"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long!" Ding Zhengnan ran over, panting, with a cute flush on her face.
The amusement park is naturally open most of the time during the Spring Festival, and today is a sunny day, perfect for going out and having fun.
Of course, it is already working hours on a Tuesday, so there aren't too many people in the amusement park.
Jiang Yizhou looked at the girl's outfit; her warm yet non-bulky clothing showcased her figure, giving off a vibe of prioritizing style over warmth. At that moment, Jiang Yizhou suddenly wondered if he was good enough for the girl in front of him, considering his current and potential future achievements.
He naturally believed that love knows no class distinctions, species (cross-species is another matter), skin color, or gender. Although he was reluctant to include the last one, it is undeniably a trend for the future.
However, if there are ways to facilitate a smooth relationship between men and women, why not take them? It’s like having the ability to gain the girl's approval but choosing to test her instead...
Especially since they had already become lovers; one should not force their disadvantages onto the other.
There is nothing wrong with matching social statuses; love is not something unique. Everyone tends to have preferences based on their experiences with partners in life and assigns corresponding weights based on how deeply they feel. Generally speaking, first loves undoubtedly carry a high weight, while mere fondness does not.
Analyzing this in detail, love is actually one of the most important choices a person can make after considering various life conditions, excluding impulsive flings.
Has Ding Zhengnan ever had feelings for others? Undoubtedly yes; everyone has had feelings for many people. However, it seems that only he could elevate those feelings into love.
Initially, people regard simple curiosity and affection as standards for love. Gradually, as they recognize life's complexities and hardships, desires grow more numerous, and perceptions change. They begin to weigh factors such as the other person's abilities, education, salary, personality—many things become considerations...
True love is not about being a perfect match without any obstacles but rather about facing various challenges together and enduring hardships before finally connecting deeply.
Yet it is still quite difficult; everyone desires a fairytale-like romance. Jiang Yizhou suddenly felt that achieving something was necessary too—at least he didn't want to be troubled by this aspect.
"Let's go! I've already bought the tickets. What rides do you want to try?"
In just a short time of wandering thoughts, Jiang Yizhou returned to reality and naturally took his girlfriend's hand, doing what a boyfriend should do according to the image in his mind.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yizhou was completely led by "I want to play this, I want to play that..." He probably belonged to the type of guy who deserved to be single.
"Yi Zhou, wait..."
Jiang Yizhou sighed, "You can't still want to play, can you? It's almost dark!" The fate of being single was not just a coincidence.
Because his previous chat with the psychologist had made him feel relaxed, he didn't go home to enjoy that feeling but instead called Ding Zhengnan to fulfill their date.
Ding Zhengnan stomped his foot, staring at Jiang Yizhou's tired and impatient face, and explained, "What are you talking about? Am I really that inconsiderate? How about we find a place to have dinner?"
"Alright then, I'm a bit hungry too. Do you have any favorite places?" Jiang Yizhou didn't object; he was indeed feeling a bit hungry.
The two then went to a Western restaurant where soft music played. The music came from a phonograph; at least Jiang Yizhou had never been to such a place before. The most he had experienced were cafes that provided outlets and Wi-Fi.
"Ding Zhengnan, isn't this place a bit too fancy? I don't even know how to..." Jiang Yizhou whispered with his hand covering his mouth near Ding Zhengnan's ear.
He had never had the motivation to learn how to use a knife and fork properly. As a foodie who valued quantity over quality, Jiang Yizhou had little interest in dishes that seemed more about style than substance.
"Yi Zhou, I'll teach you! Don't worry, it's very simple; you'll learn in no time!" Ding Zhengnan expertly led the waiter to a table for two and flipped through the menu, ordering a bunch of dishes with names Jiang Yizhou didn't understand.
Jiang Yizhou was just a bit resistant; he didn't feel like there were any qualifications needed for this place. As long as one dressed appropriately and could afford it, in fact, Western food was just like anything else—just smaller portions. That was how he felt.
Ding Zhengnan's heart raced; this was her first time inviting Jiang Yizhou to such a place. Unfortunately, it was winter, and thick clothing covered her figure.
"Hold this in your left hand and that in your right hand, like this. Cut it open and dip it a little; that's all you need to do!"
Two people, one teaching and the other learning, this is not a formal banquet; it's merely about some dining etiquette and how to use cutlery. A person with normal comprehension skills can learn it quickly. The only thing that stands out is that the atmosphere here is a bit too intimate.
For Jiang Yizhou, all of this feels a bit overly enthusiastic. He thinks to himself that perhaps he should just accept it as a matter of course.
He raises his glass to the girl, mimicking her actions, sipping the wine. Aside from recognizing that it is wine, Jiang Yizhou has no other comments. He realizes that his past life was too simple and casual, making him somewhat unaccustomed to this slightly formal setting.
Ding Zhengnan originally hoped to create a warm and ambiguous atmosphere, but unfortunately, Jiang Yizhou, whether in this life or the last, is rather blunt and lacks a sense of humor. This makes things feel a bit awkward. Only after Jiang Yizhou becomes familiar with this kind of situation and stops worrying about making mistakes will he likely be able to sense the girl's feelings.
"Hmm? Ding Zhengnan, you actually came back?" Lu Yan expresses some disappointment in her daughter. Based on her own experiences, she has no good attitude towards Jiang Yizhou.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I just didn’t come back for dinner; I didn’t say I wouldn’t come back at all!" Ding Zhengnan approaches and hugs her mother sitting on the sofa, acting coyly. "Where's Dad?"
She looks around but doesn't see her father's figure.
Lu Yan glances at her daughter and can only sigh. "You need to be careful; girls should have self-respect. If you lose him, you might not get married again. Your dad has something to do and won't be back tonight."
Ding Zhengnan immediately understands. She knows about her father's affairs; although it's just for fun, as a woman herself, she naturally stands by her mother's side. However, since her mother can only pretend not to see it, she doesn't say much either.
