So Pure, So Flirtatious

Chapter 599: A Temple Fair Visit with Pretty Girl Lin

“You should quickly go find it, and then change into it!” Shen Yueping commanded. “It will be great if you wore the same outfit as Yang Ming!”

“Ah? There is no need for it… Wouldn’t it be inappropriate if the others notice it?” Lin Zhiyun didn’t want to trouble Yang Ming. She was just Yang Ming’s nominal girlfriend. If she was seen by his genuine girlfriend, Chen Mengyan, wouldn’t they be done for?

“How can it be inappropriate? Both of you are wearing a couple’s outfit. Who else can say anything about it?” Shen Yueping said in disapproval. “Is this not a normal thing? Go and change. Be obedient!”

Lin Zhiyun had no choice but to stand up and return to her bedroom to change clothes. After a long time, she finally finished changing after she was scolded by Shen Yueping.

However, Lin Zhiyun, who wore the same outfit as Yang Ming, was well-matched to him. They were really a lovely young couple and even more so like the celebrities on the TV who gave blessings for a Happy Chinese New Year.

“Is Uncle Lin alright recently?” Yang Ming sat on the couch and chatted with Lin Zhiyun’s parents.

“I’m fine. I just don’t know what to do. I was nearly cheated by Wu Chiren a while ago. I have been resting at home during this time. But I can’t help myself. I’m going to find something to do after the Chinese New Year. Also, I’m an adult with hands and feet intact. I can’t just always stay at home doing nothing!”

“But, taking a break for a while is good.” Yang Ming nodded. “If you don’t have enough money, you can tell me. I still have some.”

“How can I do that…” Lin Changqing quickly refused. “You have helped our family a lot. How can I trouble you anymore?”

“Uncle Lin, your words are treating me like a stranger. With my relationship with Lin Zhiyun, you’re my future father-in-law…” Yang Ming said.

Lin Zhiyun heard Yang Ming’s words and she was shocked by it all of a sudden. I wonder why Yang Ming said this. The future father-in-law? Really?

Just when Lin Zhiyun was entranced by her thoughts, Yang Ming had finished talking with Lin Changqing. He stood up and said to Lin Zhiyun, “Let’s go. We are strolling around the temple fair! I noticed that on TV there was a great review of it.”

“Ah… alright…” Lin Zhiyun was watching the introduction of the temple fair on the TV. When she heard Yang Ming, she was immediately surprised and happy.

Shen Yueping naturally agreed to it very much. She instructed Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun to have fun.

After they came out from the door of Lin Zhiyun’s house, Lin Zhiyun asked abruptly, “Why are you wearing this outfit? What if you’re seen by the others?”

“Seen by the others? Didn’t your mom say it is fine?” Yang Ming smiled.

“It is fine for me, but not for you!” Lin Zhiyun said. “I’m worried for you. If your girlfriend sees it, what can you do?”

“Ha, it’s fine. She isn’t going out today.” Yang Ming smiled and said. “I did it intentionally so that your mother sees how much I value you.”

“Ai…” Lin Zhiyun suddenly sighed. “Yang Ming… with our current state… what do we do in the future?”

“What do we do in the future?” Yang Ming didn’t understand Lin Zhiyun’s intention.

“I mean… you make my family really think that you’re my boyfriend… What can I do in the future?” Lin Zhiyun explained with a blush.

“What do you mean I make them really think so?” Yang Ming squinted and asked. “Isn’t it you who wanted me to act more realistically? Also, do you want your parents to suspect that I’m acting?”

“Aiya… I don’t mean that.” Lin Zhiyun said incoherently, “Really… I mean, you’re doing a bit too much now, right?”

“Is it still good? Don’t you want to have this effect?” Yang Ming laughed.

“But… now, my dad and my mom really think that you’re quite good. They treat you as… as my future husband…” Lin Zhiyun hurriedly said, “Isn’t it a problem if it continues?”

“How is it a problem?” Yang Ming asked deliberately.

“Really… you’re pissing me off!” Lin Zhiyun blushed. “What about Chen Mengyan?”

“What to do? What does she have to do with you?” Yang Ming said with a blank face.

“I don’t want to talk to you… I really can’t understand you…” Lin Zhiyun almost rolled her eyes out of annoyance. Does Yang Ming really get it or not?

