Wang Xu and Li Tong went to the newest cinema in the city center.

It contained the latest movies and the best facilities.

Wang Xu rarely went to the cinema to watch movies. Everything was a fresh experience for her.

Li Tong bought the movie tickets and guided Wang Xu to the ticket gate.

There were not many people in the cinema. Wang Xu and Li Tong soon entered the screening room.

Wang Xu stared excitedly at the screen in front of her, holding the popcorn that Li Tong had just bought for her.

Li Tong turned his head to look at the side of Wang Xu’s face, and a smile appeared on his face.

Wang Xu was watching a movie very intently, and her eyes had actually lit up as she took in every moment.

Li Tong looked at Wang Xu and the corners of his mouth remained curved. He seemed to have calmed down a lot.

After the movie ended, Wang Xu still looked like she wanted more.

Li Tong looked at the smile on Wang Xu’s face and gently reached out to hold Wang Xu’s hand.

Wang Xu was shocked. She looked at Li Tong, but she did not struggle.

The two of them walked out of the movie theater holding hands.

They did not let go until they got into the car.

Wang Xu inwardly sighed in relief and watched Li Tong walk toward the driver’s seat.

The two of them got into the car. Li Tong took out a small box from the back seat and handed it to Wang Xu.

Wang Xu lowered her head to take a look. It was actually a mobile phone.

She was shocked and hurriedly returned the box to Li Tong. “This won’t do. It’s too expensive.”

Li Tong smiled and said, “This way, it’ll be easier for me to find you in the future!”

Wang Xu frowned. It was obvious that this excuse did not sit well with her.

Li Tong thought for a moment and said, “I’ve already bought this phone. Why don’t you keep it and use it? If you haven’t changed you mind, then one day… you return it to me?”

Upon hearing Li Tong’s words, Wang Xu really did not know whether to be happy or angry.

She thought for a moment and then exhaled. “I really have no way to accept this gift. How about this, I’ll buy it from you, okay?”

Li Tong frowned and looked at Wang Xu. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with this suggestion.

Wang Xu smiled and said, “I definitely can’t take out so much money at once. I’ll return it to you bit by bit. I’ll give you a portion every month. This way, we…

Wang Xu said shyly, “We can see each other at least once a month. Is that alright?”

Li Tong’s expression finally eased up a lot.

He smiled at Wang Xu and said, “Okay! Then I’ll listen to you! Pay me a little each month. This way, we can see each other for a long time, right?”

Hearing Li Tong’s words, Wang Xu’s face became redder and redder. She lowered her head slightly and nodded.

Li Tong happily grabbed Wang Xu’s hand. “It’s settled then! I’ll give you the phone!”

As Li Tong spoke, he stuffed the phone box into Wang Xu’s arms.

Li Tong started the car and drove all the way to Fang Ya’s house.

Wang Xu held the phone box in her arms, but her thoughts were constantly changing.

She always felt that there seemed to be a huge gap between her world and Li Tong’s world.

This gap was not only limited to money, but there were other things that Wang Xu could not figure out for a moment.

When they arrived at Fang Ya’s house, Wang Xu opened the car door and was about to get out.

Li Tong grabbed Wang Xu’s hand. “My phone number is in the phone. Remember to call me!”

Wang Xu nodded shyly and rushed out with the phone in her hand.

She ran all the way to the front of the courtyard. Wang Xu did not even dare to look back at Li Tong. She pushed open the gate and went in.

Li Tong looked at Wang Xu, who looked like she was running away, and the smile on his face deepened.

Wang Xu stood in the main hall, panting and trying to calm herself down.

Fang Ya had just walked out of Shao Xiang’s room. She had originally wanted to tell Tang Tang a bedtime story, but she did not expect Tang Tang to have fallen asleep.

She saw Wang Xu standing and walked up. “Why are you so flustered?”

When Wang Xu saw that it was Fang Ya, it was as if she had seen her savior.

She pulled Fang Ya’s arm and walked all the way into Fang Ya’s room.

In a daze, Fang Ya watched as Wang Xu quickly closed the door and placed the things in her arms on Fang Ya’s table as if she was a thief.

Fang Ya took a closer look and saw that it was actually the latest model phone.

Fang Ya could not help but tease her. “What? Are you a nighttime robber now? You have good taste!”

Wang Xu heard Fang Ya’s teasing and smiled helplessly. “Li Tong insisted that I accept this.”

“You don’t like it?” Fang Ya asked curiously.

“It’s not that I don’t like it. I just think it’s too valuable!” Wang Xu said bluntly.

“With our current relationship, giving this to me is really… a little too much!” Wang Xu looked troubled.

“You didn’t reject him?” Fang Ya clearly knew Wang Xu and Li Tong very well. She knew that Wang Xu would never be able to outsmart Li Tong.

Wang Xu grinned. “He only agreed to let me return some money to him every month to buy it off him!”

“Oh, so it’s by installments.” Fang Ya nodded in understanding.

“What?” Wang Xu did not understand and looked at Fang Ya in a daze.

“Nothing!” Fang Ya shook her head and continued, “That would work. No loss, no debt, no burden..”
