Chapter 966: We Are a Couple, We Need a Date

The two of them came out of the restaurant and went straight to the edge of the beach.

The sun's shadow had long since almost vanished, with only a faint golden light remaining at the edge of the sea.

The atmosphere of "romance" on the beach was even thicker than what they had felt upstairs just now.

Watching couple after couple pass by holding hands, some even kissing while taking photos without any inhibition, Cai Xiaotang's heart stirred slightly, and she suddenly thought of something.

She and Li Xiao... they didn't seem to have a single decent photo together, did they?

The poses wouldn't need to be that exaggerated... but if she suddenly suggested wanting to take a photo, this guy would definitely overthink it, right...

Besides, her attitude had been so firm before; if she suddenly said she wanted a photo together, wouldn't that expose that she still couldn't bear to let this guy go?

Better forget it...

Cai Xiaotang thought to herself, her peripheral vision subconsciously sweeping over the person beside her, and she couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.

"Why do you keep peeking at me?"

Li Xiao had long since noticed her gaze; seeing her looking like she had something to say but wasn't saying it, as if she had something on her mind, he finally couldn't help but take the initiative to ask.

Upon hearing this, a flash of guilt instantly crossed Cai Xiaotang's eyes. Just as she was about to find an excuse to brush it off, she suddenly saw a few familiar figures walking toward them.

It was none other than Gu Han and the few boys beside him!

As their eyes met, a look of surprise quickly flashed across Cai Xiaotang's face.

Gu Han didn't seem to have expected to run into her here either. He was stunned for a moment, then saw Li Xiao beside her, and his expression instantly darkened, looking displeased.

Cai Xiaotang's gaze did not linger on Gu Han for too long.

Li Xiao naturally noticed the other party as well, but he didn't spare an extra glance and ignored him directly.

After only a few seconds, the two groups brushed past each other.

Almost as soon as they had put a little distance between them, someone beside Gu Han asked:

"Young Master Gu, isn't that the woman you had your eye on? How come she's with another man?"

The other party's tone was full of mockery, clearly looking to see a joke. Before Gu Han could reply, he continued: "That wouldn't happen to be her boyfriend, would it? No wonder you struck out..."

"Who the hell struck out?"

Gu Han felt he was losing face and retorted unpleasantly.

As he spoke, he cast a gloomy glance at the now-distant Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang, gritted his teeth, and whispered: "It was her and that man who teamed up to scam me. Just wait, this matter won't be settled so easily!"

On the other side—Li Xiao suddenly spoke up: "I've already had someone look into that Gu Han."

"Huh?"

Cai Xiaotang looked at him with some surprise.

Then she heard Li Xiao continue.

"He graduated from university not long ago and is a local here. His family is a local clan with some history and prestige. Ever since he came of age, he has basically spent every holiday in this area, and... every time, it's with a different woman..."

He deliberately drew out his voice, and by the end, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but show an expression of surprise.

Spending every holiday in this area?

You really couldn't tell; that kid is so young, yet he's a "habitual offender"!

Thinking that she had almost "fallen for it," a look of embarrassment quickly flashed across Cai Xiaotang's face.

"So that's how it is... I really couldn't tell..."

She replied casually, not wanting to continue talking about this matter, and hurriedly changed the subject: "By the way, what do you want to do tomorrow?"

"I'll listen to you."

Li Xiao answered without a second thought.

It wasn't that he hadn't been to this city before; he could practically say he knew it inside and out.

So no matter what they did, as long as he was with the person beside him, it was fine.

Cai Xiaotang paused slightly and didn't ask further.

Her heart was naturally thinking exactly the same thing as Li Xiao.

For the next three days, the two of them played through almost every place they could go here.

Whether it was the shopping malls in the city center, the large and small beaches, or the ancient streets, they even specifically set aside time to go climb a mountain!

Neither of them mentioned the so-called "divorce trip" again; the two of them were like the best of friends, traveling together every day.

Li Xiao never made any "overstepping" moves, always keeping a little distance from Cai Xiaotang.

Until the fourth day—Cai Xiaotang really didn't know where else they could go.

And... she was a little tired.

Their itinerary for the past two days was even more rushed than a tour group!

But right now, only an excuse like a "divorce trip" allowed them to be together in a logical way.

The rest of the time, the two of them stayed in their respective rooms; the atmosphere was inexplicably harmonious, yet also a bit awkward.

Cai Xiaotang sat on the sofa, lost in thought, pondering what they should do today.

On the other side—Li Xiao was also pondering the same question.

Unable to think of where else they could go today, he simply opened his phone and searched randomly.

After typing a few simple lines, rows of information instantly popped up on the screen.

【Ten things couples must do on a date!】

【Twelve places you must go with your girlfriend!】

Eye-catching titles like these practically crowded the screen.

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow, clicked on one at random, and began to read it carefully.

After reading two lines, his eyes instantly lit up!

This place...

It was truly somewhere he had not thought of before!

Li Xiao thought to himself, then hurriedly got up and went to the room across the hall to "drag" Cai Xiaotang out.

"Have you decided where to go?"

Cai Xiaotang saw that he seemed to be somewhat impatient.

Immediately after, she saw him wink at her very mysteriously:

"I've decided. You'll know when we get there."

Cai Xiaotang was even more puzzled, and her curiosity had been successfully piqued, so she could only guess while following Li Xiao out the door.

Half an hour later—the car took several turns and stopped by the side of a road that looked somewhat quiet.

"This is..."

Cai Xiaotang looked out the car window in confusion and discovered that outside the car door was a shop that did not look small in scale.

However, the sign was pure black, with only a few ambiguous English letters spray-painted in large white paint, looking somewhat strangely eerie.

"We aren't going in here, are we?"

She cautiously peered inside through the crack in the shop door.

But she discovered that the lighting inside was also dim.

Immediately after, she heard—"That's right, it's here. You don't dare to go in?"

A trace of a smile flashed in Li Xiao's eyes.

Sure enough, this simplest of goading tactics was always the most effective on a certain someone.

Cai Xiaotang let out a soft huff almost immediately, deliberately saying nonchalantly:

"Who says I don't dare? Let's go."

As she spoke, she had already walked toward the entrance with a calm expression, though she was already incredibly curious inside.

Anyway, Li Xiao couldn't sell her off!

She wanted to see what exactly they did inside!
