Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 484 - 62 I prefer this style
"I think I saw Principal Zhou eating at the restaurant,"
Li Mumu, softly licking her ice cream, turned her head and whispered to Wang Yunxiao.
"The one we just passed?"
Wang Yunxiao turned and glanced, "Are you sure you weren’t mistaken? That old man is always so thrifty in his daily life, he solves all three meals in the school cafeteria. For him to dine out, and eat Western food?"
"Maybe someone is treating him? An old friend or something?"
"Oh, you never know."
Everyone has their own lives, and that’s normal.
Take Wang Yunxiao for example, he had never thought he would have the chance to ask Li Mumu out alone for a stroll today.
It’s like they’re a couple, how easily people could misunderstand!
Of course, it wasn’t a date. Wang Yunxiao had found the Shen Family’s address through student records, and initially planned to take his brothers out for a walk, but unexpectedly, Li Mumu also came out with Zhou Qing and Jiang Yinyin to visit a patient.
It happened to be a coincidence that they were heading in the same direction, towards the Seaside District.
Tianmen City is quite large, traveling from Nantong District to Seaside District by bus number 11 could take from morning to night.
But fortunately, the economy is booming, there are many carriages on the road, and one can hire a carriage with money.
It would be better to buy a car, but sadly there’s no driver, and it would be too conspicuous on the road.
Li Mumu mulled over this in her mind, while stealthily giving Wang Yunxiao a look.
Forget it, this guy probably can’t drive, nor would he willingly drive for her.
In their group, only Dumpling was relatively honest, tirelessly cooking and preparing meals every day. If there was a chance in the future, she might consider training Dumpling seriously.
Eldest Miss Li actually deigned to squeeze into a horse carriage with them, truly a down-to-earth, good girl.
Wang Yunxiao felt quite reassured. Honestly, Eldest Miss Li was much more approachable than those real rich heiresses he had imagined, or rather, she was far better than the stereotypes of women he had before he transmigrated.
Of course, he was also very aware that she didn’t come close to him because she was interested in someone like him, a "loser."
Dreams can wait until nighttime, reality still requires living.
After entering Seaside District, the number of cars visibly increased on the roads.
Due to a large influx of overseas immigrants, the development and construction pace in Seaside District was much faster than the old city area, it almost didn’t feel like the same city.
The streets were filled with foreigners, and there were even some dressed in bizarre clothes that Wang Yunxiao couldn’t recognize what nationality they were from.
As they were close to their destination, Wang Yunxiao asked Li Mumu, "If you finish up with your errands, could you help me check on a patient?"
"I’m not busy on my end, let’s first go see your... patient,"
Li Mumu smiled warmly.
Wang Yunxiao turned his head to Youtiao, who got it immediately and nodded, "I and the boys will first go have a... stroll."
Then he waved at the two little girls, "You two come with us!"
"Yikes!"
About to be kidnapped by loafers!
Zhou Qing and Jiang Yinyin hurriedly looked towards Li Mumu, and she waved her hand, "Go have some fun first, let them treat you to whatever you want to eat, don’t be polite with them."
The two little girls’ gazes at her instantly became peculiar.
What kind of looks are those! Am I not letting you have fun? It’s like I’m trying to ditch you two for some sort of a romantic world for two... bah! I’m here for serious matters!
Li Mumu was freaking out inside.
People’s hearts these days, everything is dirty, always thinking dirty whenever they see a boy and girl alone together.
Can’t we just have a simple friendship between a man and a woman?
Exactly, exactly! Wang Yunxiao glared viciously at the two girls, making them shiver with fear.
Am I some kind of villain? Could I possibly eat your family’s eldest miss?
Well, I guess I actually am... but that’s not important. My relationship with Eldest Miss Li is completely innocent, not as filthy as you think!
I still owe her an ice cream!
......
Of course, to tell the truth, strolling alone with a beautiful girl does feel great, and holding hands would be even better.
Walking down the street, Wang Yunxiao tried hard to control the expression on his face, not wanting to reveal the dirty thoughts inside him.
A freshly washed girl still smells fragrant even without using body wash!
Some people say that women have no body scent and it’s all shampoo fragrance, but that’s because they don’t understand science and don’t know what pheromones are.
"Next time, it’s better not to take them too far from home. What would you do if something dangerous happened?"
"It’s okay, I think it’s much safer than where I come from. And we only go out during the day."
Going out during the day is more dangerous, though.
Wang Yunxiao didn’t voice this thought. He felt it was difficult to explain to a sheltered young lady what it means when a criminal commits a crime in broad daylight.
It might even be safer at night since they have something following them...
Last night, Wang Yunxiao found Zhou Qing (the ghost) and asked her why she frightened Li Mumu. Zhou Qing looked aggrieved and said an evil spirit had come to the school to peep into the girls’ dormitory, and she just didn’t want Eldest Miss Li to be exposed.
What kind of evil spirit aspires to peeping instead of harming people?
As he passed a watch store, Wang Yunxiao paused and glanced at the watches in the display window.
So damn expensive!
In a future era where everyone has mobile phones, watches had nearly been phased out, except for greasy middle-aged coal bosses and showy underage students.
Designer watches are still valuable, but outside their circles, nobody recognizes them.
Now it’s different. In this era, a watch is still a rare item with a high-tech content, an ordinary watch can equate to a month’s salary for a wage earner.
Wang Yunxiao had always wanted a watch, not to show off, but merely to check the time.
Without precise timekeeping, things always feel rushed.
"Are you thinking of buying a watch?"
Li Mumu peered over, her black hair hanging near Wang Yunxiao’s ear.
"No, just looking."
Wang Yunxiao said stiffly, "I noticed that you don’t seem to like wearing a watch usually?"
"Time is something you can estimate. Why bother racing against it during the best years of your life?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Li Mumu turned her head, her lips curling slightly: "Are you thinking of buying me a watch?"
"Hahaha~"
Wang Yunxiao chuckled dryly.
When a man’s pockets are empty, his words lack confidence.
"I rather like this model—"
Wang Yunxiao followed Li Mumu’s delicate finger and saw a refined women’s watch topped with a bright red ruby.
At that moment, the smile on Eldest Miss Li’s lips seemed more dazzling than the glittering ruby on the watch.
Wang Yunxiao took a deep breath, just about to speak, when a sales assistant came over and took the watch away.
The two stood outside the display window, falling into an awkward silence.
