MFIMM Chapter 4

## Dating

Pei Jiashu didn’t give Lin Xi any chance to refuse. The next morning, he arrived at the entrance of his neighborhood on time again. This time, Lin Xi didn’t answer Pei Jiashu’s call, hanging up quickly.

While changing clothes, he roared at his phone, “I’ll be right out!”

Then, he rushed out in a flurry.

Pei Jiashu leaned against the car door. Unlike yesterday’s shirt and suit, he was wearing casual jeans today, paired with a simple white T-shirt and a light blue gradient shirt. Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought he was some innocent college student.

Lin Xi glanced down at himself. He had grabbed two pieces of clothing in his haste to leave, which happened to be jeans and a white T-shirt as well.

Matching outfits? Even dogs wouldn’t wear that.

He immediately turned around to go back, but Pei Jiashu spotted him. Pei Jiashu ran over in a few steps, grabbing the back of his collar. Lin Xi flailed his legs, unable to take another step forward.

“What are you doing?” Lin Xi turned his head, glaring at Pei Jiashu.

Pei Jiashu released his hand at the right moment, looking Lin Xi up and down. “Why are you running?”

“None of your business,” Lin Xi retorted subconsciously. Seeing the playful look in Pei Jiashu’s eyes, he became even more indignant. He averted his gaze. “I’m going back to change clothes.”

“This is fine,” Pei Jiashu pulled him towards the car. “Matching outfits are perfect for taking photos.”

“Taking photos?” Before Pei Jiashu could get close, Lin Xi quickly fastened his seat belt. Looking at his bare face in the rearview mirror, he said in despair, “I’m not wearing makeup. No photos.”

Pei Jiashu took out a mask and threw it onto his lap. “Don’t worry, it won’t show your face.”

Lin Xi sighed in relief and put on the mask. His face was small, and the mask instantly covered most of it, revealing only a pair of round eyes.

Pei Jiashu glanced at Lin Xi, who was wrapped up tightly, and suddenly became interested. He asked, “Even if it did show your face, it wouldn’t matter, right? You could take advantage of our official announcement to start a live stream. With that gimmick, it’s only a matter of time before you become popular.”

His voice was lazy, like a demon tempting people.

The atmosphere in the car became strange for a moment. Pei Jiashu was also curious about what kind of answer Lin Xi would give. Someone who would sell their marriage for a job wouldn’t find it strange to go to any lengths to become popular.

But Lin Xi looked at Pei Jiashu in horror. “Hey, hey, hey, we agreed on a secret marriage!”

If his parents found out that he had secretly married another man, they would break his leg.

Pei Jiashu looked at Lin Xi’s pupils, which were dilated with anger and fear. The color of his pupils was very dark, and his eyes were round, always making people want to tease him to see if there could be more emotions in those eyes.

“But don’t you want to be popular? Are you satisfied with just a few hundred fans?”

There was a traffic light ahead, and Pei Jiashu stopped the car, staring straight at Lin Xi, leaving Lin Xi nowhere to hide.

He watched Lin Xi lower his head in front of him, looking thoughtful.

A secret elation rose in his heart. Just agree to his conditions like this, just tie himself to his boat like this.

The green light came on, and the cars behind couldn’t wait and honked impatiently, but Pei Jiashu was still slowly pressing Lin Xi, “Have you thought about it?”

Lin Xi suddenly woke up, grabbing the seat belt, leaning towards the window as inconspicuously as possible, and distancing himself from Pei Jiashu.

“It’s green, hurry up and go,” Lin Xi urged.

Pei Jiashu noticed Lin Xi’s movements and “hmph”-ed unhappily from his nose before starting the car.

Lin Xi took small breaths. Just now, Pei Jiashu suddenly came close, and the mint scent rushed into his nose, causing his brain to be unable to think at all, like he had inhaled catnip, shivering all over.

When he got out of the car, Lin Xi suddenly pressed on Pei Jiashu’s hand that was opening the seat belt, glaring at Pei Jiashu with his almond-shaped eyes, “What we said at the time is what we meant. If you dare to take a picture of my face and post it, we’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau again.”

After speaking, Lin Xi quickly pressed the seat belt, opened the car door and slipped out. As he left, Pei Jiashu still heard Lin Xi’s complaint: “Damn lunatic, really thinks he’s a treasure, everyone wants to take a bite!”

The touch on his hand gradually disappeared. Pei Jiashu leaned on the steering wheel, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but a breath was also unconsciously relieved from the depths of his heart.

Soon, he also got out of the car, walked to Lin Xi’s side in a few steps, and inserted his fingers into Lin Xi’s fingers. Lin Xi immediately looked like a cat whose fur had exploded, raising his tail and asking him, “What are you doing?”

“Let you get used to dating in advance.”

They were both handsome guys with long legs, attracting much attention on the street, especially when they were holding hands.

Feeling the gazes of other people, Lin Xi was glad that he was wearing a mask now, otherwise his face would definitely be as red as a monkey’s butt. He tugged Pei Jiashu’s hand with a very small movement, “Can we not hold hands?”

“Let’s go to the baby in front.” Pei Jiashu’s pace quickened. There was an ice cream shop in front. Pei Jiashu took him in and asked, “Baby, what do you want to eat?”

Lin Xi was so ashamed that he couldn’t lift his face. When he saw the menu, he realized that this was the internet celebrity shop he had always wanted to visit. There were many people in the shop at this time, all looking over here intentionally or unintentionally.

He hesitated, looking at two of them, wanting to eat both.

The person next to him seemed to be able to see his desire, and said playfully, “One strawberry and one chocolate, please.”

Pei Jiashu took Lin Xi to a corner, isolating other gazes.

Before long, the clerk brought two ice creams over.

