The two walked back along the corridor by the river.
The corridor by the river was a bit dim, with only a street lamp every long distance.
They came to a chair under a street lamp and sat down.
Zhou Chen put the snacks and fruits he had bought outside in the middle.
The two chatted while eating snacks.
Tang Wan whispered, "Should we ask Lu Qing to come and have some?"
Zhou Chen nodded and called out to Lu Qing, "Lu Qing, do you want to have some?"
Lu Qing walked over, took two bananas, and then went back to the previous position, which was the best shooting position he had found.
Tang Wan couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Lu Qing is really dedicated. I'm looking forward to those photos he takes!"
"The photos he takes will surely look great..." Zhou Chen nodded in agreement.
"It's a pity that he doesn't want to go to my second uncle's company!" Tang Wan sighed regretfully again.
"Everyone has their own aspirations. He doesn't lack money anyway. It's not wrong for him to pursue the life he likes..."
"Then what kind of life do you like?" Tang Wan stuffed a piece of potato chip into her mouth and chewed.
"I like the life with you!" Zhou Chen grinned.
"Yuck... Can you be more serious?"
"Isn't this serious? I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart!"
"..."
After finishing the snacks, Zhou Chen drank up his water in one go.
Tang Wan also had drunk about half a bottle and then rubbed her stomach, saying contentedly, "I'm so full... I haven't eaten so many snacks for a long time!"
Zhou Chen cleaned up the mess, put the garbage into a plastic bag and threw it into the trash can.
Then he came back and sat beside Tang Wan.
Tang Wan was chatting with Lu Feifei and Gu Qingyu.
After closing the deal with the first client, she took the two of them to buy mobile phones for easy communication.
It was the Nokia 6260 flip phone that had just been launched this month.
This phone was equipped with the Symbian system and supported Mobile QQ. The initial price was 3,280 yuan.
Gu Qingyu was her high school classmate, and Lu Feifei was the first female friend she had met since coming to university. Now they were all working together, so naturally she couldn't treat them badly. A better business mobile phone would also be convenient for them to search for clients on the Internet.
Seeing that Tang Wan was chatting animatedly, Zhou Chen didn't disturb her.
He simply took out his mobile phone to browse the Jiangzhou Forum.
Beep beep...
Chen Xiaolong sent a QQ message.
[Brother Chen, I've got all the people together... Shall I go to register the company tomorrow?]
[Yes, go and register it!]
[I'm short of money, Brother Chen. We don't even have a computer!]
[Come to find me after school tomorrow!]
[Hehe, okay, Brother Chen. How much money do you plan to invest?]
[One million yuan!]
[My God!]
Chen Xiaolong was so shocked that his mobile phone almost fell to the ground.
Back then, Brother Chen's small goal was to earn one million yuan first. Now he casually invests one million yuan.
Zhou Chen continued to browse the forum, hoping to find some lucrative opportunities. The profits of Longteng Studio were too meager. The mobile phone company was only burning money at present and couldn't make a profit yet. The fishery company wouldn't see any returns until at least next March, and he only had a 20% share. Even if it made one billion yuan in profit, he could only get 200 million yuan. Although it seemed like a lot, it would soon be consumed by Xiongxin Company.
Zhou Chen squinted at the lake and sighed.
Hearing Zhou Chen's sigh, Tang Wan put down her phone and asked sideways, "Zhou Chen, what's wrong?"
"Nothing..." Zhou Chen shook his head with a smile.
"Nothing? That's impossible. Is it something about business?"
"No!"
"Then why are you sighing? You must have something on your mind. Come on, tell me..." Tang Wan put away her phone and pressed on.
"Really nothing..." Zhou Chen was a bit at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He didn't want to mention that he was short of money. And it wasn't a small amount. He estimated that even Tang Yuanshan couldn't afford to support his chip company.
"Are you going to tell me or not..."
Tang Wan was relentless. She pinched Zhou Chen's leg, but not hard, as if threatening.
