Chapter 197: You can do whatever you want just because you like me
A fetus around 6 months old will show an instinct called the "grasping reflex."
If by chance, an ultrasound will show them holding the umbilical cord inside the uterus.
Even though this reflex disappears when babies are 6 to 12 months old, the human desire for touch never disappears.
Lin Wanzhou's little hand was held tightly.
She had only dreamed of herself holding the hand of the big boy Xu Cheng, walking with him through the streets and alleys, just like a real couple, letting other people's eyes linger on them.
But this was not a dream. The sticky feeling in her hands reminded her that all this was real.
The last time this happened...
It seems to go back many years.
Because of her parents' quarrel, the two of them staged a kidnapping scene and he dragged her around the streets.
It’s been almost five years!
Although she felt sweet, the girl was also a little scared. She was afraid of being seen by her acquaintances and classmates, and even more afraid of being seen by both sides' parents.
She couldn't imagine what kind of storm would break out if this scene was seen by each other's parents.
She wasn't mentally prepared to endure that, so she had to work hard to reduce the possibility of being discovered.
"Xu Cheng, we have to set a rule. You can't always do this in the future."
"How do you decide?"
"Set a time limit. I, I have to stick to it."
"Time limit... can I add more time?"
Although the girl didn't understand what extra time meant, she knew very well that once Xu Cheng said a word she didn't understand, she would just beat him up, which was definitely not a good thing.
She slapped his stiff arms a few times, then looked down at the white uppers of his shoes. She suddenly felt an irresistible urge, so she lifted her little white shoes and stepped on his instep, leaving a small footprint that belonged to her.
Xu Cheng's face instantly turned bitter.
"My A-cone! Didn't we agree not to step on shoes?"
The girl said confidently, "If I don't step on it, someone else will. What's wrong with it being my first time?"
Now that she knows Xu Cheng likes her, she is very powerful.
"In short, it has to be limited in time. It can only be for a short while every day. You are still a little boy, and we can't let you indulge yourself too much."
"…Then tell me how long it will take."
“Three minutes!”
"Who are you looking down on? Three minutes is enough for anyone!"
"Five minutes should be enough."
Xu Cheng thought that what he lacked was not just one or two minutes of effort, and if holding hands was calculated by minutes it would be too much like that.
"No, no, not even five minutes."
The girl didn't bargain with him and just made the deal.
"Five minutes is five minutes."
Seeing Xu Cheng was disappointed, she started feeding him cake again.
"Of course, if you do something that makes me happy, then I'll extend your period...but if you make me angry, I'll take it away from you!"
"You are quite clear about rewards and punishments. I like that."
The girl rolled her eyes at him.
She thought that she would be the head of the radio station in the future and she must have strong leadership skills.
Xu Cheng did not bargain with her. She said it was five minutes. In the past, he could pull it as long as he wanted, but he would always get a beating.
"But I want to hold your hand for a day today. You promised me before."
"How could I promise you that?"
"You agreed to it before."
The girl said stubbornly, "How can tacit consent be considered as consent? That's only because you are very strong. You forced me to do it. You held me captive!"
Her voice was quite loud, and many passers-by nearby heard it and rushed over to look.
Xu Cheng was so frightened that he quickly covered her mouth.
"What are you talking about? You can't even pronounce qian and jian clearly. How can you be a broadcaster?"
"Tui! Tui!"
Lin Wanzhou vomited twice.
"Why are your hands so salty again? It's so disgusting..."
"What nonsense! That's sweat."
Xu Cheng could not accept her slander at all.
The entrance to the mall was bustling with people. Some people were selling a bunch of balloons, all with cartoon designs, such as Doraemon, Ultraman, Pleasant Goat, Calabash Brothers...
Many children looked on with envy.
The girl also looked on eagerly, then put one hand on her waist and looked at the boy next to her in a domineering manner.
"Xu Cheng, buy me a balloon!"
The balloons were very cheap, and if she wanted, she could buy all of them herself, but she didn't want to buy them. She wanted Xu Cheng to buy them for her.
"You're not a child. You're going to buy clothes with balloons..."
"Hmph...I want it!"
The girl pouted and started to get angry. She swung their arms back and forth like they were swinging on a swing, and tried to pull her hands back from his.
Xu Cheng had no choice but to coax her like a child.
"Stop it, what pattern do you want?"
The girl immediately laughed, "I want Lazy Sheep's! Lazy Sheep is the cutest."
Xu Cheng took out money and bought a Lazy Sheep balloon. The girl took it happily and kissed Lazy Sheep on the face twice.
“How cute.”
Xu Cheng took a look and said, "I want it too."
The girl glared at him and pushed him, "Dream on, get out of here, you pighead..."
"What...I mean I want a Stitch balloon."
“No, no, no.”
The girl misunderstood his meaning and refused to apologize, dragging him away.
Because she was afraid that the balloon would fly away, she wrapped the red silk string of the balloon around their arms several times.
So many people can see a boy and girl who look like a young couple, walking together holding hands, dragging a balloon that looks like Lazy Sheep in the air between them.
"Hmm... Let me see, the women's clothing is on the third floor."
Xu Cheng glanced at the schematic diagram of the mall and pulled Lin Wanzhou to take the elevator, but she suddenly stopped.
"How about taking a look around the first floor?"
"The first floor is full of gold jewelry and furniture, and you don't buy those."
“You can’t go shopping if you don’t buy anything!”
“…”
Xu Cheng had no choice but to accompany her shopping.
People frequently visit places like shopping malls, but the first floor is the least visited place.
Lin Wanzhou was curious, and so was Xu Cheng. They were like robbers waiting in advance, peeking into each counter and carefully observing the golden ornaments inside.
