Dating sim loading: My girlfriend is a cunning young lady-Chapter 833 - 358: Striding Toward Distant Places (Part 2)

Dubian Che and Kiyono Lin, both realized this at the same time, then fell into happiness together.

Just as they were about to walk out of the Shibuya Station area, Dubian Che remembered something very important.

He glanced at Kiyono Lin, who was looking at him.

Their gazes met and quickly entangled, then immediately parted.

'What's going on?! Why does it feel so embarrassing and exciting! We've already hugged!'

Dubian Che gathered his courage and reached out his slightly trembling right hand towards Kiyono Lin's pale left hand.

At the moment their skin just touched, Kiyono Lin drew her hand back.

"Sorry, sorry!" Dubian Che quickly said, "I was too eager!"

On a first date, there are many girls who don't want to hold hands.

Kiyono Lin was originally so shy that her body was trembling, but seeing his cautious appearance, she relaxed.

She lowered her hand from her chest, returned it to its original position, and with this gesture indicated to Dubian Che that it was okay to hold hands.

But Dubian Che, like a startled bird, didn't dare to make a move.

"Why are you so shy?" This time Kiyono Lin was genuinely curious.

"Shy? I just didn't want to scare you, trying to act like a gentleman for the first time..." He reacted too quickly, forgetting Kiyono Lin could see through lies.

Or was it because he was too shy, he was flustered and speaking without thinking?

"Go ahead." Kiyono Lin saw through everything.

"Being shy is normal for me." Dubian Che gave up struggling, "Even though I have three girlfriends, I haven't really had a proper relationship."

Kiyono Lin fell into thought, carefully recalling Dubian Che's interactions with Jiutiao Meijie, Mayi Asuka, and Xiaoquan Aonai.

Before she could figure it out, Dubian Che suddenly held her hand.

"..."

The two looked at each other without saying a word, stopping all thoughts.

They simply held hands, walking quietly all the way to Iida Bridge.

"We're really weird." Dubian Che said.

"Indeed, very strange."

"I'm not talking about personality and ability, but our behavior just now: standing still, talking non-stop; walking continuously without saying a word—Isn't it weird?"

"I've never been in a relationship, so I don't know what normal couples are like... I don't dislike this."

"...Lin."

"Mm?"

"It's nothing, just wanted to try calling your name." Then, being overly cautious, Dubian Che added, "Sorry."

Kiyono Lin suddenly let go of his hand, startling Dubian Che, wondering what he did wrong.

This time, before he could figure it out, Kiyono Lin directly linked her arm with his.

The movement was intimate, entirely different from the elegant "linking" with Jiutiao Meijie.

"You can call me as many times as you like." She showed an unprecedented radiant smile.

"Lin."

"Mm."

"Lin."

"Mm~"

"Lin."

"But not too many times at once, okay."

"Last time, Lin."

"Mm."

Walking along the bustling streets, browsing shop windows, they both felt very happy, as if they had grasped something intangible and tucked it into their hearts.

They visited a bookstore, bought shoes together, and the day passed by.

Recalling that day, only when passing the park did it stand out: A child played "Ponyo on the Cliff" on a recorder for their mother sitting on a bench, who hummed along, keeping tempo, while the beech trees rustled.

After watching a movie in the evening, Dubian Che escorted Kiyono Lin back home.

The entrance to the upscale apartment was very bright, like a lighthouse in the night.

"Good night." Kiyono Lin waved softly.

"Good night." Dubian Che couldn't help but wave back.

The two just looked at each other.

"You..."

"You..."

"You first." Whether it counted as a tacit understanding or not, it was enough to make Dubian Che smile happily.

Kiyono Lin initially wanted to say 'You can go first', but as she tucked windblown hair behind her ear, she changed her mind.

"Do you... want to come up?" she almost trembled as she uttered this sentence.

"..." Dubian Che's voice trembled even more than Kiyono Lin's, "Okay."

They left the night behind and entered the brightly lit apartment. They were silent, like strangers.

In the elevator, whenever their eyes met, they immediately broke away like oil and water.

"Take a seat, I'll make tea for you." As soon as they entered the living room, Kiyono Lin found an excuse to leave.

"Okay." Dubian Che sat properly on the sofa, placed the shopping bags neatly by his feet.

Suddenly he thought of something and shouted to Kiyono Lin: "I don't want that Earl Grey tea, it's not tasty!"

"What did you say?" Kiyono Lin really didn't hear clearly, the sound of her heart was too loud.

"...Nothing." Dubian Che thought she had heard it.

Predictably, the tea served was still Earl Grey.

Unnoticed during the day, Dubian Che suddenly realized now that the spot on the teacup touched by Kiyono Lin's lips was so soft.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?" Curious, Kiyono Lin asked.

"Nothing." Dubian Che feigned drinking tea.

"Mmm—" Kiyono Lin put down the teacup and stretched.

Her spine arched into a graceful curve, her slender wrist reached toward the ceiling. The chest he never paid attention to before wasn't as flat as Dubian Che imagined.

"We've been walking all day, I'm so tired, really admire you... Where are you looking?"

"..." Dubian Che fell into thought, then set down the teacup, and with the resolve of someone facing doom, approached Kiyono Lin.

His heart thumped loudly, as if someone was beating a drum in his chest, the same for both of them.

"I'm going to change, wait for me." Kiyono Lin got up and headed towards the bedroom.

"Kiyono." Dubian Che pulled her slender wrist, looked at her profile, and nervously swallowed hard.
