Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Jia’er once thought that she would never be moved by anyone. She did not expect that there would be such a day when a warm current passed from the palm of Jin Xiangdong to hers, then went straight to her heart. Her heart stopped beating for a second, then like a drum playing, raced towards the climax of performance.

Jin Xiangdong also shook hands with her many times, knowing that her hands were very soft, and that every time he would have the slightest thought of not letting go.

“Do you know what it means when a man and a woman hold hands?” Lu Jia’er gazed at Jin Xiangdong’s hand for a few seconds before she asked.

“I have little experience, so please enlighten me!” Jin Xiangdong lifted his mouth.

“That you are taking a lot of liberty with me or you want to be my boyfriend!” Lu Jia’er said. She almost laughed out loud. What a surprisingly sexy and scheming man! But after several rounds of contest, she had also learned about his tricks.

“Oh, then which type do you think I am?” Jin Xiangdong looked indifferent.

“The one taking a big liberty with me!” Lu Jia’er replied bluntly.

“Why am I not a boyfriend?” the smile of Jin Xiangdong grew bigger.

“Because you said that you are very difficult to chase! So how can it be so easy for me? Am I right?” Lu Jia’er answered, it was going just as she had expected.

Upon hearing her words, Jin Xiangdong nodded seriously. “Yes!” After that, he held Lu Jia’er’s hand and let go slowly, but Lu Jia’er grabbed his and wouldn’t let go.

“You took the initiative to hold hands, so don’t you ever think about letting go!” Lu Jia’er held his hand and said in an arrogant tone.

“Do you mean that from now on I can only hold your hand and grow old with you!” Jin Xiangdong beamed.

This love maxim which had been popular for more than two thousand years stirred Lu Jia’er’s heart. Her cheeks glowed, and she looked at Jin Xiangdong with shyness, “Is this a confession of love?”

“Yes, but it is your confession to me!” Jin Xiangdong smiled and said.

“Whether it is my confession to you, or your confession to me, you said that you shall hold my hand and grow old with me. A promise is a promise!” Lu Jia’er acted shamelessly like a little girl as she got the hang of Jin Xiangdong’s tricks.

“Didn’t you just say that I am taking large liberties with you?” Jin Xiangdong beamed with joy.

“Did I say that? Why don’t I remember?” The probability of winning an arguement with a science major with powerful logical thinking was very low, so Lu Jia’er kept acting shamelessly, which was a trick every girl could pick up without being taught.

“Are you a goldfish?” Jin Xiangdong asked smiling.

“Yeah, I am a goldfish with a memory that can only last seven seconds!” Lu Jia’er answered.

Her look of acting shamelessly was totally different from that at work. Although she was very charming at work, she was so cute and lovable right now that he had a soft spot for her.

“So what kind of films would the little goldfish with a memory of seven seconds like to watch?”

“A horror film!” Lu Jia’er replied.

Jin Xiangdong blinked, then smiled, “Let’s go!” Afterward he slowly let go of Lu Jia’er’s hand.

When their hands departed, they had a sentimental attachment to each other, and their hearts were full of joy and jolly.

Jin Xiangdong started the car, left the parking lot, and there was silence for nearly a minute before he said, “Have you been under a lot of stress recently?”

“Why do you think so?” Lu Jia’er was amazed, and turned around glancing at Jin Xiangdong.

“I do have stress, which I can still bear!” Lu Jia’er agreed. Sometimes he and she were like long-time lovers. They knew each other’s thoughts by reading expressions.
