The girl's lips were as soft as flower petals, with a sweet scent that left her immediately upon touch.
"I like you, too," she whispered.
Jing Ling was absent-minded for a moment. Because of this kiss, and because of these words.
He couldn't remember how many years had passed since the first mission of binding the system to now. One mission after another, one world after another, it would take at least a year and a half, and sometimes even several years. It is not uncommon for people to stay in a world for more than ten years, and not just once or twice.
The task issued by the system is to help the heroine become an industry elite, stand at the top of the pyramid and be admired by others. Although the girls who were chosen are all extremely talented, when has there ever been a shortage of geniuses in this world? Only a few people will always be remembered. Just like jade, the quality of the jade itself is certainly very important, but what really determines whether it can become a treasure passed down from generation to generation is the craftsman who carved it.
A teacher is one who teaches, accepts students and resolves their doubts. Even if you are teaching ordinary students, not everyone can be a teacher, let alone teaching a student to become famous all over the world. If your own level is not up to that level, it is better to dream than to be realistic.
Therefore, before starting each mission, he had to learn the relevant knowledge and skills in advance, so that he could perfectly fit the role assigned to him by the system. Although many things can be exchanged in the system, it can only assist him in learning better rather than directly instilling them into him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to do the task, and the heroine would have been directly enlightened, which was simple and crude.
By this calculation, the time he took to complete each task increased a lot.
At the beginning, his emotions were easily affected by the outside world, whether happy or angry. But as the number of missions continued to accumulate, he was able to remain calm, and few people or things could move him.
Even if the system message had changed his identity and gender, he could accept it calmly. But what happened today was completely beyond his expectations.
In fact, he realized something was wrong when Yunshu asked him if he liked her. He liked her, there was no doubt about that, but not in the way she thought. In his cognition, Yunshu is his past, full of regrets and unwillingness. Now that he has the opportunity to make up for it, he will naturally do his best. But he overlooked one point: Yunshu knew nothing at all, which led to today's misunderstanding.
But it was too late. She only gave two options, yes or no. Influenced by her birth and upbringing, she has always been cautious in relationships, sensitive and fragile inside. She is so proactive and bold in her behavior today because she has gained enough confidence and security from him.
If his answer was no, one can imagine that the courage she had finally mustered would be shattered in an instant, and she would take back her steps and close her heart again, even more tightly than before.
So he could only say yes.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly kissed me.
What does it feel like to be kissed by yourself? At this moment, Jing Ling felt very complicated inside, but he couldn't show it no matter what.
For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
"You're abusing a dog in public. Believe it or not, I'll call the police and have them arrest you!" Yang Xinyao suddenly said, glaring at the two with her almond-shaped eyes. "You're being force-fed dog food right after you got off the plane. I'm suddenly worried about this trip."
After hearing this, Tan Yunshu finally realized what she had just done. Not only did she confess her love to Jing Ling, but she also forcefully kissed him in public... She froze in place, and the heat of her entire body seemed to gather in her head in an instant, and her face was so hot that it seemed like it would burn up in the next second.
She usually thought she was smart, but at this critical moment her mind went on strike, so that after trying for a long time, she could only come up with a lame excuse, "Xinyao, I'm hungry, let's go eat!" After she said that, she simply pulled Yang Xinyao away.
"Oh, the luggage! And Jing Ling!" Yang Xinyao reminded.
"Whatever, let's eat first!"
"……All right."
She said she was going to eat, but in fact she just pulled Yang Xinyao out of Jing Ling's sight, stopped in a remote corner, stroked her chest with her hand, and let out a long sigh.
"Yunshu, you're not shy, are you?" Yang Xinyao finally reacted, looking surprised, "When we met just now, you asked me directly if I liked you, and then kissed me directly. The whole process was done in one go, it was so neat and tidy. You didn't see that Jing Ling was stunned at the time. He is the kind of person who can remain calm and make a phone call in the midst of gunfire! What happened? Now you tell me that you are shy, is the contrast really that big?!"
Tan Yunshu, "...I don't know what I was thinking just now. On the way here, I was wondering what he had been through in the past few days, whether he was okay or not, and whether he was not injured... But the moment I saw him, all my original thoughts were thrown out of my mind in an instant..."
The phone in my bag suddenly vibrated; there was a call.
