Ye Cang arrived at the entrance of the shopping mall early.

After going home for a nap and changing into a stylish outfit, feeling comfortable, I finished my afternoon classes. Then, I ran over to this café to wait for Ai Mu to finish class.

There are very few students from the same school here because there is a shopping mall right across from the main entrance of the school, so not many people would come here on purpose to hang out. However, compared to that mall, even though this place is far, it is bustling with activity. The entire street is filled with food stalls in the evening, selling various snacks and desserts. The cinema shows the latest blockbuster films, and the screening times and seating availability are very spacious. It is definitely worth the effort to come all the way out here.

Ten minutes left until seven o'clock, Ye Cang walked out of the coffee shop and stood at a conspicuous spot by the roadside, looking around. A taxi slowly pulled over and stopped by the curb. Ai Mu paid the fare and got out of the car, softly thanking the driver before closing the door.

"Senior, you're very punctual~" Ye Cang immediately approached, startling Ai Mu.

Ai Mu carefully observed Ye Cang once again, unable to help but laugh, "You even specially went home to dress up!"

"That's right, I finally put on all the famous brands that my family has been collecting for thousands of years! I usually can't bear to wear them!" Ye Cang patted the clothes on his body. The delicate and soft material revealed its high price. "So, how do I look? Handsome, right?"

Ai Mu looked at him with a helpless yet amused expression. "What on earth are you doing? Is this your first date with your lover?"

Seeing that Ai Mu ignored him, Ye Cang did not give up and continued to strike up a conversation. "Senior, are you hungry? Should we eat first or watch a movie first?"

"Um..." Ai Mu hesitated, his gaze involuntarily drawn to the newly set up food stall in front of him. What is that?! Takoyaki! Completely ignoring Ye Cang's puzzled face behind him, Ai Mu sprinted towards the vendor, "Hello, are you ready now? I would like an order of takoyaki!"

"Sure, sure! Hold on for a moment, young man!" The vendor was a middle-aged auntie, her heart fluttering at the sight of Ai Mu's beautiful face.

"Mm!"

Just as Ye Cang caught up with Ai Mu, he was suddenly drawn in by Ai Mu's laughter.

I had never seen Ai Mu smile so brilliantly before. His two slender eyes curved into a line, revealing eight shiny white teeth, small and perfectly aligned like a child's teeth. Ye Cang silently noted that he must enjoy eating this. It truly is said that "food is the only beauty one cannot resist," Ye Cang thought to himself. It was unbelievable that the first time he saw Ai Mu so happy was because of a small meatball.

"Here you go, young man! This is for you!" Auntie handed the steaming hot dumpling to Ai Mu. "Your Chinese is really impressive!"

Smiling at Auntie, Ai Mu gently opened the box and skewered a squid meatball with a toothpick. After blowing on it, she put it into her mouth. Thick cheese oozed out, accompanied by a sauce that tasted somewhat strange but surprisingly harmonious with the squid flavor. A feeling of bliss suddenly emerged.

"Hey Ye Cang, do you want to eat this?" As they had developed a routine of being together with Jin Zhengxian, Ai Mu rolled up a small meatball and blew on it lightly before offering it directly to Ye Cang's mouth.

Ye Cang's face turned red all of a sudden. He looked at Ai Mu, who was completely absorbed in enjoying the food, oblivious to the intimate feeding gesture. A twinge of disappointment crossed his mind. It's not even that delicious, yet you look so satisfied.

Suddenly, a figure entered Ye Cang's line of sight, causing his body to instantly stiffen.

Feeling the unusual atmosphere around him, Ai Mu glanced up at Ye Cangqing. His face was pale, staring motionlessly in one direction. As Ai Mu followed his gaze, he was completely taken aback, completely ignoring the fact that what he was about to say next would be like rubbing salt in the wound.

"Ye Cang, is that girl that guy is hugging... your girlfriend?"

Realizing that she had said the wrong words, Ai Mu wished she could slap herself hard. Truly, when did she become so meddlesome?!

Ye Cang now felt like his soul had disappeared. His initial reaction was not heartache, but rather surprise.

Zhan Xier was the goddess of his own high school. In his eyes, the goddess had always been a sacred and pure existence, completely unrelated to the idea of cheating. But everything in front of him made Ye Cang feel like his worldview was crumbling.

As Ye Cang gradually regained consciousness, he began to calm down. He took out his phone and dialed Zhan Xier's number.

Zhan Xier, who was far away, did not notice the anomaly here. Nonchalantly picking up the phone, she made a "shh" gesture to the boy sitting next to her, signaling him to keep quiet.

"Hello? What happened to Yezhi?"

"Xiao Xi, where are you?" Ye Cang's voice was unusually calm, without any tremor.

"I'm eating near the school!"

"Do you eat alone?"

"Yeah! Who else can I find if it's not you? I can only be lonely by myself!" After saying that, she glanced at the boy beside her with a mocking expression and grinned.

Seeing this scene, Ye Cang really didn't want to say a word. He hung up the phone directly and turned off his mobile.

From a distance, Zhan Xier looked at the hung-up phone, shrugged, and had no idea what kind of nerve her superfluous boyfriend was acting up again.

"Let's go, let's go back," Ai Mu said, watching Ye Cang's indecisive expression.

"Sorry, senior... It happened so suddenly..." Ye Cang said with a wry smile, head lowered.
