Shu Ran originally hesitated because Long Yue and the others hadn’t left yet, making a couple of futile attempts to struggle, but upon realizing it was useless, she immediately gave up and let someone act presumptuously.
Long Yue and the others clearly sensed their boss’s impatience, so they finished the inspection in less than five minutes.
However, upon leaving, Long Yue gave Zhang Jingdong a piercing look and then left with Song Yu.
Zhang Jingdong didn’t wait for the two to turn into the elevator before entering the room, closing the door, and then he pinned Shu Ran against it with a door-slam kiss!
Shu Ran thought Zhang Jingdong was going to kiss her, she closed her eyes out of shyness and a sense of anticipation.
Initially, Zhang Jingdong indeed couldn’t wait to kiss her directly, but seeing her rare adorable expression at this moment, he stopped and watched her with great interest.
After waiting for about half a minute, seeing that Zhang Jingdong hadn’t kissed her yet, Shu Ran slowly opened her eyes.
She found Zhang Jingdong staring at her with intense eyes, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
"You... why are you looking at me ?"
Zhang Jingdong teased: "Then why did you close your eyes just now?"
Shu Ran noticed the mischievous smile at the corner of Zhang Jingdong’s mouth and instantly realized he was teasing her, her face filled with playful annoyance: "Hmph... you did that on purpose!"
Zhang Jingdong held back his laughter, continuing to play dumb: "What did I do on purpose?"
"You’re nasty... I’m not talking to you anymore!"
Shu Ran said this and tried to escape, but Zhang Jingdong caught her again, and then he went for a passionate and everlasting kiss!
After a full ten minutes, Zhang Jingdong finally let go of Shu Ran, seemingly reluctant to end it.
Shu Ran quickly adjusted her breathing and hesitated: "What’s with you? Last night you... you handled all three of them, how come just now you were so... so intense?"
Zhang Jingdong casually said: "You still don’t realize I have a special talent in that regard? Well, you’ll understand after you’ve taken my ’course’."
"And do you know what I had for lunch?"
"What? Ginseng? Oysters?"
Zhang Jingdong immediately burst into laughter: "Looks like you know quite a lot about that stuff, but no, it’s none of that, I didn’t have lunch, what I had was my longing for you."
Shu Ran was taken aback at first, then quickly caught on, her face melting into sweetness.
Seeing she liked this sort of talk, Zhang Jingdong continued: "And for the next month, I’ve decided to be vegetarian every evening, guess why?"
Shu Ran thought for a moment, then shook her head with a smile: "I have no idea, why?"
"Because you’re my dish!"
"I’ll only eat meat occasionally during the day, you continue to guess why?"
This time Shu Ran sort of got Zhang Jingdong’s drift, so she pondered a bit more and then said: "Because I am... the apple of your eye?"
"Truly worthy of being my Teacher Shu, brilliant indeed!"
Zhang Jingdong said, pulling her into his embrace and giving her cheek a solid kiss as a reward.
After some more affectionate time together, Zhang Jingdong looked around and then said: "Teacher Shu, it’s my first time here, would it be okay for you to give me a tour of your boudoir?"
A bit shyly, Shu Ran nodded: "Sure, let’s go."
Shu Ran’s apartment was one of Jiangdu’s earliest large flats, with a living space of 300 square meters.
They toured the living room, two guest bedrooms, the dressing room, the fitness room, and finally arrived at the master bedroom door.
Shu Ran leaned against the door, her face bashfully looking at Zhang Jingdong: "This is the master bedroom... are you sure you want to see?"
Zhang Jingdong was savvy: "Sooner or later I’ll sleep here anyway. If you’re not mentally prepared now, I can just take a look the next time I come over."
Shu Ran pressed her lips together: "You can go in now if you want, but you have to promise me one thing?"
"Whatever it is, just say it – as long as it doesn’t cost my life, I can promise you anything!"
"I once made a wish that any man who enters this room must stay with me for life!"
"Jingdong, you are the first man I’ve ever liked in my life, and the last. I’m willing to be with you forever, so can you promise me to never leave me, no matter what difficulties we encounter?"
Zhang Jingdong was curious about the "any difficulties" she mentioned, but knew that he couldn’t hesitate at this moment, or else all his efforts would be in vain.
He immediately said: "Of course I can, you will always be Zhang Jingdong’s woman, no matter what, I will protect you for a lifetime!"
Upon hearing that, Shu Ran instantly became happy, proactively kissed Zhang Jingdong on the mouth, and then opened the door to the master bedroom.
Entering the room, Zhang Jingdong was startled by the countless Athena dolls hanging from the ceiling.
"Wow, Teacher Shu, I dare say your bedroom is the dream room of all kids under 18 nationwide; this is too dreamy!"
Shu Ran pouted: "Don’t you think I’m too childish?"
Zhang Jingdong sighed: "This isn’t childishness, but naivety and innocence. To me, anyone who can maintain a childlike heart is the happiest person in the world!"
"And being with such a person will also definitely be happy, I’m overjoyed just thinking about it!"
After chatting some more, Zhang Jingdong then said: "Alright, time for my punishment."
Shu Ran bit her lip: "You... you’re sure?"
Zhang Jingdong teased her: "What, can’t bear to punish me now?"
Shu Ran glared at him: "That’s not the case."
Seeing Zhang Jingdong wasn’t joking, Shu Ran said: "Then... are you sure I should do it?"
Zhang Jingdong touched his nose: "Friendship aside, but if you lose, you’ve got to accept the punishment, otherwise we can’t play this game in the future!"
"Alright, then I’ll go get the racket and balls."
Shu Ran turned back: "What’s the matter? Having second thoughts?"
"Of course not, I just have a small request."
"What’s the request?"
"Could you also change into that sporty dress?"
Shu Ran’s face blushed instantly: "Why change into that?"
Zhang Jingdong curled his lips: "This time we’re talking about 10 balls, and I’m at risk of being half-crippled; you’ve got to give me some small perks, right?"
"Ugh... I knew when you brought up punishment, you had an ulterior motive."
Seeing she was almost agreed, Zhang Jingdong then played his trump card.
He pleaded in a sappy tone: "Teacher Shu, please."
Shu Ran was immediately amused by his childlike manner: "Who asked you to still be a student, fine."
Zhang Jingdong then bowed to her: "Thank you, Teacher Shu!"
Shu Ran rolled her eyes at him, then turned and headed for the dressing room.
