Su Rui couldn’t remember where she had read before: It’s said that it was better to be romantic before marriage than after marriage.
As she thought about it, she felt that it made sense.
After all, they would see each other at home every day after getting married, so why would they need to specifically go out on a date? The places where they would go on a date would probably change from ‘romance in the air’ to ‘to just an ordinary stroll’.
After a few years, even going to the movie theatre would probably change to the New Year children’s movie special.
Although she and Gu Yu Cheng did talk about marriage, it was still a bit too early.
However, as this was both of their first dates, it was still very important to Su Rui.
After hanging up, Su Rui searched online on her mobile phone for dating strategies. She even looked up on strategies for travel, short-distance trips and vacations.
But, there didn’t seem to be any particularly suitable choices available, especially for a date that was set early in the morning tomorrow.
……
By the time Su Rui had decided on two locations, it was almost midnight.
It was awfully late, Su Rui wasn’t sure whether Gu Yu Cheng had already gone to bed.
After some deliberation, she didn’t call him. Instead, she sent him a WeChat message.
[Su Xiao Rui]: Are you asleep?
[Gu Yu Cheng]: No.
When Su Rui noticed that Gu Yu Cheng had replied so quickly, she smiled and called him.
“Gu Yu Cheng.”
“En,” Gu Yu Cheng grunted. After a pause, he asked, “Have you thought of where you want to go?”
”En, I looked at a couple of places.” Su Rui replied.
“Where?”
”Is Red Maple Forest a project by the Gu Company?”
Red Maple Forest, an eco-tourism area not far from the suburbs, had only been developed in recent years.
Su Rui had some impression of this place because her professor had specifically used this place’s business model as a case study analysis for this week’s lesson.
It could be said that it was a very successful and creative business model.
Su Rui was quite curious about this.
She vaguely remembered that the project seemed to be led by the Gu Company.
Of course, aside from the above reasons, Red Maple Forest itself was a perfect place to go on a date and have fun.
Su Rui surfed the internet and saw the relevant photos and strategies to play. She felt it was quite lovely.
It wouldn’t feel out of place if they go in the morning.
Hearing what Su Rui had said, Gu Yu Cheng was a little taken aback.
He had initially thought that Su Rui would have wanted to go shopping or something for the date.
Gu Yu Cheng himself had no interest in shopping, but he wouldn’t have minded it at all if he was just accompanying Su Rui.
”Yes, Red Maple Forest is Gu Company’s project. The Gu Company accounts for 60% of the funds.”
”Then, let’s go there tomorrow. What do you think?” Su Rui asked.
”Alright.” Gu Yu Cheng responded without a hesitation.
He had gone to Red Maple Forest once when it first opened. It was not bad. The distance back and forth was also acceptable.
“I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”
”Ok.” Since Gu Yu Cheng had no problem, the other alternative places could be crossed out.
”Then tomorrow you can wait for me at the place you had sent me before.” Su Rui thought about it and said.
It was better to be far away. It would be best not to have Comrade Lao Su, who goes out for his morning run, to encounter him tomorrow.
“Alright.”
“Good night.” Su Rui smiled as she said, “Rest early as you have to get up early tomorrow.”
Su Rui was still not familiar with Gu Yu Cheng’s routine.
As for the question of whether or not the other party hadn’t slept because he was waiting for her to confirm the location, she will disregard that for the time being.
