Chapter 353: Date

"I never thought that we would encounter problems like this even before the competition started," Chu Nan mumbled.

Lyca and Shen Qui snorted almost at the same time. "This is just the start," Lyca uttered. Will Long Yi really stop because of a minor mishap? The least that he could do is just blame someone else for this mistake and move on. He would surely plan something else.

After the incident, Lyca and Shen Qui were soon transferred to a different room. In the same building. Just like the previous one, this room had an adjoining room for their suitcases. After moving, they immediately checked for some bugged and were able to rest after making sure that there were no cameras or recorder in the room.

Not long after they sat down in their new room, the committee once again summoned them. This time, it will be a private meeting and Shen Qui would talk to the committee without the leaders of the other companies.

Surprisingly, Lyca actually came with him this time. Dressed in her signature all-black clothes, Lyca didn't tie her white hair and just let it down. She also put on dark eyeliner, accentuating her dark and long lashes. Lastly, she used scarlet red lipstick with a red lip liner for her lips.

Shen Qui's face instantly turned dark when she saw her walk out of the door. "Why are you dressed like that?"

"Huh?" She looked at her black leather jacket and equally black jeans. "I don't have any other clothes." She didn't bring any other outfits because she thought choosing what outfit to wear would take a lot of time. So, she brought black leather jackets, white and black tank tops, and black jeans.

"Why did you put some makeup on?"

"Oh?" She lifted an eyebrow. "Do I look too pretty?"

He pursed his lips in response. "Don't you have some nude lipstick? Don't let your hair down like that. Let me braid it."

"Do you think red… doesn't suit me?"

He didn't answer her. Instead, he approached Lyca and grabbed a comb somewhere so he could braid her hair. "Next time… call me. I will braid it every time. Don't let your hair down like this."

"Why?"

"Having long wavy hair is bad for your health."

"Huh? I haven't heard of that before."

"That's the new study."

"Really?'

He nodded as if his life depended on it. He quickly braided her hair, then examined her again. "Is that an eyeliner?"

"I was trying to look edgy." She grumbled when she noticed his frown.

"Hm," Shen Qui nodded. "Don't use red lipstick again."

"But why?"

He didn't answer her. Instead, he pulled her closer and leaned towards her ears. "It will be hard for me to kiss you."

"…" Really? For some reason, she actually thought he would say that she is too pretty and he couldn't bear to let other people watch her. It seems that the new drama she is watching is wrong after all. Maybe the cold and domineering CEOs are the only ones who will say those lines?

"Do you understand?"

"Huh? Understand." She nodded. "Yes. Totally understand." So he loves to kiss her. That should be something that would make her happy. "So… you won't kiss me now?" she asked.

"No."

"…" Was this some sort of punishment for being too pretty?

"Let's go?" He held her hand, and the two calmly strode out of their room. They continued holding each other's hands as they walked out of the building. "We're walking to the committee's building." Shen Qui told the person that was sent to drive for them.

This university is actually big that one needed to ride a car or bike if one wanted to reach the next building. Because of this, the committee sent a car and a driver to fetch Shen Qui and Lyca. "But sir, I was asked to guide you to the building. Moreover, walking would take about twenty minutes. This meeting— "

"Ah… then you can go ahead and drive the car while we walk." Shen Qui said. Before the man could answer, Shen Qui already added, "The weather is too good to be wasted. My wife is too beautiful for me to hide her inside the small car."

"…" The driver could only smile wryly as he watched the couple walk away from him.

"So… it's alright if other people see me like this?" Lyca couldn't help but ask. Is this man really willing to share her with the world? How annoying!

"No." He looked at her. "Isn't that why I braided your hair? Right now… you are about seven out of ten."

Surprise flash in her eyes. "Really? Then what about earlier?"

"Eleven."

"…" She beamed. "Silly."

He responded with a boyish grin. "You can tell me if you are tired or get lazy. I can carry you in my back."

"Hey… " She squinted. "Did you deliberately make me walk because you know I won't walk all the way to the building?" She was wearing her signature black boots. While it was only about three inches, she still felt that walking for about twenty minutes is going to consume a lot of her energy, ah.

"Of course. If I don't carry the beauty in my arms, then I am not the beauty's husband!"

"Ew!" Lyca giggled.

The two slowly walked towards the building while the car was slowly following them. Watching the two laughed and talk like this made the driver envious. He couldn't stop himself and smile as he thought of his younger years.

Ah… younger people are truly blessed. They could still act like they are on the date, even though the whole committee is already waiting for them.

However, this carefree relationship could actually make anyone envious. Couples usually succumb to a stressful situation and ended up fighting. However… these two actually ended up dressing up and walking around like they were on a date.

This relationship could make anyone jealous, ah.
