“Darling, do you want a date today?”
When Serina saw the word darling, she felt amused. She almost forgot that she had promised to be together with Ernest yesterday.
Darling, date.
These two words seem to have never appeared between her and Ernest. She felt strange.
However, she could not tell the reason.
Serina replied to Ernest. “Okay.”
“I’ll pick you up at 11 o’clock. I booked a restaurant. You will like it.”
“Okay.”
In fact, Serina was not the only one who felt awkward. Even Ernest felt strange. In fact, he did not intend to ask Serina out at first. But he felt that since they were together, it seemed wrong to not ask her out. He was worried that Serina would be unhappy.
After making the appointment, Serina thought about it and sent Derek a WeChat message.
“Today is Sunday. I am going out on a date with Ernest. Can you take care of the children?”
Somehow, Serina told Derek that she was going to date Ernest.
She held the phone and stared at the ceiling, feeling a little dazed.
The phone rang, startling her, and she immediately picked it up.
“Alright.”
Derek only replied with one word and nothing else.
Somehow, Serina felt disappointed. When she was in the hospital, Derek said, “You are not suitable.” But now he just agreed.
She sighed and got up.
After she dressed the two children and had breakfast, Derek came.
Perhaps it was because they went to the amusement park yesterday and had a good time there, Cherry and Blueberry seemed to like Derek more.
“Cherry, Blueberry, say goodbye to Mommy. We’re leaving.” Derek bent and said to the two children.
“Bye, Mommy!” Cherry and Blueberry waved at Serina.
“Be good! Bye-bye!” Serina waved at the two children.
Derek left with the two children without even looking at her.
Serina felt that there were only children left between the two of them!
Derek had just taken the two children into the car when he saw Ernest driving over. The two of them looked at each other, nodded, and did not speak.
The two children in the car did not see Ernest.
Ernest went upstairs and saw Serina in jeans and a simple T-shirt, ready to change shoes as soon as he entered.
“I’ll be ready in a minute.”
“Serina, are you going on a date with me dressed like this?” Ernest leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and looked at Serina.
Serina looked down at herself. “What’s wrong?”
“I’m a celebrity anyway. Do you think it is appropriate for you to wear such casual clothes when dating a movie star? You are my first girlfriend!”
Serina stood up and thought that Ernest was right. “Then I’ll go change it.”
Ernest nodded.
Serina immediately returned to her bedroom, opened the wardrobe and took out a long, beige dress.
She rarely wore a dress because she had to wear a pair of high heels to match the dress. She felt uncomfortable in them.
She walked out in a dress and stood in front of Ernest. “Ernie, is this okay?”
“It’s almost there.” Ernie nodded.
“What’s wrong?”
“Hair. Wear your hair down. It’s not suitable for you to tie this ponytail in such an elegant dress.”
“You’re so picky! No wonder you just got your first girlfriend when you were almost thirty!” Serina glared at Ernest and wore her hair down. She took a comb and combed it.
Ernest was satisfied.
The two went out together.
In the car, Ernest did not start the car immediately, but turned to Serina and said, “Serina, you have to change the way you address me. Don’t call me Ernie!”
“I’ve used this address for so many years, but I don’t feel anything wrong with it!”
“It sounds like you’re my mother or sister!”
Serina bit her lip and nodded. “Alright! So what should I call you?”
“Call me Darling.”
Serina stared at Ernest with wide eyes.
“What’s wrong? We’re in a relationship now! What’s wrong with calling me Darling? Many people who are in love use this address!”
Serina suppressed her anger and nodded. “Alright!”
“No, no, I feel a bit sappy. Just call me Ernest.”
“Yes, whatever you say! Can we go now?”
“Call me first and try it out.”
Serina sighed and suddenly smiled. She approached Ernest and blinked her big eyes. “Dear Ernest.”
Ernest felt goosebumps all over his body.
“It sounds so disgusting.”
Serina slapped Ernest on the head, “What do you want? You’re so picky!”
“Alright, alright, do as you please. Let’s talk about it later.” Somehow, Ernest felt that it was strange.
Ernest drove the car away, and the two officially began dating.
After all, Ernest was a celebrity. In case of being recognized, Ernest had been wearing a cap and sunglasses, and the two people kept some distance.
They went to play video games and the claw machine for a few hours, and then they did not know what to do.
When they got in the car, it was getting dark.
The two of them used to have a lot to talk about with each other, but now they didn’t know what to say.
“Serina, why don’t we go play computer games in the Internet café?” Ernest suggested.
“Then why don’t we go home to play games?” Serina asked.
“Yeah, but I don’t really want to play computer games. What do we do?”
Serina sighed and said, “I don’t want to play games either. When we were not in a relationship before, we just played games. Should we just do the same things?”
Ernest suddenly sat up and fastened his seat belt. “I’ll drive you home.”
“Alright.”
It seemed like they could not find a better place to go.
Ernest drove Serina to Polaris City. Serina did not get off the car immediately, and the two of them still sat in the car.
They were silent.
“Serina, do you think we are dating? We used to be like this before.” Ernest asked.
“Yes, I also suspect that. Why don’t we do something we haven’t done before?”
“We’ve done everything together before. Other than going to the toilet, kissing, and having sex.”
Serina looked at Ernest, and his smile froze.
“We’re not really going to kiss, are we?”
