Chapter 454: Chapter 455 The Old-fashioned Romance Is Out Of Date

Translator: Doggotranslation

I didn’t feel nervous about the first date in my life. After all, I had been hanging around with Liusu for nearly five years. The familiarity between us made it destined for us not to have too much throbbing, but a bit more warmth. The transition from friends to a couple added a subtle sense of fun to this warmth. This indescribable sense of fun made me unable to suppress the excitement. I regarded this excitement as ‘anticipation’.

The night before the first date, I was not nervous, but because of the excitement of anticipation, I couldn’t fall asleep.

The time before I fell asleep was hard, but probably because it was hard, when I finally fell asleep, I slept very deeply; so much so that when I woke up, the sun was already high up in the sky.

I languidly got up from the sofa. If it weren’t for the sunlight to be too dazzling, I would’ve definitely continued to sleep. But after I looked sleepily at the clock on the wall, I was stunned.

It is 11:05 already?

The self-deceptive ridicule did not delay the fall of the sweat beads on my forehead. Rubbing my eyes, I looked at it again…

“Shit!” I let out a panic cry and crawled down the sofa hurriedly. Not having time to knock on the door, I broke into my own bedroom, which was currently being used by Dongfang and Chu Yuan.

The reason why I panicked was that it was not 11:05 but 12:05! There were only 25 minutes left before the appointment time with Liusu!

Why didn’t anyone wake me up!? I originally planned to do a lot of things before meeting Liusu, but now it seemed that time was definitely not enough! I grumbled, but I couldn’t find anyone to complain to. My room was empty. Chu Yuan and Dongfang were not inside my room. These two bratty girls must have gone shopping. Seriously, why didn’t they wake me up before they left?

Actually, I also understand that Chu Yuan didn’t wake me up because she was afraid that I would be in a bad mood after she woke me up. After all, I didn’t tell them about going on a date with Liusu today. If I said that, Chu Yuan would be the person who was in a bad mood.

On the first date, image and impression are both important. So what kind of clothes should I wear? Suit? My stepmother often says that I look the most handsome in a suit, but this is the dress I always wear at work. Liusu probably is already tired of seeing me in a suit. Besides, it is too solemn and inappropriate to dress in a suit. On such a hot day, it is unnatural to wear suits…

Then wear casual clothes? But my casual clothes are mostly sports styles. Would it be too casual? After all, I’m going to go shopping and watch movies with Liusu as her boyfriend, not her best buddy…

Only at this moment did I realize that I, who started thinking about and designing today’s date from yesterday afternoon, was completely unprepared.

I had thought so many things, but I also missed too many details, and these inadvertent little things were actually much more important!

This is the price of having no experience!

This hard lesson made me deeply regret it. I really shouldn’t have kept it from the three girls at home. Otherwise, they would be able to give me some advice, and I wouldn’t have been so unprepared. Sister Tiger might not be able to offer any useful advice, but from Chu Yuan and Dongfang’s dress style, they would definitely be able to help me choose a suitable dress.

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered the day I took Chu Yuan to buy a computer. Didn’t the bratty girl choose a set of clothes for me that day? The moment I remembered this, I was overjoyed.

Crimson check shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers. This kind of outfit shouldn’t be a problem, right? After all, it was the outfit recognized by Chu Yuan. It was simple, lively, and casual, but it was not frivolous. I nodded in satisfaction in the front of the mirror and then looked at the time again.

Oh no! It’s already 1:10!

I brushed my teeth and washed my face at five times the fast-forward speed. Before I could wipe my face dry, I rushed to the hallway to change my shoes and got out. Before locking the door, I suddenly remembered something and ran back into the flat again.

“Xiaoye, Xiaoye~! Are you home?” While yelling loudly, I pushed the door and entered Chu Yuan’s room. As expected, there was no one in her bedroom. I took a glance at the balcony. The clothes that were still hanging there last night were gone. She had really gone out.

