When the four of us stepped out of Liang's house, Lu and Zhichen were staring at the red packets like little kids who had just received their pocket money. Liang and I were busy thinking about where to go next.
When we asked our boyfriends for suggestions, they simply shrugged and said, "You two decide."
Liang and I turned to look at them in unison. The moment their eyes met ours, they jolted upright like they'd seen a ghost.
We exchanged a mischievous glance and smirked. Without another word, we each grabbed our boyfriend's hand and marched straight to the shopping mall.
We dragged them through store after store, trying out clothes and accessories, while Lu and Zhichen obediently trailed behind us like tired assistants. After shopping, we headed to the amusement park and jumped onto every ride we could find.
By the third ride, Lu and Zhichen were completely drained. Dizzy and pale, they collapsed onto a nearby bench. Zhichen even curled up and fell asleep on Lu's lap, both of them looking like they had fought a war and lost.
Meanwhile, Liang and I went to buy ice cream for the four of us. We returned and handed it to them. Liang gently tapped Zhichen's arm and said, "You couldn't even handle the carousel. Come on, sit up and eat this."
While Lu was eating his ice cream, he glanced at me and asked, "Qin, can we meet my parents tomorrow? Are you okay with that?"
I was in the middle of taking a bite but nodded right away and replied, "Yes."
Suddenly, Lu scooped up a bit of ice cream and smeared it on my face. Laughing, we playfully teased each other. Liang watched us and shook her head before turning to look at Zhichen. The moment he felt her gaze, he quickly focused on his ice cream like his life depended on it.
Liang sighed and teased, "I know you're a shy guy, but this is next level. I swear our roles were reversed the day I bumped into you."
Zhichen looked up at her and said with a soft smile, "My wife, didn't you say you were my savior? That's why our roles changed." Then, he gently rested his head on her shoulder.
Liang stared at him in disbelief before chuckling and softly patting his head, completely giving in to his sweetness.