Zhou Chen held her small hand and said with a mischievous smile, "Do you really want me to tell you?"
Tang Wan nodded. "Of course. We're good friends. I want to share your sorrows!"
Zhou Chen drooped his head dejectedly and said, "Actually... I wanted to ask you a question, but I've been too afraid to open my mouth, that's why I sighed!"
Hearing this, Tang Wan couldn't help laughing and said, "There's actually a question you're afraid to ask? Well, go ahead and ask it!"
Zhou Chen stared at Tang Wan's innocent face and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure you want me to ask?"
"Uh-huh..." Tang Wan looked at Zhou Chen expectantly and nodded.
"It's just... well, never mind, I won't ask!" Zhou Chen hemmed and hawed for a long while and finally deliberately played coy.
"Aren't you just making me impatient? Hurry up and ask..." Tang Wan was even getting a bit angry.
"Okay... then I'll ask!" Zhou Chen seemed to have made a great determination. He raised his head, stared at Tang Wan, and asked affectionately, "Wanwan, may I kiss you?"
"Ah?"
Tang Wan looked at Zhou Chen in shock.
Her face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple.
Zhou Chen puckered his lips and said, "I told you I shouldn't ask. It was you who insisted that I..."
"Yes..."
Tang Wan said in a voice only she could hear as she lowered her head.
Her heart was pounding and her breathing became rapid.
"Ah?"
Now it was Zhou Chen's turn to be stunned.
He had just deliberately come up with a topic to stop Tang Wan from prying into his affairs.
He never expected that Tang Wan would actually agree?
"Never mind. Let's go back to school..."
Tang Wan got up and walked ahead.
She regretted it...
Lu Qing was not far away, staring at her and Zhou Chen.
How could she have agreed to his request like that?
After walking past the area illuminated by the street lamp, Tang Wan didn't dare to go on.
She turned around to see if Zhou Chen was following.
The moment she turned, she saw that Zhou Chen had already walked up right in front of her.
He was staring at her with burning eyes.
Tang Wan immediately tensed up. "Zhou Chen, calm down... Mmm..."
Before she could finish her words, Zhou Chen silenced her with a kiss.
Tang Wan's eyes widened in shock, her mind went blank, and she even forgot how to breathe.
Woo woo woo...
Her first kiss...
Was gone!
Zhou Chen was also very nervous at this moment.
Having lived two lifetimes.
He had finally given away his first kiss.
Just as he was about to take things further, Tang Wan pushed Zhou Chen away and then gasped for air.
Zhou Chen licked his lips with a lingering feeling and said with a grin, "Wanwan, your lips are so soft!"
"Stop talking about it..."
Tang Wan stamped her foot in anger, her face flushed red as she said, "Who asked you to kiss me?"
It didn't sound like she was really angry. Instead, it seemed more like she was being coquettish.
Looking at Tang Wan's cute appearance, Zhou Chen cupped her face in his hands and kissed her again.
Tang Wan quickly reached out to cover her own mouth.
Zhou Chen ended up kissing the back of Tang Wan's hand.
Tang Wan mumbled, "Next... next time for the kiss!"
"Okay, as you say!"
Zhou Chen also knew to stop while he was ahead. After all, Tang Wan was still a young girl, and being too pushy might make her dislike it.
He must go for a French kiss next time.
Just not sure when the next time would be!
Zhou Chen sighed to himself in his heart and held Tang Wan's hand as they walked forward.
Tang Wan was absent-mindedly following Zhou Chen.
She was纠结 whether it was right or wrong to have pushed Zhou Chen away just now.
It was her first kiss anyway.
Why did it feel like there was no real experience?
If only she had let him kiss her a bit longer!
Pah pah pah...
What on earth was I thinking?
The three of them walked out of the Acacia Island.
They came to the dock to prepare to take a boat back.
The boatman stood at the bow of his boat and said in a deep voice, "You guys are really brave to go back. I just saw dozens of hooligans with iron bars standing on the shore. I guess they are the people brought by that old woman's son!"
