"Why did you stop?" Gu Zhihan noticed that she suddenly stopped and was staring at someone else, so he couldn’t help but follow her gaze. When he saw what the young girl was looking at, he couldn’t resist curling his lips into a meaningful smile and asked, "You don’t want that, do you?"
"I..." Luo Mengmeng was about to deny it when she heard his teasing voice say, "If you want, I can reluctantly kiss you in public."
Luo Mengmeng’s face immediately turned red, and she yelled loudly, "I don’t want that!"
Her yell was so loud that the people on the street all turned to look at her.
Luo Mengmeng’s face turned even redder, and she quickly grabbed Gu Zhihan’s arm, "Let’s go, this is so embarrassing!"
Gu Zhihan’s face was always smiling as he pointed towards the milk tea shop ahead, "Your favorite milk tea shop, want to go?"
"Yes!" Luo Mengmeng didn’t hesitate and dragged him inside.
However, because it was Valentine’s Day, the milk tea shop had a "buy one get one free for couples" promotion, so the line was very long and was mainly composed of couples.
As long as they kissed in front of the cashier for one minute, they would be recognized as a couple and could get the second cup for free.
"Let’s kiss too!" Luo Mengmeng saw the opportunity and poked Gu Zhihan to get his agreement first.
"Okay." Gu Zhihan curved his lips, this was something he’d wanted all along.
When it was their turn, the server smiled and asked, "Are you a couple too?"
Luo Mengmeng immediately nodded.
The server gave them a meaningful look, and tentatively asked, "Minors?"
"Uh... yes..." Luo Mengmeng hadn’t expected her eyes to be so sharp, and awkwardly touched her nose before asking, "Minors can’t participate in this activity?"
"Yes..." the server said apologetically.
To echo the school’s call against early romance, their store couldn’t accept minors to participate in this activity.
"That’s discrimination!" Luo Mengmeng huffed angrily.
What’s wrong with being underage, aren’t underage people still people?
"Sorry..." the server shrugged helplessly.
Gu Zhihan gently touched her head and took her hand to walk in, "No worries, we’ll just buy at full price."
Luo Mengmeng could only suppress her annoyance and walked into the shop with him.
When Gu Zhihan came back with two cups of milk tea, he saw her frowning and sitting at their spot.
"Are you disappointed you didn’t get to kiss me?" he asked as he handed her the milk tea and looked down at her.
"Not at all!" Luo Mengmeng saw there were so many people around, and her face immediately turned red as he teased her, retorting fiercely, "I’m upset that we were discriminated against."
Why wouldn’t underage couples get a second cup for free?
"Don’t worry, in eight more months we will be adults." Gu Zhihan smiled, comforting the young girl to not mind the incident too much.
"Eight more months..." Luo Mengmeng repeated, "That’s too long."
Gu Zhihan looked at her meaningfully.
He had been waiting for that day for a long time.
Luo Mengmeng inexplicably felt that his gaze was strange...
After finishing their milk tea, Luo Mengmeng pulled Gu Zhihan to go shopping.
Winter nights come early, and soon it was dark, and neon lights lit up the streets while snowflakes fluttered and covered the rooftops and the ground.
The pure and vast northern landscape was all before them.
