Chapter 2841: Ordinary Romance

He tossed the dress to her: "Hurry up and change."

Li Mingxi threw the dress back into the closet: "I told you I’m not going."

Xiao Lang lifted her chin, moved closer, slightly curling his lips, their lips just 2 centimeters apart.

At this close distance, Li Mingxi could clearly feel his breath.

She awkwardly retreated a bit to break the intimate space.

Xiao Lang’s eyes shone darkly; he said huskily, "If you don’t go with me, and we stay home together, then all I want to do is... go for a walk, or stay home and exercise, you choose."

What a wicked man!

He actually threatened her!

And Li Mingxi was indeed threatened by him.

Having no choice, she had to change clothes, but she didn’t like long skirts because they covered her slender legs.

Xiao Lang said long skirts were pretty, and she’d definitely look beautiful wearing one.

He insisted she wear it, and Li Mingxi helplessly complied.

She also put on light makeup and slipped into high heels, heading out with casually dressed Xiao Lang.

...

They didn’t go very far, just strolled around the neighborhood.

The area around Li Mingxi’s neighborhood was very nice.

The roads were wide, with a free park, entertainment plaza, and so forth.

Xiao Lang held Li Mingxi’s hand as they walked in the plaza, just like many other strolling couples, warm and leisurely.

There were some street vendors in the plaza, and people carrying baskets selling little trinkets.

An old lady carrying a basket approached them, asking if they wanted to buy a Glowing Bracelet.

Just a plastic bracelet, but it sparkled with lights.

Xiao Lang cheerfully bought two, one for Li Mingxi’s wrist, and one for his own.

Holding hands with the bracelets, the glow from their wrists caught many people’s attention.

Soon, many other couples were buying the same bracelets.

For the first time, Li Mingxi felt this kind of simple, romantic gesture.

She raised their intertwined hands, curiously noting, "This thing is kind of nice."

"There are lots of fun things here, want to try them all?" Xiao Lang asked with a smile.

Li Mingxi was still mad at him, so she deliberately replied coldly, "No need, I’m not interested."

"Still mad at me?" Xiao Lang asked softly, looking down at her.

Li Mingxi pushed his face away: "Glad you know!"

Actually, she wasn’t mad about his over-the-top joke, but that he had worn her out all day, and now even walking made her back ache.

Especially her legs, which kept trembling.

"Then what will make you forgive me?" Xiao Lang leaned closer, asking earnestly.

"Stinky tofu, selling stinky tofu..."

Suddenly, Li Mingxi heard someone shouting,

Her eyes twinkled, she pointed at the stinky tofu stand and said, "Why don’t you go buy two portions of stinky tofu, I’ll go sit and rest over there and wait for you."

Xiao Lang’s expression stiffened for a moment.

He hated stinky tofu the most!

Li Mingxi contained her laughter and said, "Don’t you want me to forgive you? If you can’t even do this little thing, how can I forgive you?"

Xiao Lang knew she was teasing him on purpose, but he also wanted to make her happy.

Releasing her hand, he smiled charmingly: "Alright, I’ll go buy them, wait for me."

After speaking, he strode towards the stinky tofu stand.

He was so straightforward, but the real drama was yet to come.

Li Mingxi smugly smiled, walked to a long bench, and sat down to rest.
