The sweet fragrance still lingered. Lin Jie looked at Li Ting, who had just been as fierce as a tiger, and was now holding the hem of her shirt like a little rabbit, looking around with her head down. He was a bit confused.
What's going on here?
It seed like in the heat of conversation, the other party just kissed him. Does this an Li Ting is his girlfriend now?
This didn't match his original expectations at all.
He just wanted to have a playful chat with Li Ting, but now he had to make a decision about their relationship. If he didn't give a clear statent in this situation, it was obvious that the two of them would break off from each other.
Lin Jie bit his lip, savoring that feeling once more.
To be honest, that kiss a mont ago felt a bit bad. Li Ting ca at him too quickly and didn't control her strength well, making Lin Jie's teeth hurt a bit.
He examined Li Ting carefully this ti purely from the perspective of a man looking at a woman.
If you ignore her slightly plump body, she indeed has a good appearance. Just her facial features already made her a beauty. One could say she inherited her mother's beauty, and though she was a bit plump, her figure was still quite nice.
Additionally, she slled really nice.
If she could slim down a bit, Li Ting would be a great girlfriend, Lin Jie greedily thought.
Just then, Li Ting suddenly stretched out her foot, pinched the tip of Lin Jie's sneaker-clad toe, lowered her head, and said in a low, angry voice, "Shouldn't you say sothing now?"
If her temper were a bit gentler, it would be perfect.
Thinking this, Lin Jie, enduring the pain in his toe, said, "Yesterday, Auntie talked to . Besides asking to persuade you to study abroad, she clearly hinted that we are not suitable to be together."
"I guessed that!"
Li Ting finally raised her head, looking at Lin Jie with a flushed face, and said, "Actually, the real reason behind my quarrel with my mom wasn't because of the studying abroad issue. It was because my mom wanted to keep a certain distance from you."
"I was worried she'd tell you about this, so I took your gym card back."
Lowering her head again, she murmured, "To be honest, I only considered you a good friend. But my mom's opposition made reflect on our past experiences together, and I found that although you are annoying, you're not hateful."
"Besides, given your current situation, finding a girlfriend won't be easy."
"If I don't sacrifice myself and try to save you, you might leave this world with regrets."
Lin Jie resisted the urge to roll his eyes. In the current situation, it was not suitable to argue with Li Ting, so he solemnly said, "Li Ting, you need to think carefully about this. Don't make a hasty decision out of spite or sympathy!"
Li Ting raised her head again, puffed her cheeks, and glared at Lin Jie, saying with dissatisfaction, "Lin Jie, I've already shown you with my actions, and you're still hesitating. Are you going to say anything or not?"
Lin Jie was almost amused with anger. He stepped forward to hold Li Ting's hand, saying fiercely, "If you don't mind, then what am I worried about! Either way, being together, it's not who'll suffer, and I won't be the one who ends up getting hurt."
"Let's go. To celebrate having a girlfriend today, let take you out for a big al."
Li Ting wrapped her arm around Lin Jie's and laughed, "And to celebrate having a boyfriend, let eat a big al at your expense."
Introduced by Li Ting, they walked into a small, clean, and hygienic restaurant right across from the school's east gate.
It was alti, so there were no seats left in the hall, but a small private room was available. After ensuring they'd spend at least 300, they got the private room.
Li Ting skillfully ordered four dishes and a soup, and told the waiter, "I'd like two servings of what I ordered. Serve one now and cook the other an hour later. We'll take it to go."
After the waiter left, she laughed and said, "Miaomiao told that every ti she practiced cooking, you'd pretend it was delicious and eat it. So now you can take this opportunity to enjoy a proper al, and you can take the packed al back for Miaomiao."
Lin Jie smiled faintly and said, "Miaomiao puts a lot of effort into it. As her brother, I have to support her by any ans, and she's made great progress. Her cooking is starting to look promising."
"By the way, how's your cooking?"
Li Ting gave Lin Jie a sideways glance and righteously said, "Your cooking is pretty good. It's fine as long as one of us is good at it."
Lin Jie's face drooped as he said pitifully, "This al is to celebrate us getting together and also celebrate us becoming single again, alright? Having once is better than longing for eternity, right?"
Li Ting slapped the table, put on a stern face, and humd, "I'm basically lowering my status to marry you, understand? In this case, only I am allowed to break up with you, you're not allowed to leave ."
Suddenly, she couldn't hold her expression anymore and buried her face in the table, chuckling.
Lin Jie was full of black lines and looked at her nervously, saying, "I heard that girls reaching their third year without a boyfriend get pretty anxious. I was a bit skeptical about this before, but seeing how happy you are, I truly believe it now."
"You're the one anxious!
Li Ting shot Lin Jie another look, subdued her laughter, and said, "But honestly, I'm quite happy. I feel very comfortable and relaxed when I'm with you, although sotis you are quite infuriating."
"When I hadn't recovered yet and saw other couples being all lovey-dovey under the moonlight, I was envious, but I didn't think about having so epic romance. As long as the two of us are comfortable together, that's enough."
Lin Jie imdiately chid in, "That's great, Comrade Li Ting. You need to keep thinking this way! Don't let external changes alter your pure thoughts."
Li Ting gave Lin Jie a sidelong, affectionate glance and said, "I still clearly rember that night you brought to pick up Miaomiao. You specifically took the bus instead of driving and rembered the steps for every segnt of the journey!"
"At that ti, I was so envious of Miaomiao having such a caring and loving brother like you."
"When Mom warned to keep my distance from you, I thought of that mont again!"
"I suddenly realized that I might not be able to be your sister, but I could be your lover. You, this guy, although you seem weak, have a strength inside, a strength that makes people trust and feel at ease."
As he listened to Li Ting pour out her heart, Lin Jie didn't forget to remind her, "Li Ting, don't say I didn't warn you. Miaomiao has often been bullied by before, and she still nags about getting back at one day for all her past sufferings."
Li Ting giggled and said, "Miaomiao told about everything in the past. I'm not worried you'd bully ."
"I know you were a bit harsh on Miaomiao before on purpose to train her to be independent. And Miaomiao, for you to survive, was willing to give up everything! This proves that you two siblings truly care about each other."
Lin Jie felt ashad; he was not as kind-hearted as Li Ting described. There had been tis when he deliberately picked on Lin Miao when he was in a very bad mood.
The food arrived quickly, and most of the ti, Li Ting chatted away cheerfully, while Lin Jie listened with a smile, occasionally adding a word or two.
Since Li Ting had a class in the evening, they finished the al in a little over an hour.
They also reached a consensus to keep their relationship a secret from Li Ting's parents for the ti being.
As they parted ways, Li Ting suddenly beca serious and said, "Lin Jie, I said a lot during the al, but there's one thing I need to remind you about! When we were together before, your eyes weren't very honest, always glancing at other girls."
"From now on, you're soone with a girlfriend. You're only allowed to glance at !"
"Of course, you can look at other girls, but you can't let catch you. Also, you need to behave more now. Keep your distance from An Kexin, Xiao Qi, and others."
Lin Jie shivered at this, oops, in his happiness he had forgotten about An Kexin.
