Wen Li still walked over.

She did not play the song that Huo Yuanchen played, but chose another solo piece, which she played alone.

He sat beside her, his eyes fixed deeply on her nimble and moving fingers, but his expression was gloomy and ugly.

When leaving the piano shop, Huo Yuanchen asked her, "Why did you change the song?"

Wen Li said without any emotion, "I can't play the song you played."

He sneered and said, "Really?"

Wen Li also smiled and said calmly, "Why don't you try sitting alone on the stage for ten minutes in awkward silence? Maybe you will forget the music you have practiced for two months."

Huo Yuanchen lowered his eyes and said to her after a while , "That day I..."

Wen Li interrupted him and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't come. It happened more than ten years ago. What does it have to do with me now?"

Even if he wanted to apologize, he should apologize to Wen Li from more than ten years ago, to the little girl who sat alone on the stage and endured the boos from the audience.

The current Wen Li doesn’t need it anymore.

Huo Yuanchen still said, "My grandfather passed away that day."

Wen Li was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look into his eyes seriously.

He put his hand to block her eyes and said, "What are you looking at? My grandpa has been dead for more than ten years. I can't be sad now."

Wen Li still put her arms around his waist and said a little uncomfortably, "But you must have been very sad at that time. I know that your grandfather was really good to you. You must have felt bad when he left."

Huo Yuanchen looked down at the woman who threw herself into his arms. He raised his hand, trying to push her away, but she held him too tightly. He didn't push her away. Instead, he moved his outstretched hand down and hugged her waist.

However, this was a public place, so the two didn't hug each other for too long and soon separated.

Huo Yuanchen asked Wen Li, "Which other stores do you want to visit?"

Wen Li hesitated and asked him, "Do you want to watch a movie? There will usually be a movie theater in this kind of shopping mall, right?"

He asked her, "Do you want to see it?"

Wen Li was unsure whether he wanted to watch it or not, so she said ambiguously, "There isn't any movie I particularly want to watch recently, but it's still early, if..."

He said, "I'll go buy the ticket."

Wen Li immediately said, "Then I'll go choose a drink."

She sent him away and turned to the bag counter downstairs. She came here just to buy a bag, and she came here to buy it because she was holding her breath. Huo Yuanchen insisted on coming with her, so of course she couldn't let him buy this bag for her.

Whatever he could buy for An Wen, she could also buy for herself.

Wen Li chose a very classic bag and asked the salesgirl to pack it. It looked similar to the bag she liked in Country L. The difference was that the pattern of this bag was an old model from last year, while the one in Country L was a new model that was released this year.

Naturally, the old model is cheaper, so she was still upset and couldn't calm down.

When Huo Yuanchen saw the shopping bag in Wen Li's hand, he asked, "What did you buy? Why didn't you ask me to pay for you?"

Wen Li took out the bag and showed it to him. She said calmly, "You don't have to pay. I can afford it myself."

He glanced at her, his eyes a little cold.

Later, when the two of them watched a movie, they didn't talk much at all. It might have something to do with the movie they chose. Wen Li enjoyed watching the fairy tale play performed by real people, but in Huo Yuanchen's opinion, it was quite boring.

He kind of regretted agreeing to Wen Li's suggestion to watch a movie. He didn't understand why anyone would waste several hours sitting here watching such a childish movie that had no logic at all.

He took out his cell phone and started swiping, waiting for the movie to end.

Wen Li saw that his phone screen was always on, and saw from the corner of her eye that he was chatting with someone. She curled the corners of her lips numbly, picked up the things at her feet, stood up and said to him, "Let's go."

Huo Yuanchen asked, "Is it over?"

Wen Li didn't answer, but walked out with her back bent. When she walked out of the theater and saw the bright lights outside, she felt relieved.

It would be better for Huo Yuanchen not to accompany her if he was in this state. It would be better for her to watch a movie alone than with him.

Outside the cinema, there was a sign for the movie that was currently showing. Wen Li stood beside it and asked Huo Yuanchen, "Do you want to take a photo together?"

Huo Yuanchen frowned and asked her, "What do you mean?"

Wen Li said with a hint of sarcasm on his face, "You came shopping with me. Aunt Qi asked you to do that, didn't she? Come, let's take a photo together. Send it to Aunt Qi, and your mission will be accomplished."

Huo Yuanchen looked at her deeply for a few seconds, and asked in a bad tone, "Do you think I have to accompany you shopping because of my mother?"

"Isn't it?" Wen Li said with a smile, "In fact, you really don't need to waste this effort. You can just tell me and let me cooperate with you to take a photo and send it to Aunt Qi. Why waste these hours with me? Isn't your time very precious? To be honest, it's awkward to go shopping with you. You think so too. I saw that you were very comfortable when you accompanied An Wen shopping last time, and you were always talking and laughing..."

Before she finished speaking, Huo Yuanchen walked away without any intention of waiting for her.

Wen Li stood there, watching his back disappear into the elevator, then she took a deep breath and carried a bunch of things to take the elevator at the other end. She didn't press the button for the underground garage, but went straight out of the mall and took a taxi back to her parents' home.

Hu Huifen was surprised and happy to see her come back, and asked her, "Why are you back again? Where's Yuanchen? Didn't your father say that you and Yuanchen were dating today?"

Wen Li glanced at Wen Yongjie who was drinking tea and watching TV, and deliberately said loudly, "The date is over. I'm so tired. My legs are about to break from walking. I don't want to go out on a date again."

Wen Yongjie looked back at her and said disapprovingly, "You can't say that in front of Yuanchen. It's hard for him to date you. Next time, go somewhere where you don't have to walk too much, or you can go to the library with him. Yuanchen is more knowledgeable than you, and you will improve by being with him. What Dad values most in his life is intellectuals. I'm very satisfied that you and Yuanchen are together."

Wen Li asked tentatively, "Dad, what if... I mean what if, please don't take it seriously... What if, after spending some time with Huo Yuanchen, we find that our personalities are not compatible, would you..."

Before she finished speaking, Wen Yongjie interrupted her and said, "Personalities need to be adjusted. No couple can live without quarrels for a lifetime. If you stop dating because of a few quarrels, then it will be difficult for you to find someone you like."

She added, "Yuanchen has read a lot, and his personality should be more rational. With a reasonable boyfriend like him, I believe you two will be able to get along well soon."

Wen Li curled her lips, thinking that her father had too strong a filter for intellectuals, and she might have to change the reason she came up with for breaking up.

On the other side, Huo Yuanchen waited in the mall garage for half an hour but didn't see Wen Li coming down. Finally, he couldn't wait any longer and drove away alone.

In the evening, Zhou Ying sent a message to Wen Li, saying, "There was a movie showing in the school auditorium. Huo Yuanchen accompanied An Wen and many students saw it."
