"..."

Zhu Jinzhao froze for a second, then couldn't help but cry out in pain:

"Aaaaaah!!!"

"My hand!!!"

Shi Jing quickly let go and returned Zhu Jinzhao's hand to her.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to bite you!" There was a red light ahead, and Shi Jing immediately braked and stopped the car.

"I'm sorry, Chaochao." He turned to Zhu Jinchao, took her bitten hand into his palm, and carefully blew cool air onto the teeth marks.

"Chao Chao, I really didn't mean to, does it hurt?"

Zhu Jinzhao pouted, looking unhappy: "Of course it hurts, you bit down so hard."

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Shi Jing touched her hand tenderly and kept apologizing to her. "It's my fault, let me blow on it for you."

Zhu Jinzhao frowned, looking at him unhappily: "Why did you bite me?"

Shi Jing explained with a wry smile, "I didn't mean to bite you. I saw you reach out out of the corner of my eye and thought you were going to feed me, so I opened my mouth and bit you."

"I'm sorry, Chaochao, did it hurt a lot?"

"It hurts." Zhu Jinzhao nodded, her furrowed brows slowly relaxing.

"call……"

"call……"

Shi Jing gently stroked her fingers while blowing cool air on the teeth marks on them: "Phew... Chaochao, I really didn't mean to."

“…I understand.” Zhu Jinzhao looked at him intently and gave him a reluctant smile. “I forgive you. You don’t need to apologize to me.”

"...You forgave him?" Shi Jing asked in surprise. "So quickly?"

Zhu Jinzhao pulled her hand back and saw that the teeth marks on her knuckles were not so deep anymore, so she didn't ask Shi Jing to blow on them for her anymore.

"You didn't do it on purpose, so of course I can forgive you quickly. I'm fine now, you can continue driving."

After saying that, she smiled at Shi Jing again, a smile that was both sweet and gentle, like a delicate flower in spring.

Shi Jing gazed at her with dreamy eyes, almost melting from her cuteness.

"Give me two sheets of paper," she said softly.

Shi Jing obediently took the cardboard box and pulled out a few sheets of paper from it, but instead of handing the paper to her, he personally wiped the oil stains off her palms.

After wiping her face and tossing the paper aside, he touched her face and said, "Thank you, Chaochao."

"Hmph!" Zhu Jinzhao glared at him arrogantly, shifted her position, and slumped into her chair. "Let's drive."

Shi Jing looked at her and smiled: "Okay."

The Rolls-Royce restarted, and Shi Jing, keeping to the beat of the clock, delivered Zhu Jinzhao to the company.

Zhu Jinzhao had a very busy day, and as soon as she arrived at the company, she immediately got busy, not even having time to reply to Shi Jing's messages.

Shi Jing sat alone in the car, and started to get bored after less than half an hour.

Just then, two messages popped up in their "Brothers, Let's Chop Each Other Up" WeChat group.

Qin Dayong: @JingjinGankao It must be true, are you back?

Duan Qing (Studying Hard Version): @Jing Jin, it must be true, will you come back?

Shi Jing: "..."

He clicked into the WeChat group and typed a reply: What?

Qin Dayong: Come play billiards! Xie Lang booked a super cool private room!

Jingjin's trip to take the exam must be true: No, I'll wait for Chaochao to finish class.

Qin Dayong: ? ? ?

Duan Qing (Studying Hard Version): ? ? ?

Shen Yichuan: ? ? ?

Song Dapao: Are you crazy? Classes don't end until 6 PM today, are you going to wait there all day?

It's definitely true that Jing is going to take the imperial examination today: Yes. If I'm not here to keep watch, what if something suddenly happens that requires someone's help?

Song Dapao: You could send an assistant over to keep watch; there's no need for you to wait there all day yourself.

Xiao Da Congming: The situation today is a bit special. How can we rely on a mere assistant?

Shen Yichuan: Exactly! The Zhu Group is only five kilometers away from Qunxing Media. If Shi Jing isn't here, and Jin Zhao's older brother happens to come and kill them, wouldn't Jin Zhao be finished?

"Hmm..." Shi Jing was satisfied with this explanation.

Jingjin's trip to take the imperial examination must be true: Chaochao's situation is too dangerous, I must stay by her side. You guys go play billiards yourselves, I won't go.

Xiao Da Congming: Okay. You have classes all day today, aren't you bored sitting there by yourself? Do you need a few of us to come and keep you company?

Jingjin's trip to take the exam must be true: You guys have fun, don't worry about me, I've already found a place to kill time.

It's definitely true that Jing is taking the exam today: I'm not saying anything more, see you this afternoon.

After sending the last message, Shi Jing exited WeChat and opened Meituan.

He searched for DIY studios near Qunxing Media on Meituan and selected one with a relatively complete range of projects and a good reputation from more than a dozen diverse studios.

After making his choice, he first called the studio to confirm that there were still seats available, and then drove there following the navigation.

This studio targets the high-end market. As soon as Shi Jing arrived at the door, a pretty receptionist immediately came to greet him in high heels.

"Hello sir, welcome to the DIY Studio. Do you have an appointment?"

Shi Jing: "Yes, my surname is Shi, the Shi of time."

Receptionist: "Okay, Mr. Shi, please come in with me."

This studio is quite large, with nearly twenty private rooms just for VIP clients. In the lobby outside the private rooms, there are also more than a dozen separate DIY areas.

Today is a weekday, and the studio has just opened, so there are only a few scattered customers in the outer hall.

Shi Jing followed behind the receptionist, casually glancing around as she walked toward the private room.

"Huh?"

The two girls sitting in the corner frowned as they looked at him, and the more they looked, the more familiar he seemed.

"This handsome guy looks like... like so-and-so..."

“He looks like Shi Jing!” One of the girls with her hair in a bun quickly recognized him.

“Yes, yes, yes!” her companion nodded repeatedly, “He looks just like Shi Jing, he really does look like Shi Jing!”

"Time Mirror!" the girl with the bun called out tentatively.

Shi Jing immediately turned around and greeted her in a generous manner: "Hello."

"Aaaaaah!!!" The two girls instantly exploded, "It really was you!"

Shi Jing smiled politely at them and said, "What a coincidence."

Girl with a bun hairstyle: "Did you come here alone? Where's Jinzhao?"

Shi Jing waved his phone in his hand: "Jin Zhao is chatting with me."

"Aaaaaah!!!" The two girls were so excited they were practically going crazy. "I knew it! Jingjin going to take the imperial examination must be true!!"

Shi Jing raised an eyebrow, neither admitting nor denying it.

"Have fun, you two." He waved to the two girls, then turned and went straight into the private room.

"Aaaaaah!! I've finally made it! I actually got to eat dog food personally fed to me by Shi Jing..."

The door to the private room was already closed, but Shi Jing could still hear the two girls talking.

They must be fans of the "Jing Jin taking the exam" couple. After a moment of contemplation, Shi Jing suddenly said to the receptionist, "I'll cover the expenses for those two girls. Let them do whatever they want."
