Shu Ran: Why.
Zhang Jingdong: Because at the mont I decided to toss the coin, I already knew whether or not to do it. And every ti I toss a coin, I keep tossing until I get the answer I’m satisfied with.
Likewise, the reason you hesitated so much last night and still gave your favorite Athena is because you had already decided to give it to when I first asked you for it.
Shu Ran: You have way too high an opinion of yourself!
Zhang Jingdong: I’m not just in high spirits, but brimming with confidence, especially since I’m currently leading 3:0 in badminton against soone. I really can’t help but be overconfident!
Shu Ran: Just you wait, I’ll win against you in the future.
Zhang Jingdong: What are you going to wear when you go out today?
Shu Ran: Is that any of your business?
Zhang Jingdong: It’s not, but I have a suggestion. Don’t wear those wide-leg trousers and black T-shirt like last ti in class.
You look barely in your twenties, but that outfit instantly aged you to over thirty.
Shu Ran: I’m a teacher, after all. I should dress solemnly at school.
Zhang Jingdong: But you’re not teaching today, so why not try wearing a white, designer dress, preferably a waist-cinching one? It would definitely be an eye-catcher.
Shu Ran: I have no interest in pleasing everyone.
Zhang Jingdong: Alright then, pretend I didn’t say anything. But don’t worry, even if you dress like last ti, I’d still co and applaud you at the event.
Shu Ran: Co or not, it’s up to you.
Putting down the phone, Zhang Jingdong looked out the window: "If she doesn’t take the bait today, I’ll throw my Casanova halo into the river."
Then, with great enthusiasm, he got ready and arrived at the kitchen doorway: "Darling, what are you up to?"
Chen Lu turned her head with a sweet smile: "I’ve made a cold drink using the ice I brought back from McDonald’s... Are you heading out?"
Zhang Jingdong ca up behind her, wrapping his arms around her slim waist: "I’ll leave after having a drink."
Chen Lu’s face lit up with sweetness: "Alright, it’ll be ready in a mont!"
Before long, Chen Lu handed Zhang Jingdong the cold drink she prepared.
He took it, took a small sip, tasted it carefully, and then praised it: "Delicious! What did you put in it?"
Chen Lu, thrilled by the complint, chirped: "Oolong tea, grapes, ice cubes, sugar, mint leaves."
Zhang Jingdong nodded approvingly: "Such a virtuous wife, I really lucked out!"
He then kissed Chen Lu’s lips.
Chen Lu instantly happy: "I can make many more types, and I’ll let you try them all in the future!"
"It’s a must!"
Zhang Jingdong gave Chen Lu another kiss before heading out the door.
He took the elevator down to the parking garage, got in the car, and said to Long Yue: "Go to the normal university."
"Okay."
Not until after entering the gates of the normal university did Zhang Jingdong take out his phone and send a ssage to Lin Xirui: Wait for , I’ll pick you up and then we can go to the Art College together.
It took less than five seconds for Lin Xirui to reply: No need to bother, I can get there by myself.
Zhang Jingdong: In one more minute, I’ll be downstairs at your dorm.
A minute later, Lin Xirui replied: I knew you were lying, your car is nowhere to be seen downstairs.
Zhang Jingdong: Is there a chance I switched cars again? Co on, hurry down.
Five minutes later, Lin Xirui appeared at the dorm entrance, looking unsure.
Looking around, she then took out her phone to call Zhang Jingdong.
"Is this black car yours?"
"You’re wearing a one-shoulder blue dress, probably another one of your own designs, right? Hurry up and get in!"
Lin Xirui glanced at the car again, then approached, opened the back door, and upon seeing Zhang Jingdong was indeed in the car, she got in.
Soon the car started up again, leaving the normal university quickly.
Although last ti they had pierced that window paper and understood each other’s feelings, Lin Xirui was clearly still wary of Zhang Jingdong at this mont.
Seeing this, Zhang Jingdong teased: "What, you’re that scared to et alone, afraid I’ll eat you?"
Lin Xirui gave Zhang Jingdong a sideways glance: "You’re not a tiger, what would there be to be afraid of?"
"Then why are you avoiding ?"
"I...I’m not avoiding you!"
Seeing her defiant response, Zhang Jingdong reached out to grab her hand.
Lin Xirui quickly dodged, saying in a rushed tone: "Zhang Jingdong, what...what are you doing!"