“Hehe, I understand what you mean. You meant that the relationship between the two of us is just an act. If there is a day when the truth is revealed, you can’t explain it to your parents, right?” Yang Ming said with a smile.

“It turns out that you are deliberately annoying me!” Lin Zhiyun subconsciously extended a small fist to Yang Ming. “You are really annoying!”

However, Lin Zhiyun stopped immediately. My action and tone seem too flirtatious. If we are a couple, it is still alright. The most important thing is that we are a fake couple!

“Hehe, I didn’t want to annoy. I suddenly realized it.” Yang Ming gave an excuse.

“Forget it. I’m too lazy to pursue it. That is right; that is what I meant… In the future, what do we do?” Lin Zhiyun said.

“You can say that we broke up. You dumped me.” Yang Ming deliberately teased Lin Zhiyun.

“You are not being serious. In that case, my mother will kill me!” Lin Zhiyun said with a bitter face, “I have mentioned it to you. My mother is very conservative. If she knew we had done that [1], she wouldn’t let me break up with you! Also, you’re so nice. Even if I did break up with you, I need to have a reason, right?”

Lin Zhiyun put her words in an ambiguous manner. She thought that Yang Ming wouldn’t think much about it, but in fact, Yang Ming understood everything including what Lin Zhiyun was referring to.

“Being unfaithful?” Yang Ming suggested.

“…Who do I shift my affection to?” Lin Zhiyun shook her head. “Your reason is too far-fetched.”

“Then… how about you say that I was unfaithful and I dumped you?” Yang Ming asked.

“Then, my mom will be coming for you. My mom hates unfaithful men the most.” Lin Zhiyun reluctantly said, “Yang Ming, can’t you say something more feasible?”

“I can only think of this! Or, let’s say that we broke up peacefully?” Yang Ming looked at Lin Zhiyun and asked.

“…Besides breaking up, is there any other way?” Lin Zhiyun sighed. “My parents won’t be able to accept it…”

“Ai, I can only think of these ideas right now…” Yang Ming said regretfully, “In addition to these, it is either you are dead or I’m dead. There is really no other way…”

“Can’t you say something auspicious during the New Year?” Lin Zhiyun said in annoyance.

“Fine. The car in front is really beautiful!” Yang Ming said.

“…What does this have to do with being auspicious?” Lin Zhiyun was speechless.

“It does! That car is a Geely [2].” Yang Ming said in a serious manner, “A Geely CK, this car is quite good.”

“…” Lin Zhiyun was annoyed.

“I’m just kidding. Let me think about it again. There is always a solution.” Yang Ming continued, “I’m not in a hurry anyway. I will think of an appropriate approach.”

In fact, there was already a solution in Yang Ming’s mind, but it wasn’t a good time to say it. The solution was simple. He would make Lin Zhiyun his actual girlfriend!

Anyway, with regard to Chen Mengyan, I have already hinted it. Although it isn’t easy to get her to accept it, at least there is this possibility. I just have to work hard.

“Alright.” Lin Zhiyun nodded. Now, it seems that this is the only way.

The location of the temple fair wasn’t far from Lin Zhiyun’s home. It was near the business street. In fact, it was comprised of several different marketplaces. In the past, the so-called market had been similar to the temple fair.

The temple fair was divided into four parts: business street, entertainment street, performance street, and snack street. In fact, the four streets adjacent to the business street were temporarily turned into the temple fair.

On the first day of the Chinese New Year, it was the day when the temple fair was the most crowded. There was a vast crowd with great congestion. However, the atmosphere was very lively. During the coldest time of the year, it was still full of people.

Lin Zhiyun was behind Yang Ming as they walked into the front of the temple fair on the business street along with the crowd. Yang Ming looked back at Lin Zhiyun, fearing that she would be lost in the crowd. Hence, he stretched out and held her hand.

Lin Zhiyun’s face was slightly blushed, but she didn’t struggle. She didn’t know whether Yang Ming was intentional or unintentional. However, what could she do regardless if it was intentional or not?

The two of them dressed in couple vests while holding hands, just like other couples walking in the temple fair.

Yang Ming had come once to the temple fair when he was a child. At that the time, he was brought here by his mom and dad. After he went to school, he was busy, and he never dropped by again. However, the temple fair in Song Jiang was doing better, even the one in the provincial capital, Donghai, couldn’t match it.
