Once Chi Qingchi was sure she was completely safe,
she wanted to break into a happy smile.
But then she remembered that Little Lin was still watching from not far away.
She quickly suppressed her smile and hurried over.
“Little Lin, I was just…”
Chi Qingchi’s mind raced as she tried to come up with a plausible explanation.
However,
no matter how she put it, nothing sounded quite right.
How else could she explain wandering around among the crowd as if she were looking for someone?
Lin Yu waved his hand, indicating that Chi Qingchi didn’t need to make excuses.
He said calmly,
“Even if you hadn’t gone to check, I would have done it beforehand.”
“If someone we know happened to see us, you’d definitely avoid me from then on!”
“Compared with showing off my new girlfriend in front of other people…”
“Keeping you safely by my side is more important.”
“Slow and steady wins the race. We have plenty of time.”
Lin Yu’s words made Chi Qingchi draw a deep breath.
She never would have imagined that—
to preserve their relationship, Little Lin would be willing to go this far.
Besides, there was no one else around them right now.
At least during today’s event,
she had to treat her new boyfriend properly!
After reading so many girls’ comics,
Chi Qingchi had fantasized countless times about all sorts of romantic scenarios.
If she ever got a boyfriend, what kind of dates would they go on together?
Now, her fantasies had become reality.
On the very day they officially became a couple,
their first date was going out to enjoy delicious food.
And they were attending the event she had been looking forward to most, which left Chi Qingchi especially excited.
“Little Lin, why don’t we take a commemorative photo together?”
Chi Qingchi pointed toward the place with the largest crowd and spoke to Lin Yu.
After all, this was an event for couples.
To create a romantic atmosphere,
the shop hosting it had set up a backdrop for couples to take photos at the entrance.
The equipment was very simple: a Polaroid camera.
Every couple could come over and take a picture, then take the photo home with them immediately.
There wasn’t much she could do for her new boyfriend.
At the very least,
she could preserve a little beautiful memory before the couples’ event officially began.
“You really want to take a photo?”
“Think carefully. This would be the most direct evidence.”
“If the others at the apartment happened to see it…”
“Heh heh, you’d be in serious trouble!”
Chi Qingchi held tightly onto Lin Yu’s arm, completely unafraid.
She even said with absolute confidence,
“Don’t worry. I’m an expert at hiding things!”
“Whenever I put my mind to hiding something, Big Sis can never find it!”
Lin Yu: “…”
There was no way Lin Yu could believe that—not even for a second.
He couldn’t help asking,
“What about that risqué manga last time?”
Chi Qingchi’s little face flushed red. “…”
Once again, she recalled what had happened in her room back then…
It was Little Lin who had guided her to a more suitable place to hide the book.
In her eagerness to brag just now, Chi Qingchi had momentarily forgotten about that embarrassing incident.
“Last time… was just an accident!”
“This time, there’s no way I’ll mess up.”
“I’ve already thought of an even better hiding place.”
“They definitely won’t find it. You have to believe me, Little Lin!”
As if he would!
If he actually handed her the photo, it would be a huge liability.
He still needed to keep his fate in his own hands.
How could he entrust such crucial “evidence” to Little Chi?
Lin Yu took Little Chi’s hand instead and said,
“It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that the organizers are only giving each couple one photo.”
“Since this is such an important memory, I’d better be the one to keep it!”
