“Qianshu!”
Chu Qianshu replied with a sentence.
She didn’t often use her surname outside to avoid being associated with the Chu family and bringing trouble to herself.
In fact, children from prominent families like hers usually didn’t use their real names when they went to school.
It was only after she went abroad to study that the Chu surname became less sensitive for her, and she revealed her true name to the public.
But since they were in the capital, Chu Qianshu decided to keep her surname hidden for now.
Zeng Keyi didn’t think much of it.
After ail, it was only their second meeting, and it would be strange if he could completely trust her. So, he nodded with a smile after she mentioned her name, “That’s a nice name.”
Chu Qianshu lowered her head slightly, blushing and smiling.
Chu Xiaomeng looked at her and spoke, “Auntie, are you shy?”
Chu Qianshu,”?”
Zeng Keyi also smiled slightly and then turned to her, “Uncle, do you like Auntie?”
Zeng Keyi,”?”
What’s going on with this kid?
Just as he was about to instinctively deny, he saw Chu Qianshu also looking at him expectantly, her face flushed.
Zeng Keyi was immediately captivated.
Chu Qianshu glanced at him and immediately scolded Chu Xiaomeng, “Xiaomeng, say less. You’re just a little kid. What do you know about liking someone and being shy?”
“I know. Liking someone means both people want to be together, just like how my daddy likes my mommy! Biologically, we call it the attraction of hormones…”
Chu Xiaomeng was unlike other kids. She had been self-studying human anatomy. If she continued, it might involve inappropriate content for children!
Chu Qianshu coughed to interrupt her and said, “Alright, let’s eat. Let’s not talk about this.”
Chu Xiaomeng retorted, “But didn’t you ask me?”
Chu Qianshu finally pulled out her trump card, “I have some research material here. Do you want to take a look?”
Chu Xiaomeng’s eyes lit up, and she held onto her phone, no longer interjecting.
Chu Qianshu sighed in relief and turned her gaze back to Zeng Keyi, “This child is obsessed with research. Don’t mind her random chatter…”
Unexpectedly, as she said this, Zeng Keyi spoke up, “Actually, I think she’s not just randomly talking…”
Chu Qianshu was taken aback.
Zeng Keyi cleared his throat, “Alright, Qianshu, I do feel somewhat favorably toward you. I can say that 1 like you. But I’m not sure if we’re compatible. If you… don’t find me repulsive, maybe we could give it a try?”
Chu Qianshu,”!”
She didn’t expect Zeng Keyi to be so direct, which made her face even redder. She was at a loss for words.
Zeng Keyi coughed again, “Both our families are pushing us to get married, so I know that after today, our fate might be sealed. I just want to give it a shot…”
Chu Qianshu wasn’t worried about her family pressuring her to get married, as her parents had said it was just going through the motions.
But hearing Zeng Keyi’s words, she felt that maybe giving it a try wasn’t such a bad idea.
Chu Qianshu nodded.
Zeng Keyi’s face lit up, and he said excitedly, “After dinner, how about we go watch a movie together?”
“Sure…”
Chu Qianshu also smiled.
After their meal, they acted like a newly established couple, shyly taking Chu Xiaomeng to watch a movie.
It should have been a sweet date, but unfortunately, there are always people who don’t appreciate the mood.
Because of Chu Xiaomeng, they ended up watching a disaster movie with a touch of romance in it.
The movie’s theme was about protecting the Earth and saving it, hinting at the excessive damage to the environment.
They even depicted a tropical rainforest catching fire and the main characters leading others to put out the flames…
The female lead got stuck in the fire accidentally, and the male lead rushed in to save her…
Of course, they succeeded in the end.
The male and female leads exchanged smiles and embraced each other.
The audience was filled with sobs.
Young couples held hands and gazed into each other’s eyes.
Even Chu Qianshu, who usually disliked such movies, didn’t find fault with it today, as she was under the influence of love.
As she and Zeng Keyi shared a tender moment, Chu Xiaomeng suddenly piped up, “This movie is so unscientific!”
“The jungle fire is hard to extinguish, and their fire extinguishers are insignificant for such a large blaze. If it were so easy to put out the fire, how could the forest burn for so long in reality?”
Chu Qianshu,”??”
Chu Xiaomeng continued, “And the ending is too unscientific too. No one can survive in such high temperatures…”
Finally, she critiqued, “This movie is wrong. Humans are not protecting the Earth. The Earth has endured even the extinction of dinosaurs without being destroyed. If humans go extinct, the Earth won’t be destroyed either. So, all the efforts humans make to preserve the Earth are just for their own protection!”
Chu Qianshu,”!!!”
Child! I brought you to watch a movie, not to fact-check it!!
Even the bookworm Chu Qianshu felt something was off.
She immediately hugged Chu Xiaomeng, covering her mouth, and hurriedly left the movie theater with Zeng Keyi…
Finally, Zeng Keyi looked at Chu Qianshu with a smile, “Girlfriend, what’s your full name? Shouldn’t you tell me now?”
