Chapter 69: The First Official Date, A Second Kiss in Public
🕑 Added 2025-04-27 08:00:06 +0000 UTCAfter changing into her outfit, Elysia stood in front of the mirror to admire herself.
"Hmph, as expected of me. I’ve always been this beautiful."
Looking at the stunning figure in the mirror, Elysia couldn’t help but touch her own lovely face.
She had already fallen in love with herself.
Knock knock knock!
"Elysia, are you there?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Elysia knew that person had arrived.
With light steps, she walked to the door and opened it.
Chang Yuan, who had been about to greet her, was left speechless when he saw Elysia’s appearance.
The pink elf’s pure white attire, adding flawless beauty to her already stunning presence, was like the brightest star in the galaxy—beautiful and yet so close.
Seeing Chang Yuan’s dumbfounded expression, Elysia couldn’t help but smile.
Just as she had guessed, Chang Yuan would be stunned by her appearance.
"Hmm~? So, were you surprised by my outfit? It’s okay, you can say it. I don’t mind. Or you can praise me more."
"......I can’t describe it. Any beautiful word would feel inadequate in front of you right now."
Chang Yuan opened his mouth but found no words to describe the beauty before him. In his heart, no words could capture her radiance.
"Oh my, Chang Yuan, you’re so good with words. I’m very happy. So, today’s date starts now, okay?"
Elysia extended her hand, tilting her head cutely and blinking at Chang Yuan.
Without hesitation, Chang Yuan interlocked his fingers with hers, holding her hand tightly.
Today, unless something major happened, no one would disturb them.
"Chang Yuan, where are we going first?"
"Ah, well, I don’t know."
In the past, they had never made plans when going out. They would just wander wherever they felt like.
This had led Chang Yuan to develop a habit of not making plans when going out.
But now, this habit seemed to have landed him in a bit of trouble.
He glanced at Elysia, worried that she might be upset.
But all he saw was her gentle smile, still lingering on her lips.
"It’s okay. If there’s no plan, we’ll just take it step by step. As long as I’m with you, that’s the ultimate plan. The process doesn’t matter."
"......"
She’s really... I’m moved.
Hearing such considerate words, Chang Yuan could only sigh.
Such a perfect girl could only exist in the world of fiction, forever separated from reality.
If this were real life, inviting a girl out without a plan would result in seven out of ten girls scolding you, and the remaining three would have some special reason not to.
"I heard that amusement parks are the best places for couples to go on dates. Should we go there?"
After racking his brain, Chang Yuan could only think of this as a suitable place for a date.
He had learned this from novels and TV dramas, though he wasn’t sure how accurate it was compared to reality.
"Sure, anywhere is fine as long as I’m with you."
Elysia slightly loosened her grip on Chang Yuan’s hand and instead hooked her arm around his, holding it close.
This was a more intimate gesture than their usual hand-holding.
After a brief moment of surprise, Chang Yuan quickly regained his composure. After all, compared to the intimacy of kissing, this was just a small thing.
They hailed a taxi, as they were on vacation and shouldn’t use MOTH’s public resources.
Otherwise, they’d be no different from those politicians who abused their power for personal gain.
Arriving at the best amusement park in the city, they headed to the ticket counter.
"For couples, the second ticket is half price. Are you two a couple?"
The ticket seller was a middle-aged woman, her eyes filled with a hint of maternal warmth as she looked at the two.
In the young man, she saw a bit of nervousness—a sign of young love. So, she didn’t mind helping them out.
"Y-yes, we are."
"Really? Don’t think just because I’m older that I’m easy to fool. Unless you kiss, I won’t believe it."
The middle-aged woman gave them a scrutinizing look.
Hearing this, Chang Yuan and Elysia glanced at each other, both blushing slightly.
In private, it was one thing, but in public, with not only the ticket seller but also the people behind them in line watching, it was another matter entirely.
"Maybe we should just buy two tickets?"
Chang Yuan, feeling the heat of so many eyes on him, was flustered. The thought of so many people watching him kiss Elysia was too much for his innocent heart to handle.
Holding hands and linking arms in public was already the limit of what he could accept, but now this?
However, unlike the hesitant Chang Yuan, Elysia wasn’t like him.
After all, she was someone who lived authentically, pure and flawless.
So, Elysia had more courage than Chang Yuan.
Turning around, she stood on her tiptoes, grabbed Chang Yuan’s collar, and pulled him down for a kiss.
Clap clap clap!
At that moment, everyone watching, including the middle-aged woman at the ticket counter, burst into applause.
"Ahem, ma’am, is that enough?"
After Elysia let go, Chang Yuan quickly pulled out his wallet and their IDs to buy the tickets.
He wanted to leave this awkward situation as soon as possible. After all, while he wasn’t socially awkward, he wasn’t exactly a social butterfly either.
What had just happened was already pushing the limits of his shyness.
The IDs had been legally obtained a long time ago, thanks to Vill-V’s help.
Interestingly, Chang Yuan’s ID showed he was four years older than Elysia, and both their birthdays were on November 11th. It was unclear if Dr. V had done this on purpose.
Seeing this, the middle-aged woman didn’t push further and quickly processed their tickets.
"Have fun, you two."
After handing them the tickets, the woman wished them well.
The two nodded politely and quickly slipped into the amusement park.
"Whew, being stared at by so many people was really embarrassing."
Once inside, with fewer eyes on them, Elysia let out a sigh of relief.
"Are you sure? Do you really get embarrassed?"
"Of course! Even I feel shy sometimes."
Elysia rolled her eyes at Chang Yuan, pouting in dissatisfaction.
