Chapter 1804: Date
Chapter 1804: Date
This is the first time Su Zimo ever skipped class.
After leaving school with Xiao Zheng, the two of them drove around Paris for sightseeing.
They visited the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and also Notre-Dame Cathedral. They even imitated many of the visiting couples, walking hand in hand along the Seine River.
Su Zimo felt that today was the happiest day of her life!
Even though she had been to these places countless times, being with Xiao Zheng brought a strong sense of novelty.
"Maybe this is happiness."
Su Zimo looked at Xiao Zheng beside her, sweetly thinking in her heart.
After finishing their trip along the Seine River, they went to Chinatown. As soon as he arrived in this area, seeing all the black hair and yellow skin, Xiao Zheng inexplicably felt a sense of closeness.
Su Zimo brought him to a local famous Chinese restaurant.
Since it was mealtime, the restaurant was packed with people.
Fortunately, Su Zimo knew the owner, who specially arranged a table for them on the balcony on the second floor, where they could enjoy a full view of Chinatown’s night scene.
While eating delicious dishes, Su Zimo kept smiling foolishly.
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh and ask, "Why do you always smile foolishly? Are the dishes here not authentic, or is there a flower blooming on my face?"
"No, I’m just a bit too happy." Su Zimo said, "I originally thought it would be a long time before I saw you again. I didn’t expect you would come to Paris to find me in less than a week."
Xiao Zheng initially wanted to say he came to Paris by chance, but to not ruin the mood, he held his tongue: "Do you remember what I said to you when we parted in Jiangnan Province? I told you that we would meet again soon."
Upon hearing this, Su Zimo instantly showed a face full of sweetness and happiness.
As for her elder brother Su Ziwen, who was studying at the same university as her, she had long forgotten him completely. No wonder people often say that girls are outward-focused and can’t be kept at home; Su Zimo is a perfect example.
"By the way."
"How long will you be staying in Paris this time?"
Su Zimo suddenly asked.
Upon hearing her question, Xiao Zheng thought seriously for a moment and said, "I should be staying for about one or two days. Anyway, I won’t be here too long. Why, are you starting to miss me already?"
"Yes, I wish I could be with you every day." Su Zimo nodded, without hiding her true feelings.
The world thought she was aloof and didn’t like to talk to people.
But little did they know that when it came to love, she was more straightforward and candid than any other woman, which is one of the traits Xiao Zheng admires most about her.
"Unfortunately, there are still many things at home waiting for me to handle, so I can’t stay here too long." Xiao Zheng sighed, "But as long as I have time in the future, I’ll often fly to Paris to see you."
"Then it’s a deal, I’ll be waiting for you here." Su Zimo said with a cute and naive face.
"Always waiting? That’s not feasible." Xiao Zheng teased, "Are you planning to study here forever? Once you graduate and return home, we can see each other every day."
Su Zimo nodded, then said, "Honestly, until now, it feels like a dream. Before meeting you, my life seemed like a disaster. Thankfully I met you, or I might have gone to a place where no one is to end my life."
When she said this, her gaze suddenly dimmed.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "That’s all in the past; you don’t need to dwell on it. As long as I’m around, I won’t let anyone bully you."
"As a man, if I can’t protect my woman, I might as well commit suicide."
Upon hearing this, Su Zimo’s pretty face turned slightly red, as if she was drunk, "I know, so I have always been grateful to you. Including my father and brother, they feel the same way."
After hearing her words, Xiao Zheng pretended to be unhappy and said, "Didn’t I just tell you? Let past things remain in the past; don’t bring them up again."
Su Zimo obediently responded, then started chatting with him about her daily life at school.
It was just like reporting work to a leader, with details and trivial matters, including the fact that the international students in the next dorm secretly raised two cats, she told Xiao Zheng everything.
This was intentional on Su Zimo’s part; she wanted Xiao Zheng to know more about her.
Xiao Zheng was aware of this and quietly became a listener.
Thus, they spent over two hours eating, and only then did they reluctantly settle the bill and leave the restaurant. At this time, Chinatown was bustling, exactly like a night market back home, only more traditional.
"Where shall we go next?"
"Well, I don’t want to return to school tonight."
While walking on the street, Su Zimo suddenly said.
As soon as she finished speaking, her cheeks turned as red as ripe persimmons.
Xiao Zheng’s heart began to race, and for a moment, he felt thirsty: "Hmm, if you don’t want to stay at the school, we can go to a hotel. But let me say in advance, you are not allowed to take advantage of me tonight."
Upon hearing this, Su Zimo couldn’t help but laugh.
Because Xiao Zheng’s words reminded her of the scene when they first met.
Maybe it was because she had drunk two bottles of beer in the evening, Su Zimo made a funny face at him, then said with a red face, "What if I insist on taking advantage of you? Do you plan to call the police and say I’m harassing you?"
"Reporting to the police is surely unnecessary. If you insist on harassing me, if I can’t resist, I’ll just have to suffer silently." Xiao Zheng sighed, pretending to be aggrieved.
The cheap talking is precisely what describes him.
But Xiao Zheng is also a man of action. Since Su Zimo actively suggested not returning to school tonight, he naturally didn’t refuse. Immediately, he took out his phone, intending to book a hotel room along the Seine River.
However, as they walked, Xiao Zheng suddenly stopped.
"What’s wrong?"
Su Zimo turned to look at him, curiously asking.
Upon hearing, Xiao Zheng showed a smile, but it was unclear whether it was sarcastic or helpless: "We’ve been targeted, it’s really boring, no matter where I go, there’s always someone fearless showing up."
Upon hearing this, Su Zimo felt a bit tense.
But thinking about Xiao Zheng’s strength, she quickly calmed down again.
