President, please comfort me.

After going downstairs, I saw Tang Chao's tall and slender figure standing by the car at the entrance. Unlike yesterday's suit and tie, today he was wearing a light blue casual suit and black sunglasses. His cool demeanor was so striking that it was hard to look directly at him, and he even had a bit of an uncle vibe.

"Dad, Mom, Brother, I'm not eating breakfast. I'm going out with my friends today and will be home later." Lanling hurriedly finished saying these words, which she had already said countless times in her mind, and ran out of the yard without looking back.

Lan's mother had no idea what kind of trouble she was up to this time. She usually slept until late morning, but today she was acting out of character. She sighed and said, "Oh, this child, I don't know what she's in such a hurry to do so early in the morning. She's so impetuous."

Watching her retreating figure, Lan's father calmed down a bit: "Didn't you say you were going out with friends? Don't worry, it's not like you're with your boyfriend. There's no need to be too concerned."

Lan Zhan was drinking his soup when he was suddenly choked. Although he knew what was going on, he didn't betray his sister. He took a tissue, wiped his mouth, and continued to eat his breakfast silently.

Lanling, carrying her bag and wearing high heels, rushed towards the Tang Dynasty as soon as she stepped out of the gate.

Tang Chao opened his arms like a tall, upright pine tree, and Lanling, without thinking, hugged his strong waist.

She looked up at him, her eyes sparkling, her dimples appearing like delicate ornaments, adding a touch of playfulness and cuteness to her beauty: "I miss you."

Tang Chao smiled, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he lowered his head to give her cherry-like lips a light peck, whispering softly, "I miss you too."

"Have you had breakfast?" Tang Chao asked, turning his head as he led her to the car.

Lanling's face was still flushed: "Not yet."

"Let's have breakfast first, and then we'll go for a stroll in the newly opened island garden by the sea halfway up the mountain."

"We can gather around a stove to brew tea, or grill over charcoal. There's also a special concert in the evening, so the atmosphere is quite lively," Tang Chao said calmly, outlining today's plans.

"Or is there anywhere else you'd like to go?"

Lanling was too excited last night and didn't have time to think about today's date location. She smiled and said, "No, I'll listen to you. Let's go to the place you mentioned. It sounds pretty good."

Tang Chao freed one hand and pinched the cheek where the princess cut her short hair on either side of her ears, saying affectionately, "Okay, I'll listen to the little princess."

Lanling pouted her luscious red lips, like a little strawberry, and said smugly, "Then you'd better hold this princess in the palm of your hand and take good care of her."

Tang Chao replied loudly, "Yes, sir!"

Tang Chao learned from Wen Qi that Lanling liked Cantonese dim sum, so he took her to a Cantonese dim sum restaurant. Lanling was delighted and even more excited for their date.

An hour later, after finishing breakfast, the two arrived at the island garden. Tang Chao naturally took Lanling's hand and led her through the entrance archway, his big hand holding her small hand tightly.

Walking on the bluestone slabs and round stepping stones, looking at the many kinds of beautiful flowers along the way and the colorful balloons floating freely in the summer breeze, Lanling couldn't help but ask, "How did you know about this place?"

"Last night I looked at some travel guides for Xiamen and asked some friends here," Tang Chao said casually.

In fact, he used some connections last night to have the decorations and environment here improved overnight, creating some small surprises, all to make a good impression on Lanling during their first date.

"It's so beautiful! Look, we can even see the azure sea in the distance!" The further they went, the more excited Lanling became, pointing to the boundless sea in the distance, her voice getting louder.

Tang Chao smiled and said, "Yes, we can watch the sunset and the sea view in the evening. Later in the evening, when the lights come on, we can watch movies at the campsite. There are many activities to do here."

Lanling stopped in her tracks, looking at him with a mocking smile. Her eyes narrowed into slits as she pouted and brought up old grievances: "Watching a movie? Didn't someone say they didn't like watching movies?"

Tang Chao paused for a moment, then smiled faintly: "You little girl, you have a pretty good memory."

He reached out and put his arm around Lanling, then raised his other hand to gently pinch her cheek, saying ingratiatingly, "It's my fault, I admit my mistake, okay?"

Lanling let him do as he pleased. Her mouth could only be pouting high because he was pinching the flesh on her face. Her eyes were also extremely arrogant, clearly showing that she wanted him to coax her.

"Come on, let me take you over there to play with bubbles, kids love it." Tang Chao couldn't help but laugh at her expression, and continued walking with her, his tone incredibly doting.

Lanling chuckled, revealing a set of neat white teeth, and said in a deliberately affected manner, "I'm not a child anymore, I have a boyfriend."

"Really? Which man has such good taste and is so lucky?" Tang Chao played along with her, and the two of them, laughing and joking, actually went to the bubble-blowing area.

Lanling, like a little king of the kids, pouted and blew bubbles among a group of children, while Tang Chao obediently took out his phone to take pictures of her.

Later, he took her to play shooting and go-karting. In the end, Lanling even dragged him along, and the two of them took some vintage-style couple photo booth pictures together.

Tired from playing, Lanling sat on a rattan chair by the roadside admiring the photos. Tang Chao stood beside her, handing her water and tidying her messy hair: "Are you tired? Let's go have lunch."

Lanling looked up: "Yeah, I just searched online, and everyone says the beef stir-fried udon and pineapple beef ribs here are delicious. I want to try them too."

Tang Chao gently patted her head, the golden sunlight bathing him, and he smiled tenderly: "Let's go."

Tang Chao took Lanling to the camping table that had been reserved in advance, in an open courtyard surrounded on three sides by a wooden fence and facing the sea.

The swing sofa, animal figurines, and windmill in the courtyard greatly enhanced Lanling's sense of happiness. Especially when she saw the bird's nest-shaped rattan recliner, she felt as if she had entered Alice's garden today, and a sense of satisfaction lingered in her heart, followed by a touch of sweetness.

She sat down in the wicker chair, leaned back, and enjoyed the sunshine, the breeze, and the tranquility around her, feeling relaxed and content.

A lazy voice rang out: "This feels so good. I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time. I love being here."

Tang Chao sat opposite her, watching her leisurely demeanor, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips, his voice slow and relaxed: "You like it so much? Let's come again next time."

Lanling closed her eyes and said, "Yes, let's invite all of them. It'll be more fun with more people."

"it is good."

At this moment, Lanling was unaware that the next time she came, she would no longer be a customer but the owner, because Tang Chao had the shop acquired as soon as he returned to the capital and gave it to her as one of her birthday gifts.
