Chapter 228 Pretending to be Calm

Jiang Pengyu looked at Xu Jinjin steadily, coughed lightly, and pretended to be calm: "I said it."

Xu Jinjin was already prepared for a protracted battle, but his word "OK" made all the words she had prepared useless and they all stuck in her throat.

It felt unexpected.

She couldn't help but move closer and asked uncertainly: "When you say success, what success do you mean? Give me a chance to pursue, or be with me as a partner?"

Xu Jinjin has large facial features and is the type of cold beauty.

When she stared at him stupidly, Jiang Pengyu had an illusion that he was very handsome.

He touched his chin and moved forward.

The two men were facing each other, barely two fists' distance apart.

"Didn't you say you wanted to date me and asked me if it was okay? If I said yes, why is there a second option?"

Jiang Pengyu has cold and deep facial features and dark skin. When he doesn't speak, he looks very serious and a little fierce.

But his voice was very nice, a typical bass, and when he spoke in a low voice, Xu Jinjin even felt that there was electricity flowing in his voice.

There is an inexplicable feeling of bewilderment.

He caught Xu Jinjin off guard.

She had the courage to express her feelings, but she didn't expect to succeed.

Judging from Jiang Pengyu's various behaviors, he didn't seem to like her.

"Why did you agree to this?"

Jiang Pengyu said: "I am old enough to start a family."

That's it?

Xu Jinjin felt incredible: "Are you so superficial?"

"Is it superficial?" Jiang Pengyu touched his chin: "I think I'm quite dark."

Xu Jinjin: “…”

She felt a little lost and lowered her head. Suddenly, someone grabbed her cheeks and pulled them up.

Xu Jinjin was forced to look up and glare at the man opposite her, but she saw the man opposite her, who had always maintained a stiff expression, grinning brightly: "Okay, I was just teasing you."

Um?

Xu Jinjin looked at him in confusion.

Jiang Pengyu loosened his hands that were pinching her face and patted her on the head instead, just like when he told her to protect herself in Beiyu County.

Today he said, "Xu Jinjin, open your mouth."

ah?

Wanna kiss?

It's embarrassing to do this in public.

Xu Jinjin was surprised and her lips slightly opened. Jiang Pengyu stuffed a candy into her mouth. It was orange-flavored and slightly sweet.

She held the candy in her mouth and asked him, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing special. I just thought you liked candy so much, so I'll keep some for you later."

Jiang Pengyu has a strange feeling towards Xu Jinjin.

When Xu Jinjin forcefully kissed him, he was able to push her away.

After all, in front of him, her movements were no different from slow motion.

But his first reaction was not to avoid it, but to stand there in a daze.

He always felt it was strange because she had pursued Shen Cheng.

She completely changed her mind after she went to Beiyu County.

In order to save Shen Cheng, the younger sister risked her own life.

She looked at him and said, she would do the same if she were in his shoes.

So when she asked him to talk about something at noon today, he agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, he became a little anxious. At that moment, he knew his answer.

He was expecting her to talk about dating.

"I have been urged to get married since I was 25, and it has been delayed until now, so it is impossible for me to date you just because I am old enough."

He smiled and said to Xu Jinjin: "I should like you."

It's about love, not about settling for it because of age.

Xu Jinjin's eyes sparkled with light, and then she said in a somewhat overbearing manner: "What do you mean by should? If you like someone, then you like him. There is no should. Tell me now that you like me, and let me be happy for a while."

It is rare for Jiang Pengyu to express his emotions so directly.

He was amused by her. He originally felt embarrassed to say such frivolous words, but influenced by her mood, he found that he spoke very naturally.

"I like you. Jiang Pengyu likes Xu Jinjin. Is that ok?"

Xu Jinjin looked at him happily. It was rare that this stinky man could speak nicely.

She was so happy that her heart was filled with joy, but she said, "Since you are sincere, I allow you to like it."

"You still allow me to like you." Jiang Pengyu grabbed her face and said with a smile, "Your tail is almost flying up to the sky."

Xu Jinjin did not avoid him and smiled at him triumphantly: "I have caught up with the man I like, can't I just go to heaven?"

Jiang Pengyu turned his face away, suppressed his smile and coughed: "You can still enter the ground."

"You just entered the ground."

Xu Jinjin was in a good mood today, as a big worry was relieved. She swallowed the candy in two gulps and then continued eating happily.

But he avoided the pan-fried bun in the bowl.

This was what Jiang Pengyu threw into her bowl.

Seeing that she had not eaten, Jiang Pengyu knew that she was bothered by what happened last time. He moved closer to her and whispered, "Eat whatever you want. Don't worry about me. In fact, leek stuffing is quite fragrant. I like it too."

Xu Jinjin: “…”

She was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and her fur stood up in an instant: "So the last time you kissed me, you thought you were eating pork and leek stuffing?"

Jiang Pengyu touched the tip of his nose, as if he had said something wrong.

"…Strictly speaking, that wasn't a kiss."

"What's that?" Xu Jinjin asked, wanting to hear what he could come up with.

Jiang Pengyu said, "I was kissed unilaterally."

Xu Jinjin: “…”

Ah, want to kill someone.

Receiving her gaze, Jiang Pengyu reflected on himself. He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I'll eat it, and you don't have to."

As he spoke, he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up the steamed buns in Xu Jinjin's bowl.

Just as it was about to reach her mouth, Xu Jinjin grabbed her wrist.

Jiang Pengyu looked at her in confusion.

Xu Jinjin said with a frown, "Don't eat it."

"Why?" Jiang Pengyu asked.

Xu Jinjin replied: "Because I only like to eat pork and leek stuffing and don't like the smell."

Jiang Pengyu's mind was full of questions: "I didn't let you smell it?"

Xu Jinjin stuffed some food into her mouth, then grabbed his wrist and walked out of the cafeteria.

When the two of them passed by Jiang Nianzi, they didn't even see her.

Jiang Nianzi glanced at the two people's backs and smiled slightly. Her tough and naive elder brother was finally accepted by someone.

On the other side, Jiang Pengyu was dragged by Xu Jinjin into her clinic.

She even closed the door.

Jiang Pengyu was completely confused. She brought him a glass of water and said, "Drink."

ah?

Although he didn't understand, he still did it.

I lowered my head and took a sip. Just as I was about to swallow it, I heard her say, "Flush your lips and spit it out."

I also brought him a basin.

Jiang Pengyu spit the water into the basin with a "biu" sound, his face full of confusion.

Xu Jinjin also drank a few sips of water and rinsed her mouth clean.

Then he ran to his desk, opened the drawer, and took out two candies.

He stuffed one into Jiang Pengyu's mouth and one into his own mouth.