Lin Xi fell into hesitation again, but before he could choose, Pei Jiashu took the chocolate one. His gaze followed the ice cream, and then Pei Jiashu smiled and brought the strawberry one over.

Lin Xi could only regretfully eat what was in his bowl, thinking about what was in the hands of the person across from him. He sighed, thinking about coming to eat the chocolate flavor next time.

But suddenly there was a spoon in front of him, with brown ice cream on it. Pei Jiashu held his cheek with his other hand, bent his head and looked at Lin Xi with a smile, “Baby, you eat.”

Lin Xi felt a chill, only to hear the person opposite him ask in lip language: “There is someone taking pictures across the street.”

Upholding his professional ethics, Lin Xi’s mouth curved up, using all his strength to clamp his throat, “Thank you, senior.”

Then he leaned over, biting the ice cream. The ice cream melted in his mouth, and the rich chocolate exploded in his mouth with coldness. Lin Xi’s body trembled slightly, not knowing whether it was because the chocolate was too cold or for other reasons.

However, Pei Jiashu still didn’t intend to let him go, pointed to Lin Xi’s ice cream, “Baby, I want to try yours too.”

No matter how many times he heard this title, Lin Xi shuddered.

But thinking that someone was filming, he still tried his best to endure it, learning from Pei Jiashu, and using his own spoon to feed Pei Jiashu.

Pei Jiashu lowered his head slightly, but his eyes kept looking at Lin Xi, stuck out his tongue and rolled the ice cream on the spoon. Lin Xi wanted to take the spoon away, but Pei Jiashu bit the spoon and ate all the ice cream on it.

Lin Xi’s face suddenly turned red, feeling that Pei Jiashu was teasing him, but he couldn’t produce any evidence, so he could only sulk.

The person opposite was calm and composed, and even in the mood to ask the photographer how the photos were, got an affirmative result, Pei Jiashu suddenly changed his face, the spoon that Lin Xi had bitten was ruthlessly thrown into the trash can by its owner.

Pei Jiashu called the waiter and asked the waiter to ask for two more spoons.

But looking at the ice cream that had been scooped, he also had no appetite, simply pushed it directly in front of Lin Xi.

Lin Xi stared blankly at Pei Jiashu, whose face had suddenly changed, his fingers pinching the spoon that Pei Jiashu had just given him, his strength so great that his fingers were a little numb.

“Hey, what are you still holding that spoon for?” Pei Jiashu put the new spoon in front of Lin Xi, Lin Xi immediately threw the spoon in his hand away like a hot potato.

After eating a bowl of ice cream, the sweet and greasy strawberry filled his taste buds, but the cold feeling extended all the way to his stomach. Lin Xi didn’t say a word and finished two bowls of ice cream.

The chocolate flavor was not delicious, a little crying.

He thought, I don’t want to come next time either.

After getting up from his seat, Pei Jiashu put on that mask again, smiling as he put his arm around Lin Xi’s shoulder, “Where shall we go next?”

Lin Xi didn’t speak. Even though he had long known Pei Jiashu’s true face, he was almost deceived by his mask. He didn’t blame Pei Jiashu, but scolded himself for being useless.

He didn’t want to go anywhere now, just wanted to go home.

But Pei Jiashu put his arm around his shoulder and led him forward without question, Lin Xi could only follow him.

“Act happier,” Pei Jiashu warned in Lin Xi’s ear.

Lin Xi felt angry, isn’t it just acting? Since Pei Jiashu hated him, then he would disgust Pei Jiashu to death.

Lin Xi’s hand hooked on Pei Jiashu’s arm, his whole body clinging to Pei Jiashu as if he had no bones, “Are you satisfied, brother?”

His voice rose at the end, with a bit of unwillingness to admit defeat.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the perfect fake smile on Pei Jiashu’s face freeze for a moment. He reached for Lin Xi’s hand, wanting to pull him away, but Lin Xi’s movements were faster than him, using his hand to cover Pei Jiashu’s hand.

Walk Pei Jiashu’s road and leave Pei Jiashu with no way to go.

But Lin Xi didn’t expect that Pei Jiashu would bring him to a jewelry store. As soon as they entered, someone came over to greet them. Pei Jiashu finally took the opportunity to shake off Lin Xi’s hand and walked straight to the diamond ring counter.

Lin Xi also joined in, looking at the dazzling array of diamond rings, pointing to the largest one at random, “This is so beautiful.”

Pei Jiashu didn’t even blink, and said straightforwardly, “Buy it.”

“Wait, I was just saying it casually,” Lin Xi hurriedly stopped Pei Jiashu from taking out his card, using the corner of his eye to count how many zeros were behind the diamond ring. This small thing actually cost 500,000.

He wanted to disgust Pei Jiashu, but it wouldn’t do to let Pei Jiashu spend so much money for him.

Lin Xi even opened his mouth, he could fit an egg in his mouth, Pei Jiashu put his arm around his waist, “Buy whatever you like.”

Then he said to the waiter: “Take out other diamonds and see, these are too ordinary.”

Lin Xi opened his mouth, he could fit an egg in his mouth, Pei Jiashu pinched his chin, forcibly stuffed his mouth in, and leaned into his ear and said: “There are still people filming behind, don’t show that kind of terribly ugly expression.”

Lin Xi glared at Pei Jiashu angrily, his fans had said that he was handsome in three hundred and sixty degrees, Pei Jiashu, the ignorant dog, actually said that he was terribly ugly.

After a while, the waiters brought out all the diamond rings, these diamonds were bigger and more beautiful than the ones on the counter, Lin Xi’s eyes were straight.

He carefully tugged at Pei Jiashu’s sleeve, “Just pretend, don’t really buy it!”

The one just now cost 500,000, these must be more expensive.
