Chapter 32
Lin Jianzhi felt like the scene around her was slowing down, the surrounding noises fading away, time and space frozen in this moment.
All that remained was the delicate fragrance close by and their hands held together.
She looked straight ahead at Zhu Liheng's shoulders.
Then she saw those shoulders leaning towards her, his breath above her head.
At this instant, Lin Jianzhi's heart was beating so fast she could barely feel it!
She looked up, meeting Zhu Liheng's bright, intent gaze looking right at her.
Instinctively, Lin Jianzhi's eyes shifted down slightly, staring at Zhu Liheng's lips.
Immediately after, her pupils constricted!
The scene from that night in the car surfaced in her mind once more.
The intertwined lips overlapping with the face before her eyes.
She instantly blushed crimson, a mistiness gathering in her eyes.
Zhu Liheng was so close to her!
So close that her body trembled, her mind furiously spinning out a series of impulsive thoughts.
Lin Jianzhi's lips parted slightly, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.
Zhu Liheng...
If she were to kiss you now, would you pull away?
Suddenly!
"Whoa f*ck! Zhu Liheng?"
Jiang Jingyi's shout roared in from the distance, breaking the atmosphere between them.
Mu Yin was also there, waving madly: "Zhu Liheng! Ahhhh!"
Quan Kaiji was the first to whip out his phone: "You two idiots, don't shout, quick take a photo!"
Snap!
The moment the camera shutter sound rang out.
In fright, Lin Jianzhi jerked her hand out of Zhu Liheng's clasp!
Her entire being reacted like a startled deer, in an instant running three meters away into the shadows.
As if to find a place to hide.
Zhu Liheng looked at his empty palm, then back at Lin Jianzhi hiding with her back facing him over there.
He hadn't even started, and she was already so frightened?
Shortly after, he turned and nodded at Mu Yin and the other two rushing over.
Mu Yin was so excited her eyeballs nearly popped out: "Zhu Liheng! Did you come to pick up little Jianzhi?"
Just as Zhu Liheng was about to reply...
Jiang Jingyi: "Send us back too! We can't get a cab!"
His hands really were too good-looking, she could never get enough of watching them.
Especially when he silently drove, that utterly absorbed look was just too charming!
Lin Jianzhi never dared to say things like this, only silently watching every time, later reminiscing by herself.
Who knew Jiang Jingyi would blurt it out loud this time?
Causing even Zhu Liheng himself to pause briefly in surprise.
Quan Kaiji was the strong, silent type who let his actions speak, he recorded a video and uploaded it straight to their class group chat.
As expected, the group blew up!
[Jingyi No.1 Middle School Class 3 Grade 12 (2)]
'Whose hand is that?'
'Ahhhhh! I'll take those hands thank you!'
'Why does your driver look like a hottie? Show us his face!!'
'F*ck, watch until the end of the video, that's Jiang Jingyi's voice yelling Zhu Liheng!'
'I heard it! Jiang Jingyi hahaha!'
'Wait, why is Zhu Liheng your driver?!'
'Gotta @Lin Jianzhi for this one.'
Right then, Quan Kaiji unleashed his killer move, posting the earlier shot of the two holding hands in the group.
The summer sunlight shone down upon two figures dressed in white standing out starkly front and center in the frame, surrounding pedestrians and scenery fading into unimportance.
White shirt and sundress, ten interlaced fingers, gazes locked intensely upon one another.
So very, very close!
The entire group started wailing!
'Why did I have to go back to Jingyi early? What did I miss?!'
'Help, they're already holding hands and still denying they're a couple? No drunkenness to blame this time eh!'
'Looks like it was Zhu Liheng who made the first move?'
'Drove to pick her up at the theme park entrance, hand holding, pulling her luggage...this is way too sweet!'
'Sparks are flying! Kiss her! Kiss already!'
'I got so excited I literally yelled out loud in the car, the uncle driver turned back to glare at me!'
'@Quan Kaiji quick tell me if they kissed!'
'Quan Kaiji: Nope, that moron Jiang Jingyi hollered and interrupted things.'
'......'
Of course Lin Jianzhi didn't dare check the group messages right then. Sitting in the passenger seat she was nearly paralyzed from tension!
She didn't dare chat with Mu Yin and the others behind, didn't dare look at Zhu Liheng either.
All she could do was stare idiotically out the window like a dummy.
Nothing but highways in sight, she had no idea what she was even looking at.
