo could even catch the faint scent of Qi Ling’s lipstick, her hands feather-soft like a gentle breeze, radiating warmth that made his heart race.

"Crunch!" Su Mo hurried and bit off his section, turning away to chew frantically, like a hamster devouring food.

"Ahahaha! Ahahahahaha!" Qi Ling held onto Su Mo’s arm, laughing heartily, "Teasing you is just too much fun!"

Su Mo felt overwhelmed, desperately needing "backup" for help.

He pointed to a cake-shaped building nearby and said, "Let’s go sit in the dessert shop and have some drinks."

"Sure~" Qi Ling walked in with Su Mo.

Su Mo ordered a set menu, and the savvy staff gave them a double-ended couple’s straw and even poured a heart-shaped design in the milk tea foam.

As Qi Ling sipped her milk tea, Su Mo, who had been teased all the way, took out his phone again and opened the group chat.

Su Mo: [Young Master Chu, help!!!]

Chu Nanyi: [What’s up now]

Su Mo: [This girl is too slick, I’m about to be teased to death...]

Chu Nanyi: [Explain the teasing]

Su Mo: [For example, she insisted on feeding me the same cookie stick with her mouth]

KK: [Bro, even I can tell that’s a hint...]

Chu Nanyi: [A hint? More like a free pass! Just kiss her already]

Su Mo: [I wouldn’t dare that?!]

Dongdong: [I’m dying laughing, what a pure-hearted fool]

KK: [Bro, if you’d use even a fraction of the grit you had facing Crow’s Nest...]

Chu Nanyi: [Oh, I really can’t guide you like this... If it were me, I’d be in the hotel already]

Su Mo: [Stop reprimanding me, we’re eating dessert now, give some advice, something more suitable for me]

Chu Nanyi: [Stop wasting time in the group, chat with her, first dates should never have dull moments]