"Xu Cheng, Xu Cheng, look at this, this little golden Ruyi is so pretty!"
The salesgirl at the counter came over immediately and said, "Beauty, you have good taste. This little Ruyi suits you very well. If you like it, I'll give it to you and let you try it on."
Lin Wanzhou waved his hands quickly.
"No need, sister. I won't buy it."
"It's okay if you don't buy it, just give it a try."
The female shopping guide knows a lot about this.
Such a beautiful girl, even if you don’t buy her today, you will need her one day.
She took out the key, opened the counter, took out the bracelet with a small gold Ruyi string, and helped Lin Wanzhou put it on her wrist.
The girl happily stretched out her wrist in front of the boy.
"Does it look good, Xu Cheng?"
Her wrists were beautiful to begin with, smooth as jade, slender and white, and adorned with gold jewellery, they looked elegant and enhanced the radiance of her skin.
Xu Cheng nodded, "It looks good. Do you want it? If you want it, I'll give it to you."
Lin Wanzhou rolled his eyes at him and patted his arm.
"You idiot! And you gave it to me? You have a lot of money, don't you? You bought something like this..."
"I can really give it to you."
"That's not the case. If you don't change your extravagant habits, you'll be fine if you can't afford milk powder for your child when you get married!"
The girl quickly took off the jewelry from her wrist, smiled embarrassedly, handed it back to the female salesperson, and then dragged him away by the arm.
"Really? From now on, you should give me all your money. You spend the little money you have recklessly..."
"Why? I've already given you half."
"That's what you should have given me. That's my share. In addition to that, you have to pay me... um... public grain!"
"... Let's talk about it later. Let's go over there and take a look first."
They went to the furniture section again.
Under normal circumstances, they probably wouldn't even come here, but today the two of them seemed to have entered a new world, looking at all the goods around them with curiosity.
"Xu Cheng, Xu Cheng, look at this bed, it's so soft!"
Lin Wanzhou sat down on the big bed excitedly. The bed bounced and her whole body bounced along with it. In Uncle Long's words, her whole body was bouncing like duangduang.
"It's very soft. What brand is this?"
Lin Wanzhou glanced at the brand secretly, then saw the price, and quickly moved his butt and stood up from the big bed.
"It's soft, but my mom said it's better to sleep on a hard bed...it's good for your waist!"
"How old are you? You're already concerned about your waist."
"A hard bed is good for growth, too."
Xu Cheng glanced at her sideways, and the girl also stared at him.
"I mean the development of bones."
"I didn't think of anything else!"
"Tsk, who knows if there is one?"
The two of them left here, and Lin Wanzhou looked at the beds here and became curious.
"Why do all these beds have a long strip of cloth here?"
“…Maybe because it looks good?”
"There's a small sofa at the end of the bed, but it's not the same height as the bed. Are you afraid that the quilt will fall off?"
"That should be it."
Xu Cheng doesn't understand these...
Finally we reached the third floor, where the entire floor was dedicated to women's clothing.
"What clothes should I buy?"
"How about this suspender? It will definitely look very cute with stockings."
"No, the suspenders will show your shoulder straps."
"Then... this puff sleeve ? It looks very lively with flesh-colored stockings."
Lin Wanzhou looked at him strangely.
"Do you guys have some kind of obsession with stockings?"
"Maybe it's because it was originally designed for men to wear, so now it's very attractive to men."
However, this time, considering that I would be wearing it on stage, the style of the clothes I chose was more mature, and I finally settled on a long skirt with diamond tassels.
"I'll try it."
Lin Wanzhou walked into the fitting room, and Xu Cheng took her hand and followed her in.
"W-What are you doing!?"
The girl looked at him embarrassedly, and the female shopping guide came over with a smile.
"The handsome guy and the beautiful girl are a couple, right? They have a really good relationship."
Xu Cheng let go of her hand and waited outside holding Lin Wanzhou's bag.
Not long after, the girl came out of the fitting room, like a different person. She had restrained her liveliness and exuded an elegant and gentle temperament. Many female customers in the store looked at her with envy.
Lin Wanzhou approached Xu Cheng cautiously like a bride trying on a wedding dress and turned a small circle in front of him.
She already knew how to use some of her feminine charm, and with every move she made, she gave Xu Cheng a look that was enough to captivate him to death.
"How about it?"
"She looks so pretty, like...a goddess!"
This skirt is a good choice, not fancy or ostentatious, and it is knee-length, not too short, yet has its own aura.
The black and white color scheme is classic and fashionable, and the special waist design makes it look simple yet not simplistic. There are rhinestones on the front of the belt and three black bows arranged horizontally and vertically on the back.
She is dignified yet lively, showing all the charm of a girl of her age.
Seeing Xu Cheng so dazzled, the girl looked at herself in the mirror happily.
"That's it."
She went back to the changing room to change her clothes. Xu Cheng ran to the cashier to pay, and the female shopping guide helped her pack her skirt.
"Oh, beautiful lady, your boyfriend has really good taste. Wearing this skirt with stockings on your legs will make you look just like a star."
Why do you have to pair it with that...
After Xu Cheng came back, the two prepared to leave with their bags. When they passed by a lingerie store, Lin Wanzhou suddenly asked Xu Cheng to wait, and then went in for a walk. When she came back, she had a small bag of things in her hands.
They dawdled all the way back, and finally let go of each other's hands a few hundred meters away from the entrance of the community.
Xu Cheng sent Lin Wanzhou all the way back to her home.
The girl went to the corridor carrying her bag. Just as Xu Cheng was about to say goodbye, she suddenly turned around.
"It's still early, I don't want to go home."
"Um?"
"Let's go to your house and play for a while..."
