CHAPTER 381: CHAPTER 381: FONDNESS

Do you like me? — Rong Qingqing.

If it were any other girl, they probably wouldn’t do something so direct and outrageous, but Rong Qingqing did it with confidence.

Teacher Lin on the other end was startled, standing there, blushing while holding the phone, but he didn’t feel angry; instead, he found the girl’s straightforwardness quite endearing.

We’ve only met three times, and to use the word ’like’ seems not very cautious. ’Like’ is not something to say lightly. — Teacher Lin.

But I do have a good impression of you, and after tonight, this good impression has doubled. — Teacher Lin.

When I’m with you, time flies by. We discuss number games together, and I feel very happy. I enjoy this feeling of being with you and discussing together. — Teacher Lin.

Rong Qingqing saw this and sighed in relief; that’s good.

Not liking, that’s good.

A good impression can also exist between friends.

Rong Qingqing considered Teacher Lin as a friend with common hobbies and interests.

Then don’t like me, let’s be good friends! — Rong Qingqing.

You are my first good friend here. — Rong Qingqing.

Can’t I like you? — Teacher Lin.

No, you can’t! I’m getting engaged next week; I’m Qiaoqiao’s future sister-in-law. — Rong Qingqing.

The engagement was something Rong Qingqing agreed to personally. Unlike before, Rong Qingqing felt that she and Shen Jue could never officially get engaged; at most, there was this engagement agreement, which would eventually be canceled.

So at the time when Rong Qingqing thought of flirting with Yun Shang’s president, she felt no burden.

But now it’s different.

For the sake of surviving for ten thousand hours, she agreed to the engagement.

Someone about to be engaged and a mere verbal engagement that could be called off at any time are different situations.

Rong Qingqing glanced at Shen Jue.

Rong Jiaojiao had already cuckolded Shen Jue once.

She’d better not cuckold Shen Jue again.

Otherwise, Shen Jue would become the laughingstock of all Qing City.

Even though Shen Jue can be annoying, Rong Qingqing doesn’t harbor such great malice toward him.

Teacher Lin might be busy, so he didn’t reply further. Rong Qingqing held her phone, wore a cool expression, and tugged on Shen Jue’s arm.

"I want you, this petty person, to see what a gentleman really is!" Rong Qingqing handed her phone to Shen Jue, letting him see her chat with Teacher Lin.

How could someone as serious about feelings as Teacher Lin play some kind of backup game with her?

Rong Qingqing said, "Someone who treats the word ’like’ seriously, how could they be the shallow person you think they are?"

Shen Jue skimmed through the chat between Rong Qingqing and Teacher Lin. A few seconds later, his gaze turned to Rong Qingqing.

It was difficult to express in one sentence.

This woman’s brain is probably made of cement.

But, if it’s cement, then so be it.

Being stubborn is fine.

At least she can nip her own little romances in the bud, saving him the trouble.

It really saved him a lot of effort.

Shen Jue was completely amused by the chat between Rong Qingqing and Teacher Lin, especially when Rong Qingqing informed Teacher Lin about the engagement next week. It gave Shen Jue a feeling of his status being announced to the world.

Shen Jue returned Rong Qingqing’s phone to her.

"Reciprocity, I’ll take you to a painting exhibition and a musical tomorrow," Shen Jue said. "We’ll see the painting exhibition tomorrow afternoon, and after lunch, we can go see the musical. You can take a day off tomorrow or choose to take a half-day off."