Zhang Jingdong curled his lip: "What’s the big deal about holding your hand, huh?"
"Hey, how can you be so brazen, you... you hooligan!"
Zhang Jingdong instantly burst into laughter: "If I were really a hooligan, I would’ve kissed you by now!"
As he spoke, he grabbed her hand. She was just about to struggle when Zhang Jingdong said bluntly, "And you claim you’re not avoiding ?"
"I’m not avoiding you, I just... Zhang Jingdong, I’m willing to try with you... but... you must agree to one condition."
"Keep it from Ranran?"
"...Right."
"But do you think she won’t be able to tell eventually?"
Lin Xirui thought for a good while, then with a tiny frown said, "I don’t care, if you don’t agree, then there’s no way I’ll... try."
Zhang Jingdong knew she hadn’t gotten past the ntal barrier yet, and also knew that these things couldn’t be rushed, so he nodded imdiately: "Alright, I agree!"
He said and then kissed her hand.
"Congratulations to the Host for successfully kissing the target person’s hand, reward 30,000 yuan!"
Seeing that she didn’t resist at all this ti, Zhang Jingdong got a bit more daring and leaned in to kiss her face.
But this ti, Lin Xiran dodged it.
"No, you... you’re moving too fast, I... I’m not like my sister, I’m not ntally prepared yet!"
Zhang Jingdong saw her face expressing both shyness and a bit of panic and was suddenly moved.
"Alright, then we’ll just hold hands today. After all, we have plenty of ti, I’m not in a rush."
During the remainder of the journey, Lin Xirui noticed that Zhang Jingdong was actually behaving decently as he had promised, which secretly earned him points and reduced her guard against him.
But just when the car turned a corner and was about to reach the art school, Zhang Jingdong suddenly leaned in and kissed Lin Xirui’s face.
Lin Xirui imdiately covered her face with a gesture of coquettish anger: "Zhang Jingdong, you... you actually tricked , you... you despicable man!"
She was so flustered that her Northeastern dialect ca out, a sign she was truly agitated.
Zhang Jingdong touched his nose: "How did I trick you?"
"You clearly just said we have plenty of ti and you’re not in a hurry!"
Zhang Jingdong’s face was as thick as a wall, he earnestly replied: "Yes, but there’s a saying that a day without kissing you feels like a year, so that journey just now felt like several days to . So I’ve been very patient!"
Seeing Lin Xirui still pouting angrily, Zhang Jingdong continued: "Anyway, what’s done is done and can’t be changed. If you’re really upset, why don’t you kiss back?"
Lin Xirui was completely exasperated and found herself at a loss for words against him, so she huffed: "Hmph, I’m not talking to you anymore!"
With that, she turned her head away.
Zhang Jingdong, being an old hand at this, patiently waited a full minute before reaching out for her hand, which, unsurprisingly, she slapped away.
So this ti, Zhang Jingdong just hugged her.
Lin Xirui struggled for quite a while but failed to break free, eventually she just gave in.
Magical, isn’t it?
Well, love can be magical like that sotis. No one knows why a girlfriend might suddenly get angry, nor why forcibly hugging her would make up for it.
Sotis, when a girlfriend is mad, so people even go as far as tripping her on purpose, then deliberately not running away to let her hit them.
And while she’s hitting them, the next thing you know, they’re kissing.
Tsk tsk, that’s love for you, totally illogical, and there truly is no reasoning with it.
Five minutes later, the black Land Rover Range Rover slowly drove into the art school.
Then, ten minutes after, a white Land Rover entered the school and eventually parked in front of the teaching building.
As the car door opened and she just stepped onto the stairs, two dance students coming out of the teaching building were imdiately taken aback.
It took a mont before they could respond.
"Teacher Shu, hello!"
Shu Ran, noticing the surprise in their eyes, blushed slightly, nodded towards them, and then entered the teaching building.
The two dance students, however, imdiately switched from their earlier restraint to excitent and gossip.
"Teacher Shu is actually wearing a skirt today, she looks so beautiful... But do you think this is the first ti she’s dressed like this because... she’s in love?"
"I think it’s very likely... Did you notice there was a hint of spring in Teacher Shu’s eyes just now?"
"Now that you ntion it, it seems really true, tsk tsk, this is big news, worth at least two dinners!"
"Two dinners? That’s honestly undervaluing Teacher Shu. I say at least five."
"Let’s go with your suggestion, co on, back to the dorm!"
