Lu De Min was tall and handsome, while Wang Tong was beautiful and generous; they looked like a golden boy and a jade girl, attracting countless gazes along the way.
Wang Tong had also adjusted her mood. It was difficult to tell from her expression that she was unhappy.
At this moment, Lu De Min noticed something and looked at the subtle expressions on Wang Tong's beautiful face, thoughtfully.
Soon, the two found a quiet place and sat on a huge cobblestone, starting to learn Russian.
Wang Tong was very responsible and serious. She explained Russian to Lu De Min like an excellent teacher.
Her voice was soft but detached, giving a feeling of being a thousand miles away. Yesterday, they still felt like they had an ambiguous relationship, with the chance of becoming a couple.
But now, it seemed like the distance between them suddenly became very far.
However, Wang Tong was a great Russian teacher.
Lu De Min's Russian learning progressed rapidly.

Time seemed to pass especially fast when young men and women were together.
It was soon approaching noon.
"Tong Jie, are you hungry? Let's go eat at a restaurant!" Lu De Min said.
"Hmm!" Wang Tong was still concise.
"I came by bike! It's parked next to the door!" Wang Tong added as they walked outside.
Sure enough, they soon saw Wang Tong's Forever bicycle.
Bicycles were not common in this era, and Wang Tong's was a new one, with some cute ornaments on the back, making it easily recognizable.
"Xiao Lu, can you ride a bike?" Wang Tong asked suddenly.
Lu De Min nodded: "I can! I learned."
"Then ride me on your bike!"
"Okay!"
Lu De Min took the key, unlocked the bike, and sat on it.
Wang Tong lifted up a section of her skirt and sat on the back seat, her hand resting on the seat to steady herself.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready!"
Lu De Min rode the bike forward.
They rode for a while until they reached Hong Bin Lou.
"Are we eating here? It's a bit expensive!"
Wang Tong knew that the food prices at Hong Bin Lou were not cheap. She felt a bit heartbroken for Lu De Min for inviting her to such a place to eat.
Of course, she was also very happy, thinking that Lu De Min was willing to spend money on her. Unfortunately, he only saw her as a good friend. Thinking about this, she was unhappy again.
"It won't cost much! We're already here, let's go in!"
"Hmm! Then order a little less. Just enough to fill our stomachs!" However, although Wang Tong was unhappy, she didn't show it.
"Okay!"
Lu De Min locked the bike and walked in with Wang Tong.
Hong Bin Lou had private rooms and a dining hall.
To save money, Wang Tong asked Lu De Min to eat in the dining hall.
Lu De Min agreed when he saw Wang Tong insist.
The two found a seat in the dining hall.
They ordered three dishes in total.
Braised Oxtail, Signature Potstickers, and Emperor's Vegetables.
Well.
Once again, they became the center of attention in the dining hall.
There was no way around it, the man was handsome, the woman was beautiful.
After lunch.
"I want to go to the restroom!" Wang Tong said softly.
"I need to go too. Let's go together!" Lu De Min also stood up.
"Hmm!"
They walked towards the restroom.
"Huh!" Lu De Min didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.
Sha Zhu also saw Lu De Min and Wang Tong, envy flashing in his eyes, clearly shocked by Wang Tong's beauty.
Usually, they didn't interact much. When Sha Zhu saw Lu De Min looking at him, he immediately lowered his head, pretending not to see, and walked straight ahead.
"Did you know someone?" Wang Tong asked, puzzled.
Lu De Min: "A neighbor. He's probably apprenticing here. I don't know him well!"
…
A few minutes later.
Lu De Min and Wang Tong left Hong Bin Lou.
Logically, they had discussed Russian learning, eaten lunch, and the date should be over for today. However, Wang Tong hadn't said anything.
Lu De Min took the initiative and said: "I've been in Beijing for so long, but I haven't visited any local sights. Tong Jie, would you like to accompany me to visit some?"
Hearing Lu De Min say this, Wang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and simply nodded in agreement: "Okay! Where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to the Great Wall of Badaling first!"
"Hmm!"
Actually, Lu De Min had been to the Great Wall of Badaling in his previous life. This time, he specifically asked Wang Tong to accompany him, naturally, he had a purpose.
In this era, there weren't many tourists from other parts of the country or foreign countries visiting the Great Wall of Badaling. It was mostly locals, so there weren't too many people.
After finding a place to park their bike.
Lu De Min and Wang Tong began to tour the Great Wall.
As they walked, the slope became steeper and steeper, and Wang Tong began to gasp for breath.
Seeing that Wang Tong was struggling, Lu De Min reached out and took her small hand: "Tong Jie, are you tired? I'll give you a hand!"
Wang Tong's body trembled. This was the first time she was held by a boy, her face immediately turned red.
Even though Lu De Min boldly took Wang Tong's hand, he was also nervous at this moment. Holding a girl's hand in this era was no small matter; it was considered a very intimate act.
If Wang Tong angrily pulled away or even slapped him, then he would be embarrassed, and their relationship would be completely finished. However, Lu De Min still had confidence in himself. He believed in his intuition and judgment. Even if Wang Tong resisted, she probably wouldn't be too angry.
It happened in the blink of an eye. The moment Lu De Min held Wang Tong's hand, countless thoughts and emotional fluctuations flashed through her mind. In the end, she only made a gesture of pulling away, clearly not using any force.
Lu De Min held Wang Tong's hand, not only didn't let go but also held it more steadily.
Wang Tong continued to struggle symbolically for a few times, then let Lu De Min hold her hand.
Done!
Lu De Min's heart swelled with joy.
Girls in this era were different from those in the future. In the future, even if they slept with you, they might not be your wife.
This era was different. If they were willing to let you hold their hand, they were almost willing to be your partner.
Wang Tong's face was still red, but she said with a hint of reproach: "There's no one around here, why are you using me as a shield?"
Sure enough, Tong Jie was unhappy this morning because of what he said.
It was also because of this that Lu De Min was sure Wang Tong had feelings for him. He dared to boldly hold her hand.
Lu De Min knew that he couldn't miss this opportunity. He had to strike while the iron was hot and confirm their relationship. Holding Wang Tong's hand, he tightened his grip and boldly confessed: "Tong Jie, I was wrong. You're not a shield! I like you, will you be my partner?"
Wang Tong didn't expect Lu De Min to be so bold in his confession. Her face turned even redder. This was the first time she was so close to a boy. In the past, some boys had confessed to her, but she didn't like them. This time was different. She liked Lu De Min in her heart, but she didn't know whether to accept or not. If she accepted, it felt too fast. If she didn't accept, she was afraid that Lu De Min would misunderstand that she didn't like him. Oh, this was so difficult.
"But I'm older than you!"
"Three years older, hold gold bricks!"
"It's too fast! We've only known each other for a short time!"
"Tong Jie, I fell in love with you at first sight! The moment I saw you, I was deeply attracted to you! You're so beautiful and kind, like an angel who stayed in the world…"
"Your mouth is so sweet, are you a flirt?"
"I will only love you for my whole life, I can swear! I..."
"Okay! You don't need to swear, I believe you! I accept!" Wang Tong, a pure and innocent girl who had never been in a relationship, how could she resist the passionate confession of the boy she liked? She quickly surrendered.
"Great! I have a girlfriend!" Lu De Min excitedly pulled Wang Tong into his arms, holding her tightly. She was fragrant and soft, the feeling was wonderful.
Wang Tong's body was stiff at first, but soon softened. She also took the initiative to gently hug Lu De Min's waist and said emotionally: "Xiao Lu, remember what you said, don't betray me!"
