Gu Chenan pulled Hoshino Kannon into the car and started the engine.
The car slowly drove out of the manor.
Not long after, Gu Chenan asked, "So, what are we going to do?"
"Huh?" Hoshino Kannon took off her high heels, put her white and delicate feet clad in gray over-the-knee socks up on the windshield, tilted her head to look at Gu Chenan in surprise and said, "Haven't you ever been on a date with someone before?"
This question really stumped Gu Chenan.
He blinked, pondered for a moment.
Except for when he pretended to be in a relationship with Xiao Yajie, it seemed like he had never really been on a date with anyone.
Not even with Su Qianmo, nor Liu Mingrui, neither Little Sweet nor Little Tang Sister...
But Gu Chenan still scoffed arrogantly, "The girls who have gone on dates with me are too numerous to count."
Upon hearing this, Hoshino Kannon's expression became solemn, her eyes narrowed, she opened her mouth to let out a brief yet icy cold sound: "Who are they?"
Gu Chenan glanced at her, frowning.
[This crazy woman, what's gotten into you again, it's none of your business who I date.]
[If not for the fact that you'll tell me Lin Yu's next plans after our date, I wouldn't even bother going on a date with you.]
[Even though you're wearing what I love to see today, that's still not the reason why I'm on this date with you!]
What Hoshino Kannon wore today was a black Lolita outfit, paired with gray over-the-knee socks.
To be fair, when Gu Chenan first saw Hoshino Kannon in this outfit, he was quite shocked.
Hearing Gu Chenan's thoughts, Hoshino Kannon smiled slightly.
Wearing what Young Master Gu likes to see today?
Hmph, if you like it then say so directly, why beat around the bush praising me?
Since you've praised me like this already, then I'll let bygones be bygones about you dating other girls behind my back.
Hoshino Kannon recalled what couples usually do on dates, then after a moment she said:
"I've decided, today I want you to take me out for a nice meal, to see a movie, go to the amusement park...hmm, that's all I can think of for now."
Gu Chenan was dumbfounded.
[What the heck, she just came up with three things right off the bat, and said "that's all I can think of for now", meaning there could be more after doing those things?!]
"You have to promise first, otherwise I'm not going," Gu Chenan slammed on the brakes and stopped.
Hoshino Kannon quickly said, "Just those three things, after that you'll send me home!"
"OK," Gu Chenan nodded and started driving again.
...
At the same time.
In a villa halfway up a hill on the outskirts of Suzhou City.
Mummy Lin Yu called for Old Dao.
"It's almost noon already, hasn't Hoshino Kannon arrived in Suzhou yet?"
Old Dao nodded, "I just called Miss Hoshino, but she didn't pick up."
Lin Yu frowned, "What exactly is going on, what is Hoshino Kannon up to?"
Old Dao blinked, looking puzzled, "Mr. Lin, you don't think Miss Hoshino never intended to help us in the first place, do you?"
"Impossible!" Lin Yu confidently and resolutely shook his head, "She will definitely listen to me!"
Old Dao didn't quite understand why Lin Yu was so confident, he just nodded and said, "Let me try contacting Miss Hoshino again."
Then he walked out of Lin Yu's room and took out his phone to call Hoshino Kannon again.
"Beep beep beep..."
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is not answered at the moment..."
At the same time.
"Woohoo!"
On the rollercoaster, Hoshino Kannon threw up both hands excitedly and shrieked.
Next to her, after being bombarded by the spinning teacups, pirate ship ride, and now the rollercoaster, Gu Chenan's face was green and he felt like throwing up.
"Sigh, still no answer."
In the villa, Old Dao disappointingly shook his head.
...
"Urp...urp..."
Under a tree in the amusement park, Gu Chenan was hunched over and retching.
Next to him, Hoshino Kannon pointed at Gu Chenan's miserable state while covering her mouth and laughing loudly.
After a while, Gu Chenan straightened up and looked at the still guffawing Hoshino Kannon, deadpan.
Gu Chenan: (▼ヘ▼#)
"Laugh enough?"
Hoshino Kannon kept laughing and said, "Can't believe you would be in such a sorry state...hahaha!"
Gu Chenan rolled his eyes at her and asked, "Where to next?"
Hoshino Kannon quickly ran to Gu Chenan's side and pointed in one direction, "There!"
Gu Chenan looked in the direction Hoshino Kannon was pointing. He saw a ghost with a gaping big mouth, above its head hung a plaque.
<Haunted House>
"Haunted house? Aren't you afraid?" Gu Chenan asked, turning his head.
"Hmph!" Hoshino Kannon crossed her arms arrogantly and turned her head to one side, "What's there to be afraid of? I'll have you know, I'm not afraid of anything on heaven or earth!"
Then she glanced at Gu Chenan, "You're the scaredy cat right?"
"Tsk." Gu Chenan disdainfully said, "How could I, a grown man, be afraid of these things? Don't joke around!"
"Then let's go."
"Mm-hmm!"
The two of them walked towards the haunted house with the determination to face death.
Half an hour later, at the exit of the haunted house.
Gu Chenan with cold sweat all over his forehead, and Hoshino Kannon with a terrified expression whose body was still trembling, walked out.
Only after they had completely walked out of the range of the haunted house did they both heave deep sighs of relief at the same time.
Then they immediately looked at each other.
"Weren't you saying you're not afraid?" Gu Chenan raised his eyebrows.
"I...I'm not afraid at all, was I afraid? No!" Hoshino Kannon turned her head away, "You were the one who was afraid right, why were you grabbing my hand so tightly?!"
Gu Chenan was taken aback, he quickly said, "What nonsense are you talking about, you were screaming and shrieking in there, I saw that you were scared to death so I held your hand!"
"Hmph!" Hoshino Kannon rolled her eyes.
Gu Chenan also snorted lightly and turned his head away.
Just then, a couple holding huge cotton candies walked by in front of them, snuggling together.
Hoshino Kannon watched the couple walk far away, then she sidled closer to Gu Chenan and nudged him with her elbow.
"What's up?" Gu Chenan asked.
Hoshino Kannon looked longingly at the huge cotton candies, "Want to eat."
Gu Chenan helplessly shook his head, grabbed Hoshino Kannon's wrist, "Let's go, I'll buy you some."
Hoshino Kannon stood not far from the cotton candy stand as Gu Chenan went to buy cotton candy and came back.
"Here you go."
After taking a bite of the cotton candy Hoshino Kannon handed it to Gu Chenan, "Here."
Gu Chenan waved his hand, "No need, I don't eat it."
"Can't do that!" Hoshino Kannon shook the cotton candy in her hand, "You have to eat some."
"Why's that?" Gu Chenan's stubbornness suddenly surfaced.
He had thought Hoshino Kannon would be more stubborn than him in making him eat it.
Unexpectedly, Hoshino Kannon suddenly became shy and lowered her head, biting her lip, "Take a look around, they are all sharing one."
Gu Chenan was taken aback, and looked around.
Indeed, as Hoshino Kannon said, these couples were all sharing a huge cotton candy.
Gu Chenan looked at Hoshino Kannon, his expression suddenly solemn as he said, "Speak up, what exactly do you plan on doing coming to Suzhou this time?"
"And being so out of character this time too."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
