The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Monday. 

Li Lanni's class had successfully completed the first volume of the comic they were drawing.

Today, they started the second volume. 

As usual, after the lecture was done, the professor asked them to draw the comics for the second volume based on the story they were asked to read. While they were doing so, the professor walked around the classroom, silently assessing the comics made by the students. 

'This batch of students have improved a lot' the professor was delighted when he saw the paintings. Each one of them was unique and creative.

But then he stopped next to Li Lanni with a frown when he saw her painting. This girl… 

To avoid making her feel humiliated, he waited until the class ended, then called her to his office and questioned her. "Have you really read the novel and understood it?" 

Li Lanni nodded, wondering why he would ask such a question. They were in the second volume already. Wasn't that a given? 

"Really? I don't think you have really understood it enough. Because if you had, you would know that the novel is quite a happy one. Your comic wouldn't hold such darkness." 

Darkness? Li Lanni thought back to her comic. 

"It is easier for people who have read the original novel to overlook such a plot error. However, new readers will misunderstand it. As I said before, you should put yourself into character every time you make a sketch. Also, this is not the only problem I have noticed in your drafts. I am disappointed to say this, but your performance has significantly deteriorated since you first joined the class. While the others are improving, you are seriously lagging behind. Are you experiencing some problems? If you have some problems, you can share it with me." Though his words were condemning, his voice was gentle.

"No…" Li Lanni frowned, all this seeming new to her. When had she not put herself into character? 

"I will not take up too much of your time, but I haven't expected this results from you, who hwas the grand winner in the previous painting contest. Go on and think about it." The tutor said with a gentle smile. He hesitantly added, "You should know that no matter how much effort you put in something if you are being forced into it, all your efforts will be futile." 

"Thank you, sir. However, I'm not being forced into anything. I willingly joined this class." 

When Li Lanni left his office, the first thing she did was open her locker and take out all the drafts to take a look. These were just copies, she kept the originals at home but had copies in the studio locker for reference. 

She checked through them from the first chapter. At first, there wasn't any change. But from the fourth chapter, she began to notice that what the tutor had said was true. Seriously, if one were to see her latest chapter, there was no one would believe that she had joined the class by winning a contest. 

More importantly, it looked like the story had strayed from the original. If the dialogue were to be added, it was sure that it would look misplaced. 

But hadn't she been working hard? 

What went wrong?

Later in the afternoon,

Ji Xiehan completed his work earlier, pushed the less urgent doc.u.ments aside before leaving his office. He would work on them later at night.

After asking Lin Jian and being laughed at for half an hour, he finally got his way around finding the least frequented movie theater. He had selected a popular movie more suitable for female audiences and booked tickets. 

All the previous times, he had got her to go out with him using schemes and tricks. This was the first time she had willingly agreed to go somewhere with him. This should be considered their first official date, right? 

So he followed Lin Jian's advice and found a present. He already had one; the bracelet he had bought her when they went shopping but didn't have the chance to give it to her. 

He wore the watch that was a match with it and took the bracelet with him. 

Feeling more confident, he let out the breath he didn't realize he was holding and went to pick Li Lanni up. 

The girl didn't make him wait too long. Two minutes after he sent her a text, he saw her exit the villa, wearing a blue dress that matched the color of his tie. 

He couldn't help smiling. What a sweet coincidence. 

"Did I keep you waiting?" She asked, her eyes staying on his tie for a few seconds. 

"No. I just arrived. You look beautiful." 

She blushed and unknowingly tightened her fists. "T-thank you." She had dressed up for him. It would be disappointing if she didn't look beautiful. She was happy that he liked it, and was even more pleased that their clothes were a complementing match. They looked just like a couple in love. Though she refused to accept it, she was delighted inside.

Once they were at the movies, he went ahead to buy snacks as she waited for him. "I booked tickets for a teenage drama 'Our Youthful Love.' I didn't know what kind of movies you liked, so I asked some of my female colleagues, and everyone said this was a nice one." He informed. 

"Haha…" When Li Lanni heard him say, she broke into a peal of laughter.

"What's so funny?" he was puzzled by her sudden laughter. 

Li Lanni burst into another round of laughter. "Haha..oh my god...haha..I can't control myself ..haha..Your face when you said the name of the movie was amusing." 

Ji Xiehan laughed at himself too. It was just that he was a little unsure. After buying the tickets for the teenage drama, he only later realized that it was full of fluffy romance. Then he remembered that when they talked about online novels, she mentioned a few that she liked. Those were all detective novels, and even if there were some romance ones, the main theme was a crime. 

Most people liked the same genre of movies and novels, so she should like detective and mystery, right?

But then again, she played otome games once in a while. So he didn't know whether to change the tickets or not. 

Li Lanni figured out why he was confused. She felt happy that he prioritized her choice. "I'm not really picky with what I read or watch. I only do it to pass the time, so you should have chosen what you like instead." 

"Then let's watch the teenage drama. I've never watched one before." He happily led the way, and she instinctively clung to his arm because he had popcorn and coke in both hands. 

They took a seat close to the front. They were quite early, so there were only a handful of people aside from them.
