Lover's Seat

  Zhao Zimo didn't like the popular cinema, nor did she like the elegant concert hall, and even less so the beautifully decorated restaurant. In the end, she chose to spend Christmas Eve at the fireworks square near the old train station.

  It was a lively scene with people shoulder to shoulder and heel to heel.

  After getting off the car, Zhao Zimo slipped into the crowd and solemnly announced: "Extreme product, in order to express your gratitude for accompanying you on Christmas Eve, tonight I will take care of consumption, you just follow behind and pay the bill, understand?"

  Gu Chengge glanced at her silently: "A Mo, you're talking nonsense."

  Zhao Zimo: "......"

  She rolled her eyes: It seemed that she was indeed talking nonsense. Why bother saying so much nonsense after justifying it?

  The surrounding area of the old train station is filled with mobile food stalls from morning till night, offering roasted lamb skewers, spicy hot pot, roasted sweet potatoes...

  Zhao Zimo handed over two hot roasted sweet potatoes, turned around and gave one to Gu Chengge who was just receiving the change from the old man selling sweet potatoes.

  "Here, take it."

  Gu Cheng glanced at the roasted sweet potato with cracked skin and shook his head: "You eat it then."

  Zhao Zimo didn't want to, but was forced to: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm willing to share with you."

  Seeing Gu Cheng's slightly stifled expression, Zhao Zimo smiled slyly and turned around: She knew that the best quality wouldn't like to make such a move that would damage her image in public, but if they were going to damage their images, they might as well do it together!

  However, Zhao Zimo turned around and took only two steps before bumping into someone. The piece of calabaza that had just reached his mouth fell to the ground due to the collision.

  Delicious food has flown away!

  Zhao Zimo was unhappy, looked up and saw the person blocking his way, immediately got angry: "Gu Chengxi, compensate me for my calabaza!"

  Gu Chengxi couldn't vent her anger, so she directly bypassed her and teased her own biological older brother: "Ah ah, it's done, big bro, you've finally come around!"

  Gu Cheng's song is calm and composed.

  Xiao Chuyan squeezed out of the crowd: "West City, there's a table at 'Laughing in the Wind and Clouds'..." Seeing someone else beside him, he immediately called out, "A Mo, you guys come out too..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Zimo's eyes shot out a brilliant light: "Xiao Chuyan, the 'Laughing at Jianghu' you mentioned, is it the restaurant that calls waiters 'xiao er' and bosses 'zhuang guan'?"

  Xiao Chuyan nodded cautiously, a bad feeling slowly rising up his scalp.

  As expected, Zhao Zimo was already excited: "Great! I've been wanting to go for a long time. Xiao Chuyan, your family's Cusc City wasted a pumpkin on me, so you should treat us to a meal as compensation!"

  Is there such extortion?!

  Xiao Chuyan was about to refuse without hesitation, but Gu Chengge had already handed the pumpkin in his hand to her: "A Mo, don't be a light bulb."

  Zhao Zimo had an indifferent expression: "When the light bulb was nothing special, I often shone on these two mandarin ducks."

  Gu Cheng Ge gave Xiao Chu Yan a displeased glance, slightly furrowing his brow. Zhao Zi Mo deliberately raised an eyebrow and spoke in a stern tone: "Top quality, I'm helping you save money, huh?"

  Save money?

  Gu Chengxi's eyes lit up and he warmly welcomed, "Great, great! With one or two light bulbs that aren't a big deal, shining brightly is proof that our love is open and aboveboard!"

  Under the enthusiastic response of Zhao Zimo and Gu Chengxi, Gu Cheng's song was changed to "not to be denied", Xiao Chuyan still unwillingly entered "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" together with the other three.

  The decorations in the store are indeed very Jianghu, each compartment is only separated by bamboo strips, and each compartment has a name such as "Emei Sect", "Shaolin Temple", "Heimuyan" and so on. The walls also hang with the town's weapons of various schools and have poems.

  Xiao Chuyan led the way upstairs, and the stairs were also a very classic wooden staircase. They entered a compartment called "Huashan School", which was located at a four-person square wooden table.

  Zhao Zimo casually picked a seat and sat down, but was stopped by Xiao Chuyan sitting on her left: "Zhao Zimo, go sit across from me."

  Zhao Zimo said inexplicably: "What's wrong with sitting on your right hand side?"

  Xiao Chuyan hummed: "Nothing, this location is in the west of the city."

  Zhao Zimo was still puzzled: It's just eating a meal, why care about seating positions?

  Gu Cheng's voice was calm and gentle as he said, "A Mo, come sit down."

  Zhao Zimo reluctantly stood up.

  So, the positions of the four people became: Xiao Chuyan, Gu Chengxi, Gu Chengge, Zhao Zimo.

  Zhao Zimo's temper came and went quickly. When the "shopkeeper" dressed in ancient attire brought over the menu, she was delighted again.

  White rainbow across the sun, phoenix comes with auspicious signs, golden wild goose flies horizontally in the sky, spring breeze and willow trees, dragon and phoenix rising...

  "Huh, a whole set of Huashan swordsmanship, I don't know what material it's made of, I won't bother." Zhao Zimo threw away the menu and played the role of a careless shopkeeper.

