Ye Ye finally felt that her first kiss, which she had given away in a daze, needed some saving of face! This was something her first love, who had pursued her for five years, hadn’t even achieved! “You—” Dean’s slender fingers lightly tapped her lips, “slightly open… I thought it was an invitation…” His lake-blue eyes were smiling. Suddenly, Ye Ye realized that standing there in her bathrobe with this stranger who came to exchange phones was quite suggestive, so she stepped back, deciding not to argue about the kiss, as it seemed pointless. Moreover, she had been—very, enchanted… No, no, no, she wasn’t enchanted! She quickly denied her absurd thought. “Sir, since you’ve got your phone back, you can leave now!” Ye Ye said. “I’m Dean, but you can call me Huo,” Dean replied irrelevantly. “Alright then, Huo, can you leave now?” Ye Ye said. “If you agree to have dinner with me, I might consider leaving and let you change,” Dean said dominantly. “Do I have to go?” “Yes.” “Then—alright.” “I’ll wait for you at the door, five minutes… otherwise, I’ll come in to serve you personally…” “Jerk!” Ye Ye said angrily, not understanding why she agreed to this. But then, she thought about the purpose of her trip abroad—to end her innocence with a foreign romance and infuriate her family of five! And this man—seemed quite decent! “Hurry up, darling.” “Don’t call me darling, call me Ye Ye!” “Alright, Ye Ye darling, you have 4 minutes and 50 seconds…” Dean said, glancing at his watch and smiling as he left the room. What a cute, beautiful girl…

Ye Ye called her friends, telling them she had menstrual pain, had taken some medicine, and would skip dinner to sleep. She changed, combed her hair neatly, applied no makeup except for some silver glitter on her eyelids, making her already bright eyes even more enchanting. She picked up her small purse and quickly left the room. Dean was waiting on the lounge sofa on her floor, watching Ye Ye in black leggings, a sparkling purple halter top, and a white short fur jacket, with no makeup on. He was astonished. He didn’t think any girl could get ready in five minutes for a date… Clearly, this girl was different, or perhaps her natural beauty didn’t require much time for elaborate grooming…