She took out her cell phone and saw that the caller was indeed Jing Ling. After looking at the screen quietly for a few seconds, she bit her lip and swiped to answer the call.
The boy's voice was as gentle as always, "Yunshu, I'll take the luggage to the hotel first, and then I'll pick you up later."
Not only gentle, but also careful and considerate. Knowing that she was feeling very embarrassed, I left first to give her time and space to calm down.
"...Okay, be careful on your way." She agreed and then hung up the phone. When she looked up, she saw Yang Xinyao looking at her curiously, "What did he say?"
"He said he would send the luggage back to the hotel first and come to pick us up later." Tan Yunshu repeated Jing Ling's words.
"I feel like I've been fed dog food again!" Yang Xinyao curled her lips. "But then again, shouldn't we go? He knows you're not really hungry, and I'm not interested in the food in the airport. I checked before coming here, and I vaguely remember that Hanyangju, one of the top ten famous tourist attractions in Qincheng, is nearby. Anyway, it's fine, how about going for a walk? Just to relax."
"Okay." Tan Yunshu nodded in agreement. Not to mention that she wasn't hungry at all, even if she was really hungry, she probably couldn't eat at this moment.
The two of them hailed a car and headed straight for Hanyangju. They played until almost four o'clock when Jing Ling called to ask where they were. He said he had booked a restaurant and would have dinner together later. The time was just right. By the time they got to the hotel from the airport and took a shower and changed clothes, it would be time for dinner.
The restaurant Jing Ling booked was near the hotel. It was a private restaurant with a great environment and excellent chef skills.
Even though an entire afternoon had passed, she still felt a little embarrassed when she saw Jing Ling again. However, she put this emotion behind her after all the dishes were served. Although this time was not as exaggerated as the last time they had dinner together in the hotel, every dish he ordered was what she liked, and only half of them were what she liked, but they were all carefully placed in front of her.
She looked at the dishes and thought back to everything he had done before, and suddenly she came to her senses.
If you like it, you like it. There's nothing to be embarrassed about.
The meal was unexpectedly enjoyable. After eating and drinking, Yang Xinyao began to think about where to go for fun in the evening. Since the host Jing Ling had only been in Qincheng for less than a year and had been filming outside for most of that time, she didn't expect him to give her any good advice and looked for guides on her own on the Internet.
She spent most of the day choosing and deciding on a few places, and was just about to ask Jing Ling for his opinion when his cell phone rang.
The caller was Shen Ze, his poor manager.
"My little master, your Weibo has been silent for almost a month, and your fans are all anxiously waiting. Have you considered comforting them? Also, the movie "Lonely Island" will be released in less than a month, and other actors have already started to cooperate with the promotion, but you have no reaction at all. And you didn't reply when the official Weibo circled you two days ago. I called to remind you about this, but your phone was always turned off. I couldn't find anyone at school, and they said you took a leave. My little master, where have you been? Do you know how badly the Internet users have used this to smear you? Even your base camp, the Nanzhou Forum, has almost collapsed!"
Shen Ze was always very calm, but at this moment his voice sounded a little frantic.
"Sorry." Jing Ling apologized. He was indeed negligent in this matter, because this mission was confidential and very dangerous. Theoretically, they were not allowed to take their daily mobile phones with them, otherwise if something unexpected happened and they fell into the hands of the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, it happened to be Yunshu's birthday, and he bargained with Mr. Jiang for a long time. Although the other party agreed to let him bring the mobile phone, he could only turn it on that day and had to destroy it directly after making a call.
I didn’t expect that the official Weibo account would coincidentally circle him during this period, causing Shen Ze to be unable to contact him.
"Forget it, it's all in the past anyway, there's no point talking about it anymore. There's still some time before the movie is released, so you can be diligent and show an attitude during this period, and you can always save something. As for the rest, we'll talk about it later." Shen Ze quickly calmed down, and his tone returned to his usual calmness.
"According to the agreement, I shouldn't ask about your private affairs, but the situation is rather special now, and I have to give an explanation to the outside world about the Weibo incident, so may I ask where you have been these days?"
"Sorry, I can't tell you."
Shen Ze: "...Okay, in this case, either you give me a reasonable reason, or I will make up a reason for you, you decide."
