19 First Kiss? (2/2)

'Gu Yechen raised one eyebrow

”Why not?”'

'”Wouldn't that be considered an indirect kiss? Are you fine with that?” He Xinyan teased.'

'Before He Xinyan could even react

Gu Yechen suddenly leaned in with his eyes closed and his lips touched hers for a second before pulling away.'

'”It's okay now

” he said as he handed her the cone and walked away.'

'He Xinyan was left in shock and watched as the melting ice cream slid down the cone and onto her hand.'

'What. . . just. . . happened? He Xinyan shot her head around to see that Gu Yechen was already far away. That was her first kiss! Well. . . her first kiss since her rebirth!'

'Meanwhile

Gu Yechen's face was red like a tomato as he sped ahead. He bit his lips

which unconsciously turned up into a faint and soft smile.'

'That wasn't planned. He just suddenly had the urge to do it. . .'

'Would she get mad? Should he apologize? Gu Yechen's footsteps slowed down a bit and he heard the sound of someone running.'

'”Thanks for the ice cream

” He Xinyan exclaimed as she licked the melting vanilla ice cream. It was very sweet.'

'Gu Yechen stared at He Xinyan blankly before quickly walking up to her side. Would this be considered a success? Does this mean Xinyan is starting to like him too?'

'*helemon's note: Excuse me

CEO Gu. Your character build is supposed to be cold and cool. . . not cute and shameless!'

'He Xinyan finished the ice cream quickly and they actually began to shop. They walked around the second floor full of women's clothing shops and He Xinyan saw a baby pink dress displayed in the front of one of the stores.'

'”That looks cute!” She commented to break the silence.'

'”Oh

” Gu Yechen suddenly turned around and walked into that store. He Xinyan scratched her head in confusion before following Gu Yechen into the store.'

'”Thank you.”'

'”What are you doing?” He Xinyan asked Gu Yechen

who had just finished speaking with a worker in the shop.'

'”Didn't you say the dress was cute?”'

'He Xinyan nodded.'

'”So I'm buying it.” Gu Yechen responded coolly.'

'He Xinyan's mouth fell open and she was at a loss for words. She did say the dress was cute

but that was just a random comment. Does that mean she wanted it?'

'Gu Yechen walked over to the cash register and pulled out his wallet.'

'”The dress would be 3000 dollars.”'

'He Xinyan was surprised once more as she quickly pulled on Gu Yechen's elbow and whispered

”That pink dress is 3000! It's okay

Gu Yechen.”'

'Gu Yechen ignored He Xinyan and handed the cashier a black credit card

”But you said you liked it.”'

'”I. . .” He Xinyan's mouth twitched slightly as she stopped arguing. So this was what it was like to shop with the rich big boss. . . Looks like she shouldn't talk randomly from now on. It was very dangerous. . . Even though it wasn't her money!'

'He Xinyan shrugged and watched as the worker handed Gu Yechen a pink bag with the dress inside. She wasn't the one paying anyway

and Gu Yechen seemed happy to spend his abundance of money.'

'But He Xinyan was wrong. Gu Yechen wasn't happy to spend his abundance of money. . . he was happy to spend his money on her.'

'Gu Yechen and He Xinyan stepped out of the shop and as they were walking away

the worker helping them quickly pulled out her phone and snapped a photo of them.'

'When they were gone

the worker turned to her friend standing next to her and showed her the photo

”Did you not see? That person was He Xinyan! She was a hot topic on the news a few days ago!”'

'The other worker gasped in surprise

”Really? Then who was that handsome man next to her? Oh my god. . . was it Gu Yechen?!”'

'”Maybe. Ah! I'm going to share this on my social media

” the worker exclaimed as she immediately posted the picture.'

'Outside

He Xinyan still had no idea that she was a public figure and people recognized her now. She thought that the one picture of her side face wasn't enough for strangers to distinguish her yet

but she was wrong.'
