6:59pm

Wearing a black pant and his favourite blue shirt, Yichan was pacing back and forth in the living room anxiously waiting for Ning to come out of the room. ​​

There wasn't much he could do but he tried his best to make their first date a memorable one. He wanted Ning to remember and cherish this day throughout her life.

Running his fingers through his hair, Yichan took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. Yes he was nervous, in fact he was very nervous. This was the first time he had done something like organising a date for a woman.

Just then Ning stepped out of the room wearing a light blue off-shoulder knee-length dress. She had her hair tied into a loose bun and had very light makeup on.

Yichan froze when he saw her. She was looking so beautiful and angelic that he couldn't help but stare at her.

When Ning met his scorching gaze, she blushed and lowered her head. Her already wildly beating heart doubled its beating rate when Yichan started walking towards her.

Brushing his fingers against her left arm, Yichan murmured, "You look beautiful."

Hooking her arms around his neck, Ning asked, "What do you mean Mr Mo? Do I not look beautiful everyday?"

Wrapping his arms around her waist, Yichan pulled her closer. "You look beautiful everyday Ms Yang but something is different about you today." Brushing his lips against her earlobe, he continued, "I am afraid I might do something tonight."

Ning gasped and closed her eyes when Yichan sucked her earlobe.

"I hope you'll like and enjoy our first date Ms Yang." Yichan whispered.

…..

"Yi where are we going? Is it far?" Ning asked.

Intertwining their hands together, Yichan shook his head. "No it's not that far."

"But-"

"Shhh let's close your eyes now." Placing his hand on her eyes, Yichan carefully guided her towards their first date venue.

Ning pouted her lips and complained, "You are acting so suspicious."

"We are almost there." Yichan kept on guiding and updating her.

Stopping not too far away from their cottage, Yichan slowly removed his hand from her eyes. "I couldn't do much but I still hope you'll like it."

Slowly opening her eyes, Ning gasped when she saw his beautiful and cute arrangement.

Ning excitedly grabbed his arm and squealed, "You remembered?"

Yichan chuckled and nodded his head. "How could I forget? How can I forget anything that is related to you?"

Pouncing into his embrace, Ning wrapped her arms around his neck. "Thank you so much Yi."

Kissing her forehead, Yichan smiled. "Thank you for coming into my life and making it so beautiful."

Ning blushed and buried her face on his chest.

Yichan chuckled and wrapped his arms around her. "Well if you keep blushing and hiding this way then how will we start our picnic?"

A few weeks earlier when Ning was sharing a few things about her past with Yichan, she told him how her parents never took her for a family picnic and how they would only take her younger sister for family outings.

As a kid, Ning always wondered how going on a picnic would feel like so out of curiosity, she would gather a few of their house helpers and have an indoor picnic with them.

Ning never expected Yichan to actually set up an outdoor night picnic place for her. With a red and white plaid sheet spread on the ground and a small picnic basket placed right beside it, everything was looking so cute and lively.

Extending his hands towards her, Yichan smiled. "Would you like to go on a PICNIC date with me?"

Ning chuckled and vigorously nodded her head before placing her hand on his.

Taking off their shoes, they settled themselves down.
