At the moment Bao Nan kissed her, Jiang Tong’s heart started to race.
It was even more so with him teasing her ear with his warm breath.
Bao Nan was still pressing on her, but he had released his grip on her wrists.
"Why aren’t you saying anything, huh?"
He leaned his forehead against hers, his pale lips still stained with her lipstick.
Jiang Tong’s face flushed red, and she was suddenly at a loss.
Just as Bao Nan lowered his head to kiss her again, she suddenly pushed him away with force.
Bao Nan, entirely focused on kissing her, lost his balance from her sudden push and stumbled back several steps.
Taking advantage of the moment, Jiang Tong blushed and dashed out.
Bao Nan, still dressed in a hospital gown, stood there dazed with a faint smile in his eyes.
He gently wiped his lips with his thumb, staining his fair skin with a bright red.
Looking at the hint of red, Bao Nan hummed a happy tune and grabbed his phone from the bedside table.
Opening WeChat, he changed his main profile picture to match Jiang Tong’s and altered his name from the formal "Bao Nan" to the playful "Pumpkin Pie".
After setting everything up, he smugly posted on his Moments.
Pumpkin Pie
Can anyone tell me what shade of lipstick my girlfriend is wearing?

In less than three seconds, the likes shot past a hundred, including howls of dismay from his friends.
[Zeze is a Handsome Guy: What the heck is going on, Second Bro found someone?]
[Si.: ???]
[Huai Bei Huai Bei: Congratulations.]
[Qin Xiaomei: Son, you managed to snag Little Tongtong?]
[Shen Xiu: Whoa whoa, matching WeChat profile and couple name with Sister Tong!?]
[Chen Qianye: Is this an official announcement?]
[Zeze is a Handsome Guy: What the heck, asking about your girlfriend’s lipstick shade is blatantly showing off your love, alright, I’m off to strip and go streaking T﹏T]
Seeing the flood of congratulatory comments under the post, Bao Nan couldn’t help but laugh silly at his phone.
"..."
Jiang Tong, panting, ran outside, clutching her wildly beating heart.
Oh my goodness.
Why hadn’t she noticed before that Bao Nan was so skilled at teasing people?
It made her heart pound like it wasn’t her own.
As she was in her flustered state, her phone suddenly rang.
She pressed the answer button and Xia Qiao’s hurried voice, slightly out of breath, came through.
"Girl, where are you? I’m almost at the Xiehe Hospital entrance. Don’t do anything silly! I’m coming over! Hang in there!"
Seeing her in such a hurry, Jiang Tong sheepishly touched her nose, "Well..."
"What’s with the ’well’! It’s just a guy, no big deal, one ’bye’ and the next one will be even better. Send me your location, I’m..."
"No, actually, what I wanted to say earlier was, it seems like I just got a boyfriend now..."
As Jiang Tong’s words fell silent, there was silence on the other end of the line too.
Then came a loud, skyward shout of "Damn" before the call was abruptly ended, leaving a beeping sound.
Jiang Tong looked at the hung-up call, innocently blinking her peach blossom eyes.
Bao Nan opened the door, just in time to see her standing outside.
With a smile in his eyes, he gently called out to her, "Girlfriend, time to come in for dinner."
