On the night before the date, my mind has already started to imagine the situation of our date tomorrow. After five or six days of preparation, I told Su Yuqian that we will meet at 9 o'clock at the entrance of Yuhua Metro Station before Monday. As for where to go, I have thought about parks, cinemas, hot springs, and aquariums, but either the route is too far and likely to cause time congestion, or it's too monotonous, and I don't think there will be awkward moments. So I compromised and chose to go to an amusement park. We can take the train at Yuhua Metro Station, go two stops, and then find the amusement park according to the map on our phones.

In addition to finding the location for our date, I also collected some information about the three stages of development during a date from the internet. The first stage is holding hands, the second stage is kissing, and let's forget about the third stage of booking a room. I also gathered some things to pay attention to, such as the guy should be more caring and considerate. I will figure out those things later.

"I'm really looking forward to our date tomorrow," I'm so excited that I can't sleep. As soon as it was just getting light outside, I woke up, but I didn't rush to get up.

After an hour, I got up. The hands of the clock were pointing at 7 o'clock. I went to the sink to wash my face and brush my teeth. It seemed like Zhiye also woke up half an hour earlier than me. She was wearing an apron and preparing breakfast, while Zhiye rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked over to the sink.

"Jerry...good morning," Feiya greeted me sleepily.

"Good morning, Feiya," I replied.

Feiya walked to the sink and took out her toothbrush, applied toothpaste and started brushing her teeth. After washing up, Zhiye also put the prepared breakfast on the table.

Breakfast consisted of fried eggs and toast. I spread some honey sauce on the toast. The rich aroma and sweetness of honey exploded in my mouth along with the toast, it tasted really delicious.

After finishing breakfast, it was 7:25 am. After Zhiye washed the dishes, she took off her apron.

At 7:35 am, Zhiye changed her clothes and held a beautiful covered bamboo basket in her hand, while Feiya was wearing her winter school uniform.

"Jerry, do you want to come with us?" Zhiye suddenly asked me, which made me a little panicked.

"It's too cold outside, and I feel a little under the weather. I want to rest at home, Zhiye, you go ahead," I pretended to have a slight cold.

"In that case, Jerry, you rest at home. I saved some sandwiches for lunch, so grab them if you get hungry," Zhiye said.

"Okay," I nodded.

"We're leaving now," Zhiye held Feiya's hand with her free hand.

"Goodbye," I waved.

"Goodbye, Jerry," Feiya waved.

After the door closed, I held my breath and didn't start celebrating. After a few minutes, when I was sure that they had really left, I couldn't help but shout excitedly, "Great!" Then I started to prepare quickly.

As for what to wear, for the first date, I should dress up decently and not be too shabby. But I really have no idea about dressing up. So I could only put on a set of clothes that I thought would be passable - a black coat, scarf, black pants, an all-black outfit, and I tried to style my slightly messy hair with mousse. Looking at my hairstyle in the mirror, I still felt a bit ashamed to look at it directly.

I looked at my phone and realized that I had unintentionally wasted quite a bit of time. It was already 8:30 am. If I kept procrastinating, I would be late, so I didn't care too much, ran to the entrance, made sure I had my wallet and tissues, and then put on my shoes and left home to run to Yuhua Metro Station.

The journey took about fifteen minutes. If I ran, it should shorten the time by five or six minutes.

It was indeed very cold outside, the air was a bit dry, and the cold wind made my cheeks sting a little. I exhaled a large amount of mist from my mouth. I ran on the sparsely populated streets, it could be because of the cold weather, or maybe this time wasn't rush hour for work. Panting heavily, I finally arrived at the entrance of Yuhua Metro Station. I could clearly see the stairs leading down in front of me.

I glanced around and noticed that there was a lamp post not far from the entrance. Under the lamp post stood someone wearing a white dress, draped in a white coat, and wearing a pair of white snow boots. She looked like a white elf, and of course, her hairstyle with those golden twin tails was a surefire way to identify her. Maybe because of the cold, she was rubbing her hands and hunching her neck."Your Highness, you came really early," I ran over and greeted her with a smile.

She saw my face turning slightly red and said dissatisfied, "Stupid Jerry, you're really late."

"I was delayed by some trivial matters, so I arrived late," I smiled awkwardly.

"It's just like a girl... Achoo!" Su Yuqian muttered, then sneezed, with some snot dripping out.

Now the tissues came in handy. I took out a tissue and handed it to her. She looked at it and then took it, forcefully blowing her nose.

"Mmm... I feel a bit better now," she murmured and then threw the tissue with the snot into the trash can.

"Your Highness, shall we take the subway?" I urged, not noticing that I was walking ahead alone.

"You really have no manners. Don't you know that you should let the host walk ahead?" she remarked.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," I quickly apologized.

"Alright, Your Highness, please," I made a gesture of invitation.

"That's more like it," she muttered and started walking downstairs. I followed closely behind.
