Chapter 218: Where is your hand?

It had to be said, this Li Shanshan, who usually had an arrogant face, wearing such a hat with a happy smile on her face, really looked cute at first glance, as if she had suddenly turned into a little girl in her early twenties, making Zhao Desan unable to help but look and nod in praise: "Good-looking, it really looks good."

Li Shanshan laughed, took his arm, wove through the crowd, and strolled slowly along the street. Zhao Desan rarely went shopping, and he hadn't experienced such a lively and noisy scene for several years. Being taken by her arm and strolling around, a faint sense of happiness inexplicably surged in his heart.

If only he could accompany Ma Lan to stroll in this lively scene, how good that would be, he thought. However, Li Shanshan beside him wasn't bad either; her figure was exquisite, her face was beautiful, and she was also a focus in the crowd. The men passing by were all looking at her sideways.

Almost every store was playing Christmas songs, making this bustling street look even more filled with a peaceful and happy atmosphere.

Walking and walking, Zhao Desan suddenly had a strange feeling. He glanced sideways at a group of girls passing by and discovered that Ma Ting was among them. They brushed past each other, but fortunately, there were too many people, and Ma Ting didn't notice him.

"Which beauty are you looking at?" Li Shanshan tugged at his arm, looked back along his gaze, and saw that it was a group of little girls wearing high school uniforms. She said with disdain, "Zhao Desan, your appetite is really not ordinary! Even high school girls interest you!"

"Where! I was looking at the scarves for sale." He made up a lie casually, thinking to himself that Ma Ting seemed to have recovered to normal from the shadow of being raped, otherwise she wouldn't have come out to join in the fun with her classmates. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel much more at ease about Ma Ting. He had always been worried that she had suffered that incident and would cause indelible trauma to her psychology.

"Is that so?" Li Shanshan asked with a mischievous smile.

"Mm." Zhao Desan nodded as if nothing had happened.

"Let's go, let's go take a look." Li Shanshan pulled him to the scarf stall, picked out a gray men's scarf, draped it around his neck, looked him up and down, and smiled with satisfaction: "This scarf suits you quite well." Without waiting for Zhao Desan's evaluation, she turned around and paid the vendor.

"I want to buy it myself, I'll pay for it." Zhao Desan took the benefit and still acted like he was complaining.

"Consider it a gift from me," Li Shanshan said with a smile, watching the man she liked wearing the scarf she bought for him, her heart feeling as sweet as if it had been filled with honey.

"Then thanks." Zhao Desan said with a light laugh.

"You're too polite, I just gave you a scarf, now your neck isn't cold, right?" Li Shanshan said a bit coyly.

"Mm, very warm, it warmed my heart." Zhao Desan took the opportunity to put his arm around her fragrant shoulder, which could be considered a gentle reward for her.

This action made Li Shanshan feel extremely sweet, her face overflowing with a happy smile, and she leaned tightly against him. The flow of people on the street was like weaving, and this action was very normal in such an atmosphere, completely looking like a couple of intimate lovers.

"Let's go." Zhao Desan didn't like everyone's eyes falling on the two of them, so he pushed her shoulder, and she stood up straight, looking at him with a face like a peach blossom, and said sweetly, "Let's go eat something, I'm a bit hungry."

"Then let's go!" Zhao Desan put his arm around her fragrant shoulder and walked forward together, "What shall we eat?"

"Mm..." Li Shanshan thought for a moment, looked around at the shops on the street, saw McDonald's, and said, "McDonald's, how about it?"

"Whatever, I'll listen to you." Zhao Desan laughed and walked into McDonald's with her.

"I'll go find a seat, buy whatever you want to eat yourself." After entering the door, he let go of Li Shanshan, found a seat by the window, sat down, and waited for her to go buy things.

Sitting down now, the store was relatively quiet, and he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. Someone was calling him. He took out his phone in confusion and discovered it was a call from Ma Lan. It wasn't convenient to answer now, so he hung up and sent her a message saying he was in a meeting at the bureau and it wasn't convenient to answer the phone.

After a while, Li Shanshan brought a tray of food over, and he put away his phone and shared the food with her.

Li Shanshan was in a pleasant mood today and had a great appetite. She ordered a lot of food and looked at Zhao Desan with a flowery smile while eating. That ambiguous look made him feel a bit uncomfortable, but he still remained calm and pretended to be his usual calm self to deal with the electric almond eyes of Li Shanshan opposite him.

"Zhao Desan, do you... plan to find a girlfriend?" When Li Shanshan asked this, her earlobes were red, and she lowered her eyelids slightly, putting on a shy little woman's look.

"This..." Zhao Desan deliberately scratched his hair and sold a pass, wanting to see her reaction.

"Tell me quickly!" Li Shanshan grabbed his sleeve and shook it, pouting and frowning, like a spoiled little girl, extremely impatient.

"This... mm... not sure yet." Zhao Desan said.

"Why?" Li Shanshan asked him with some disappointment, "What do you think of me? Being your girlfriend."

"Stop joking, what kind of person am I, how dare I climb high to reach you, Secretary Li."

"Cut! You don't speak seriously." Li Shanshan curled her lips and rolled her eyes, but she was a woman with a great figure and appearance after all. The men chasing her could circle Yuyang City once holding hands. She was confident that as long as she wanted to be with Zhao Desan, he couldn't resist the temptation of her charm. Being able to accompany her shopping three or four times already explained the problem.

"Where are we going after dinner?" Zhao Desan changed the subject and asked her, not wanting to get entangled in the previous topic. From the bottom of his heart, if he were to find a wife, being able to find a woman like Li Shanshan who had excellent work ability and understood the sentiment of life would really be a blessing. But he didn't want to consider these things now, but rather put his career in the first place.

"Go to the bar."

"What are we going to that place for? It's too noisy." Zhao Desan shook his head, not wanting to go.

"I've already booked a seat! We must go!" Li Shanshan pouted and looked at him domineeringly.

"Alright, alright, if we go, we go." Seeing that she was happy today, Zhao Desan didn't want to disturb her interest, so he reluctantly agreed.

After eating, Li Shanshan took his arm and walked out of McDonald's, wove through the crowded and lively crowd, and went to the bar.

On Christmas Eve, Jiefang Road was truly lively, with neon lights flashing, crowds of people weaving, and prosperity and noise.

A poster of Chen Xiaochun's performance was posted at the entrance of the bar. As soon as Li Shanshan saw it, she let out a "Wow" of joy, pulled Zhao Desan to the poster, and said in surprise, "It's Chen Xiaochun, I like him the most, hurry in, hurry in, it will be crowded inside in a moment."

Zhao Desan was truly helpless. He was pulled by her and followed the groups of three or five people into the bar.

As soon as he walked into the bar, it was like coming to another world. The neon lights in the bar were flashing, the music was deafening, and colorful lights swept past his eyes from time to time. It was already crowded with people, a scene of extreme liveliness, and the atmosphere was extremely strong.

Li Shanshan pulled Zhao Desan through the crowd, found the booked booth, sat down close to him, and the waiter followed with a wine list for them to order wine.
