Chapter 1404: Chapter 534: Kissed Tong Xin! (Super Chapter – Subscription Requested)
After Zhang Jingdong snuggled with Zhang Yuqi for a while, he also gave her a few pointers on her acting.
Close to 11 o’clock, Zhang Yuqi changed her clothes and left the company.
Zhang Jingdong worked through some documents for a bit, and then his phone on the desk suddenly rang.
His heart skipped; he picked it up and glanced at it.
Sure enough, it was a text from Tong Xin: It’s break time now.
Zhang Jingdong: Miss me?
Tong Xin: Didn’t I tell you before that I’d let you know when I’m on break? I don’t want to be a sore loser.
Zhang Jingdong: So do you miss me or not?
Tong Xin: If you keep chatting like this, I might have to go back to work again in a bit.
Zhang Jingdong: But you already promised me back at home that you’d be open and honest with me, and answer any question truthfully. You going back on your word now?
Tong Xin: You’re sure you want me to answer truthfully?
Zhang Jingdong: I can accept whatever answer you give, but the premise is you answer exactly what you’re really thinking. No lying.
This time it took a full thirty seconds before Tong Xin finally replied: Fine, I... do, a little.
Zhang Jingdong felt a surge of pleasure: A little what?
Tong Xin: You obviously know, you’re doing this on purpose!
Zhang Jingdong: You also clearly know how you’re supposed to answer, but you deliberately won’t follow the standard format. You’re doing it on purpose too.
Tong Xin: Hmph... fine, I admit it, I do kind of miss you.
Zhang Jingdong: What’s the first scene that pops into your head when you miss me?
Instinctively, Tong Xin looked up around her, then replied, both shy and pleased: When you carried me up the mountain.
Zhang Jingdong: Just as I thought, I figured that’s the scene you’d think of.
Tong Xin: Why?
Zhang Jingdong: Because I could feel your heart racing then. Did you forget you weren’t wearing that thing? It was in that instant I confirmed you weren’t wearing that thing.
Tong Xin: You’re awful, you always manage to get a little dirty mid-chat.
Zhang Jingdong: Classmate Tong Xin, you have to understand, strangers only talk about lofty, elegant stuff; close friends are the ones who talk about the down-and-dirty.
Besides, if we really keep talking about poetry and literature, you’re no match for me. If you don’t believe it, we can go head-to-head with poems right now?
To stop Zhang Jingdong from getting any dirtier, Tong Xin immediately said: Sure.
Zhang Jingdong: But if you lose, then you have to chat about whatever I feel like chatting about, and whatever I ask, you have to answer honestly. How about it?
Tong Xin: Then if you lose?
Zhang Jingdong: If I lose, then I’ll chat about whatever you feel like chatting about, and whatever you want to ask, I’ll answer honestly.
But you still have to keep me company chatting when you’re free, because that’s the punishment from the last time you lost.
Tong Xin: No problem.
Zhang Jingdong: Great, then let’s start now. Ladies first.
Tong Xin: "The setting sun sinks behind the hills."
Zhang Jingdong: Opening with a killing move, huh? You really are ruthless. Let me think.
In a rare moment of teasing, Tong Xin said: Oh wow, you were just swearing up and down a second ago, and your cover’s blown on the very first line?
Zhang Jingdong: I was just joking, and you took it seriously? I’m a poet by origin, you know.
Tong Xin: Then go on, respond. Oh, and we need a time limit, right? Otherwise if you answer three to five days later, you’ll have plenty of time to cheat.
Zhang Jingdong: Then let’s say no more than thirty seconds.
Tong Xin: Works for me. You’ve already been thinking for at least ten seconds. I’m going to start counting down now.
Zhang Jingdong: "All day the emperor never tires of watching..." Just from this little quiz I can see how mischievous you are at heart. Tsk tsk, looks like once I win in a bit, I’ll have to chat with you about some heavy-duty topics.
Tong Xin: Sorry, but it’s going to be hard for you to get your way. "Light footsteps on level sand feel the earth still warm."
Zhang Jingdong: Not bad, huh. I really did underestimate you a bit.
Tong Xin: As the ancients said, arrogant troops are doomed to lose! Also, you actually think some guy like you can beat a Jiangnan girl at poetry and lyrics?
Zhang Jingdong: I really love that proud look on your face... "In hot springs, smooth waters bathe skin like cream."
Tong Xin: And I also find your arrogant, overconfident look quite amusing... "Oiled wheels ready to roll along Nanshan Road."
Zhang Jingdong: Seems like you’re finding me more and more interesting. That’s a very good sign... "No one picks up what’s lost; you can tell the rule is strict."
Tong Xin: You can’t tell I’m being sarcastic? "The bleak autumn wind begins to rise."
Zhang Jingdong: Even sarcasm can be taken at face value. After all, women all love reverse psychology, and as they say, women don’t love a man unless he’s a little bad... "She dances, playing with the clear shadow."
Tong Xin: Sorry, but I’ve never liked those so-called bad boys... "The shadow only follows along with me."
Zhang Jingdong: But you already said you kind of like me, so I’m the exception in your case. I’m truly honored... "No colorful phoenix wings to fly in pairs."
Tong Xin: Has anyone ever told you your face is so thick even bullets couldn’t get through? "Majestic banners turn high in the wind."
Zhang Jingdong: Your description is still too tame. Other people say the thickness of my skin rivals the length of the Great Wall... "In the blink of an eye, the river’s flow is no longer what it was yesterday."
Tong Xin: All right, the thickness of your face really has far exceeded my imagination... "Not flowers, not mist, yet seen in days gone by."
Zhang Jingdong: Aside from the thickness of my face, there’s another place where the length will definitely surpass your imagination too... "They say the road to Cancong..."
Tong Xin: You haven’t even won yet and you’re already getting dirty again. That’s against the rules. If you keep this up, you’re going to lose by default... "Even if a road is separated by a river of stars, you can still borrow it."
Zhang Jingdong: I was talking about my thoughts, Classmate Tong Xin. If your heart holds Buddha, you see Buddha everywhere; if your heart holds lust, everything you see looks dirty!
