We step out of the mall, the sunlight already soft and golden, about to slip behind the buildings. The sidewalk is warm under our feet as we walk, and Jiang keeps glancing around, his eyes sparkling like a kid at a carnival.
"So," I nudge him with my elbow, "how was it? You like the date?"
He nods eagerly, grinning from ear to ear. "Yes! Yes! I like date with Yunhua. Very fun."
I chuckle, feeling oddly proud. "Good. But we're not done yet."
His eyes widen, surprised. "We still got date going on?"
"Yup," I smirk, teasing a little as I pull out my phone to book our next ride. "The final destination. Saving the best for last."
He claps softly, excited. "Ooooh! More fun with Yunhua."
I roll my eyes, but I can't help smiling too. "Yeah, yeah. Get ready. You're gonna love this one."
He beams, swinging our matching pajama bag with a silly bounce in his step.
