Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Scumbag: First Relationship, No Experience

"D-Dating?"

Yan Luoxi looked at Gu Yizhou uncertainly, as if she had misheard him.

Her timid, incredulous expression left Gu Yizhou at a loss for whether to laugh or cry.

"Didn’t you just say you like me?"

Gu Yizhou looked at her with a wry smile and said, "What? Having second thoughts already?"

"I... I’m not having second thoughts."

Yan Luoxi blurted out instinctively.

She was still a bit dazed, unable to process what was happening.

"But... d-didn’t you just reject me?"

Yan Luoxi asked in a small voice.

"Huh?"

Her words made Gu Yizhou pause.

Then he realized what she meant.

He couldn’t help but laugh. "When did I reject you?"

"I just told you to eat first."

"Besides, who confesses at the dinner table?"

Gu Yizhou said, shaking his head.

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s explanation, Yan Luoxi’s face instantly flushed red.

Her eyes darted about, and she looked a little embarrassed.

’Yan Luoxi had never confessed to anyone before. How was she supposed to know any better!’

But in that moment, all her previous gloom vanished completely.

Seeing Yan Luoxi’s rosy, bashful expression, Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but think she looked rather cute like this.

"President Yan."

He called out to Yan Luoxi.

"Ah?"

Yan Luoxi looked up at Gu Yizhou. "W-What is it?"

"Open the car door and take a look."

Gu Yizhou gestured toward the car door.

’Huh?’

Yan Luoxi was confused. She couldn’t figure out what Gu Yizhou was up to.

Still, she obediently walked to the passenger side and pulled the door open.

The moment she opened the door,

Yan Luoxi froze.

The passenger seat, the door panel, the center console, the armrest compartment... every surface was covered in fresh flowers.

’This man...’

’When did he do all this?’

She covered her mouth lightly, turning to look back at Gu Yizhou in utter disbelief.

Gu Yizhou was watching her with a smile. He said softly, "A confession is something the guy should do, don’t you think?"

"President Yan, do you like the surprise?"

A flicker of delight flashed in Yan Luoxi’s eyes.

"Mhm."

She nodded vigorously.

"So... will you be my girlfriend?"

Gu Yizhou rubbed the tip of his nose, his gaze gentle as he spoke softly.

After hearing what Gu Yizhou said earlier, a faint sense of anticipation had already started to build in Yan Luoxi’s heart.

But when she heard Gu Yizhou actually say the words, Yan Luoxi couldn’t stop her nose from tingling, and her eyes instantly reddened.

Her feelings were a tangled, complicated mess.

She felt that all her efforts and expectations had not been in vain.

In that moment, she had an uncontrollable urge to cry.

"I... I will."

Yan Luoxi said, fighting back the urge to cry.

Her voice was choked with happy tears.

Hearing Yan Luoxi say yes,

a faint smile appeared on Gu Yizhou’s lips.

However!

He also felt a bit dazed.

’Starting today, I have a girlfriend?’

For some reason, it all felt a little surreal.

The two of them just stood there, face to face, looking at each other.

It seemed they had both forgotten what to do next.

It couldn’t be helped!

Both of them were complete novices when it came to romance.

Now that they were suddenly together, it was only natural that they didn’t know what to say or do.

Feeling a bit awkward and flustered was to be expected.

...

Two and a half seconds later,

Gu Yizhou finally broke the silence.

"Ahem."

He faked a cough, looked at Yan Luoxi, and said, "So, uh... should we... hug?"

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou’s words left Yan Luoxi a little dumbfounded.

The next second,

"Pfft."

She couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Her laugh left Gu Yizhou completely mesmerized.

In all this time, it was the first time he had ever seen such a radiant smile on Yan Luoxi’s face.

While he was still in a daze,

Yan Luoxi took the initiative and leaned into his arms.

The familiar scent of orchids drifted to his nose. Feeling her soft warmth in his arms, Gu Yizhou’s hands hovered awkwardly, unsure of where to put them.

"Hold me tight."

A voice, as faint as a whisper, reached his ears.

"Oh, right."

"First time dating, not much experience."

"Heh heh..."

Gu Yizhou chuckled awkwardly before finally lowering his hands and gently wrapping them around Yan Luoxi’s waist.

"Er..."

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s words, Yan Luoxi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Silly."

She murmured.

Gu Yizhou felt a little embarrassed but was too shy to say anything back.

Still.

’He was feeling something strange. So this is what it feels like to hold your girlfriend?’

’She smells so nice, and she’s so soft.’

’Perfect.’

He was ecstatic. The grin on his face, harder to suppress than the recoil of an AK, said it all.

...

At this moment, no one was around to disturb them.

The two held each other tightly in the parking garage.

Two and a half minutes later...

they still hadn’t let go.

After another two and a half minutes,

Yan Luoxi reluctantly pulled away from Gu Yizhou’s embrace.

Even though she had been enjoying Gu Yizhou’s arms,

it was a completely different feeling from when she was a cat.

However!

This was a public place, after all, and it wasn’t right for them to keep hugging like this.

Just as Yan Luoxi was thinking this, she realized Gu Yizhou was staring at her.

A blush instantly crept up her exquisite, coolly beautiful face.

"W-Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yan Luoxi lowered her head, not daring to meet Gu Yizhou’s gaze. She asked shyly in a small voice, "I-Is there something on my face?"

"No."

"I just wanted to get a good look at my girlfriend."

Gu Yizhou said in a perfectly serious tone.

Hearing the word "girlfriend," Yan Luoxi’s face turned an even deeper shade of red.

’That’s right!’

’This time, I really am this man’s girlfriend.’

It was only then that it truly sank in for Yan Luoxi.

Suddenly,

just like Gu Yizhou, she felt a sense of unreality.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

Seeing the once cool and capable "ice queen" president looking so adorably dazed, Gu Yizhou couldn’t help but think his new girlfriend was incredibly cute.

Just then,

the sound of a car approached from a distance.

Someone else must have entered the parking garage.

Gu Yizhou thought for a moment, then said, "Um... let’s get in the car first."

"Okay."

Yan Luoxi nodded.

Then, they both got into the car.

Surrounded by the flowers, Yan Luoxi felt a sudden sweetness blossom in her heart.

"President Yan?"

Gu Yizhou suddenly spoke up.

"Hm?"

Yan Luoxi turned to look at Gu Yizhou, her eyes asking, "What is it?"

"Ahem! So, uh... what should I call you from now on?"

Gu Yizhou asked after a moment’s hesitation.

"Huh?"

His question stumped Yan Luoxi as well.

...
