Chapter 1522: Are You Fulfilling a Boyfriend's Duties?

Finally, he picked up his phone and sent Huo Chengying a message: [Little Crystal, would you like to have dinner together tonight?]

Huo Chengying quickly replied: [Sure!]

She quite liked being with Lu Tingshen, and as for whether she liked him, maybe she did.

Lu Tingshen: [I’ll come to your school to pick you up in the afternoon.]

Huo Chengying: [No need, I’ll just take a taxi. It’s too troublesome for you to go back and forth.]

Lu Tingshen naturally wouldn’t find it troublesome. He didn’t think so before, and now that he liked her, he definitely didn’t think so.

[It’s settled then. When you finish class, I’ll come to pick you up.]

Huo Chengying: [Alright then! I’ll wait for you at the corner where you dropped me off last time at six.]

Lu Tingshen: [Does your class go until six?]

Huo Chengying: [It’s you who has work to do!]

Lu Tingshen originally wanted to say it didn’t matter to him, but perhaps that would put pressure on Huo Chengying.

So he replied with a simple: [Okay.]

Upon receiving her response, Lu Tingshen began preparing for the evening’s date.

You could call it a date!

He booked a restaurant, and since Huo Chengying doesn’t eat beef, he couldn’t choose a Western restaurant.

Considering Huo Chengying’s taste, Lu Tingshen booked a restaurant with a pretty good reputation.

He also ordered a bouquet of flowers.

Having never pursued a girl before, these moves were practically cliché.

Though cliché, it was still highly practical.

It was his first time buying roses, and he didn’t purchase a large bouquet. He picked a few stems, knowing that if it were too much, Huo Chengying wouldn’t like it.

Elegant packaging was all that was needed.

At five o’clock, Lu Tingshen left the company, taking the newly bought fresh flowers.

He went directly to the appointed location.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Huo Chengying appeared.

“Uncle, have you been waiting long?” Huo Chengying asked as she got into the car.

“No, I just arrived too.”

Lu Tingshen’s fingers moved restlessly; he felt a bit nervous and hesitated to start driving.

“Uncle, aren’t we leaving?” Huo Chengying spread her fingers and waved them in front of him, “Uncle?”

“This is for you.” Lu Tingshen turned sideways and took out a bouquet of red roses from the back seat.

“For me?” Huo Chengying took the roses, “Thank you!”

“I didn’t know whether you would like it.” Lu Tingshen suddenly found himself unable to express much, so he simply started the car.

“I like it, thank you.” Naturally, she couldn’t say she didn’t like the gift.

Huo Chengying forgot that she had never received roses from anyone else.

The car drove ahead, and Lu Tingshen didn’t initiate conversation.

He was also a bit nervous.

“What are we going to eat? Is duck alright? I suddenly feel like eating that.” Huo Chengying curved her eyes, “And I’ll order sweet and sour ribs for you.”

“Alright.” Lu Tingshen was relieved he had chosen a private kitchen.

It had a great reputation, and he had dined there before.

“Uncle, are you starting to fulfill boyfriend duties?” Huo Chengying tilted her head and looked at him, “Why don’t you ask me if I’ve made up my mind?”

“Didn’t you say you wanted three days?” Lu Tingshen found the word “boyfriend” quite appealing.

“So, are you now pursuing me? Because I haven’t agreed yet, so you have to chase me?” Huo Chengying had watched romance dramas where this seemed to be how guys pursued girls.

“That’s right, I’m pursuing you.” Lu Tingshen admitted boldly.
