Official announcement??
It was the first time Su Xiyan heard these two words from Chen Shuo's mouth.
Counting back, she and Chen Shuo had officially been together for some time now.
Su Xiyan's clear gaze seemed to exude a sort of "naive" aura unique to dealing with feelings.
Chen Shuo patiently explained: "An official announcement means we post a couple photo together, like one of us holding hands, or change our profile pictures to a couple's photo, basically announcing to everyone we know that we're together."
"That's what's called an official relationship announcement."
"Come to think of it, we haven't posted anything on our friend circles since we got together."
"No wonder those gossipy people around you keep pestering you about it."
Chen Shuo grasped Su Xiyan's hand and placed it on his chest, letting her feel his strong heartbeat: "Sorry, I didn't think this through."
Su Xiyan's eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation: "So this is an official announcement?"
"It actually sounds kind of fun."
Su Xiyan was indeed a true "pure female". She picked up Chen Shuo's hand, their fingers intertwined, and with her other hand holding her phone, she casually snapped a photo of their intertwined hands.
Chen Shuo: "...Su Xiyan, is this how you usually take photos?"
Su Xiyan blinked her big, beautiful eyes: "Mmhmm? What's wrong with taking it this way?"
Chen Shuo looked utterly incredulous: "You're not even using a beauty filter?"
Su Xiyan smirked disdainfully: "Only women who lack confidence in their looks and body need to use beauty camera apps."
This self-assurance bordering on arrogance even made Chen Shuo give her a thumbs up!
And just like that, a rather "casual" hand-holding photo was posted on Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan's friend circles and Penguin Moments.
A simple hand-holding photo, not overly sentimental, without any posing or trendy filters.
Ordinary, as if it was just their daily routine.
Within a few minutes of posting, the likes and comments on their friend circles had skyrocketed to 99+.
Chen Shuo couldn't help but click his tongue - is this the power of a school beauty?
Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan's relationship was already known by the school and their families. They just lacked an official announcement.
This belated official announcement was like stamping a seal of confirmation, announcing to everyone that they were in a relationship.
Everyone had already been consuming their sugar to the point of diabetes, so this official announcement was just adding more sweetness for those familiar with them.
Some thought they had even taken wedding photos already?
How soon until they get married?
The gossip crowds were overjoyed! Because now they could shamelessly ship this couple!
A week passed in the blink of an eye amidst the busyness.
Su Xiyan's cousin was getting married this Sunday, so Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan packed their bags after school on Friday afternoon and drove their white AMG to the neighboring city of Yuhua.
Ever since Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan got together, Chen Shuo had been the one driving this car most of the time.
Su Xiyan would sit calmly in the passenger seat, her long, slender, porcelain legs often having nowhere to rest, so she would just curl up her beautiful legs on the seat.
This pose showed off her perfect long legs in full glory.
Chen Shuo had to drive, so he dared not get distracted.
He really wished his right eye socket had an extra pair of eyes, so that he could drive while enjoying Su Xiyan's otherworldly beauty and incredible legs at the same time.
It was a three-hour drive on the highway from Sucheng to Yuhua City.
Su Xiyan sat in the passenger seat, constantly snacking.
Strangely, her appetite had improved since being with Chen Shuo. Even those "junk foods" that she used to dislike had become more appealing.
Chen Shuo focused intently on driving, tilting his head slightly and opening his mouth:
"Ahh~~"
Su Xiyan played along naturally, feeding Chen Shuo a snack into his mouth.
So adorable being fed like a baby! Su Xiyan really enjoyed this feeling of feeding Chen Shuo.
As the older sister, she had to take care of her little brother!
Another bag of snacks was finished.
Chen Shuo had swallowed the snack in his mouth, but unaware that he had devoured another bag, he kept opening his mouth towards Su Xiyan, waiting to be fed again.
"Ahh~~"
"Ahh~~~~"
Chen Shuo kept saying "ahh" but didn't receive any more snacks to eat.
"Su Xiyan, I'm hungry."
The next second, a little head leaned over, and a soft, supple pair of lips gently pressed against Chen Shuo's cheek.
Surprise attack successful!!
"Not hungry anymore, right?" Su Xiyan's voice was playful.
Chen Shuo: "......"
"Su Xiyan, I'm driving!!"
Su Xiyan obediently returned to her seat: "Okay! I won't distract you from driving anymore."
But Chen Shuo's heart had already been completely captured by Su Xiyan: "But what if I'm still hungry?"
Su Xiyan deliberately teased Chen Shuo: "Hungry? Then what do you want to eat?"
Chen Shuo's eyes flickered with visible flames: "How about... eating a Demonhunter?"
Su Xiyan knew Chen Shuo had to drive and couldn't do anything else, so she brazenly egged him on: "Sure!"
"The highest-ranked Demonhunter in Sucheng is right in front of you, how would you like to eat me?"
Chen Shuo suppressed the flames in his eyes, his voice becoming hoarse from restraint: "Su Xiyan, are you playing with fire?"
Su Xiyan enjoyed watching Chen Shuo struggling to control himself, finding it amusing: "So what if I am?"
Taunting!!
This was outright taunting!!
This fire had been ignited in Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo checked the navigation on his phone, feeling helpless: Dammit! There's still over 100 kilometers left on the highway?
He really wanted to just stop the car right now and make the fire-playing Su Xiyan understand what it means to be burned by the flames.
The fire had reached this level, it couldn't continue any further.
Letting it go on would lead to an uncontrollable situation.
Though Su Xiyan acted tough, her heart was slightly wavering. Even sitting in the passenger seat, she could feel the raging flames burning within Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo gripped the steering wheel with one hand while using the other to pinch Su Xiyan's cheek: "Su Xiyan, you just wait!"
"There's a little over 100 kilometers left until we exit the highway."
"The fire you ignited, you'll be responsible for putting out."
Su Xiyan remained unfazed: "My uncle and the others are already waiting for us at the highway exit."
"Let's go eat first and meet my family elders."
"Then we'll go back to the hotel to rest."
After hearing Su Xiyan's itinerary, Chen Shuo said: "Weddings cost a lot of money, tell your uncle not to book an extra hotel room for us, one room will be enough."
As he said this, Chen Shuo gave Su Xiyan a look like he wanted to devour her whole.
Su Xiyan wasn't intimidated at all by Chen Shuo's "threat", her expression nonchalant as she casually said:
"No problem, my uncle booked the entire hotel."
Chen Shuo: (⊙▽⊙"!!!

But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

"This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
