Chapter 34 Holding hands is acceptable.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I slept until the sun was high in the sky.
When Jiang Luo got up, the house was empty.
Her parents went out to visit relatives and left lunch for her.
After washing up, she heated up her lunch and sat down at the table.
I glanced at the time: 12:20.
She and Yan Zihe agreed to go online after 12 o'clock.
Open the game.
[Favorability +1010]
[Congratulations, Miss Luo Luo! Your affection level has reached 2000, unlocking the touch function. From now on, Miss Luo Luo can interact with Yan Zihe physically. Special announcement: Once your affection level reaches 3000, you can enter the house! Miss Luo Luo, keep fighting for love!]
!
Jiang Luo's eyes widened.
What a pleasant surprise!
incredible!
On the first day of the new year, a wonderful gift falls from the sky!
"Luo Luo, welcome back," Yan Zihe said casually.
"This is……"
Yan Zihe's eyebrows curved into a smile. "Do you like the New Year's gift I gave you?"
"I like it!" Jiang Luo nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Now that I've finally unlocked the touch function I've been longing for, I naturally have to try it out right away!
Holding her breath, Jiang Luo carefully extended her fingertip, approaching little by little, and then poked Yan Zihe's face.
Sure enough, a small dent was visible in her cheek.
She really did manage to meet Yan Zihe!
—【Congratulations】—
When his head was rubbed into a mess, He Ziyan realized with utter despair that he had dug a hole for himself.
Luo Luo first poked his cheek, then rubbed his head, and then... she couldn't stop.
"Luo Luo." Unable to bear it any longer, He Ziyan called out.
Luo Luo's voice was full of laughter, "What's wrong?"
She seemed completely unaware of any problem.
"Luo, Luo," He Ziyan called again in a deep voice.
"Okay, okay." Luo Luo rarely showed a hint of coquettishness, and replied in a very soft and affectionate tone, "I know."
Reluctantly, it hummed twice.
The trembling tone at the end of her voice transformed into a slender rope, pulling at He Ziyan's heart.
He sighed helplessly.
Three seconds of silence.
He lowered his head and said in a softer voice, "Holding hands is fine."
"Really?!"
Shouts and surging forth.
He Ziyan hummed in agreement.
He silently raised his hand.
The next second, a trace of power appeared out of nowhere in his hand.
Gently, softly, as if afraid of hurting him.
In a daze, Luo Luo's image appeared before my eyes.
Luo Luo extended her hand to him and placed it in his palm.
As if struck by lightning, He Ziyan felt his blood boiling.
This is... a strange feeling.
My mind went completely blank, and the rest of the words just rang out in a blur, I couldn't hear them clearly.
Even after he woke up in bed, he was still in a daze.
He sat up, staring blankly at his palm.
-【ginger】-
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Welcoming the God of Wealth, sending off ginger.
When saying goodbye to her parents at the train station, Jiang Luo couldn't help but secretly wipe away two tears.
She wasn't a fragile person; it was just that the pain of being separated from her family was too acute.
She arrived at Chunxing at 1 p.m. and was waiting for Xiaolin when she got off the train.
The restaurant reservation has been made, but it's not for her to welcome her home; it's for entertaining her "sugar daddy."
It's still the Longyue Restaurant, room 208.
Pushing open the door, I saw a figure standing straight, admiring the paintings on the wall.
He was slender, with long, black hair hanging down his back, dressed in black, looking solemn and efficient.
"Shuang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Lin Heng called out.
Turning around, I saw Lin Shuang.
Jiang Luo originally thought that her first job in the new year would definitely be Lily's dating reality show, "Springtime Romance".
Unexpectedly, during the Spring Festival, Lin Shuang took the initiative to contact her and invited her to be the brand ambassador for Still Love.
Jiang Luo would never refuse Lin Shuang's job, especially since it involved being the spokesperson for her brand image.
Still Love enjoys high recognition in the fashion industry, but because Lin Shuang has always focused on niche boutiques, the brand has not developed further.
Right now, she's somehow figured it out and wants to promote SL to the public.
Without hesitation, Jiang Luo was chosen as the spokesperson for this crucial role.
For Jiang Luo, this was an irreplaceable opportunity.
Firstly, the fact that she can secure endorsements demonstrates the market's recognition of her, which can boost other brands' confidence in her.
Secondly, SL has always taken a high-end approach, which has inadvertently elevated Jiang Luo's status as a brand ambassador.
This meal was not for business negotiations; it was purely Lin Heng and Jiang Luo's way of thanking Lin Shuang.
The three had a very pleasant conversation, and things progressed smoothly afterwards.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, both parties officially signed the contract.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, we began to work on the promotional photo shoot.
Having not been to the studio for a long time, Jiang Luo was full of fighting spirit.
"You've worked hard." During a break from filming, Lin Shuang thoughtfully handed her a cup of coffee.
The two sat down in the rest area.
"It's no trouble at all. I'm overjoyed to have this opportunity." Jiang Luo took the coffee, took a sip through the straw, and said, "Thank you."
Lin Shuang nodded slightly.
She was always taciturn, sitting quietly with her coffee in hand.
"I..." Jiang Luo placed the coffee on the table, straightened her posture, put her hands on her lap, looked obedient, and mustered up her courage to say, "I'm a little curious."
If it were someone else, she would always adhere to the principle of "not getting involved, not asking questions, and not causing trouble."
But when she was facing Lin Shuang, she couldn't help but feel concerned.
With her eyes slightly lowered, Lin Shuang had already anticipated what she was going to say. Looking at her, she bluntly asked, "You want to ask me why I suddenly expanded the scale of SL?"
“Yes.” Jiang Luo looked at him expectantly.
Without any pretense, Lin Shuang explained in detail: "In the past, I was not in a good state of mind, so I did not want to take on more business responsibilities. But during this Spring Festival, I drew some strength from the outside world, became more courageous, and after calming my mind, I felt that I should take it a step further."
In the past...now...
Jiang Luo had too many questions surfacing in her mind, each one very personal.
She moved her lips, but didn't ask the question.
Lin Shuang probably answered the first question out of politeness; to ask further questions would be impolite of her.
Lin Shuang tilted her head, seemingly puzzled: "I thought you would ask more."
"Is that okay?" Jiang Luo's eyes lit up.
Lin Shuang nodded.
Jiang Luo licked her lips, her gossip-loving spirit burning brightly, and went straight to the point: "Are you in love?"
Lin Shuang was somewhat surprised, but her eyes naturally revealed tenderness. She then said frankly, "Not for the time being."
Not at the moment.
That means it'll be soon.
You guessed right.
Jiang Luo, feeling smug, began to analyze: "Actually, I noticed something was off when you came to deliver the gift last time. You were practically floating around in pink bubbles when you answered that phone call."
Lin Shuang smiled.
She took another sip of coffee, held the cup with both hands, and asked, "Aren't you going to ask me about my past?"
Jiang Luo shook her head. "I won't ask. What's past is past."
Lin Shuang never doubted that Jiang Luo was being attacked online, nor did she ask any questions.
Therefore, Jiang Luo didn't ask.
There's no need to reopen old wounds just for your own selfish desires, even if they allow it.
The two sat facing each other for a while.
Lin Shuang suddenly spoke up: "On New Year's Eve, he and I went to set off fireworks."
Just as Jiang Luo was about to ask "who," she saw the tender and charming look on Lin Shuang's face and immediately guessed who it was.
She was the one who made the usually aloof Lin Shuang soften.
It was the person who gave Lin Shuang the strength to take SL to the next level.
It's someone she's not dating yet, but she definitely will in the future.
