Chapter 1528: Chapter 575: Confirming the Relationship with Xu Nuo
Xu Nuo obviously hadn’t expected him to be so straightforward, and immediately shot him a sideways glare.
"You... what you’re saying is kind of pervy, you know? You’re not allowed to talk nonsense!"
Zhang Jingdong said, perfectly justified, "I’m still being a perv now? The two of us already count as boyfriend and girlfriend. There’s nothing wrong with what I said, is there?"
"You... what nonsense are you spouting?" Xu Nuo got anxious right away. "Who’s your girlfriend, huh?"
Zhang Jingdong pouted. "Classmate Xu Nuo, you really change your clothes and don’t recognize people anymore, huh? Do I have to take out evidence before you’ll admit you already like me now?"
As he spoke, Zhang Jingdong directly pulled out his phone and waved it in front of her.
Xu Nuo chickened out in an instant.
Qi Siyuan said at this moment, "Looks like I missed a lot of exciting plot last night, huh? Xu Nuo, you’re way too un-sisterlike. You two are already together and you didn’t even tell me. Do you still consider me your bestie or not?"
"I..."
Xu Nuo was completely speechless this time.
She had no way out of it—she really had admitted to a certain someone last night that she liked him.
Seeing how "honest" she was being, Zhang Jingdong quickly struck while the iron was hot and stepped forward to grab her hand.
"Alright, stop struggling with it. Let’s just admit it already. Anyway, we already confessed to each other last night. I’m not scared—what are you afraid of?"
Xu Nuo was instantly both angry and flustered, but she couldn’t bring herself to deny it.
So she could only roll her eyes at Zhang Jingdong in shy annoyance. "I’m not as thick-skinned as you, okay? Hmph... of course you’re not scared, you... you’re so annoying!"
Seeing her like this, Zhang Jingdong was completely delighted. He slid his hand up and directly put his arm around her fragrant shoulders.
"As the saying goes, thick skin eats its fill, thin skin goes hungry. When it comes to dating, you gotta be a bit shameless. Otherwise, three or five years later you still won’t be together, and some people even miss each other altogether for all kinds of reasons, end up regretting it for life and dying alone."
"I like you this much, I’m definitely not letting you die alone!"
Xu Nuo immediately spat at him, "You’re the one who’s gonna die alone. Like I can’t find anyone else without you?"
Zhang Jingdong said smoothly, "There’s another saying: ’Having seen the vast sea, no other waters will do; after Mount Wu, no other clouds are worth looking at.’ Once you’ve seen a top-tier, exceptional man like me, how could any other man possibly catch your eye?"
Xu Nuo was so annoyed she laughed. "Hey, could your skin get any thicker?"
Zhang Jingdong shrugged. "The reason you think my skin isn’t thick enough is because you haven’t spent enough time with me yet. After we’ve been dating for half a year, a year, you’ll realize the Great Wall is nothing special—it’s not even half as thick as your boyfriend’s skin!"
Xu Nuo was amused again, then snapped at him in shy anger, "You... who’s your girlfriend? I haven’t admitted you’re my boyfriend yet!"
"We’re already like this and you still won’t admit it? Fine then..."
As he said that, Zhang Jingdong suddenly leaned in and kissed Xu Nuo on the lips.
"Congratulations, Host, for successfully kissing the target. Reward: 150,000 yuan!"
Even though Xu Nuo had taken the initiative to kiss Zhang Jingdong on the cheek yesterday, she never imagined he’d actually dare kiss her on the mouth right now. She was instantly rattled!
"Zhang Jingdong, you... you’ve got some nerve! This is my house!"
Zhang Jingdong just said, "So what? Believe it or not, I’d dare kiss you like this even right in front of your parents."
"Plus, I think not only would your parents not be mad, they’d actually give us their blessing, because they’re very satisfied with me right now. You should’ve already noticed that when we were having breakfast just now, right?"
"Didn’t you hear that when they were giving me all those reminders, they were basically hinting that the two of us can be together?"
Xu Nuo immediately slapped away Zhang Jingdong’s naughty hand. "You... you really think too highly of yourself, don’t you? My parents did not mean that!"
Zhang Jingdong whipped his phone out again. "Alright then, since you won’t admit it, I’ll call your dad right now and tell him everything, including the conversation we had last night. We’ll listen to what he thinks together."
As he spoke, he started operating his phone.
Xu Nuo panicked on the spot. "Don’t... okay, okay, I... I admit it, alright? I admit everything, I surrender, okay?"
Seeing her surrender, Zhang Jingdong felt secretly triumphant, but he said out loud, "From the sound of it, you still seem a bit unwilling. In that case, I’d better call your dad and let him be the judge for me."
Xu Nuo hurriedly stepped forward and wrapped both hands around the one holding his phone. "Don’t mess around. I’m not unwilling, I just... everything happened too fast, and I haven’t fully adjusted yet."
"I promise I’ll hurry up and get used to you being my boyfriend, okay?"
"As for my parents... I want to tell them after we’ve officially been together for a while. Otherwise, they’ll definitely think I’ve been lying to them all along and that we’ve been together this whole time."
Zhang Jingdong suddenly understood and said, "Alright, that does make sense."
"But to punish you for daring to deny our relationship just now, you have to do one thing now."
"What thing?"
"Kiss me again."
"You..." Xu Nuo’s face flushed scarlet. "Zhang Jingdong, don’t go too far!"
"You’ve already admitted I’m your boyfriend. Is this request really too much? I’m already being super righteous by not making you take the initiative to kiss me, okay?"