Feeling relieved, I locked the door, went downstairs, and took a taxi to the New Century Shopping Center.

Since Chu Yuan moved in, I have been forced to watch two episodes of cliche romantic drama every night at prime time. So more or less, I learned a little bit of the so-called corny romantic tricks of chasing girls.

My original plan was to reserve a seat in the romantic Italian coffee shop near the New Century Shopping Center, making a special request to the waiters and violinist in advance.

Imagine this: When we were tired from shopping and wanted to take a break, we walked into the Italian coffee shop ‘by accident’ and were ‘lucky’ to get a good seat on a busy weekend.

Just as Liusu was happy, the violinist suddenly performed a romantic and lyrical piece while walking slowly towards us, attracting all customers’ attention. At this moment, a waiter pushed out a cart decorated with roses. On top of the cart was a heart-shaped red cake with “I will always remember this day” and the date was written below to commemorate our first date.

Then I stood up and gave her a bouquet of ninety-nine roses…

This was definitely a one-shot kill move. The thin-skinned Liusu would definitely be deeply moved and remember this moment forever.

Even though… This is so old-fashioned, isn’t the so-called romance just this kind of heartfelt sentiment? Whether it is a man or a woman, their most favorite sentence seems to always be the phrase ‘I love you’ that has been repeated countless times since the invention of the words.

The old-fashioned romance will not be outdated. It is my understanding of romance.

But this plan was obviously not going to happen. I never thought that my sleep would destroy the romance of my first date in my life.

I was late for a full forty minutes…

When I appeared in the open-air cold drink shop of the New Century Shopping Center with a big bouquet of roses and sweating profusely, my romantic fantasy seemed to fly farther and farther away from me.

“Hello, Liusu, where are you? I’m here,” There was a group of stylishly dressed teenagers in the square performing eye-catching sports like skateboarding and cycling.

To set off the atmosphere, they played the music so loudly that I had to shout on my phone, “Did you see me? I’m right next to the cold drink shop you mentioned- Hello? Hello! Why are you not talking? Can you not hear me? God damn it, this place is too noisy…”

Regardless of the strange glances the people around me gave me, I took a deep breath and shouted into the phone with a high pitch enough to cover the loud music: “Did you see me! I’m… ow—”

Before I could finish shouting, someone slammed into me from my back. It almost caused me to fall to the ground. I was already in a terrible mood because I was late for my first dare and I couldn’t find Liusu. I completely lost my temper after I was almost pushed over to the ground by someone.

Before I turned around to find the person who bumped into me, I already shouted with a face twisted in anger, “Watch where you are going! Are you blind!?”

“I think so…”

“Liusu? !” I almost bit my own tongue. The tall beauty standing behind me was Liusu!?

I was not sure. If it wasn’t for her voice, which was something that I was familiar with, I really wouldn’t dare to confirm her identity.

Her ponytail was gone. The black, soft, and shiny straight hair she currently had was something that I was not familiar with. Her eyebrows became thin, her eyelashes were curled, her thin lips were shiny, and her pretty face flushed with embarrassment. The girl who had never worn make-up actually wore make-up today!

It was not just makeup, but even her dress was very different from the dress she wore in the past. A snow-white suspender dress was simple, but it gave people an elegant and refined feeling. She looked like a beautiful lady who had just come out of a painting. The words “beautiful” or “pretty” were not enough to describe her…

Her shoulders had clear-cut features as if they were carved out by a knife, her arms white as snow, and her straight slender legs were sexy but it wouldn’t raise any dirty thoughts.

She who had such a pair of perfectly long legs didn’t wear stockings, because she did not have any flaws that she needed to cover up. Although I had some opinions about her wearing a pair of high heels when she was already tall, I couldn’t not deny that this was the most perfect outfit.

As far as I could remember, this was the first time I saw her wearing peep-toe shoes.. Her jade feet were small and delicate, and with thin shoelaces cross-wrapped around her ankles, it added a bit of seductive sexiness.
