Chapter 1414: Chapter 537: Li Yiran Confesses Her Feelings to Him!
Zhang Jingdong: It’s okay, I can wait... Since you’ve already started fantasizing about that, be honest, have you ever self-taught before?
Tong Xin: Self-taught? What do you mean?
Zhang Jingdong: Take a guess?
Tong Xin blinked quickly, thought for a good two minutes before finally figuring out what he meant, and then somewhat indignantly replied: No, I haven’t.
Zhang Jingdong: Really not?
Tong Xin: Really not.
Zhang Jingdong: Then when you’re curious about such things, how do you satisfy your curiosity?
Tong Xin: Occasionally watch movies.
Zhang Jingdong: So which teacher’s movies have you watched?
Tong Xin: Teacher? I just watch those romantic movies.
Zhang Jingdong: Don’t tell me it’s "Titanic"?
Tong Xin: Yep, that movie does have some very suggestive scenes.
Zhang Jingdong: Did you know Xu Jinjiang also has similar works?
Tong Xin: I don’t know him, I only know Wen Bixia.
Zhang Jingdong: So you’ve watched "Beijing Transformation"?
Tong Xin: You actually know about that?
Zhang Jingdong: Not just that movie, I’ve seen most Hong Kong and Taiwan styles from back then. I’ll give you a list later, so you can enjoy them step by step.
Tong Xin: No need, I rarely watch them.
Zhang Jingdong: You watched so little before because you had no access nor related knowledge. Now that you have me as a guiding light, in the future, you’ll definitely watch a lot more.
By the way, do you have Komachi?
Tong Xin: What do you mean by that?
Zhang Jingdong: Guess, friendly reminder, it’s a type of clothing style.
Tong Xin thought for around ten seconds this time, then suddenly realized and replied shyly: Yes, I have.
Zhang Jingdong: You actually have it! That really surprises me.
Tong Xin: What’s the big deal? Some clothes only match with it.
Zhang Jingdong: Are you wearing it today?
Tong Xin: No.
Zhang Jingdong: Do you prefer it or more common styles?
Tong Xin: Both are fine, I think each has its pros and cons.
Zhang Jingdong glanced at the time.
Almost 5 o’clock.
He then sent a message: Alright, I’ll let you off the hook today, I’ll contact you again tonight.
Tong Xin sighed in relief, subconsciously putting her phone in her bag.
But after a while, she suddenly felt something was off and, holding back her shyness, went to the bathroom.
...
Zhang Jingdong tidied up a bit, went downstairs, and got in the car.
He texted Li Yiran: I’m coming over now, I’ll be there in about twenty minutes.
Li Yiran replied in less than ten seconds: Okay.
Zhang Jingdong stuffed his phone in his pocket, started the car, and with a smooth maneuver, quickly left the spot.
In less than twenty minutes, the black Land Rover slowly stopped at the entrance of the alley.
Li Yiran immediately recognized Zhang Jingdong’s car and quickly approached.
Zhang Jingdong lowered the window, looked at her white dress, and noticed she seemed to be wearing light makeup, instantly saying, "You’re even more beautiful, get in the car!"
Li Yiran was originally worried that Zhang Jingdong might not like her makeup, but hearing his compliment, she instantly smiled and nodded: "Mm!"
Saying that, she walked around the car and sat in the passenger seat.
Zhang Jingdong couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Is today a special day? Why are you dressed so beautifully?"
Li Yiran had a somewhat mysterious air: "You’ll find out soon enough!"
"Hmm? Is there a surprise?"
"...Mm."
Zhang Jingdong’s heart was instantly stirred, and then with a press of the gas pedal, the car quickly disappeared into the traffic.
About ten minutes later, Zhang Jingdong parked the car in a parking lot by the river.
The two got out and arrived by the river.
The setting sun had just started to descend, the sunlight was stunningly beautiful and tender, casting on the river surface, turning it into the famous saying "Half the river is jeweled, half the river is red".
They walked along the shore for a while, then came to a high platform, both feeling the breeze and gazing into the distance.
Zhang Jingdong said, "You’re about to go to university in Yanjing, are you excited lately?"
Li Yiran shook her head: "Not really excited... more reluctant."
After speaking, her eyes even began to redden a bit.
Zhang Jingdong immediately said, "Didn’t we already talk about this? Besides, I’ve already arranged everything for your work in Yanjing, and I promised I’d often visit you there."
"But... I’m still very reluctant to leave you."
Zhang Jingdong lovingly ruffled her hair, then embraced her: "You’re about to become Huaqing’s campus belle, that’s such a big title, so many beauties want it but neither have the talent nor the opportunity."
"Heaven has given you so much, you must cherish it!"
Li Yiran paused for a moment, then shyly and expectantly said to Zhang Jingdong: "Then... can you promise me something?"
This was actually the first time Li Yiran had proactively made a request, and seeing her somewhat serious expression, Zhang Jingdong couldn’t help but be curious: "Go ahead, what is it?"
Li Yiran glanced around, then leaned in to whisper in Zhang Jingdong’s ear: "Tonight, I want to be with you."
Zhang Jingdong clearly didn’t expect Li Yiran would bring up such a matter at this moment and was instantly warmed inside.
If it were any other woman, he would have agreed without the slightest hesitation.
But facing Li Yiran...
He ultimately didn’t want to rush things with her, considering she had just graduated high school, not fully matured, and her background was so endearing.
However, he also knew that outright refusal might make her overthink.