  The other three were also basically confused, and finally ordered a few dishes under the explanation of the shopkeeper.

  The whole meal was quite harmonious, but then Gu Chengxi whispered something in Xiao Chuyan's ear, and suddenly the atmosphere was ruined. At first, Fan was unhappy about it, but he didn't complain anymore. After all, he had gotten used to having Zhao Zimo around whenever he was with Gu Chengxi.

  Just as they were about to finish eating, Xiao Chuyan got up to go to the restroom. Less than half a minute later, Gu Chengxi also followed him.

  "Ji Pin, when eating, sitting in this position, is there some particular rule or custom?"

  "Nothing, it's just the rules of a man's world."

  Rules in a man's world?

  Zhao Zimo was bewildered: "What does it mean?"

  Gu Cheng's song simply replied: "To the right of Xiao Chuyu is the seat of his lover."

  Lover's seat?

  Zhao Zimo somewhat understood.

  She had read some sayings about Libra on the internet before.

  The Lover's Seat is a position that only lovers can sit in, some men reserve the seat next to the driver for their beloved woman, some men reserve a certain part of their body for a specific girl, and Xiao Chuyan...

  Zhao Zimo vaguely remembered that, all along, besides Gu Chengxi on Xiang Chuyan's right side, it seemed like no one else had ever stood or sat there. Sometimes when she slipped to his right side, he would quietly brush her off...

  Originally, the position on his right hand side was his lover's seat, only reserved for the girl he loved.

  Zhao Zimo suddenly smiled and looked at Gu Chengge: "So excellent, where is your lover?"

  Gu Cheng's song is looking at her.

  "Here." He pointed to the position of his heart, his deep eyes fixed on her, "My lover's seat, the one who is allowed to sit here, this position will belong to her for a lifetime."

  Gu Cheng's songs have always been lonely and stubborn, that place, he is not easily opened to others, but once someone enters, that position will forever belong only to that one person.

  Zhao Zimo's hands were propping up his chin, and he couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement: "The ultimate lover's seat, the person who sits in it must be very happy..."

  Gu Cheng smiled slightly, his ink-like eyes shining exceptionally bright under the fluorescent light, like diamonds on black velvet, being illuminated by spotlights and gathering into a small point of light, then reflecting out a small bundle of fine and soft rays.

  He stared at her: "So Ah Mo, you're lucky..."

  "Ah!"

  Zhao Zimo suddenly jumped up and pulled out a notebook from his bag: "Right, the best part, I forgot that we still need to add a small section in the special feature."

  Gu Cheng's mouth twitched: "What?"

  Zhao Zimo: "I've been stuffed with N many small notes lately, the girls hope to know more about you, so..."

  Gu Cheng's song: "..."

  A bad premonition rose up in his heart.

  Zhao Zimo's eyes sparkled brightly, and he smiled: "So, we still need to take a quick Q&A session. I've specifically selected ten questions for you!"

  She would definitely agree with pleasure...

  "This will be discussed later," said Gu Cheng Ge, calling out to "Shopkeeper" to pay the bill.

  Zhao Zimo was unhappy: "Hey, hey, this is too much! Xiao Chuyan will pay for this meal!" She complained, "Why did these two mandarin ducks take so long in the restroom last time?"

  He glanced at her and she seemed completely unaware. He couldn't help but sigh: "They left a long time ago."

  "What?" Zhao Zimo was clearly incredulous.

  Gu Cheng gently patted her occipital bone: "Silly Mo, no couple likes to have a third person present when they're on a date." I don't like it either.

  At this time, the two had already left the restaurant.

  Zhao Zimo heard this and his eyes wandered aimlessly over the crowd before slowly lowering his head, saying nothing.

  Actually, she understands.

  On this peaceful night, such an unreasonable thing inserted itself between them, actually just giving its own heart a final verification.

  It turned out her feelings were right.

  She no longer had any thoughts of Xiao Chuyan, but instead had some inappropriate thoughts about the extreme product...

  That kind of thought, is the joy that emerges without reason when seeing his figure, is the satisfaction of being able to follow him every day, is the willingness and delight in queuing up for food in the cafeteria for him, is the sweet and not greasy comfort of arguing with him freely, is the entanglement after holding hands through the traffic light, is the uncontrollable shyness and confusion when he suddenly gets close, is the excitement of seeing him waiting for her under the winter plum tree or somewhere else, is the sweetness and involuntary fantasy and expectation that arises when hearing words like "boss and wife", "cook and husband", "your family"...

  This meal, Zhao Zimo finally clearly realized and acknowledged that the person living in her heart had changed, that is to say -

  She has long since developed feelings for him!

  Zhao Zimo's heart was filled with anxiety and shyness at this moment, although she had already understood her own thoughts, but what about the floating clouds in the sky that she yearned for?

  As Zhao Zimo crossed the road like flowing water, he stole a glance at Gu Chengge beside him.

  Under the night sky illuminated by car lights, streetlights and neon lights, he walked at a moderate pace, calmly observing the passing vehicles.

  He gently took her hand!

  At this moment of discovery, Zhao Zimo's heart was in disarray.

  When did you hold hands? How did she just find out?!

  But but, the hand he was holding seemed to have been shocked into numbness...
